Need Help for 6 Year Sinus Issue
Help me solve a 6+ year mystery with white strands in my sinuses
They are various lengths skinny pure white sticky mucus strands. Gets worse around new and full moon.
I am veryyyy miserably EMF sensivitive. I have terrible insomnia in hotels or large apartment complexes. I have headaches at my place of work. I think it has migrated to my thyroid.
Either I'm using the wrong tactics (maybe it's more fungal than parasitic) or I have an impenetrable biofilm. The only thing I've tested positive for is MARCONS. I'm taking an EDTA formula for this.
I've narrowed it down to hyphal candida/fungi, mold, or parasites (yet nothing seems to even touch it, no die off or anything).
Has anyone experienced this? How did you tackle this beast? Nothing has made it better and it's been sooo long! I've tried countless neti pot concoctions to no avail. Let me know and thank you for your sage wisdom!

My late husband constantly battled sinus infections, but when he added garlic to the netti pot, everything cleared up. It's worth a try for you. Here is a youtube video from Dr Berg:

Hi Sinuswoes,
I have also had a sinus infection now for almost 6 years. I had fluid in my sinuses for years, that the doc said would go away, then it became an ear and sinus infection. I took plenty of antibiotics, and it would always drain into that ear. Did the netti pot with all sorts of treatments, took colloidal silver for months (don't recommend as it doesn't work now). I have Hashimotos, heavy metals and candida, so plenty of other issues. Here's what has worked for me:
If I use a netti pot, I put in a drop of iodine and a drop of coated silver (which is a concentrated dose, I think 6000mcg, with the saline. I also have citri drops that are antifungal and add a few of those. I might do this twice a week. It helps sometimes and sometimes not. I'm not a huge fan as it seems to wash it all out, good and bad.
About 4 years ago, I got a nose spray from the compounding pharmacy. It is MEG -Mucipiron, EDTA and Gentomycin (sp on all?). It is an antibiotic, chelator and antifungal. It helps break up all that layer of infection. My functional medicine doc's assistant said that it can be like layers of rock. Use it 3x a day; it is $80 a month, so expensive. Can't say it was very fast, but help to control the infection.
One thing that seemed to help a lot and is very little cost is nebulizing colloidal silver and iodine, maybe 1/2 tsp silver, 1 drop of iodine and 9% buffered saline. I have the omicron nebulizer and a nose piece, so it's fast and easy. You can do this several times a day; sometimes you are stuffy, so just go by how much you can tolerate. I'm sure you can do it 4-5 times a day if you need relief.
When I could not keep the ear infections under control, I took MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) for a year. Took discipline, but I knew it would take care of systemic infection. It did get rid of the ear infection that I had for 5 years.
Another thing you can do to break up the infection is take the maximum dose of serrepeptase. It breaks up proteins so helps break up all that sinus junk.
Right now, the sinus issues are very mild. I have so many other issues, I decided to get a glutathione infusion each week along with the Hyperbaric chamber to clear my liver. I have detoxed, but one thing I have noticed is that my sinuses are calm and there is hardly any infection. So make sure you are keeping your whole body as healthy as possible. If I had to do it again, I would do the nose neb, focus on cleansing the body and taken the MMS earlier.
Check out the mold in your environment and make sure you are on an anti-candida diet. You can begin taking iodine every day, check out Bill Thompson's protocol on this site. Iodine kills everything. But you do have to know if you have thyroid issues.
One more thing, I am very aware of EMF issues. I had terrible insomnia in hotels. I keep my phone in the garage and check it a few times a day. People are unaware of the effect of radiation from the satellites, cell towers and phone. I was so tired of my insomnia that I have had for 35 years, that I bought an EMF tent from Dr. Mercola. The first night I slept in it, I slept 8 hours straight, had no electric currents running through my chest and legs, no "exploding head" syndrome, and no eye pain. It is $500 (but sometimes on sale on Black Friday). Worth every penny; at least for 8-12 hours a day my body gets a break from the bombardment of everyone's phone and all the other devices that surround us.
Let me know if you have any questions. It is very hard to live with!

Wow. Thank you for such an in-depth response. Grateful to you and this special website! I will take my time to digest everything that you wrote. Would you say you had white sticky strands when you blew your nose in the shower? I don't always feel congested or sinus infection like, but the headaches are certainly constant. Fascinating about the EMF tent - honestly sounds like a dream right now!

Hi,
No I didn't have the strands, but I do have a chronic yeast issue and it was there in the sinuses as well as the body itself. Strands are definitely yeast, and plenty of infection too. I used to sometimes just have congestion and tons of pain after antibiotics, and it was just yeast. Start drinking Apple Cider Vinegar, a few times a day. 2 TBSP ACV with 1/2 tsp baking soda. Let fizz down and drink, chase with water. Sometimes immediate relief. If you can nose nebulize, as I noted before, do that. You need something to break down the biofilms and kill the yeast and infection. Most of this is internal so you need to be strict in diet, no junk food, no sugar, including fruit. Whole foods only as much as possible. If you can fast, it helps also. Look up as much as you can about antifungals, such as coconut oil and take them.
As you probably know, there are many issues because of EMF's. Sinus issues is one of them. Your body is constantly under attack and this lowers your immunity to everything else. Try to mitigate your sources of radiation, such as Ceiling fans, electric blankets, heating pads, apple watches, bluetooth (turn this off of your laptop in your settings; it draws a frequency to your machine so you want this off), wireless in your home (get wired in if you can, it's easy, then turn off wireless), Alexa (listening device and wireless radiation), baby monitors, LED's, etc. This is besides the cell phone which is your largest source because you have it with you all the time. Two of the worst are electric blankets, heating pads and ceiling fans. Have your read "The Invisible Rainbow ..." by Arthur Firstenberg? Exceptional.

Read posts here on EC, about homeopathy for chronic sinus infection. Find NAET practitioner to figure out what could be a trigger (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques). Fighting infection externally is not what you need. Once you fix the root cause via homeopathy and or NAET your body would eliminate the infection on its own. Lastly start taking LDN (lots of posts about it here on EC)
