My ENT doctor tells me that it is normal to find such fungus in the sinus cavities. She told me that all my problems are due to a cat allergy. I think she is full of ****. An allergy doesn't cause the symptoms I was suffering from - apart from the severe headaches I had tingling and numbness down both arms and legs, a horrible nauseous dizziness that I found incapacitating, gastrointestinal symptoms, complete loss of my sense of smell, tachycardia, tinnitus and other symptoms. The MRI scan was normal BTW. I was hoping it would show that I have a right frontal sinus. The CT scans said that I don't have one, but I thought it might have been full of fungus. It seems not. I was washing large amounts of this gunk out of my nose several times a day when I was really sick. As my health improved the amount of black stuff diminished. When I am feeling well no fungus comes out when I do the flooding, when I am sick I find fungus. My wife also had this, and was washing the same black stuff out of her nose, and experienced the same things - less and less black stuff as she felt better and better. > >I still tend to believe the black stuff I am looking at in the mucus coming > out after the flooding are the silver particles which >have clumped > together, as the other mucus liquid is clear and the Mesosilver that was put > in is a dark liquid.

It is horrible to think that there is a mould living inside your head. In my case I could smell and taste the mould after washing it out. Yuk! I think the silver is staining the fungal material, so taking it out of solution. I did a flooding yesterday and saw only a few tiny black filaments. Other times I have washed out big chunks, half an inch across, of fungal hyphae attached at the base. If it was a chemical reaction it would happen consistently every time. I have attached some photos I took of this stuff - I think the list will remove them IMAGES REMOVED AS LIST CHOKES ON THEM but I'll copy to your personal email. The sinus stuff photo is what I washed out in one flooding procedure - the jug is a 1 litre measuring jug to give some scale. The other two photos are of the black stuff under a microscope x100. Compare with these http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=aspergillus+fumigatus bearing in mind this is an old microscope. > >I do feel SIGNIFICANTLY better right now after having done two flooding > procedures two days apart, each with two >rinse sessions 45 min apart, quite > amazing relief actually, so I believe that I have had some kind of mold > infection and will >continue to do daily flooding procedures for a week or > two and see what happens, I still consider to get a sinus irrigator to >make > sure I get the CS into the deep cavities, I guess I should get hold of some > DMSO as well?

I find GSE very uncomfortable in a nasal rinse, so be careful with the concentration! I have suffered for days after overdoing it. The same goes for hydrogen peroxide, tea tree oil and oregano oil. DMSO is OK, and gives me a strong feeling of well-being after using it in a flooding for some reason. > >I just wonder if I should have any lab tests done in a few weeks from now > to verify if I have any kind of aspergillus growth in >my sinuses.

Conventional doctors will tell you that we all have fungal spores in our sinuses normally, and that lab tests won't tell you anything. I would suggest using the appearance of black fibrous stuff in your flooding solution as a measure of how well you are doing. It works for me! Fungal spores are hard to kill - they can survive interstellar space for example! I don't think CS on its own will kill spores. It does, in its darker form, seem to remove fungus from the sinuses. I tried doing the flooding with saline, and then mixing the result with dark CS to see if anything stained.

It's hard to visualize the sinuses in 3D. The problem is that the openings to the sinuses, the ostia, are tiny, so all you can do is to wash any gunk from these openings, and maybe get a little fluid inside the frontal sinuses. It is the 2nd part with the head hanging down and forward that gets to the frontal sinuses. Best wishes, Paul H -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
