Hope this helps someone; it is a note I am sending to the Fibromyalgia list
http://www.psha-inc.com/guai-support/
I happened to see a Dr's recommendation on sinusitis and the benefit of
guaifenesin for it. Ah, thought I sadly, but not for me, as I don't take it
orally. No, I then answered myself, you have it ready mixed to apply
anywhere, so apply it to your sinus areas. I did, and by some strange
coincidence, the sinuses were much clearer next day. Fluke, of course.
Except that they kept improving, as I kept applying it. I am now of the
opinion that topical guai is helpful for sinusitis.
I remember one of our Guai list friends musing whether topical guai, self
mixed, would really work. Well, I tended to think so. But of course, my
memory got so bad on guai that I forgot what it was like to wake with stiff
hands, toss and turn and wake in pain many times throughout the night. But
I got a demonstration recently. I needed to take a course of treatment
which meant taking salicylate rich ingredients, and although I did intend to
keep taking the guai, my
experiment with extra ingredients to my topical guai alarmed me when I found
red streaks through it. Later I realised that rather than mold, one
particular ingredient did turn red when it got wet, so it was probably all
right. But I had thrown it out, and didn't get around to making any more
for some weeks.
My pains increased and my FM symptoms all popped up again to say hello.
When I started waking with stiff hands, I knew enough was enough, and mixed
up another batch, whereupon my symptoms started fading again. I tend to the
view that topical guai is effective, particularly the way I make it!
I make it thus: take the desired quantity of guai powder (I am using
Fludan from Canada) and put in an ointment jar. Add emu oil to a thick
paste. Thin
with a mix of colloidal silver and DMSO to a creamy consistency. Done.
Why this, why that? Originally the emu oil was to aid penetration. Even
though I now use DMSO, I still use the oil because it makes it nice and
creamy, and I think it counteracts any drying effect of any other
ingredients. The colloidal silver started because I felt the need of
something wet to dissolve any granules that left a gritty feel in the
original paste. I felt I might as well use something that kills germs.
When I found out about DMSO, I used the CS to dilute it.
The DMSO turns it into something like an injection without needles, in
that it apparently carries it not only to the skin but the tissues. Some
commercial pain creams are now using it in their formulation.
So now when it's time for my dose you may see me dip my fingers in the jar
and slather the goo on my nose - a sort of hooter goo - er, guai.
Good wishes
Rowena
