my easy cure for sinus infection

[mightypen]

this is not a question. I have been using a technique to cure my sinus infections for years, now, and I want to share it. It works every time within 24 hours, or so. All I do is vibrate the mucous mass in my sinus using either a powerful bass speaker at the right frequency, or using a powerful massager of some sort, and pressing my head into it at different angles and with varying pressure until i feel the painful area vibrating. I'm guessing i just break up the mucous mass, allowing it to drain over the next few hours. The key is finding the resonant frequency of the mass. I find that frequency, then let it shake for a few minutes, maybe 2-5 minutes. Then, I just wait, and by the time I wake up the next day, the sinus infection is gone. For me, it works every single time. The first time I did it (by accident, installing a sound system in my car), I had had a terrible sinus infection for 2 1/2 weeks that was extremely painful. I woke up the next day cured.
Please pass this on to a professional. I hope it can help others.

J/K, but I do have a vibrator - the real one - with diff speeds, however, when  you say things like, "powerful bass speaker at the right frequency" and, " The key is finding the resonant frequency of the mass"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN, and it seems others don't follow either.  Is it possible for you to do a you tube video to post?  I just tried it with what I have, using diff speeds, so not sure of the outcome, but if this works...I'M GOING TO TRACK YOU DOWN AND KISS YOU RIGHT ON THE MOUTH!!!

Great information.  I would just like to add that sometimes chronic sinusitis can actually be caused by dental issues. If you have a tooth in your upper teeth that has issues it will impact your sinuses.  Just be aware that this could be a contributing factor to a recurrent sinus infection

I hate to beat a dead horse, here, but I'd like to address your technique again. I still think it's possible you are not applying enough force with the massager. You said you don't feel pain in the affected area when you use the massager. When I use mine, I place it on the floor, lay a towel or pillow over it, and I press my head into it, using much of my body weight to press very hard. If you are using your arm strength to press it to your head, you may just be doing it too gently.
Try this: put the massager against the wall, maybe in the corner, maybe with a cloth or pad between it and the wall so it doesn't hurt the wall, and lean into it very hard. push your head into it at different angles until you feel the sore part of your sinuses rattling. When I do it, it always hurts the infected area.
I believe the technique works because you find the resonant frequency of the area of flesh that is affected, and therefore it vibrates enough to detach the mucous from the flesh wall. Then it just takes a day or so for the mucous to drain, and for the inflamed flesh to calm down.
When I do the technique, I feel like my brain is going to rattle itself right out of my head.
I must admit that part of the reason I want it to work for you is because I want to think my technique works, but mainly I just want you to get better. No matter what technique ends up helping, I really hope you solve this problem.
All the best,
mighty

Thanks heaps for your suggestion. I also like the helpful, patient, good humoured way you respond to people, even when they're being just a tad dogmatic or obtuse! Just got to find a vibrator shop that I'm not embarrassed to go in to!

It's a fairly powerful massager made by Homedics. It's heavyweight, with 2 of those rounded massager heads. Maybe I'm not using it long enough. I certainly haven't used it to the point of experiencing pain in the sinus areas. Just went back to the doc last Friday. He put me on Keflex antibiotic for 3 weeks, prescribed Nasocort steroid spray and a 7-day prescription for prednisone oral steroid tablets. That has eliminated the nasal stuffiness, but I still get bouts of the pressure and drainage down my throat and into my chest. Not sure if this is going to work, but I'm trying to remain optimistic. I appreciate you sharing the info about the vibration therapy. It does help a lot and can provide a great amount of relief, even if it doesn't cure a persistent problem. I believe it could help a lot of people if they were receptive to trying it. Thanks again.

How powerful is the massager? I use a powerful foot massager; I press my head into it until i feel pain in the area of the infection. It really rattles my head. I press my head in different angles for about 5 minutes. I don't really notice a difference until the next day, when the infection is gone.
Obviously, this post was about vibration, so I don't have any other advice to offer. I don't know any other methods. I hope you can figure out how to rid yourself of the infection. I know how painful and suppressing it can be.

Using a vibrating massager often works well for me to dislodge mucous, especially if I can induce sneezing by running it up the sides of my nose. I've used the saline rinse with both a traditional neti pot and a battery powered sinus irrigator and this helps drain some of it as well. However, neither technique has managed to cure my sinus infections, only temporarily alleviate the stuffiness. I've had a sinus infection now for over 2 months, and I'm really discouraged. I've tried almost everything. It seems to get a little better then comes right back. Been on 2 rounds of antibiotics, used saline rinse, HEPA air filter in my bedroom, steam inhalation, green teas with honey and lemon, apple cider vinegar, warm compresses, antihistamines, you name it. I'm getting really discouraged. I don't know what else to do. I want my life back.

If you have had no luck with all these, I suggest drinking Golden Seal tea 2-3 times a day for 2 or 3 days at a time. Get  Golden Seal Root powder from health food store or food co-op. It's pricey but you only need to buy a teaspoon of it. You put a very small amount in a cup, a small pinch about the size of a quarter of a lentil or less, then pour very hot water over it, stir and steep covered for a few minutes. Add a spoonful of honey for taste and theraputic qualities. The tea will dry out your sinuses. Drink plenty of water over the course of the day to avoid dehydration. When it dries out your nose, stop the tea for a few days and see how your sinuses feel.
Combining nasal rinses with this should help too.
One cup of the tea with honey is also good for itchy throat or runny nose to stave off a cold or sore throat.
It's also a diuretic so you will have to urinate more and consider carefully if you have kidney issues.
