Lower Sinus Infection Cure

The way to know if you have a sinus infection is if the stuff coming from your nose has color.  Could be yellow, orange, even green but there will be color instead of clear and then you will start to feel sinus pressure in your face along with a lower energy level.  I use this irrigation technique even when I do not have a sinus infection just to keep my sinuses in top condition but only every few weeks or months.  It also works to remove allergies and any congestion.

I visited a doctor in Seattle that helped me understand the benefits of sinus irrigation.  This technique is very simple, inexpensive, and it has worked for me 100% of the time to completely cure a sinus infection.  No need for doctors, antibiotics, insurance companies, or driving to the pharmacy.

Sinus Irrigation Procedure

1) Fill a microwave safe container with about 2 cups of water.  Spoon one or two teaspoons of baking soda and salt and make a solution to microwave for about 40 seconds.  The heater water will help drain the sinuses.  You could also heat the filtered water in a kettle and then pour it over the salt and NaHCO_3.

2) Blow your nose and clear your throat of anything that you can.  This will help allow the water to reach your sinuses.

3) Use an ear squirting device (normally blue with a bulb on one end) to squirt the water into each nostril and allow to drain.  You may sneeze and there should be mucus that will come from the nose.  Repeat this about 3-5 times in each nostril until you can breath through your nose at least a little.

4)  Now the slightly strange part.  Spray the water into each nostril but this time breath the water through your sinuses and out through your mouth.  I suggest doing this in a shower or at least over a sink because it may get messy.

5)  Use any solution left to gargle for about 30 seconds with your head lifted back.  This will also help clear excess mucus and other gunk.

Repeat this process when ever you want your sinuses to be clear and your infection should go away in a few days.  You will find relief right away but you may want to repeat this process a few times a day for 3 days until the problem is completely behind you.

If you try it and it does not work for you please leave your comments here and we will continue to improve the procedure so it will work for everyone.  So far everyone that has tried has cured their infection.  I have been using this process for many years and I have had almost no major problem with my sinuses since starting.

Caution – Spreading New Problems

Ocean, Sea Mist Brand

Nasil spray like Ocean Sea Mist suggest that you do not touch the tip to the nose.  This could be due to the spread of new problems:

“Try not to touch the container tip to the inside of your nose. If this happens, rinse the tip with hot water and dry with a clean tissue before recapping the container.”

Sinus Steaming

Sometimes you may have some inner ear pressure at the same time your sinuses are infected.  This can cause pain and sometimes an ear infection.  This steaming procedure works great and again it is totally free.

If you hear clicking in your ear or if you have pressure:

1) Fill a pan or bowl with 6 or more cups of boiling water on a table in front of you.

2) Drop a few drops of essential oil or rosemary into the water to make it more comfortable.

3) Place a large beach towel or small blanket over your head and breath through you nose and out through your mouth for about 15 minutes.

If the water or steam is too hot just move your head a little away until you can bring it closer.  Repeat a few times a day and try to clear you sinuses when they start to drain.  Did it work?

Other Sinus Options

Some people are certain that they need to take antihistamines, pain killers, decongestants, and other drugs to help with a sinus problem.  My opinion is that it really depends on the severity of the sinus congestion.  When I was younger, every medical professional I saw would immediately prescribe antibiotics if there was any color to the mucus.  We now know that misuse, resistance, and many other side effects make antibiotics a less than perfect choice to treat the usual sinus infection.  Also, many of the other over-the-counter drugs that say they can help with sinus problems have a variety of negative long-term side effects.  Normally if the irrigation has not completely worked in a few days or if I just can’t stop the pain I will use an over-the-counter drug to help me sleep or to reduce pain and swelling but this happens in only about 10% of my infections.

Humidification

One non-intrusive way to help with sinus pressure is with a humidifier.  You can use code “usduovg” on diapers.com for 20% a humidifier that will use filtered water (RO water, distilled water) and a little electricity.  The humidification seems to help keep the sinuses from becoming too dry and works very well after an irrigation session or while you sleep.

Other Concerns

One person has mentioned that they experienced some fluid in their ear after spraying water in their nose however this has not been experienced by most people but if you have any problems or concerns with this technique please leave your comments here!

This is the easiest way I have found for most users to update their ringtone with a custom sound.  I have been asked by a few people to help them find a way to do this easily so this should do the trick.

1) Update your computer, iTunes, and iPhone.  Using old versions or a variety of different versions can easily crash your progress.  Also check your iPhone sync settings to ensure ringtones any anything else that is needed will be synced in iTunes.

2) Download QuickVoice (the free version) from the iTunes App store if you do not already have it.

Recording Custom iPhone Ringtone

3) Run QuickVoice and record anything you want including a baby voice, laughing, nature sounds, or any sound you hear.  Try to make the sound happen right after you click “Record” and keep it pretty short, maybe around 10-15 seconds so the file is small.  iPhone ringtones are said to be 30 seconds or less.

4) Touch the arrow button in the box at the bottom and then touch “Email as iPhone Ringtone”

5) Complete your email address, name the ringtone, and send.  Then, in a few minutes, check your email, download the file, and open iTunes.

6) Click on the icon with your iPhone in iTunes.  Then select the ringtones tab.  You should be able to see your custom ringtone here, click the box next to your ringtone to select, and click apply.  This will automatically start the sync process but if it does not, select sync.  If you do not see the file, select File then, “Add file to library” and locate your downloaded ringtone file.

7) Disconnect iPhone, use the Settings app and select “Sound.”  Scroll down to ringtone and select the “Custom” ringtone you created.  Your new ring tone should be listed and you can assign it to any thing you wish.  If it does not appear then it did not “sync” with your iPhone.

This was last completed on a iPhone OS version 4.1 and iTunes version 10.0.1

Keep in mind, this method takes more time that other methods but it should be somewhat simple to complete for the average user.  Just updating your software can take 15 minutes or longer and when you sync your iPhone it may take hours depending on the amount of media you need to transfer.  Apple does not help to make this process fast but it does work.

Photos should be taken in the best display resolution available.  You can always make the resolution smaller but you can’t capture the exact photo again in a higher resolution.  The reason why a photo should be sized correctly is so people can see it or load it quickly.  A web photo on Facebook would be sized smaller than a poster image.  As an example photos on the web should normally be smaller than images sized for printed posters.

Think of everything in sensors.  Sensors capture the image and the image is converted into pixels.  The more pixels in the image the higher the resolution. This image originally had dimensions of: 1752 × 2302 sensors but you are most likely seeing it live on the web in 233 x 300 pixels so it loads fast and does not take up the entire browser window.

Paris Tower Resolution Example

Example resolutions in your daily life:

• 300 x 600 IMU – (Half Page Ad)  This is an IAB standard size for the Web
• 1280 x 1024 The resolution on some computer screens.
• 2700×1800 Minimum “DPI suggested from Snapfish” for a printed 20″ x 30″ poster.
• 6120 × 4500 IMAX actually discernible pixels.

Megapixel or MP (1 million pixels) is just a number created by multiplying these two numbers.  So 20000 x 15000 would be 300000000 or “300 Megapixels.” If an image was taken in 300 MP then it must have 300000000 pixels in the image.

When printing an image DPI is just “dots per square inch” which could be understood as pixels per square inch or the resolution used on the page.

When a photographer or videographer takes images or video of your event, product, or person be sure to receive the best resolution available or hopefully the resolution it was taken in so that you can make crisp large prints.  Images can always be made smaller so that you can email them or upload them for your friends but you can never make them larger in the same great resolution.

To see the resolution on most computers just look at the general file properties of the image.  Average windows users can right click on the file, go to properties, and see the resolution.  Please let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions about the resolution or size of an image.

Special thanks to WSR Creative’s Jose Delgado for his help with some great resolution video work this last year.

Charlie Hunter is Unique

Charlie Hunter like some many other guitar players is able to perform different parts at the same time.  Another famous guitar player that can do this include Stanley Jordan.  Bother musicians have their own techniques and style.  Also both musicians customize their guitars in unique ways so they can perform their multi-part solos easier.  Please take a look at these videos and try listening to the bass, comping, and solos all at the same time from the same musician.
