About 4 years ago I have gotten a strange ear infection, which would hurt slightly, and the skin in my ears would flake a bit, but no other symptoms. For the longest time I did not know what it was, meanwhile the infection got worst, and started to bother me a lot more. Doctors told me it is all in my imagination. Then I started to have sinus headaches, only I did not know that at the time, since I never before had a sinus infection or headache. When a strange orange mucus started coming out of my nose, I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and given ten days of antibiotics. This cleared up the mucus but I still felt all of my old symptoms. I was told that it will go away. It did not. It started to get worst again. And again I have got antibiotics. Now for six weeks. I took the pills until my ears started to ring, but the symptoms did not go away. This repeated several times. I have visited an ENT three times. I have got a CAT scan, they did not find anything except a slightly deviated septum which they offered to correct surgically. I a have spent a lot of $$$ on doctor visits, with no results. Eventually my life became one big non stop sinus infection. The smell was the most bothersome. Sinus headaches are as bad as migraines.

Now after 4 years, and a lot of research, I know, from reading the works of reputable medical professionals, that a chronic sinus infection is fungal in 90% of the cases. This is why antibiotics never worked.

Since I could not convince my doctor to treat me for a fungal infection, even though at this time I had fungal infection all over my ears and even on my face I have decided to try boric acid.

I have used 1 teaspoon of boric acid for 250mL of water and added 1/4 teaspoon of KOSHER salt. I used a squizee bottle to wash my sinuses and ears with the solution. My infection was under control within a week. I washed my sinuses for two weeks twice a day, and for two weeks once a day. Now I am using it once a week.

You got to be careful not to swallow any of the liquid, and to drink a lot of water to remove any boric acid which gets in. But otherwise this has been a pain free and completely successful treatment. It will work for bacterial infections too, since boric acid is an all around antiseptic.

For me this stuff was a life saver. Good stuff. Tried and tested for medical use.

PS. I am definitely changing my doctor, 4 years without a proper diagnosis is way too much.

I'm very into natural and alternative methods but sometimes they don't work as quickly as over the counter methods. I've tried ALL of the natural methods for yeast infections (garlic, acidophilus, tea trea oil, etc) and they provide only short term relief. This one is amazing. At the first sign of a yeast infection I insert one capsule (remember, it's just the powder so you have to fill your own capsule) at bedtime and have much relief by morning. I do this for a few days and then the symptoms are gone. I do it in the morning too if symptoms warrant it. It is messy so you'll need to wear a pad.

This was recommended to me by my Doctor for female issues. It seems that there are so many different benefits to Boric Acid. I couldn't live with out this product. It seems that many old time products work better then new ones. It was surprising to me that it kills cockroaches. I have used it for years.
