Irrigate the Nose! How George Eby Removed Intranasal Zinc Gluconate coldcure.com

WARNING! While in extreme excitement and pain, there is a risk of choking and drowning from this procedure, even though it is in world-wide use to treat sinusitis and nasal problems! You must remain calm. Call 911 and/or your physician for medical advise!

To avoid drowning, I lowered my head forward over a kitchen basin so that my chin was higher than my forehead, which made me feel that I was standing on my head.
I cupped my hands and caught a stream of warm, running tap water and carefully and calmly snorted it up into my nose in an attempt to remove the zinc gluconate, while being extremely careful to not suck it into my lungs.
I expelled the water through my nose, but probably (harmlessly) swallowed a bit of it.
I repeated the irrigation process about one-half dozen times but did not have any immediate reduction in pain.
However, I did not develop anosmia (permanent loss of sense of smell).
If this home procedure is incorrectly done (i.e., standing upright), one can drown from water inhaled into the lungs. I kept my head in this down position until all water was out of my nose to prevent choking and drowning. Nasal irrigation is a procedure that my physician had previously taught me, and that I was able to teach my 3-year old child for the treatment of sinusitis and nasal problems prior to discovering zinc gluconate lozenges for colds.
