I’ve had chronic sinus inflammation for 3 years, I’ve had surgery for that and have tried everything else. Now I have found Miracle Mineral Supplement on the internet and that seems like something. Could that help me?

Miracle mineral supplement (MMS) is a quack ointment product. These are bottles of bleach that are supposed to cure all kinds of ailments, including cancer, AIDS, and malaria.
Bleach is indeed a good disinfectant for the sink and toilet because it releases highly reactive oxygen radicals. However, it is already not suitable for disinfecting the hands, because it reacts with all forms of organic material. So it reacts just as hard with your hands as it does with the bacteria on it. You would have to ‘eat’ your hands all the way to get them sterile.
The idea that you could fight pathogens from your body by drinking it diluted or even infusing it into the circulation – as you can see in obscure videos on Youtube.com – is downright ridiculous. Chronic sinus infections can be very persistent and annoying, but such a remedy will not help you. I hope you don’t smoke, because in that case, the first thing you can do is to stop smoking. Smoking paralyzes the cilia that clean the sinuses.
