I get sinus infections about once a year. Really painful, have traditionally broken down and called my PCP for an antibiotic, which does work. Last two times I took that MMS stuff (I think this is the "bleach" people were making fun of Trump about). On both occasions about two days in, my nose started running like a faucet for about a day, and then no more sinus infection. I am pretty encouraged. I don't want to take antibiotics if I don't have to. FYI I was taking supplements as well - the usual vitamin c, magnesium zinc calcium, D3, etc. I take those all the time though.
For those that have never heard of MMS here's a link to the Jim Humble book. Read through the reviews for basic info if interested:
I am relieved you are cured, but I suggest you may want to avoid this « Snake Oil » from now on as it seems to be quite controversial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement
IDK that's what they say about Ivermectin, no? Usual suspects. Here is a refute from Jordan Sather with some interesting links:

Yes, and tbh, many things that they bring to market for humans have been used on horses for years. All of those MSM and glucosamine and other joint supplements were, cortisol injections in joints, stem cell treatments to help heal tendons (stem cells are taken from the bone in the horse), various electro and electro-magnetic treatments, acupuncture, chiropractic, and more. And a lot of the old stuff is still used, like pine tar and ichthamol, vinegar, etc. For good treatment, some people use MMS/chlorine dioxide (though usually that’s still not getting to the source of the problem, though I digress). The race horse industry drives a lot of studies on this stuff. And lots of money is involved.
I am convinced that they make better medicines for animals, especially horses that most wealthy people pay a lot of money to have, then they do people. I mean think of somebody who owns a thoroughbred. Do you think they're going to put bad medicine into an expensive animal like that? Several years ago I read somewhere that if you got pink eye you should go get the stuff from the pet store that they put into fish tanks. I went and got some and I washed my eye with it several times throughout the day, and I got rid of my pink eye within 24 hours. I swear by the horse paste ivermectin. I am basically starting to swear by animal medicine as opposed to Pharmaceuticals made for people.
I tend to agree. Though race horse owners still tend to pharm their horses up. But there still seems to be better access to a broad range of treatments for animals. And I always had veterinarians for my horses tell us not to vaccinate sick and elderly horses because their systems can’t handle it. Or if they needed to get them (which most do not anyway— mine were much healthier once I took them off of all of the shots they wanted to give them. Plus they got ivermectin monthly), spread them really far out. But it seems like they’re coming for the animals now too— especially our food.
