Great tale of caution!
If you have sinus issues, I would suggest the use of a neti pot, instead of snorting saline solution. Same thing, however one is a daily yogic practice which cleanses, and the other is a bit more brutal. They both have the same effectiveness in removing mucus, however the later method causes increased inflammatory reaction, which is detrimental to what you are trying to do!
I will do. Thanks Armagdn03.
I found this additional information on the use of Neti Pot solutions used for nasal irrigation
<quote from wikipedia>
While nasal irrigation can be carried out using ordinary tap water, this is NOT safe (See Warning) and additionally can be uncomfortable because it irritates the mucous membranes. Therefore an isotonic or hypertonic salt water solution is normally used, i.e. water with enough salt to match the tonicity of the body cells and blood. For the same reason, lukewarm water is preferred over cold water, which in addition to irritating nasal membranes can also exaggerate the gag reflex during irrigation. Use of distilled, sterile or previously boiled and cooled water over ordinary tap water is advised. Tap water safe for drinking is not necessarily safe for nasal irrigation due to risk of rare but fatal brain infection. A small amount of baking soda is sometimes employed as a buffering agent to adjust the pH of the irrigating solution to that of the body.
Many pharmacies stock pre-manufactured sachets of pharmaceutical grade salt and baking soda designed to be used with the volume of water their corresponding device uses. Sometimes manufactured solutions such as a lactated Ringer's solution is used.
Optional additives include xylitol which is claimed to draw water into the sinus regions and helps displace bacteria.[33] Xylitol is commonly used to prevent acute otitis media in Europe and dental caries in the United States,[34] but research into xylitol use in the sinus cavities is lacking. Another nasal irrigation additive is aloe extract, which helps to prevent nasal dryness.[citation needed] Sodium citrate and citric acid help not only to balance the pH, also helps to improve the sense of smell.[citation needed] As noted above, in December 2011, the Louisiana state health department reported 2 deaths from Naegleria fowleri in which the use of contaminated tap water for nasal irrigation was strongly implicated.

Also useful is to have a portable ultrasonic nebulizer they have become pretty cheap lately (26$ on ebay). This will allow you to get any sort of health substance directly into your lungs more easily. In your case you might also take a look at colloidal silver for your lung infection. And from here on I would suggest you OD on the heavy metals chelating agents you posted. And perhaps you should look into some sort of test or blood analysis that measures the heavy metal content in your body so you have a reference point for a later test after the therapy.
Interesting. Had not even heard of a ultrasonic nebulizer. Thanks for that suggestion broli.
I've been wanting to make my own colloidal silver for some time now and I'm going to get moving on that project now. Another product that i meant to mention that i'm currently taking for cleansing, is called UMAC-Core Marine phytoplankton (chlorella, spirulina,blue-green,red) contains several different species. I agree that my job is just beginning with regard to treating the toxicity i've allowed into my body.
Thank you both for your input.
I appreciate it very much.
I do miss the west coast for it beauty and ocean.
