Why on earth would they do that? Can't you get pickling salt? Main reason to use non iodized salt is that some persons are sensitive to this or the anticaking chemicals they use. But if you aren't sensitive to these , regular salt NOT SEA SALT - is fine. Nasal polyps are polyps you can see in the nose. Sinus polyps usually can't be seen except by X ray. But both have the exact same etiology and physiology so its common to SEE nasal polyps that block your breatheing, etc and not see the ones within the sinuses that are asymptomatic. > in surgery there is risk according to uk doctors one out of 200 >surgeries r complicated .may be they mean loss of eye etc. so there is >lot of risk too as one need to go for surgery number of time ... I do see that number quoted but I think that it would be *much" lower if you use a very experienced sinus surgeon. >" so what must be the best statergy to fight with these polyps " .. > >one more thing indian govt. banned use of non -iodiesed salt... so can >i use iodised salt for nasal irrigation ? Sure - it makes little difference. due to some dieases like " thypoid " some throat dieases can be controlled by iodiesed salt only . so if govt. instructed all salt sellers to mix iodine in salt as its good for health ./.... but can someone guess what will be the percentage of peoples with sinus polyps out of peoples with nasal polyps.What is the percentage of risk that peoples suffering with nussle polyps can develop sinus polyps too . does nasal polyps surgery reduces the risk of occurance of sinus polyps . "peoples i know personally did not opt surgery and use antibiotics/homeopathic medicines occationally when sinus/polyps bother them badly " >due to some dieases like " thypoid " some throat dieases can be >controlled by iodiesed salt only . so if govt. instructed all salt >sellers to mix iodine in salt as its good for health ./.... Many countries do indeed require by law that iodine be added to table salt to help prevent iodine-deficiency goiter, or hyperthyroidism, in areas where the soil, and therefore foods grown in it, is/are lacking in iodine. However, the wisdom of force-feeding iodine to the whole population is often questioned, especially now that people eat food from all over the world and are no longer at much risk of iodine deficiency. The practise if adding iodine is suspected to be a major cause of hypothroidism, especially given the massive overdoses of salt (and therefore iodine) consumed in many diets. I am allergic to Iodine. I have had a thyroid scan and a biopsy of my gland. I cannot eat shell fish either. no vitamins with Iodine in them. I am not Iodine deficient according to my Endocrine doctor. He specializes in care of the thyroid gland. shirley On 7/2/05 12:46 PM, in article 1120333611.370066.95810@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, "Ankur" <ankurarora17@yahoo.co.in> wrote: > due to some dieases like " thypoid " some throat dieases can be > controlled by iodiesed salt only . so if govt. instructed all salt [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > antibiotics/homeopathic medicines occationally when sinus/polyps bother > them badly " Again its the same tissue so in most cases of nasal polyps there are some sinus polyps. |
