Hi!

Its been years since I have posted here. I did not know that Google
took over the Newsgroups and thought they were just a part of internet
history. A while back I visited Dr. Grossan's website and looked for a
link to see if the group was still around but couldn't find one. And
now, by sheer coincidence of being invited to join an unrelated group,
I have found it again.

I see some of the same names, especially Steven L and Dr. Grossan. I
haven't posted since 2002/3. I still owe my life to you Dr.Grossan
when you took a phone call from my Infectious Disease doctor in NY who
was trying to help me cure a pseudomonas sinus infection and explained
to him how to treat it using Gentamycin in the saline irrigation. I
have been practically sinus infection disease free since that time,
which is why I no longer posted.

Steven, I was looking back in the archives and re-read many of our
posts to each other. You also were using the gentamycin irrigation
back then but were not having as good results as I did. How are you
faring nowdays?

Best Regards to all,

I stopped the gentamicin irrigation after the Cleveland Clinic found
that some patients were getting systemic side effects from it.  They no
longer recommend gentamicin irrigation.

Steven,
That's interesting becasue when I used the genta irrigation I was
still working in the hospital laboratory and ran toxicology routinely.
So I asked co-workers to draw my blood and tested it for genta levels
every three days for the entire 20 days I was on it since I was
concerned about toxicity and side effects. My serum genta level was
always undetectable. I fowarded all the results to Dr, Grossan for his
research to help him prove that his method, when done correctly, was
totally safe and effective.

When i read the old posts I saw that you weren't using the water-pik,
but a squeeze bottle, since your doctor had prescibed the genta for
you in a different dosage than what Dr. Grossan recomends.

But that was all so many years ago. How are you now?

Nadine
