It did appear.if it is the one below.   I replied to it too.  If you cannot
post another article, please email it to me and I will post it for you.

I thenk this is an important discussion - please continue posting for the
benefit  everyone.

AOL probably not great for newsgroups.  What you could do it subscribe to
giganews.com at the cheapest rate and use a decent newsreader such as
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/ .

Then things would be sooo much easier for you...

Or maybe someone here who uses AOL could help him?

Thanks!

Don

I will try to give enough info in this post to get a discussion going. We
can deal with one or two issues at a time or it will get too involved.
Probably the most important issue is that of BKC, the preservative. In a
recent article in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Sugery-Jan 2004 a review of
the scientific (and I stress scientific) literature was conducted. 18 BKC
studies were reviewed buy ENT physicians/researchers from the U of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center.
Conclusion: "Intranasal products containing the preservative BKC appear to
be safe and well tolerated for both long- and short-term clinical use."
I know that there are concerns regarding this but to categorically make
statements regarding BKC being toxic are unfounded in the literature.
Next is the issue on how it works. Current thinking in the ENT community
regarding sinusitis is that it is most likely an inflamatory condition
rather than just infectious. The inflamation in some people is due to, not
just the presence but the concentration of micro-organisms (including
mold). In these patients, this presence causes the facial pressure/pain,
headaches, dry (not wet) congestion and post-nasal drip. SinoFresh was
designed to reduce this concentration to manageable levels so that the
tissue can return to it's normal state thereby reducing/eliminating the
symptoms. The results are typically seen in 5-7 days.
The antiseptic (active) has been in use for 50-60 years with an excellent
safey profile.
I will leave it there for now and will try to contribute on a daily basis
(M-F). We can deal with one or two issues at a time if there is any
interest. I will usually respond by referring to our clinical
observations, literature references or current Medical thinking.
Thanks for letting me contribute,
Bill
