Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / July 2004Root Cause of Sinusitis and polyps?
I've been looking for the root cause of MY sinus problems and polyps, and this morning I think I may have found it. I'm a woodworker and as such, I generate plenty of sawdust, some of which ends up in my nose. What happens to sawdust when you add over 50% humidity? Mold and fungus. So here, all this time I've been treating the symptoms, not the cause. So now I am coming up with a new plan, to get my diseased sinus tissue back to healthy tissue. I am going to try to reduce the inflammation, treat the bacterial infection, AND try to eliminate the source of the problem, mold and fungus. To do that I am going to use capsicum to reduce the swelling, colloidal silver instead of antibiotics to treat any bacterial/viral infection, and GSE to get rid of the root cause. But what I am really wondering is how many others out there are woodworkers, have spouses that are woodworkers, or are in an environment that has wood dust? Please write back and let me know! Thanks, Mike... If we agree, just for a moment, that the cause is wood mold/fungus, then how would you describe what happens when you drink distilled alcohol, drink beer (with yeast), eat homemade bread (with yeast). I think many of us are in agreement that doing any of the above can aggravate our sinusitis and cause a yellow discharge. What I don?t understand is how. Is it the sugar in the alcohol feeding the mold in our nose increasing the inflammation? Is it the yeast feeding the mold in our nose that causes the sinuses to swell up? Can anyone shed some more light on this subject?

If you control your own work environment, there is a very simple change that will make an enormous differerence - increase ventillation! Heat or cool the rest of the building and open a window wide open you if you can. >So here, all this time I've been treating the symptoms, not the cause. > >So now I am coming up with a new plan, to get my diseased sinus tissue >back to healthy tissue.

These are unlikely to be helpful. They are in the outright scam / obscure possibility category. >But what I am really wondering is how many others out there are >woodworkers, have spouses that are woodworkers, or are in an environment [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Mike... >>I've been looking for the root cause of MY sinus problems and polyps, and >>this morning I think I may have found it.

Not enough, because a woodworker keeps his face close to the wood he's working on. He should wear a respirator.  SignatureSteven D.

OK I agree then... >>>I've been looking for the root cause of MY sinus problems and polyps, and >>>this morning I think I may have found it. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >He should wear a respirator. Hello, Silly, silly. i hardly think Jesus wore a respirator. All he needs is a simple surgical mask or even at that, a wet bandana wrapped around his face would have been enough in the beginning. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6 > >>>I've been looking for the root cause of MY sinus problems and polyps, > and [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Silly, silly. i hardly think Jesus wore a respirator. Jesus had sinusitis?? Actually, back then I think they made more chips than dust. But the real question I had was, IF mold and fungus is the root cause of sinusitis and polyps, what is the treatment? What will make my sinuses healthy again? Mike... >Actually, back then I think they made more chips than dust. > >But the real question I had was, IF mold and fungus is the root cause of >sinusitis and polyps, what is the treatment? What will make my sinuses >healthy again? Eliminating or reducing the mold and fungus that you breathe.in. Probably nothing else will do it at this point because you have e sensitized to them.. I have the same issue with sensitivity to dust in my case. as a rule it is not the wood that offends the nose but the varuous paints and varnishes. yOu wash your hands after work, why not wash your nose? Simple saline lavage removes the paterial and pulsatile irrigation helps restore cilia function. If your hands were "sick" from the wood and varnish, would you first use drugs or first wash the hands?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Murray Grossan, M.D. > http://www.ent-consult.com Hello, Yes, rinse out the nose with a teaspoon on salt in a pint of water, after coming home from work. You can purchase the "saline" (actually salt in water) at a drug store under "Medic" (Saline Nasal Spray). After the bottle is empty make your own solution of the one teaspoon salt to one pint of water, then put it in the bottle and use gently. You must wash the nasal passage gently enough to not force any sawdust, bacteria, fungus etc. into the sinuses - be GENTLE with the wash/spray . . . Any time you use FORCE, into the nasal passage, you must be using a medication in the bottle, and should be doing it under the guidance of a DOCTOR only. The nose is a great thing that saves our sinuses and lungs, so donot abuse it - be gentle. However if you would just use a simple, surgical, face mask, which can be purchased at any medical, supply store (where you purchased Grandma's crutches) you wouldnot have so much to worry about. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6 Good luck, and may God be with you. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + > I've been looking for the root cause of MY sinus problems and polyps, and > this morning I think I may have found it.

And as soon as you're ready to leave work, change your clothes so that you're not tracking sawdust into your house from your clothing. SignatureSteven D.
