Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / July 2004GSE, Sinusitis & Polyps
Well, I've just had surgery for the second time to have polyps removed from my sinuses. It feels like someone beat me up, from the inside out. I do not want to have to do this again... So I am looking for something that might help. I am looking forward to Grossan's new book, which as of this morning is not out yet. In the meantime, I am trying to learn all I can. I stumbled across this article this morning claiming that many cases of Sinusitis are fungus related. Not 10% like I first thought, but more like 96%. They also talked about patients who had surgery to remove nasal polyps, researchers found eosinophils (a type of white blood cell). This eosinophils irritates the membranes in the nose. So is the answer to get rid of this fungus to get rid of the irritation of the mucus membranes of the sinuses, to eliminate the formation of polyps? Wouldn't that be nice! :-) And is GSE the answer to that? http://www.herbalremedies.com/actomayclinm.html If anyone has any more information on this I'd love to hear about it.

"they discovered fungus in 96 percent of the patients' mucus" does not *necessarily* mean that the fungus caused the sinusitis. Which caused which may be an open question, or even of the fungus caused teh sinusitis. This company is trying to overinterpret a research study to sell their product.. Everyone jumps on that Mayo study. We have discussed it time and time again. But it has not led anywhere useful for most of those here who have tried its prescription..... >They also talked about patients who had surgery to remove nasal polyps, >researchers found eosinophils (a type of white blood cell).

What you read, esp in the news releases must be evaluated VERY carefully. All I can tell you is that at the nationla meeting scheldues in Sept there are about 10 different papers being presented as the cause of polyps. These are all experts, etc. Which one is right? We are still trying to figure it out. The answer is out there somewhere but until there is proof, follow your doctors advice. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com But I have to do something... this last surgery was not fun at all. I have to do something to keep inflamation, infection and polyps down. Here are some possibilities I am considering... 1) Sinus Buster, I tried a salt & cayanne solution,while I wait for my sinus buster to arrive, and it has some promise for shrinking and soothing my irritated linings 2) Flooding with a solution that includes hydrogen peroxide, haven't tried this yet 3) Nasal Spray with .1% GSE, this was harsh on my sinuses, and caused some swelling. But if it's fungus based, then we really need this, don't we? 4) Nasal Spray with Colloidal Silver, this would be for bacterial infections instead of antibiotics. So far this has been working, but I don't want to use it continuously because to the toxicity. 5) Your book, which is supposed to be out this week.
