<p>******************  Yup. &nbsp;About 6 years ago&#44; turbinate reduction&#44; superflush&#44; extra drainage  holes drilled&#44; and a badly crooked septum straightened.  It hurt worse than anything I ever felt&#44; but I would do it again  tomorrow. &nbsp;I could breathe for the first time in 26 years! &nbsp;Recommend  making sure your doctor has done lots of these and had good results.  julie  &#8212;  ******************************************************  julie and jay  mccon&#8230;@owens.ridgecrest.ca.us  Definition:  Ethernet (n): something used to catch the etherbunny </p>

<p>Don&#8217;t know who your message was in reply to&#44; but my experience was as  follows:  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Minimal improvement sinus problems. &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Almost total loss of sense of smell.  The surgeon never even hinted that the latter was possible&#44; but evidently&#44; it&#8217;s  not that uncommon. &nbsp;And&#44; he insisted that my sense of smell would return. &nbsp;  It&#8217;s now 3 1/2 years post-op and no improvement. &nbsp;About the only thing I can  smell regularly is car exhaust&#44; but that doesn&#8217;t extend to other smoke. &nbsp;I&#8217;ve  nearly set the kitchen ablaze several times and I didn&#8217;t have a clue until the  smoke alarm went off. &nbsp;(Thank god for good batteries.) &nbsp;The only time I get  close to normal is the day before a cold or sinus infection starts&#8230; &nbsp;For a  moment I think I&#8217;m &quot;cured&quot;&#44; only to realize in an hour or so I&#8217;m just getting  sick.

<p>The exact thing happened to my father when he had sinus surgery.  Another thing to ask these guys before they start messing around there is  for specific information about what the chances are that what they&#8217;re  doing isn&#8217;t permanant. I&#8217;ve heard several stories&#44; and went through this  personally&#44; where they convince you the operation is a good idea. You go  through it&#44; and though it hurts&#44; you&#8217;re sure it&#8217;s for the best. Then&#44;  they let you know that it may seem great at first&#44; but that there&#8217;s a  tendancy for the turbinets to grow back&#44; the scar tissue to recur&#44; and  for openings they may have made to close back up. Gee thanks for telling  me NOW!! <img src='http://sinusitisfaq.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':-|' class='wp-smiley' />   &#8211; Hide quoted text &#8212; Show quoted text -&gt; Don&#8217;t know who your message was in reply to&#44; but my experience was as  &gt; follows:  &gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Minimal improvement sinus problems.  &gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Almost total loss of sense of smell.  </p>

<p>Did you have endoscopic surgery? &nbsp;Irecently had it and did not have  this problem at all. &nbsp;Although my tissues are still healing&#44; I have  noticed a fairly significant improvement in my ease of breathing  through both nostrils and in how clear my sinuses feel. &nbsp;The real test  will be during the hay fever season though&#8230;  I will try to answer any other questions the original poster had  (although you might want to email me the question and I will post an  answer to the group as my newsfeed is not reliable for incoming  articles) </p>

<p>Hi&#44;  glad to meet a fellow Bostonian!  According to my allergist&#44; my chronic rhinitis (which triggers my  recurrent sinusitis) is due to the air pollution in the Boston area.  He says there is &quot;something in the environment&quot; here which is causing  a veritable epidemic of sinus disease in the Boston area&#44; but he has  no idea exactly what it is. &nbsp;From trial and error I have discovered  that particulates&#44; ozone and sulfur oxides in the air&#44; all cause me  problems. &nbsp;Have you noticed that after the bad winter we had&#44; and all  the salt and gravel they spread on the roads during the winter&#44;  whenever we get a windy day and the salt and gravel blows in your face  that it triggers respiratory problems?  I am so sensitive to this that if I drive outside the Route 128  beltway&#44; to more rural parts of Massachusetts or New Hampshire or  Vermont&#44; I feel *much* better. &nbsp;It&#8217;s only when I get back inside the  good old industrialized Route 128 beltway that I feel rotten (and  especially so in Boston itself).  I often travel on business and I have noticed how much better I feel  in a less polluted environment. &nbsp;It&#8217;s got nothing to do with the  climate&#44; it&#8217;s the pollution level in my case. &nbsp;For example&#44; I found  the Tampa-St. Petersburg area of Florida much easier on my respiratory  system. &nbsp;(But less than 20 minutes after I got off the plane at Logan  Airport in Boston&#44; my nose clogged right up again.)  As I have posted in other messages&#44; echinacea herb seems to work well  on my colds and acute sinusitis problems.  &#8212;  Steven D.

<p>With respect to magic cures&#8230; I&#8217;m thinking that a power drill might be the trick  for me&#8230; but in the mean time I have found three things that do keep my sinus  problems from becoming a full scale infection:  &nbsp; &nbsp; saline rinses  &nbsp; &nbsp; Sudafed (pseudophedrine hydrochloride)  &nbsp; &nbsp; Advil (ibuprofen) or Aspirin (A.S.A.)  The first two are essential&#44; the last one just seems to help the Sudafed shrink  things&#44; but I can live without it. &nbsp;Actifed also has the pseudo.. hydro.. but it  also has an antihistamine (sp?) and if your problems are not caused by allergies  you should probably just take Sudafed.  I asked a pharmacist about Sudafed and was told that it was not a problem to take  it long term but I have heard otherwise. &nbsp;Anyone know for sure? &nbsp;  By the way&#44; both Sudafed and Actifed are available in bottles of 100 which is is  a *much* cheaper way to get them. &nbsp;You can pick up a bottle of 100 (60mg  pseudo-hydro) tablets for $19 (Canadian)&#44; same for Sudafed. &nbsp;A lot of drug stores  don&#8217;t stock it this way &#8217;cause they can sell packages of 12 for $6.  I have tried all sorts of other things like antihistamines (Claritin et  al)&#44; vitamins&#44; garlic&#44; and every cold medicine known to man&#44; but the three things  above are the only things that make a difference for me.  -Tom </p>

<p>I had turbinate reduction done with no problems. &nbsp;No loss of sense of  smell and the turbinates didn&#8217;t grow back.  The loss of sense of smell results from damage to the olfactory bulb.  This occurs much more often if the surgeon is inexperienced in sinus  procedures. &nbsp;For this and other reasons&#44; I STRONGLY recommend using  a sinus surgeon who has done several hundred sinus surgeries before and  who has a good reputation for doing above-average work. &nbsp;The likelihood  of problems with sinus surgery ranges from about 0.1% to 10% or more  depending on who your surgeon is!!  Ask&#44; for example&#44; an allergist in your area who the best sinus surgeons  are.  Rick Donnelly  r&#8230;@netcom.com </p>

<p>My experience has been the polar opposite.  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Enormous improvement in sinus problems  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Able to smell for the first time in a decade.  There are risks to all surgery and the surgeon should fully discuss them  with you.  Only you can weigh the risks against the benefits. [But remember&#44; a full  disclosure from a physician is somewhat like the full disclosure prospectus  the Securities and Exchange Commission requires of stock offerings. It&#8217;s  likely to carry warnings that are highly unlikely but which have non-zero  probabilities. E.g.&#44; perhaps every surgery&#44; no matter how minor&#44; should  include a warning that death is a possible outcome &#8211; but in most cases  that shouldn&#8217;t deter you from having the procedure performed.

Wet heat&#44; Entex&#44; and Humibid all moisten things and increase drainage.  Atrovent dries things out. &nbsp;Why would you combine these? &nbsp;This seems  strange to me.  For several months after my last surgery&#44; I had multiple doctors all tell  me I had been opened up too much by the surgery and that I needed to  moisten things up. &nbsp;It didn&#8217;t help. &nbsp;I went to the southern California  desert for a few days on vacation and found I felt essentially pain-free  even without using any medication. &nbsp;Turns out my sinuses and nasal  passages were too wet&#44; not too dry. &nbsp;Atrovent seems to help with both  pain and fume sensitivity (others have reported this as well)&#44; though it  feels a bit harsh in my nasal passages and throat. &nbsp;So I discontinued it&#44;  went to Sears&#44; and bought a dehumidifier for about $250. &nbsp;It definitely  helps (and also helps cut down on mildew growth)&#44; though the jury is  still out on whether it will help a lot on cloudy days.  Try Atrovent by itself&#44; and if it seems to help you&#44; get a dehumidifier.  That&#8217;s what I would do if I were you. &nbsp;Give it a few days to work.  If the dehumidifier doesn&#8217;t help you&#44; just put it back in the box and  take it back for a refund.  (Of course&#44; you should check with your doctor before discontinuing any  medications. &nbsp;Some things&#44; like steroids&#44; can cause problems if suddenly  discontinued.)  Rick Donnelly  r&#8230;@netcom.com  (note &#8211; a dehumidifier is NOT a humidifier&#44; it&#8217;s the opposite! &nbsp;A  dehumidifier is a big box with a compressor&#44; evaporator and condenser  coils&#44; a fan&#44; and a drain pan that you empty every day. &nbsp;Chews up lots  of electricity&#44; too. &nbsp;:-( &nbsp;) </p>

<p>All &#8211;  I went to see an ENT who had me do a CAT scan and told me that my  turbinates  were swollen (hence why my left nostril is blocked 80% &#8211; 90% of the  time).  He also mentioned that I had a little swelling in my sinuses but  nothing  serious. &nbsp;He hence recommended turbinate reduction. &nbsp;Note that I have  tried  prescribed nose sprays for years with not much improvement.  I am going to get a second opinion but I just wanted to confirm that  this  sounds like &quot;normal&quot; diagnosis. &nbsp;I always also wondering if there are  folks  out here who have had the surgery done in the past and what their  results  were. &nbsp;From what he told me&#44; it didn&#8217;t seem like a big deal.  Thanks in advance for your responses.  ice </p>

<p>It sounds reasonable.  The main issue is that a few less-skilled doctors do excessive or careless  turbinate reductions which fail to spare the mucosa&#44; leading to problems later  on&#8230;.. </p>

<p>Yes I had it and other procedures done.  It certainly allows me to breathe much better through my nose and there has  been no downside.  My sinusitis is improving gradually too.  OI had one of the top sinus surgeons do it.  As I mentioned&#44; &nbsp;the issue is not does the procedure help &#8211; it certainly can.  The main issue is possible adverse results when it is done incorrectly  occasionally. &nbsp;Every single ENT is allowed to practise sinus surgery and skills  and experience do vary and can make a difference. </p>

<p>Allergy shots worked for me&#44; but they take a while. &nbsp;You may want to  consider allergy shots&#44; if you have not already tried them&#44; before  surgery. </p>

<h4><strong>Response:</strong></h4>
<p>After suffering with multiple sinus infections&#44; year after year&#44; for  decades&#44; I experimented with flooding my nasal passages with a mixture of  diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide&#44; baking soda and kosher salt. In order to flood  my nasal passages and keep them flooded&#44; I keep my forehead pointed  downward. I keep my forehead down for quite a while&#44; hoping that the  anti-infective mixture can get to the infected area(s) within my sinuses and  nasal passages.  .  It works! I have been sinus infection free for about 3 years. I think that I  had chronic infection problems with my turbinates&#44; so flooding my nasal  passages with the anti-infective mixture worked very well&#44; for me&#44; since the  infected areas were fairly easy to reach.  .  I have fully documented my experience and how I did it at Healthboards.com.  There are posts there by people who have tried my &quot;upside down sinus  flooding&quot; and have received either partial relief or total relief. There are  also posts there from those who it hasn&#8217;t helped&#44; and by those who don&#8217;t  think that it is a good idea. I have no connection at all with Healthboards.  I use it because I consider it to be the best facility for discussing health  problems on the Internet.  .

<p>Yes. &nbsp;In fact&#44; for me those are the exact symptoms of an acute sinus  infection: &nbsp;Strange odor; yellow-green post nasal drip.  If neither the amoxicillin nor the Biaxin had any effect at all&#44; then it  means that the infection is probably resistant to those two. &nbsp;Did your  ENT attempt to take a culture of some of the pus that was oozing out of  your sinuses?  If you seemed to show some improvement on either the amoxicillin or the  Biaxin&#44; then you may not have taken them for a long enough period of  time to completely eradicate the infection. &nbsp;Sinus infections are very  stubborn. &nbsp;Once the right antibiotic is found&#44; you often need to take it  for three weeks&#8211;or even longer. &nbsp;One week of any antibiotic is rarely  enough to cure a stubborn sinus infection.  There are other antibiotics to try. &nbsp;My ENT swears by Levaquin and Avelox.  Let us know how things turn out with you.  &#8212;  Steven D.

<p>I am so happy to hear that this &quot;smell in my nose&quot; that I am experiencing  goes along with a sinus infection..this is the first really long lasting  infection I have ever had and the odd smell really concerned  me&#8230;hopefully my ENT will prescribe some strong acting antibiotics as  soon as she lets me know how my CTA scan went.. &nbsp;My GP refused to have me  take antibiotics longer than 2 weeks&#44; stating that that was long enough to  take care of the infection..guess she has some things to learn about sinus  infections. &nbsp;Thanks for all the encouragement.. </p>

<p>Print this web page out and show it to your doctor(s):  &quot;Antibiotic penetration into the sinuses is typically relatively poor&#44;  comparable to osteomyelitis. As a result&#44; treatment generally must  continue for at least two weeks in acute sinusitis and at least three  weeks in chronic sinusitis. Six to eight weeks of treatment is not unusual.&quot;  http://www.sinuses.com/md.htm  &#8212;  Steven D.

<p>I have this smell in my sinuses alot of the time too. My ENT said this  is normal for someone with my condition. I&#8217;m not really sure what he  meant by that though. My Allergist recently had me try a 4 week course  of amoxacillan and then a 2 week course of tequin. Neither of them  seemed to do anygood unfortunatly. We are continueing to do the  allergy shots still. I may ask her about trying a stronger antibiotic  when we review my new CT scans. So far my alergist has been the most  helpful&#8230;.My ENT has been little help at all.  &#8211; Hide quoted text &#8212; Show quoted text -&quot;tweetyc200&quot; &lt;tweetyc&#8230;@hotmail.com&gt; wrote in message &lt;news:f89e309a0e33cd472b930f13c9495072@localhost.talkaboutsupport.com&gt;&#8230;  &gt; I am so happy to hear that this &quot;smell in my nose&quot; that I am experiencing  &gt; goes along with a sinus infection..this is the first really long lasting  &gt; infection I have ever had and the odd smell really concerned  &gt; me&#8230;hopefully my ENT will prescribe some strong acting antibiotics as  &gt; soon as she lets me know how my CTA scan went.. &nbsp;My GP refused to have me  &gt; take antibiotics longer than 2 weeks&#44; stating that that was long enough to  &gt; take care of the infection..guess she has some things to learn about sinus  &gt; infections. &nbsp;Thanks for all the encouragement..  </p>

<p>sounds like postnasal drip.  the reason the antibiotic may not work is that the cliia are not doing their  job and not movng he bacteria out of the nose.  see ent-consult for some suggestions.  Murray Grossan&#44; M.D.  http://www.ent-consult.com </p>
</p>
<h4><strong>Response:</strong></h4>
<p>postnasal drip is not a sinus infecton. Antibiotics is not the treatment of  choice. See www.ent-consult.com re getting the clia moving to clear this up.  I am surprised no one else spoke of this.  Murray Grossan&#44; M.D.  http://www.ent-consult.com </p>

<h4><strong>Response:</strong></h4>
<p>Six to eight weeks of treatment is not unusual.&quot;  that&#8217;s when you don&#8217;t add irrigation to the treatment. In our 5 person ENT  group&#44; we rarely use antibiotic 6 weeks becuase we irrigate out the bacteria  and restore the cilia movement .  Murray Grossan&#44; M.D.  http://www.ent-consult.com </p>
</p>
<h4><strong>Response:</strong></h4>
<p>I continue to use you irrigator daily at the request of my doctors for  the last year and half. I have not seen any benefit in it easing my  symptoms yet.  &#8211; Hide quoted text &#8212; Show quoted text -entcons&#8230;@aol.comnospam (ENTconsult) wrote in message &lt;news:20040829025447.12238.00004655@mb-m01.aol.com&gt;&#8230;  &gt; postnasal drip is not a sinus infecton.

<p>recommend you ask your doctor about measures to increase mucociliary clearance.  If the cilia sweep the bacteria out of the nose&#44; the smell goes away.  Murray Grossan&#44; M.D.  http://www.ent-consult.com </p>

<p>It is important to find out why this isn&#8217;t clearing you up.  Murray Grossan&#44; M.D.  http://www.ent-consult.com </p>
</p>
<h4><strong>Response:</strong></h4>
<p>I agree. My Allergist and I just looked at more recent CT scans and  she said that there was less signs of mucus in the films this time but  I continue to experience problems still. </p>
</p>
<h4><strong>Response:</strong></h4>
<p>I have always had that weird odor with infection also. I don&#8217;t however have  sort of sense of smell for five years now unless I am on heavy prednisone.  Your CT Scan will tell what is going on&#8230;hopefully. Trudy. </p>

<p>&lt;&lt; I haven&#8217;t added peroxide to the mix yet&#44; &gt;&gt;  I don&#8217;t blame you. With your problems&#44; and sensitive sinuses&#44; the peroxide  would probably strongly sting and irritate your nasal passages. The  combination of the peroxide and the baking soda makes a very potent  anti-infective&#44; IMHO.  &lt;&lt; and I wholly believe in the upside treatment as it seems a great way to  reach the ethmoids and frontals. My ENT turned me on to that&#44; along with  this weird rolling of my upper body side to side to reach the maxillaries.   I&#8217;ve seen pictures of the &quot;normal&quot; pathway into the maxillary sinuses. It  goes up towards the ethmoid sinuses and then down into the maxillary&#44; kinda  like an upside down V. Makes it difficult to get stuff in&#44; or out of&#44; I  would imagine. Probably why your ENT has you do a rolling technique.  What is the &quot;weird&quot; rolling? How do you do it?  About your unfortunate encounter with Pamdomania&#8230;&#8230; On the Internet there  are many opportunists and those with mental problems. Some &quot;so-called&quot;  solutions from these weirdos can actually be dangerous. In fact&#44; I think  that some of what Pamdomania &quot;suggested&quot; were actually intended to cause  harm to others. His website is filled with hate towards others&#44; so it makes  sense that what he would suggest that others do&#44; would intend to harm  instead of &nbsp;heal.  His next move would be to come back under another nickname. </p>

<p>This regimen sounds like a signature treatment of my ENT (esp. the  Dexamethasone). &nbsp;It works. </p>

<p>I put the solution into one nostril with my head back&#44; I then hold both  nostrils closed. I lean as far to left as I can with my head tilted  sideways&#44; the roll slowly to the back letting the solution travel through&#44;  keep rolling and lean as far to the right as I can&#44; then forward over the  sink and let go of my nose. I repeat each side three times and then gently  blow my nose into the sink. I can feel the fluid travelling throughout it  seems to flush the whole sysem. (The best part was having Dr. Lanza  demonstrate this to me though.) I use the dexamethasone with the upside  down for five minutes stance and I can feel it seeping into the frontals  and ethmoids which is where I need it. I tried the laying on the bed with  head down position but this was uncomfortable so now I put the drops in  and lean way over holding onto a chair until I am completely upside down.  Dr. Lanza said studies found five full minutes work best. &nbsp; </p>

<p>(esp. the Dexamethasone).It works.&quot;  I agree. And if it works and is a sound practice I will go for it. At  first my pharmacist couldn&#8217;t understand why I was go to put an  opthamological solution into my sinus but after speaking with Lanza he  ordered me some. I live in a very small town with a very small pharmacy so  he never heard of this! It stung the first few times I used it but that  went away. </p>

<p>Quick question:  The nasal washes with Saline (breethe ez) make me more congested (anyone  have any ideas here?)&#44; but the flonase or nasonex help. I don&#8217;t get  infections. Do you all think doing a wash with Dexamethasone as you all  describe would help?  Thanks!!!!! </p>

<p>Hello&#44;  If you donot get &quot;infections&quot;&#44; what then is it you do get?  Dexamethasone is just another steroid that shortens your life&#44;  thins out your bones&#44; causes high blood pressure and makes you  fat&#44; so why would you want it.

<p>Hello&#44;  We know a lot about Candida in the  vagina&#44; and are now just starting to  learn about it in the nose/sinuses:  Here are examples of things i wish  to think about until i am finished  or comfortable with my Amphotericin B  wash (i still have over 2 months to go)&#44;  as to how to safetly get acidophilus  into the nose&#44; as some sufferers have  been discussing without shoving the  bacteria and fungus ever deeper into  the head&#44; and ever closer and closer  toward the eyes and brain.  You soon learn&#44; in a hurry what  really works; no questions asked; no  holds barred&#44; when you are presented  with an emergency as was i. I was in  such dire straits i even blindly  (blinded with pain that is) let Doc  send me to the hospital for blood  work&#44; where i gasped with unbearably  sharp pain every time i sat down.  Doc had given me an anti-biotic for  something (long forgotten)&#44; and after  taking it for a while&#44; i began to get  colon distress &#8211; i knew what it was&#44;  so i stopped the anti-biotic&#44; and  began taking the best of the best  acidophilus&#44; which i purchased at the  Health Food Store. I had previously  taken this stuff for years&#44; however&#44;  for some unknown reason had  stopped. The best&#44; most widely  touted&#44; most expensive&#44; packaged  acidophilus on the market didnot  help; i fled terrorized to the Doc; she  sent me for blood work; while there i  knew it was idiocy&#44; so began raking  my brain &#8211; what little was still  working&#44; and came up with the  realization&#44; i should be using the  </p>

<p>&quot;The truth&quot; is that posting to totally irrelevant newsgroups about  sinus problems is counterproductive to our discussions. </p>

<p>I have to agree. &nbsp;  Little damage has been done yet in this case&#44; &nbsp;so I think it will be ok  (assuming that is the end of it).  This is a support group&#44; &nbsp;so I hope people can take that into account and be a  little more careful than in other newsgroups where all sorts of clowning around  is often completely &nbsp;the norm.  Actually the original poster is making good on-topic posts here in general  &#8230;&#8230;. </p>

<p>Hello&#44;  Why would you want to deny this information to our  Grandparents and military retired? Do you hate old  people or just think they have no need for help for  their head pain? This fungus thingy is brand new and  our aged people donot know about it&#44; therefore the  only way they are going to find out about it is if  we tell them and invite them to join in here at  news:alt.support.sinusitis. You people are being  cruel and selfish by not revealing our knowledge  to those that need it so badly. Really&#44; some of  these people nearly died for your freedom&#44; and now  you donot want them to know about what could cure their  head pain &#8211; you all are sick sick sick selfish sick as  far as i am concerned . . . Every single person in here  should cross/post to a different group that you may feel  could benefit&#44; but&#44; no&#44; you are too lazy and self- centered.  PS: The vinegar does the same thing the gentian violet does&#44;  except it doesnot make you all purple &#8211; just makes you stink&#44;  and you can drink it too&#44; to get the little albacan suckers  that wind up in your crotch/butt . . .  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  MustRead! &nbsp;http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM  &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge&quot; Hosea 4:6  ___________________________________________________________________________ ____  Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com &#8211; Accounts Starting At $6.95 &#8211; http://www.uncensored-news.com  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; &nbsp; The Worlds Uncensored News Source &nbsp; &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; </p>

<p>Hello&#44; Knob&#44;  The &quot;lips&quot; happened&#44; as you can see by reading my other posts&#44; the  evening of the surgery and:  thank you for following along here in this group.

Lay on a bed face up with the head hanging over the edge of the  mattress so the nostrils are  pointing straight up toward the ceiling.  b. Use an eye dropper to fill each nostril with the rinse solution.  Keep filling each nostril until  the rinse solution starts to drip in the throat. Remain in the same  position for 2 to 3 minutes.  c. Roll over on the stomach and let the head flop forward over the  edge of the mattress. Remain  in that position for 2 to 3 minutes then sit up and let the rinse  drain out through the nose.  (THIS FOLLOWING DOESNOT APPLY TO US AT THE PRESENT AND/OR UNTIL AN  ACTUAL &quot;WASH&quot; IS MADE AVAILABLE)  d. Important: Repeat this procedure 45 minutes later. The two rinses  45 minutes apart constitute  a single rinse session. Perform two or more such rinse sessions per  day. Relief will typically be  noticeable by the second day. It is not unusual for the sinus  infection to be gone within three  days.  e. Repeat two sessions per day until the infection subsides. Very  persistent infections may  require five to seven day or more.  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  Amphotericin B deoxycholate nasal spray/wash is shipped in a cold pack  and must be kept  refrigerated.

It is nice to know if you  absolutely must put your life at risk with Amphotericin B&#44; you can  quickly get off of it :  &quot;Surgical treatment is mandatory. Initiate medical treatment with  systemic antifungals once  invasion is diagnosed. Amphotericin B (2 g/d) is recommended; this can  be replaced by  ketoconazole or itraconazole once the disease is under control&quot;.  AND AGAIN:  &quot;Acute invasive fungal sinusitis  Emergent treatment is necessary once this condition is suspected.  Initiate systemic antifungal  treatment after surgical debridement. High doses of amphotericin B  (1-1.5 mg/kg/d) are  recommended. Oral itraconazole (400 mg/d) can replace amphotericin B  once the acute stage  has passed. Treatment of the underlying immune deficiency&#44; if  possible&#44; is desirable.&quot;  Picture of chronic sinusitis:  http://www.med.sc.edu:1000/chronicsinusitis.htm  A tour of the nose and sinuses:  Virtual Sinus Laboratory  http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/sinus/lab.cfm  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  This&#44; Knob&#44; is my Sig; where is yours?: &nbsp;  MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM  &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge&quot; Hosea 4:6  Good luck&#44; and may God be with you.  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  &quot;TROLL ALERT&quot;  Psycho troll&#44; &quot;Harry&quot; at: ha&#8230;@leavemealone.com  Kidnaps nearly every one of my  posts for the purpose of bombing  them with libel&#44; down-right lies  and obscene smut&#44; so please DoNot  Feed The Troll.

<p>Hello&#44;  I happen to have a good ENT surgeon &#8211; he isnot a &quot;clinic&quot;  nor anything of that nature &#8211; he is just a Doctor.  With my surgery this time in the operating room&#44; he was  able to work on the yeast. Then i found out about the new  diecovery coming out of the Mayo Clinic&#44; and told him i  wanted to try it; he finally let me&#44; and i am on my first  month. Remember this is new and no one has even heard about  it yet&#44; so you are on your own. I am going to give you some  must reading&#44; and in there is the drug store you can send  for the medication (Amphotericin B nasal&#44; lavage wash)&#44; or  you can get the spray &#8211; next month i may switch to the spray&#44;  because you have to be on this for 3 months&#44; and this &quot;wash&quot;  is a bloomin mess and a half:  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  MustRead! &nbsp;http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM  &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge&quot; Hosea 4:6  ___________________________________________________________________________ ____  Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com &#8211; Accounts Starting At $6.95 &#8211; http://www.uncensored-news.com  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; &nbsp; The Worlds Uncensored News Source &nbsp; &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; </p>

Occasionally the fungi may invade the mucous membranes and provoke  intense inflammation  and allergic response. Even more rarely the fungi may invade the bones  of the facial skeleton  and damage blood vessels and nerves&#44; even extending to the eye and  brain (Mucormycosis)  Continued at:  http://www.medicdirect.co.uk/clinics/default.ihtml?step=4&#038;pid=1733.  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  Researchers  at the Mayo Clinic found fungi in 96 percent of people with chronic  sinusitis&quot;  http://www.drmirkin.com/morehealth/G220.htm  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  Grapefruit seed extracts:  http://www.herbalremedies.com/actomayclinm.html  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;  http://www.doctorfungus.com/thedrugs/Ampho_Deoxycholate.htm  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;  Therapy for the Amphotericin B deoxycholate&#44; nose spray is:  3 months;  5 squirts each nostral;  2 times aday;  Another Possible Procedure&#44; however using ONLY the 10-squirts worth&#44;  and only done twice  aday&#44; and remembering this MUST NOT be swallowed;  http://www.digitalnaturopath.com/cond/C55833.html  The Sinus Flooding Procedure:  a. Lay on a bed face up with the head hanging over the edge of the  mattress so the nostrils are  pointing straight up toward the ceiling.  b. Use an eye dropper to fill each nostril with the rinse solution.  Keep filling each nostril until  the rinse solution starts to drip in the throat. Remain in the same  position for 2 to 3 minutes.  c. Roll over on the stomach and let the head flop forward over the  edge of the mattress. Remain  in that position for 2 to 3 minutes then sit up and let the rinse  drain out through the nose.  (THIS FOLLOWING DOESNOT APPLY TO US AT THE PRESENT AND/OR UNTIL AN  ACTUAL &quot;WASH&quot; IS MADE AVAILABLE)  d. Important: Repeat this procedure 45 minutes later. The two rinses  45 minutes apart constitute  a single rinse session. Perform two or more such rinse sessions per  day. Relief will typically be  noticeable by the second day. It is not unusual for the sinus  infection to be gone within three  days.  e. Repeat two sessions per day until the infection subsides. Very  persistent infections may  require five to seven day or more.  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  Amphotericin B deoxycholate nasal spray/wash is shipped in a cold pack  and must be kept  refrigerated.

It is nice to know if you  absolutely must put your life at risk with Amphotericin B&#44; you can  quickly get off of it :  &quot;Surgical treatment is mandatory. Initiate medical treatment with  systemic antifungals once  invasion is diagnosed. Amphotericin B (2 g/d) is recommended; this can  be replaced by  ketoconazole or itraconazole once the disease is under control&quot;.  AND AGAIN:  &quot;Acute invasive fungal sinusitis  Emergent treatment is necessary once this condition is suspected.  Initiate systemic antifungal  treatment after surgical debridement. High doses of amphotericin B  (1-1.5 mg/kg/d) are  recommended. Oral itraconazole (400 mg/d) can replace amphotericin B  once the acute stage  has passed. Treatment of the underlying immune deficiency&#44; if  possible&#44; is desirable.&quot;  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + &nbsp;  MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM  &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge&quot; Hosea 4:6  Good luck&#44; and may God be with you.  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  &quot;TROLL ALERT&quot;  Psycho troll&#44; &quot;Harry&quot; at: ha&#8230;@leavemealone.com  Kidnaps nearly every one of my  posts for the purpose of bombing  them with libel&#44; down-right lies  and obscene smut&#44; so please DoNot  Feed The Troll.

<p>There were 11 posts in the past 2 days.  Do you see them ok?  If no&#44; your news server may have issues.  That said&#44; the number of posts has been lower recently &#8211; it may be because it  is summer&#8230; </p>

<p>Hello&#44;  New &quot;Miracle Cure&quot;:  The first thing i must say is donot use Amphotericin B except as a  nasal spray&#44; because it can  and has caused heart attack.

Lay on a bed face up with the head hanging over the edge of the  mattress so the nostrils are  pointing straight up toward the ceiling.  b. Use an eye dropper to fill each nostril with the rinse solution.  Keep filling each nostril until  the rinse solution starts to drip in the throat. Remain in the same  position for 2 to 3 minutes.  c. Roll over on the stomach and let the head flop forward over the  edge of the mattress. Remain  in that position for 2 to 3 minutes then sit up and let the rinse  drain out through the nose.  (THIS FOLLOWING DOESNOT APPLY TO US AT THE PRESENT AND/OR UNTIL AN  ACTUAL &quot;WASH&quot; IS MADE AVAILIBLE)  d. Important: Repeat this procedure 45 minutes later. The two rinses  45 minutes apart constitute  a single rinse session. Perform two or more such rinse sessions per  day. Relief will typically be  noticeable by the second day. It is not unusual for the sinus  infection to be gone within three  days.  e. Repeat two sessions per day until the infection subsides. Very  persistent infections may  require five to seven day or more.  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  Amphotericin B deoxycholate nasal spray/wash is shipped in a cold pack  and must be kept  refrigerated.

It is nice to know if you  absolutely must put your life at risk with Amphotericin B&#44; you can  quickly get off of it :  &quot;Surgical treatment is mandatory. Initiate medical treatment with  systemic antifungals once  invasion is diagnosed. Amphotericin B (2 g/d) is recommended; this can  be replaced by  ketoconazole or itraconazole once the disease is under control&quot;.  AND AGAIN:  &quot;Acute invasive fungal sinusitis  Emergent treatment is necessary once this condition is suspected.  Initiate systemic antifungal  treatment after surgical debridement. High doses of amphotericin B  (1-1.5 mg/kg/d) are  recommended. Oral itraconazole (400 mg/d) can replace amphotericin B  once the acute stage  has passed. Treatment of the underlying immune deficiency&#44; if  possible&#44; is desirable.&quot;  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + &nbsp;  MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM  &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge&quot; Hosea 4:6  Good luck&#44; and may God be with you.  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  &quot;TROLL ALERT&quot;  Psycho troll&#44; &quot;Harry&quot; at: ha&#8230;@leavemealone.com  Kidnaps nearly every one of my  posts for the purpose of bombing  them with libel&#44; down-right lies  and obscene smut&#44; so please DoNot  Feed The Troll.

It is nice to know if you  &gt; absolutely must put your life at risk with Amphotericin B&#44; you can  &gt; quickly get off of it :  &gt; &quot;Surgical treatment is mandatory. Initiate medical treatment with  &gt; systemic antifungals once  &gt; invasion is diagnosed. Amphotericin B (2 g/d) is recommended; this can  &gt; be replaced by  &gt; ketoconazole or itraconazole once the disease is under control&quot;.  &gt; AND AGAIN:  &gt; &quot;Acute invasive fungal sinusitis  &gt; Emergent treatment is necessary once this condition is suspected.  &gt; Initiate systemic antifungal  &gt; treatment after surgical debridement. High doses of amphotericin B  &gt; (1-1.5 mg/kg/d) are  &gt; recommended. Oral itraconazole (400 mg/d) can replace amphotericin B  &gt; once the acute stage  &gt; has passed. Treatment of the underlying immune deficiency&#44; if  &gt; possible&#44; is desirable.&quot;  &gt; &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  &gt; + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  &gt; MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM  &gt; &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge&quot; Hosea 4:6  &gt; Good luck&#44; and may God be with you.  &gt; + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  &gt; &quot;TROLL ALERT&quot;  &gt; Psycho troll&#44; &quot;Harry&quot; at: ha&#8230;@leavemealone.com  &gt; Kidnaps nearly every one of my  &gt; posts for the purpose of bombing  &gt; them with libel&#44; down-right lies  &gt; and obscene smut&#44; so please DoNot  &gt; Feed The Troll.

Use an eye dropper to fill each nostril with the rinse solution.  &gt;&gt;Keep filling each nostril until  &gt;&gt;the rinse solution starts to drip in the throat. Remain in the same  &gt;&gt;position for 2 to 3 minutes.  &gt;&gt;c. Roll over on the stomach and let the head flop forward over the  &gt;&gt;edge of the mattress. Remain  &gt;&gt;in that position for 2 to 3 minutes then sit up and let the rinse  &gt;&gt;drain out through the nose.  &gt;&gt;(THIS FOLLOWING DOESNOT APPLY TO US AT THE PRESENT AND/OR UNTIL AN  &gt;&gt;ACTUAL &quot;WASH&quot; IS MADE AVAILIBLE)  &gt;&gt;d. Important: Repeat this procedure 45 minutes later. The two rinses  &gt;&gt;45 minutes apart constitute  &gt;&gt;a single rinse session. Perform two or more such rinse sessions per  &gt;&gt;day.

Amphotericin B (2 g/d) is recommended; this can  be replaced by  ketoconazole or itraconazole once the disease is under control&quot;.  AND AGAIN:  &quot;Acute invasive fungal sinusitis  Emergent treatment is necessary once this condition is suspected.  Initiate systemic antifungal  treatment after surgical debridement. High doses of amphotericin B  (1-1.5 mg/kg/d) are  recommended. Oral itraconazole (400 mg/d) can replace amphotericin B  once the acute stage  has passed. Treatment of the underlying immune deficiency&#44; if  possible&#44; is desirable.&quot;  &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;` &#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;`  The person that is having a terrible mucus problem should &nbsp;read all  this&#44; and&#44; NO&#44; noone&#44; not  even you should be having soooooooo much mucus.
