Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Marie,there are strong associations between asthma and nasal polyposis. I think you are on the right track with tx, continue as you have been, and yes this will certainly take time. Singulair is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, so it should not cause a rebound growth, especially with all of the treatments you have been doing. Also, since this woman has a hx of chronic sinusitis I would consider doing a manual therapy of nasal-specific (balloon sinuplasty), if you do not do that yourseld, try finding another practitioner who does, another ND or perhaps a chiropractor. I find this to be very effective as part of my overall tx plan in cases with chronic sinusitis. Dr. Igor N.

Subject: Nasal polypsTo: Date: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 10:33 AM Hi everyone I am treating a 51 yo female with chronic recurrent sinusitis and nasal polyps x 25 yrs. We’ve been working together since June and she has made a lot of great improvements – she no longer has allergic asthma and has been able to go off her asthma meds and inhalers. She has also been sinus infection free for the past 3 months or so. Her polyps at her last visit with her EENT were worse, however. She has been on itraconazole long term as a systemic anti-fungal and is very leary of going off of this. We’ve done a lot of things – AI diet (she’s no where near perfect at this but no longer does dairy which was a staple in her diet ) #1, 20 243 (she broke out in a rash all over her body which cleared up after a week or so. (17, 37) (20, 243, 270) (8, 710,followed by 17, 39) She also takes Aller-C, ADP (oil of oregano), Polyps and Adhesions formula, FNG (homeopathic fungi remedy), HMF Intensive, she does a glutatione nebulizer once daily, warming socks 3x/week, and neti pot daily. She’s going to start acupuncture after the new year. She was recently rx’d a nasal rinse with singulair by her EENT and I’m wondering if this might cause a rebound growth when she discontinues it? I’ve told her this is going to take some time as she has had this for a real long time and that it takes time to heal the gut and clear up her dysbiosis. She is so the sycotic miasm. Any other ideas from people who have had success with polyps? Thank you! Marie ND Wash DC -- Marie , ND www.drmarierodrigue z.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
