Guest guest Posted September 13, 1999 Report Share Posted September 13, 1999 [Lyme-aid] FYI | From: " larryyenko " <larryy@...> | | To All, | FYI | Larry NV | | Fungus Implicated as Cause of Chronic Sinusitis | September 9, 1999 | Mayo Clinic Proceedings/MedscapeWire Larry, Sounds like this may be an answer to some of our problems?? I have chronic sinus problems and I always have refereed to it as like an allergy. But since we have over-reactive immune systems this could be why we have so much trouble with stuffed noses, drainage, etc. Something sure aggravates those nasal passages! Thanks for the article.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 You might try aroma #4 - to help with any potential fungal, viral, bacterial problem You can put the UNDA numbers in a spray bottle and have him do 2-3 sprays in each nostril bid Dick Thom Beaverton, OR cancer, AI Hello, I have been seeing a 46y.o. male for 2 months now. He originally presented with sinus pain/congestion(frontal), post nasal drip, sneezing, watery eyes, phlegm in throat (now is clear, but from Jan- Mar was green, thick sputum). He has clear discharge from his nose and finds that he is constantly clearing his throat. He has had the sinus pain for a couple of years now, but the post nasal drip has been around for the past 8 months. When he has an acute cold or bronchitis (typically 1-2/year) he finds that the post nasal drip disappears. His sense of smell has greatly diminished (and worse on lt side). He often experiences 'the smell of the day', where he will smell something in the morning and keep on smelling the same smell for the rest of the day. He leads a very active lifestyle - trains for mountain bike races and triathalons. He claims that with competitive training he often experiences wheezing and SOB (also will wake up in the middle of the night with constriction). He has an appt this month to see a pulmonologist - M.D. believes he has exercise induced asthma. He is stubborn and won't take time off from exercise/training even if he is feeling poor. He told me on the last visit that he just found out that both of his sisters developed asthma in their 30s and it went away within a few years. No other remarkable family history. Past medical history includes Bell's palsy 20 yrs ago - lasted for several mnths and developed an ear infection. No major childhood illnesses. Presently, he is using an inhaler as needed for his wheezing. He uses Flonase once in awhile if symptoms are bad, but doesn't like to take it. He works as an electronic engineer (manager)...high stress...and believes his respiratory problems are due to this. He manages his stress through exercise. He claims his energy is fairly high still. We tried eliminating certain ?allergens: chlorine from pool, plants at work, dairy x 2 wks, pets (has had poodle for 14yrs), same house for years - no new paint or carpets. His symptoms remained the same after eliminating dairy and not going to the pool for over a month. This is what I have tried with him: -no dairy x 2 wks -nasal lavage with acidophilus and sea salt (2-3x/day) -warm/cold compresses -quercetone -HMF -Vitamin C -flaxseed caps -Undas: 1,20,243 to start off, open the emunctories -2, 27, 220 -now: 5, 27, 710 and kali-b(1M) -Muccococcinum He is still experiencing congestion in sinuses, loss of sense of smell, difficulty breathing, post nasal drip not as bad (but thicker secns). Any suggestions?? Regards, Ashely Gordon, BSc, ND Squamish and Whistler, BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi Ashely Try no dairy, wheat, sugar or sweets, and suggest he needs to do this for 6 weeks. Chronic sinusitis very often responds to no wheat. And have him do a diet diary. I am often surprised how often people tell me they are doing a no dairy, yet still eating yogurt, or doing no wheat, but still eating cookies or pasta. Adults often take longer than 2 weeks for food elimination to clear their symptoms. If the secretions are thicker, and he exercises a lot, he may not be drinking enough water. If he is drinking Gatorade or similar he could also be reacting to the junk in that.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Ashely, Hello - I had a similar patient who actually had an underlying adrenal fatigue/exhaustion issue that once we addressed that the smell, congestion etc. improved dramatically as did other things. Consider an ASI, especially with the exercise " addiction " . Good luck! Polinsky, N.D. Vancouver, B.C.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Ashely, I concur with Dr. Polinsky and have had a similar experience with the adrenals. Have you considered the GI? A mucous membrane is a mucous membrane, I have also had good results with " GI " tx (including glutamine, NAG, FOS, drainage etc) even without overt GI distress.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 no, it's not. this article and info. regarding Dr. Dennis has been posted here before by Dr. Thrasher and I posted something about Dr. Dennis a long time ago when I was looking for a expert ENT. I'm sure theres several posts in the archives related to chronic sinusitis. Rhinosinusitis, olfactory damage, CSF Rhinoreehea, meningitis, ect. just about every topic you can think of regarding WDB exposures has been covered many times. I was just reposting some articles from the archives. > > I met a guy while in Az. seeing Dr. Gray, we got to talking about the sinus issues involved and he had went to Dr. Dennis and was very happy with the results of surgery. > > if you put this in your search engine it should bring up the PDF. > Chronic sinusitis: defective T-cells responding to superantigens, treated by reduction of fungi in the nose and air. > > Many patients remain refractory Chronic Sinusitis: Defective T-Cells Responding to Superantigens, Treated by Reduction of Fungi in the Nose and Air DR.
