This disease burden is largely explained by anatomy!

and the sinuses are not the only part of the body where the mucosal injury can

happen.

Thanks, for this link, Jeanine. I know I have damage as per CT scans.

According to the study by the Mayo Clinic 95% of chronic sinusitis is

Fungal!!   this report says its rare.  NOT SO!!

This may have already been mentioned, but my doctor prescribed Fluconazole PF

Nasal Spray .5% for the fungal infection in my nose (three different types of

funguses...miserable!!).  It has really helped.  Have others used this? 

Certainly sounds better than surgery, but we all have differing degrees of

illness/infection.  I feel much better since using this, in addition to the

other detox regimen.  Sally
