What Causes Chronic Sinusitis?

Since 1999, a comprehensive body of basic and clinical research performed at the

Mayo Clinic has indicated that chronic sinusitis is an immune reaction caused by

fungus in susceptible patients (approximately 10% of the population).

Researchers at Mayo Clinic determined that chronic sinusitis is caused by a

normally innocuous non-invasive mold in the mucus, but which in chronic

sinusitis patients elicits a destructive, inflammatory response. This

eosinophilic inflammatory response is confirmed by testing for the presence of

eMBP (eosinophilic major basic protein), which is a toxic protein released by

inflammatory cells in response to the fungi.

SinuTest™: Diagnostic for Chronic Sinusitis

Accentia has the exclusive commercial rights in the U.S. to the patented

diagnostic, SinuTest™, which is a diagnostic used to measure eMBP (eosinophilic

major basic protein) in the nasal mucin of the suspected chronic sinusitis

patients. SinuTest is the only confirmatory lab test available for the diagnosis

of chronic sinusitis, and it is currently being marketed by Accentia to Ear,

Nose and Throat Specialists (ENTs) and Allergy Specialists. SinuTest is expected

to provide physicians with a tool to predict those patient candidates best

suited to benefit from treatment with SinuNase.

Dr Marinkovich could have told them this long ago. He could have gotten

exclusive Rights to Nizoral Spray but he was more interested in just solving the

health problems of his patients, but good for they are looking at solving

'something'.

Joe, it might interest you to know that I went to the mayo clinic,

very first thing I was told was that they COULDN'T diagnose toxic mold exposure

and they wouldn't be drug to court! but sence I was already there, witch they

had told my doctor I needed to get there asap, and had already got a hotel room

set up for a week, I should stay and get checked out.

evertything they found can and is caused by mold exposure,

yet after a long week of test after test, includeing lung,sinus,allergy, being

diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and rhinosinusitis, the report says " although

same of the illnesses found could be contributed to mold, we dont know if they

all can.

their allergest tried to make me pick a season when I felt better because of the

allergies that their allergy testing,pin prick tests, didn't show,isn't that

weird?

I couldn't do that at that time, I was sicker than crap all the time than,

seasons meant nothing to me. so he marked summer for me, after getting quite

rude about it. summer, one of my worse times of the year. now I could tell them

that my best time of year can be outside in the winter when it's snowing and in

the early spring when it's rainy but not if it gets to warm and to rainy and not

before a rain a rain at any time of the year if the fronts get to me but during

the rain when all the crap is knocked out of the air I fell great, but the

minute the sun comes out hot and things start being airborne again I start

felling worse, that includes my sinuses.

what do you think he would of thought had I told him that?

and if you really understand what their findings sugest in 1999, it is about

mold, not toxic mold, it is about bodily responces being toxic, not the

mold,when you have chronic sinusitis. and yes you can and do have responces in

the sinus when mold gets in the mucosal lineings, and they can be

allergic,irritant,toxic.

inflammation!

I never had either chronic sinusitis or rhinosinusitis until I was exposed in a

WDB! I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SUSCEPTIBILITY, my susceptibility was being

exposed in a WDB and breathing mold and it's toxic by products up my nose, plus

whatever else was there.

I was healty, I was not sick, I was hardly ever sick my whole life.

I never had allergies.

so, unlike you I didn't have pre sinus issues or anything else, so I know the

why's and wheres. susceptiblity happens when you start liveing in a WDB!

what happens to cause chronic sinusitis and what happens after you have it are

two different things. it's not the other way around!

if I were you I'd be wondering greatly about my exposures when I was 9 that

caused my illness than.

I think the mayo's findings are lacking greatly, it's never one thing, one way

and it's very easy to say, oh you have a susceptiblity to to this or that as a

excuse not to dig deeper or have to get down to truth and cause. you see the

exposure came first, than the sunis issues, not the other way around, just like

the exposure came first than the allergies, not the other way around.
