I fully understand that surgery is the only answer, though I do feel that

those that want to investigate homeopathic routes should have the option. I do

not mean to say that there is an homeopathic alternative to dealing with ctoma,

because i dont think there is, but I do believe that there are things that

help with sinus problems and allergies etc? Is that right? Having always

believed prevention is better than cure, if there are additional ways that

people

can reduce their sinus infection rate, improve their allergies or just make

their pain more comfortable then it can only be of benefit. To have the choice

available is a good idea. I for one have used what other people here have

described as meditation techniques, quite accidently, to help ie with her

all too regular cleanings, and it really helps. It's not a cure, nor am I

looking for one, but any help in dealing with symptoms, stress etc, isnt a bad

thing.

By the way, to echo what so many have said here already, numerous times, the

support from this site is super. There have been times when as a parent I

have found situations very difficult, just recently it has been very hard. When

I felt down, kind supportive words have been offered here, as well as good

practical advice.

I would guess that the plan for the new MSN site is to have it via a link

from here? Perhaps that would ensure that people have the " surgery, plain

facts "

first, before looking out some of the more interesting approaches. I would

also guess that the site wold carry a standard disclaimer? It might be worth

adding to it, that surgery is the only real option and that any alternative

therapies should be discussed with the reader's ENT/doctor?

Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year.
