Nasal Polyps and autoimmune

[Guest guest]

If this research is correct, LDN would work on nasal polyps. Check out www.ldninfo.org if you want any more information. I am by no means a Doctor, I just luckily stumbled on this ....

Polypous ethmoiditis

Investigations of etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of polypous ethmoiditis show the role of chronic inflammation, sensitization and autoimmune reactions in mechanisms of nasal polyposis (NP). The development of postoperative recurrences of NP depends on the microflora, defective microcirculation, permeability of the histohematic barriers of the nasal and labyrinthine mucosa and metabolism of glycosaminoglycanes in the above mucosa. Adequate treatment methods are suggested: He-Ne laser radiation, UV blood radiation, cryotherapy, corticosteroids. Promising are also autovaccine, autovaccine with tissue (polypous) antigen, ozone solutions.

Key words: ethmoiditis polypous, sinusitis, sensitization, autoimmune reactions, treatment surgical and conservative.

Immunological features of patients with polypous ethmoiditis

34 patients with nasal polyps (NP) and 12 normal individuals were studied immunologically to investigate association of nasal polyp formation with disorders of general and local immunity. In NP patients there were decreased preoperative and early postoperative levels of peripheral blood T- and B-lymphocytes, functional activity of lymphocytes and neutrophils. In contrast to normal individuals, nasal secretion of NP patients contained degenerative epithelial cells and neutrophils, activated lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils. Nasal polyp tissues obtained after polypectomy contained more B-lymphocytes than T-lymphocytes. Lymphocytes and neutrophils in nasal polyps had elevated functional activity in tissue culture. We conclude that local hyperactivation of T- and B-lymphocytes as well as neutrophils contribute much to nasal polyp formation.

Key words: polypous ethmoiditis, immunological indices, pathogenesis, immunological tests.

,

This looks promising! I'm in the NYC area (moving to manhattan this

month) and I will call Dr. Bahari to try this out. Have you tried it

yourself? Has anyone else on the board?

If it really works for psoriasis, that gives me a good feeling about

its possibilities for aspirin sensitive asthma.
