Guys i just read this on a blog, very interesting My daughter is 13 and has just had her third polyp

surgery. We have battled these polyps for four years now. We have

gone the allergy, SInus Wars (doesn't work), diet, surgery, and homeopathic

routes. She had all the blood work (about 8 vials worth), asthma, and

cystic fibrosis testing. All negative! The las surgeon told

us there is no way that a little girl should have her polyps grow back

every year. He sent us to California Sinus Institute in Palo Alto

Ca. Within 5 minutes of walking into the room this awesome Dr. told us

what type of polyp she had, how she got it, and that he could remove it with

only a 5% chance of recurrence. He actually searches out the root and

cauterizes it so that it will not grow back. Our other drs. told us that

it was not possible to kill a polyp. We just watched the surgery dvd

tonight and it sure looked like he killed it to me. The nurses at

Stanford said that people travel form everywhere to get his help. There

was actually a gentleman who had 12 nasal surgeries who came to get fixed by

him. He will be seeing our daughter every month or so and sending a scope

up her nose to see if anything is growing back. He said that if so he

will cauterize it then and there. I have never posted on a blog before.

I just know that I spent hours on the internet searching for an answer with no

luck and great expense. I hope that this post will help someone who is

having trouble so that they can find some help. Good luck to all of you

who are battling polyps.

Sergiu he’s more than a fraud, he’s someone who’s out to make

money out of people who suffer with this dreaded disease.

I’ve had my polyps cauterized but was told that this was to

lessen the bleeding afterwards and would make no difference to the growing back

at all.

That ENT is a fraud if he promised stopping polyp growth by nasal

cauterization.
