Re: Sinus questions?

IMO.. the major culprits of this disease and the way you respond to

antibiotics, falls at the feet of the staph you were diagnosed with

and reading about at dr. shoe's site.You want to get a general idea

iof what drugs work best with it by sensitivity tests so your

treatment can give you a better picture of what may be at the heart

of all this mishmash that is called autoimmune ilness.

Xylitol helps by not allowing organisms adhere to the sinus walls. It prevents the biofilms from sticking. Whether it busts through existing biofilms, I don't know. But I don't see how it could hurt you. You might try the betadine (iodine) rinses as well. Betadine kills just about everything it comes in contact with. And the salt pipe might be another thing you'd like to look into. I have no idea if it will help or not, but again, in theory it sounds like it could potentially help. pennyirishdrought1955 <irishdrought1955@...> wrote: I have only been on this forum for a couple of weeks.
