Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I've just arrived back after a long holiday in Africa so have missed a lot no doubt. I managed to pick up Malaria vivax and Campylobacter Jejuni. I think the malaria has finally gone (after 2 bouts) but the stomach bug is very persistant - 8 weeks now. That is not the reason for my email. A friend of mine has Nasal Polyps and has been told he needs an operation to remove them. Is there any alternative treatment for them? I have been searching the web but without much success as well as the msg board. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks you Regards Graeme Ellis The Goldfields Western Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can usually pick up the latest copy or read it at your local natural health food stores. Although I do not have the latest edition, I can see that his comments are quite relevant. Among others, he cites moderate to large doses of vitamin C. He states that this condition usually afflicts those with allergies who typically overuse nasal sprays and nose drops. Very interesting! A quote from Dr. Balch: Research has found that men with the highest consumption of saturated fat were twice as likely to develop potentially malignant polyps as men who limited their fat intake. A high fiber diet with no animal fats is important! Jerome J. DeCosse, M.D. Ph. D. and his colleagues at the University of wisonsin's Department of Surgery and Pathology discovered that when vitamin C was added to the treatment, polyps were either reduced in number of completly eliminated in five out of eight people!
