Hi All,

Wanted to give everyone an update on my ENT apt this morning, in case it may help someone else. If you look under the nasal sinus rinse threads, you will see that I did the Grapefruit-Seed-Extract wash, and it seemed to dramatically reduce the musty smell I have been having (but not totally cure it - namely, the reactions from others).

Went to an ENT today, and he said that what I had for the past 5 years or so has been an infection in my nose / sinuses, and it is likely the Grapefruit-Seed-Extract may have cured (or helped to cure) it. He said it is not something he would recommend to patients, per se, but that if it worked for me, then good.

He prescribed three weeks of Antibiotics (which I would normally resist, but I really like him, so I am going to do what he suggests) which he says may hopefully kill the rest of the infection, then a CT scan of my sinuses, to make sure nothing else is going on.

He also said I have a deviated septum, swelling in my nasal cavaties, and signs of infection.

So, long story short, if you have ever had sinus issues (recurring) and never seen an ENT, I recommend it. Could be that you are suffering from an infection in your sinuses.
