Can't Taste or Smell Anymore - Ear, Nose & Throat - MedHelp
Tasteless, your Dr. Clarke is way ahead of the research, and has kicked it up a notch.  Up-to-date doctors know that antibiotics don’t work against sinusitis.  They’ve probably seen the research (Google: Mayo Clinic snot) that reveals that sinusitis isn’t a tissue infection—it’s the toxins from the infected snot that are irritating the sinuses, nose, and throat.  The cure for sinusitis is to remove the mucus, either with surgery (no way!) or to wash it out with saline solution.  Squirting saline up your nose doesn’t work (gravity), but 3 things do.  A) a neti pot, which is mildly effective;  B) Dr. Grossan’s Hydropulse, which is safe, much more effective, costs $100 ; or C)  The Flip-Turn Sinus Flush, which is slightly risky, completely effective, costs $5.  The risk is that you have to bend down in a shower, to use gravity, but it’s unsurpassed in its ability to flush out a fistful of snot, with any bacteria, virus, fungus, mold, chunks of gel, weird smells, blood, whatever, from every nook and cranny of your sinuses, and will restore the sinuses to full function in less than 2 weeks.  Read more in My Journal (friggy).
Well, where I am at, land of pagans and idol worshipers, (non christian folk) they comonly flush the sinuses. It is hard to hear your son wailing away while they are ramming on him with a vacum, and then they do the traditional back pounding routine, in an 18 month old! BUT it seems to work, he gets better really quick....  like I said, as a father it is hard to tolerate though.
