 Jack:  I and several others have successfully used breastmilk for treating
sinusitis and chronic sinus infections of undetermined etiology (could have
been bacterial, viral or fungal).  Unfortunately, I don't have any
published studies on this.  We've applied the brstmlk in several ways.  A
few have used atomizer bottles from things like saline mist.  Others have
used eye droppers.  One woman rigged her waterpik up to give her sinuses a
blast.  And, yet another used a hand nasal irrigator similar to an enema
bulb.  Most of these were alternated with saline solution flushing of the
sinuses.  The important thing is to do it regularly.  : ) CHE
