For a number of years, I frantically searched for any information I thought I could find on sinuses. I was, unfortunately the kind of patient who had undergone numerous surgeries and evaluations to no avail. I was a more serious case and felt that I would eventually die if help were not found soon. I was racked with fever, pain, and pressure. I had exhausted myself visiting every Ear Nose and Throat doctor within a two hundred mile radius of my home. Despite my insistance that these problems had become serious, most doctors disregarded my problems as being insignificant. The Sinusitis Help Book gave me every piece of important information I needed to validate my condition for myself, and to continue forward in my pursuit of a doctor who would listen. Next this book gave me the proper questions to ask that would eventually save my life. My condition as it turned out was a rather serious infected cyst. Doctor M. Lee Williams answered questions that no doctor had been able to answer. I was amazed at his passion in his feild. Most doctors had given me few answers or options. This man made me realize that there are many, many conditions of the sinuses, many symptoms to suggest this, and many treatment options. I am not embellishing one bit when I say that I would be dead had I not read this book. My condition was crescendoeing just as I was to find the proper questions to ask. Doctor Williams is a genius, noting in his book certain symptoms that most doctors have never heard of. It was a tremendous help to me . I am now nearly well and I have doctor Williams to thank for that. I really believe that every Otolaryngologist in this country who is learning or practicing should consider reading this significant and comprehensive bible of sinusitis. Thanks Doctor Williams for saving my life with this masterpeice of medicine,sincerely, Lana Olivia Gentry, Richmond,Virginia

The temptation to tell people what's really wrong with them is almost irrisistable once you've read this book. You recognize all the symptoms; are pretty sure you know some of the treatments. Of course, an illness is only fascinating to those who suffer from it, but sinus infections hit so many children that unaffected parents also should be interested.Written specifically for the layman, Dr. Williams reflects the image of a kindly country doctor with sage advice. Don't swim in pools during the winter-- they are fraught with germs. Don't sleep near a drafty door or vent; you will start to cough.Wash your hands, take simple medicines, drinks lots of fluids. Sound familiar? Well, much of it is, but the many situations that lead to infections may be completely new to chronic sufferers. They owe it to themselves and their frequently infected families to learn more about this common, expensive and debilitating condition.The small cost of the book could have a big payback with information that should last a lifetime

Everyone hates to have surgery with little information. This book answered the many questions that a person with polyps, way up his sinus cavities, had been concerned about. Now, he can go to his physician/surgeon with a better understanding and fewer concerns.
Well written book.

Many pictures of mucus exploding into eyes, brain, blinding and killing people. If you want to worry a lot and run to the doctor in fear, read this book right away. 1 page of self help with 200 pages of this is the worst case scenario, but it reads like all sinusitis cases are extremely dangerous. To put it in perspective, such conditions are always called "rare" or extremely rare. Not in this book. Reminds me of those doctors that thinks that scaring the patient into a frozen anxiety state is the only way to control the patient completely. Fails to put the risk of actual blindness and death in perspective. Talks about those risks all the time, as if half of all sinusitis sufferers would burst an eye or the brain and die on the spot. The doctor's need to inform through fear mongering is out of control in this work.
