What is junk science?
According to YourDictionary.com junk science is "A cluster of assertions, publications, and experts that have the appearance, but not the actuality, of a scientific specialty." A more detailed discussion follows here:
The problem ... is that defining a "finding" as junk science relies on our having a "clear and unproblematic understanding of what science is, and just as importantly what it is not". We might think we do. It approximates to that observation-hypothesis-prediction-experiment-new-observation-amendment-(peer review)-theory cycle with which we are all fairly familiar. But, many things we call science, such as experiments that cannot be repeated independently, the LHC [Large Hadron Collider] experiments, large-scale clinical trials, climate modelling etc., do not fit and cannot even be forced to fit this cycle. Moreover, of the many thousands of scientific papers out there that comprise the scientific literature, very few, but for some worthy exceptions, are ever repeated by other scientists.In reality, observation studies married with statistics, or flawed clinical studies using animals with a predisposition to cancer, are being used to prove whatever the research sponsor wants to prove. It's junk science. All that is required is to tweak the questionnaire, fiddle with the statistical models, bias the clinical tests and you can have the answer you want. But only so long as that answer is politically correct. Try to use this method to prove something held to be "bad" or "wrong" in the minds of the Public Health Sector, and all hell will break loose.
Comment: Since chronic sinusitis is often mold or fungal related, it's likely that a person with chronic sinusitis has candida or another fungal overgrowth in their digestive tract, so that should be treated first. Dietary allergies as well as the various inflammatory foods (junk food, wheat, grains, dairy, soy, legumes, etc) should be eliminated as well to rule out generalized inflammation as the cause of the chronic sinusitis, and also because they're damaging to the body.
However, as the author has learned, persistent chronic sinusitis that doesn't respond to digestive anti-fungal treatments may be a local infection that needs to be dealt with separately. Lugol's iodine, being a liquid and potent anti-fungal, as well as anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-parasitic, is a perfect candidate for this by using a neti pot or the method that the author describes above to irrigate the sinuses and kill the mold. There would likely be some discomfort with this method from the fungus being killed and potentially from the general inflammation of the sinuses, however it should be relatively minor and likely worth it to eliminate the mold (especially if one has mold allergies and is being chronically inflamed due to the mold in their sinuses).
