Xylitol Nasal Wash
|
|
Xylitol
can
be applied nasally
through a saline solution containing xylitol. Nasal
Xylitol works great in
preventing the growth of
bacteria.
While
sugar is
acid forming, xylitol is alkaline enhancing.
All other forms of sugar feed dangerous
bacteria and fungi.
When bacteria enter the body they hold on to the tissues by hanging on
to a variety of sugar complexes. The open nature of xylitol and its
ability to form many different sugar-like structures appears to
interfere with the ability of many bacteria to adhere.
The
action that
xylitol has on bacteria in the back of the nose is
best cure and prevention and
stimulates our own
defensive mechanism. Xylitol provide safe and reasonable option to many
of the health problems associated with allergies and infections.
Use
nasal
wash as often as needed, or as directed by your physician for the
relief of nasal irritation. For best results use at least 2 times
daily. With head in upright position, insert nozzle in nostril and
squeeze container quickly 2 to 3 times; inhale deeply to pull the spray
to the back of the nose. Do this for each nostril. Administer to
infants in the same manner. For those unable to inhale or when the nose
is completely blocked, lie down after spraying for best results. Safe
enough for infants.

Xylitol
|
Xylitol is
not a drug, has no known toxic levels and it was approved by
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1963. The only known
discomfort that some sensitive people may
notice initially is mild diarrhea or slight
cramping, and that usually occurs when its
taken in large amounts.
Since xylitol is a natural substance and our
body makes about 10
grams every day, as well as the enzymes needed
to
break it down, any discomfort usually disappears within a few days as
the body's enzymatic activity adjusts to a higher intake.
Xylitol is a low-calorie
alternative to table sugar that heals and repairs, builds immunity,
protects against chronic degenerative disease
and has anti-ageing benefits. Xylitol is considered a five-carbon
sugar, which means it is an antimicrobial, preventing the growth of
bacteria. While sugar is acid forming, xylitol is alkaline enhancing.
All other forms of sugar, including sorbitol, another popular
alternative sweetener, are six-carbon sugars which feed dangerous
bacteria and fungi.
Xylitol also appears to have potential as a
treatment for osteoporosis. A group of Finnish researchers has found
that dietary xylitol prevents weakening of bones in laboratory rats,
and actually improves bone density. Find out more...
