Every time my vaccinated friends get sick I tell them about the nasal rinse and the mouthwash (as per FLCCC). Not one of them has used it. But not to worry because their first, second and sometimes third mild cases only lasted two weeks or so.

Hi Steve! I am a big fan of Xylitol and wrote a previous version of this comment on your recent article highlighting its value in treating COVID-19. I would like to share a couple of experiences I have had relating to the content of this more recent article.

1. I believe that the most effective way to treat COVID-19 is to eliminate it in the nasal pharynx before it get into the lungs. One of the things that is immensely frustrating about COVID-19 is that the virus replicates in the nose, sinuses, and throat before it migrates into the lungs. For that reason, if you can eliminate it at that stage, it doesn’t turn into a severe condition. (At least in none of the incidences that I have observed). The fact that this was never taught to the American people is, I believe, one of the biggest acts of malfeasance by the federal govenment throughout the pandemic because you cannot under any circumstances argue this intervention brings harm to the individual (even masking is more dangerous).

2. As you mentioned, there are a variety of studies which show cleaning out the nose and throat prevents or treats COVID-19. This study is the newest, and I was peripherally involved with one that evaluated it at the very start of the pandemic.

3. I had chronic sinus issues for years. I found nasal irrigation to be the most effective solution for those problems. One of the life-changing discovery I made was that you can substitute salt for xylitol (Crystals). To clean the sinuses, you need some type of dissolved solute in order to pull matter out of the sinuses. It is very difficult to get a concentration of salt that can acomplish this but is not also irritating, where as Xylitol is not irritating in any concentration. Additionally, since Xylitol has antimicrobial activity against many of the things that can infect the sinuses, that is an added bonus.

4. Another life-changing discovery for me was finding the electrically powered(pulsating) sinuses irrigators. This makes it much easier to clean out the sinuses.

5. Depending on the stages of the COVID-19, I have observed significant improvement or resolution of the infection (typically this happens at the very start) by using an electric sinus irrigator with Xylitol and an disinfectant (e.g. dilute hydrogen peroxide), along with gargling the disinfectant, and putting it in each ear (I have only done this with hydrogen peroxide).

For anyone who wants to know some of the other simple approaches that government could have implemented to address COVID-19, rather than mostly pointless actions recommended by the CDC, they are summarized here:
