Hi Steve,

I am a big fan of Xylitol. I would like to share a couple of experiences I have had relating to the content of this 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.

2. As you mentioned, there are a variety of studies which show cleaning out the nose and throat prevents COVID-19.

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 illness, 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).

6. A certain portion of people will have allergic reactions to specific constituents of oral care products. Sprite is the only brand I know of that does not cause those issues, so I am a big fan of them.

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.

That’s too funny you posted this.

I got this spray when COVID first happened and I discovered you, Zelenko, FLCC, and the other people promoting other protocols.

I took it as a prophylactic, then when I caught COVID I used it more frequently. For me COVID was nothing. But I did lose my sense of smell and taste for about a month.

My sense of smell came back very muted and garbled, like things didn’t smell right, or as strong as they should. THEN, my smell became very weird, and everything bad smelled like onions. This has been going on since February. The litter box, my urine, my stool, soup, eggs, chicken, the trash can, all I smell is onions, those things literally all smell the same.

Fed up, I went back to using the Xlear spray I had left over, and my smell has started to come back to normal within 2 days.

This morning eggs smelled like onions, so I took it again, but I am starting to differentiate between smells.

It works.

Unvaccinated, for those asking.
