Prevention is Best Medicine: Xlear Nasal Wash Offers Natural

Given flu vaccine shortages, many people will have to rely on good, old fashioned flu-prevention measures to avoid suffering during these fall and winter months. One way to avoid getting sick that is rarely mentioned alongside regular hand washing and extra vitamin C is maintaining a healthy nose. Xlear Nasal Wash, an all natural saline solution with xylitol, aids the body’s natural cleansing process by helping to flush out the bacteria and particles that could lead to a cold, sinusitis or the flu.

Xlear (pronounced "clear") is a patented, non-addictive nasal wash that combines the unique properties of xylitol and the health-promoting practice of a saline nasal spray to help wash, hydrate and moisturize the nasal passages. While many people will turn to over-the-counter and prescription medications to fend off the effects of a cold, sinus infections or the flu, many of the medications are armed with antihistamines and are designed to turn-off the body’s natural cleansing process in the nose. Xlear Nasal Wash can be used safely with these medications to help hydrate and moisturize dry nasal passages.

“It is no secret that the nose is home to the bacteria and particles that cause sinusitis, flu and even ear infections in children,” said Nathan Jones, president of Xlear, Inc. “With fewer available flu vaccines, implementing prevention measures early in this flu season will be critical to stay healthy. Most of us frequently wash our hands and are cautious about rubbing our mouth and our eyes with dirty hands. Regular use of our Xlear Nasal Wash will help to maintain a healthy nasal passage and upper respiratory tract by enhancing the body’s natural process of washing away dirt, particles and bacteria. Keeping our noses clean is one more thing we can do to help avoid catching a cold or the flu bug, or suffering from sinusitis or ear infections.”

A recent study by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine suggests that sinusitis and bronchitis account for more than 30 million missed workdays each year and take a “significant toll on a person’s ability to participate in everyday life.” The study also reported that 85 percent of those surveyed had suffered from a sinus infection in the past 12 months. Dr. Berrylin J. Ferguson, associate professor of otolaryngology at the university suggested that with the short supply of flu vaccines, the “increased prevalence of influenza may translate into an increase in bacterial infections, including sinusitis and bronchitis.” (http://newsbureau.upmc.com/Medsurg3/FergusonSurvey2004.htm)

Xlear recommends during the first two to four weeks of using Xlear Nasal Wash, adults and children should administer it three to four times a day. After the first month, it should be used twice a day as a preventative measure. Xlear Nasal Wash is administered directly into the nasal passage.

About Xylitol
Xylitol is a natural sugar derived from birch trees, common fruits and vegetables and has unique health benefits. When exposed to xylitol in a laboratory setting, certain specific bacteria lose their ability to adhere to sinus tissues, helping the body to more easily flush away the bacteria. Xylitol is approved in the United States as a food additive in unlimited quantity for foods with special dietary purposes and is recognized by the World Health Organization as a safe and effective food additive.
