I love Xylitol.

It is great stuff. They have chewing gum to help prevent cavities & I make a

nasal wash that keeps my chronic sinus congestion under control.

It can also be used as a sweetener. Use it for a lot of things, make your

own toothpaste etc

You can get bulk Xylitol at

www.beyond-a-century.com

and Xlear makes the nasal wash. www.xlear.com

Hi

Yeh I use xylitol crystals as a mouthwash to prevent tooth decay. I think

they work very well and leave your mouth feeling very very clean and they

are cheap. I first started using them because I had sore teeth and gums and

the problem cleared up with regular use of the xylitol mouthwash. They are

supposed to work by preventing bacterial adhesion to the tooth enamel and by

stimulating remineralisation of damaged teeth

Anyone has experience with Xylitol?

In what way do you mean " coagulation " . Blood coagulation?

Hypercoagulation? Sticky blood is a common feature in PWCs and a

trademark of bacterial infection, and dental infection. Are you

saying flouride contriubtes to hypercoagulation of the blood?

I've used xylitol as an antimicrobial in nasal rinses. It's

excellent stuff. Xlear is a nasal spray which prevents colds and

allergies, by preventing ahesion of organisms to the nasal passages.

If it reduces your bacterial load, a secondary byproduct would be

less coagulation of the blood.

In general: any literature whether it triggers coagulation OR if it

lessen coagulation.

Yes, Fluoride been documented to CAUSE coagulation.

See http://lassesen.com/cfids/coagulation_triggers.htm for references

to studies (and other coagulation triggers)... if anyone knows of

additional ones, please email or post the source of information.

We saw it dramatically after our dentist's assistant applied a

fluoride treatment to our daughter's teeth--- she had a flare staring

the next morning that lasted over a week and was actually painful---

all of her muscles were in pain from lack of oxygen.
