It's WILD--Xylitol is a carbohydrate found in birch trees that is used as a sugar substitute, but it has also been studied for tooth decay prevention and ear infection prevention in children.  It's ALSO been studied as a means of deactivating respiratory viruses and blocking viral adhesion to human airway tissue. When Covid hit, there were indications that using a xylitol spray known as Xclear could potentially deactivate adhesion of the virus to the nasal passages where the viral load for the disease is carried.  The science was turned over to the US government by Xlear in hopes that they could offer a possible means of prevention or even early treatment option.  The science was NEVER read. Instead, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Xlear, on behalf of the United States, alleging that certain statements made by Xlear violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Consumer Protection Act.  In this episode, we chat with CEO Nathan Jones who issued a statement in response to the lawsuit which read, in part, "Last year, the Government published on the website of the National Institutes of Health the results of a clinical trial (that) found people who were already sick with COVID-19, who used Xlear nasal spray—and just Xlear nasal spray—cleared the disease and tested negative in half the time of the average COVID-19 case. None of the patients developed severe cases, none required hospitalization. Now the Government is suing Xlear asserting, among other things, that when Xlear tells people about scientific studies, even ones republished by the NIH, we are somehow misleading people and making false claims. It’s nonsensical." What's happening to Xlear sounds CRAZY, and worse, it continues to implicate the depths of corruption.  You'll want to hear this story...and share it...because people need to know.
