Dear Customer,
It’s hard to believe the summer is already winding down
and before long the kids will be back in school.
August is a month for venturing outside to enjoy the last few
days of good weather before the crisp air of fall returns. We
here at Xlear want you to make the most of these dwindling sunny
afternoons, without dreading the return of fall.
An easy way to enjoy the last few weeks of summer is by celebrating
several enjoyable, but little-known holidays. Did you know that
August 10th is S'mores
Day? Or that August 14th is Creamsicle
Day and August 25th is Banana Split Day? What a sweet month!
In between all your sweets and celebrating, however, take time
to remember the third week in August, which marks National Save
Your Smile week. In our product spotlight section below, we highlight
Spry toothpaste, our pick to ensure you enjoy the this month’s
celebrations.
Also be sure to check out this month’s Xlear
Perspective,
from Dr. Lon Jones. His article proposes a probable explanation
for the increase in allergy suffering since the early 1970’s
and focuses on methods for keeping your nose "Xlear” following
the official start of Hay Fever Season, August 15th.
We hope you enjoy this month’s Crystal Xlear Newsletter,
and as always, please send us your feedback and suggestions to
crystalxlear@xlear.com.

Are You Keeping Your
Nose Xlear®?
Alonzo H. Jones, D.O.

On a recent trip to Colorado, a colleague of mine
ran out of Xlear® Nasal Wash, so he asked his wife to pick
up "the nose spray with xylitol" on her trip to the store.
His wife returned,
not with Xlear®, but with a nasal spray advertising xylitol
on the label, and it didn't work.
The patent on the nasal use of xylitol covers "effective amounts" and
goes low, but it doesn't go to zero. These other nasal sprays
advertising xylitol, and there are now at least two, have about
a hundred times less xylitol than what is in Xlear®. It's
the xylitol that makes Xlear® effective. Don't get fooled.
Ask for Xlear® by name and "Keep your nose Xlear®." more.

Get Behind Me! Sugar Vanguard Media Nigeria, July 8, 2007

"Your body doesn’t say, "that is a nice sugar, I like
that”, sure there is some nutritive value to uncooked, unfiltered
honey, but most of us put it in tea, which cooks it and turns it
to pure sugar. For baking, substitute natural sweeteners like xylitol
which sounds like a chemical but is actually red birch bark.”

Xlear Product Testimonial
“I just wanted to let you know that my doctor had suggested
using xylitol for myself and the entire family. I bought some at
his office, and then went online to look at your website. I was
so thrilled to find other products using xylitol.
“We are a family of 6. I have Candida, and as you know,
you cannot feed it sugar because it thrives. Not with xylitol.
That is a beautiful thing. I’ve been making all sorts of
desserts and even made up a ‘mock Almond Joy bark’ that
tastes pretty incredible. It’s one of my favorite candy bars,
and now I don’t even miss it anymore.
“My step-son has ADHD. Refined sugars make him very hyper,
unable to sit still and seriously out of control at all times.
His diet was changed to a diabetic diet, and using xylitol compliments
everything we are doing. He’s no longer out of control. It
is such a blessing to be able to give him candies and other treats
that I can make for him to take to school so he doesn’t feel
left out like before. He can even have cake again, and he is beyond
thrilled. We even have my three kids eating the Sparx candies,
mints, and gum as well. All four of them enjoy your goodies.
“The best part of this is our dental visit. Our last visit
to the dentist was completely fantastic! NO CAVITIES AT ALL for
any of us this year!! My youngest daughter had 8 cavities the year
before, and I had a couple myself. Since the use of xylitol products
we are now enjoying healthier mouths for life and it is so worth
the simple changes we have made. We even use the toothpaste and
mouthwash. My husband really loves the mouthwash because it works
better than anything else he has ever used in the past (I agree).
“Your nasal spray is also fantastic as my daughter and I
have allergies, too. Breathing easier is also a gift.
“Thank you so much for such wonderful products.”
D. Templin
