Re: xylitol source

I have seen it here, but have never tried it.

Does anyone know where I can get zylitol that is not made from corn?

I read a certain review on the swanson website for a xylitol product and they

said that mercola recommends xylitol be made with birch bark and not corn. All

corn is GMO today. I tried to go on mercola's site so I could find the article

and read it, but that was unsuccessful and they are not open yet to call for

help.

Hi Lyn,

My XyloSweet bag says non-GMO.

Found this link .... looks great. Xylitol from birch trees:

http://store.xylitolcanada.com/categories/Bulk-Xylitol/

Several other products and brands available.

Organika also produces organic Xylitol available at health foods stores and some

'cutting edge' grocery stores. My Loblaw has a really great health section.

To Joan and Dee

I took advantage of this site's buy 2 gt 1 free sale. I got pretty impressed

with the health BENEFITS of a sweetener. I never thought a sweetener would have

so many health benefits, particularly anti-fungal, as this one does. Wish I had

been using this all along instead of the less tasteful sweetener that is not to

raise blood sugar and is allowed on my diet: that I also have to wonder about

because the product is white, but the plant it comes from is green (namely,

stevia).  Anywho, I particularly want to start brushing with xylitol, baking

soda and salt. Someone posted on here that this combination helps remineralize

teeth. The lady at globalsweetener who talked to me said you have to use the

sugar as a rinse for 3 minutes. I already brush with liquid, so I will just put

taht in my mouth and then use my regular calcium bentonite clay, and the salt on

the brush and brush with the xylitol water in my mouth.

Does anyone know anything about coconut palm sugar. I recently came across this

and it is not to raise blood sugar. I wonder if there are any other health

benefits to this. I found it on two websites. One is swansonvitamins.com and the

other is mynaturalmarket.com. This is a brand new sweetener to me. Never heard

any word about it. I just found it on those sites.

      What info have you found on it. The only thing I found was a short,

limited study on the blood sugar and the report gave the disclaimer that the

study took into account  only " normal " ingestion of  the sugar. Meaning, it

did not go into what might happen if the sugar was used in a greater amount. I

would like to know if it has health benefits because coconut itself is so

therapeutic; what part of the tree or fruit is it made from and such like that.

[Guest guest]

I will chime in and say the amount of xylitol I ingest is limited because of the

loose stools/diarrhea issue. I do use it for dental care and Epic mints on

ocassion. My diet is severely limited so one mint is a huge treat.

On the date sugar question....remember sugar is sugar is sugar especailly with

some health conditions.

I have included an interesting link for you however.

True to an exten, but we aren't talking about date sugar, we're talking

about coconut palm sugar... it has a very low glycemic index, and is

GRAS for diabetics.

If you're going to use sugar, you may as well use one that is healthier.

Hi Joan,

Have you tried erythritol? It's very similar to xylitol but without the diarrhea

issue unless you take waaay too much. I chew xylitol gum daily but use

erythritol in place of sugar:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol

While it is said that erythritol is 60-70% as sweet as sugar, I find that adding

an equal amount as the recipe calls for is fine with me as I find that too many

things are overly sweetened. Coconut sugar is also a healthy alternative but is

very expensive and has the same calories as regular sugar. One could, however,

mix it half and half with the erythritol as I have sometimes done with the

erythritol and sugar if a recipe calls for a lot of sugar - like the cheese cake

I make at Christmas.

Best,

Dee

Joan,

Since I've been researching stabilized aerobic oxygen I came across this use for

it:

quote:

" A pioneer of the use of Aerobic Oxygen in the UK is homoeopath Gordon Steward

LCH, RSHom, who has used it in his practice for over two years for a variety of

medical conditions. One which is on the increase is Candida albicans. Gordon

says that this is partly due to poor eating habits and he is tough on patients'

diets, correcting them in order to deprive the candida of its food source. " I

totally ban fermented items such as wine and vinegar, plus yeast, sugar,

mushrooms and other fungi and aim to strengthen the immune system. Even so, when

candida has gained a stronghold, treatment has generally been painfully slow.

However, by using Aerobic Oxygen, all the candida cases I have treated have been

free of the disease within three to five months. I use a very low dose to start

with, gradually increasing it, in order to avoid uncomfortable symptoms of

detoxification, such as stomach cramps, which occur as the candida dies. " [8]

Yes, oil of oregano is a potent anti-microbial, but can it do this?

quote: " The Author became aware of Aerobic Oxygen during a conversation with a

sufferer of arteriosclerosis, who claimed the product, which her homoeopath had

recommended to her, had saved her life. Previously, the patient's specialist had

treated her with injections of hydrogen peroxide. It is interesting to note that

if red cells clump, 20-30 drops of Aerobic Oxygen in water will separate them

after one hour.5 Suzanne was interested to see what effect the product would

have on her own blood as she had needed iron supplements for eight years to

treat a haemogloblin level that at its lowest had dropped to 6.9. During this

time no cause had been found for the iron-deficient anaemia other than a failure

to absorb iron from the diet. After three months without iron supplements, but

taking Aerobic Oxygen, Suzanne's haemoglobin level was 13.8. "

If you had read the entire article on the website I referenced (which does not

sell any products) you would see that it is used in a NUMBER of ways. And I

don't know where you got the idea that it takes oxygen out of the water? As I

understand it water is simply used as a carrier. However, the decision as to

what to take for your particular issues is yours and yours alone. I am still

trying to decide whether to use it or not but thought others might be interested

in the info I found regarding it's uses over the years.

How does oil of oregano affect herpes outbreaks? Is it internal or external?

Thanks,

....and the only thing I am sure that oregano oil does is that it is great for

toothaches and mild infections in the skin and also herpes skin outbreaks.

[Guest guest]

New term, old stuff. It is an Oxidant not and Anti-oxidant. There is a

place for this, but my opinion is that it will age you.

>Aerobic Oxygen is simply a 3% solution of sodium chlorite, and MMS is

simply a much higher concentration (23-27%) of the same thing - sodium

chlorite<.

[Guest guest]

Yeah, and so will breathing :-)

Dee:

True, but, the effect is more significant... like breathing pure

oxygen. Dr. Flanagan gave a good summary of how this works,

along with a descriptive graph, on his MicroHydrin video tape about ten

years ago.

The better way is to work in the opposite direction with Anti-oxidants,

IMHO.
