    I guess I owe a few people an apology after that comment, however I will put forward some mitigating circumstances for it........ 

     

    I have some posters who decide to put laughing emojis on just about everything I post, and even if I posted that a family member had died, they would put a laughing emoji on it. I believe I know who they are, and on the one hand I usually dismiss them as idiots, but this time I went too far, so my apologies to those whom I offended.

     

    Also my post basically asked the question, "xylitol is a natural plant sugar – – so how would that help with sinusitis?". So that in itself should not have garnered laughing emojis IMO, but it did.

     

    Some quick research has shown that it can have a beneficial effect: "xylitol has been hypothesized to be beneficial not only for respiratory tract infections but also for the treatment of sinusitis". National Institutes of Health (.gov).

     

    Having suffered from sinusitis for many years, I tried saline sinus rinses and that worked extremely well for me.

    Once again, my apologies to those whom I offended.

    The problem with saline is that it can dry out your nasal passages. The way Xyiltol works is that it is type of cleaning agent, soap, it is sticky and natural so it removes any irritants and coats your sinus..

     

    Have you considered what is causing your allergies and just avoiding it?  Likely mold because we are in the monsoon.
