Sweet news
What is it that Jackie Gleason used to say? How sweet it is! Well, that’s what the suppliers of xylitol must have thought when they learned that new health guidelines out of Scotland recommend the natural sweetener to prevent cavities.
As long-time readers know, xylitol is a truly amazing substance. In addition to its cavity-preventive qualities, one controlled study associated its use with a re-growth of dental enamel, in effect reversing and healing existing cavities. Another study showed that breast-fed children whose mothers chewed xylitol gum during their pregnancies had less cavities than children of mothers who had fluoride treatments.
And it doesn’t end there. When it is used as an intranasal spray, xylitol can offer protection against ear and sinus infections by preventing bacteria from adhering to the cells lining the nose and sinuses. It also stimulates the body’s drainage system in the back of the nose where bacteria often accumulate.

Peripheral treatment
Q: I would do anything to ease the burning and tingling that I have from peripheral neuropathy. What can I do to manage it?
JVW: One of the best methods of treatment for neuropathy, as well as other nerve disorders, is the magnetic molecular energizer (MME), a machine that transmits powerful electromagnetic energy, allowing the body to heal faster.
Those who have undergone the therapy report great success with it. In some cases, it has completely cured their symptoms. For more information on this treatment, refer to the April 2004 and July 2005 issues of Nutrition & Healing (subscribers can view these issue for free by visiting www.wrightnewsletter.com and logging in with the username and password listed on page 8 of your most recent issue). There are currently five clinics in the United States that offer this therapy. For a list of these clinics, contact the Advanced Magnetic Research Institute (AMRI) International at (800)265-1119.
MME treatments are generally billed on an hourly basis, and usually run about $50 per hour. It can add up. But keep in mind that, as expensive as it can be, MME’s healing effects on otherwise “incurable” problems can also be well worth the price tag.

What is…peripheral neuropathy?
The peripheral nervous system includes all nerves not in the brain or spinal cord. Neuropathy is any disruption of messages between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. This disruption could occur because of disease, inflammation, or damage to the nerves. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, burning sensations, muscle weakness, and atrophy.
