X-Ceptic®
One of Dr. christopher's formulas
Herbal antiseptic: Oak Bark, Golden Seal Root, Myrrh, Comfrey, Garlic and Capsicum in a grain alcohol base.
Good for infection, both external or internal.
X-ceptic is an excellent formula for pyorrhea.
For wounds with the chance of infection, apply X-ceptic.
X-Ceptic is a certain cure for sore throat pain, but only very brave souls can tolerate the taste.
X-Ray
to examine, treat, or photograph with X rays. X ray:
- 1. any of the electromagnetic radiations of the same nature as visible radiation but of an extremely short wavelength less than 100 angstroms that is produced by bombarding a metallic target with fast electrons in vacuum or by transition of atoms to lower energy states and that has the properties of ionizing a gas upon passage through it, of penetrating various thicknesses of all solids, of producing secondary radiations by impinging on material bodies, of acting on photographic films and plates as light does, and of causing fluorescent screens to emit light.
- 2. a photograph obtained by use of X rays.
Xylitol
Another safe natural sweetener is xylitol, found in certain vegetables, plums,
strawberries, raspberries, and in birch trees. Unlike table sugar, xylitol does not trigger insulin
release, making it an ideal sweetener for diabetics. Also, unlike table sugar and fructose, xylitol
does not create an acid environment in the mouth, thus reducing tooth enamel erosion and
formation of plaque-forming bacteria in the mouth. For this reason xylitol-laced chewing gum
helps knock out infections that start in the mouth (chew the gum for 5-10 minutes several times a
day). The incidence of middle ear infections (otitis media) in children is increasing greatly, and is
usually addressed.by massive antibiotic use by MDs which is harmful and leads to return of the
malady in an increased intensity, or by harmful surgical use of ear tubes. In contrast, research in
Finland showed a 40% decrease in these infections in children after two months of chewing xylitol-
laced gum; these results have been largely ignored in the USA (the number one reason for
children’s visits to MDs is recurrent middle ear infections!). Most gum manufacturers in the USA
use sorbitol as sweetener to lower costs; sorbitol is better than table sugar, but xylitol is far more
effective (sold in the USA as “Xylifresh?chewing gum).
