Allergy season isn’t what it used to be. In 2026, Americans are facing an invisible storm sweeping coast to coast — a “Pollen Tsunami” supercharged by rising CO₂ levels and 21 extra days of allergy-inducing chaos each year. Dr. Adam Brockman kicks off *Health Talk America* with a high-energy look into this new reality, exposing how climate shifts are mutating the very pollen we breathe into “super pollen” — stickier, meaner, and more allergenic than ever before. From Boise’s shocking spot as the new allergy capital to the simple, science-backed practice that could transform how you breathe—Dr. Brockman challenges the traditional “pill for every ill” mindset and introduces a revolutionary concept: nasal hygiene. This monologue will change the way you think about allergies, medicine, and your own biology.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good day, Health talk America. Family, Welcome to another hour
of The Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host today,
doctor Adam Brockman, and I'm absolutely fired up to be
with you this hour. We're broadcasting live across this great nation.
And let me tell you if you are listening to
me through a fog of brain fog where you have
(01:22):
a scratchy throat and your eyes feel like they've been
rubbed with sandpaper. I want you to pull up a chair.
You're not crazy, You're not just getting a cold, and
you're old. Over the counter allergy pill isn't working for
a very specific, very shocking reason. We are officially in
(01:43):
the middle of what scientists are calling a pollen tsunami,
and folks, the rules of the game have changed. We
aren't just dealing with more pollen anymore. We are dealing
with something much more sinister. We're talking about super pollen.
For decades, we've talked about allergy season like a predictable guest.
(02:06):
It shows up in late March, it hangs out for
a few weeks, and then it leaves. But look outside now,
that yellow dust that's coating your car. It's not just
a nuisance. It's the plants kicking our butt. And recent
data is showing us that the rising CO two levels
in our atmosphere are doing something terrifying to the plant kingdom.
(02:29):
It's essentially pumping iron for weeds in trees, and when
plants are exposed to these elevated carbon levels. They don't
just grow faster, they produce pollen at a significantly higher
rate that's more aggressive, and research indicates that the pollen
we are breathing today has a much higher concentration of
(02:52):
allergens and allergic proteins than it did even ten years ago.
So it's not just more pollen, it's meaner pollen. It's
protein dense, it's stickier, and it's designed to trigger a
more violent immune response in our bodies. It's like your
immune system used to be fighting a few toddlers with pillows,
(03:16):
and now it's effacing a full line of professional heavyweight boxers.
This is why you feel like your symptoms are are
They're just not breaking through with your medication, your body.
It's being hit by a mutated version of nature's reproductive dust.
But the super poll pollen, it isn't the only problem.
(03:41):
We've also lost our off season, So if you feel
like your allergy started back in February and won't quit
until July, you're right. Since the nineteen seventies, we have
gained roughly twenty one extra freeze free days in the
growing season, so that is three full weeks of extra
(04:01):
pollen production. We have essentially eliminated the break our immune
system used to get. This has created a tsunami effect
where the pollination cycles of trees and grasses and weeds,
which used to happen in neat, separate windows, are now
overlapping in one giant, chaotic mess. We are seeing this
(04:25):
huge increase in patients reporting a multi trigger allergy symptoms
where they are have been used to being hit by
oak or ragweed in grass, but now it's being hit
with them all at the same time. It's an atmospheric
pile up in your sinuses. Are the crash site? Now
(04:47):
I want to talk to you about a very specific
shocker from the AAFA, and that's the Asthma and Allergy
Foundation of America and this report. You know, we're looking
at it and then we're looking thinking. For years, we
thought of the Mountain West as this sanctuary. You go
to the mountains to get away from the smog and
(05:08):
the pollen. Right. Well, this report just crowned Boise, Idaho
as the number one most challenging city in America for
allergy suffier it suffers. We're talking about Boise here. This
is a place that has known for clean mountain air
has become the epicenter of the pollen tsunami, and this
(05:28):
is quite the shift, and it's a perfect example of
how no corner of the country is immune to the
super pollen phenomenon. And interestingly enough, our guest today grew
up in a small town in Idaho, so he's seen
this transition from pristine air to this pollen soup firsthand.
And it's also one of the reasons he became so
(05:51):
obsessed with nasal health. So we're gonna be talking to
him in just a few minutes about seasonal allergies. Here
is where I'm going to get a little provocative, so
I want you to stay with me. For the last
fifty years, most in healthcare have been doing it all wrong.
(06:12):
They've told us that the answer to allergies is to
wait until you're miserable and then swallow a pill that
drives your body out completely. Think about this logic for
a second. Your nose is running because it desperately is
trying to wash away the super pollen that is stuck
in your nasal membrane, and your body is trying to
(06:32):
clean itself. And what do we do. We take an
antahistamine that shuts down this cleaning process and it dries
up the mucus and it leaves this aggressive protein dense
pollen sit right there on your sensitive tissue to cause
even more inflammation. So we continue to be obsessed with
masking symptoms instead of addressing the source. So think about this.
(06:57):
If you have dirt on your hand, do you take
a pill to stop that irritation or do you wash
your hand? So let's look at the body as a machine.
Your nose is the air filter for your entire body.
Every single day, you breathe in about ten thousand liters
of air in the air. Now, this air is packed
(07:19):
with super pollen and pollutants and pathogens. So if you've
never changed the air filter in your car, the engine
eventually would seize up. And if you've never cleaned the
filter in your HVAC system in your home, your house
would be filthy. So why on the earth are we
not washing our biological filters? And this is that concept
(07:43):
of nasal hygiene. It's the missing link in wellness. We
brush our teeth to prevent two deque, we wash our
skin to prevent infection, but we leave the most vulnerable,
the most absorbent part of our respiratory system, and that's
the nasal passage completely neglected while it gets hammered by
(08:04):
this pollen tsunami. And we need to stop trying to
medicate out our way out of this dirty filter and
start washing our way into health. And that's the longevity
secret no one is talking about. When you keep those
nasal passages clear and hydrated, you are just stopping a sneeze.
(08:24):
You're reducing the toxic load on your entire immune system.
You are giving your body a fighting chance to focus
on other things like repair and recovery and energy. So
coming up after the break, we have this phenomenal guest
who is going to change the way we think about
(08:44):
your nose forever. He's the man who's pioneered the use
of xylotol in nasal sprays to help wash that filter.
So we're going to be talking about his incredible journey
from being a commercial diver where where he had to
have clear sinuses and that's a literally it's a matter
of life or death. And now he's this global leader
(09:07):
in nasal health. So he's gonna explain the science of
why this super pollen can't stick to your nose if
you use the right tools. And Folks, if you've got
questions about your own sinus health, or if you're tired
of that dry mouth, that fogy brain side of the
traditional medications, I want you to go ahead and get
(09:31):
in touch with us. You can call us with your

don't want you to go anywhere. We're gonna continue to
help arm you with the tools to survive this pollen
tsunami and take control of your respiratory health. And also,
if you've got questions about your health and the symptoms
they seem to just pop up out of nowhere, these
are important signals that you shouldn't ignore. And the great
(10:14):
part is you don't have to wait forever to talk

All right, I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and this is Health
Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Arden Show. And we
write back after these messages.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
What if I was.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Welcome back to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and today we're going
to dive deep into a topic that is currently causing
a large amount of misery across the country, and that's
seasonal allergies. Right now and estimated fifty million Americans are
locked in a battle with pollen and dander and you
didn't even mold. It's a literal war on your airways.
(11:36):
But before you reach for that bottle of pills that
leaves you feeling like a zombie, I want you to
listen into our conversation today with our special guest joining
us today is Nathan Jones. And he is the CEO
of Clear and Nathan isn't your typical corporate executive. He
comes from a family of fourteen children, so his family
knows a thing that or two about immune resilience. And
(11:59):
he's been a commerce diver in the oil fields of
Louisiana and he served many mission trips abroad. He found
it Clear with a singular mission and that is to
improve the lives through proactive health. With that, I want
to welcome Nathan Jones to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
How are you today, Nathan, I'm doing great.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's a great sunny day here in Utah and I'm
having a great time looking forward to having a good conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I am too, Nate, and Nate, you know, doctor Bob
and I were big believers in what you and your father,
doctor Jones, have been saying for years, and that is
to keep your nose clean and with that you can
stay healthy. And in order for your nose to do
its job well, it needs to be hydrated. In Clear
nasal sprays, they help help you take good care of
(12:45):
your nasal passages naturally, and that makes a big difference
in everyone's health, especially during this peak allergy season, and Nate,
we know these these allergens, they're spreading like wildfire right now.
And research shows that allergy seasons they're just getting longer
and more intense every single year. And in most commercials
(13:06):
on TV or the radio, they tell us to just
pop an antai histamine. So I want you to tell
our listeners why why we shouldn't be relying on those
antahistamines this season, and what exactly is an antihistamine and
where the risk associated with taking one?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Well, there's a number of risks with them. But but
you know, I want to make it clear that I'm
not an anti pharmaceutical product guy. I understand the value
of having the availability of pharmaceuticals, but I do believe
that in our culture and in our society, we're over
medicating ourselves. And you know, you can take antahistamines and
(13:45):
decongests and nasal jewelaries like from Tikazone, and what all
of these products are designed to do is open up
your air way and they do it by blocking your
body's immune response. Okay, so we're fighting against our body's
immune system when we use these products. And what you're
what what you're doing is when you when you're when
(14:08):
you breathe something in that your body perceives as a threat,
whether it's pollen, dand or, whether it's bacteria or a virus.
Your first line of defense is to make more fucus,
to make more snot to trap it so it doesn't
get into your lungs. And what happens is you you know,
I know this doesn't sound great. I know, hopefully you're
not eating your breakfast or lunch while you're listening to this,
(14:28):
But we eat about it, you know, two cups of
snot a day of mucus, a day just swallowing when
you clear your throat and whatnot. And what happens is
all of this mucus, all of this, these bacteria and
viruses and dand or and pollen, all of this goes
into our stomach and then it goes into our intestines
and our body. There's there's these little things in our
in our intestines called the payers patches, but those are
(14:50):
actually looking at pathogens that come in and they and
our body will actually build immunity to those things. You know,
I mean, I'll use COVID because everybody knows about it.
But you know, COVID they always have these people who
were magically they had an asymptomatic infection, which to me,
that's kind of a dumb thing to say. If you
don't have an infection, then you weren't sick, but you
(15:10):
have the antibodies for it, and that's because your immune
system was working correctly. Would you breathe it in and
you get trapped in your mucus, you'd swallow it, The
acids in your stomach would neutralize it. You go through
your gut and make the antibodies and you're all good.
But if and that's the way your immune system works
the best. But if what we're doing is we're breathing
(15:32):
in some pollen, or we're in a dry climate and
we get a little congested. If we go in and
do what you know, the medical establishment tells us to do, Oh,
just get a decongestion, get an antihistamy and get a
get a nasal steroid, go use some ticozone or some
as the last you know, something like that. What you're
doing is you're just blocking your body's ability to make mucus.
(15:53):
So you're brought blocking your body's ability to do its job.
And the better thing to do would to be used
as sailing spray or even better yet, using nasal spray
with zolotol, because the xylotal nasal sprays they last longer,
they block bacteria, they block viruses, all the you know,
the stuff that are normal sailing doesn't. And that's actually
gonna can that will get you the same goal, but
(16:15):
one hundred and eighty degree difference because it's supporting your
immune system and this functioning airway, the functioning method that
you're that you naturally are going to clean your airway
as opposed to blocking it.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
And that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Absolutely, And I do want our listeners to know if
you do take antahistamines for seasonal allergies, it's exactly what
you said. You may have noticed that it has these
these negative side effects which include the dried sinuses, the
dry mouth, and then you start going into dizziness and
drowsiness and sometimes even nausea. So these dry sinuses, on
(16:51):
top of being troublesome as far as a running nose goes,
it can lead to risk of other illnesses. Since what
you said that that mucus in the nasal, in the
sinus passages, they are there to protect the airway from
and also the body from those airborne pathogens. So on
top of that, when you talk about I think you
(17:12):
mentioned a study that shows that your body can even
develop a clinical tolerance to antahistamine medication during during allergy season.
So in some of these cases, this resistance to the anahistamines,
it's developed within about seven to twenty days of using
this medication. So this reality Nate, which we talk about,
(17:34):
if you think about it, for those listening, within just
one to three weeks, your body's already stopped. It's stopping
to respond to the drugs that you're trying to rely
on here. So I want you to explain in a
few minutes what it is that xylotol does to basically
rehydrate and protect that nasal cavity.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
So can I put something out? I'm going to make
some references to some studies, and rather than tell everybody
what the studies are, I'm just going to tell you
where you can go find all of them, because I
would and I actually very much encourage people to go
to our web page. It's clear dot com x L
E R dot com, and there's a menu just dropped
(18:17):
down and has said professional studies. All the studies that
I'm referencing, they're all published. We put a little blurb
on it on that and then you can click the
link and go through and read the study itself, because
I want people to know that I'm not just making
this stuff up, but the way that xylotol works. So
my dad first started to use he's a physician, and
he first started using xylotol in a nasal spring in
(18:37):
nineteen ninety eight. And he did it because he'd read
these studies about how xylotol blocked STREPNUMO, H flu, and MCAT.
Those are three pathogens that live in your upper airway.
But he read a study showing how they blocked the
ability of those pathogens to adhere to the tissue in
the airway. And he sat there and he goes, you
know what, I have all these kids that are having
recurrent air infections. If it blocks the their ability of
(19:00):
the bacteria to adhere, then it's probably going to help
reduce ear infections. And so he actually bost some xylotol,
poured it into a into a saline spray, sprayed it
up these kids nose. They all stopped getting sick. Okay,
but the big thing is is that when you started
using it on more patients and older patients, because people
who have chronic ear infections also usually have other respiratory issues.
(19:24):
But people who had chronic allergies and seasonal allergies who
started using this, it also helped them and they would
a lot of times they'd have a cleansing moment where
a whole bunch of mucus comes out because you're having
a build up in your airway. So, but what the
xylotol does is the xylotol helps break up biofilms. Okay,
(19:45):
we know that. And if you have chronic respiratory issues,
whether it's sinus infections, whether it's respiratory allergies or stuff
like that. There's papers out there in the medical literature
where they talk about it. One was done by a
doctor and where he pointed out that if you have
chronic respiratory issues like that that keep coming back, chances
are probably close to ninety nine point ninety percent that
(20:05):
you have a biofilm in your upper airway. And a
biofilm is just like plaque on your teeth. It's a
it's a colony of bacteria that are growing and hanging
on there. But anyways, but that's one of the ways
that xylotal works. The other one is is that it
stays in your mucus and it osmonically pulls moisture out
of the tissue. So it's going to keep your mucus hydrated.
(20:25):
So it's trapping more and pulling more of these pollen
and dander and bacteria viruses away from the tissue and
flushing them away faster than what a regular sailing would do.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, Nate, let's get back into that conversation after the break,
and folks, I want you to stay with us when
we come back. We're going to talk about how Clear
nasal sprays, which is a readily available option at many
stores that you're already shopping. It's actually working with your
body and not against it. Again, stick with us, We're
talking Nate Jones of Clear. You're listening to the Doctor
(20:55):
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Are you waiting on a line next stake for the
perfect night? How are you waiting to the time is right?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But you learn to deal with data?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Do you want to take the wildest him? Welcome back
to Health Talk America presents The Doctor Bob Martin Show.
America's number one health talk radio program. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and today we're talking with Nathan Jones, the CEO of Clear,
and we're talking about how you can reclaim your quality
of life during allergy season. So we've established that the
(21:38):
nose needs to be clean and hydrated, but sometimes that
that standard sailing isn't enough when that pollen count continues
to go through the roof. So so Nate, I want
you to to tell our listeners, for those who are
already in the thick of this allergy season, what specific
Clear products do you recommend to help them get over
(21:58):
this this hump during our season?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Well, I would you know. I use the Clear nasal
spray every morning, every evening. I put it with my
toothbrussure that every time I brush my teeth, I clean
my nose. I mean, those are your two gateway microbiomes
where the vast majority, I mean nearly ninety nine percent
of all the pathogens that enter your body and your
body through your nose in your mouth. Some people say
the eyes are included in that, but the eyes just
(22:24):
drained into the nose, so it's still the nose they
drain through the lachrymal dot, so it's really still the nose,
and so you should use I mean, it's a hygiene tool.
It's not a drug, it's not a pharmaceuticals. It's a
hygiene tool. It's like a bar soap, it's like toothpaste.
It's there to help clean your nose, just like we
wash our mouth. We should be. It just makes sense
(22:46):
to wash our nose. And so we have one that
is it's just a xylotol solution that helps clean that
and open it up. And when we started the company,
my dad and I mentioned this in the last seven
was using it because we understood that it blocked bacteria.
But after about four years of being in business, we
actually pulled some of our consumers, our customers, and said, hey,
(23:08):
what are you using it for? What are the best
results you see? And most of our consumers, surprise, surprise,
we're actually using it for allergies. And that really surprised us.
And so you know, when you make a line extension,
you know something else. We made something that would help
people with seasonal allergies, and what we came up with
was clear Max and it has a little bit of
(23:28):
cap station in it, which is kind of a natural anahistamine.
It's not a pharmaceutical product. It's just a little bit
of cap station. And again, the goal is is to
use as to help reduce the use of pharmaceutical products.
And so if you know that you're going to have
seasonal allergies in April, May, June, springtime, or fall, then
(23:50):
when that time comes along, just start using the clear Max.
And the goal is to make it so that you
don't have to use the pharmaceutical products as much because
you know, you mentioned some of the side effects from
some of the anahistamies, and so you know, one of
the crazy things is the most common product, the most
common product used by people that have respiratory allergies is
(24:11):
actually flutikosone and the physicians are handing that out to
kids like it's candy. But the number one side effect
that's listed in that is that it stunts their growth.
So that's why we want people to use That's why
we want people to use the fewest number of pharmaceuticals
that you can is because pharmaceuticals usually have some not
very happy side effects. And so but and and before
(24:34):
the end of this year, we'll actually have improved that
clear Max product. I'm actually really excited. We're gonna, we're gonna,
we're improving it right now. It's it's instability testing and
I'm excited for it. It'll be new. We'll talk about
it next time. But anyways, and then the other thing
you have is if you are super congested, like in
the morning when you wake up. We do not encourage
(24:55):
people to do this a lot, but we have a
big like a Natty pot rinse bottle hype volume, and
we don't encourage people to use this a lot because
it does clean out the entire protective layer of mucus,
and that isn't always a good thing. But if you
wake up in the morning and you're breathing through your
mouth and your nose is completely closed, it might be
something you need to use every now and then. And
(25:17):
so we do have that for extreme cases. So those
are the products that we have that can help with
with seasonal allergies.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah, Nate, I've got to tell you the clear Max
I feel like that's a game changer for everyone. But
but as far as I use it a lot with
my athlete patients, say what you said, that casation. It
provides that that zine that opens the airways. Basically, I
guess faster, and you can say seasonal relief and then
(25:46):
and then you talk about your your rescue formula. It's
got the oregano and the tea tree.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Those those are botanical medicine, and you can get those
ini microbial benefits of those oils exactly where you need
them the most, which is in your nasal cavity in
this case. So it's a great way to have these
these tools readily available and they don't come with that
drowsy warning label. I often tell my patients that using
(26:14):
clear is like washing your hands before your nose. So
we wouldn't we wouldn't think of going through a day
without washing our hands, especially during during the flu season
or allergy season. So why are we not doing this
with our nasal passages? You know, they are the filter
of our bodies, and when when they get clogged with
(26:34):
pollen and pollution on weeks on end, it causes our
immune system take a hit. So it's it's oftentimes it's
shocking how we ignore nasal hygiene. So Nate, for the
folks listening who are struggling right now, what are some
of your top pro tips for managing these seasonal type
of allergy symptoms.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
The top things that I would highly recommend is one,
use a a nasal spray that hydrates your mucosa, preferably
clear x L E A R. Preferably that one, because
that's ours. And I might be a little biased, but
I'm gonna say that's the best one. If you can't
find it, you know, you can find it online, but
(27:16):
use a saline if you can't find a Xyloton nasal spray.
The other thing is make sure you're drinking a lot
of water, because if you're not hydrated, then your mucus
is going to dry out. If you're drinking a lot
of coffee or caffeinated drinks, those are all gonna dry
you out. Also other things, make sure you change your
air filters. I mean you should always change your air filters.
(27:39):
You know, if you have seasonal allergies in the spring,
change your air filters in April. You know, if they're
in the fall, change them in August. You know, change
them so you have those are all clean. Make sure
you're not opening your windows. And a big one that
people don't really think about is take a shower before
you go to bed, especially if you have a lot
of hair. I don't have that problem, but you know,
if people have a lot of hair, then you're trapping
(28:01):
that pollen and whatever that allergen is in your hair
and then you're going to bed and you're just rolling
around in it all night. But those are those are
some of the things that that I would do. I
would take. I would watch the pollen count and you know,
and there's there's a couple of herbal things that you
can do, and I would go talk to an herbalist
about it, and if and if those don't help you
(28:24):
reduce it, at that point, I would probably go talk
to a physician about it and figure a way to
do it. But the last thing I would do is
go to the physician first, because all they're going to
do is tell you not to do any of the
other stuff. Just take a take an anahystemeter de congestion.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah. Yeah. So, so the few things that Nate mentioned
there is to be aware of that pollen count, to
to close your your windows, especially during an allergy season,
and wash wash your beds, your linens fairly often, change
your filter in your house, and then of course wash
(29:00):
your nose with with clear nasal sprays, which again I
do daily myself. I do it, I think Nate I
told you that I do it every every time before
the show, just to make sure that that I can
to make it make it through without coughing or or
you know, having any any change in that mucus. It's
a great way to just keep me hydrated through the
(29:21):
nasal cavity. But these are these are foundational habits for
anyone looking to optimize their health. And and I really
like that shower tip because if you've been outside, you're
covered in that microscopic pollen. And if you don't shower
before bed, like you said, you're rolling around in those
allergens for for maybe that eight hours. I hope you're
getting eight hours of sleep, so that gives you that
(29:42):
allergy hanover that next morning. All Right, folks, we got
a lot more to cover, including including a new development
that Nate told me about today, So I want to
want to make sure you're sticking around for that. You're
listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Numba and we are back.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and you're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. Folks, your participation in the show is encouraged,
and if you have health related questions, I want you
to give us a call at eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two to two. Again that's eight hundred
six zero six eight eight two to two. Maybe you
have a question about what we're talking about today, which
(30:43):
is seasonal allergies, and before u before we started the
show today, Nate brought up a very interesting conversation that
I think I think most of our listeners need to
know about two and that is that Clear is going
to be able to offer some saliva testing so you
know exactly some of the what bacteria is is taking
(31:06):
place in those portal of entry points, which is your
nasal cavity and your oral cavity, which again you hear
us talk about the oral cavity often on the show
and Nate's great products that he produces with the Spray
dental Defense system. So Nate, I want you to just
start with how that studying xylotol through the years with
(31:28):
your dad, doctor Jones, and yourself, how this came to
be that you noticed that the oral and the nasal
cavities were that portal of entry, and how xylotol helped
with that.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So the studies behind xylotol actually started, I guess you
could say they started during World War Two. They knew
what xylotol was, they knew that it was a sugar,
that it's a natural sugar, by the way, and it
was discovered in the late eighteen hundreds by French and
German chemists roughly about the same time. But because it's
more expensive than glucose and fruit toase to manufacture, nobody
(32:05):
did anything with it. But during World War two, the
Finish people, they were a neutral country, but they didn't
have any sugar sources, and so they started making xylotol
and they started using that as a sweetener. And it
wasn't for about twenty years before the dentist started realizing
that the kids that grew up during the war didn't
have cavities, and so in the sixties, twenty years after
(32:26):
the war, they started doing studies looking at what happened
during the war that caused the kids not to have
tooth decay. And what they've found was that the xylotol
is actually killing off the strip mutants. Bacteria's making your
mouth inhospitable to the strip mutantse the caryogenic the bacteria
that are taking sugars that we eat, breaking them down,
making them into acids, and that acid is what dissolves
(32:47):
the enamel of your teeth. Okay, it's great. I mean
dentistry for all of its advancements that we've had over
the last seventy five hundred years, dentistry as a as
the field has never allowed a product on the market
or endorsed a product. Let me put it that way.
The ADA they endorse fluoride, and if your product doesn't
(33:11):
have fluoride, and if they do not endorse it to
prevent toothaka. This is the perfect example of how our
healthcare system loves to treat the symptom and ignore the
cause because fluoride doesn't really have that much of an
effect on the strep utense bacteria. It just makes your
enamel more resistant to the infection. Xylotol gets rid of
(33:31):
the infection. That's what it does. And we're not saying
use xylotol instead of fluorid. You should always use a product,
and there's a number of them out there, but you
should always use a product that treats the infection, like sylotol.
You can use a rythrotol. There's other things out there
and something that hardens your enamel. If you choose to
use fluoride, use fluoride. If you choose to use hydroxy appetite,
(33:53):
use hydroxy appetite. They both work about the same one
is significantly safer than the other. Or you can use
what we use, which is a product called sodium trimeta phosphate. Again,
it's a natural product, but they have studies going back
to the seventies and eighties showing that it works about
thirty five percent better than fluoride does at strengthening and
hardening your enamel. But because it's not fluoride, the ADA
(34:16):
and the FDA won't allow you to talk about it,
which crazy, but they were doing studies with xylotol. Most
of the studies of xylotol have been in oral hygiene,
in you know, preventing toothicka And as I got into
that industry, it was pretty bizarre that the dentists haven't
(34:38):
been treating the bacterial infection. And there have been a
number of dentists who have put out these who have
started companies that wanted that to happen. I'm trying to
think of how to describe this, because it's just so
crazy when I think about it. You know, when you
go into the doctor, when you go into the physician
and you have a respiratory infection or a sore throat
(35:00):
or something, you know, unless there's something really common going around,
the doctor will say, hey, let's swab it, let's get
a culture, let's see what we have. Dentists have that
same technology. They have the same ability. When you walk
into the dental office, the first thing they should do
is say, hey, you know what spit in this cup.
We're going to go test it, and we're going to
tell you what pathogens you have in your mouth, and
we're going to treat those bacterial infections so you don't
(35:21):
have more carried on, you don't have any more periodonal disease,
you don't have any more cavities. You know, they're going
to take that and say, hey, these are the pathogens
you have in your mouth. These are products that you
can use to get rid of those bacteria. And so
there have been a number of dentists that have actually
put products on the market where they're targeting and trying
to get dentists to use them, and they haven't been successful. Okay,
(35:44):
they haven't been successful because for some reason the dentists
don't really want to find out and treat tooth decay
like the bacterial infection that it is. So we have
now we're working with a lab and we're actually developing
a test that you'll be able to get from us,
no dentist involved, and you can use it for educational purposes.
It's not being we don't want you using it to diagnose,
(36:07):
but we want you understanding what bacteria in your mouth
and what not just tooth ocake, not the periodotom disease,
but what systemic illnesses are associated with the pathogens in
your mouth, and the test will actually tell you that,
and we should have that within the next ninety days.
I'm hoping sixty, but let's say ninety.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Okay, And when we come back from break, Nate, I
want you to just describe that just a little bit more,
what that test may involve, and what we're looking at
like with that, and how important it is to know
what bacteria you have in that oral cavity. Again, we're
talking with Nathan Jones, the CEO of Clear and of
course we'll just have been talking about the spread dental
(36:48):
defense system. All right, folks, stick around, you're going to
want to hear this last little bit with Nathan Jones.
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin shoe.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
What Doesn't kill your Mexus side?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
All right, we are in our home stretch here on
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host, Doctor Adam Brockman,
and I want to thank Nathan Jones for joining us
today and sharing his expertise on how we can breathe
easier and nate before before we let you go today,
I'm gonna go ahead and remind our listeners exactly where
they can arm themselves with Clear in the Spry Dental
(37:32):
Defense System. So you can find Clear in Spry online
at clear dot com. That's spelling the spell out the
word x L e A R as far as Clear goes.
And then you can look for retailers Walgreens, CBS, Vitamin Shop, Target, Kroger, Sprouts,
Natural Grossers and most natural product retailers nationwide. And if
(37:54):
you look online, you can find find Clear in Spry
at Amazon, ierb, Lucky, Vitamin Invita cost Oh okay, and also,
folks don't forget to follow them on Facebook by looking
up Clear incorporated. Also on Instagram and through spry you
can look spry smile and that's sp r y and
(38:14):
there you can learn more about the xylotol products, the
great products that Clear has to keep your oral and
nasal passages healthy. All right, So thanks again, Nathan, it's
been a pleasure. We got just a minute or two left,
so I want you to just describe what folks can
get when they do that bacterial test to saliva test
through Clear.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Well, we don't have all the system worked out, but
what you're going to do is you call into us.
We're gonna have it on our web page. I don't
know that we're gonna put anywhere else. We'd chip it
out to you. And all you do is is you
open it up. There's instructions. You spit in a little file,
you seal it up and you I mean they'll put
some salt water and you switch it around your mouth.
You spit into a little tube, you seal it up,
(38:57):
you put it back in the package, you mail it off,
and it's like two weeks later they'll actually email you
and they have to figure all this out with the
hipp of rules. But because it's not a diagnostic you
don't have to follow the hip rules. So you know,
it's like twenty three meters. It's just from educational information.
But anyways, we're not going to keep any of it.
(39:19):
We're not gonna you know. But anyways, you can look
at that and you can go down the list and
it will tell you the pathogens that cause tooth decay.
You can see if you have them, the pathogens that
cause you know, a whole host of systemic illnesses, and
the pathogens the oral pathogens that are associated with that.
So if you have some that cause heart disease, you
(39:39):
have some that are associated with Alzheimer's, you can go
into the to your dentists and say, hey, look it,
I have these pathogens. What can we do to treat
these pathogens? And your dentists can help you diagnose and
use that as a diagnostic tool and tell you, and
hopefully they're smart enough to teach you, is what products
you can use.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
And those I would like to go ahead and say
are the Spread Dental Defense system, which again again my
entire family uses. We use the clear nasal sprays, especially
during this season. I use it on a daily basis.
So again today we've been talking with Nathan Jones. Thank
you Nathan for joining us. He's the CEO of Clear

six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good day, Health talk America. Family, Welcome to another hour
of The Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host today,
doctor Adam Brockman, and I'm absolutely fired up to be
with you this hour. We're broadcasting live across this great nation.
And let me tell you if you are listening to
me through a fog of brain fog where you have
(01:22):
a scratchy throat and your eyes feel like they've been
rubbed with sandpaper. I want you to pull up a chair.
You're not crazy, You're not just getting a cold, and
you're old. Over the counter allergy pill isn't working for
a very specific, very shocking reason. We are officially in
(01:43):
the middle of what scientists are calling a pollen tsunami,
and folks, the rules of the game have changed. We
aren't just dealing with more pollen anymore. We are dealing
with something much more sinister. We're talking about super pollen.
For decades, we've talked about allergy season like a predictable guest.
(02:06):
It shows up in late March, it hangs out for
a few weeks, and then it leaves. But look outside now,
that yellow dust that's coating your car. It's not just
a nuisance. It's the plants kicking our butt. And recent
data is showing us that the rising CO two levels
in our atmosphere are doing something terrifying to the plant kingdom.
(02:29):
It's essentially pumping iron for weeds in trees, and when
plants are exposed to these elevated carbon levels. They don't
just grow faster, they produce pollen at a significantly higher
rate that's more aggressive, and research indicates that the pollen
we are breathing today has a much higher concentration of
(02:52):
allergens and allergic proteins than it did even ten years ago.
So it's not just more pollen, it's meaner pollen. It's
protein dense, it's stickier, and it's designed to trigger a
more violent immune response in our bodies. It's like your
immune system used to be fighting a few toddlers with pillows,
(03:16):
and now it's effacing a full line of professional heavyweight boxers.
This is why you feel like your symptoms are are
They're just not breaking through with your medication, your body.
It's being hit by a mutated version of nature's reproductive dust.
But the super poll pollen, it isn't the only problem.
(03:41):
We've also lost our off season, So if you feel
like your allergy started back in February and won't quit
until July, you're right. Since the nineteen seventies, we have
gained roughly twenty one extra freeze free days in the
growing season, so that is three full weeks of extra
(04:01):
pollen production. We have essentially eliminated the break our immune
system used to get. This has created a tsunami effect
where the pollination cycles of trees and grasses and weeds,
which used to happen in neat, separate windows, are now
overlapping in one giant, chaotic mess. We are seeing this
(04:25):
huge increase in patients reporting a multi trigger allergy symptoms
where they are have been used to being hit by
oak or ragweed in grass, but now it's being hit
with them all at the same time. It's an atmospheric
pile up in your sinuses. Are the crash site? Now
(04:47):
I want to talk to you about a very specific
shocker from the AAFA, and that's the Asthma and Allergy
Foundation of America and this report. You know, we're looking
at it and then we're looking thinking. For years, we
thought of the Mountain West as this sanctuary. You go
to the mountains to get away from the smog and
(05:08):
the pollen. Right. Well, this report just crowned Boise, Idaho
as the number one most challenging city in America for
allergy suffier it suffers. We're talking about Boise here. This
is a place that has known for clean mountain air
has become the epicenter of the pollen tsunami, and this
(05:28):
is quite the shift, and it's a perfect example of
how no corner of the country is immune to the
super pollen phenomenon. And interestingly enough, our guest today grew
up in a small town in Idaho, so he's seen
this transition from pristine air to this pollen soup firsthand.
And it's also one of the reasons he became so
(05:51):
obsessed with nasal health. So we're gonna be talking to
him in just a few minutes about seasonal allergies. Here
is where I'm going to get a little provocative, so
I want you to stay with me. For the last
fifty years, most in healthcare have been doing it all wrong.
(06:12):
They've told us that the answer to allergies is to
wait until you're miserable and then swallow a pill that
drives your body out completely. Think about this logic for
a second. Your nose is running because it desperately is
trying to wash away the super pollen that is stuck
in your nasal membrane, and your body is trying to
(06:32):
clean itself. And what do we do. We take an
antahistamine that shuts down this cleaning process and it dries
up the mucus and it leaves this aggressive protein dense
pollen sit right there on your sensitive tissue to cause
even more inflammation. So we continue to be obsessed with
masking symptoms instead of addressing the source. So think about this.
(06:57):
If you have dirt on your hand, do you take
a pill to stop that irritation or do you wash
your hand? So let's look at the body as a machine.
Your nose is the air filter for your entire body.
Every single day, you breathe in about ten thousand liters
of air in the air. Now, this air is packed
(07:19):
with super pollen and pollutants and pathogens. So if you've
never changed the air filter in your car, the engine
eventually would seize up. And if you've never cleaned the
filter in your HVAC system in your home, your house
would be filthy. So why on the earth are we
not washing our biological filters? And this is that concept
(07:43):
of nasal hygiene. It's the missing link in wellness. We
brush our teeth to prevent two deque, we wash our
skin to prevent infection, but we leave the most vulnerable,
the most absorbent part of our respiratory system, and that's
the nasal passage completely neglected while it gets hammered by
(08:04):
this pollen tsunami. And we need to stop trying to
medicate out our way out of this dirty filter and
start washing our way into health. And that's the longevity
secret no one is talking about. When you keep those
nasal passages clear and hydrated, you are just stopping a sneeze.
(08:24):
You're reducing the toxic load on your entire immune system.
You are giving your body a fighting chance to focus
on other things like repair and recovery and energy. So
coming up after the break, we have this phenomenal guest
who is going to change the way we think about
(08:44):
your nose forever. He's the man who's pioneered the use
of xylotol in nasal sprays to help wash that filter.
So we're going to be talking about his incredible journey
from being a commercial diver where where he had to
have clear sinuses and that's a literally it's a matter
of life or death. And now he's this global leader
(09:07):
in nasal health. So he's gonna explain the science of
why this super pollen can't stick to your nose if
you use the right tools. And Folks, if you've got
questions about your own sinus health, or if you're tired
of that dry mouth, that fogy brain side of the
traditional medications, I want you to go ahead and get
(09:31):
in touch with us. You can call us with your
health related questions at eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two two. Again, that's eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two two, Or you can visit our website
at doctor Bob dot com. That's spelled out the word
doctor d doctr bob dot com. All right, so I
(09:52):
don't want you to go anywhere. We're gonna continue to
help arm you with the tools to survive this pollen
tsunami and take control of your respiratory health. And also,
if you've got questions about your health and the symptoms
they seem to just pop up out of nowhere, these
are important signals that you shouldn't ignore. And the great
(10:14):
part is you don't have to wait forever to talk
to a doctor. I want to tell you about our
telehealth services. It lets you connect with a healthcare provider
fast and right from your couch. There's no waiting required.
All you got to do is pick up the phone.
And you can call again our toll free hotline which
is eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two
in request a telehealth visit that number again eight hundred
(10:38):
six aero six eight A two two. You can also
do it through our website at doctor Bob dot com.
Smell at the word doctor doct o r Bob dot com.
All right, I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and this is Health
Talk America presents the Doctor Bob Arden Show. And we
write back after these messages.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
What if I was.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Welcome back to Health Talk America presents the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and today we're going
to dive deep into a topic that is currently causing
a large amount of misery across the country, and that's
seasonal allergies. Right now and estimated fifty million Americans are
locked in a battle with pollen and dander and you
didn't even mold. It's a literal war on your airways.
(11:36):
But before you reach for that bottle of pills that
leaves you feeling like a zombie, I want you to
listen into our conversation today with our special guest joining
us today is Nathan Jones. And he is the CEO
of Clear and Nathan isn't your typical corporate executive. He
comes from a family of fourteen children, so his family
knows a thing that or two about immune resilience. And
(11:59):
he's been a commerce diver in the oil fields of
Louisiana and he served many mission trips abroad. He found
it Clear with a singular mission and that is to
improve the lives through proactive health. With that, I want
to welcome Nathan Jones to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
How are you today, Nathan, I'm doing great.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's a great sunny day here in Utah and I'm
having a great time looking forward to having a good conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I am too, Nate, and Nate, you know, doctor Bob
and I were big believers in what you and your father,
doctor Jones, have been saying for years, and that is
to keep your nose clean and with that you can
stay healthy. And in order for your nose to do
its job well, it needs to be hydrated. In Clear
nasal sprays, they help help you take good care of
(12:45):
your nasal passages naturally, and that makes a big difference
in everyone's health, especially during this peak allergy season, and Nate,
we know these these allergens, they're spreading like wildfire right now.
And research shows that allergy seasons they're just getting longer
and more intense every single year. And in most commercials
(13:06):
on TV or the radio, they tell us to just
pop an antai histamine. So I want you to tell
our listeners why why we shouldn't be relying on those
antahistamines this season, and what exactly is an antihistamine and
where the risk associated with taking one?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Well, there's a number of risks with them. But but
you know, I want to make it clear that I'm
not an anti pharmaceutical product guy. I understand the value
of having the availability of pharmaceuticals, but I do believe
that in our culture and in our society, we're over
medicating ourselves. And you know, you can take antahistamines and
(13:45):
decongests and nasal jewelaries like from Tikazone, and what all
of these products are designed to do is open up
your air way and they do it by blocking your
body's immune response. Okay, so we're fighting against our body's
immune system when we use these products. And what you're
what what you're doing is when you when you're when
(14:08):
you breathe something in that your body perceives as a threat,
whether it's pollen, dand or, whether it's bacteria or a virus.
Your first line of defense is to make more fucus,
to make more snot to trap it so it doesn't
get into your lungs. And what happens is you you know,
I know this doesn't sound great. I know, hopefully you're
not eating your breakfast or lunch while you're listening to this,
(14:28):
But we eat about it, you know, two cups of
snot a day of mucus, a day just swallowing when
you clear your throat and whatnot. And what happens is
all of this mucus, all of this, these bacteria and
viruses and dand or and pollen, all of this goes
into our stomach and then it goes into our intestines
and our body. There's there's these little things in our
in our intestines called the payers patches, but those are
(14:50):
actually looking at pathogens that come in and they and
our body will actually build immunity to those things. You know,
I mean, I'll use COVID because everybody knows about it.
But you know, COVID they always have these people who
were magically they had an asymptomatic infection, which to me,
that's kind of a dumb thing to say. If you
don't have an infection, then you weren't sick, but you
(15:10):
have the antibodies for it, and that's because your immune
system was working correctly. Would you breathe it in and
you get trapped in your mucus, you'd swallow it, The
acids in your stomach would neutralize it. You go through
your gut and make the antibodies and you're all good.
But if and that's the way your immune system works
the best. But if what we're doing is we're breathing
(15:32):
in some pollen, or we're in a dry climate and
we get a little congested. If we go in and
do what you know, the medical establishment tells us to do, Oh,
just get a decongestion, get an antihistamy and get a
get a nasal steroid, go use some ticozone or some
as the last you know, something like that. What you're
doing is you're just blocking your body's ability to make mucus.
(15:53):
So you're brought blocking your body's ability to do its job.
And the better thing to do would to be used
as sailing spray or even better yet, using nasal spray
with zolotol, because the xylotal nasal sprays they last longer,
they block bacteria, they block viruses, all the you know,
the stuff that are normal sailing doesn't. And that's actually
gonna can that will get you the same goal, but
(16:15):
one hundred and eighty degree difference because it's supporting your
immune system and this functioning airway, the functioning method that
you're that you naturally are going to clean your airway
as opposed to blocking it.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
And that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Absolutely, And I do want our listeners to know if
you do take antahistamines for seasonal allergies, it's exactly what
you said. You may have noticed that it has these
these negative side effects which include the dried sinuses, the
dry mouth, and then you start going into dizziness and
drowsiness and sometimes even nausea. So these dry sinuses, on
(16:51):
top of being troublesome as far as a running nose goes,
it can lead to risk of other illnesses. Since what
you said that that mucus in the nasal, in the
sinus passages, they are there to protect the airway from
and also the body from those airborne pathogens. So on
top of that, when you talk about I think you
(17:12):
mentioned a study that shows that your body can even
develop a clinical tolerance to antahistamine medication during during allergy season.
So in some of these cases, this resistance to the anahistamines,
it's developed within about seven to twenty days of using
this medication. So this reality Nate, which we talk about,
(17:34):
if you think about it, for those listening, within just
one to three weeks, your body's already stopped. It's stopping
to respond to the drugs that you're trying to rely
on here. So I want you to explain in a
few minutes what it is that xylotol does to basically
rehydrate and protect that nasal cavity.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
So can I put something out? I'm going to make
some references to some studies, and rather than tell everybody
what the studies are, I'm just going to tell you
where you can go find all of them, because I
would and I actually very much encourage people to go
to our web page. It's clear dot com x L
E R dot com, and there's a menu just dropped
(18:17):
down and has said professional studies. All the studies that
I'm referencing, they're all published. We put a little blurb
on it on that and then you can click the
link and go through and read the study itself, because
I want people to know that I'm not just making
this stuff up, but the way that xylotol works. So
my dad first started to use he's a physician, and
he first started using xylotol in a nasal spring in
(18:37):
nineteen ninety eight. And he did it because he'd read
these studies about how xylotol blocked STREPNUMO, H flu, and MCAT.
Those are three pathogens that live in your upper airway.
But he read a study showing how they blocked the
ability of those pathogens to adhere to the tissue in
the airway. And he sat there and he goes, you
know what, I have all these kids that are having
recurrent air infections. If it blocks the their ability of
(19:00):
the bacteria to adhere, then it's probably going to help
reduce ear infections. And so he actually bost some xylotol,
poured it into a into a saline spray, sprayed it
up these kids nose. They all stopped getting sick. Okay,
but the big thing is is that when you started
using it on more patients and older patients, because people
who have chronic ear infections also usually have other respiratory issues.
(19:24):
But people who had chronic allergies and seasonal allergies who
started using this, it also helped them and they would
a lot of times they'd have a cleansing moment where
a whole bunch of mucus comes out because you're having
a build up in your airway. So, but what the
xylotol does is the xylotol helps break up biofilms. Okay,
(19:45):
we know that. And if you have chronic respiratory issues,
whether it's sinus infections, whether it's respiratory allergies or stuff
like that. There's papers out there in the medical literature
where they talk about it. One was done by a
doctor and where he pointed out that if you have
chronic respiratory issues like that that keep coming back, chances
are probably close to ninety nine point ninety percent that
(20:05):
you have a biofilm in your upper airway. And a
biofilm is just like plaque on your teeth. It's a
it's a colony of bacteria that are growing and hanging
on there. But anyways, but that's one of the ways
that xylotal works. The other one is is that it
stays in your mucus and it osmonically pulls moisture out
of the tissue. So it's going to keep your mucus hydrated.
(20:25):
So it's trapping more and pulling more of these pollen
and dander and bacteria viruses away from the tissue and
flushing them away faster than what a regular sailing would do.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, Nate, let's get back into that conversation after the break,
and folks, I want you to stay with us when
we come back. We're going to talk about how Clear
nasal sprays, which is a readily available option at many
stores that you're already shopping. It's actually working with your
body and not against it. Again, stick with us, We're
talking Nate Jones of Clear. You're listening to the Doctor
(20:55):
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Are you waiting on a line next stake for the
perfect night? How are you waiting to the time is right?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But you learn to deal with data?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Do you want to take the wildest him? Welcome back
to Health Talk America presents The Doctor Bob Martin Show.
America's number one health talk radio program. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and today we're talking with Nathan Jones, the CEO of Clear,
and we're talking about how you can reclaim your quality
of life during allergy season. So we've established that the
(21:38):
nose needs to be clean and hydrated, but sometimes that
that standard sailing isn't enough when that pollen count continues
to go through the roof. So so Nate, I want
you to to tell our listeners, for those who are
already in the thick of this allergy season, what specific
Clear products do you recommend to help them get over
(21:58):
this this hump during our season?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Well, I would you know. I use the Clear nasal
spray every morning, every evening. I put it with my
toothbrussure that every time I brush my teeth, I clean
my nose. I mean, those are your two gateway microbiomes
where the vast majority, I mean nearly ninety nine percent
of all the pathogens that enter your body and your
body through your nose in your mouth. Some people say
the eyes are included in that, but the eyes just
(22:24):
drained into the nose, so it's still the nose they
drain through the lachrymal dot, so it's really still the nose,
and so you should use I mean, it's a hygiene tool.
It's not a drug, it's not a pharmaceuticals. It's a
hygiene tool. It's like a bar soap, it's like toothpaste.
It's there to help clean your nose, just like we
wash our mouth. We should be. It just makes sense
(22:46):
to wash our nose. And so we have one that
is it's just a xylotol solution that helps clean that
and open it up. And when we started the company,
my dad and I mentioned this in the last seven
was using it because we understood that it blocked bacteria.
But after about four years of being in business, we
actually pulled some of our consumers, our customers, and said, hey,
(23:08):
what are you using it for? What are the best
results you see? And most of our consumers, surprise, surprise,
we're actually using it for allergies. And that really surprised us.
And so you know, when you make a line extension,
you know something else. We made something that would help
people with seasonal allergies, and what we came up with
was clear Max and it has a little bit of
(23:28):
cap station in it, which is kind of a natural anahistamine.
It's not a pharmaceutical product. It's just a little bit
of cap station. And again, the goal is is to
use as to help reduce the use of pharmaceutical products.
And so if you know that you're going to have
seasonal allergies in April, May, June, springtime, or fall, then
(23:50):
when that time comes along, just start using the clear Max.
And the goal is to make it so that you
don't have to use the pharmaceutical products as much because
you know, you mentioned some of the side effects from
some of the anahistamies, and so you know, one of
the crazy things is the most common product, the most
common product used by people that have respiratory allergies is
(24:11):
actually flutikosone and the physicians are handing that out to
kids like it's candy. But the number one side effect
that's listed in that is that it stunts their growth.
So that's why we want people to use That's why
we want people to use the fewest number of pharmaceuticals
that you can is because pharmaceuticals usually have some not
very happy side effects. And so but and and before
(24:34):
the end of this year, we'll actually have improved that
clear Max product. I'm actually really excited. We're gonna, we're gonna,
we're improving it right now. It's it's instability testing and
I'm excited for it. It'll be new. We'll talk about
it next time. But anyways, and then the other thing
you have is if you are super congested, like in
the morning when you wake up. We do not encourage
(24:55):
people to do this a lot, but we have a
big like a Natty pot rinse bottle hype volume, and
we don't encourage people to use this a lot because
it does clean out the entire protective layer of mucus,
and that isn't always a good thing. But if you
wake up in the morning and you're breathing through your
mouth and your nose is completely closed, it might be
something you need to use every now and then. And
(25:17):
so we do have that for extreme cases. So those
are the products that we have that can help with
with seasonal allergies.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah, Nate, I've got to tell you the clear Max
I feel like that's a game changer for everyone. But
but as far as I use it a lot with
my athlete patients, say what you said, that casation. It
provides that that zine that opens the airways. Basically, I
guess faster, and you can say seasonal relief and then
(25:46):
and then you talk about your your rescue formula. It's
got the oregano and the tea tree.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Those those are botanical medicine, and you can get those
ini microbial benefits of those oils exactly where you need
them the most, which is in your nasal cavity in
this case. So it's a great way to have these
these tools readily available and they don't come with that
drowsy warning label. I often tell my patients that using
(26:14):
clear is like washing your hands before your nose. So
we wouldn't we wouldn't think of going through a day
without washing our hands, especially during during the flu season
or allergy season. So why are we not doing this
with our nasal passages? You know, they are the filter
of our bodies, and when when they get clogged with
(26:34):
pollen and pollution on weeks on end, it causes our
immune system take a hit. So it's it's oftentimes it's
shocking how we ignore nasal hygiene. So Nate, for the
folks listening who are struggling right now, what are some
of your top pro tips for managing these seasonal type
of allergy symptoms.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
The top things that I would highly recommend is one,
use a a nasal spray that hydrates your mucosa, preferably
clear x L E A R. Preferably that one, because
that's ours. And I might be a little biased, but
I'm gonna say that's the best one. If you can't
find it, you know, you can find it online, but
(27:16):
use a saline if you can't find a Xyloton nasal spray.
The other thing is make sure you're drinking a lot
of water, because if you're not hydrated, then your mucus
is going to dry out. If you're drinking a lot
of coffee or caffeinated drinks, those are all gonna dry
you out. Also other things, make sure you change your
air filters. I mean you should always change your air filters.
(27:39):
You know, if you have seasonal allergies in the spring,
change your air filters in April. You know, if they're
in the fall, change them in August. You know, change
them so you have those are all clean. Make sure
you're not opening your windows. And a big one that
people don't really think about is take a shower before
you go to bed, especially if you have a lot
of hair. I don't have that problem, but you know,
if people have a lot of hair, then you're trapping
(28:01):
that pollen and whatever that allergen is in your hair
and then you're going to bed and you're just rolling
around in it all night. But those are those are
some of the things that that I would do. I
would take. I would watch the pollen count and you know,
and there's there's a couple of herbal things that you
can do, and I would go talk to an herbalist
about it, and if and if those don't help you
(28:24):
reduce it, at that point, I would probably go talk
to a physician about it and figure a way to
do it. But the last thing I would do is
go to the physician first, because all they're going to
do is tell you not to do any of the
other stuff. Just take a take an anahystemeter de congestion.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah. Yeah. So, so the few things that Nate mentioned
there is to be aware of that pollen count, to
to close your your windows, especially during an allergy season,
and wash wash your beds, your linens fairly often, change
your filter in your house, and then of course wash
(29:00):
your nose with with clear nasal sprays, which again I
do daily myself. I do it, I think Nate I
told you that I do it every every time before
the show, just to make sure that that I can
to make it make it through without coughing or or
you know, having any any change in that mucus. It's
a great way to just keep me hydrated through the
(29:21):
nasal cavity. But these are these are foundational habits for
anyone looking to optimize their health. And and I really
like that shower tip because if you've been outside, you're
covered in that microscopic pollen. And if you don't shower
before bed, like you said, you're rolling around in those
allergens for for maybe that eight hours. I hope you're
getting eight hours of sleep, so that gives you that
(29:42):
allergy hanover that next morning. All Right, folks, we got
a lot more to cover, including including a new development
that Nate told me about today, So I want to
want to make sure you're sticking around for that. You're
listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Numba and we are back.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and you're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. Folks, your participation in the show is encouraged,
and if you have health related questions, I want you
to give us a call at eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two to two. Again that's eight hundred
six zero six eight eight two to two. Maybe you
have a question about what we're talking about today, which
(30:43):
is seasonal allergies, and before u before we started the
show today, Nate brought up a very interesting conversation that
I think I think most of our listeners need to
know about two and that is that Clear is going
to be able to offer some saliva testing so you
know exactly some of the what bacteria is is taking
(31:06):
place in those portal of entry points, which is your
nasal cavity and your oral cavity, which again you hear
us talk about the oral cavity often on the show
and Nate's great products that he produces with the Spray
dental Defense system. So Nate, I want you to just
start with how that studying xylotol through the years with
(31:28):
your dad, doctor Jones, and yourself, how this came to
be that you noticed that the oral and the nasal
cavities were that portal of entry, and how xylotol helped
with that.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So the studies behind xylotol actually started, I guess you
could say they started during World War Two. They knew
what xylotol was, they knew that it was a sugar,
that it's a natural sugar, by the way, and it
was discovered in the late eighteen hundreds by French and
German chemists roughly about the same time. But because it's
more expensive than glucose and fruit toase to manufacture, nobody
(32:05):
did anything with it. But during World War two, the
Finish people, they were a neutral country, but they didn't
have any sugar sources, and so they started making xylotol
and they started using that as a sweetener. And it
wasn't for about twenty years before the dentist started realizing
that the kids that grew up during the war didn't
have cavities, and so in the sixties, twenty years after
(32:26):
the war, they started doing studies looking at what happened
during the war that caused the kids not to have
tooth decay. And what they've found was that the xylotol
is actually killing off the strip mutants. Bacteria's making your
mouth inhospitable to the strip mutantse the caryogenic the bacteria
that are taking sugars that we eat, breaking them down,
making them into acids, and that acid is what dissolves
(32:47):
the enamel of your teeth. Okay, it's great. I mean
dentistry for all of its advancements that we've had over
the last seventy five hundred years, dentistry as a as
the field has never allowed a product on the market
or endorsed a product. Let me put it that way.
The ADA they endorse fluoride, and if your product doesn't
(33:11):
have fluoride, and if they do not endorse it to
prevent toothaka. This is the perfect example of how our
healthcare system loves to treat the symptom and ignore the
cause because fluoride doesn't really have that much of an
effect on the strep utense bacteria. It just makes your
enamel more resistant to the infection. Xylotol gets rid of
(33:31):
the infection. That's what it does. And we're not saying
use xylotol instead of fluorid. You should always use a product,
and there's a number of them out there, but you
should always use a product that treats the infection, like sylotol.
You can use a rythrotol. There's other things out there
and something that hardens your enamel. If you choose to
use fluoride, use fluoride. If you choose to use hydroxy appetite,
(33:53):
use hydroxy appetite. They both work about the same one
is significantly safer than the other. Or you can use
what we use, which is a product called sodium trimeta phosphate. Again,
it's a natural product, but they have studies going back
to the seventies and eighties showing that it works about
thirty five percent better than fluoride does at strengthening and
hardening your enamel. But because it's not fluoride, the ADA
(34:16):
and the FDA won't allow you to talk about it,
which crazy, but they were doing studies with xylotol. Most
of the studies of xylotol have been in oral hygiene,
in you know, preventing toothicka And as I got into
that industry, it was pretty bizarre that the dentists haven't
(34:38):
been treating the bacterial infection. And there have been a
number of dentists who have put out these who have
started companies that wanted that to happen. I'm trying to
think of how to describe this, because it's just so
crazy when I think about it. You know, when you
go into the doctor, when you go into the physician
and you have a respiratory infection or a sore throat
(35:00):
or something, you know, unless there's something really common going around,
the doctor will say, hey, let's swab it, let's get
a culture, let's see what we have. Dentists have that
same technology. They have the same ability. When you walk
into the dental office, the first thing they should do
is say, hey, you know what spit in this cup.
We're going to go test it, and we're going to
tell you what pathogens you have in your mouth, and
we're going to treat those bacterial infections so you don't
(35:21):
have more carried on, you don't have any more periodonal disease,
you don't have any more cavities. You know, they're going
to take that and say, hey, these are the pathogens
you have in your mouth. These are products that you
can use to get rid of those bacteria. And so
there have been a number of dentists that have actually
put products on the market where they're targeting and trying
to get dentists to use them, and they haven't been successful. Okay,
(35:44):
they haven't been successful because for some reason the dentists
don't really want to find out and treat tooth decay
like the bacterial infection that it is. So we have
now we're working with a lab and we're actually developing
a test that you'll be able to get from us,
no dentist involved, and you can use it for educational purposes.
It's not being we don't want you using it to diagnose,
(36:07):
but we want you understanding what bacteria in your mouth
and what not just tooth ocake, not the periodotom disease,
but what systemic illnesses are associated with the pathogens in
your mouth, and the test will actually tell you that,
and we should have that within the next ninety days.
I'm hoping sixty, but let's say ninety.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Okay, And when we come back from break, Nate, I
want you to just describe that just a little bit more,
what that test may involve, and what we're looking at
like with that, and how important it is to know
what bacteria you have in that oral cavity. Again, we're
talking with Nathan Jones, the CEO of Clear and of
course we'll just have been talking about the spread dental
(36:48):
defense system. All right, folks, stick around, you're going to
want to hear this last little bit with Nathan Jones.
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin shoe.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
What Doesn't kill your Mexus side?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
All right, we are in our home stretch here on
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm your host, Doctor Adam Brockman,
and I want to thank Nathan Jones for joining us
today and sharing his expertise on how we can breathe
easier and nate before before we let you go today,
I'm gonna go ahead and remind our listeners exactly where
they can arm themselves with Clear in the Spry Dental
(37:32):
Defense System. So you can find Clear in Spry online
at clear dot com. That's spelling the spell out the
word x L e A R as far as Clear goes.
And then you can look for retailers Walgreens, CBS, Vitamin Shop, Target, Kroger, Sprouts,
Natural Grossers and most natural product retailers nationwide. And if
(37:54):
you look online, you can find find Clear in Spry
at Amazon, ierb, Lucky, Vitamin Invita cost Oh okay, and also,
folks don't forget to follow them on Facebook by looking
up Clear incorporated. Also on Instagram and through spry you
can look spry smile and that's sp r y and
(38:14):
there you can learn more about the xylotol products, the
great products that Clear has to keep your oral and
nasal passages healthy. All right, So thanks again, Nathan, it's
been a pleasure. We got just a minute or two left,
so I want you to just describe what folks can
get when they do that bacterial test to saliva test
through Clear.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Well, we don't have all the system worked out, but
what you're going to do is you call into us.
We're gonna have it on our web page. I don't
know that we're gonna put anywhere else. We'd chip it
out to you. And all you do is is you
open it up. There's instructions. You spit in a little file,
you seal it up and you I mean they'll put
some salt water and you switch it around your mouth.
You spit into a little tube, you seal it up,
(38:57):
you put it back in the package, you mail it off,
and it's like two weeks later they'll actually email you
and they have to figure all this out with the
hipp of rules. But because it's not a diagnostic you
don't have to follow the hip rules. So you know,
it's like twenty three meters. It's just from educational information.
But anyways, we're not going to keep any of it.
(39:19):
We're not gonna you know. But anyways, you can look
at that and you can go down the list and
it will tell you the pathogens that cause tooth decay.
You can see if you have them, the pathogens that
cause you know, a whole host of systemic illnesses, and
the pathogens the oral pathogens that are associated with that.
So if you have some that cause heart disease, you
(39:39):
have some that are associated with Alzheimer's, you can go
into the to your dentists and say, hey, look it,
I have these pathogens. What can we do to treat
these pathogens? And your dentists can help you diagnose and
use that as a diagnostic tool and tell you, and
hopefully they're smart enough to teach you, is what products
you can use.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
And those I would like to go ahead and say
are the Spread Dental Defense system, which again again my
entire family uses. We use the clear nasal sprays, especially
during this season. I use it on a daily basis.
So again today we've been talking with Nathan Jones. Thank
