Dr. Lon Jones and his wife Jerry Bozeman are the originators of Xlear nasal spray. Dr. Jones, a family physician, was inspired by the predicament of his grand-daughter who was faced with the prospect of ear tubes after a series of ear infections. Jerry, an early childhood development expert, persuaded Dr. Jones to seek out a less-invasive alternative, and his research uncovered the anti-bacterial properties of xylitol. The result was Xlear nasal spray, and the Spry Dental Defense System. What risks do chronic ear infections pose to children? Why do 90% of hyperactive kids have a history of three or more ear infections? How does xylitol work to prevent infections?
