The preservative would be to protect the product, it might or might not affect sinus fungus, per se. Was the issue addressed that of stuff growing in the product, or in the sinus?

I used to buy the Xlear xylitol nasal spray, until I realized it was giving me high blood pressure. I contacted the president of the company, and he said that a small percentage of 1% of people using their product have this reaction due to the preservative in the product and told me to just add 1/2 tsp.xylitol to 2 oz. of water, placed in a plastic nasal spray bottle (you CAN pry the top off if you use some strength). I added the xylitol to colloidal silver. I think this may have produced a saturated solution of xylitol, as some of the crystals would not dissolve. I never had any fungal problems with this, and the Xlear company said nothing about fungus, but I assume they put preservative in the solution for a reason. What was the cause of the fungus--lack of preservative? In that case I wonder if the CS would do the job. Jill
