Hi Dr. Ellie, I've been using xylitol mints and gum for a few weeks now and I'm starting your complete system today. I also just ordered some more Zellies gum and mints. The thing that most impressed me about your system is that you have promoted it for so long. I saw a 14 year old video where you basically were saying the same thing. I have two questions. I bought some xylitol crystals. Should I do a xylitol rinse after using the system before bed? And I think you may have already answered this, but should I swallow the rinse? I'm using about 1/2 teaspoon of xylitol and a sip of water for the rinse. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Ellie, could you please address that Platelet increase that they're talking about. Under what other conditions can platelet shoot up to 1000 times higher, which seems like a lot.
@@katier6925 Yes. I read a few articles about platelet build up and possible heart attack or stroke in some people. I agree, Dr. Ellie may want to look into this.
Yeah I've been reading all this stuff about it being bad for the heart. Is it just mainstream nonsense trying to ruin a good thing. Or is there actually a real issue and reall studies to prove it. ??? If you could point us in the direction of real heart health studies pertaining to xylitol. We would greatly appreciate it . Thank you for all you help and hard work.
@dr.elliephillips, I have to use an Invisalign-type retainer at night. Is it safe to do so after having Zellies, or do I need to rinse my mouth out first? Thank you so much.
I’ve had pretty bad recession on 12 teeth after removing braces at age 21. Been to many dentists since then and they said it couldn’t be fixed. Went to the dentist again recently and 13 years of not healing them eroded gums pretty bad to the point I couldn’t consume anything cold or sticky sweet like caramel or chocolate. The dentist told me they have to put sealants onto the exposed roots and asked for a fortune for 4 teeth even with a discount. I came home, found this Doc, purchased everything in the system for $75 and started following the program, figuring it can’t get worse at this point. I’m at 2 months and the gums completely covered a few exposed roots already, so the sensitivity went significantly down. Thank you lots!
Too bad you don't have before and after photos. That would be interesting to see. The big disagreement I have with Doc is her assertion that caries can be treated with Xylitol amd her system. It would take YEARS to know and to show this and by that time the caries WILL progress. The science of cariology is clear. Once bacteria are in the dentin you CAN NOT stop it without removing it. Xylitol can clear the gut of healthy bacteria. She states this in her video. It's not because of the fiber. Just as it clears the mouth of bacteria, it alters the gut. I use xylitol for as a rinse and also use it to clear the sinus. But repairing caries? BS....
thank you dr. ellie! i’m LOVING using your complete mouthcare system… it’s doing wonderful things for my mouth… allmost a year now! i’ve turned on a lot of my friend to it and you as well:) they love it too, but today one of them told me their hygienist sad listerine causes cancer… say WHAT? what are your thoughts about THAT???? thank you dr. e!
I had small erosion at the top of one tooth and followed this lady's advice... it's healed now after a few months. For free and without anything toxic!
@79meh your "erosion" can not be healed. Like a stone being repaired by nature by removing it from the river... you can stop a process but there is only one way to repair.
@@cmsilvoyThe body can heal itself. I've had a dentist tell me that they used to drill every cavity but now they have those Rx fluoride toothpastes and have you use that and it heals the cavity.
I have been a convert to xylitol and your oral health recommendations for nearly a year now - all because of your TH-cam videos that I discovered by accident! I am 60 and was starting to have problems with my teeth even though I cleaned my teeth carefully twice a day. My oral health has improved immensely and now look forward with confidence to a full lifetime of brilliant teeth. Thank you so much Dr Ellie, you are a star.
Can you please suggest me all recommend products. I'm from Pakistan and cannot understand English accent. Please share all details in written, it will be great favor of me.
I'am about same age, gosh I wish I knew about this decades ago.......I just figured out after chewing xylitel, take some celey, since I have a dog and cat, I hate them even smelling it..........but it's so super good for my teeth, why didn't I know sooner..........grrrrrrrr¬
@@janicehastings1281 honestly i used to chew sugar free gum all the time and had no cavities, before zylitol was a thing so I think there is more to chewing gum cleaning your teeth in general, not 100% sure about the zylitol
All I want to say is your system works! I just used it for a week and all the tartar and plaques disappeared and no longer forming at the bottom of my teeth. My teeth feel clean and fresh all the time. Tons of money spent at the dentist and periodontist. Now with less than 200 dollars I’ve seen results I have never seen before. Thank you Dr. Ellie!
Dear Dr Ellie...just came home from my 1st dental cleaning after being on your program for only 3 and a half weeks....best checkup ever!!!!!! He said my teeth had no plaque, no tartar, my worst tooth pocket had reduced from 5 to 3!!! He wished all his patients were like me!!!! His day would be shortened 10 fold! Thank you Dr Ellie!!!!!❤❤❤ what a blessing you are
Congratulations to you - how wonderful. Sadly it is really rare for dental offices to see mouth health improve - mostly it is on a downward spiral. Cool - and thanks for sharing :)
@@dr.elliephillips Please address my question above about Listerine. I am someone who swears by your program. My question concerns crucial information on the safety of Listerine. If you are preparing an answer then please say so otherwise it looks like you are purposely ignoring a concerned subscriber. The study is from Belgium. Thank you kindly.
"He wished all his patients were like me!!!! His day would be shortened 10 fold!" - but does he really? Because then, so also would his profits. Maybe your specific dentist does actually feel that way, and if so, great - but what would he do if suddenly all of his patients had a perfectly healthy mouth LOL? Welcome to the wonderful model of Western medicine - where maximizing your health can never be the top priority, LOL...
@@dr.elliephillips@dr.elliephillips you have recommend to use closys before brushing ..even the equivalent is not available in India....doesn't ample rinse with water before brushing helps in same way....if not please suggest other method
I've been to 5, FIVE dentists in Kalispell MT and NONE of them have been helpful about preserving teeth and gums, ALL of them were however quick to say I needed CROWNS $2.5k to $6k each. This is AFTER they told me I was losing my bone structure, so I asked everyone of these "dentists" "why would I get a crown if the bone structure underneath is eroding?" Dr. Ellie Phillips YOU are so right a/b Lobbyists here in the U.S.A. it is all a/b money, and DUES to the association be it Dentists, Realtors, CPA, etc., etc. THANK YOU!!!!
If they said you are losing bone, that’s called periodontal disease. Perio disease can be stopped. Get a “deep cleaning “ which is called SRP. Then clean your teeth daily with electric toothbrush, floss, and a water pick. Get the crown to save the tooth. Xylitol helps to prevent further decay. It takes time, effort and some money, but you CAN get your mouth healthy again.
@@sandyjohnson5111 WE used to have that kind of pricing too Sandy, in 2020 we had a/b 44k Californian's, TX's, ppl from AL, AR etc., and our home prices AND rents doubled and almost tripled in some places. Crowns did same.
I'm not entirely sure if I remember this correctly, but when I did research for my mother's friend who has a similar issues as you, I read that crowns are needed so that you would actually use your teeth for chewing and stuff like that. For example, my mother's friend used to wear dentures but they weren't done correctly so they didn't fit as they should, and after she took them out she stopped wearing them for years, and because of that she started losing the bone beneath her teeth (sorry I don't know the terminology, I'm from Europe), the bone started deteriorating- because she didn't use it for a long time. She needs crowns on her remaining teeth (and fixed dentures of course) so that she can start actually using her teeth and so that she doesn't lose more of her bone. So when you get crowns to be able to use your teeth again and when you chew you press on those bones and you signal to your body that you're using your teeth, so the bone stops deteriorating. Basically, if you don't use them- you lose them, just like when you don't use your muscles for a long period of time, they atrophy. Take this with a grain of salt of course, I was researching about this a couple years ago so I may be misremembering some things. Also, be careful with taking too much xylitol (no more than 30-40 grams a day) because it could be dangerous and it will have some side effects, don't take it when pregnant or breastfeeding, and it's extremely toxic to pets like dogs and cats. I looked at a few scientific studies about the effects of xylitol on teeth and cavities, and most of them are poorly done or they conclude that xylitol isn't really that effective for treating cavities, so beware of the placebo effect before spending a large amount of money on it. I encourage you to research xylitol on your own, if you want of course, and it's better to use reputable sources and to look at several studies, because one small study doesn't mean anything and they are often poorly done. Anyways, I hope you're having a great day and good luck with your health journey! 🍀
Dr. Phillips, I changed to xylitol gum due to the dangers of aspartame. I only found out about the benefits by accident when I started researching it several months ago, and I have seen the benefits. Dentists in the US don't want us to know about the wonders of xylitol. Many of them are like car garage attendants, trying to make as much from patients as they can. It's great to see a dentist that really cares about prevention.
Great vid. Please no background music. So many you tubers feel compelled to buy background music into everything. It doesn’t enhance the info being presented. Thank you
For me it scares my subconscious brain (fight/flight mode). It is certainly difficult to stay in my neutral state and absorb the knowledge of this new subject properly. I had to rewind many times to hear it properly and and the music makes it much more tiring to listen. Still I am very grateful for sharing your knowledge, so thank you Dr. Ellie!
I've been using xylitol now for about 6 months and I notice that the plaque that usually forms behind my lower front teeth is GONE! This is amazing. Thanks, Dr. Ellie!
I have worked in dentistry 50 years. Guided Biofilm Therapy is one of the best new treatments I have experienced. Of course the powerful sugar lobbyist are negating this wonderful product. Keep up the good work.
Let’s be honest here. The food supply in the US is horrendous. There’s so many chemicals, additives and dyes in our processed food. Most medical and dental doctors just tow the big Pharma line. Thank you Dr Ellie for letting people know the many ways xylitol can help us! 🥰
@@evansmith8463 I used a coconut oil base toothpaste I made years ago and got my gums to heal. Do a little research and find one you can make yourself. Use xylitol for sweetener. The gum I like to chew is Refresh. Plant based. Also colloidal silver kills bad bacteria and won’t wreck your mouth biome. Use the same principles Dr Ellie uses but make it your own. You can do this!
I gave my 25 year old son xylitol when he was school-age all the time. Gum. Mints. And toothpaste. He has no cavities and he hardly ever brushes his teeth. I still have to remind him to brush. But he has NO CAVITIES. I follow this lady. She knows what she's talking g about. By the way my brother and nephew have a thriving dental practice. I haven't had a Cleaning in a year. Much cleaner teeth healthier mouth.
That part about making you feel more satiated & full & having no desire to eat makes so much sense ! I’ve been following your program for about 3 weeks now or so & I’ve been eating SOOO much less. I’m already down 15 pounds just by simply eating way less than I was before where I was completely insatiable in my appetite.
Oh, my, I missed the part about eating less when I watched the video… Just by eating the mints after meals and nothing else for an hour? That’s made the difference for you?
Thank you for your kind comment. I think when you start using the system it can be helpful to tweak the different parts of the system for maximum benefit. I am glad you have found that video content useful. I appreciate your testimonial....and glad you found it relaxing - LOL!
I thank God for this lady and her mouthcare system. I have no confidence in traditional dentists. their advice actually causes (in my opinion and experience) tooth and gum problems.
Another great video from Mother Ellie! Thank you so much for your passion towards the general public and exposing the dentistry practice in the US. How can anyone not love this woman!❤
I've been using Xylitol gum, mints, mouth wash, and toothpaste for years now due to my condition of Dry Mouth. My dentist was very impressed with my dental health. Thank you for all of the added info.

@@crazybrains922do you know anyone who knows English well? It might be better to have them explain to you, because it's not just the products, it's the method, too
Dr Ellie, I have been using your complete mouth care system for 3 months now, and significantly decreased my consumption of processed sugars. My mouth always feels so clean all the time. I dont get morning breath anymore and even after eating, my teeth always feel so smooth and my breath is always fresh. 2 cavities I've had that are in the early stage (white spots on the teeth) are almost completely gone now and I no longer have dry mouth.
Her protocol WORKS! I’ve been on it 9 months now. Very very little plaque now, and I went every 3 months to have them rocks removed 😆. NO MORE frequent visits to the dentist.
Carnivore for 2 month my gums are way better. No plaque, i don't need to brush. High carb diet has ruined my life the last two years. Deep depression not so much anymore. But my teeth now could kill me short term, i can't stop looking at them.. i'm such an idiot. I can't handle it
Thank you, I had constant dental problems all my life, gum problems also, I followed your program and have not had any dental problems now for over a year, no plaque and gums are tight and pink. God Bless You.
@tarafox6618 follow the links below and go to the website, it is extensively explained there also Dr Phillips has numerous videos on the subject on TH-cam.
1)use the right xylitol gum or mints after meals and here and there, maybe like 6 times a day. She has mints/gum called Zellies you can find. 2)morning and night do the following in this order: A)mouth wash with closys mouthwash sensitive ONLY (do not use the healthy gum one. B) brush teeth with regular Crest. Do not use the other options of crest, only regular cavity protection basic crest. C)mouth wash with original listerine D)mouth wash with basic ACT. I think this only comes with flavors, so pick a basic one, not any special extra option. I would watch her hour long video. Its worth it. She goes in to depth about the exact right ones to use and extra tips and techniques. I might not be relying it exactly right.
@@shawnpennington7272 Thanks for the reply - I was entertaining my grandchildren last night :) - and no devices were allowed - LOL! These days more than ever we will need to pay attention to toothpaste - Crest is coming out with an exact look-alike toothpaste that is horrible. Always look for SODIUM fluoride and avoid STANNOUS fluoride - no matter how well they market this toxic compound..... it seems they may discontinue the SODIUM fluoride one and likely because the cost of sodium fluoride: it is the most expensive kind of fluoride/ stannous is one of the cheapest. Look for "SODIUM"....avoid "STANNOUS".....Confusing - but vital to learn the difference
00:00📚 Xylitol's benefits have been overlooked in the US, potentially due to lobbying or lack of interest from dentists. 02:18🏥 Xylitol has broad health benefits beyond oral health, including for general well-being and digestive health. 05:37🔬 Research highlights Xylitol's origins in plants and its positive effects, like reducing cavities in children. 08:10🌿 Xylitol is unique with a five-carbon structure, contrasting with other sugars and sugar alcohols, making it beneficial for dental health. 10:05🍬 Xylitol can cause gastric issues in large quantities but is beneficial in controlled amounts for oral health and weight management. 13:20🤰 Studies suggest Xylitol could reduce the risk of preterm birth and aid recovery post-surgery. 16:05💊 Xylitol shows promise in cancer research, potentially enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments. 18:35⚠ Xylitol is unsafe for pets, as it can induce harmful insulin release, emphasizing caution in households with animals. 21:15🌟 Proper use of Xylitol products, like mints and gum, is crucial for maximizing oral health benefits without overuse.
I had to have two root canals 2 months ago which made me start paying attention to my oral health. Over the last two months I have been using her system plus the xylitol. My dentist said it looks like some of my cavities are shrinking. We’re now holding off on treating them.
I’ve just gotten off of three weeks of antibiotics due to a terrible infection actually caused by using dental picks and brushing too hard. I just wanted to share that cleaning too much can cause you potentially life threatening infection. I now understand that I must brush very gently, I use a small children’s brush now, and I stopped flossing and tooth picks. I only rinse with water, mouth wash, apple cider vinegar in water (making sure to rinse with water after very very thoroughly), and very soft rubber intermittent brushes. Rinsing with water is very important. I also take Xylitol. On a different note. After starting Xylitol, by tummy is now flat. No longer bloated. I used to bloated for so many years despite eating healthy and excercising. 😊 Very pleased with Xylitol. I have a beautiful jar for tea, filled with Xylitol pastilles, on my desk now. 😊
Actually i would never use vinegar. Vinegar is incredible acidic and depletes your teeth from minerals. Even lemons and limes are much better because it contains a lot of vitamine C and calcium. Salt is also amazing for desinfecting teeth. But Vinegar no stay away from it as far as you can
Perhaps look into xylitol and you may like my book Mouth Care Comes Clean which explains why too much cleaning is bad for mouth health - but on the other side of the coin - we need to rid the mouth of infected biofilm AKA plaque.
We need to understand that our mouths are part of our microbiome - which means that purging (& perhaps excessive brushing) harms the essential microbes & balance. It’s not about killing off everything living in our mouth.
Thanks Ellie, for this correction of the recent media hype. The quoted study was not research. But the media tried to malign xylitol. It's unfortunate.
Can you please suggest me all recommend products. I'm from Pakistan and cannot understand English accent. Please share all details in written, it will be great favor of me
Thankyou Dr. Ellie you’ve been a true wealth of knowledge I’ve done my best to order all items for your complete system in uk and ave made a difference beyond belief ive had pain from a pin/ cap in front causing receding gum pain ,probs when drinking eatin and dentist were just temporary filling around receding gum which then caused more irritability . Your system after a wk or two had diminished pain and mouth ws feelin clean to wake in mornings , spreading your knowledge is preventing sooo many people from bein in pain , Thankyou soooo very much 🤗
Hi Dr. Ellie, I started watching your videos about a month ago and I'm picking up a lot of tips. I have ordered the products you recommend off of Amazon and I purchased some of your gum and mints... I continue to be educated on tooth care, but this also dovetails with the knowledge I have on the Keto diet that is about reducing processed foods, sugars, etc. and I think that combination would be very powerful for overall health. We don't need all that junk food in our diets anyway. Thanks again, Cheers!
Yes, My husband & I are both 60 & using you oral care system Including the Zellies. Thank you SO MUCH for making these for us to use. The Zellies really help.❤
Not this American. I’ve been using xylitol to brush my teeth for 20 years. Also, use it as a nose spray. Stops sinus infections in its tracks. My dentist finally recommended using it for the first time a year ago. So, the US is slowly getting it.
Here in Finland where it has been used for years it sweetens all the gums and children get a dose of it after lunches. My husband is a retired dentist and he explained to me that it was studied here.
@@capgains I Am not an expert. But, my husband is a dentist in Finland, Xylitol has been studied in here and found to help with tooth decay prevention. Her information about the sweetener is correct as far as I have observed here.
@@capgains Well, studies in Turku said that in fact it does do that. It has been used in Finland, where I live, for at least 25 years. I moved here then and it is a common habit. hmmmm, let me take a look if I can find the information in English.
I distrust the negative studies . Too many entities make money off of fluoride, tooth implements, pastes, gels, flosses etc., i forgot machines to clean between teeth and, most important, dental insurance and dentists themselves. My mouth feels comfortable with the xylitol - not stripped or burned.
I’m one of those people that has a sensitivity to xylitol. To combat this, I dissolve a couple of teaspoons of xylitol in plain water and use it as a mouth rinse after every meal. 😊
If it's a "stool" issue I recommend adding a small amount of Monk Fruit sweetener to it. I've had no issues with the Xylitol since I started doing that.
@@AnotherWorld_DeepRestit’s not an allergy they are referring to, it’s a sensitivity which affects the gut…gives you pain and diarrhoea. Some people get these effects, therefore using it as mouthwash, not swallowing. You will know if you are or not after eating, but it’s a temporary effect.
I mentioned to my husband last night that I had a dental appointment coming up today. Now this video comes up. Hmm... As a side note, I've been using a xylitol toothpaste exclusively since my last cleaning. Curious to see what my dentist says today. Their office doesn't push fluoride and I'm glad! Thanks for the info.
SO HAPPY to see you address SOME info. I have found great results with your system BUT gave up the Xylitol after seeing the recent reports about heart attacks/strokes and damage to heart health from Cleveland Clinic. I wish you addressed this.
i read about it also, studies shown that xylitol causes higher risks of blood clots and stroke. they say we should limit xylitol intake and that it's true that our body creates some as well
True. Though there was a similar study with Erythritol last year regarding strokes and heart attacks, and that was thoroughly debunked (check out BioLayne as an example). The study was flawed, and I suspect this one may be too.
it’s amazing to me that more people don’t hop onto this protocol, which I think it in many ways points to the advertising of toxic foods, and sugars as well. I think your video is quite valuable, and I will share it with all my friends, I am a big proponent of using xylitol and suggested to anyone who will discuss issues, Regarding teeth or even general health
Agreed. It works, at least it has for us. But with recent mad publicity around xylitol, it's good she did this. She shared links to other xylitol studies as well.
@@katashley1031 Yes, thankfully we have real heroes who are truly concerned with the health of the public, and improving life in general with truisms and not false statements
Part of the problem getting people to do this protocol is lack of awareness. When she talks about this Complete Care System it sounds like she’s selling something which I think turns people off. It takes a bit of digging or watching an hour plus video to realize it’s just a protocol of using 3 different over the counter mouthwashes with some rules for how and when. The system has dramatically improved my gums and is removing plaques. Now I see three teeth with caries and I’m hopeful the caries will heal. I realize that’ll probably take several months if it happens at all. I lost one tooth to gum disease then I found this program and now have confidence I should be able to stop the downhill slide.
@@RobC1999 yes that actually goes to my point people are so easily swayed by big corporations when they put their ads in the media people don’t ask questions about that they just consume and consume and then suffer later for it I mean essentially this wonderful doctors telling the truth and there is proof of this truth and I think you’re right people don’t want to do the research but again they will consume product they knew nothing about you put a pill on the media or some sort of product that is obviously not a good thing and people were consuming anyway
Wow you started and ran a restaurant as well. You are superwoman Dr Ellie. Really I mean that. No challenge is insurmountable for you. You are an inspiration.
What she is saying is so true, that’s is more benefits from xylitol, I was very sensitive to cows milk, a tiny bit of yogurt was enough to create discomfort, gas. since I started using xylitol gums, my stomach is completely different. I did as able to have yogurt today!!!
I updated my dental routine according to Dr Ellie's recommendations and the results are really good. Broke my jaw in an accident years ago and half of my mouth is weaker than the other half, but this routine has taken the swelling out of the gums.
I am confident that regular use of xylitol will eliminate the cavity I have. I am seeing improvements already from a couple of weeks of use! Thank you!
Three years ago, I had a root canal treatment. Immediately after the procedure, I told the dentist that I was feeling some mild pain. He said the pain was coming from the adjacent tooth. But it's my mouth, and I know where the pain was coming from. To this day, I still feel mild pain. Something isn't right, and I don't know what to do.
I’m certainly interested, but two concerns have surfaced: 1. In recent years, some research suggests that even a sweet taste, regardless of its source, can trigger insulin spikes. 2. A recent news article reported that Xylitol is linked to higher incidences of heart attacks. If these claims can be debunked, I’m in! Very well presented video!
This study was done on only 10 individuals. The timing of blaming heart attacks/strokes on xylitol is odd, with so many other things being blamed on the uptick of heart attacks/strokes after the rollout of the Covid vaccine - blaming these things on so many different things, including too much joy!!
@@janehorning5209 Agree. Can see why there are many skeptical responses to research, especially with sugar alcohols, along with keto and carnivore diets. Too much money at stake I guess.
@@BillSmith-fx7xx Righto. Thanks for that. I thought she must have heard about it, even though I don’t remember hear it mentioned in this video. ‘Weak’ and ‘business interests’ seems to commonly come to mind even before we look into these ‘studies’. Looks like I’ll continue enjoying my Xylitol then! :)
Dear Dr. Ellie, thank you so much for all your educational efforts! My relative and I have been following your recommendations for a year and have achieved amazing results: we visited our dentists for our annual check and, as you advised, asked whether we need a cleaning. The answer was NO! In addition, a year ago, I had dark spots on X-rays in three interproximal locations - an X-ray during my recent visit showed no dark spots. I have been strictly following your recommendations concerning xylitol (love your Zellie’s mints and gums!) and for three months used your Complete Mouth Care System. Now, I am an enthusiastic advocate of your approach and am strongly recommending it to all my relatives and friends. I have a question concerning xylitol. I understood from your videos that you recommend using birch xylitol. Some people, especially in foreign countries cannot find it. Can any granular xylitol be used or should it only be birch xylitol?
I've been doing the protocol for three weeks. Teeth have become discolored as others have reported, browning or yellowing at the gum line. I understand that it is plaque. Does this discoloration stop at some point or will it require cleaning of some kind or brushing with xylitol crystals with toothpaste?
I absolutely enjoy watching your videos, thank you. Can one exceed the number of Zellies from 5 to perhaps 10?? I love the taste and can’t stop myself.
I'm into a month with your complete oral health care including xylitol...my first dental checkup is this tuesday since starting with your oral system...Will lyk the results!!! Im too excited to find out...thank you
I started to use a toothpaste with high procent of xylitol few months ago by accident. Later found information about xylitol by dr. Ellie, checked my toothpaste, then checked my teeth. The plaque on my teeth had disappared! I had enjoyed the benefit of xylitol before even learning about it. 😊Now my husband has started with the same program.
It seems to me, the established order jumps to negate any natural remedy that makes it into the mainstream. Dr. Ellie has been discussing this for decades, and now suddenly it’s all over the internet. My perception about this study regarding stroke & heart attacks, is that it involves eating copious amounts of xylitol thru baking or sugar replacement. In any case, I am with Dr. Ellie.
It is better to use it as a mouthwash by putting some granules or the sugar in the mouth, swish it around for a few minutes and then spit it out because you don't know the side effects, what I do know is that it gives diarrhoea. I put less than a tea spoon in my mouths and I shake it around and some minutes after I get rid of it. So I wouldn't use gums or mints.
@@beahaven The study does not say xylitol is unsafe...which is why this should never have been reported this way by the media. To understand why the group of P & G / Pfizer + private equity funding from Germany did the study - understand they are looking to have a patent for a blood test to measure blood platelet activity. This test was all about blood platelet activity - and activity is always increased when there is a need for "healing" or stress and in faact when people have gum/periodontal disease. So, 10 subjects drank 30 grams of xylitol and to some degree their platelet activity increased - THAT is what the study showed. No one had any clinical symptoms - and 30 grams in one shot after fasting is a LOT of xylitol. Our body makes 15 grams of xylitol daily by metabolism - and so we should be able to extrapolate that 15 grams over the course of a day is something the body understands easily. For oral health I recommend 5-10 grams a day AFTER meals and spaced out as 1-2 grams x5 daily. This means your platelet activity could rise if you drink 30 grams after a fast and may be high if you have risk factors for heart problems - (the 10 people were at a heart clinic and may have been overweight, had diabetes, gum disease etc....we have no idea about them.) In fact at the end of the Cleveland announcement it states that the amounts in mints and gum are too small to be considered. The news media obviously missed that part of the article. So the take away at this time - maybe have some caution about drinking quantities of xylitol after a fast. I would say the same about salt - and maybe they should test that next - it is great in small quantities - but don't drink 30 grams in one sitting.
Xylitol gums are sold at pharmacy registers in Greece for tooth health. The problem is that I can’t use it as I do intermittent fasting and the only thing I can use is stevia which has zero calories.
@@SunnyCarnivore how are you sure about this? It has calories. That means it does. It has low glycemic index but this doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect glucose levels.
You can just rinse xylitol in your mouth for a few seconds (I think she mentioned 30 sec) and spit it out...that's how I do it. Of course you have still some mini amounts in your mouth.
The Dollar General store close to me sells a brand of candy called Zaffi Taffy... has Xylitol in taffy bites and lollipops... it's not super expensive.. it's a little bit pricey for the amount that you get.. but tastes wonderful.... I highly recommend it.... Just gotta say thank you Dr. Ellie.. sharing your wisdom in such a chill friendly manner...
I've been chewing gum with xylitol in it for two years! I had to have an implant where a previous dentist had made me a partial after I went in asking for an implant. The first dentist really messed up the tooth next to the one that was removed as well. The second dentist fixed everything and in doing that he had to do a bone graft. It was pretty involved and took quite a bit of time and I was 70 and took some time to heal. Now I'm healed and love my second dentist. I thought he had somehow made all my teeth feel tighter & stronger. After all I've heard now about xylitol, I'm not so sure that IT didn't make the difference in my teeth! I had a lot of stress over my teeth and was chewing the mint gum for constant indigestion! Very interesting!😳🤔
@@shish_taouk Watch Dr. David Brownstein's discussion with Dr. Ken Barry about Iodine. It will answer that question (hint: it has to do with industrial waste and greed) and many many more. Every person on Earth needs to watch that very informative video.
Xlitol is not suppressed. Its in every supermarket in uk health shop and amazon..that is not suppression. If it was suppressed you would not easily get it at all.
There is a fluoride industry here in the United States. They put it in our tap water whether we want it or not. And there is a heavy push to use it at any dental office. Suppression of information or even just omission is still suppression imo. Xylitol is not carried everywhere here in the US either. I have to make a special trip to certain stores or order from the internet. But I think a more accurate statement would be that it threatens the dental industry as a whole.
There has been a study reported in the media lately that xylitol may promote hazardous blood clotting, though the one actual paper I could find did not present definitive conclusions and involved giving people 30g in one drink, which temporarily raised their blood level by a high amount. I would love to see Dr. Ellie comment on this, and if she sees a net cardiovascular risk in xylitol consumption at this time, given the excellent dental benefits that are known and proven.
It was an observational study on 10 really sick patients - and they gave them 30 grams of xylitol to drink in a few minutes - immediately after fasting. All subjects had experienced heart problems, a large number were diabetic and their gum disease status was not recorded ( a risk for heart problems). Study was funded by private equity groups - a red flag. To dissolve that much xylitol requires you heat it up and then cool it down - quite a procedure. Who drinks 30 grams. Anyway, no one had any clinical symptoms - just their blood showed an increase in platelet activity - which can mean a number of things. The media went wild within 2 hours of the study - skewing the message - almost purposefully. The study is behind a European paywall - and it costs $45 to read it. Strange...to say the least. Here is a link to some other studies about xylitol that the media have never reported: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
@@dr.elliephillips Many thanks Dr. Ellie, I appreciate you taking the time to read my comment and further share your expertise on this subject. FYI I am another success story with your system - I bought a Kindle copy of “Kiss Your Dentist” when I had a significant dental concern back in ’19, and today my teeth and gums are better than they have been in 30 years, including with the use of xylitol. Also I hear you about the paywall issue with that paper, I had to try several different links before I found one that was not paywalled. FYI for anyone else interested, as of today if you google “xylitol thrombotic pdf” the NIH link further links to a copy on the Euro Heart Journal that is not currently paywalled.
Dr. Ellie, not one day after I watched your video about your system - approx a 2 weeks ago; a few days after, there was a news clip about the dangers of an artificial sweetener, but didn't state what it was until they came back from the break. I thought to myself that I bet it will be Xilytol... of course it was. I think anything that looks like it might "interfere" with ideas about health care previously established will come up against those who'll try to discredit it. I hope it will come to the point where we look into things for ourselves before we dismiss what might be useful and can empower us to be more self- sufficient with our health. Also, thanks for the instruction for proper use of the gum!
Thank you for your support I am seeing all this media reporting - and wonder about what are all the reasons for skew and media bias. It has to purely be $$$ If you - or your friends - want to read other studies about xylitol and a note explaining the study: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
I've been chewing the gum for about 11 months. The dentist has noticed improvement at 6 months. I notice little things like my teeth feel smother. I haven't seen any improvement in the damage and bone loss but I have stopped seeing "pink in the sink". I also noticed there was no bleeding when my dentist cleaned my teeth and gums. I'm going to continue use and report my experiences.
Another thing that tells me how good xylitol is, is that Starbucks sells gum in their stores. That gum is xyiltol sweetened. They know that with all the sweetened drinks, it behooves them to have a xylitol gum to offset the sugar in the drinks.
I LOVE Xylitol! I’ve been using it for many years and I can’t believe it’s not better known. I’m in Australia and it’s not well known here either. I use it to improve intestinal health. My husband uses Xylimelts every night to reduce dry mouth symptoms and has found them amazingly effective. Thanks for your video!
Several months ago you said you were going to make a how to brush video if you could get a grandkid to help demonstrate I believe. Could you please make that video? I'm nervous if I am brushing the right way because I don't want to damage my gums after switching from almost 20 years of using electric brushes to using the Dr. Plotka's manual brush you recommend. Thank you!
I love Xylitol. I used to buy birch sugar in bulk from Finland. That was about 15 or 16 years ago , but now I can find it fairly easily in stores. I use it to brush my teeth, and it eliminates morning dragon breath. I also understand that xylitol increases bone density. Since fungi, virus, and bacteria can't live on xylitol it's not surprising to me that it also impacts cancer cells. It certainly doesn't feed them, like glucose does. Thank you for your advocacy of this incredible sugar.
Ive been using your protocol for about a month and have seen tremendous gum regrowth around my premolars and molars, lower, both sides. Chewing Xylitol gum really helpd me
Since I have been following Dr. Ellie Phillips protocol, including the use of xylitol, my mouth feels better than ever before in my life. I enjoy Dr. Ellie's mints daily, and they have been a blessing to my teeth. The sensitivity is completely gone.
I recently had a crown that I believe wasn’t necessary now my tooth is sensitive and the dentist wants to do a root canal. Will xylitol help with the sensitivity?
Dr. Ellie, I have started a bit of your program by just adding Xylitol, and massaging gums with Dr. Plotkas toothbrushes and have already seen results. My main problem was loose, receding gums. I have seen my exposed roots being covered back up and my teeth have been cleaner than ever! Thank you!
I literally just bought my second zellies mints. I got the cool fruit. There’s enough in there to eat them without thinking “they’re going fast”. Everytime I ate I would eat two. I finally bought the full mouthcare system as I have only been doing steps 2, 3, & xylitol(using listerine first since it washes away fluoride). Now I have steps 1-4 & xylitol. I’m so sorry Dr Phillips I know u need all the steps. Now I feel complete. I’ve been telling everybody about zellies mints even if I have to buy them for them. They taste great! It’s almost inspiring me to make a tik tok about my experience.
Dr Ellie, I’m a diligent follower of your mouthcare system. However what are your thoughts about an article in the Telegraph (UK) today that says that regular use of Listerene (cool mint) may increase certain types of cancer causing bacteria. This follows a study that was recently done in Belgium.
I read a couple of articles the other day, warning people that new studies show.... xylitol causes heart attacks and strokes. I love xylitol and will be using it forever.
Ok, but of all the people out there, why o mara? Sorry but I have a very different view than you do. I dont find o mara to be particularly worth following.
Sean omara is fantastic! Although I don’t agree with this lady about mouthwash! It destroys all the bacteria in the mouth! But I’m looking forward to now starting with xylitol as I have a lot of cavities unfortunately now!
@@gaiacielo5090 I've just scheduled to create a video about this misconception on mouthwash. It's actually interesting - a mix between some good studies and some horrible scientific and media reporting. The intent was good - but understanding is missing. Not ALL mouthwash is bad for you - and the topic is misunderstood......more to come!
Hi Ellie, I’m a big fan. I really enjoyed your book and switched over to your complete mouthcare system immediately. I saw great results within a few weeks and was over the moon, I told everyone that would listen about it and showed them your videos. It is extremely difficult to get these products in the UK, it costs a hell of a lot of money. I noticed you had a list of alternative products that were available in the UK so I immediately bought them. (Ultra dex, Crest anticavity, listerine cool mint, Colgate fluoriguard) I have used these products from the last 10 weeks and I have noticed a rapid decline in my mouth health. My gums have become sensitive when brushing again and I have even felt a bit of tooth pain. I definitely think these products need a re think on your list as my partner has found exactly the same thing happen. I am not sure what to do now. Thanks 🙏💚
I don’t know what to tell you . But I really am appreciative of this report.. have you taken advantage of the training I have on my video bootcamp that is at DrEllie.com? This camp explains ways you can boost your results, and that may be helpful Please keep in touch and let’s try to determine if perhaps Xylitol is the most important part of the system - and see if we can get some Zellies over to the UK
1/5th teaspoon is about 1 gram x5 after meals daily. total recommended amount for oral health is 5-10 grams daily. You could dip a strawberry into the granules and have this as an ending for a meal. Raspberries and strawberries naturally contain xylitol and make a great "tooth safe" ending for meals.
@@dr.elliephillips thanks as sometines I have trouble with the chewy and mints as my mouth is sensotive to peppermint and spearmint it makes it burn and irritates it for days so thanks
Well I bit the bullet and went to the dentist after 10 years.. I'm 44. I have to get a deep cleaning, but the dentist was really impressed with the condition of my teeth and gums for not having been in so long. After I do this, with a fresh start, I'm going to look into your protocol!
You should get on my system FIRST and make that deep cleaning more productive and more comfortable for you and your hygienist. Just saying :) That would be my recommendation DrEllie.com
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you; I went to the store today, couldn't find the regular crest cavity prevention, but they had the children's version. Ingredients looked the same so I bought it. I noticed the Closys contains chlorine dioxide. I'm already into MMS, but I was thinking about it, and it seems taking an oral MMS protocol such as 1000, or Protocol C for CDS would contradict what you say about not drinking between meals. With those protocols, you have to take a sip every hour. Not only that, MMS and CDS are acidic. Are you against the use of them?
I've stopped taking the xylitol now, as it exacerbated my menopause symptoms in the way that sugar does - increased hot flushes, night sweats, etc. I also developed an irritating dry cough, which I put down to summer pollution at first, but the cough and menopause symptoms stopped within a couple of days of stopping taking the mints. So listen to your body when trying something new - xylitol won't be for everyone. I'm continuing with the rest of the mouth care products and routine (mouth rinse and toothpaste), and hoping this will be sufficient. It will be interesting to see how my next dental visit in the New Year goes!
The doctor's system is based on regular xylitol intake. Instead of writing these revelations under every video you could consult your gastroenterologist. Xylitol is good for everybody except those with poor health like in that study
@@WoSarvatraHainActually, you can simply put 1/5 teaspoon of pure xylitol crystals in your mouth. You can chew them or let them dissolve in your saliva. Then rinse your xylitol-sweetened saliva all over your teeth and spit out-or swallow if you aren’t sensitive to it.
Mam my 30%back tooth just got broken, i got a composite filling now i fear bpa, want to replace it with gold crown. Give your guidance regarding it and does gold crown requires root canal? Please mam reply i am in great need and there are no biomimitic dentist in my country
Interesting! I used to consume Xylitol but then I ran into an article that said Xylitol was very hazardous to dogs...which you also mentioned in this video...it spooked me. I decided in that moment that if it was dangerous for animals (dogs in particular) then how can it be good for me?! Perhaps I was too hasty! I mean even the name sounds like an artificial chemical. When I first discovered it 20 years ago...I thought it was too good to be true...I've had many expensive and bad dental experiences and have lost most of my teeth...mainly because I refused root canals and felt the only option left was extraction. I'll look into this more and re-evaluate. I appreciate this broader view and explanation on what Xylitol is and where is it derived from...that settle me down on my negative opinion of it.
I'm in a similar position with 2 cats. Also looking at possibly needing root canals or extraction or crowns. Havent been able to afford a dentist in years
second group of 2149 people, they confirmed that higher blood xylitol levels were associated with increased risk of both major adverse cardiovascular events and blood clot formation
She’s promoting 5 grams per day. The research on cancer is at a dose of 30-40 grams and likely that’s the folks who are using it as a sweetener and insatiable as many who are using non sugar sweeteners are often seeking so much sweetness because they are addicted to sweetness.
Of course they’d say that. Haven’t you learned in these last 4 years how they’ve lied to us about what truly ISN’T harmful and actually is very beneficial to our health? Come on catch h up!
Appreciate your pet warning. It's been ignored because of that toxicity. Friends had some mints in their handbag and their dog got into them. He nearly died. There are many such cases. Xylitol was added to some peanut butter brands and pet owners were unaware and gave it to their dogs for treats. It was all over the news. Sadly, I can't tolerate any of these sugar replacements. They trigger my vertigo migraines. I wish their were other options.
Hi there. I am from Canada and cant get zellies here. I found a gum called Spry. I listened to a video you did that said not yo use the gum with glycerin. Just read the ingredients and spry gum has vegetable glycerin. Can anyone tell me why we shouldnt eat it? Thanks 😊
Hi Dr. Philips. I think it is OK to rinse mouth and spit out. But I wouldn't recommend to digest it so frequently. Because modern mass production technics can involve heavy metals in trace amounts which seems to be dangerous to be a regular food. You have to learn that from factory data, the second hand distributer doesn't care about it. For example, the xylitol I have very probably has these specifications: Lead ≤ 0.5 mg/Kg, other heavy metals ≤ 10 mg/Kg, Nickel ≤ 1 mg/Kg. I wrote "very probably" because most of the manifacturers of the origin country of xylitol I bought have these specifications.
Review reputable xylitol studies, a personal response from me regarding a recent study, and more at zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
Hi Dr. Ellie, I've been using xylitol mints and gum for a few weeks now and I'm starting your complete system today. I also just ordered some more Zellies gum and mints. The thing that most impressed me about your system is that you have promoted it for so long. I saw a 14 year old video where you basically were saying the same thing. I have two questions. I bought some xylitol crystals. Should I do a xylitol rinse after using the system before bed? And I think you may have already answered this, but should I swallow the rinse? I'm using about 1/2 teaspoon of xylitol and a sip of water for the rinse. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Ellie, could you please address that Platelet increase that they're talking about. Under what other conditions can platelet shoot up to 1000 times higher, which seems like a lot.
@@katier6925 Yes. I read a few articles about platelet build up and possible heart attack or stroke in some people. I agree, Dr. Ellie may want to look into this.
Yeah I've been reading all this stuff about it being bad for the heart. Is it just mainstream nonsense trying to ruin a good thing. Or is there actually a real issue and reall studies to prove it. ??? If you could point us in the direction of real heart health studies pertaining to xylitol. We would greatly appreciate it . Thank you for all you help and hard work.
@dr.elliephillips,
I have to use an Invisalign-type retainer at night. Is it safe to do so after having Zellies, or do I need to rinse my mouth out first?
Thank you so much.
I’ve had pretty bad recession on 12 teeth after removing braces at age 21. Been to many dentists since then and they said it couldn’t be fixed. Went to the dentist again recently and 13 years of not healing them eroded gums pretty bad to the point I couldn’t consume anything cold or sticky sweet like caramel or chocolate. The dentist told me they have to put sealants onto the exposed roots and asked for a fortune for 4 teeth even with a discount. I came home, found this Doc, purchased everything in the system for $75 and started following the program, figuring it can’t get worse at this point. I’m at 2 months and the gums completely covered a few exposed roots already, so the sensitivity went significantly down. Thank you lots!
Too bad you don't have before and after photos. That would be interesting to see. The big disagreement I have with Doc is her assertion that caries can be treated with Xylitol amd her system. It would take YEARS to know and to show this and by that time the caries WILL progress. The science of cariology is clear. Once bacteria are in the dentin you CAN NOT stop it without removing it. Xylitol can clear the gut of healthy bacteria. She states this in her video. It's not because of the fiber. Just as it clears the mouth of bacteria, it alters the gut. I use xylitol for as a rinse and also use it to clear the sinus. But repairing caries? BS....
thank you dr. ellie! i’m LOVING using your complete mouthcare system… it’s doing wonderful things for my mouth… allmost a year now! i’ve turned on a lot of my friend to it and you as well:) they love it too, but today one of them told me their hygienist sad listerine causes cancer… say WHAT? what are your thoughts about THAT???? thank you dr. e!
I had small erosion at the top of one tooth and followed this lady's advice... it's healed now after a few months. For free and without anything toxic!
@79meh your "erosion" can not be healed. Like a stone being repaired by nature by removing it from the river... you can stop a process but there is only one way to repair.
@@cmsilvoyThe body can heal itself. I've had a dentist tell me that they used to drill every cavity but now they have those Rx fluoride toothpastes and have you use that and it heals the cavity.
I have been a convert to xylitol and your oral health recommendations for nearly a year now - all because of your TH-cam videos that I discovered by accident! I am 60 and was starting to have problems with my teeth even though I cleaned my teeth carefully twice a day. My oral health has improved immensely and now look forward with confidence to a full lifetime of brilliant teeth. Thank you so much Dr Ellie, you are a star.
Can you please suggest me all recommend products.

How do you take it?
@@janicehastings1281 honestly i used to chew sugar free gum all the time and had no cavities, before zylitol was a thing so I think there is more to chewing gum cleaning your teeth in general, not 100% sure about the zylitol
All I want to say is your system works! I just used it for a week and all the tartar and plaques disappeared and no longer forming at the bottom of my teeth. My teeth feel clean and fresh all the time. Tons of money spent at the dentist and periodontist. Now with less than 200 dollars I’ve seen results I have never seen before. Thank you Dr. Ellie!
Dear Dr Ellie...just came home from my 1st dental cleaning after being on your program for only 3 and a half weeks....best checkup ever!!!!!! He said my teeth had no plaque, no tartar, my worst tooth pocket had reduced from 5 to 3!!! He wished all his patients were like me!!!! His day would be shortened 10 fold! Thank you Dr Ellie!!!!!❤❤❤ what a blessing you are
Great news. Thx for the update
Congratulations to you - how wonderful.
Sadly it is really rare for dental offices to see mouth health improve - mostly it is on a downward spiral.
Cool - and thanks for sharing :)
@@dr.elliephillips Please address my question above about Listerine. I am someone who swears by your program. My question concerns crucial information on the safety of Listerine.

So neat!
"He wished all his patients were like me!!!! His day would be shortened 10 fold!" - but does he really? Because then, so also would his profits. Maybe your specific dentist does actually feel that way, and if so, great - but what would he do if suddenly all of his patients had a perfectly healthy mouth LOL?

I've been to 5, FIVE dentists in Kalispell MT and NONE of them have been helpful about preserving teeth and gums, ALL of them were however quick to say I needed CROWNS $2.5k to $6k each. This is AFTER they told me I was losing my bone structure, so I asked everyone of these "dentists" "why would I get a crown if the bone structure underneath is eroding?" Dr. Ellie Phillips YOU are so right a/b Lobbyists here in the U.S.A. it is all a/b money, and DUES to the association be it Dentists, Realtors, CPA, etc., etc. THANK YOU!!!!
If they said you are losing bone, that’s called periodontal disease. Perio disease can be stopped. Get a “deep cleaning “ which is called SRP. Then clean your teeth daily with electric toothbrush, floss, and a water pick. Get the crown to save the tooth. Xylitol helps to prevent further decay. It takes time, effort and some money, but you CAN get your mouth healthy again.
@@JodeeWalton-n2b Thank you so much!
That’s pretty pricey for one crown. I live in the Midwest and one crown cost about $1000.00.
@@sandyjohnson5111 WE used to have that kind of pricing too Sandy, in 2020 we had a/b 44k Californian's, TX's, ppl from AL, AR etc., and our home prices AND rents doubled and almost tripled in some places. Crowns did same.
I'm not entirely sure if I remember this correctly, but when I did research for my mother's friend who has a similar issues as you, I read that crowns are needed so that you would actually use your teeth for chewing and stuff like that. For example, my mother's friend used to wear dentures but they weren't done correctly so they didn't fit as they should, and after she took them out she stopped wearing them for years, and because of that she started losing the bone beneath her teeth (sorry I don't know the terminology, I'm from Europe), the bone started deteriorating- because she didn't use it for a long time. She needs crowns on her remaining teeth (and fixed dentures of course) so that she can start actually using her teeth and so that she doesn't lose more of her bone. So when you get crowns to be able to use your teeth again and when you chew you press on those bones and you signal to your body that you're using your teeth, so the bone stops deteriorating. Basically, if you don't use them- you lose them, just like when you don't use your muscles for a long period of time, they atrophy.
Take this with a grain of salt of course, I was researching about this a couple years ago so I may be misremembering some things.
Also, be careful with taking too much xylitol (no more than 30-40 grams a day) because it could be dangerous and it will have some side effects, don't take it when pregnant or breastfeeding, and it's extremely toxic to pets like dogs and cats.
I looked at a few scientific studies about the effects of xylitol on teeth and cavities, and most of them are poorly done or they conclude that xylitol isn't really that effective for treating cavities, so beware of the placebo effect before spending a large amount of money on it. I encourage you to research xylitol on your own, if you want of course, and it's better to use reputable sources and to look at several studies, because one small study doesn't mean anything and they are often poorly done.
Anyways, I hope you're having a great day and good luck with your health journey! 🍀
Dr. Phillips, I changed to xylitol gum due to the dangers of aspartame. I only found out about the benefits by accident when I started researching it several months ago, and I have seen the benefits. Dentists in the US don't want us to know about the wonders of xylitol. Many of them are like car garage attendants, trying to make as much from patients as they can. It's great to see a dentist that really cares about prevention.

I’m not questioning your testimonial in a negative way, just curious if you had cavities before?
Where do you get xylitol in Canada?
@@cola109 Amazon and health food stores...mints like Zellies or gum
Great vid. Please no background music. So many you tubers feel compelled to buy background music into everything. It doesn’t enhance the info being presented. Thank you
i am sure some people enjoy it but for some reason that music in videos is mostly painful to my ears, glad i am not the only one
I hardly notice it…it’s so low.
The music enhances the enjoyment of the video, that's why everybody uses background music.
The music makes it difficult to process what is being said. It distracts the mind.
For me it scares my subconscious brain (fight/flight mode). It is certainly difficult to stay in my neutral state and absorb the knowledge of this new subject properly. I had to rewind many times to hear it properly and and the music makes it much more tiring to listen.
Still I am very grateful for sharing your knowledge, so thank you Dr. Ellie!

I have worked in dentistry 50 years. Guided Biofilm Therapy is one of the best new treatments I have experienced. Of course the powerful sugar lobbyist are negating this wonderful product. Keep up the good work.
Where do you get xylatol found only xylatol melts.
Let’s be honest here. The food supply in the US is horrendous. There’s so many chemicals, additives and dyes in our processed food. Most medical and dental doctors just tow the big Pharma line. Thank you Dr Ellie for letting people know the many ways xylitol can help us! 🥰
My concern is how media cherry picks what they want to tell the world...
It would be nice if we could find an alternative to the listerine and ACT products you recommend, Dr. Ellie, that have dyes and unecessary additives.
@@evansmith8463 I used a coconut oil base toothpaste I made years ago and got my gums to heal. Do a little research and find one you can make yourself. Use xylitol for sweetener. The gum I like to chew is Refresh. Plant based. Also colloidal silver kills bad bacteria and won’t wreck your mouth biome. Use the same principles Dr Ellie uses but make it your own. You can do this!
It’s not horrendous… it’s evil.
Hence the prevalence of cancer
I gave my 25 year old son xylitol when he was school-age all the time. Gum. Mints. And toothpaste. He has no cavities and he hardly ever brushes his teeth. I still have to remind him to brush. But he has NO CAVITIES. I follow this lady. She knows what she's talking g about. By the way my brother and nephew have a thriving dental practice. I haven't had a Cleaning in a year.

Nice.
Just make sure your dogs don’t get it, it’s very toxic.
Which gums mints and toothpaste did you gave?! Can you share?
Have your Brother and Nephew told you to keep quiet yet 🤣
That part about making you feel more satiated & full & having no desire to eat makes so much sense ! I’ve been following your program for about 3 weeks now or so & I’ve been eating SOOO much less. I’m already down 15 pounds just by simply eating way less than I was before where I was completely insatiable in my appetite.
I was wondering why I seemed to eating so much less.
Her comment stuck a chord with me too
Oh, my, I missed the part about eating less when I watched the video… Just by eating the mints after meals and nothing else for an hour? That’s made the difference for you?
I want to let others know her online oral boot camp is something I highly recommend. It is extremely informative and also very relaxing to watch.
Thank you for your kind comment.
I think when you start using the system it can be helpful to tweak the different parts of the system for maximum benefit.
I am glad you have found that video content useful.
I appreciate your testimonial....and glad you found it relaxing - LOL!
WHere do you find the bootcamp?
I thank God for this lady and her mouthcare system. I have no confidence in traditional dentists. their advice actually causes (in my opinion and experience) tooth and gum problems.
Same here!
Another great video from Mother Ellie! Thank you so much for your passion towards the general public and exposing the dentistry practice in the US.

Dr Ellie, I have been using your complete mouth care system for 3 months now, and significantly decreased my consumption of processed sugars. My mouth always feels so clean all the time. I dont get morning breath anymore and even after eating, my teeth always feel so smooth and my breath is always fresh. 2 cavities I've had that are in the early stage (white spots on the teeth) are almost completely gone now and I no longer have dry mouth.
Her protocol WORKS! I’ve been on it 9 months now. Very very little plaque now, and I went every 3 months to have them rocks removed 😆. NO MORE frequent visits to the dentist.
Lay off those cupcakes.
I just started her protocol 3 weeks ago and I love it!
Yes, and A beautiful taste is in my mouth now.
My own real taste!
@@mjblue84 I too started with wife 1 week ago and noticing the difference - Thanks Dr Ellie Phillips indeed!
Carnivore for 2 month my gums are way better. No plaque, i don't need to brush. High carb diet has ruined my life the last two years. Deep depression not so much anymore. But my teeth now could kill me short term, i can't stop looking at them.. i'm such an idiot. I can't handle it
Thank you, I had constant dental problems all my life, gum problems also, I followed your program and have not had any dental problems now for over a year, no plaque and gums are tight and pink. God Bless You.
Me too worked after 3 months of uses!!
Can you describe the basic protocol? I have receded gums on a couple teeth.
@tarafox6618 follow the links below and go to the website, it is extensively explained there also Dr Phillips has numerous videos on the subject on TH-cam.
1)use the right xylitol gum or mints after meals and here and there, maybe like 6 times a day. She has mints/gum called Zellies you can find.
2)morning and night do the following in this order:
A)mouth wash with closys mouthwash sensitive ONLY (do not use the healthy gum one.
B) brush teeth with regular Crest. Do not use the other options of crest, only regular cavity protection basic crest.
C)mouth wash with original listerine
D)mouth wash with basic ACT. I think this only comes with flavors, so pick a basic one, not any special extra option.
I would watch her hour long video. Its worth it. She goes in to depth about the exact right ones to use and extra tips and techniques. I might not be relying it exactly right.
@@shawnpennington7272 Thanks for the reply - I was entertaining my grandchildren last night :) - and no devices were allowed - LOL!
These days more than ever we will need to pay attention to toothpaste - Crest is coming out with an exact look-alike toothpaste that is horrible.
Always look for SODIUM fluoride and avoid STANNOUS fluoride - no matter how well they market this toxic compound.....
it seems they may discontinue the SODIUM fluoride one and likely because the cost of sodium fluoride: it is the most expensive kind of fluoride/ stannous is one of the cheapest.
Look for "SODIUM"....avoid "STANNOUS".....Confusing - but vital to learn the difference

I had to have two root canals 2 months ago which made me start paying attention to my oral health. Over the last two months I have been using her system plus the xylitol. My dentist said it looks like some of my cavities are shrinking. We’re now holding off on treating them.
Brilliant
I HAVE A QUESTION. ARE YOU USING XYLITOL POWDER OR XYLITOL CHEWING GUM?
How bad is your cavities ? Is it become a black teeth ?
I’ve just gotten off of three weeks of antibiotics due to a terrible infection actually caused by using dental picks and brushing too hard. I just wanted to share that cleaning too much can cause you potentially life threatening infection. I now understand that I must brush very gently, I use a small children’s brush now, and I stopped flossing and tooth picks. I only rinse with water, mouth wash, apple cider vinegar in water (making sure to rinse with water after very very thoroughly), and very soft rubber intermittent brushes. Rinsing with water is very important. I also take Xylitol. On a different note. After starting Xylitol, by tummy is now flat. No longer bloated. I used to bloated for so many years despite eating healthy and excercising. 😊 Very pleased with Xylitol. I have a beautiful jar for tea, filled with Xylitol pastilles, on my desk now. 😊
Actually i would never use vinegar. Vinegar is incredible acidic and depletes your teeth from minerals. Even lemons and limes are much better because it contains a lot of vitamine C and calcium. Salt is also amazing for desinfecting teeth. But Vinegar no stay away from it as far as you can
Perhaps look into xylitol and you may like my book Mouth Care Comes Clean which explains why too much cleaning is bad for mouth health - but on the other side of the coin - we need to rid the mouth of infected biofilm AKA plaque.
We need to understand that our mouths are part of our microbiome - which means that purging (& perhaps excessive brushing) harms the essential microbes & balance. It’s not about killing off everything living in our mouth.
You are absolutely right. I lost a tooth because of Apple cider vinegar 😢@1282louise
Thanks Ellie, for this correction of the recent media hype. The quoted study was not research. But the media tried to malign xylitol. It's unfortunate.
The way this was reported is "eyebrow raising" to say the least....Thanks for your comments.
Please address the Cleveland study linking xylitol to increased risks of heart attack and stroke. I am interested in hearing your take on it.
You can see my response and read reputable studies on xylitol here: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
Thankyou Dr Ellie for your response to this latest study, and the time you have taken to address the issues raised.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you! I will take a look at that!
I heard this study too so I will only use it to rinse my mouth.
The Cleveland Clinic has a McDonalds in their food court. So much for heart health.
I went 5 years without dental insurance and used xylitol all the time. My teeth were the healthiest they've ever been.
Did you just chew the gum?
Did you do the protocol as well?
Can you please suggest me all recommend products.
I'm from Pakistan and cannot understand English accent.
Please share all details in written, it will be great favor of me
I have six pounds of xylitol from Swanson Vitamin or Amazon.
@@crazybrains922 Put it in your mouth, xylitol, and swish it around. Get five pounds for thirty dollars.
Thankyou Dr. Ellie you’ve been a true wealth of knowledge I’ve done my best to order all items for your complete system in uk and ave made a difference beyond belief ive had pain from a pin/ cap in front causing receding gum pain ,probs when drinking eatin and dentist were just temporary filling around receding gum which then caused more irritability . Your system after a wk or two had diminished pain and mouth ws feelin clean to wake in mornings , spreading your knowledge is preventing sooo many people from bein in pain , Thankyou soooo very much 🤗
Hi Dr. Ellie, I started watching your videos about a month ago and I'm picking up a lot of tips. I have ordered the products you recommend off of Amazon and I purchased some of your gum and mints... I continue to be educated on tooth care, but this also dovetails with the knowledge I have on the Keto diet that is about reducing processed foods, sugars, etc. and I think that combination would be very powerful for overall health. We don't need all that junk food in our diets anyway. Thanks again, Cheers!
Yes, My husband & I are both 60 & using you oral care system Including the Zellies. Thank you SO MUCH for making these for us to use. The Zellies really help.❤
Not this American. I’ve been using xylitol to brush my teeth for 20 years. Also, use it as a nose spray. Stops sinus infections in its tracks. My dentist finally recommended using it for the first time a year ago. So, the US is slowly getting it.
Here in Finland where it has been used for years it sweetens all the gums and children get a dose of it after lunches. My husband is a retired dentist and he explained to me that it was studied here.
How about remineralization? Are Dr Ellie’s claims, based on her system legit?
@@capgains I Am not an expert. But, my husband is a dentist in Finland, Xylitol has been studied in here and found to help with tooth decay prevention. Her information about the sweetener is correct as far as I have observed here.
@@capgains Well, studies in Turku said that in fact it does do that. It has been used in Finland, where I live, for at least 25 years. I moved here then and it is a common habit. hmmmm, let me take a look if I can find the information in English.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10777132/
I distrust the negative studies . Too many entities make money off of fluoride, tooth implements, pastes, gels, flosses etc., i forgot machines to clean between teeth and, most important, dental insurance and dentists themselves.
My mouth feels comfortable with the xylitol - not stripped or burned.
Yeah, I'm sure the lady selling Xylitol is totally unbiased
I found positive studies in pubmed.
I’m one of those people that has a sensitivity to xylitol. To combat this, I dissolve a couple of teaspoons of xylitol in plain water and use it as a mouth rinse after every meal. 😊
Ohhhhhhh, I’m glad I read this! I’m sensitive also!
If it's a "stool" issue I recommend adding a small amount of Monk Fruit sweetener to it. I've had no issues with the Xylitol since I started doing that.
What a good idea! I have switched to a xylitol toothpaste.
How can you tell if you are allergic to xylitol?
@@AnotherWorld_DeepRestit’s not an allergy they are referring to, it’s a sensitivity which affects the gut…gives you pain and diarrhoea. Some people get these effects, therefore using it as mouthwash, not swallowing. You will know if you are or not after eating, but it’s a temporary effect.
I mentioned to my husband last night that I had a dental appointment coming up today. Now this video comes up. Hmm... As a side note, I've been using a xylitol toothpaste exclusively since my last cleaning. Curious to see what my dentist says today. Their office doesn't push fluoride and I'm glad! Thanks for the info.
SO HAPPY to see you address SOME info. I have found great results with your system BUT gave up the Xylitol after seeing the recent reports about heart attacks/strokes and damage to heart health from Cleveland Clinic. I wish you addressed this.
i read about it also, studies shown that xylitol causes higher risks of blood clots and stroke. they say we should limit xylitol intake and that it's true that our body creates some as well
True. Though there was a similar study with Erythritol last year regarding strokes and heart attacks, and that was thoroughly debunked (check out BioLayne as an example). The study was flawed, and I suspect this one may be too.
You can see my response and read reputable studies on xylitol here: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
I followed her link she replied with which did not address this specific concern. I hope she will look into it and do a show addressing this.
@@Leilexahi Lex, I heard about those reports in regard to erythritol. Are you sure it's also happening with xylitol?
Thank you for your help, Dr Ellie! ❤️
it’s amazing to me that more people don’t hop onto this protocol, which I think it in many ways points to the advertising of toxic foods, and sugars as well. I think your video is quite valuable, and I will share it with all my friends, I am a big proponent of using xylitol and suggested to anyone who will discuss issues, Regarding teeth or even general health
Agreed. It works, at least it has for us. But with recent mad publicity around xylitol, it's good she did this. She shared links to other xylitol studies as well.
@@katashley1031 Yes, thankfully we have real heroes who are truly concerned with the health of the public, and improving life in general with truisms and not false statements
Part of the problem getting people to do this protocol is lack of awareness. When she talks about this Complete Care System it sounds like she’s selling something which I think turns people off. It takes a bit of digging or watching an hour plus video to realize it’s just a protocol of using 3 different over the counter mouthwashes with some rules for how and when. The system has dramatically improved my gums and is removing plaques. Now I see three teeth with caries and I’m hopeful the caries will heal. I realize that’ll probably take several months if it happens at all. I lost one tooth to gum disease then I found this program and now have confidence I should be able to stop the downhill slide.
@@RobC1999 yes that actually goes to my point people are so easily swayed by big corporations when they put their ads in the media people don’t ask questions about that they just consume and consume and then suffer later for it I mean essentially this wonderful doctors telling the truth and there is proof of this truth and I think you’re right people don’t want to do the research but again they will consume product they knew nothing about you put a pill on the media or some sort of product that is obviously not a good thing and people were consuming anyway
Wow you started and ran a restaurant as well. You are superwoman Dr Ellie. Really I mean that. No challenge is insurmountable for you. You are an inspiration.
What she is saying is so true, that’s is more benefits from xylitol, I was very sensitive to cows milk, a tiny bit of yogurt was enough to create discomfort, gas. since I started using xylitol gums, my stomach is completely different. I did as able to have yogurt today!!!
You should stop consuming dairy after 6 years old, that's our nature we loose ability to digest lactose.
I updated my dental routine according to Dr Ellie's recommendations and the results are really good. Broke my jaw in an accident years ago and half of my mouth is weaker than the other half, but this routine has taken the swelling out of the gums.
I am confident that regular use of xylitol will eliminate the cavity I have. I am seeing improvements already from a couple of weeks of use! Thank you!
You should put a short memo about how it’s dangerous for dogs in all your videos. Thanks for putting that in!
She mentions the warning for dogs and xylitol in the video
Also cats
She literally did. Might be good to watch before posting.
The warning about pets should be at the beginning of every video. Not everyone watches the whole video.
Why would anyone feed this to their pets anyway.
Three years ago, I had a root canal treatment. Immediately after the procedure, I told the dentist that I was feeling some mild pain. He said the pain was coming from the adjacent tooth. But it's my mouth, and I know where the pain was coming from. To this day, I still feel mild pain. Something isn't right, and I don't know what to do.
I’m certainly interested, but two concerns have surfaced:
1. In recent years, some research suggests that even a sweet taste, regardless of its source, can trigger insulin spikes.
2. A recent news article reported that Xylitol is linked to higher incidences of heart attacks.
If these claims can be debunked, I’m in! Very well presented video!
This study was done on only 10 individuals. The timing of blaming heart attacks/strokes on xylitol is odd, with so many other things being blamed on the uptick of heart attacks/strokes after the rollout of the Covid vaccine - blaming these things on so many different things, including too much joy!!
"A recent news article"
Just this tells you it's probably bought and paid for by a sponsor. The news are not a reliable source for health.
@@janehorning5209 Agree. Can see why there are many skeptical responses to research, especially with sugar alcohols, along with keto and carnivore diets. Too much money at stake I guess.
See the link at the very top, first comment, by Dr. Ellie. Or go to her website. The study was very weak and funded by business interests.
@@BillSmith-fx7xx Righto. Thanks for that. I thought she must have heard about it, even though I don’t remember hear it mentioned in this video. ‘Weak’ and ‘business interests’ seems to commonly come to mind even before we look into these ‘studies’. Looks like I’ll continue enjoying my Xylitol then! :)
Dear Dr. Ellie, thank you so much for all your educational efforts! My relative and I have been following your recommendations for a year and have achieved amazing results: we visited our dentists for our annual check and, as you advised, asked whether we need a cleaning. The answer was NO! In addition, a year ago, I had dark spots on X-rays in three interproximal locations - an X-ray during my recent visit showed no dark spots. I have been strictly following your recommendations concerning xylitol (love your Zellie’s mints and gums!) and for three months used your Complete Mouth Care System. Now, I am an enthusiastic advocate of your approach and am strongly recommending it to all my relatives and friends. I have a question concerning xylitol. I understood from your videos that you recommend using birch xylitol. Some people, especially in foreign countries cannot find it. Can any granular xylitol be used or should it only be birch xylitol?
Why are you taking radiation? No matter what source of xylitol. Granulated xylitol may induce much less saliva compared to mints or gum
I've been doing the protocol for three weeks. Teeth have become discolored as others have reported, browning or yellowing at the gum line. I understand that it is plaque. Does this discoloration stop at some point or will it require cleaning of some kind or brushing with xylitol crystals with toothpaste?
I absolutely enjoy watching your videos, thank you.
Can one exceed the number of Zellies from 5 to perhaps 10?? I love the taste and can’t stop myself.
I'm into a month with your complete oral health care including xylitol...my first dental checkup is this tuesday since starting with your oral system...Will lyk the results!!! Im too excited to find out...thank you
How did it go? Mine is on Wednesday but I've only just found out about it and ordered the products today 😅
I started to use a toothpaste with high procent of xylitol few months ago by accident. Later found information about xylitol by dr. Ellie, checked my toothpaste, then checked my teeth. The plaque on my teeth had disappared! I had enjoyed the benefit of xylitol before even learning about it. 😊Now my husband has started with the same program.
I‘d love to hear your opinion about the latest study that shows an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes linked to Xylitol.
You can see my response and read reputable studies on xylitol here: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
The study is behind a paywall. What does the study say is a safe amount?
It seems to me, the established order jumps to negate any natural remedy that makes it into the mainstream. Dr. Ellie has been discussing this for decades, and now suddenly it’s all over the internet. My perception about this study regarding stroke & heart attacks, is that it involves eating copious amounts of xylitol thru baking or sugar replacement. In any case, I am with Dr. Ellie.
It is better to use it as a mouthwash by putting some granules or the sugar in the mouth, swish it around for a few minutes and then spit it out because you don't know the side effects, what I do know is that it gives diarrhoea. I put less than a tea spoon in my mouths and I shake it around and some minutes after I get rid of it. So I wouldn't use gums or mints.
@@beahaven The study does not say xylitol is unsafe...which is why this should never have been reported this way by the media.
To understand why the group of P & G / Pfizer + private equity funding from Germany did the study - understand they are looking to have a patent for a blood test to measure blood platelet activity.
This test was all about blood platelet activity - and activity is always increased when there is a need for "healing" or stress and in faact when people have gum/periodontal disease.
So, 10 subjects drank 30 grams of xylitol and to some degree their platelet activity increased - THAT is what the study showed.
No one had any clinical symptoms - and 30 grams in one shot after fasting is a LOT of xylitol.
Our body makes 15 grams of xylitol daily by metabolism - and so we should be able to extrapolate that 15 grams over the course of a day is something the body understands easily.
For oral health I recommend 5-10 grams a day AFTER meals and spaced out as 1-2 grams x5 daily.
This means your platelet activity could rise if you drink 30 grams after a fast and may be high if you have risk factors for heart problems - (the 10 people were at a heart clinic and may have been overweight, had diabetes, gum disease etc....we have no idea about them.)
In fact at the end of the Cleveland announcement it states that the amounts in mints and gum are too small to be considered.
The news media obviously missed that part of the article.
So the take away at this time - maybe have some caution about drinking quantities of xylitol after a fast.
I would say the same about salt - and maybe they should test that next - it is great in small quantities - but don't drink 30 grams in one sitting.
Xylitol gums are sold at pharmacy registers in Greece for tooth health. The problem is that I can’t use it as I do intermittent fasting and the only thing I can use is stevia which has zero calories.
Xylitol does not effect glucose levels, same as stevia
@@SunnyCarnivore how are you sure about this? It has calories. That means it does. It has low glycemic index but this doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect glucose levels.
You can just rinse xylitol in your mouth for a few seconds (I think she mentioned 30 sec) and spit it out...that's how I do it. Of course you have still some mini amounts in your mouth.
The Dollar General store close to me sells a brand of candy called Zaffi Taffy... has Xylitol in taffy bites and lollipops... it's not super expensive.. it's a little bit pricey for the amount that you get.. but tastes wonderful.... I highly recommend it....
Just gotta say thank you Dr. Ellie.. sharing your wisdom in such a chill friendly manner...
I've been chewing gum with xylitol in it for two years!
I had to have an implant where a previous dentist had made me a partial after I went in asking for an implant. The first dentist really messed up the tooth next to the one that was removed as well. The second dentist fixed everything and in doing that he had to do a bone graft. It was pretty involved and took quite a bit of time and I was 70 and took some time to heal.
Now I'm healed and love my second dentist. I thought he had somehow made all my teeth feel tighter & stronger. After all I've heard now about xylitol, I'm not so sure that IT didn't make the difference in my teeth! I had a lot of stress over my teeth and was chewing the mint gum for constant indigestion!
Very interesting!😳🤔
I have had the same result!
Same
I love your gums!!! The routine of chewing the gum after meals and before sleep is so helpful!!
Appreciate so much your protocol and dental system you share. I'm new to it. Thank you!!
Dear Dr.Ellie, Thank You so much for your Insights, and for helping me find my way to Xylitol!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I understand now why xylitol is suppressed...it would destroy the fluoride industry 😏
If you look into fluoride , all the ingredients for it at the beginning of its discovery aren’t for our good health.
@@shish_taouk Watch Dr. David Brownstein's discussion with Dr. Ken Barry about Iodine. It will answer that question (hint: it has to do with industrial waste and greed) and many many more. Every person on Earth needs to watch that very informative video.
Xlitol is not suppressed. Its in every supermarket in uk health shop and amazon..that is not suppression. If it was suppressed you would not easily get it at all.
There is a fluoride industry here in the United States. They put it in our tap water whether we want it or not. And there is a heavy push to use it at any dental office. Suppression of information or even just omission is still suppression imo. Xylitol is not carried everywhere here in the US either. I have to make a special trip to certain stores or order from the internet. But I think a more accurate statement would be that it threatens the dental industry as a whole.
More like dentists want to make money filling cavities. They don't have to be consciously aware of this incentive for it to influence them.
There has been a study reported in the media lately that xylitol may promote hazardous blood clotting, though the one actual paper I could find did not present definitive conclusions and involved giving people 30g in one drink, which temporarily raised their blood level by a high amount. I would love to see Dr. Ellie comment on this, and if she sees a net cardiovascular risk in xylitol consumption at this time, given the excellent dental benefits that are known and proven.
It was an observational study on 10 really sick patients - and they gave them 30 grams of xylitol to drink in a few minutes - immediately after fasting. All subjects had experienced heart problems, a large number were diabetic and their gum disease status was not recorded ( a risk for heart problems).
Study was funded by private equity groups - a red flag.
To dissolve that much xylitol requires you heat it up and then cool it down - quite a procedure.
Who drinks 30 grams.
Anyway, no one had any clinical symptoms - just their blood showed an increase in platelet activity - which can mean a number of things.
The media went wild within 2 hours of the study - skewing the message - almost purposefully.
The study is behind a European paywall - and it costs $45 to read it.
Strange...to say the least.
Here is a link to some other studies about xylitol that the media have never reported:
zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
@@dr.elliephillips Many thanks Dr. Ellie, I appreciate you taking the time to read my comment and further share your expertise on this subject. FYI I am another success story with your system - I bought a Kindle copy of “Kiss Your Dentist” when I had a significant dental concern back in ’19, and today my teeth and gums are better than they have been in 30 years, including with the use of xylitol. Also I hear you about the paywall issue with that paper, I had to try several different links before I found one that was not paywalled. FYI for anyone else interested, as of today if you google “xylitol thrombotic pdf” the NIH link further links to a copy on the Euro Heart Journal that is not currently paywalled.
Dr. Ellie, not one day after I watched your video about your system - approx a 2 weeks ago; a few days after, there was a news clip about the dangers of an artificial sweetener, but didn't state what it was until they came back from the break. I thought to myself that I bet it will be Xilytol... of course it was. I think anything that looks like it might "interfere" with ideas about health care previously established will come up against those who'll try to discredit it. I hope it will come to the point where we look into things for ourselves before we dismiss what might be useful and can empower us to be more self- sufficient with our health. Also, thanks for the instruction for proper use of the gum!
Thank you for your support
I am seeing all this media reporting - and wonder about what are all the reasons for skew and media bias.
It has to purely be $$$
If you - or your friends - want to read other studies about xylitol and a note explaining the study:
zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you; I appreciate being able to receive info so that I can discern for myself, what's right for me.
I've been chewing the gum for about 11 months. The dentist has noticed improvement at 6 months. I notice little things like my teeth feel smother. I haven't seen any improvement in the damage and bone loss but I have stopped seeing "pink in the sink". I also noticed there was no bleeding when my dentist cleaned my teeth and gums. I'm going to continue use and report my experiences.
Another thing that tells me how good xylitol is, is that Starbucks sells gum in their stores. That gum is xyiltol sweetened. They know that with all the sweetened drinks, it behooves them to have a xylitol gum to offset the sugar in the drinks.
You can also swap out the sweetener with sugar free vanilla or stevia.
I LOVE Xylitol! I’ve been using it for many years and I can’t believe it’s not better known. I’m in Australia and it’s not well known here either.
I use it to improve intestinal health. My husband uses Xylimelts every night to reduce dry mouth symptoms and has found them amazingly effective.
Thanks for your video!
Several months ago you said you were going to make a how to brush video if you could get a grandkid to help demonstrate I believe. Could you please make that video? I'm nervous if I am brushing the right way because I don't want to damage my gums after switching from almost 20 years of using electric brushes to using the Dr. Plotka's manual brush you recommend. Thank you!
This video is on the docket!
I love Xylitol. I used to buy birch sugar in bulk from Finland. That was about 15 or 16 years ago , but now I can find it fairly easily in stores. I use it to brush my teeth, and it eliminates morning dragon breath. I also understand that xylitol increases bone density. Since fungi, virus, and bacteria can't live on xylitol it's not surprising to me that it also impacts cancer cells. It certainly doesn't feed them, like glucose does. Thank you for your advocacy of this incredible sugar.
Turns out I was chewing the gum too long. I understand now. Thank you!!!
Me too
For how long should one chew the xylitol gum?
@@kingdompr7462: Good question. Would like that answered too.
@@kingdompr74622 to 10 min
But no more than that or you promote the wrong saliva
She said 2-10 min😊
Ive been using your protocol for about a month and have seen tremendous gum regrowth around my premolars and molars, lower, both sides. Chewing Xylitol gum really helpd me
Since I have been following Dr. Ellie Phillips protocol, including the use of xylitol, my mouth feels better than ever before in my life.
I enjoy Dr. Ellie's mints daily, and they have been a blessing to my teeth. The sensitivity is completely gone.
I recently had a crown that I believe wasn’t necessary now my tooth is sensitive and the dentist wants to do a root canal. Will xylitol help with the sensitivity?
I wish you would also deliver products to Europe
Dr. Ellie, I have started a bit of your program by just adding Xylitol, and massaging gums with Dr. Plotkas toothbrushes and have already seen results. My main problem was loose, receding gums. I have seen my exposed roots being covered back up and my teeth have been cleaner than ever! Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Ellie!
i’d love to hear your health effects comparison on using xylitol vs glycine and also both combined as a sugar alternative
Thank you for mentioning the 10 min gum
Please let me know if it can restore enamel on teeth that had a root canel.
I literally just bought my second zellies mints. I got the cool fruit. There’s enough in there to eat them without thinking “they’re going fast”. Everytime I ate I would eat two. I finally bought the full mouthcare system as I have only been doing steps 2, 3, & xylitol(using listerine first since it washes away fluoride). Now I have steps 1-4 & xylitol. I’m so sorry Dr Phillips I know u need all the steps. Now I feel complete. I’ve been telling everybody about zellies mints even if I have to buy them for them. They taste great! It’s almost inspiring me to make a tik tok about my experience.
Thanks for your comment and support! Ellie
The CREST toothpaste you recommend has BLUE 1 in the ingredients. This is still the best toothpaste to buy?
Dr Ellie, I’m a diligent follower of your mouthcare system. However what are your thoughts about an article in the Telegraph (UK) today that says that regular use of Listerene (cool mint) may increase certain types of cancer causing bacteria. This follows a study that was recently done in Belgium.
I look forward to reading the book. My question is, does xylitol cause a glucose spike. If so, is it less than other sweeteners?
I read a couple of articles the other day, warning people that new studies show.... xylitol causes heart attacks and strokes. I love xylitol and will be using it forever.
You can see my response and read reputable studies on xylitol here: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
After the jabs of the last few years they can likely demonize any product they want and say it causes blood clots and heart attacks.
You need to do an interview with Dr. Sean O'Mara about microbiome health. I think the two of you would find a lot of common ground.
He is not a dentist.
@@kronos77Which is exactly the point of this video - how the benefits of xylitol go beyond dental health
Ok, but of all the people out there, why o mara? Sorry but I have a very different view than you do. I dont find o mara to be particularly worth following.
Sean omara is fantastic! Although I don’t agree with this lady about mouthwash! It destroys all the bacteria in the mouth! But I’m looking forward to now starting with xylitol as I have a lot of cavities unfortunately now!
@@gaiacielo5090 I've just scheduled to create a video about this misconception on mouthwash.
It's actually interesting - a mix between some good studies and some horrible scientific and media reporting.
The intent was good - but understanding is missing.
Not ALL mouthwash is bad for you - and the topic is misunderstood......more to come!
Hi Ellie, I’m a big fan. I really enjoyed your book and switched over to your complete mouthcare system immediately. I saw great results within a few weeks and was over the moon, I told everyone that would listen about it and showed them your videos.
It is extremely difficult to get these products in the UK, it costs a hell of a lot of money. I noticed you had a list of alternative products that were available in the UK so I immediately bought them.
(Ultra dex, Crest anticavity, listerine cool mint, Colgate fluoriguard)
I have used these products from the last 10 weeks and I have noticed a rapid decline in my mouth health. My gums have become sensitive when brushing again and I have even felt a bit of tooth pain.
I definitely think these products need a re think on your list as my partner has found exactly the same thing happen. I am not sure what to do now.
Thanks 🙏💚
I don’t know what to tell you . But I really am appreciative of this report.. have you taken advantage of the training I have on my video bootcamp that is at DrEllie.com?
This camp explains ways you can boost your results, and that may be helpful
Please keep in touch and let’s try to determine if perhaps Xylitol is the most important part of the system - and see if we can get some Zellies over to the UK
Dr. Ellie, Please tell is how to use xylitol granules instead of the mints and gums. Thank you
Yes would like to know as well
1/5th teaspoon is about 1 gram x5 after meals daily.
total recommended amount for oral health is 5-10 grams daily.
You could dip a strawberry into the granules and have this as an ending for a meal.
Raspberries and strawberries naturally contain xylitol and make a great "tooth safe" ending for meals.
@@dr.elliephillips thanks as sometines I have trouble with the chewy and mints as my mouth is sensotive to peppermint and spearmint it makes it burn and irritates it for days so thanks
@@dr.elliephillips❤
Well I bit the bullet and went to the dentist after 10 years.. I'm 44. I have to get a deep cleaning, but the dentist was really impressed with the condition of my teeth and gums for not having been in so long. After I do this, with a fresh start, I'm going to look into your protocol!
You should get on my system FIRST and make that deep cleaning more productive and more comfortable for you and your hygienist.
Just saying :) That would be my recommendation

@@dr.elliephillips Thank you; I went to the store today, couldn't find the regular crest cavity prevention, but they had the children's version. Ingredients looked the same so I bought it. I noticed the Closys contains chlorine dioxide. I'm already into MMS, but I was thinking about it, and it seems taking an oral MMS protocol such as 1000, or Protocol C for CDS would contradict what you say about not drinking between meals. With those protocols, you have to take a sip every hour. Not only that, MMS and CDS are acidic. Are you against the use of them?
Been using Xlear nasal spray, which contains Xylitol, since The beer bug. Haven't been sick in over 2 years.
Hi. I have a couple questions about xylitol. Does it raise your blood sugar? Are your Zelle’s and xylitol organic/ GMO?
I've stopped taking the xylitol now, as it exacerbated my menopause symptoms in the way that sugar does - increased hot flushes, night sweats, etc. I also developed an irritating dry cough, which I put down to summer pollution at first, but the cough and menopause symptoms stopped within a couple of days of stopping taking the mints. So listen to your body when trying something new - xylitol won't be for everyone. I'm continuing with the rest of the mouth care products and routine (mouth rinse and toothpaste), and hoping this will be sufficient. It will be interesting to see how my next dental visit in the New Year goes!
The doctor's system is based on regular xylitol intake. Instead of writing these revelations under every video you could consult your gastroenterologist. Xylitol is good for everybody except those with poor health like in that study
Xylitol seems to upset my stomach so I use it as an oral rinse rather than chewing gum. That works well for me.
Please guide us with the oral rinse technique or recipe.
How much xylitol to water ratio?
How long rinsing?
What times of the day?
Hope you reply!
@@WoSarvatraHainActually, you can simply put 1/5 teaspoon of pure xylitol crystals in your mouth. You can chew them or let them dissolve in your saliva. Then rinse your xylitol-sweetened saliva all over your teeth and spit out-or swallow if you aren’t sensitive to it.
@@heidikamrath1951 Okay. thank you for the reply! Helpful strangers like you make the world better
Mam my 30%back tooth just got broken, i got a composite filling now i fear bpa, want to replace it with gold crown. Give your guidance regarding it and does gold crown requires root canal? Please mam reply i am in great need and there are no biomimitic dentist in my country
Interesting! I used to consume Xylitol but then I ran into an article that said Xylitol was very hazardous to dogs...which you also mentioned in this video...it spooked me. I decided in that moment that if it was dangerous for animals (dogs in particular) then how can it be good for me?! Perhaps I was too hasty! I mean even the name sounds like an artificial chemical. When I first discovered it 20 years ago...I thought it was too good to be true...I've had many expensive and bad dental experiences and have lost most of my teeth...mainly because I refused root canals and felt the only option left was extraction. I'll look into this more and re-evaluate. I appreciate this broader view and explanation on what Xylitol is and where is it derived from...that settle me down on my negative opinion of it.
I'm in a similar position with 2 cats. Also looking at possibly needing root canals or extraction or crowns. Havent been able to afford a dentist in years
@@MidgeZA Hoping a happy resolution for you!
second group of 2149 people, they confirmed that higher blood xylitol levels were associated with increased risk of both major adverse cardiovascular events and blood clot formation
You can see my response and read reputable studies on xylitol here: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
None of these studies address cardiovascular events nor blood clots 🤔
@@dr.elliephillips there is no rebuttal on the cardiovascular studies that I find on that link?
Do you have a study to reference that shows increased risk of CV or clot formation related to xylitol?
@@JodeeWalton-n2b pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38842092/
Will Xylitol have the same health benefits and dental benefits if eaten in baked goods? Will the heat of baking destroy the benefits?
I was hoping you were going to address the recent study saying that xylitol is linked to high rates of cancer.
You can see my response and read reputable studies on xylitol here: zellies.com/pages/the-truth-about-xylitol
She’s promoting 5 grams per day. The research on cancer is at a dose of 30-40 grams and likely that’s the folks who are using it as a sweetener and insatiable as many who are using non sugar sweeteners are often seeking so much sweetness because they are addicted to sweetness.
Of course they’d say that. Haven’t you learned in these last 4 years how they’ve lied to us about what truly ISN’T harmful and actually is very beneficial to our health? Come on catch h up!
@@dr.elliephillips You page does not list this study and you do not discuss it. It only makes your motives seem clear, keep selling your gum
@@mikemurphy7519the links beneath her video DO take you to her info about the study and why it's dubious at best.
I’m from Canada so nice to meet you God Bless
Great information! Clears up many issues.
Appreciate your pet warning. It's been ignored because of that toxicity. Friends had some mints in their handbag and their dog got into them. He nearly died. There are many such cases. Xylitol was added to some peanut butter brands and pet owners were unaware and gave it to their dogs for treats. It was all over the news. Sadly, I can't tolerate any of these sugar replacements. They trigger my vertigo migraines. I wish their were other options.
Hi there. I am from Canada and cant get zellies here. I found a gum called Spry. I listened to a video you did that said not yo use the gum with glycerin. Just read the ingredients and spry gum has vegetable glycerin. Can anyone tell me why we shouldnt eat it?
Thanks 😊
According to her, glycerin feeds the unfriendly bacteria (s. mutants) which may be in the mouth.
In Canada the gov is banning health 6:23 supplements after the plandemic because they work.,and are cheaper than Pharma
Still hoping to get an answer to why glycerin is not good for you. Vegetable glycerin is in my gum. Could someone please answer this for me??
@@riverinabowl she says the glycerin feeds the unfriendly bacteria.
Thankyou!!
Hi Dr. Philips. I think it is OK to rinse mouth and spit out. But I wouldn't recommend to digest it so frequently. Because modern mass production technics can involve heavy metals in trace amounts which seems to be dangerous to be a regular food. You have to learn that from factory data, the second hand distributer doesn't care about it. For example, the xylitol I have very probably has these specifications: Lead ≤ 0.5 mg/Kg, other heavy metals ≤ 10 mg/Kg, Nickel ≤ 1 mg/Kg. I wrote "very probably" because most of the manifacturers of the origin country of xylitol I bought have these specifications.
Love this lady!
