This is what I’m seeing at Amazon that’s most similar to what I have:

Don, everyone knows not to give xylitol to dogs. Or, chocolate, among many other safe for human foods.

🙃

What an absurd suggestion.

Are you a dog? No one would know, on the internet! 🤣

FWLIW my anesthesiologist buddy became a believer after seeing it in action. He went and got one.

The squeeze bottles work OK in a pinch, I think better than a Neti pot. But powered is really the way to go.

“Experts have long doubted the effectiveness of phenylephrine,” which is a common ingredient in DayQuil, NyQuil, Sudafed, Mucinex, and others.

Sigh.

And that is why, for decades, those products contained pseudoephedrine which just about everybody recognizes as a highly effective decongestant when taken orally. They are a victim of the "war on drugs"; you'll now find them for sale in restricted quantities from the pharmacist.

Phenylephrine (the "PE" in Sudafed-PE etc.) is garbage when taken orally, and most of us could have told you that 20 years ago ...

Apparently the author is unaware of the huge meth problem.

I observe that the "huge meth problem" is still huge 20 years after pseudoephedrine was exiled to behind the pharmacist's counter. Like the rest of the "war on drugs", it really only inconveniences the honest citizens.

The old ingredient was out of patent and manufactured for pennies each

Both pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine have been out of patent for longer than most folks on this forum have been alive.

When something goes out of patent they try to discredit their own product and introduce something that is inferior, but they have a patent on it.

Look at Freon.

One of the most perfect coolants ever made. The company made billions.

Then it goes off patent...

So, start posting how it is harmful for the environment and get the bureaucrats involved to declare it will doom ‘the environment’ so that no competitors can start making it.

And you introduce your new product that is clearly inferior and so toxic you need special equipment to handle it.
