10% Povidone-Iodine (PI) (Betadine) or Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) are potent anti-microbial products effective against a wide range of infections including bacterial, viral (COVID), and fungal organisms
In clinical trials, a povidone-iodine (PVP-I) solution as dilute as 0.23% has been shown to be 99.99% effective as an antiviral COVID treatment (in vitro) in just 30 seconds
Povidone-Iodine Nasal/Oral Wash is near 100% effective in killing COVID virus in the nasal oral cavity and had we known of the nasal oral wash (we were clued into this by oral dental surgeons who came forward to explain what they do daily even before COVID emerged to mitigate pathogen exposure from patients), then we would not have needed early treatment. This nasal oral wash is that effective and you should use once you go outside and think you are exposed. Effective prevention and we recommend during this era of such elevated transmission risk from COVID BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants/clades. Especially those who are COVID vaccinated, you are at tremendous risk for infection. Povidone-iodine or hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite, diluted as described, no swallow, swish and spit etc.

Note: not be used in patients undergoing radioactive iodine treatment, pregnant patients, and those with thyroid dysfunction. Use hydrogen peroxide as a replacement for Povidone Iodine or Sodium hypochlorite

Hydrogen peroxide diluted in normal saline rinse is like scrubbing bubbles to break up mucus and pathogens.
Dr McCullough has advocated this for a while and it works. Feel any tinge of a cold and this rinse banishes it.
