Can Povidone iodine mouthwash and nasal cleanse, or hydrogen peroxide, or sodium hypochlorite work to cut risk when exposed or infected with COVID (similar viruses/pathogen)? Yes! 100% CAUTION however
Nathan Jones & I (Nathan is owner/CEO of XLEAR Sinus care, XYLITOL-BASED PRODUCTS) recently discussed use of povidone Iodine etc. 'as needed'; Commensal bacteria (normal microflora), mucosa
The issue is that the nasal/oral sinus type products he produces (XLEAR) prevent adhesion of pathogen while povidone iodine (PI) etc. destroys. This is critical yet there is risk that you could with prolonged use of povidone or hydrogen peroxide etc., wipe out your good commensal microbiome, good bacteria etc. and this can be problematic. So we are saying optimal use of the nasal oral washes like povidone iodine etc. as effective as they are, needs use ‘as needed’, e.g. if exposed knowingly, or one has symptoms (initial) of COVID etc. These nasal virucidal products across a range of pathogen are very potent yet should be used ‘as needed’ and not as a chemoprophylaxis (preventive). One should not be using these nasal-oral washes 24/7 daily etc. Use as needed. As an example, people I know who developed symptoms of COVID or cold etc. as they used PI, in a matter of hours, were near back to normal. It is very effective.
Nathan Jones educated me on the range of his Xylitol products. I was impressed.

I suggest Lugol's Iodine is a better alternative, but as Dr. Alexander cautions KNOW how to dilute appropriately .
Lugol's is not a brand name but rather, simply contains TWO forms of Iodine
1. Elemental
2. Iodide
The human body uses and needs BOTH forms.
Lugol's invariably comes in either a 2 percent solution or a FIVE percent solution. It is available on Amazon or good health suppliers globally.
I supplement with Iodine regularly, and strongly recommend reading Dr. David Brownstein's book .

pss - He is a global expert on this topic. . Note - MOST of the global population is serioisly DEFICIENT IN IODINE ! (other than Japan).
FWIW - I use four or five drops of 5 percent in about ten ounces of water and simply drink it to supplement . The water amount is less important . If you find the taste of Iodine unpleasant, simply add more water.
Just st one big advantage of Iodine (amongst MANY benefits) like Selenium (and vitamin C and D3) is that it helps to prevent CANCER.
But using it as mouthwash and best combined also WITH a nasal syringe, (cost about 5 - 8 dollars) will literally KILL bacteria, fungi, viruses, and any pathogens lurking.
If you have ANY symptoms or feel you may have been exposed after a flight or visiting a hospital , these are REALLY helpful HINTS to keep you your normal bionic health .
PS EVEN my hero and mentor Dr. Paul Marik and the famous FLCCC physicians recommend this.
With viruses, as example, the idea is to REDUCE viral load immediately before giving them a chance to take hold.
All airborne pathogens start and lodge in the nasal pharnyx area , so again think also about a nasal rinse with mouthwash.
Best in health.

There you have it: A worldwide "deadly" health emergency....virus from hell....locked up the entire globe...squashed by diluted hydrogen peroxide. Good God almighty.
