Delta/Omicron nasal wash that is important for these and other viral pathogen; we have learnt that povidone iodine, or hydrogen peroxide, or even very dilute sodium hypochlorite kills this virus dead
I shared prior but again, for we are arguing that if you used a nasal wash and mouth gargle, a vast majority of any illness will be cut, dentists use this and I am shocked public health never advocate
Public health sharing:
mix 6oz water (can be distilled or sterilized, up to you and I would prefer that), 1/2 teaspoon real salt (Celtic, Redmonds, any pure salt without additives), and 2 teaspoons povidone iodine or hydrogen peroxide. That should be about the right amount for one treatment…so you may need to make this daily…some suggest make a new batch each 3 days or so…but iodine is potent, kills it dead.
just put some in mouth, swish and spit…no swallowing, and do this 2-3 times a day, especially if you think you went outside and were possibly exposed.
dip a Q-tip in the solution, and stick it inside your nostril tip and clean out tip and insides of nostrils rolling it around, move it around inside the nostrils…if you can use a nasal spray and get it up there in the back of the throat e.g. lavage…don’t swallow, spit it out.
key: never swallow any of these as they are bitter and not meant to swallow…use SCOPE or Listerine (gargle) to get the after taste out for povidone is bitter…just swish and spit…the virus lands in the nostrils and nasal hairs and epithelial layer for a few days…first…our mucosal (mucosae) innate immunity (secretory IgA and NK cells) will start working to prevent infection but we can vanquish the pathogen and not just COVID…any virus this ways. dentists and others who work with inside of mouths and oral exposure use this and it keeps them safe. Protects them.
Another great nasal wash to use is Hypochlorous acid and you can find the generators on Amazon. Fill the pitcher with water, add a gram of table salt, apply a short burst of electricity, and bingo you have the best disinfectant money can buy. Studies are underway but initial findings are that it hugely reduces viral load. It's perfectly safe (at full strength) and it's what your white blood cells use for attacking invaders. It's also useful for household disinfection, being 100 times stronger than bleach. Why haven't you heard of this before? Because it has a very short shelf life of about 2 weeks, so it's not sold online or in stores. It's also useful for disinfecting fruit. Wash your blackberries in HOCL then pop them into your mouth. No covid, no salmonella, no e coli, no MRSA - it kills it all on contact. It also kills odors on contact.
"....kills this virus dead". Love it!
