My husband got Covid-19 and I wanted to share what we did to have him well in 5 days, after being diagnosed. He had already been sick for 4 days, but we did not know yet, that it was Covid. His symptoms were intense, even though he & our entire family received the Pfizer vaccination about 10 months ago. The following regime helped him to feel so much better right away. After four days of the regime, he was almost completely well.
This is what we did to battle Covid:
1. In the morning, drink a glass of water with a capful of lemon in it, with a sprinkle of Black Pepper, Or have water with 2-4 capfuls of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar. (Wait an hour before eating, or better yet, do not eat until 3pm or 4pm)
2. Then, (to combat Covid that has entered the lungs), suck on a small clove of raw garlic. (choose a small clove, about 3/4” long & 1/3 inch thick. If your cloves are bigger, just cut them in half or in thirds). The goal is to suck on the clove as long as you can. As the garlic flavor decreases, you can chew it a little, to get more flavor out, until you eventually chew it completely & then swallow the rest of the garlic with water. Keeping the garlic in the throat will give it time to kill the bacteria that is seemingly trapped in the throat area, as well as get rid of the Covid bacteria which is seemingly trapped in the lungs.
3. As he sucked on the garlic, we sat outside in the sun for about 15-20 minutes, as I read our favorite relationship book by Joel Osteen called, “Our Best Life Together.” (I highly recommend this affordable ebook to help heal & strengthen marriages). Getting sun helps the body to receive natural Vitamin D & light exposure, which helps the mind return to positivity & the body to be restored to wellness.
4. He did take a nap in the middle of the day, for about an hour or two. (Try to listen to your body, & rest until you feel like getting up).
5. I encourage him to stay away from eating sugar treats, as sugar feeds Covid. I also encouraged him to eat Salads, but he said he didn't feel he could chew it, so I made him a lot of soups, using the chunky & other canned soups as a base, and I would add some fresh onions to it, and sometimes Bell Pepper, Carrots & Potato. Basically, I just looked at the ingredients on the can, and added all that I had which was listed.
After doing all of these things, the following day, he felt a lot better. Keep in mind that he had already been terribly sick for 4 days, before we found out it was Covid, and by this point, he had shooting headache pain, which was unbearable. He also had a sore throat which he said felt like it was on fire. He was able to breathe okay, but soon the Covid bacteria went into his lungs, and his voice became very low, and he began coughing. This is when we found out it was Covid, and started this regime.
Amazingly, the following day, he felt better, instead of worse, and each day he kept improving. By day two of this regiment, he was feeling so much better, and by day 5, he was completely well.
Another thing to note, is that in our family of 6, only he & my Son (who doesn't live with us) got sick with Covid. The rest of us stayed well. Things that I did for the rest of us, was to drink the 2-3 capfuls of Bragg's Vinegar in water. We didn't do it every day, but maybe every other day. At one point, my other son started to feel sick, so I gave him the Vinegar Water, and then I had him lay down & I poured Hydrogen Peroxide in his ear & set a timer for 10 minutes, and then did the other ear. (It will start to fizz, but don't worry, it doesn't hurt, It is actually very soothing. The fizzing means that it is killing the bacteria.)
After 10 minutes, dump the hydrogen peroxide out of the ear & then gently use a Q-tip to clean the ear. Then do the other ear. Surprisingly, my son said he could tell that he felt better. The following day my son had no symptoms. Meanwhile, the rest of us 3 stayed symptom free. I know that God helped our family to know what to do to overcome Covid & to be made well & whole so quickly. I hope this can be a blessing for everyone who is suffering from Covid & other sicknesses. Remember, God IS with Us & trying to help us. We are indeed All His family!
Blessings2you from the Islands of the Sea, Mama jAck.

In July 2021 my family and I contracted Covid while on vacation on a road trip to Colorado. Realized it may be covid after arriving home, and looked on this website, started us on the Melatonin Vit C & Zinc, protocol. Everyone else recovered fast except for me, I had terrible unrelenting painful muscle aches and body aches. After being in continuous agony I finally researched online after a week and up popped up Potassium deficiency! Sent my husband out to purchase it (he was fine by then), and within two hours I was 99% better!

My mother in-law was in that Kirkland, Wa. senior center where the first covid deaths in the U.S. were reported. Of course she got the virus, was in isolation and on I.V. and Oxygen. She was 94 at the time. Wifey takes her mom a cup of homemade soup every day, so we began spiking it with an ounce of silver water. In 3 days she was out of isolation and on the mend.
We stopped 2 other cases in our household with Vitamin C, 500 mg per 100 lbs of body weight every hour, and garlic, once in fresh form and once in capsules, every hour. All symptoms were gone in 8 hours or less.
Recent very robust research shows that if you have 250 mcg of selenium per liter of blood, no virus can live in you. I have not had the chance to try this on a covid case, but we did stop 2 colds by taking 200 mcg of selenium every hour for 4 hours. And covid is just a weaponized cold virus.
Other effective virus killers include hydrogen peroxide, zinc, iodine, borax, oil of oregano, many others. do your own research online. And remember all the scary new covid variants and mutations are still just viruses. The natural cures will work on them just as well.

Cayenne

I've had corona, now day 78. I'm 36; was a vaper until I got worst case corona cytokine storms, which have a 40% mortality rate. On day 58 I took two cayenne capsules, I was not prepared for what was about to happen. I felt the cayenne go into my lungs and completely clear them out. My lung pains and kidney pains are nearly totally gone now. Himalayan Pink salt finely ground in a coffee grinder placed under the kidneys in bed cured them over night. See my videos for more information. I had also posted previously about cocoa being effective for covid19... well it turns out cocoa also treats thrombosis which is caused by covid19, which causes blood clots. It also turns out cloves are the best iron reducer on earth, free iron oxidative stress is caused by covid19's attack up on hemoglobin as well, so get on cloves.

Today I woke up with a tight chest, a headache, and major muscle pain in my legs, torso, and hip area. Later, I had sensitivity to light and major fatigue.
This 4th time is similar to the 1st time I had Covid. It is miserable.
I usually take the celery juice right away if I start having symptoms and it nips it in the bud very quickly. I start to feel much better within an hour or 2 of drinking it.
But this time I waited because I did not think it was Covid at first. With my other covid experiences I usually had a cough or congestion. This time there I didn't have the coughing and congestion. I thought I just overworked my leg muscles or something. It wasn't until the severe shortness of breath, fatigue, and the light sensitivity that I knew it was Covid again.
I continue to drink the 16 oz of celery juice every morning until the symptoms fully subside. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days of drinking celery juice to feel back to nearly 100%.
During this time I also get lots of rest and eat a ton of greens and drink chicken broth with veggies and rice.
Finally, stay near a bathroom because celery juice has a strong laxative effect.

This German biologist is something else and explains why sometimes we need anti-oxidants and sometime oxidants. He shows just how stupid our medical leaders are. In any case, all need to know how to make and use CLO2. Tired of sleeping in a recliner and just bought a bed system that your head and/or feet can be elevated. Getting old is no fun... for certain.

Note: Lysine gives you energy so try to take it hours before sleep or a sleep tea or pill at night (Vivid dreams are very likely).
Please post if it helped you. I found this when seeing how lysine helped stop my cold sore from resting its ugly head. At the same time- I noticed I had many Covid-19 symptoms- a week later- sooooooo much better. Hope it helps you.

I also read research where black seed oil (Nigella Sativa) cured the HIV virus to the effect of no HIV virus trace in the patients system.
The coronavirus may cause a cytokine storm syndrome, your body goes into overdrive to kill virus cells and that can become lethal. Black seed oil inhibits and protects you from this cytokine storm syndrome. If anyone has the virus and has bad symptoms, please try pure black cumin seed oil. It can help. If it's bad that please up the dose to deal with the symptoms. I would recommended 10ml 3 times a day that cured the HIV patient. Also boil the oil and breath it in it will help with the chest congestion / pneumonia even asthma.
Google Crede oils and search for black cumin or seed oil. This is a good brand. If anyone does try these who is infected with the coronavirus please provide feedback. The prophet (peace be upon him) said that black seed cures everything besides death. Thanks

NOTE: It is marketed as Sweet Wormwood or Wormwood. There are 7 plants called Wormwood and they are very different!!!! Read the back of the bottle. Only buy if it says Artemisia Annua. Do not buy absyinth or any other kind at least for Covid or viruses in general. Also, open the capsule first so the herb itself touches your throat. Tastes terrible. Chase with juice.

Two days later, she was TOTALLY normal.. It was almost unreal.. Of course I was in tears as I love her a lot. Am taking it myself now for heavy metal detox as I read hair root tests after two weeks showed no more heavy metals. They put this stuff in bloodbags to kill Hiv etc and viruses. (look it up) also in our water. But to use as a cure they are so scared as there wd be no more money for Pharma and taxes.
They shout it is Bleach. It is NOT. I'll prove it, hydroxine peroxide H2O2 and water H2O, are they the same? No. Well the difference between Bleach and Chlorine Dioxide is ALSO one 0xygen molecule taken away... And as different as Hydroxine peroxide and water, so is Bleach and Chl. Dioxide.
Seriously, it's worth. Keep doses low, max 4 drops or 6 when you have Covid. Start low and when you feel any detoxing going too fast, go little less.. If any effects, it is from dying off of viruses or pathogens or fungus. When you don't take it for a while (been 3 hours, take vit C. Non acidic is better for your tummy for some of us who have hyper acidity)
Strength to you in these trying times.

Drinking salt water (not only gargling with it) helps heal sore throat and other respiratory problems. The salt water should be pleasantly salty and not excessively salty. Salt water drinking might help some people even more than Vitamin C and Zinc, although Vitamin C, Zinc, (and Quercetin) are also very helpful.
Once I had a very painful sore throat and couldn't get to the doctor. Vitamin C and Zinc, which often helped, were not helping. The pain was so bad that I thought that maybe I should go to the emergency room. But after following a neighbor's recommendation to gargle with salt water (for fifteen minutes or more) there seemed to be a bit of improvement.
With great thankfulness to the Al-mighty's kindness, the thought of drinking a few glasses of salt water suddenly came to me. After taking several glasses of salty water, l felt significant improvement. Over the next few days I continued drinking several glasses of salt water each day. Within a few days, the sore throat was gone.
I gave this recommendation to a friend who had Coronavirus, who was feeling better, but was still having some respiratory issues. She said that drinking the salt water helped her a lot.
In conjunction with following the doctors instruction, maybe people with Coronavirus might try this simple thing as an ad-on to whatever else they are taking. It can't hurt, and it might help.
May there be quick healing for all of humanity and all of the world.

Garlic, Vitamin C, NAC
★★★★★
We were exposed to two people that found out they had COVID they both got very sick. We immediately started this protocol which I think helped cure us rapidly. I read a study where a certain strain of garlic kills covid. That study was never published but it was a valid study . I did not have that specific strain of garlic that was used in the study, but we did have three different types of garlic, one was aged garlic oil pills, second was garlic oil with parsley oil and the third was just strong garlic tablets We took the garlic every hour along with liposomal Vitamin C and NAC. We also followed the Front Line Doctors advice of gargling with iodine, sea salt in glass of water 4x a day and we also used the neti pot with sterilized water, sea salt, baking soda and four drops of iodine 4X a day this helps cut down the time of covid illness drastically. We only got sore throats and felt exhausted within 10 hours of doing this protocol we both felt better and it never progressed, we never got sick it was stopped in it's tracks! We continued this for ten days to be sure, and I think our early intervention was the key . Hope this helps someone
Smoking Mullein
Herbalist Philip Fritchie says that if you are using mullein for smoke inhalation you should use the dried leaves of the first year. (Second year leaves have the long stalk with yellow flowers.) He says the first year leaves are most effective medicinally. (Though, personally I would use mullein leaves from first or second year, small or large, as long as they were healthy looking leaves, especially if the alternative is no mullein! This year the only mullein around me has been second year.)
Here is a great quote from Mr. Fritchie, "Mullein is a strong, self sowing biennial that is relatively easy to grow, loves poor soil and once established thrives on neglect." It is my kind of plant. :)

Steam Inhalation
★★★★★
There are many articles available in the net regarding Steam Inhalation for Covid-19.
Three articles are given below:
1) “Steam Inhalation Therapy found to inactivate SARS COV-2 Virions “. By Ananya Mandal.
2) “Steam Inhalation as an Adjuvant Treatment in COVID-19 Positive Health Care Professional.”
3) “Thermal inactivation of SARS COVID – 2 Virus.”
Different strains of Covid-19 virus are sensitive to the temperature and pH value of its surrounding. The steam temperature will be about 50 to 55 centigrade and its pH value will be about 7.0. Some hospitals in my area are asking Covid – 19 moderate to minor patients to take steam inhalation for about 4 to 5 times per day. Coronavirus mostly resides in the lungs, mouth and nose. When one takes steam inhalation, it is better to alternate between mouth and nose during steam inhalation. Electric steam inhalers are available online.
I am using steam inhalation since I have a heart problem and am 78 years old. I didn't take vaccination and I am taking steam inhalation for prevention. One can expect a cure for minor to moderate patients in about seven days. This treatment can be used both for prevention and cure.
Best wishes.

1. Sleep- get 7-9 hours a day. Sleep is when your body repairs itself. Sleep is critical for restoration.
2. Water- drink a minimum of 1.5 liters of clean water or healthy freshly juiced beverages. Our bodies are mostly made up of water. We lose 2 cups of water a day just by breathing! Avoid caffeine while sick or anything that dehydrates.
3. Vitamin D3 - getting 30 minutes of sun contact a day will give you enough vitamin D. This vitamin is actually a hormone which regulates nearly every function in your body including your immune system. If you are darker skinned or stay inside alot, you need to supplement with at least 1000 IU per day. (5000 IU if you're deficient or fighting a cold. Get a blood test to check your level.)
4. Emergen C: if you hate taking nasty multivitamins, this product is great at ensuring you get your daily supply of essential minerals and Vitamins to support a strong immune system and repair damaged tissue. (Take 2times per day if sick)
5. Panax Korean Ginseng: An herb used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years, this herb energizes your system, helps regulate insulin and blood sugar, increases circulation, builds immunity and has a mild anti-viral compound as well as a mild stimulant effect. (Dont take at bedtime). 500 to 1000 mg per day should suffice. Take with food
6. Exercise- exercising atleast 3 days a week for an hour with cardio and weight training will boost immunity, lower depression, and build a stronger skeleton.
7. Garlic- putting a few cloves of fresh crushed garlic in a warm soup is a great idea. In fact, eating one clove or two of freshly crushed garlic mixed with honey per day, is a guaranteed way to lower cholesterol, kill viruses, bacteria, and cleanse your body. Garlic may stink, but the health benefits are so good!
8. Yogi Detox tea: this tea is great to drink while sick. It contains many herbs like mullein and Burdock, which break down mucus and have slight anti-viral compounds. Look for blends that contain milk thistle as well. This herb is great for the liver! The liver is responsible for filtering blood and toxins in our body! This herb is so good, many alcoholics have reversed cirrhosis of the liver conditions by using it.
9. Olive Leaft extract: my all time favorite herb! This herb has been shown to lower cholesterol and prevent alzheimers. Like ginseng, it is also great for type 2 diabetes sufferers. Olive leaf is also a POWERFUL anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent. Some users have reported a remission in herpes and HIV after taking this herb in therapeutic doses. I personally saw an abscess be cured from olive leaf alone. Taking 1000mg per day, or more while sick, should suffice for most. Take with food such as buttered toast. Fat content helps to transfer nutrients.
10. Prayer/religion: Those who engage in prayer, meditation, and belong to a religious community tend to live longer and have lowered stress levels. Stress saps immunity! Prayer and meditation will lower your stress hormones allowing you to sleep deeper and reduce inflammation. Being a part of a community helps combat loneliness and depression as well.
Note: Be sure to introduce herbs one at a time and evaluate yourself every few days. Watch out for any adverse reactions. Research dosages according to individual needs. Cycle on for 6 weeks and take 2 weeks off all herbs to avoid any overdosing and to prevent tolerance to herbs. Avoid smoking cigarettes and limit alcohol and fast food consumption. Check with your doctor or research any interactions with prescribed medications) you can experiment with dosage depending on body weight and tolerance. I weigh 175lbs. If you're bigger, or smaller, you may need more or less.
Hope this helps. Pass it along and share for those who need stronger immune systems more than ever now!

Niacinamide
★★★★★
According to recent research from Arkansas Uni., if you take higher dose niacin or niacinamide every day, this will increase the strength of your immune system defense against all pathogens -- including viruses -- by 1000 times. That means that my own immune system is now at least on a par with any youngsters' immune system now.
I also use a teaspoon of turmeric + pepper + a tablespoon of coconut oil mixed together. I take this once or twice a day dissolved in my coffee and it isn't really any hardship at all. This is all about using a common-sense approach for anti-viral prevention.
I might've mentioned this before but I'm going to tell it again anyway.
3 or 4 months ago and over the mountains from where I live in the Cebu provinces, the prisoners in the Cebu city prisons were dying like flies from Covid-19 -- hundreds of deaths. It was truly awful. Then they started to feed the prisoners virgin coconut oil (kills the virus) with turmeric (stops inflammation, stops cytokine storms etc causing death) several times a day, every day. Because of that protocol the COVID-19 virus was completely suppressed and eliminated fairly quickly and every prisoner got well with a minimum of deaths.
This news was fully tracked and reported in all the local Cebu papers and on local TV. Now tell me -- raise your hands please -- does anyone out there reading this piece really think that we need a double blind placebo trial, which will probably cost upwards and beyond $200 million and take about six months to a year to complete, to actually prove that the turmeric and coconut oil remedy is completely safe, effective and WORKS WELL against Covid-19?
Now let's turn our attention to the drug cartel's greatest wish -- achieving fabulous wealth through WORLDWIDE VACCINE SALES.
Here is an article from the CDC:
https://www.nwpb.org/2020/09/14/a-covid-19-vaccine-may-be-only-50-effective-is-that-good-enough/
In that article, Dr Fauci even admits that the covid-19 vaccine will probably only be 50% effective. What does that mean? It means that for the 18/65 age group, out of 100 people that receive the COVID-19 vaccine, only 50 people will actually achieve immunity. And if you are 65 or over like me then that also means that only about 30% (30 out of 100 older people) will be able achieve immunity when they take the vaccine. Do those vaccine statistics -- from Dr Fauci -- make you or your family feel warm, cosy and well protected against Covid-19? Well does it??
I also did some digging into the ordinary flu vaccine statistics. What I found was that vaccine statistics vary a heck of alot. For instance when I checked the CDC ordinary flu yearly assessments for 2010 I found that the flu vaccine that year had an effective prevention rate of 60% for the 18/65 age group. But when I checked the 2018 CDC flu assessment the prevention rate was only 29% !! I mean, jeez, if they can't even get the common flu vaccine consistently right then what chance is there for ANY covid-19 vaccine succeeding??
And Dr Fauci also mentioned in that article that they would need a prevention rate of at least 75% to get rid of the covid-19 virus completely. That's another lie. The covid-19 vaccine would have to have at least a 98% prevention rate to stand any chance whatsoever of completely eliminating the covid-19 virus, any fool knows that.
And I haven't even mentioned all the dangerous adjuvants or additives that are so commonly used in vaccines these days -- like thimerosal(50% mercury), formaldehyde, aluminum, msg, antibiotics, polysorbate 80, egg protein, rogue nano-pathogens(like Guillain-Barre virus) etc, etc.

I watched a video from Nilesh Jogel, the founder of Jogi Ayurved Hospital in Surat, Gujarat. He said his staff and patients receive the same treatment to prevent or heal from COVID and no staff members have gotten sick and all their patients have recovered well.
They breathe in plain water steam twice per day, breathing in ten times through the nose and out through the mouth, and then breathing in ten times through the mouth and out through the nose. He said this is an easy, low cost, safe treatment that anyone can do with a stove and pan of water.

I put 5 or 6 drops in an 10 - 12 ounce spray bottle and we sprayed our throat as needed and it took away the soreness and helped with coughing, we put a drop under the bottom of our foot and rubbed it in because it is said to help build up the immune system. My husband only had symptoms for two days and the other member of the household had them for about five days. When she retested for Covid19 she tested negative.
The history of using thieves oil can be found on the internet and the recipe to make it also. It is made by using essential oils.
- Clove oil: 40 drops
- Cinnamon bark oil: 20 drops
- Eucalyptus oil: 15 drops
- Lemon oil: 35 drops
- Rosemary oil: 10 drops
You can also find other recipes online and the oil already made in health food stores and online. If you make up your own, put it in a dark bottle but please look up the history because it was a little long for this posting
Povidone Iodine Nasal Spray
★★★★★
Note from Rob: I am writing and presenting this article to Earthclinic in the hope it will help someone or a family member reading your forum with a compromised immune system. Covid19 seems to be hitting them the hardest. It has become “blasphemy” in America to speak publicly about cures for covid19. I am a herbalist and back in early November 2019, people were coming to me with some screwed up symptoms which I called an SSV (some sorta virus?). I did not know what it was, so I was giving them my Cold and Flu Remedy. If they were able to treat their symptoms fast enough within 48 hours, they were over the flu(?) in about 12 hours.
For every 24hrs over the 48hr mark untreated, you can add another 12hrs to recover. Then in late December, rumors started coming out of China about a virus with the same symptoms I was treating. Huh, imagine that… And as of today 8/2020 it's still knocking it out. What I am trying to say is don't believe everything the media and your politicians are telling you. Here are cures out there, their just too cheap, all natural and big pharma can't make a profit on it.
This treatment is not a cure for Covid19. It is meant to reduce the viral load inside the nasal cavities where the covid19 and other micro-organisms collect and become dangerous. Summit Biosciences, Inc. announced this week it had been awarded a contract from a Seattle-based pharmaceutical company, Atossa Therapeutics, Inc., to fast track the development of a nasal spray to be used on patients who've been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus but who “have not yet exhibited symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization, ”according to the press release.
Lexington KY pharmaceutical company developing nasal spray to treat COVID-19 (Press Release) https://www.kentucky.com/news/coronavirus/article243092566.html
COVID-19 is a viral respiratory disease that often initially settles in the nose — one of the most widely used tests to determine whether a person actively has the new coronavirus is a nasal swab — which is why the company is working to produce a nasal spray. Typically, as the infection becomes more severe, it will move to the lungs, where it can become deadly. The point with this drug is to catch it early enough, before that happens.
In order for the virus' spike proteins to take hold in a person's nasal cavity, certain cells in the mucus must first activate that viral spike protein. This nasal spray would inhibit that activation process, acting as a “barrier inside the nose to prevent virus entry”.
Researchers at the University of Kentucky in three clinical trials to treat symptoms of those who've already tested positive for the virus and help them avoid needing to be hospitalized, and to develop a drug that prevents transmission of the virus. “We are looking for a therapy that prevents people from having to go to the hospital, or if they happen to be in the hospital and are not critically ill, [from] becoming critically ill”.
One of the clinical trials involves testing the efficacy of an iodine nasal spray to protect people who are at especially high risk from contracting the virus, including frontline health care workers.
Summit Bioscience's nasal spray would be targeted toward healthier people who've tested positive but don't have severe symptoms. To be used at home, the nasal spray would work to keep them from developing those symptoms as well as to slow the infection rate, overall, putting their immune system in a better position to fight the virus. The goal is to eventually commercialize therapies for patients “on both ends of the spectrum, ”— those healthier patients well enough to be treated at home, and sicker patients who may require a ventilator.
DIY Povidone-iodine Nasal Spray:
Regularly use 2 – 5 times a daily with a Nasal Spray Irrigator and home-made saline. University of Kentucky Hospital, USA did the study. Study subjects will use betadine saline sinus rinse for period of 7 days.
Povidone iodine is a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant. In contact with skin and mucous membranes povidone iodine works quickly and has a microbicidal effect (causing the death of a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa).
Recipe #1:
Material needed:
*30 ml empty nasal spray bottle
*Distilled water
*Sea salt
*Baking soda
*Povidone-iodine 10%
*Empty clean water bottle
*Peppermint oil (optional)
1. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda to empty “clean” 17 oz water bottle.
2. Add distilled water to bottle, cap and shake til salt and baking soda have completely dissolved. This is your saline solution.
3. Add 3ml of Povidone-iodine (you want it strong since Povidone Iodine solution 5% has only 0.5% available iodine) to the empty nasal spray bottle. 2 drops peppermint oil (optional but it is a good anti-inflammatory). Top bottle off with your saline solution.
4. Use this spray twice in each nostrile 2-5 times daily for afew weeks to resolve sinus infections, congestion and polyps.
Recipe #2:
Material needed:
*Saline Nasal Squeeze Bottle (New with saline water inside purchase from store)
*Child medicine syringe or similar device that measures in milliters
*Povidone-iodine 10%
1. Remove nasal tip from Saline Nasal Squeeze Bottle.
2. Estimate how much PVP-I to add to nasal bottle based on how much saline is inside. General formula is 1ml PVP-I to every 10ml saline water.
3. Using the child syringe, remove the same amount saline water as you are going to add in.
4. Re-cap nasal cap to bottle. Shake well and spray up each nostile.
The science behind this:
Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is a broad-spectrum antiseptic with activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It has been previously used in both intranasal preparations against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) as well as oral preparations in in-vitro studies of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), influenza H1N1, and rotavirus with good efficacy. This study will evaluate the efficacy of PVP-I as prophylaxis in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19)-negative for front-line health care workers and hospital patients.
The highest concentration of viral covid-19 particles resides within the nasopharynx. The virus is thought to spread via respiratory droplets with the potential for transmission via inhalation of droplets, contact to the nose and mouth with infected materials, and airborne transmission. Given that frontline workers are involved in high-risk procedures including intubation, bronchoscopy, proning patients (which can lead to droplet production) and in some cases are reusing PPE, finding ways to reduce viral load or viral exposure are paramount.
In this study, front line healthcare workers will be asked to complete a pre-participation survey and screened for COVID positivity. They will then be given premade PVP-I gargles and nasal sprays, as well as a calendar card to mark compliance. PVP-I nasal spray and gargle (10% diluted 1:30) will be used prior to the start of a shift, during "lunch break", and at the end of shift. First, the nasal spray will be sprayed in the nose (2 sprays each nostril). For adequate coverage, the participant should be able to taste the iodine or see it in the back of the throat. This should be left in place for 30 seconds. Then, the participant will gargle the solution for 30 seconds and not have anything to eat or drink by mouth for 30 minutes. Treatment will continue for 3 weeks, or until the healthcare worker presents with COVID symptoms. Participants will then be tested for COVID positivity and asked to fill out a second questionnaire assessing study tolerability. At completion of the study, they will be asked to turn in their calendar card to assess how many applications they were able to complete.
Given the high rate of asymptomatic carriers, a second arm will also be planned for patients who have a 7+ day hospitalization or who are set to undergo a significant surgical procedure. These patients will be offered participation in the study as well and will be given the same questionnaire and undergo preoperative testing if they consent. For patients in the study group, PVIP gargle and nasal sprays will be applied preoperatively or shortly after admission and enrollment in the study for the non-operative group. The patients will then be retested in 2 weeks or as directed by the presentation of symptoms concerning for infection with SARS-CoV-2.
Due to the known breadth of its antiviral activity and similarities in molecular structure, it can be extrapolated that PVP-I should have robust activity against SARS-CoV-2. Eggers et al found that at a concentration of 1% there was a reduction of viral activity of 99.99% in in-vitro assays. At 2 minutes, a concentration of 0.23% was enough to reduce viral loads appreciably (meaning measurable).
Introduction:
There have been significant concerns noted regarding infection of health care workers and subsequent nosocomial spread within hospitals. Data from the epidemic in Wuhan by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention noted that 63% of infected patients in Wuhan were health care workers.1 A study of hospitalized patients at a tertiary care center in Wuhan noted that 12% of patients and 29% of health care professionals had acquired COVID-19 from nosocomial spread. Particular concern has been expressed regarding the safety of otolaryngologists, patients, and staff during routine and endoscopic examination. Reports have demonstrated high viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 in the nasal cavities, nasopharynx, oral cavities, and oropharynx, with the highest viral loads within the nasopharynx. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the tissue of the nose and mouth have high expression of ACE2, the main receptor of COVID-19. Nasal goblet and ciliated cells had the highest expression of ACE2. Due to high viral load, these areas are sensitive for diagnosis of the virus. The transit of virus via coughing, sneezing, and aerosolizing procedures makes transmission high. Aerosols of SARS-CoV-2 have been detected in the air for up to 3 hours. There are concerns that many otolaryngology procedures generate aerosols, which was proven for intranasal high-speed drilling in a cadaveric study.
Transmission reduction by the minimization of aerosolized virus is of key importance. Given that the nasopharynx and oropharynx are principal reservoirs of active SARS-CoV-2 virus, there has been immense desire for an approach to nasal and oral decontamination in the era of COVID-19. Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) has been suggested as a topical solution. PVP-I works by releasing free iodine, which disrupts microbial metabolic pathways, destabilizes structural components of cell membranes, and leads to irreversible damage to pathogens. It is a potent virucidal via inhibition of N1, N2, and N3 neuraminidase as well as inhibition of hemagglutinin. This inhibition blocks viral attachment to cellular receptors and inhibits viral release and spread from infected cells.
Protocols have been recommended regarding nasal and oral use of PVP-I in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, and there has been much discussion regarding the implementation of these practices. A protocol was developed in the United Kingdom recommending 0.3 mL of 0.5% PVP-I solution via each nostril and 9 mL via the oral cavity in conscious COVID-19 patients and persons under investigation (PUIs) prior to undergoing procedures in and around the mouth, as well as in health care workers performing these procedures. In unconscious patients, they recommended applying 2 mL to the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity. Use was recommended every 2 to 3 hours in health care workers exposed to these patients up to 4 times per day. Another protocol from Pittsburgh recommended 240 mL of 0.4% PVP-I in the nasal cavity via sinus rinse delivery bottle and 10 mL of 0.5% PVP-I oral wash every 2 to 3 hours up to 4 times per day in patients with COVID-19, PUIs, prior to high-risk procedures, and in COVID-19 hotspots. They recommended this procedure in health care workers prior to and after care of COVID patients, PUIs, high-risk procedures in COVID hotspots, and in the setting of inadequate PPE. Parhar et al concurred with the use of PVP-I based preparations to reduce viral loads of coronavirus as there was demonstrated efficacy. An anesthesia guideline for operative room care in the COVID-19 era recommended 2 doses of nasal PVP-I within 1 hour of incision for all OR cases. The American Dental Association guidelines for minimizing risk of COVID-19 transmission recommended preoperative use of 0.2% PVP-I mouthwash for all procedures.
To minimize toxicity when using PVP-I as a repeated application, most protocols recommend concentrations of PVP-I between 0.2% and 0.5%. Because nasal and oral viral loads are similar in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients3 and can persist in convalescent seroconverted cases, some of these protocols recommend the use of PVP-I in asymptomatic patients. Unaddressed in any report to date is a discussion of the interdependence of PVP-I aqueous concentration, chemical stability, reported toxicity, and known biocidal efficacy.
Most commercial PVP-I preparations suitable for sinonasal or oral application are aqueous concentrations of 10% PVP-I or 5% PVP-I intended for presurgical antisepsis. Although additional scrubs, solutions, swab sticks, and other PVP-I containing products are available in the 5% to 10% range, many contain additional salts, sudsing agents, and cosolvents that should be avoided in the nose and mouth. Most are specifically labeled for external use and carry warnings against exposure to eyes, ears, and mucosal surfaces. The chemical stability of PVP-I in aqueous solutions at room temperature declines with dilution, alkalinization, and contact with common low-density polymer packaging materials.22, 23 Naturally acidic aqueous PVP-I solutions reach a critical stability inflection point at about 0.75%.24 Paradoxically, studies have shown that the antibacterial activity of full-strength 10% PVP-I increases with dilution.25 Between 10% and 1%, there is an exponential increase in efficacy which plateaus between 1.0% and 0.1% before decreasing again from 0.1% to 0.001%.
Our objective is to present established uses of PVP-I in the sinonasal and oral cavities and outline the safety profile through the discussion of clinical and in vitro toxicity. In addition, we aim to discuss PVP-I efficacy against coronaviruses and its potential use specifically against SARS-CoV-2 to inform the otolaryngology community regarding its use.
Results:
Povidone-iodine has been safely administered for up to 5 months in the nasal cavity and 6 months in the oral cavity. Concentrations less than 2.5% in vitro do not reduce ciliary beat frequency or cause pathological changes in ciliated nasal epithelium, upper respiratory, or mucosal cells. Adverse events with oral use have not been reported in conscious adults or children. Allergy and contact sensitivity is rare. Chronic mucosal use up to 5% has not been shown to result in clinical thyroid disease. PVP-I is rapidly virucidal and inactivates Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

Lugol's Iodine
★★★★★
hey used this in 1918 when the Spanish flu hit is what I read with great success. So we tried what it said and gradually increased from two drops a day in water or our coffee once a day the first couple of days to where the paper I read said to start slowly. So first 3 days we used 2 drops a day. Then we went to 6 drops a day and after a few days we jumped up to using 6 drops in our coffee in the morning, then again in the middle of the day and then once more in the evening before bed in a glass of water. Mixing it in well before drinking it. We started improving in wellness with each passing day and our coughing we had went away after the 4th day.
This type of iodine is not like the kind with the skull and cross bones on the bottle. It's poison and you cannot put that kind in the body as it will poison you. But Lugol's Iodine you can use inside your body and drink in a glass of water, juice or coffee and I truly believe this is what healed my husband and I. We were not tested for the coronnavirus/covid 19 but we had 8 of the symptoms so I know we had it. We both had a temperature, cough, aches and pains, chest pains also, headache, etc. We took this Lugol's iodine for about two weeks or so and feel fine now. I believe it brought us through it quickly and easily and I am 66 yrs old and he is 68.
Read up on this Lugol's Iodine old time uses. There is a doctors chart of it's uses online, find it and heal yourself.

Also, 21% of Covid cases come with a rash.
Below is a story of a medical doctor that got an antibiotic resistant rash after treating his first covid patient. He tried a charcoal poultice as a last resort, and it promptly disappeared.
