This “general recipe” is for internal use. You can use 3% brown bottle hydrogen peroxide. I load this into my medicine cup on my nebulizer.
-As a preventative to keep infections at bay / promote healing – add 0.5 ml (cc)(or ~12 drops if using a dropper) to a nebulizer filled with 5 ml (cc) distilled saline water. Use once a day or as often as you feel the need.
–To fight a lung, bronchial or sinus infection or to get hydrogen peroxide into the body for a systemic treatment – add an amount (see below) of 3% hydrogen peroxide to a nebulizer filled with 5ml (cc) distilled saline water. Use several times. Repeat this process 4 -6 times a day and more often when fighting a virus.
✔The lowest effective dose is ~0.5 ml (cc) or ~ 12 drops (if using a dropper) in 5 ml (cc) distilled water for about 3 minutes. (As a guideline: 1 ml usually contains about 25 drops, but obviously varies with different droppers). If this is your first time using this therapy, use this dose (or even less) to test your reaction. Use this treatment every 2-4 hours.
✔Increase dose as tolerated up to a maximum ½ tsp = 2.0 ml (cc) in Nebulized 3% H2O2 will not only contact the lungs, it will also enter the bloodstream, where it will oxidize pathogens and toxins. For a maximum of 10 minutes per breathing session. Use this treatment every 2-4 hours.
Caution must be exercised by smokers and individuals who have used prescription and nonprescription drugs in their lungs, and those who are very sick. If H2O2 solution is too strong, the H2O2 reaction with a heavy contaminant or microbial presence could promote tissue-damaging inflammation in the lungs and a potentially dangerous systemic “die-off” effect, called the Herxheimer Reaction.
Warning: The following symptoms after nebulizing indicate that you are using too strong a solution - flu-like symptoms, headache, fever, diarrhea, fatigue. Consult your physician before using peroxide in a nebulizer.
Hydrogen peroxide will cause colloidal silver to agglomerate, where the particles join together to form larger particles to the point where they become too large and fall out of suspension. The HP basically ruins the colloidal silver as the particles become too large to be effective against pathogens.

Vitamin C
★★★★★
Having had asthmatic bronchitus for many years, I was prescribed inhaler #4 when I decided "enough is too much! ". I threw out the inhalers and started using Vit C as per the directions of Linus Pauling and Adelle Davis.
The rule of thumb is to start slowly and get the body used to it by taking 1000mg per day, increasing this every few days or every week until you hit your "body tolerance level". Pure and simple this means: until your bowels start to protest :-) Then cut back by 500 or 1000 mg until you're comfortable. And yes, in case of an illness like pneumonia (which I have had several bouts with) the tolerance level will greatly increase, as the body's own reserves of ascorbic acid are rapidly depleted.
In some cases when having penumonia, I have taken up to 15-20 grams of Vit C in one day and not had irritated bowels. It is a wonderful aid in recovering from illnesses.
However, be aware that there always needs to be an extra protein supplementation as well, as the body loses protein at a shocking rate during any (severe) illness! This will also protect any potential damage done to either body tissues or even the DNA.
A good way to make sure you get sufficient protein during any illness (and it goes down easier than, say, 6 eggs :-) is to make "Tiger's Milk" or "Pep-Up Drink", a recipe from Adelle Davis.
Finally, taking Vit C every day is a great method to protect yourself against any illness, and if an illness does grab hold of you, to make sure it goes away in a hurry. The same goes for ACV honey, which also goes a long way towards strengthening your immune system. Finally, staying away from artificial products and/or chemically polluted products is also a good way to protect your system.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Yes, I'm still around! Just gave someone a bottle of CS this morning. Got plenty...free of course. How about emailing me at david at davidthomaslawfirm dot com
Hydrogen Peroxide
If by, "steam", you mean that you are going to put colloidal silver in a pot and and boil it to get steam, no, that will not work. If you boil colloidal silver, the silver will remain in the pot while the water vapor escapes. You will notice that the remaining colloidal silver in the pot will start to darken from the natural light to medium yellow color to a darker golden color and if you boil it long enough it may turn brown as the silver particles become more concentrated.
A cold vapor ultrasonic humidifier will deliver plenty of colloidal silver in a relatively short period of time compared to a nebulizer which delivers a much smaller amount in a given period of time. This is an important point when you consider that the interior surface area of the lungs is approximately half of a tennis court.

Cilantro
★★★★★
After recovering from pneumonia, I continued to have chronic lung congestion. Coincidentally, my son in Texas mentioned a salsa recipe he'd made and suggested I give it a try. He insisted I use fresh cilantro for superior taste. Well, within 5 minutes of making and sampling the salsa, I coughed up an enormous amount of thick phlegm and breathed easier for the rest of the night. By morning, some sleep congestion returned. I made eggs, and since I had fresh cilantro left over from the salsa, I put it on the eggs. Once again, the congestion cleared, with lots of phlegm purged. All within 5-10 minutes of eating the cilantro.
Thinking maybe I had imagined the results, I went a week without trying the cilantro again. The congestion came back. I ate cilantro again, and the phlegm cleared again. I've repeated that test many times since then, and each time cilantro has proven to be my hero. My aunt, who has emphysema (COPD), tried it and got similar good results.
My lung doctor, originally from India, swears by cilantro (and coriander, which includes the whole plant, not just the leaves). The last time I went for a checkup, he declared that my lungs were completely clear and told me to keep eating cilantro.
So now I cook with cilantro several times a week, no matter what. And whenever I travel, I take a small bottle of dried cilantro to sprinkle on my food.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
★★★★★
For chronic cases (which I no longer have) I highly recommend Grapefruit Seed Extract (aka 'GSE'). The root cause of sinus infections and PND is mold and fungus. A recent study of chronic sinusitis and fungus done by the mayo clinic found that a whopping 97% of people tested had an average of 2.7 types of fungus growing in their sinus cavities. And they were successfully treated for chronic sinus infections using antifungal medications treatments. But what was found to be the most effective antifungal agent, by far, was the natural remedy of grapefruit seed extract (GSE)! ... Same goes for most respiratory infections.
I got home from the hospital from pneumonia and was not OK. Started immediately, I got empty capsules and filled them up 15-20 drops of extract fit in each cap (30 drops, twice daily). Amazing remedy! I've read ppl opening nasal spray bottles of saline solution and adding a 3 drops of GSE and spraying that into their sinuses every 3-4 times daily. Our medicine cabinet won't be without this. Research it for yourself. And lastly, buy the GSE that's been around forever (red label & cap), not the newer ones that I hear are not as potent.
Garlic and Oregano
I might add a few points and also ask about the "mucus thinner" supposing it's Guiffenissen, which is considered a semi-synthetic expectorant with a good safety record. Also for "lung infection" mucus problems is the amino acid NAC or Cysteine from your local health food store is said to be very effective.
I'll now take a little air out of your balloon and add that the duration of your pneumonia may be the first indication of a weakening or depressed immune system. The mineral Zinc @ 25-50 mg day will greatly strengthen the immunity.
Anyway, if you catch another bad infection again in the near future do come back here so to address also any possible underlying conditions.
Hydrogen Peroxide
There's nothing wrong with taking the full set of items you list to deal with the infection... Garlic, H2O2, sea salt etc. While you're at it, why don't you add the one thing that would, in my opinion, really kill the pneumonia? Colloidal Silver. You need a vaporizer... Which turns the liquid into a steam and when I feel something in my respiratory, I make sure to breathe deeply for a few minutes Mine has a "cup" that I breathe into. I do this three times daily for a week. Always knocks out my infection that fast. I see from your post you live close to my office and if you email me at david (at) dlthomaslaw.com I'd be happy to have a bottle of CS for you. I give away bottles to friends and family... And have for decades. Free.
Sea Salt
★★★★★
I have (usually) mild asthma. I visited a dusty wildflower area and contracted fungal pneumonia. The doctor did not apply effective antibiotics, because the infection was fungal, and he initially misdiagnosed it. The infection continued for weeks, and hardened into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Over the next year I tried many remedies. Then I found an interesting fact. The ocean has millions of antibacterial virions per liter. This is why there are so few bacteria there: predation. I live in an oceanside city, and have no problem getting clean, fresh seawater. I spat some infected sputum into a bottle of seawater and diluted it to invisibility. The idea was that any virus would rapidly multiply by killing and eating the bacteria of my infection. Then over a week, I sprayed the water and inhaled it. My coughing got worse, but then air began to penetrate past the blockages and I began to cough them up; some looked like french fries. I'm now healthy.
I think a similar effort might work with artificial seawater made from organic sea salt. The idea is that it must be organic so that the antibacterial virions would need to be preserved in the salt.

High Dose Vitamin D and Magnesium
★★★★★
For coronavirus curement, simple cough, severe bronchitis or pneumonia I can suggest you try using these ingredients. This curement was developed by me.
I suggest using this:
a) 30,000IU vitamin D per day (notice here the dosage is 30,000IU and not 3000IU) for three days (in case symptoms persist, take for another two days).
b) 600mg Magnesium Citrate per day
Probably you will see amazing results, since already in two different occasions, it eliminated cough in 2 days and on another occasion it eliminated cough in three days.
Use this curement completely on your own responsibility or inform your doctor as to supervise supplementation.
Turpentine and Castor Oil
From the Book: Over-the-counter drugs, March 1936-March 1978 · Volume 1 p. 546, by United States. Food and Drug Administration · 1980
Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (topical/inhalant). The Panel concludes that turpentine oil is safe in the dosage ranges used when applied topically or as an inhalant but there are insufficient data to permit final classification of its effectiveness for topical or inhalant OTC use as an anti-tussive.
– 38354 –
(1) Safety. Clinical experience has confirmed that turpentine oil is safe when applied topically or used as an inhalant in the dosage ranges used as an anti-tussive. The Panel concludes that oil of turpentine is safe when applied externally or vaporized in boiling water as a steam inhalant. However, the Panel has determined elsewhere in this document that it is not safe for OTC use when used orally as an anti-tussive. (See part III. paragraph B.2.b. above-Turpentine oil (spirits of turpentine) (oral).)
Oil of turpentine is a volatile oil consisting of a mixture of pinenes derived from the oleoresin obtained from Pinus palustrus. Nelson et al. (Ref. 1) found exposure to a vapor of 420 to 560 mcg/ 1 acceptable to most of their human subjects. The threshold for industrial exposure for 8 hours has been set at 560mcg/1. The maximum concentration obtainable with a currently marketed OTC preparation is 36 mcg/1 (Refs. 2 and 3 ). No histological evidence of pulmonary lesions were seen in mice and rats exposed to lethal concentrations of turpentine vapors (Ref. 4). Inhalation of 300 mcg/1 of turpentine vapor by mice for 15 minutes did not influence the electrocardiogram, respiratory minute volume, pulmonary airway, resistance, or compliance (Ref. 5). One study in mice using a mixture of volatile oils, one of which was turpentine, showed a decrease in pulmonary antibacterial activity (Ref. 6). Two other studies showed no change when the mixture was used (Refs. 7 and 8).
In several studies in children and infants suffering from minor breathing discomforts associated with the "common cold" no side effects that were drug related were observed when a medicated steam was administered (Refs. 9 through 13). Turpentine has been widely used as a part of a mixture of volatile oils for many years with approximately two complaints per million packages purchased (Ref. 14).
(2) Effectiveness. There are no well-controlled studies documenting the effectiveness of turpentine oil (topical/inhalant) as an antitussive. Its effectiveness is uncertain due to a lack of properly controlled studies of the substance by itself.
(3) Proposed dosage. Dosage for adults and children 2 to under 12 years is as follows: (i) For topical use as a 4.0 percent ointment preparation: To be rubbed on the throat, chest, and back as a thick layer. The area of application may be covered. However, clothing should be left loose about the throat and chest to help the vapor rise to reach the nose and mouth. Applications may be repeated up to 3 times daily.
(ii) For steam inhalation use as a 5.5 percent solution: 1 tablespoonful of solution per quart of water is added directly to the water in a hot steam vaporizer, bowl, or washbasin; or 2 teaspoonfuls of solution per pint of water are added to an open container of boiling water. Breathe in vapors during the period of medicated steam generation. May be repeated 3 times daily.
For children under 2 years, there is no recommended topical or inhalant dosage except under the advice and supervision of a physician.

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation Method
Colloidal Silver
In order for colloidal silver to work, it must come in direct contact with the pathogen.I don't think that colloidal silver taken orally can effectively reach the interior of the lungs in a high enough concentration and have not seen any studies to suggest it can.The majority of colloidal silver taken orally is likely to mainly end up in the blood stream, feces and urine. If you look in the video section of Earth Clinic, they have a video showing how they deliver colloidal silver directly to the lungs and this is something you can discuss with your doctor to see if it may be an option for you. Another consideration is that colloidal silver has shown synergy with certain antibiotics and in some instances has helped to overcome resistance to some antibiotics.

The raw garlic is a potent antibacterial, but I would not feel comfortable relying on just garlic to combat pneumonia. I don't have any experience with using aloe vera to fight pneumonia so no comment on that aspect.

Hydrogen Peroxide
When I use colloidal silver for coughs and lung congestion, I have a very small cool mist vaporizer that only requires about 2 ounces of CS for one treatment, but most cool mist vaporizers require more ounces in my experience in order to work, usually about 4 or 5 ounces. So I breathe in from the outlet port of the vaporizer at a distance of a couple of inches and I alternate between breathing through my nose and breathing through my mouth in order to get the vapor into as many areas as possible.
I use 20 ppm colloidal silver and I do the breathing for 7 to 10 minutes per session. If I do 7 minute sessions, I will do 4 sessions per day and if I do 10 minute sessions I will do 3 sessions per day.
I never reuse any remaining silver that is left in my cool mist vaporizer, because the sonication process of the vaporizer can knock the silver out of suspension, so I put new colloidal silver for each use.
Whenever I am having a cough or lung congestion, I also use melatonin at high dose as Dr. Neel does for his Covid-19 patients at 1 mg per kilogram of body weight. I weigh about 180 lbs. which is approximately 82 kilograms so I will take at least 82 mg of melatonin in divided doses spread throughout the night and day. Not everyone can tolerate melatonin, but I do so I use it and for me it is very helpful.
I am not a doctor so I can not recommend that anyone do what I am doing, I am just describing what I do and everyone else should see their doctor to make sure that what they are doing for them is safe for them to do.
When you see your doctor, you might show him this study that discusses the use of melatonin for lungs during flu and possibly pneumonia:

Salt Water Inhalation (also known as Hypertonic Saline) – Halotherapy: The word halotherapy comes from the Greek word halos, which means "salt". You can traces its origins to ancient Greek and Roman use of natural salt caves for health benefits. Halotherapy is a form of medicine that uses salt in a therapeutic setting, usually by inhaling an aerosol. The practice of halotherapy has been known for thousands of years. In the 12th century, Poland began to develop salt cave spa resorts. In the 1800s, Eastern European miners noticed that they had fewer respiratory issues and appeared younger than other miners. This was likely due to the salt particles they breathed in.
Salt therapy can effectively manage your symptoms from respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, smoker's cough/ emphysema, allergies, sinusitis, and upper respiratory infections.
In the late 1700's, England had a lot of illnesses and not a lot of cures. British physicians, searching for solutions, began to tout the healing benefits of bathing in cold sea water and breathing in the breathing sea air. Ocean water was believed to shrink tumors, relieve melancholy, cure tuberculosis, and heal various lung diseases. But don't wait until summer—physicians claimed winter was the best time for an ocean bath, and the colder the water, the greater the benefits.
Infact, back in the late 1800's to early 1900's, for those suffering from respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, or allergies, Doctor's recommeded spending time by the ocean can bring noticeable relief. The moisture in the air helps reduce inflammation in the lungs, opening up airways and allowing for deeper, clearer breathing.
In the BBC TV drama Sanditon Tom Parker (a character in Jane Austen's Sanditon and was likely inspired by a real person) is Austen's biggest proponent of the “sea cure”. He's was so dedicated to the idea that he opens a resort town to bring more people to the coast. Austen writes that Parker “held it indeed as certain that no person could be really in a state of secure & permanent Health without spending at least 6 weeks by the Sea every year, ” adding that breathing sea air and bathing in the ocean can cure “every Disorder of the Stomach, the Lungs, or the Blood.”
Note: The Regency era is a period in British history that is often associated with culture, art, fashion, and architecture. It is generally considered to have lasted from 1795 to 1837.
Society women flocked to the sea for Regency-style spa treatments. One popular treatment was to dunk women, fully clothed or in something that looked like your grandma night gown flannel dress. (bikini's or swimwear were not allowed in that time period by women due to religious/social doctrine), into the ocean. This was repeated until the women were freezing and suffocating—which was also known as energized and revitalized. The women were then given dry clothes, back rubs, feet warmers, and a cup of tea. This is slightly different from today's spa treatments, which substitute pedicures for hypothermia. Men did it too, but they were usually in swim trunks.
Ocean water is good for your skin and lungs. According to a 1999 study from the University of Freiburg in Germany, sea water helps alleviate skin problems such as dermatitis and psoriasis. This is because it is rich in minerals, including magnesium, chloride, sodium, potassium, iodine, and sulfur. The sea's minerals also promote respiratory health, reducing allergies, sinus infections, and asthma symptoms. So it IS good to bathe in the sea and breathe in that ocean air!
Modern day use of saltwater, Hypertonic saline is a sterile saline solution of different concentrations, 3%, 3.5%, and 7% sold for nebulizer machines. It works by increasing the amount of sodium (salt) in the airways.
Salt is antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial – meaning it destroys or inhibits the growth of toxins and pathogens in your lungs. As it enters your respiratory system, it absorbs toxic moisture, cleanses, and clears away excess mucus, and gets rid of harmful bacteria.
Salt is widely known for its antibacterial benefits – that's why it's been used as a preservative. How does it work? Salt kills bacteria by effectively draining the water out of them. Without water, bacteria cannot function properly, ultimately, destroying it.
Inflammation occurs when your body's white blood cells are protecting you from bacteria, infections, and foreign organisms. Salt can be used to alleviate this inflammation, as it clears toxins and other viral causing agents from your nasal cavities and airways. The salt naturally attacks the problem in your lungs and nasal cavities by reducing all bronchial swelling.
Inhaling fine salt particles can thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to raise. This can help people with breathing issues, and is especially helpful for people with cystic fibrosis. Salt can help thin mucus in the lungs by attracting water into the airways, making it easier to cough out.
Salt attracts water into the airways, which thins the mucus, making it easier to cough out. Research has shown that inhaling hypertonic saline twice a day helps people with cystic fibrosis experience fewer lung infections.
Hypertonic saline can be given for cough, you will most often inhale hypertonic saline as a mist twice a day through a nebulizer.
AnchorHomemade Saline Solution Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup (8oz) water (distilled)
¼ to ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions:
Make the saline solution: There's more to making saline that just mixing salt and water. For the salt to effectively dissolve into the water, you must raise the water temperature. Boiling the water will also kill off any potentially dangerous microbes living in the tap water (I use distilled). Boil 8 oz. of water, then allow it to cool until just "very warm." Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and mix well until the salt dissolves. The ¼ teaspoon of salt will make a saline solution that matches the amount of salt in your body (isotonic). https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Saline-Nasal-Spray
Anchor – You may want to try a salt spray that has a greater concentration of salt than your body (hypertonic). – This is useful for significant congestion with a lot of discharge. If you're having trouble breathing or clearing your nose, consider a hypertonic solution.[2]
– To do this, simply add 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of 1/4 teaspoon.
– It is not recommended use a hypertonic solution for infants or small children younger than five years old. However, I know parents that do with a much more diluted solution.
Consider adding baking soda (optional). A half teaspoon of baking soda will adjust the pH of the solution. This makes it less likely to sting a sore nose, especially with hypertonic solutions with a higher salt content. Add it while the water is still warm, and mix well to dissolve the baking soda.
You can add the salt and the baking soda all at once, but adding the salt first usually results in easier mixing.

I remember as a kid back in the 1970's, my country Grandmother (she was born in 1911) putting a “whistling” tea kettle on the stove and when it started to “whistle” she would set in front of it (about a foot 12”) and inhale the steam. I also remember her putting a spoonful of Vick's Vapor-Rub into the water. As the kettle got hot, the salve would melt and release the medical oils into the steam. I don't remember her ever use the kettle to make tea in so I'm sure it was for steaming only.
Putting Vick's Salve into a pot of hot water and steaming it for inhalation was popular in the early 1900's and still practiced today.
I have not seen anyone mention this use of a tea kettle on the internet. It's always some company's selling some fancy electric device or something like that.

I want to share this from a book I am currently reading about nebulizing inhalants.
From the Book: Journal of the American Medical Association, Volume 86, p. 551-553,1926.
MEDICATION OF THE RESPIRATORY AIR CURRENT
The following general principles may serve for guidance in the choice of sprays and inhalations:
1. The finer the particles, the deeper into the respiratory tract extends their action. Hence, for medicating the upper air passages, coarse sprays should be used; for the lower air passages, fine sprays must be employed. Only gases enter the alveoli; and these are so actively absorbed as to be liable to produce general rather than local action, with the exception of highly irritant gases, such as chlorine, which cannot be inhaled in sufficient concentration to produce more than local effect. Non-volatile or slightly volatile bodies, on the other hand, are not so actively absorbed from the respiratory tract; and these, more or less medicated or flavored, are useful for topical action.
2. Moist inhalations are preferable in dry catarrh; "dry" inhalations in catarrhal conditions with profuse secretion. Most prominent among the latter class of inhalations are the vapors of volatile oil, which tend to lessen secretion and antagonize offensive odors of the sputum and breath.
3. Steam inhalations are grateful in acute inflammatory conditions of the respiratory passages: they soften mucus, favor expectoration, diminish irritation and lessen cough. They should not, however, be immediately followed by exposure to cold dry air, chronic catarrh, hot inhalations are not suitable. They increase the sensitiveness of the membrane on exposure to cold. Cold inhalations, by means of nebulizers, are here more advantageous.
4. In acute dry inflammatory conditions of the respiratory passages, not only steam but also "nebulized" liquid petrolatum, plain or mildly medicated, may be usefully employed by inhalation and is safer than steam inhalation, when the patient does not stay indoors afterward. In chronic inflammation with profuse secretion, more strongly medicated petrolatum sprays or volatile oil vapor inhalations are resorted to.
5. Of course, whenever possible, substances of an agreeable odor should be preferred for medication of the respiratory tract.
6. We cannot reach, by inhalation, tissue not exposed to the air current. In no disease have inhalations been more abused than in pulmonary tuberculosis.
Even though it be a disease of the lungs, tuberculous tissue is completely outside the air passages, as the tuberculous process obliterates those that were present in the involved area. Inhalation is of value in tuberculosis to modify the accompanying bronchitis, or to lessen the offensiveness of sputum; but against the tuberculous process itself it is impotent.
There are five different methods of medicating the respiratory air current: (1 ) gas inhalation, (2 ) steam inhalation, (3) vapor inhalation, (4) spray inhalation and (5) smoke (fog) inhalation.
Colloidal Silver
"Agyria is a common problem with using a straight batch of colloidal silver, often the skin is not really blue, it is closer to gray color. The problem occurs when a free silver ions react with the sulfur in your body to from AgS, or silver sulfide. Most colloidal silver produced are actually either a nonreactive Ag or a reactive Ag with a charge, then it reacts with the body's available sulfur to cause a "blue skin", more more accurately is "gray skin".
This problem can be prevented, which I solved over a decade ago, which required that a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide is added to a liter of colloidal silver. The peroxide, reacts with the FREE silver ions to form Silver Oxide. When I first add this, I get a cloudly solution, and after three days, this cloudy solution becomes a clear white transparent water. However, an unreacted Ag or Silver in a solution will show itself is a faint yellow transparent solution. So this ia an easy way to tell. If you add a drop of H2O2 into this it becomes cloudy. However, if the solution is Silver oxide, it won't become cloudy as there is no longer any "free" silver ions. When they are no longer free, it won't react with the body's sulfur to form silver oxide. Hence, if a hydrogen peroxide, at least, is added to the colloidal silver you buy, the silver is no longer free, and the condition of blue skin or gray skin or agyria is prevented.
However, there is ANOTHER way, that DOES NOT REQUIRE you to wait for three days to fully digest the free Silver. When I make a batch of colloidal silver, using the silver wire or silver rods as an electrode using any D.C. adapter, the BEGINNING solution is distilled water with a 0.5% H2O2 concentration, which is 1/2 percent H2O2 concentration, or approximate amount such as one tablespoon (plastic spoons!) of 3% H2O2 in a 1 or 1.5 liter of colloidal silver is generally sufficient, to prevent any free metal silver form occuring.
It should be noted that a silver oxide may have a better antibacterial properties and less staining problems then the use of pure silver. So in practice, the use of COLLOIDAL SILVER OXIDE, is the one I actually use and relatively problem free. For example, if a free silver has too much charges, I have noted that constipation occurs if taken too much of colloidal silver with FREE SILVER, but this doesn't happen (within reason such as NOT DRINKING liters of it!) if a COLLOIDAL silver oxide is prepared."

Basically, what Ted is saying above is that you must add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to colloidal silver because this acts to completely and safely remove any dangerous reactive silver in the solution that can cause Agyria problems with long term use.
Garlic and Oregano
I wanted to add also using Oregano Oil topically as a chest salve (similar too how you would use Vicks).
Oregano Oil/Herb is the # 1 anti-biotic on Earth. Oregano will kill any kind of "germ". Proof of this statement can be found in the Quarterly Review of Biology, March 1998 and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, June 1977, among other authoritative publications.
When oregano oil was first tested in 1910 it was described by H. Merindale as "the most powerful plant-derived antiseptic known." It has been found effective both in killing multiple bacteria (germs) and preventing their growth. It demonstrated to be 26 times as potent as phenol known for its strong antiseptic properties. (Phenol is also a versatile precursor to a large collection of drugs, most notably aspirin, and many herbicides and pharmaceuticals).
Scientist W. H. Martindale found Oil of Oregano 26 times more active as an antiseptic than 1910 phenol (or carbolic acid, as it was known in 1910). Synthetic phenol, also known as carbolic acid, a strong antiseptic, was for much of the 20th century the standard by which all other antiseptics were measured. Yet research shows the “killing action” of naturally occurring carvacrol is superior to phenol - it is unmatched in its antimicrobial actions.
Note by Rob: Oregano oil may be considered safe internally at doses up to 600 mg/day, for up to 6 weeks per animal studies. I've taken internally for 3 months with no adverse effects but I know everyone is different with different underlying health conditions so you be your own doctor.
IDEAS FOR TOPICAL USE FOR PNEUMONIA.
Simply mix 12 drops Oregano oil into 1 oz. carrier oil (1% dilution ratio for children 2yr+ and sensative adults). Apply topically to chest, back, neck, bottom of feet.
NOTE: According to Shirley Price's book, Aromatherapy for Babies and Children, she mention Oregano oil is safe for use on children 2 years+ old topically, should not exceed 2% of the recipe, or 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil. However, 1% will get you there also. My personal use, I use 3-4% adult dose (18-24 drops per oz.). Once I tried 25%. WOW! I was on FIRE! Yea, I'm crazy like that.
Another remedy I have learned about is to mix Oregano oil into Garlic oil to increase it's potency.
I've also taken Vicks Salve, melted it, add Oregano oil to the melted salve, mix til uniformed and allow to cool too room temperature before using. This is Vicks on steroids

Vick's VapoRub Steam Inhalation
You get steam inhalation and a great facial ...
Many decades later, I use a large-mouth stainless steel thermos (1.5 litres) filled with boiling water. I add various essential oils depending on what I have.
I set a large stainless steel funnel on top, put a towel over my head and inhale the steam. Bliss!
The funnel directs the steam more to my nasal area and the thermos keeps the water quite hot.
I'm a low-tech person.
Always enjoy your posts, Rob!

The 2 hard hitters I always recommend for use in a nebulizer are Thyme and Oregano essential oils. Both are very strong, but I find thyme more tolerable, for me at least.
The effects of Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy on airway status and oxygen saturation of patients under mechanical ventilation: A randomized clinical trial
Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212958820301609
Abstract
Background and Objective
A wide range of intensive care patients on a ventilator are at risk for pneumonia and atelectasis. Thymus vulgaris essential oil administered by nebulization has been proposed as potentially useful in preventing these complications. The present study aimed to determine the effect of Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy on airway status and oxygen saturation in patients under mechanical ventilation.
Materials and Methods
AnchorThis randomized clinical trial performed on 66 patients on a ventilator in two groups. The experimental group received the Thymus vulgaris essential oil (four drops of pure Thymus vulgaris essential oil with 10 mL distilled water) every eight hours for 30 minutes in three days through a nebulizer. The control group received 10 mL of distilled water every eight hours for 30 min in three days through a nebulizer. A questionnaire collected information on socio-demographic characteristics and clinical parameters, and a checklist used to record variables related to airway status (weight, volume, the concentration of secretions; respiratory sounds; airway plateau pressure; airway maximum pressure) and oxygen saturation.
Findings
The concentration of airway secretions in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.001, F = 61.901). The mean airway maximum pressure was significantly decreased (p < 0.001, F = 17.315) and showed a significant difference in the mean oxygen saturation at 8 am and 10 am between the day before the intervention and the first to third days after intervention in the experimental group (p < 0.001, F = 13.972).
Conclusion
Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy diminished the concentration of airway secretions through increasing the volume and reduced the weight of secretions, and decreased the airway maximum pressure through a decline in the stimulation of the airway. It also facilitated the discharge of mucous membranes, improved gas exchange, and increased the oxygen saturation of patients under mechanical ventilation through direct stimulation of the mucosa, increasing the secretion of the airway mucosa, and increasing the activity and movements of the respiratory tract cilia. Therefore, Thymus vulgaris inhalation therapy may be recommended to improve the condition of the respiratory tract in patients under mechanical ventilation.
Note: A 2011 study conducted at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland tested thyme oil's response to 120 strains of bacteria isolated from patients with infections of oral cavity, respiratory and genitourinary tracts. The results of experiments showed that the oil from the thyme plant exhibited extremely strong activity AGAINST ALL of the clinical strains. Thyme oil even demonstrated a good efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains.

Vitamin D, Magnesium, Turmeric

For coronavirus curement, simple cough, severe bronchitis or pneumonia I can suggest you try using these ingredients. This curement was developed by me.
I suggest using this:
a) 30, 000IU vitamin D per day (notice here the dosage is 30, 000IU and not 3000IU) for three days (in case symptoms persist, take for another two days).
b) 600mg Magnesium Citrate per day
Probably you will see amazing results, since already in two different occasions, it eliminated cough in 2 days and on another occasion it eliminated cough in three days.
Use this curement completely on your own responsibility or inform your doctor as to supervise supplementation.

Vitamin C
He took the vit c every day. He still takes it without fail. He was prob taking around 150 to 200 grams a day for months (about 5) until one day he could only take around 10grams, and he has stayed on that ever since. Straight away he had emediate benefits. He stopped coughing up blood, no longer needed anti biotics and made a slow recovery. Now he is SO much better. I thought I was going to lose him but the vit c saved him. He also took cayenne. I would give him hot water with about quarter teaspoon cayenne. Try and give him regular drinks of it, I'm sure this helped too. If you have the money you can also try adding Lypo-Spheric vit c. It has a higher strength absorborancy.
This is the technique we used:
BOWEL TOLERANCE METHOD by Robert Cathcart
In 1970, I discovered that the sicker a patient was, the more ascorbic acid he would tolerate by mouth before diarrhea was produced. At least 80% of adult patients will tolerate 10 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid fine crystals in 1/2 cup water divided into 4 doses per 24 hours without having diarrhea. The astonishing finding was that all patients, tolerant of ascorbic acid, can take greater amounts of the substance orally without having diarrhea when ill or under stress. This increased tolerance is somewhat proportional to the toxicity of the disease being treated.
As he started to get better and we learnt more about alternative medicine we added other vits. Mainly for his heart as pneumonia was linked to years of heart problems. We added D-ribose, L- arginine. HE loves this stuff, if he misses a dose he feels so tired. Also Q - 10.
Hope this helps.

I related how we were doing Bill Munro's H202 inhalation and he should try it. A few months later he called me mad as a wet hen, saying that I was trying to kill him. He was coughing up bad stuff. Later that year he called to thank me because he had not gotten pneumonia . He never got pneumonia again for 3 years . He was a smoker and I think that was a factor for his initial problems.
Maybe Brad was a smoker and that caused his problem. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves. Different strokes for different folks. Live and learn.

Tea Tree Oil in Diffuser

DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2016.02.017
Tea tree oil (TTO) is a natural essential oil with strong antimicrobial efficacy and little drug resistance. However, the biomedical applications of TTO are limited due to its hydrophobicity and formulation problems. Here, we prepared an inhalable TTO nanoemulsion (nanoTTO) for local therapies of bacterial and fungal pneumonia. The optimal formulation of nanoTTOs consisted of TTO/Cremophor EL/water with a mean size of 12.5nm. The nanoTTOs showed strong in vitro antimicrobial activities on Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. After inhalation to the lung, the nanoTTOs had higher anti-fungal effect than fluconazole on the fungal pneumonia rat models with reduced lung injury, highly microbial clearance, blocking of leukocyte recruitment, and decrease of pro-inflammatory mediators. In the case of rat bacterial pneumonia, the nanoTTOs showed slightly lower therapeutic efficacy than penicillin though at a much lower dose. Taken together, our results show that the inhalable nanoTTOs are promising nanomedicines for local therapies of fungal and bacterial pneumonia with no obvious adverse events.
Note: Cremophor EL is a popular castor oil derivative. Cremophor EL has a slightly lower degree of ethoxylation and is not hydrogenated.

I had Covid and repairing my lungs. I just started with hydrogen peroxide inhalation therapy.
I empty out a salt nasal spray and rinse thoroughly with distilled water. Then using Food grade 3 % hydrogen peroxide dilute by half with distilled water and put in container.
Watch the videos here on how to use the spray for inhalation.
It does help.
Note: I do not do the internal method, there are people here and links that have that protocol. Also there are different grades of hydrogen peroxide. 35% hydrogen peroxide must be diluted! Make sure you use 3% food grade!

Onion water, garlic water, leek water, and extracts cooked out from any species of the onion family, seem to have a beneficial effect on the lungs and general circulation, in times of cold, coughing, soreness and tenderness, not as a curative remedy, but as a food tonic, especially, if mixed with Eucalyptus, or alfalfa honey and drank steaming hot.
