Can it be taken internally ? I did read the same thing and thought it mentioned **liposomel ** meaning topical absorbed through the skin / Correct ? How to make a skin patch and what dose ?
As a precaution not to get the covid, I went ahead added 1/4 tsp of sea salt to my 1 liter drinking water once a week and started to gargle salt after meals like 3x a day for 2 days. Also for the first time, I tried the foot painting that evening when all of a sudden I develop a swollen node under my chin and a sore throat that started as mild that got worse. Became paranoid and started to wear face mask right away to protect my child and hubby if in case I caught it. I'm now on my 2nd day of the sore throat and I'm kinda feeling some mucus now forming on my chest, so what I do is I gargle with saltwater and cayenne alternate it with providone iodine mouthwash, which didn't seem to work much, so I made and sipped the "stronger solution" from Ted of Bangkok for tonsilitis: 1 tbsp of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) plus 20 drop of 3% hydrogen peroxide (mine was the cheap regular drugstore brand) then 4 drops of povidone iodine solution in a half glass of water. I am still sipping 1 tspn every time I'm feeling the pain on the throat when I swallow. It has tremendously helped my throat tho I still feels it's there. Hoping to get better by tomorrow. It's the second time now that this swollen lymph node happened to me this month. First was when I puffed out on seaweed (fresh kind) that night I developed a swollen node right away but without the sore throat. I also had added sea salt to my drinking water that week. I wonder if it's the salt that got me into trouble twice or was it the iodine?
Iodine kills Corona Virus (MERS). This stuff is still prescribed for fungal infections like Sporotrichosis (with dosages). 99.99% inactivation withing 15s, proves it's virucidal effects. There is a question on MIC and effectiveness in a real person, but Iodine may be the lost anti-viral drug that solves this global pandemic. Rapid and Effective Virucidal Activity of Povidone-Iodine Products Against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4675768/ "inactivation of ≥99.99%) was regarded as evidence of virucidal activity. This was achieved versus MVA and MERS-CoV, under both clean and dirty conditions, within 15 s of application of each undiluted PVP-I product."
