As COVID and its health effects move into a fourth year, those who become infected may be searching for remedies to improve their respiratory symptoms and keep them out of the hospital.
A new study determined that both a low- and high-dose saline regimen appeared to be associated with lower hospitalization rates compared to controls in SARS-CoV-2 infections.
"Between 2020 and 2022, individuals aged 18–65 years with positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 infection were randomly selected to undergo low- or high-dose saline regimens for 14 days," says Sebastian Espinoza.
"The low- and high-saline solutions consisted of 2.13 grams and 6 grams of salt dissolved in 8 ounces of warm water, respectively. Gargling and nasal rinsing was done four times a day for 14 days. Primary outcomes included frequency and duration of symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection; secondary outcomes included hospital or ICU admission, mechanical ventilatory support, or death. Those on the low- and high-dose saline solutions, as well as those in the reference population, had similar rates of vaccination."
A total of 58 individuals were allocated to either the low (27) or high (28) saline regimens; three were lost to follow-up. There were no significant differences in the primary or secondary outcomes.
During the study period, 9,398 individuals with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection were evaluated and were the reference population. The hospitalization rates in the low- (18.5%) and high- (21.4%) saline regimens were significantly lower than in the reference population (58.8%.) No significant differences were noted in other outcomes among these groups.
Jimmy Espinoza, MD: "We found that both saline regimens appear to be associated with lower hospitalization rates compared to controls in SARS-CoV-2 infections. We hope more studies can be done to further investigate the association."

We know the general COVID-19-positive population did not wind up in the hospital at a 58.8% rate.
People had vaccines at the same rate as the general population, for the respective years.
Well DUH. That has been suggested for a 100 years.
Iodized or plain?
.
BAN SALT!
Pharmacies ordered to not fill any salt prescriptions.
If you gargle with saltwater you will die!
It’s for salting roads. Really, you are going to swallow pieces of road, Y’all?
The only hope is two vaxx and four booster vaxxs.
.
My late mother gargled with salt water every time she had a cold…which was not often……also for sore throats
Makes me gag.
…..
Amazing these stats never once surfaced when the vaxx was being forced upon so many.
Use the Mexican Beer Salt sold in convince stores.
Comes in Lemond, Lime, Lemond Lime and Chili flavors.
Has the CDC ever been asked to explain why in:
2019 there were around 26,000,000 reported flu cases
2020 there were around 32,000,000 reported flu cases
2021 there were 1675 reported flu cases
Have people ever, finally, realized that they were driving into parking lots to get tested, by people that were hired from a temp agency, administered a faulty test that was never designed to test for something like COVID per the guy that invented the test, that they just blindly accepted results, and were duped?
Has the CDC ever had to explain what being ‘asymptomatic’ for this ‘virus’ actually meant? Did someone have it or not?
Has the CDC ever had to explain why they fueled such a panic and denied so many treatment options for a condition that over 99% of the people who “got it”, got over it without any medical intervention?
Has the CDC ever had to explain so many other things that were entirely Eff’d up about all of it?
Gargle and nasal lavage four times a day when exactly?
Every day of your life?
When you’ve been exposed to a COVID positive patient?
Does the saline gargle / nasal lavage help reduce complications with other viral diseases? What about the common cold?
Four times a day would be a challenge.
absolutely!!!!
My sensible doctor told me to gargle salt water and rinse my nose with saline solution during covid! Of course he prescribed me Ivermectin also!!
It was only COVID positive people who did this.
Isn’t salt used in dog food? Why would I gargle dog food instead of sending money to Dr. Fauci?
Has the CDC ever explained why they said a 92% pulse ox reading, which has always been just fine, was cause for “doctors” to intubate a person and give them Remdesivir, which often killed them??
Another one.
Gargling will stop me from catching a cold, bronchitis, or pneumonia????
No. Salt water gargling is witchcraft. No sane person would ever do that when there’s a scientific solution with the vaccine and monthly boosters.
If you gargle with salt water, you’ll drown and if you drown gargling salt water, that means you’re a witch.
Oh, wait, salt and water a basically free and Fauci and his clown show of sycophantic ghouls would rather kill you and make money off your death.
At the first sign of any complaints my mom would have a very warm glass of salt water for you to gargle with.
Prolly just coincidence.
plain, sea salt, or himilayan pink salt?
