Not sure if it was a home remedy fad back in the 50s when I was a kid, but every time one of us kids had a sniffle, or every time something was going around, dad made us start gargling with iodine. Lots of iodine. Jeez, I hated that stuff. Must’ve gargled away five gallons of it growing up. And I still caught every bug that went around. Didn’t thwart a single one of them. So I’m interested... But highly skeptical!
Not a fad. Extremely effective as a treatment against a number of things. The liars in big pharma worked hard to destroy the messaging on iodine but the mineral NEVER changed.
I somehow missed the iodine snorting.
Salt water snorting growing up
