I've been doing some research today and reaffirmed that a number of research studies have shown that some common mouthwashes and nasal sprays have been found to be very effective at killing the Covid-19 virus. Yet, for some reason, public health officials are extremely reluctant to inform the public of this, instead relying on the push for universal vaccination, like it or not, one size fits all, and shut up if you disagree.

This infuriates me. If research shows that easily available and inexpensive products may significantly reduce the likelihood of infection, that should have been shouted from the rooftops. Instead, it was suppressed. Suggesting these other preventatives as parts of the toolkit does not mean that they still couldn't promote the vaccines, but their failure to even mention these other treatments strikes me as a violation of medical ethics.

I would wager that if mouthwash is helpful… Then just gargling with salt water is also helpful… Which pushes Covid into the same classification is a common cold

This infuriates me as well.

What you point out lines up perfectly with many other things the Gov and medical community have done to make this situation worse. We could fill pages with bullet points they have done to make this situation as bad as possible.

If they were just dumb, they would have gotten half of them right. But they are 0 for 100.

They’re not dumb, they’re bad. But lots of people still give them the benefit of the doubt. Unbelievable.

Yup.

"...Conclusion: Patients who initiated isotonic saline nasal irrigation after a positive COVID-19 PCR test were 19 times less likely to be hospitalized than the national rate. Further research is required to determine if adding povidone-iodine to irrigation reduces morbidity and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infection."

[Shoefus]

As I understand it, if it was accepted that there were already workable therapeutics then the emergency use authorization for the vaccine could not be used. There’s your rub.

I tried to look up Afrin, but found nothing with an initial search.

All True.

My comment to Dr. Malone on Dec 16:

Replying to @RWMaloneMD

“Dr. Malone, I’m sure you know this is not about public health, but about huge profits and control of the public on a global scale. Subjection to the Great Evil. The worst possible form of Totalitarianism.”

For that comment to Dr. Malone, I was suspended on twitter for a week. FACT (I would not have been able to find my comment, as it was to Dr. Malone and he is permainently suspended. But another person RTed my comment and I was able to see it.)

I archived my Twitter account for about the 3rd time since 2009. The file size was 2.7 GB in size. I only did it to have an idea how I could get back in touch with some of my old friends there after they shut me down.

If research shows that easily available and inexpensive products may significantly reduce the likelihood of infection, that should have been shouted from the rooftops.

Based on watching many Medcram videos, I'm developing this home-brew treatment for myself to address the various phases of the COVID-19 lifecycle.

1. Infection Prevention

I use a nasal rinse made up of a simple salt/sodium bicarbonate mix (the basic "Netie Pot" treatment) and add a teaspoon of Povidone-Iodine 10% solution to a 1.5 oz (44 ml) nasal spayer. Whenever I plan to go out to do chores, I put two sprays in each nostril as an antiseptic barrier to kill COVID-19 particles that might land there. I use this one from Walgreens and will refill it myself with a NeilMed mixture when it runs out.

I also use a mouthwash made up of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water when I brush my teeth.

See: KRCR TV report from a local Northern California TV station (Redding) about a local ear-nose-throat (ENT) physician who recommends a sinus rinse to protect the major access point of COVID-19 -- your nostrils.

2. Infection and Gestation

I plan to "pre-activate" the interferon in my innate immune system. COVID-19 blocks the production of interferon, which delays the response of the Killer Cells of the innate immune system.

To "pre-activate" the interferon, I will use a hot/cold treatment every 3 days. I will go into my backyard hot tub, set at 104 degrees F. I'll follow a 10-minutes in and then 10 minutes out pattern for about an hour.

The goal is to have the body ready and waiting to find COVID-19 viruses if they enter my body.

See: Innate Immunity, Interferon, and COVID 19 in Children: Update 128

3. Strengthening the Endothelial Cells

I will take Zinc and the Zinc ionophore Quercetin. Quercetin will allow the Zinc to pass through the cell membrane, where it will wait for the COVID-19 virus to bond and insert its RNA. Then it will stop the RNA replication process inside the cell.

See: Medcram Coronavirus Epidemic Update 34: US Cases Surge, Chloroquine & Zinc Treatment Combo, Italy Lockdown

4. Fight Oxidative Stress

To buy my immune system time to develop the antibodies to fight the fast-replicating (hindered by Zinc) COVID-19 virus, I will take NAC and Sulforphane to keep my Glutathione antioxidant levels high. Antioxidants replace the lost electrons from O₂ superoxide molecules, keeping them from forming H₂O₂ hydrogen peroxide, which is what damages the internal organs.

COVID-19 binds to the ACE2 receptors, which block the proteins which normally trigger the production of Glutathione. This causes the body to go into Glutathione deficiency, which leads to oxidative stress, which causes the organs to fail. This is when people are put on ventilators.

See: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 65: COVID-19 and Oxidative Stress (Prevention & Risk Factors)

See: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 69: "NAC" Supplementation and COVID-19 (N-Acetylcysteine)

5. General Health

I will take vitamin C and D₃, and also Magnesium for bone health (where blood cells are made).

I hope that this combination of therapies will keep my body's natural immune system charged and ready to fight COVID-19 if I should get it.
