A relation of mine asked me to post this on FreeRepublic to find out what any scientists might think of a possible low tech cure for Covid. Here is what she says:
I'm wishing for feedback regarding rudimentary low tech concepts for 1. Treatment of Respiratory Infections, 2. Immunity Development and 3. Cancer Destruction.
Background:
A free chlorine residual around 1ppm after chlorine demand is met over sufficient contact time (less than 0.05ppm indicates adverse water quality) is commonly used to ensure adequate disinfection of pathogenic viruses and bacteria in ground water. Free chlorine concentrations less than 3ppm in drinking water are safe and prevent disease. These viruses and bacteria are not all dead, they are attenuated, which means they damaged to the point that they can not reproduce or multiply. UV and ozone serve a similar purpose however they can not sustain residual disinfection afterwards. (UV and filtration is required for treatment of surface water to irradiate giardia and filter out cryptosporidium).
Rudimentary low tech concept 1:
Treatment of respiratory infections
If a concentration of free chlorine less than 3ppm in water is safe to drink, is it possible, for a prescribed short period of time, and either at prescribed intervals of a single dose, a light dose of 0.05ppm chlorine combined with air could be inhaled via a respirator to attenuate respiratory viruses such as COVID-19? This method would combat the infection at its source; the targeted time period(s) and concentration would have to ensure minimal impact to the rest of the body. Possible alternatives include irradiation of lungs with UV light and low concentration ozone. These alternatives have the advantage of leaving no chemical residue however they may not be as widely available.
Rudimentary low tech concept 2:
Immunity Development
If we mix saliva containing live viruses such as COVID-19 in clean water and add sufficient chlorine to maintain a free chlorine residual of 1ppm after required Contact Time to ensure chlorine demand has been met, this water will contain necessary attenuated viruses which can not reproduce or multiply. Could this water be consumed to safely develop immunity against the attenuated virus it contains?
A friend who has researched vaccines mentioned an adjuvant (an vaccine additive which improves immune response, typically a heavy metal) and/or emulsifier (another common vaccine additive, typically polysorbate, helps cross cell walls) may be required additives to enhance immunity development. (MS)
3. Lastly, Cancer Destruction
Targeted application of low concentrations of chlorine directly to cancer cells may also prevent cancer cell reproduction, resulting in cancer destruction.
Thank you to all who dare to research, assess and discuss these concepts in a safe, professional and collaborative way.
Mix up some CDS and take as needed.
