Iota-Carrageenan Nasal Spray in the prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19 (Homemade recipe included)
Life Science Austria ^ | April 23, 2021 | Marinomed Biotech AG

Posted on 08/27/2021 8:13:38 AM PDT by ConservativeMind

In recent in vitro tests, Marinomed included four lentiviruses differently pseudotyped with the spike protein of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 or one of the three variants B.1.1.7, B1.351 and P1, respectively. Carragelose was able to inactivate all four virus forms at concentrations below 5 µg/ml. This is clinically relevant for the use of Carragelose-containing products: The marketed nasal sprays have a Carragelose concentration of 1.2 mg / ml, a more than 200-fold higher dose as shown to be effective in vitro. The non-sulfated polymers HPMC and CMC were ineffective even at the highest concentrations tested.

In addition, two of the three SARS-CoV-2 variants (B1.1.7 and B1.351) were independently tested in Vero cell tissue culture in cooperation with the virological institute of the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany. Carragelose showed similar effectiveness against the SARS-CoV-2 wild type and the tested variants.

Dr. Prieschl-Grassauer continued: “We are very pleased to show that Carragelose is effective regardless of the actual SARS-CoV-2 variant.

Marinomed’s lentivirus data show the ability of Carragelose to prevent the virus from attaching to the host cell.

Carragelose® is a sulfated polymer from red seaweed and is a unique, broadly active anti-viral compound. It is known as a gentle yet effective and safe prevention and treatment against respiratory infections. Several clinical and preclinical studies have shown that Carragelose® forms a layer on the mucosa wrapping entering viruses, thereby inactivating them, and preventing them from infecting cells. Increasing clinical evidence indicates that Carragelose® can also inactivate SARS-CoV-2.

This iota-carrageenan nasal spray is hard to find in the US and appears to be $20 a bottle. However, it is simple to make an equivalent spray with standard nasal saline from Walmart (3 ounce), reusing or buying another nasal spray bottle (need to pop out the nasal insertion portion to pour in the new batch), pure iota-carrageenan (some have sugars for cooking purposes we don’t want) (1/16 of a teaspoon per 3 ounce bottle), and two drops of polysorbate 20 (per 3 ounce bottle). Heat water and iota-carrageenan gently and covered until it gets to 158 degrees. Let it cool and add two drops of polysorbate 20. I’ll post the link to someone’s recipe from over a year ago (yes, this has been known for a while).

There are other studies from earlier last year and not necessarily using this brand, but the same concentration of iota-carrageenan.

Don’t eat the iota-carrageenan. It is for external use, only.

I’ve been using daily. The xylitol is supposed to inhibit the virus from sticking to nasal passages

I ordered the Betadine nasal spray a couple of days ago from Malaysia. Can’t get it here now.

“Don’t eat the iota-carrageenan.”

Cue the FDA: ‘You are not a fish, y’all’

I got the Betadine gargle wash but couldn’t find the spray anywhere. I figured I could swab my nasal passages with it. Just ordered the Xclear nasal spray. I have quite an arsenal!

Actually, seaweed is great for us, but the seaweed iota-carrageenan is pulled from is not one normally eaten, to my understanding.

Carrageenan in tiny doses is fine, but not meant for more than that use. For instance, mice are studied for IBD and Crohn’s disease by feeding them a little purposely spoiled iota-carrageenan. It permanently gives the mice those conditions.

The Betadine mouth wash is not made with iota-carrageenan.

I went to a wedding last weekend and used a homemade nasal spray consisting of 1 part providone iodine to 19 parts saline nasal spray. I did this before I went and when I returned. I also gargled with this. Not a pleasant taste, but I made sure not to swallow it.

Or simply use Iodine. This is from Earth Clinic:

Lugol's Iodine Nasal Solution

To get enhanced protection from the coronavirus, do the following:

1. Fill a small shot glass (for whiskey) half full of purified water.

2. Add four drops of 5% Lugol's iodine (or nine drops if you have 2% Lugol's iodine) to the water in the shot glass. Stir well with a clean spoon.

3. In each nostril, add one dropper-full of the iodine/water mixture and then gently sniff it into the nasopharynx region at the back of the nose.

When you add the iodine + water into your nostrils, this mixture will turn into vapour, which will further act to destroy any incoming virus that you breathe into your nose for several hours.

Similarly, when you breathe in through your nose, the iodine/water vapour will also move to help disinfect and give enhanced protection for the nasopharynx, throat, and lung regions as well.

This extra protection against COVID-19 infection would be particularly useful if you go into a crowded outside area or an infected environment.

This additional iodine protection might also be quite valuable for any nurses or doctors out there who are continually tending infected patients daily in hospitals.

The reason iota-carrageenan spray might be better is that it actively captures viral particles coming and going from the body for hours, plus it stops them from replicating during that time.

Iodine simply kills what is there at that moment, then does nothing for the next hours.

My friend’s naturopath recommended Xlear, so I got some. She said to use it before going to the store.
