I plan to use the Neti Pot refill packs to add to the water. They are a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate.
RE: boiled water...
I can use some advice here. I have a water softener system (with charcoal filter) in my house, with an additional reverse osmosis triple-filter purifier in my kitche. This is supposed to purify my water down to about 10 parts per million.
I'm assuming that this is good enough to avoid boiling or distilling my own water?

Always hold your nose when jumping into a lake, pond or river. Naegleria can be forced up the nose.

I use a nose douche of salt and baking soda every night - helps with chronic sinusitis and hopefully washes out bacteria and viruses.
Might try adding a bit of iodine, but not sure how bad it will burn going through.
How about mercurachrome?
I am seeing Xlear packets in CVS.

For what it’s worth:
I caught Omicron the week of 1/4, developing symptoms 1/8. I have no knowledge of anyone sick around me prior to the last day of work, 1/7.
Due to my persistent sinus issues, I do a sinus flush daily. Within a few days of my initial symptoms, the body aches finally abated and then began basic symptoms of a head cold, sinuses, the works. I’ve had worse colds. A few days later I noticed that my ears were getting plugged. I then came across this thread and that night began flushing with Betadine, 1 tsp in my regular nasal flush. Relief was almost immediate, over the next couple days my ears became clear.
But here’s the deal: My ears are clear today, but I still have tinitis, my hearing is reduced like my ears are still plugged and I have equilibrium issues.
Here’s what I believe:
I believe that the virus was colonizing my nose and my sinus wash blew it into my eustachian tubes, infecting my inner ear. The betadine knocked down the infection blocking my tubes, but I believe that the virus is still infecting my inner ear. It’s only been 3 days and I’m pretty sure that my right ear has improved, but my left ear is bad.
Fair warning to others who regularly sinus wash to stop plain saline if you suspect Omicron and immediately begin flushing with a Povidone iodine solution to kill the virus and prevent experiencing my mistake.
I’m trying to order Ivermectin to begin a treatment regimen to clear this now latent virus from my ears, assuming that it doesn’t clear on its own (I’m highly skeptical of the latter).
“We’ll never forget the ridicule President Trump received from the mainstream media when he suggested that gargling with a type of bleach could slow down transmission of COVID-19 and even might shorten the illness.”
Can you believe how many fake variations of this BIG LIE there are? Gargling Bleach my ass... He never said that. In fact, I still remember that press conference and don’t even think he said the work bleach.
Can’t believe American Thinker is pulling that crap.
