I heard about using Povidone-Iodine as a mouthwash & nasal antiseptic solution from Dr. McCullough in an interview last night. First time I'd heard about it. He said use it as a mouthwash (do NOT swallow!) and also swab out your nostrils with it .... do this, as an example, when you've been out and about grocery shopping, in the public, etc.

I posted this technical article, but there is a less technical article at this link ....

Gargling With Iodine Beats COVID

https://drsircus.com/general/gargling-with-iodine-beats-covid/

Selected excerpts from link:

A small randomized controlled trial suggesting that gargling with povidone-iodine clears the virus from the nose and throat within four days. This result comes as no surprise because, for a century, doctors have known that iodine is effective, not only for bacterial and fungal infections but for viruses as well.

On day 4, 100% of those in the povidone-iodine group had cleared the virus.

On May 26, another study was released, providing the first direct evidence that povidone-iodine, a widely used antiseptic, is capable of killing SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. As little as 0.5% povidone-iodine completely inactivated the virus in 60 seconds, comparable to 70% alcohol. Greater concentrations were equally effective but provided no additional benefit.

This second was an in vitro study, testing the ability to inactivate the virus when infecting isolated cells from the kidneys of African green monkeys. Povidone-iodine is traditionally used topically. This study does not provide any basis to suggest it should be swallowed orally, which might cause diarrhea or worse in large amounts because Povidone-iodine is not for oral consumption, but Lugols and Nascent Iodine are.

This suggests that 0.5% povidone-iodine solutions (which can be made by diluting 10% solutions) can be used inside the nose with a sterile swab, nasal irrigation system, or nasal spray that they can be swished in the mouth for 60 seconds to kill the virus.

Have had the stuff here for ages,

What rate for mouthwash gargle,couldnt determine from the article.

Wondering about 3% peroxide too

Ummmm - you all have seen bottles of Pov/Iodine? Looks like coal tar. Tastes like hell. So the idea here is to snort this a few times a day?

I can imagine the faces of co-workers who happen to see the results of you blowing your nose.

Egads - we have a gusher!

We have store bought and homemade nasal spray solutions, with these ingredients.

Have used the drops (DILUTED, of course), for years, for mouth wash/rinse, as well.

Did you buy the 10% solution and dilute it or were you able to find something more in this recommended dose?

Very good info at this link. Be sure to watch the short how-to video.
