Beat Upper Respiratory Infections at the Source!

NASAL SPRAY/MIST PROTOCOL

 

Nothing will replace a properly functioning nerve/immune system so make sure you are regularly checked for nerve interference!


Then for additional support at the source see this protocol:


Although there is documentation for the addition to Nasal Spray/Nasal Irrigation solutions of Colloidal Silver and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), per Dr. Alex Vasquez, “As far as topical/nasal rinse antimicrobials are concerned, I think the povidone iodine is clearly the best.” Povidone Iodine nasal irrigation and gargling reduce bacterial/viral load. The use of a diluted Povidone-Iodine solution in your mouth and nose is a simple way to kill the bacteria/virus where it lives. This can also be used as a preventative measure by people who have been exposed to Covid-19 but are not yet sick. “Nasal irrigation might relieve symptoms and reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in patients with COVID-19”… “Nasal rinses physically disrupt the viscous surface layer, removing mucus and particulate matter, and increase hydration of the deeper aqueous layer, thereby improving underlying ciliary beat frequency and reducing local inflammatory mediators. These effects can be particularly helpful during a viral respiratory infection where mucociliary dysfunction and mucostasis can result from the inflammatory response.



To make the 1% Povidone-Iodine nasal or gargle solution, mix 5 ml (1 tsp) of 10% Povidone-iodine with 50 ml of distilled/filtered water. This will make a 1% Povidone-Iodine solution that is diluted enough to use in the nose/mouth. DO NOT USE 10% POVIDONE-IODINE.


If you are iodine allergic or intolerant, you can substitute 1% hydrogen peroxide. To make a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution, mix 10 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide with 20 ml of distilled/filtered water. This will make a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution that is diluted enough to use to use in the nose/mouth.


Most Effective Application: Using a plastic nasal “squeeze-bottle” or poured in via a Nettie Pot; Squirt 1 tsp of the 1% solution into one nostril and sniff this to the back of your throat. Spit it out immediately. Repeat with the other nostril. Do this twice in each nostril. After performing the nasal rinse, gargle at least 2 tbsp of the diluted solution for at least 30 seconds. DO NOT SWALLOW.


Most Convenient Application: Use either 1% solution through a “Nasal Spray” bottle or purchase the Povidone Iodine Nasal Spray (2-spray in each nostril). Sniff to back of throat and then blow nose.

According to Dr. Vasquez, the nasal spray application is effective, but not as effective as the “Nasal Rinse and Gargle” described above.

Repeat this protocol 1-4 times a day for prevention, or up to 6 times a day with acute infection.
