Notes:
NASAL WASH:
0.5, 1 and 5% Povidone-iodine had been recommended in the past.
1% is 1 part of 10% Povidone Iodine + 9 parts of tap water.
5% is 1 part of 10% Povidone Iodine + 1 part tap water.
CofixRx Nasal Spray (1.5% Povidone-Iodine Nasal Spray) –
contains carrageenan and
Vitamin D3, manufacturer
claims that it creates an
additional protective anti-
pathogenic barrier around the
nasopharynx, inactivating germs
or pathogens and providing a
layer of protection from
infection and transmission.
Saline Gargle (sodium chloride) and steam inhalation did not work in one study.
REMEMBER, WHEN IT COMES TO THE VIRAL ENTRY, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE NOSE AND THROAT! …and Omicron loves the nose (100x) and throat/bronchus (70x than Delta variant).
SUN EXPOSURE:
Have regular sun exposure between 6 am to 8:30 am. Aside from Vitamin D, the sun has NIR (Near InfraRed) wavelengths that increases level of intracellular melatonin and protects the mitochondria, the energy source of the cells. It boosts your immune system.
SLEEP:
Sleep 7-8 hours a night. If you can not sleep, you are not healthy.
Some studies say that the highest secretions of melatonin and GH are between the hours of 10:00 pm to 2:00 am, others say that the peak is between 2:00 am to 4:00 am.
Sleeping rejuvenates health and increases your immune system.
NUTRITION:
Avoid junk food which are inflammatory. Eat nutritious food.
Let your food be thy medicine.
Don’t let the chemicals in your food be thy poison.
