Another useful nasal care product is Snoot. It needs to be combined fresh because the chlorine dioxide vaporizes with time but it is effective and has a pleasant cinnamon/clove aroma.

During Covid I gave voice lessons over Zoom. Not ideal but I had called the University voice teachers who are my friends and mentors. They were using Zoom as well. When things started to open up I started having my students come back for in house lessons. Well I had a student that didn’t know she had COVID come to lessons and guess what. Yup I caught Covid from her. It was very mild , lasted 3 days with a residual cough. Thank heavens! Since that time I have told my students to not come to lessons if they are sick or think they are coming down with something. When I teach the student is spewing air rod at me like they are blowing it at my face. You get the picture. Well most of them don’t pay attention to getting sick and coming to lessons. I have sent them home or had parents pick them up . Then I proceed to spray saline solution up my nose and gargle listerine . Then spray my music room with Lysol. I know it sounds extreme but I am almost 69 years old. I usually don’t catch anything. If I do catch something I use the Malone protocol. Which helps tremendously. I need to try this nasal spray. Every little thing we can do to not get sick. Have a great day

As a special ed teacher, K-2, I have kids sneezing and coughing on me all day long and many times, they are not covered and I get showered with spital on my face, while I'm in mid-sentence! It's great :( I use a sovereign silver nasal spray, at least 2x a day. I also nebulize with it when I feel something coming on. Its working well.

I personally inhale 5 ml of a saline NS containing hydrogen peroxyde 0,1% plus 2 drops of lugol aqueous iodine.

I will have to show this article to my wife, who is enjoying the cold I gave her this past weekend. :)

We brew our own Hocl in a little pot. Very simple. It’s also the main component of most eyelid cleansers. Recently I started rubbing it onto the skin of our itchy dog. Mild but noticeable results. It’s also a great counter wipe

Having periodontal disease and a recent tooth infection, I wondered if HOCl could be used in the mouth. I looked it up, and there are studies indicating that it can be used successfully for gum disease and periodontal disease. Unfortunately Curativa Bay doesn’t make a mouth rinse. During the peak of the infection before the antibiotic kicked in to start relieving the pain, out of desperation I resorted to spraying this nasal rinse on my gums (and using colloidal silver and an herbal tea mixture). This combination did me know harm and might have speeded up the healing, but I have no way of knowing. I do wish Curativa would make a mouth rinse.

I want to emphasize the purity and safety of this product.(Curative Bay) Why people recommend other products without looking deeper into this one, surprises me.

I love Curative Bay products and the skin care has done wonders for me. Based on that I ordered the nasal cleanser as soon as it was available. Love it also. I have no medical background but at 82, I try to avoid prescription meds as much as possible!

Yes! My husband golfs (ugh) and is doing an outside home repair on siding. He is exposed to lots of chemicals in these situations, as well as being sensitive to the change of outdoor air vs air conditioning. We have the Curativa Bay spray and he uses it to stop sneezing from the air change temp. He uses it other times if I remind him... / I started being aware of any subtle nose or throat change when I was working with so many clients, and immediately started using a Homeopathic remedy to stave off a cold. It has worked remarkably well. Between using these two substances our life is much less impacted by resp. illness.

People are too quick to throw out "conflict of interest." I like to call something like this a confluence of interest...

In one of the references, the authors showed a 3.2 -Log10 improvement, which is three orders of magnitude, or 1000 fold improvement, and that was at 3.5ppm. I have zero issues with higher ppm HOCL in the nose, or nebulized into the lungs.

I person I knew worked at an ammonia factory and told me that nobody every got colds or the flu. Could ammonia help fight off a cold or the flu?
