We heard about Cetylpyridinium Chloride in mouthwash in 2020. I have been using it since then. I particularly rinse after returning home when I have had to mingle with people at stores. We use Colgate Total. I had not heard of using povidone-iodine before and wasn't aware it could be taken internally like Nascent Iodine ( my wife was using it = 6 drops in water to treat something else but she was extremely hard of hearing and her hearing came back and has stayed good). Would love to know how to use the povidone-iodine and what dosing.

This stuff can really stain your teeth and I suspect it is far more toxic than they indicate (which is still significant). Why not stick with hydrogen peroxide?

I remember common mouthwash being reported as effective by dentists early 2020. Fox4 report 3 years ago. https://rumble.com/vbwkw5-mouth-wash-may-help-stop-the-spread-of-covid.html

Later flccc added nose rinsing as a way to fight an infection. -> https://rumble.com/v1juvih-flccc-how-to-make-a-1-povidone-iodine-from-a-10-solution-for-the-nose-drop-.html

I bet oregano oil will do the same. I make a tea from my oregano spice - which is different than that used for the intense mediterranean oil - but it cures any throat issues very quickly.

I have known about povidone iodine to use as a rinse as well as a nasal rinse from Paul Alexander’s substack. It’s a good prophylaxis; it will provide a negative pcr every time , negative for flu, too although if you are sick and need to be diagnosed, you might not want to use it before your appointment. Good to know about otc brands like listerine and colgate peroxyl. Thanks for your tireless work, Walter!

Mouthwash causes hypertension, cancers and disrupts the gut biome

Yes, PREVENTION. It has worked for me. Mostly, as an older person at higher risk from covid, I avoid unnecessary exposure to "shared air" and as this is unavoidable at times ...

an ounce of prevention - hoping for high blood vitamin D3 levels in the 50 ng/mL to 90 ng/mL range with a combination of regular, periodic and bolus doses averaging out to 7500 IU D3 and 150 mcg K2-MK7 per day for 165 pounds of me. Plus some magnesium citrate and zinc and other supplements.

Just before indoor "shared air" exposure I 1st spray home mixed antiviral 12% xylitol in PLAIN sterile filtered water into nose and mouth to saturation and need to blow my nose. ( a scant tsp xylitol in a 30 mL nasal pump type spray bottle such as "Snoot" brand) I use birch xylitol. Cleans nose - improves biome - reduces viral binding - antiviral activity. Plain water, not saline, seems best here per published research and confirmed in a Steve Kirsch interview with head of Xlear, a company that produces and sells products with xylitol.

Then a few sprays of home mixed antiviral 0.5% povidone-iodine in sterile saline breathed deep as sprayed into each nostril and mouth and from a bit of a distance (aiming between the eyes at bridge of nose) a couple of sprays on to open eyes and eye area. (1 part povidone-iodine solution 10% to 19 parts saline solution note: some prefer a 1% mix 1 part povidone-iodine to 9 parts saline) Kills the damn virus. I choose more sprays, 4 into each nostril and into mouth of 0.5% (perhaps I will go to 0.6% as 1 study found more effective than 0.5%) for perhaps better wetting and coverage vs fewer sprays, 2, of 1%. I ignore trials started 5 days after testing positive, perhaps 10 days after infection that show no benefit. Probably offers good protection up to 3 hours. 1 study showed viral killing was gone at 4 hours. I found one hospital system mixing it, 0.5%, fresh every day out of concern that in solutions less than 1% the iodine, over time, may be released from the povidone bond. I understand this would make the iodine stronger and more irritating as free iodine dissolved out of the povidone. note: in Japan a .23% formulation is marketed. They were using it in the hospital 5 times over the course of the work day from just before starting work to just after finishing work. I give it a good shake before use, I mix a little at a time and use it up, if I had older solution and found it irritating I would mix up a new bottle. I have found the 0.5% very easy to use.

I started out from Dr George Domb, ENT https://krcrtv.com/news/local/redding-doctor-says-he-may-have-a-solution-to-prevent-transmission-of-covid-19 if it does not stay visible refresh and rapidly click on the page as it momentarily appears. He used 1/2 tsp povidone-iodine solution 10% in a 44mL squeeze bottle of saline nasal spray. His cautions for its use (for prevention) "Do not use it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have hyperthyroidism, are being treated for thyroid cancer with irradiated iodine, or hypersensitive to iodine. It should not be used on children younger than 6." I, personally, would certainly use it for all at the first sign of possible covid infection.

I wipe the spray nozzle and inside of the nozzle cap with a piece of tissue damped with a bit of bleach and clean out the spray bottle and sprayer using 70% isopropyl alcohol , spraying with the cap on loosely to rinse it out and shake out the bottle and spray out the sprayer then air dry before refilling.

After the xylitol and PVI sprays I put on a 3M N95 and add the side shields to my normal looking safety eye glasses - any eyeglasses help. Comfortable breathable 3M "Aura" 9205+ N95 with weak straps that break or the Aura 9210+ with probably stronger straps, both which fits the most people and keeps out 99.68% ( total leakage through and around the mask) of salt test particles with a median size the size of a single sars-cov-2 virus and within the salt test particle mix particles 30 times smaller and twice as large . see Aaron Collins on youtube. Also see there how easy it actually is to adjust N95 masks for fit. I also use the 8210+ because it is so easy to put on and take off fast and wear for a few minute "encounter" for protection from the curb side pickup "close talker" or cough or sneeze in the face. Aaron Collins has said the 3M™ VFlex™ Particulate Respirators 9100 Series was his "new favorite" because it is exceptionally breathable. It is also the lowest cost and available in 2 sizes.

After indoor "shared air" exposure, when back home I use 1% Johnson's regular "no more tears" baby shampoo in sterile saline for nasal flush using a NeilMed 8 ounce nasal flush bottle, for eye wash from palm of clean hand or eye wash cup - blinking a lot and for mouthwash/gargle. (1 tsp/5mL baby shampoo per ~16 ounces/500 mL saline) then, as you will, a few sprays of PVI. The baby shampoo in saline is a viral killer and good cleaner. I may also nebulize a few mL (8 ml?) of regular vodka - easy to do after a few partial "diluted" 1/2 breaths. I use the Philips respironics "InnoSpire Elegance", no prescription needed from some on line suppliers, low cost 100% duty cycle . I think this would be better, easier to breathe, if enough "saline mix" was added to the vodka to convert the 60% water fraction in the vodka to normal saline. note: A anti-covid ethanol nebulization study states that nebulization creates such tiny particles that the ethanol and water separate by rapid evaporation into very high percent ethanol and water. note: I think that if the right amount of baking soda / salt saline mix was added to dissolve in the water component of vodka, in addition to outright killing of the virus some additional inhibition of viral cell entry and inhibition of viral replication in the cell could be possible. note: Nebulation is a key to therapeutic delivery of covid-19 prevention and treatment including, per Dr Zelenko and David Scheim PhD, hydroxychloroquine where as few as 1 or 2 pills worth of HCQ nebulized almost immediately builds the therapeutic effect, and more, of a full course of pills without potential systemic side effects or contraindications.

For saline I use 1 part baking soda 3 parts salt which is close to the NeilMed formula for saline mix.

(by measuring a couple of NeilMed saline mix packs) to make 2 cups/16 ounces/500mL 1/4 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp salt. I boil the water from a 500 mL bottle of filtered water for a few minutes, let it cool down then add the baking soda and salt. I let it cool till just warm because heat chemically changes baking soda.

IMO Very much worth the effort for the high risk. Actually simple after a routine has been established. Most all may actually be at risk over the long term from some "spike" pathology even from "mild" covid and also from the spike "vaccine" antigen.

ps. the 2 times per day nasal flush study that reduced hospitalization of covid sick older high risk people by 8 times added either 1/2 tsp of povidone-iodine solution 10% OR 1/2 tsp of baking soda to 1 cup/8 fluid ounces of "normal" (NeilMed) saline. Both the povidone-iodine and the alkalizing baking soda mix worked ~ equally well

Wonder if a salt rinse wouldn't work just as well

Thank you. Fortunately I bought 6 bottles when Pierre Kory announced this in 2021 haha and I still haven't used them all... I need to give bottles of mouthwash for free or as gifts to ppl

Ppl can buy from CofixRx the nasal spray and throat spray too. It's expensive but has d3 and iodine

Well done on your continued search for ways to address the challenges of the spike protein. However, mouthwashes are not without their issues and effects on our health. I will put up as a note on substack.

I think mouthwashes may indeed help reduce someone who has Covid from spreading it, but in terms of prophlyaxis, ivermectin is the best theraputic for someone with a weak immune system, say if one was visiting a Covid ward ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347890660_COVID-19_EFFICACY_OF_PRE-EXPOSURE_PROPHYLAXIS_WITH_IVERMECTIN_IN_EXPOSED_PERSONS ).

Lastly, well done again on your work. If I could please make a suggestion, might it be possible for you to look for research on ways of minimising or even undoing some of the harms to fertility done by the spike protein? I think this will, sadly, be a growing issue for those presently under 40. Some of this may relate to persistence of the spike protein, PEG nanoparticles, conditions other than booster injections which may lead to further spike protein production in the body, and the inheritability of such production (and related).

FYI Works but stains your teeth if used regularly. Swish, wait, then rinse well with water after, imo.
