The latest COVID cure

Gargle with Betadine or iodine - spray it up your news too. I expect we have a few members here that will rush out to buy some as soon as they can find a website validating it!!!

Snip -

Betadine is mostly intended for external use, as it can result in iodine poisoning if taken orally, says Gunter. But on social media, people are promoting it as a means of warding off the Covid-19 virus, either by gargling it or using it in a nasal spray. “Don’t get Covid. Prophylaxis is not that hard,” one person touting themselves as an ER doctor tweeted in a post that racked up almost 300 shares, along with a photo of various supplements, including melatonin and vitamin D (none of which have been proven to effectively prevent against Covid-19). “Also nasal spray with a couple of drops betadine in it. And gargle with original Listerine.”

Another poster on Facebook wrote, “Gargling, nasal spray and eye drops with 1 percent providone iodine (betadine) results in dramatically better outcomes with Covid infections. I do this every time I’ve been exposed.” This particular poster cites a 2020 paper written by a Bangladeshi plastic surgeon, one of several that investigates this question, to support this view. But there have been no human studies on the use of Betadine to treat COVID-19, just hypotheses and lab studies, says Dr. Michael Mrozinski, a family physician based in Australia. 

(For the record - Don't do this. Go get the FDA approved vaccine instead.)

Re: The latest COVID cure

Never heard of betadine, but people are using a hydrogen peroxide water mix in a nebulizer to good effect.

Beats the hell out of going to the hospital so they can kill you for the bounty.

Re: The latest COVID cure

Ivermectrin is proving more effective although Trump took HCQ and was back to a full scheduled 72 hours after being diagnosed with covid and being 70+ years of age and over weight.
