Believe it or not many people have a mucosal resistance and the virus never has a chance to replicate. Stopped at the front door. That immunity varies by individual. See UK Challenge Study (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-022-01780-9).

I try to avoid respiratory infections via mouth/nose sanitation like was done eons ago. I use a dilute Betadine solution other do fine with simple salt. So very odd our masters of public health can't be bothered to do a PSA. Doctors, some of them, say it works.

Or don't cut all your nose hairs out. I truly believe that helps. It is the first barrier.

And wash your mouth out people.

And how many "respiratory infections" might actually be toxicity from air pollution, or chem trails, or both, or something else?

People just decide things when really, they're just GUESSING.

Detox: Vit's C, D, Zinc; Quercetin, found in many foods; I use a tsp of baking soda in water 2x/week, and DAILY a little silicon dioxide, which is like eating sand... it's used for digestion in farm animals, so... as a dog, I accept it easily. ;) Chia seeds are a chelator-- there are many foods that chelate naturally. And nobody can be harmed by sipping warm water with fresh lemon juice in it (buy organic lemons, tho-- they are highly sprayed, probably because they're so good for us).

Bentonite clay has been used as a detox for a long time.

I won't wash my mouth (out or in) because swearing sometimes is an integral part of my speech lol And, Ryan, the nose hairs is a tricky

part, health benefit or not, don't think it's doable for me 🤪🤣🤣😄

I recently discovered this nasal spray...and have been really impressed. I usually struggle with fall allergies, but have been completely fine since I started using this daily. It is a saline spray with xylitol and grapefruit seed oil...my understanding is that it coats the mucosal lining preventing allergens (as well as bacteria and viruses) from causing an issue. I can’t remember where I read that they used it it in the placebo arm of some of the trials for covid and discovered it’s got some efficacy against viral infections...anyway, thought I’d share, I’ve been really impressed.

XClear is in my car and my kitchen. Might work. Worth the simplicity.
