Dr Peter McCullough: Nasal Spray and Mouth Gargle to stop COVID?

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D. -

Dr. Peter McCullough has impeccable academic credentials. He's an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, a full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas. He also has a master's degree in public health and is known for being one of the top five most-published medical researchers in the United States and is the editor of two medical journals.

Dilute Povidone Iodine or Betadine ( a 1% solution) gargling and as a nasal spray on a regular basis twice a day for prevention and then if you have been exposed or are in early stages use at least 4 or potentially 6 times a day. You can also use dilute hydrogen peroxide or dilute sodium hypo chloride or even Scope of Listerine – obviously do not swallow and spit out.

In this Sept 14, 2021 interview (below) with Peter Breggin MD, author of Talking Back to Prozac, Dr. Peter McCullough discusses the routine use of diluted (1%) Povidone Iodine mouth wash in the dental office as an excellent preventive measure for COVID-19. 

10% Povidone Iodine is available OTC (Over the Counter) without a prescription at any drug store for a few dollars. 

Note: This 10% Povidone Iodine must be diluted by one tenth, to 1% strength before use as a mouth wash, otherwise it is too strong and irritating. Dilute by adding 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the 10% Povidone Iodine into a full glass of water (250-300 ml). This will make the product diluted enough to use as a mouth rinse, or gargle, (approximately 1.0 to 1.2 %)

2 tablespoons = 30ml povidone iodine
1 glass water = 250-300 ml

Dr. McCullough recommends routine use of this mouthwash on a daily basis, and especially after contact with large indoor groups.

Dr Peter Breggin Interview with Dr Peter McCullough on Brighteon discussing COVID, vaccines, early treatment, prevention with Povidone Iodine mouth wash etc:

  

According to a mainstream media channel, "There appears to be no reliable data that suggests that povidone-iodine can help prevent COVID-19 or its spread...".

It's important to note that the scientific community relies on evidence-based research to inform medical recommendations and guidelines. If you come across information about a treatment or approach that is not widely accepted or that lacks strong scientific evidence, it's a good idea to do your own research and consult with a healthcare professional before making any decisions.

We have included the scientific evidence together with the sources and references below and we leave it up to you, the reader, to decide. 

Povidone iodine (PVP-I) is an antiseptic that has been used for over 150 years. The antiseptic has immediate virucidal effects against COVID-19 virus. 

There are 20 published studies supporting povidone-iodine for COVID-19. You can check out the list at c19pvpi.com (constantly updated).



Povidone-iodine is ranked no. 4 in this COVID-19 mortality drug league table below. 


In this December 4th, 2021 interview with Rebel News, Peter McCullough MD discusses what is known about the Omicron variant, and the use of Povidone Iodine Mouthwash, Nasal Wash and gargle for prevention of Covid-19. Dr. McCullough cites the Choudhury study in which 600 Covid infected patients were randomized to 1% povidone iodine, or saline placebo mouthwash and gargle. Patients were followed with PCR testing for viral load. Dr. Choudhury writes:

The group of patients used 1% PVP-I [One per cent Povidione Iodine Solution] have shown tremendously reduced mortality, morbidity and hospital as well as financial burden in this covid situation.

A study by Avinash Bidra found complete inactivation of the virus after 15 seconds of gargling with a 1% Povidone Iodine Solution. According to the authors, Povidone Iodine (1%) solution is “rapidly virucidal” at all dilutions tested.



In this April 2021 paper published in the Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, Arefin recommended the PVP-I oro-nasal spray for health care workers and anyone else to help prevent COVID-19. A simple mouth and nose spray could act as an effective shield to protect against COVID-19, adding one more tool to the arsenal of antiviral options. The straightforward solution was recommended by Dr. Mostafa Kamal Arefin of Dhaka Medical College & Hospital in Bangladesh and includes polyvinyl pyrrolidone or povidone iodine (PVP-I), a microbicidal agent with a virucidal efficacy of 99.99%.

How to Make Povidone Iodine 1% Nasal Spray

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D. -
Image
Is povidone iodine the next ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine? Is there any evidence that povidone iodine can treat COVID-19? Iodine 1% Nasal Spray is part of the FLCCC I-CARE early treatment protocol :  Nasal spray with 1% povidone-iodine: 2-3 times a day. Do not use for more than 5 days in pregnancy. If 1% product is not available, dilute the more widely available 10% solution and apply 4-5 drops to each nostril every 4 hours. Use 1 % povidone iodine commercial product as per instructions 2–3 x daily. If 1 %-product not available, must first dilute the more widely available 10 %-solution. To make 1% povidone iodine concentrated solution from 10% povidone iodine solution, one dilution method is as follows: – First pour 1½ tablespoons (25ml) of 10% povidone/ iodine solution into a nasal irrigation bottle of 250ml. – Then fill to top with distilled, sterile or previously boiled water. – Tilt head back, apply 4–5 drops to each nostril. Keep tilted for a few minutes, let drain. - Not recom

Quercetin and Zinc: Zelenko Treatment Protocol

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D. -
Image
As of February 2023, more than 35 studies on the topic of zinc and COVID-19  ( c19zinc.com )  (constantly updated) and 10 studies on quercetin and COVID-19 have been published  ( c19quercetin.com ).  Dr. Zelenko’s main hypothesis based on the data showing that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 results in significantly few hospitalizations and deaths. This treatment regimen involving zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin (published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents ) is also apparently known as, “The Zelenko Protocol.” Quercetin and Zinc The Zelenko Covid-19 Protocols was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of  Hydroxychloroquine  (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of COVID-19, or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  Quercetin is a natural antihistamine and ant

The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance was initially formed as a working group during the early COVID-19 pandemic days in response to multiple early reports of COVID patients with an inexplicably high need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and an excessive death rate.  Based on rapidly emerging clinical trials evidence, the FLCCC team has developed the   I-MASK+ protocol   ( is now divided into I-Prevent and I-Care protocols ) for prophylaxis and at home treatment of early stage COVID-19. Quercetin, zinc and a number of nutrients and drugs are part of this protocol, not only for critical care but also for prophylaxis and mild disease being treated at home.

12 Natural Treatments for COVID Long Haulers (2023)

By Dr Frank Yap, M.D. -
Image
If you’re still coping with symptoms three months or more after being infected with COVID-19, you’re considered a COVID long-hauler.  As we learn more about post-COVID syndrome, however, the  definition has been refined  to be more accurate and useful: Subacute or ongoing COVID-19 (post-acute COVID-19 syndrome): symptoms continuing beyond four weeks from acute infection, up to 12 weeks. Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): symptoms persisting beyond the four weeks after acute infection. Post-COVID-19 syndrome (long COVID, long-hauler’s syndrome): chronic ongoing COVID-19 symptoms beyond 12 weeks from acute infection. With 200-plus symptoms linked to long COVID, treatment starts by pinpointing specific medical conditions and referring patients to the right clinicians. These might be lung specialists, heart specialists or brain rehabilitation experts. Patients need a carefully designed but flexible long haul COVID treatment protocol tailored to their particular symptoms and needs.
