I did just buy a bunch of homeopathic remedies (at the suggestion of a reader) and my nebulizer is on its way. I'm getting lots of confusing/conflicting info on the web about what to put in it (of course I don't have "food grade" hydrogen peroxide; didn't even realize that was a thing). Can I do it with just distilled water and a drop of iodine? Or is that a "why bother?" Appreciate any guidance here...

I used a neti pot Jenna, seemed to kick butt ... I didn't (but I'd suggest you do) water down the povidone iodine that you put up your nose... I bought the Betadine throat gargle, pre mixed for throat (irony is the gargle makes your throat sore for a bit)... I neti pot squirted same concentration up my nose... Ouch... But kept at it... Others said I maybe should have watered that down further (but covid hysteria was everywhere so I thought the burn was a sign of working... Don't worry I still have my full smell range)...

Subsequently Ive taken to watering it down, for other colds, and it's been almost pleasurable by comparison (throat gargle 1/3 with distilled water 2/3)... I still gargle with the throat gargle out bottle... Note this is the throat gargle premix from the box... If you buy the concentrated Betadine (povidone iodine) you need to mix it up yourself for throat gargle (and dilute even further for nose)

Hope it goes well 🤞 ... Get better soon 😊

Oh wow! That’s a lot! I watched a mercola video that said one DROP of the iodine to a quarter cup of distilled water… But like I said, there are lots of confusing messages out there! Appreciate the advice.

I think Mercola is most likely to be right here 😊... I've used a neti pot before with hydrogen peroxide, and just added a splash... Seemed to be fine... But yes, for a nebuliser in particular (which I don't use) I'd say a drop is probably spot on, as it becomes gaseous in a nebuliser... Definitely follow Mercola on both counts I'd say 😉... But I'll say neti pot worked great for me, as much as I don't like irrigating my nose, it certainly gets rid of a cold.

Jenna, along with Ivermectin and all the other FLCCC protocol, I was lazy and purchased the CoFixRX Nasal Cleanse (it has the iodine and other things in it) that you spray up your nose, ordered directly from their website. They also have a throat gargle too. A year ago or so I ordered a gallon of povidone iodine and followed the directions to make my own. It was messy and gross. So now I have a slightly less gallon of Povidone Iodine that sits in my basement.🙄
