Is Nasal Irrigation More Important Than Hand-Washing?

Bound-Oxygen

This is a shortened article of Dr. Mercola, follow this link for the full article – and Then I Deon the owner of Bound-Oxygen then explains what makes our products special, so I do not claim to be objective, as I am a true believer and user of the Bound-Oxygen Product range. This is my disclaimer before we start – and I thank Dr. Mercola for this very informative article on how nasal irrigation can help COVID-19/Flu/Colds.

Dr. Mercola:

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Flushing your sinuses may be an effective way to inhibit the progression of a virus such as SARS-CoV-2 by lowering the viral load in your sinuses
  • Research has demonstrated that nasal irrigation reduces the symptoms and duration of viral illnesses such as the seasonal flu and common cold
  • Nasal irrigation and gargling with hypertonic saline has been shown to reduce the duration of the common cold by 1.9 days and reduce transmission within the household by 35% by reducing viral shedding when done within 48 hours of symptom onset
  • You may also be able to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 migrating into your lungs by gargling a saline solution or using a povidone-iodine solution such as Betadine Sore Throat Gargle
  • Nebulizing hydrogen peroxide or colloidal silver may be even more effective. A recent review found 0.5% hydrogen peroxide effectively inactivated a range of human coronaviruses, including those responsible for SARS and MERS, within one minute of exposure

By now, you probably understand the importance of hand-washing to prevent the spread of infectious illness. But did you know flushing your sinuses might be an even better way to inhibit the progression of a viral illness such as COVID-19? In an April 20, 2020, article,1 MSN’s Best Life features the recommendations of Dr. Amy Baxter, a pediatric emergency medicine physician in Atlanta, Georgia.

Nasal irrigation, she says, is a rarely discussed strategy that can help reduce the progression of illness in those who have tested positive for COVID-19 infection. In an April 2, 2020, response2 to a BMJ paper about the lack of personal protection equipment on COVID-19 frontlines, professor Robert Matthews also brought up the importance and potential usefulness of oropharyngeal washing to protect health care workers from infection. As reported by MSN Best Life:3

“Nasal irrigation, or a nasal wash, has long been considered an effective way to remove viruses or bacteria from sinus cavities. Baxter has multiple reasons for believing that this approach can be effective in preventing the spread of coronavirus from worsening in a sick patient.”

Why Nasal Irrigation?

As noted by Baxter, researchers have found that the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 tends to be heaviest in the sinuses and nasal cavity. Regularly rinsing your sinuses therefore makes sense since it would help clear out the pathogen and prevent it from gaining a strong foothold and migrating into your lungs.

The age and gender discrepancies observed in COVID-19 also supports nasal irrigation. Children are at virtually no risk from COVID-19, while death rates among the elderly are at their highest. More men than women also die from the infection.

“Children don’t develop full sinuses until teens; males have larger cavities than women, and the cavities are largest [in those] over 70 years,” Baxter notes.

Research has previously demonstrated that nasal irrigation reduces the symptoms and duration of other viral illnesses such as the seasonal flu and common cold.

In one randomized controlled trial,4 nasal irrigation and gargling with hypertonic saline were found to reduce the duration of the common cold by 1.9 days and reduce transmission within the household by 35% by reducing viral shedding when done within 48 hours of symptom onset.

While it has not yet been studied as a preventive method for COVID-19 specifically, there’s reason to suspect nasal irrigation might be helpful.

Baxter points out that COVID-19 death rates in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Laos have been surprisingly low, and nasal irrigation is common practice in those areas. According to Baxter, some 80% of the Southeast Asian population do it.

How to Irrigate Your Sinuses

Baxter suggests irrigating your sinuses any time you’ve been exposed to an infected individual or test positive for COVID-19. She recommends flushing your sinuses in the morning using a mixture of boiled lukewarm water (8 ounces) and povidone-iodine (half a teaspoon).

Povidone-iodine has been shown to effectively kill not only Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, but to also rapidly inactivate SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, H1N1 influenza virus A and rotavirus after 15 seconds of exposure.5

The mixture used in this study — 7% povidone-iodine diluted 1-to-30, which equates to a total concentration of 0.23% povidone-iodine — inactivated over 99% of the coronaviruses causing SARS and MERS.

Either a neti pot or NeilMed sinus rinse bottle can be used. The water pressure you get from a sinus rinse bottle can provide a more effective flush. If higher pressure is uncomfortable, a neti pot, which relies on gravity, may be a more comfortable choice. In the evening, Baxter recommends flushing your sinuses again with a mixture of:

  • 8 ounces of boiled lukewarm water
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon table salt

Deon Marais (Owner) Comments:

Bound Oxygen has a Nasal Spray “BO2 Sinus & Hayfever Spray” it is a 0.065% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide product, it is a very mild H2O2, and we have a vegetable stabiliser, so no toxins. When you spray this into your sinuses it kills bacteria, viruses and also neutralise any toxins (hay-fever symptoms) and so is the ideal way to do as an alternative to a Nasal Irrigation.
As our Nasal Spray is so mild, and so well stabilised, there is only a mild burning sensation, that said, if there is no bacteria/viruses/toxins in the sinuses then it will feel as though you just squirted water into the sinuses, and the more bacteria/viruses/toxins it comes in contact with, the more it will burn.
So when you spray the sinuses, and it burns, you spray more often, and when it feels like “water” you spray less often. I spray twice a day, or if I get back into my car and I was in public places – where germs are more prevalent.

Dr. Mercola:

Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide — Another Prevention Strategy

While gargling and nasal irrigation may certainly be useful, I believe nebulizing hydrogen peroxide or colloidal silver may be even more effective. Dr. Thomas Levy10 has issued guidance11 on how to use nebulized hydrogen peroxide for the prevention and treatment of viral respiratory infections, including COVID-19.

To inactivate viruses with hydrogen peroxide, all you need is a face mask that covers your mouth and nose and a nebulizer that emits a fine mist with properly diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide.

The microscopic mist, similar to smoke or vapor, can be comfortably inhaled deep into your nostrils, sinuses and lungs. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) consists of a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom, and it is the additional oxygen atom that allows it to inactivate viral pathogens.

Coronaviruses are held together by a lipid (fat) envelope. Soap, being amphipathic12 — meaning it can dissolve most molecules — dissolves this fat membrane, causing the virus to fall apart and become harmless.

Hydrogen peroxide works in a similar way. You can find more details about the mechanism of action in my previous article, “Could Hydrogen Peroxide Treat Coronavirus?”

Some of your immune cells actually produce hydrogen peroxide to destroy pathogens. By killing the infected cell, viral reproduction is stopped. So, hydrogen peroxide therapy is in essence only aiding your immune cells to perform their natural function more effectively.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a key redox signaling agent that creates oxidative eustress.13 Contrary to oxidative stress or oxidative distress, oxidative eustress denotes an oxidative challenge that has positive or beneficial effects and is essential in redox signaling.

Many studies have looked into the use of hydrogen peroxide against different pathogens. One of the most relevant is a review14 of 22 studies, published in March 2020 in the Journal of Hospital Infection. They found 0.5% hydrogen peroxide effectively inactivated a range of human coronaviruses, including those responsible for SARS and MERS, within one minute of exposure.

If you’re already presenting with a runny nose or sore throat, Levy recommends using the nebulizer for 10 to 15 minutes four times a day until your symptoms are relieved. You can also use nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and maintenance, which may be advisable during flu season, or while the COVID-19 pandemic is in full swing. According to Levy:15

“As it is a completely non-toxic therapy, nebulization can be administered as often as desired. If done on a daily basis at least once, a very positive impact on bowel and gut function will often be realized as killing the chronic pathogen colonization present in most noses and throats stops the 24/7 swallowing of these pathogens and their associated toxins.

If daily prevention is not a practical option, the effectiveness of this treatment is optimized when somebody sneezes in your face or you finally get off of the plane after a trans-Atlantic flight. Don’t wait for initial symptoms. Just nebulize at your first opportunity.”

Deon Marais (Owner) Comments:

I Nebulise with the Sinus Product a 0.065% Hydrogen Peroxide if I nebulize for 30 minutes or longer and I nebulize with our 1% Sore Throat product when I nebulize for 5 – 10 minutes.
I think nebulizing Hydrogen Peroxide is the future of being safe, so if you do not have a nebulizer you should really consider getting one, for the home and for the office.
For best protection and prevention I do all three, so I spray the sinuses and spray my mouth with the Sore Throat 1%. This I carry with me and so use it constantly, then I nebulize when I get home.

Could Mouthwash/Nebulize – Hydrogen Peroxide – Be an Ally in Fighting COVID-19?

Bound-Oxygen

This is a shortened article of Dr. Mercola, follow this link for the full article – and Then I Deon the owner of Bound-Oxygen then explains what makes our products special, so I do not claim to be objective, as I am a true believer and user of the Bound-Oxygen Product range. This is my disclaimer before we start – and I thank Dr. Mercola for this very informative article on how mouthwash can help COVID-19.

Dr. Mercola:

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Research shows many dental mouthwashes destroy the lipid layer of coronaviruses and reduce the replication of the virus in the throat and salivary glands, making mouthwash a potentially useful prophylactic against COVID-19
  • Mouthwashes that include ethanol, chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine are especially effective and may even work against any new coronavirus strains that emerge

Dr. Mercola:

New research1,2,3 shows many dental mouthwashes destroy the lipid layer of coronaviruses and reduces the replication of the virus in the throat and salivary glands, making mouthwash a potentially useful prophylactic against COVID-19.

“Emerging studies increasingly demonstrate the importance of the throat and salivary glands as sites of virus replication and transmission in early COVID-19 disease. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus, characterized by an outer lipid membrane derived from the host cell from which it buds.”

Mouthwashes that include ethanol, chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine are especially effective and may even work against any new coronavirus strains that emerge, as the virus’ lipid envelope remains unchanged even when it mutates into new strains.

Previous research5 has also pointed out that certain mouthwashes, particularly povidone-iodine containing ones, may help minimize the risk of viral infections and upper respiratory tract infections. Listerine and 3% hydrogen peroxide have also been shown to eliminate bacteria from toothbrushes with 100% efficacy.6

Deon Marais (Owner) Comments:

Bound-Oxygen currently sells a “Sore Throat and Cough Spray” 1% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (Stabilised) with a non-toxic vegetable stabilizer. We have found that this is the ideal strength for your mouth and throat, as it is not too strong and not too weak. It works especially well when used for prevention, and at the very first onset of a sore throat, scratchy throat, beginning of tonsillitis. You spray one or two sprays into your mouth, hold it in the mouth mixing it with some saliva and then swallow one to three minutes later.

 

The strength that is normally suggested works in our experience with Bound-Oxygen Products slightly different than normal Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) as we normally get the same results with a milder solution. The reason for this is that because of our very efficient vegetable stabilizer, our Bound-Oxygen Products does not have a chain reaction in which the Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) impact on each other once it comes into contact with dirt/bacteria/viruses, and so it lasts much longer and so then if you can increase the contact time, then a lower (safer) dose is normally the better option.

Dr. Mercola:

Hydrogen Peroxide Has Multiple Uses

Unfortunately, extended lockdowns have prevented many from seeing their dentist for regular cleanings and other dental work. Social distancing rules and depression may also have contributed to relaxed dental hygiene among many. This is a grave mistake, as your oral health plays an important part in your overall health.
While mouthwash may lower your risk of COVID-19 infection, their “scorched earth” impact can also create an imbalance in your oral microbiome. Twice-daily use of mouthwash has also been linked to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, so, it may be a good idea to weigh the pros and cons of this strategy.
In “For Optimal Health, Mind Your Oral Microbiome,” Dr. Gerry Curatola discusses the drawbacks of mouthwash and fluoride and the importance of maintaining a healthy oral microbiome. That said, hydrogen peroxide may indeed be an excellent prophylactic and remedy against COVID-19 and other viral illnesses, not just as a mouthwash but also as a nebulized treatment.

Deon Marais (Owner) Comments:

Bound-Oxygen “Sore Throat and Cough Spray” should also work very well for disinfecting your mouth before you stop Social Distancing, we all need to do it, but this is an easy precaution you can do that will make you much safer.

So before getting into meetings/situations where either you or the person that you are meeting will be vulnerable to infections. Examples would be Dentists, Doctors, Hairdressers, etc. But can also be used before kissing, etc.

Bound-Oxygen “Sore Throat and Cough Spray” can also e used to clean your Face Mask or Face Shield, on the outside – the side facing the viruses – just spray it on before you touch it, then wait for it to dry, you want it to stay damp for about one minute or longer.

What to do when someone sneezed or coughed directly on you?

Immediately spray the Bound-Oxygen Throat Spray in your mouth, hold it, mixing it with saliva and swallow two or three minutes later. If you don’t have our product then use other Mouthwash products, as they should also have a chance of helping. And secondly use the Bound-Oxygen Sinus and Hayfever Spray and thirdly use the Throat Spray as a liquid in a nebulizer (Article Below).

Could Nebulizing – Hydrogen Peroxide – Be an Ally in Fighting COVID-19?

Dr. Mercola:

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Nebulized hydrogen peroxide may also help prevent and treat early signs of COVID-19 and other viral infections

How Hydrogen Peroxide Works

Against Viruses

To inactivate viruses with hydrogen peroxide, all you need is a nebulizer with a face mask that covers your mouth and nose that emits a fine mist, and food grade hydrogen peroxide that is diluted to 1% or less if you have any irritation. The microscopic mist, similar to smoke or vapor, can be comfortably inhaled deep into your nostrils, sinuses and lungs.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) consists of a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom, and it is the additional oxygen atom that allows it to inactivate viral pathogens. Viruses are not “alive” per se. They need a live host in which they can infect live cells that then replicate the viral DNA and RNA. Once a cell is infected, newly replicated viruses exit the cell and move on to the next cell to duplicate the process.

So, when we talk about “killing” a virus, we’re really talking about inactivating it by breaking down its structure. This is how mouthwash can inactivate viruses, and why soap works so well. Coronaviruses are held together by a lipid (fatty) coating. Soap, being amphipathic10 — meaning it can dissolve most molecules — dissolves this fat membrane, causing the virus to fall apart and become harmless.

Hydrogen peroxide works in a similar way. Some of your immune cells actually produce hydrogen peroxide to destroy pathogens. By killing the infected cell, viral reproduction is stopped. So, hydrogen peroxide therapy is in essence only aiding your immune cells to perform their natural function more effectively.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a key redox signaling agent that creates oxidative eustress.11 Contrary to oxidative stress or oxidative distress, oxidative eustress denotes an oxidative challenge that has positive or beneficial effects and is essential in redox signaling.

If you’re already presenting with runny nose or sore throat, Levy recommends using the nebulizer for 10 to 15 minutes four times a day until your symptoms are relieved. You can also use nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and maintenance, which may be advisable during flu season, or while the COVID-19 pandemic is in full swing. Levy notes:12

Deon Marais (Owner) Comments:

Combining the use of Bound-Oxygen Sore Throat and Cough Spray with using a nebulizer is a very convenient alternative as it is very easy to carry the 10ml bottles with you, then use it immediately if you feel your health has been compromised (sneezed or coughed on). Fast action is the key as it is much easier to kill a few bacteria/viruses than after its been multiplying.

The Bound-Oxygen “Sore Throat and Cough Spray” works well in the nebulizer, that is for up to 30min at a time. If you want to go longer, then I suggest you mix in a little water (Reverse Osmosis – water as in bottled water) half/half for a 0.5% this works very well.

Dr. Mercola:

“As it is a completely non-toxic therapy, nebulization can be administered as often as desired. If done on a daily basis at least once, a very positive impact on bowel and gut function will often be realized as killing the chronic pathogen colonization present in most noses and throats stops the 24/7 swallowing of these pathogens and their associated toxins.

May Helps with Stopping to Smoke

My theory is the reason it is so difficult to stop smoking/vaping is the sugar content of cigarettes. This then feeds the fungi’s in your lungs, when these fungi’s get hungry they tell you to smoke (this is the short explanation – read more here). This is why vaping with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is so helpful as it kills the fungi in the lungs, so when you feel the craving to smoke, nebulize a 1% Bound-Oxygen “Sore Throat and Cough Spray” instead. This makes stopping smoking much easier, or it at least made it much easier for me.

May helps to bring up the Oxygen Levels in your Blood (%SpO2)

With COVID-19 one of the scary things that can happen is the virus can go into your lungs, this will have the result that the Oxygen (%SpO2) goes down to dangerous low levels that can be catastrophic!

Your reading with the Pulse Oximeter (Costs about R500 – R1200) should be 94 or above. If your levels are below 90 it is reason to seek medical help. My suggestion is that every household should have one of these meters available at all times as it just might save you from calamity. Early warning!

When I start my nebulize session my %SpO2 percentage oxygen in my blood rise quickly – within about 2 minutes – to 98/99 then it stays at this level for about an hour after the end of a 20 minute nebulizer session.

So if you have a nebulizer please test this for yourself, and comment so as to share it with more people.

In times to come I think using a nebuliser will become a comman practise, the following is my suggestions:

  • When arriving at the Doctor/Dentist – wile waiting – or having to arrive 15 minutes earlier, so that the client can lebulize first.

  • Before leaving the house in the morning and again when arriving back, so keep everyone safe in the household including yourself.

  • When arriving at the office/work, and before going into meetings, remember if you have done it before in the same day even 5 minutes will help.

So my recommendation will be to go buy a Nebulizer, every household and business should have at least one. You also get portable Nebulizers and so they can be taken with you wherever you go. Most bigger Pharmacies stock them and they cost between R600 – R3000. I just use one of the cheap ones and it works very well.

A Nebulizer also just use tiny amounts of Hydrogen Peroxide 1% so 10ml will last for hours, so very economical.

What to do when someone sneezed or coughed directly on you?

Immediately spray the Bound-Oxygen Throat Spray in your mouth, hold it, mixing it with saliva and swallow two or three minutes later. If you don’t have our product then use other Mouthwash products, as they should also have a chance of helping. And secondly use the Bound-Oxygen Sinus and Hayfever Spray and thirdly use the Throat Spray as a liquid in a nebulizer (Article Below).

Coronavirus, hand sanitizer, oxygen treatment

Why You Should be careful of Alcohol Hand Sanitizer

Bound-Oxygen

There are many times you should use hand sanitizer, such as before and after touching a surface other people have touched. It’s good to wipe down the handle of a shopping cart before you use it. It’s also wise to use sanitizer after you’ve pushed a cart around the store, after filling your vehicle with fuel, after handling money, and after touching elevator buttons or door handles. Always wash your hands (with either soap and water or hand sanitizer) after each time you cough and sneeze.

Since COVID-19 has started most people rarely leave their houses without their bottles of alcohol hand sanitizer —and it’s easy to see why: Virtually everything we touch on a daily basis is teeming with bacteria. And now the added risk of the Coronavirus! In fact, one study published in the journal Germs assessed 27 cell phones and found a median of 17,000 bacterial gene copies per phone. And while alcohol hand sanitizer may seem like an effective on-the-go solution for ridding yourself of germs, using it too frequently can do more harm than good. Actually, it’s because hand sanitizer is so effective at killing bacteria and viruses that it’s not ideal for everyday use.

If you’re using very high concentrations of alcohol, it can cause dryness and cracks in the skin. Not only does it not feel good when the alcohol hits the skin, but then the skin won’t heal as well. That’s why it’s especially important not to use alcohol-based sanitizers on injured skin or your face.

So what about hand sanitizers that count ethyl alcohol, as their active ingredient (which is most hand sanitizers)? While these are the most potent sanitizers on the market and are recommended by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, alcohol-based hand sanitizers have some serious downsides as well.

Repeated use of hand sanitizer, can cause chronic irritation, skin breakdown, and damage.

Additionally, alcohol’s ability to kill off beneficial bacteria on the skin’s surface as a potential source of harm. If you’re beating down a natural defense the body has, you could be causing some chronic risk over time.

Also, you can get the Norovirus very easily and it is a very contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. Anyone can get infected and sick with norovirus. You can get norovirus from having direct contact with an infected person. Consuming contaminated food or water.

That’s not the only problem with overusing, the topical application of ethyl alcohol can lower the skin barrier function and render the membrane more permeable to harmful chemicals like nitrosamines from cosmetics.

Though there are numerous downsides to using alcohol-based sanitizers, none of this is to say that you can’t use these products every once in a while. Yes, washing your hands with soap and water removes debris that hand sanitizer leaves behind (including allergens like peanut proteins) with the fewest side effects. Important to do before lighting a cigarette etc. But if you’re in a pinch and need to get rid of germs ASAP, then it’s OK to use an emergency bottle of alcohol hand sanitizer.

But be careful as the other problem with strong alcohol is that it is very flammable, so don’t light cigarettes or fires, etc. as if your hands catch fire its not a pleasant experience.

Sanitizer capable of killing the broadest range of pathogens contains 60 to 85 percent ethanol or 60 to 80 percent isopropanol or n-propanol.

Store hand sanitizer out of the reach of pets and children, and children should use it only with adult supervision.

Do not drink alcohol hand sanitizer. This is particularly important for young children, especially toddlers, who may be attracted by the pleasant smell or brightly colored bottles of hand sanitizer. Drinking even a small amount of hand sanitizer can cause alcohol poisoning in children. (However, there is no need to be concerned if your children eat with or lick their hands after using hand sanitizer.)

During this coronavirus pandemic, poison control centers have had an increase in calls about accidental ingestion of hand sanitizer, so it is important that adults monitor young children’s use.

Do not allow pets to swallow hand sanitizer. If you think your pet has eaten something potentially dangerous, call your veterinarian or a pet poison control center right away.

However, if you want to avoid the skin-damaging effects of alcohol-based sanitizers, you can always use a product that does not use alcohol as the active ingredient, like Bound-Oxygen’s 2% Hydrogen Peroxide Hand Sanitizer.

Be forewarned, though: While alcohol-free hand sanitizers are largely effective, they are slightly less potent than their alcohol-based counterparts. But much safer especially for children to take with to school etc.

But if you want to keep your skin healthy, and soft then this is definitely the better option. And also if you are a smoker or work in an environment that has flames or sparks – then it is probably better not to risk it.

What are the fire hazards relating to alcohol-based hand rub?

All alcohol-based products are potentially flammable and therefore they should be stored away from high temperatures and flames. The WHO suggests that all health-care organizations currently using alcohol-based hand rub should undertake local risk assessments.

Allow the hand rub to dry: Staff should be advised to let their hands dry and the vapors disperse after using alcohol hand rub, which minimizes these risks. The How to Handrub posters state clearly: “once dry, your hands are safe”

  • The flash points of ethanol 80% (v/v) and isopropyl alcohol 75% (v/v) are 17.5°C and 19°C, respectively.
  • Care should be taken when carrying personal containers/dispensers to avoid spillage onto clothing, bedding, or curtains, and in pockets, bags or vehicles.
  • Containers/dispensers should be stored in a cool place, and care should be taken regarding the securing of tops / lids.
  • The quantity of handrub kept in a ward or department should be as small as is reasonably practicable for day-to-day purposes.
  • A designated ‘Highly Flammables’ store will be required for situations where it is necessary to store more than 50 L (e.g. central bulk storage).
  • Containers and dispenser cartridges containing handrub should be stored in a cool place away from sources of ignition. This also applies to used containers that have not been rinsed with water.

Where should alcohol-based handrub dispensers be located?

Handrub dispensers should not be placed above or close to potential sources of ignition, such as light switches and electrical outlets, or next to oxygen or other medical gas outlets, due to the increased risk of vapors igniting.

N.B. Fighting a large (i.e. bulk storage) alcohol fire using water or aqueous (water) film-forming foam (AFFF) extinguishers may be ineffective and may spread the fire over a larger area rather than put it out.

Disinfecting COVID-19 face Masks

Bound-Oxygen


A growing number of people are now recommending that people wear face coverings or masks when going out and doing essential tasks such as grocery shopping and going to medical appointments. And did you know that you can improve on there effectiveness of these masks? And keep then clean and germ-free for longer?
But how do you keep your coverings clean?
The Department of Public Health recommends frequently washing cloth face masks – ideally after each use, but at least every day. Wash with detergent and hot water and dry on a hot cycle (or at least washed with hot, soapy water).
Ideally use a Hydrogen Peroxide Hand Sanitizer to constantly keep it clean and virus free. Did you know that a 0.5% Hydrogen Peroxide Kills the Coronavirus with a 60 seconds contact time?
You spray it on both the inside and the outside of the face-mask! It will kill all the pathogens on the face mask, as well as kill any that comes in contact with it later (as long as the mask is moist). So always spray on your face mask before touching it, or adjusting it.
Experts say masks alone are not particularly effective in preventing infection. That is why its best to combine it with a Sanitiser Spray, to keep them clean longer. They don’t cover the eyes, for instance, and a bit of coughed saliva that sprays into the eye can cause an infection. This will cause an infection in your sinuses, luckily you can use a Hydrogen Peroxide Sinus spray to keep the sinuses clean and healthy. The best is to use it to prevent sinus problems, then your sinuses stay clean all the time and bacteria and viruses can not get a hold in them.

Coronavirus, oxygen treatment, Sinus, throat

Trying to stop the Coronavirus? Stop the Sore Throat – Most important of all

Bound-Oxygen

Do not get infected with the Coronavirus:

Bound-Oxygen has a two-part hypothesis on what we can do for the Coronavirus:

Part One: Hydrogen Peroxide kills the Coronavirus on surfaces (on contact), so then hydrogen peroxide will also kill the Coronavirus inside the throat and the sinuses. And any other places in the body. As long as you can get the Hydrogen Peroxide onto the virus (as they neutralize each other).

Part two: After Hydrogen Peroxide application the Coronavirus will be less contagious. (If there are fewer live viruses, there are less to share.)

Most important of all is to keep it out of the lungs. You can have other symptoms and have the Coronavirus, but it’s only the lungs that are deadly.

To keep it out of the lungs successfully you have to keep it out of:

– Throat and mouth

– Sinuses and Eyes

– Ears

Bound-Oxygen has no proof yet – we hope this will change soon.

This should not be difficult to prove as simple before and after test on surfaces, sowing the difference should suffice. Testing the number of viruses if sneezed on a paper held in front of the mouth, and then the same test after the Sinus and Throat spray was used.

But we will need more funding and we can only start planning for this after the shut-down is over. But it’s a rational conclusion that if there are fewer viruses in the mouth, throat, and sinuses that there will be fewer viruses spread with breathing, coughing, and sneezing. So less contagious, and so maybe the lock-down will be able to be sorter or not necessary at all.

The good news is that we at Bound-Oxygen believes that our products should be able to both kill and prevent the Coronavirus from all of these places in the body that is easily reachable, so the sinuses and throat, that is if our hypothesis is correct.

We would love to hear your view if you agree that this can work. And if it has worked for you. Please leave a comment.

But it is important that you act fast (Immediately) when the first sins of illness present itself, do not let it get a hold on the throat or sinuses! Dose, dose, dose, as you can not overdose!

Incubation periods

The mouth and throat will be the fastest incubation period. The throat is the final frontier – do not let it get a hold on the throat! So kill the Virus/Cold/Flu at the first sign of a sore throat, but preferably prevent the throat from getting sore, by spraying every day to help protect the throat.

(When you spray our Throat Spray in the mouth and there was a mild burning sensation it means there was bacteria/viruses that it neutralised, and so if this happens spray more often. If you spray to prevent a sore throat and there is no reaction, it meens all is well!)

The sinuses and eyes will be the second-fastest incubation period in getting sick after being infected. You will probably lose your sense of smell and taste. The virus will drip into the throat, (postnasal drip) and so it’s only then that the big problems will start, as the constant drip into the throat will reinfect the throat on a constant basis. If it comes through the eyes, it will also infect the sinuses, as they are connected.

(When you spraid our Sinus Spray in your nostrils and there was a mild burning sensation it means there was bacteria/viruses that it neutralised, and so if this happens spray more often. If you spray to prevent a sore throat and there is no reaction, it meens all is well!)

The longest incubation period will be through the ears. But when it starts dripping into the throat, then there will be big trouble, as the constant drip into the throat will reinfect the throat on a constant basis, it is also more difficult to stop the infection in the ears as there is no blood.

The answer to both the sinus, throat and ears is the mild Hydrogen Peroxide products from Bound-Oxygen.

We know the Coronavirus gets killed by a 0.5% or stronger Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) with a contact time of 60 seconds on surfaces. Look for Hydrogen Peroxide in the article below. This article lists all the options that can be used on surfaces.

Kampf G, Todt D, Pfaender S, Steinmann E. Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents. J Hosp Infect. 2020;104(3):246–251. doi:10.1016/j.jhin.2020.01.022 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32035997/

We also know that weaker solutions of Hydrogen Peroxide will kill viruses with longer contact times, or with intermittent contact that makes up a longer contact time.

The problem is how to administer Hydrogen Peroxide inside the body safely? As both free radicals can do lots of harm and if the Hydrogen Peroxide is administered too strongly, this can do damage as it has a strong burning action, from there the bubbles, when it’s mild there are no bubbles.

So the best option is, slow, steady and a mild solution of Hydrogen Peroxide. So each time you kill some viruses, probably wounding others, and the rest will have to be killed with the next applications, repeating until all is clean. Winning slowly and safely.

We suggest spraying the sinus every hour – this is 0.065% Hydrogen Peroxide. Your sinuses can not handle strong solutions. So spraying continuously to help make up for the weakness of the liquad is advisable.

Spray the Throat spray hourly into the mouth and the ears – this is a 1% as your mouth can handle a bit stronger Hydrogen Peroxide as it also mixes with the saliva that will make it less strong, then swallow.

Spray 1 spray for every 30kg of weight. Ideally, hold in mouth mixing it with your saliva mowing it around in your mouth for a few minutes then swallow.

This will both clean your mouth and your throat. This is important as you swallow and cough whatever is in the mouth will move to the throat and then from throat to mouth and vice versa.

Keeping the ears clean is just making extra sure as its also connected to the throat. You do this by spraying the Sinus Spray first in the one ear while lying on your side filling the ear with liquid for 5 to 10 minutes, then letting it drain. Then repeating it for the other ear,

So the oxidation has a mild burning sensation, some of the viruses will be killed and some will be injured, its these injured viruses that can now easily be killed by the body’s defenses.

So we suggest that we do this cycle of cleansing until all is well again.

What we know about this Coronavirus:

It’s a slow progressive virus. It’s not normally fast:

Stage1:

Getting infected is very easy

Stage2:

Showing the first signs can take up to 3 weeks. Depending on where is infected first. Mouth, sinuses or ears.

Stage3:

Sore throat/fever – 2/3 weeks

Stage4;

Hospitalization- complications lugs 2/3 weeks

Stage5: Death from 6 weeks to 12 weeks/complications with lugs not absorbing oxygen.

 

So we want to prevent getting sick – so take the first signs of getting a cold or flu, sore throat and sinus very seriously.

Don’t wait. Start treating it immediately with Bound-Oxygen!

Most people report that when they wake up with a sore throat and spray our “BO2 Sore Throat” product immediately report that the sore throat is gone by the time they wake up in the morning!

So the best natural product that has been proved to kill this virus on surfaces is Hydrogen Peroxide. And the best Hydrogen Peroxide products are the Bound Oxygen products. 

Hydrogen Peroxide is a very effective way of delivering oxygen, but. It must be done in mild solutions for it to be safe and effective.

All of the above are the views of Bound-Oxygen and we would love to prove this, so if you are interested in helping us getting this proof please let us know. Have a look at the website for more information and our full disclosure. https://bound-oxygen.com

Absorbing Oxygen

Bound-Oxygen

Absorbing Oxygen into the blood is most important of all. As our blood is our life! The better our blood is the better our health is.

But up till recently adding extra oxygen into the blood has not been an easy thing to do. And hence nobody is doing it. And nobody is really thinking of ways to doing it.

Now with the Bound-Oxygen product range it is suddenly easy, so if you ever thought it would be desirable to have extra oxygen in your blood, then pay attention to this fantastic products.

The Skin Spray, has a strength of 0.65% and it sorts out all skin problems, but it is also absorbed into the skin, especially when you spray on the same skin over and over contiuesly. The top of the feet works very well.

Secondly the Sore Throat Spray 3% when sprayed into the mouth (while breathing in) also absorbed very effectively into the blood.

The throat’s skin absorbed much faster than the outside skin.

If you own an oxygen meter, that mesures the persentage Oxygen in the blood, you will be able to see the oxygen levels rise with continual use.

All desease starts in the Gut, but when the desease has started then it is in the blood.

So sorting out the blood is most important of all!

Stop the fungi and stop smoking easily

Bound-Oxygen

550px-nowatermark-Fix-a-Broken-Cigarette-Step-1-Version-4

Do you know why it’s so difficult to stop? It is not the nicotine, it’s not the hand movement, it all starts with the sugar!

Yes, there is lots of sugar in cigarettes, the tar is burnt sugar.

But you may ask why is sugar so detrimental in cigarettes? Because it feeds the fungi, and so now fungi can survive in your lungs.

Did you know that fungi communicate with its host? Yes, on the same communication line as habits remind you what to do – so once they invade you they do not hide, they start ordering the food they like, and you become their slave. The next time you crave that cigarette, ask yourself who has ordered them, you or your fungi slave master?

The fungi communicate in machine language – so to say – but over time it gets easier for oneself to know (suspect) when they have been doing the ordering.

The good news is that these Invaders are alive and need food and water to stay alive. You can starve them into submission. But easier still, start using Bound-Oxygen Skin Spray on your face and on your feet, this helps to kill the fungi, and this makes the urge to smoke much less.

The fungi also change the environment to better suit them, so less oxygen, and if they can do this in your brain it has the added advantage that you are more gullible! And easier to control.

The best is to start Nebulize the Bound-Oxygen 1% Sore Throat and Cough Spray every time you get the urge to smoke, so killing the fungi istead of feeding them!

The reason it’s so difficult to stop smoking is that the fungi do not want you to stop. They keep ordering cigarettes long after the nicotine has been forgotten. And even one cigarette will give them hope, then more will be shouting with new energy – as they got fed.

Stop feeding the fungi! Evict them! And stop smoking with ease.

Is doping unfair in life and health?

Bound-Oxygen

pexels-photo-1030794.jpeg

Doping is unfair in sports because not everyone has access to it, but don’t we all want that unfair advantage, a way of getting the same as what others are getting but without the hard work and the hard training! So, in sports, we can understand the problem, but in life and health?

Should the rules still be the same? Even when it could mean the difference between life and death?

Is the goal of the economy not to be more productive and effective, without the hard work? And so, you will have more endurance, more energy, better health etc. and you will have it because you are “doping” your blood with extra oxygen. (In sports you will get banned) Is this something you should stay away from or is it something you should grab with both hands? That is – if you can afford it?

You now have the choice, it is an all-natural product – and you absorb the oxygen through your feet – so what are your thoughts please tell us what you think.

Different ways to increase oxygen in your blood

Bound-Oxygen

pexels-photo-220723.jpeg

In case the blood oxygen levels are too low, the condition is known as Hypoxia. (If the level is as low as 90%) Sometimes, the levels can go as low as 80%, resulting in severe hypoxia, which can be life-threatening.

There can be various reasons for low oxygen levels in the blood which include:

  • breathing in high altitudes
  • chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (which is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States of America)
  • sleep apnoea
  • pneumonia, and so on

Medical treatment depends upon the cause of low oxygen levels in the blood.

There are ways of increasing oxygen in the blood through some lifestyle changes.

Blood doping for the man on the street

Bound-Oxygen

Dr Otto Weinburg

In 1931 Dr. Warburg won his first Nobel Prize for proving cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen respiration in cells. He stated in an article titled The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer that “the cause of¬†cancer is no longer a mystery, we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements.”

“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation.

All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes.”

Poor oxygenation comes from a build-up of carcinogens and other toxins within and around cells, which blocks and then damages the cellular oxygen respiration mechanism.

Clumping up of red blood cells slows down the bloodstream and restricts flow into capillaries. This also causes poor oxygenation. Even lack of the proper building blocks for cell walls, Omega 3 essential fatty acids, restricts oxygen exchange.

The key is to get more oxygen into the bloodstream but, this is not easy. Most approaches don’t work well. Breathing oxygen is still limited by the amount of haemoglobin available, and by pH levels.

There is one way to significantly increase oxygen levels in your bloodstream so that you can improve health in general. The most effective way is to take an oxygen supplement that is absorbed through your feet “Blood oxygenation enhancement” (athletes have been using this for years – although its banned), now the general public can also buy this product by “Bound-Oxygen” – but you are not allowed to compete in athletics while using it though – be warned!

Then you must enhance circulation so that more oxygen and vital nutrients are transported to your cells. So, by increasing oxygen in your bloodstream, and its utilization, you will go a long way towards improving your health.

ATHLETES-FOOT

Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis or ringworm of the feet, is a common fungal infection caused by Trichophyton fungus, which results in redness, itching, cracking, flaking, dry skin, discoloration of toenails, peeling, scaling and a burning sensation on the soles and between the toes. It can also affect the scalp which leads to hair loss, scaly patches, and jock itch.

Excessive sweating, a weakened immune system, minor injuries to the nails or skin, wearing closed shoes and keeping your feet wet will increase the risk of getting athlete’s foot. It can spread through direct contact with contaminated surfaces or from one part of the body to other parts.

It usually affects men as they regularly wear heavy, airtight shoes, the perfect condition for the fungus to live and grow.

Bound-Oxygen “Oxygen Foot Detox” is used to treat and prevent the infection in wounds. It treats your athlete’s foot effectively because it kills the fungus that causes it.

Who gets athlete’s foot and how do you get it?

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection of the skin on the feet. It is very common — up to one in four people have athlete’s foot. Fungal germs (fungi) often occur in small numbers on the human skin where they usually do no harm. However, if conditions are right they can invade the skin, multiply, and cause infection. The conditions fungi like best are warm, moist and airless areas of skin, such as between the toes.

Anyone can get athlete’s foot. It is more common in people who sweat more, or who wear shoes and socks which make their feet more sweaty. Athlete’s foot can also be passed on from person to person. For example, this may occur in communal showers used by athletes or swimmers. A tiny flake of infected skin from a person with athlete’s foot can fall off whilst showering. It may then be trodden on by others who may then develop the infection. Once a small patch of infection develops, it typically spreads on the skin.

What are the symptoms of athlete’s foot?

The skin between the little toes tends to be affected first. A rash develops which then becomes itchy and scaly. The skin may become cracked and sore. Large splits (fissures) in the skin between the toes can develop, which can be very painful. Tiny flakes of infected skin may fall off. The rash may spread gradually along the toes if left untreated. In some cases, it spreads to the soles. Occasionally, the infection causes a scaling rash on the entire sole and side of the foot. In other cases, it causes more of a blistering rash on part of the sole of the foot.
