I agree with the mouthwash and Xlear. In 2022 my wife and I both flew from Wisconsin to Seattle. Both of us were using Xlear nasal spray and I was gargling with a Peroxide based mouthwash (Scope). I got a bit lax with using them but my wife was religious in using the nasal spray several times per day. Three days after we go home I tested positive for and came down with COVID. My wife did not. I took IVM and was taking zinc, Quercetin, C, D3 and K. I stepped up my mouthwash and nasal spray use and I was over COVID in 5 days. My wife continued using the Xlear and never got COVID. We use it every time we have been in a crowd of people.

Hello Chuck,

Great question, Dani, thank you. We work directly with top brands that primarily cater to practitioners. We never source products from alternative sources that cannot be properly vetted, such as many individual Amazon seller accounts or private websites. We also have the backing of a practitioner sourcing company that monitors inspection reports as well as ingredient testing results for product laboratories.

Thank you for all the concise info so we can all take better care not to get Covid or any viral infection during this "active" season.

i used HCQ, then IVM preventatively for a couple years when covid first appeared, now just use SaNOtize nasal spray when subjected to crowed areas (supermarkets, Drs office, travel, etc.) & have NEVER had covid or any other illness in last several years even while others around me have. I also exercise outdoors regularly, take vit supplements you mentioned & included melatonin at night.

Kudos, Heidi. Keep it up!

How do you vet and source your supplements? I keep reading how Amazon sells fakes but also how it’s hard to know the purity/quality of most supplements anyhow?

One of the best articles I’ve read - thank you! Xlear Nasal Spray is better for prevention than Cofix since iodine will kill good flora in the nose. Iodine is for acute infections but it is too harsh for regular, daily prevention, whereas Xlear can be used safely multiple times per day with no adverse effects.

Julie,

Thanks for sharing this insight: I was not aware.. I am going to publish an update soon, likely with the CEO of X-lear, addressing exactly that issue. Stay tuned!

Best,

Dr. Turner
