Tried several searches and can't seem to find the recent thread regarding the Dr. who recommended a Providone Iodine solution as a nasal spray to hopefully help prevent the Rona.

Anyone have a bookmark on that thread?

Thanks.

Great start!

The thread I'm speaking of referenced a Dr. who was using a mix of water/Providone Iodine solution as a preventative, and gave ratios.

From one of the articles above:

Dr. Domb says to mix half a teaspoon of the 10% Povidone Iodine solution with a 44-mL spray bottle of saline nasal spray and shake it up. :eek:

You would think that the good Dr. would want to use proper measurements. Half a teaspoon is not a very good or accurate measurement. Teaspoons vary in volume. It would be better to use the same units of measure as the saline solution, IE X ml of iodine mixed with 44 ml of saline solution. Picky, picky, but it matters.

I make coffee more accurately than the Dr makes the iodine solution. 47g of coffee to 700ml of water. I really like for things to be exact.

Sorry, I couldn't help it!! :lol:

I remember back in the day, I was told...yeah, decades ago, that "they" want to convert the US to metric...and people were like, "naaaaaaahhhhh....don't need that!"

Perhaps he was referring to measuring spoons, as used in cooking vs a silverware pattern “teaspoon”. I’ve found measuring spoons to be accurate and of like volume.

Probably, but it's still weird... mixing measurements like that. For reference, half a teaspoon is 2.5cc...

Yep. I just checked my highly polished, triple calibrated, limited edition stainless steel measuring spoons, and imprinted on one of them was "1/2 tsp, 2.5ml", so that's what I'm going to use.

Is it possible to fix the thread title so that Povidone can be successfully searched for in the future??
 
6 grams vitamin C, 5000 IU D and 50 micrograms of zinc daily and quit worrying.
I have zinc but keep forgetting to take it cause i hate swallowing pills so i subconsciously sabatage myself. I did though take one 50 zinc last wk and i slept better. Could be just a coincidence.
