Make your own carrageenan spray Spray solution:

• 0.9% saline, 400ml
• iota carrageenan powder, 0.68g (I use a jewelry scale)
• xylitol, 20g (you can try adding more) Powders are poured into a saline solution at room temperature and heated in a water bath to about 50-60 °C (the solution should be hot but not bubbling); the mixture is periodically stirred. After 20-25 minutes of heating, the cloudy solution with a visible precipitate becomes transparent and slightly viscous (it is liquid, but if you shake it, you should see small, slowly floating bubbles).

The solution can be stored in a refrigerator or at room temperature. It is poured into an empty bottle from basically any nasal spray. After using it for 2 months, it is well tolerated and does not irritate nose or throat. To obtain a 0.9% solution, add 9 grams of salt to 1 liter of distilled water.

Xylitol seems to help carrageenan to inhibit the virus in cell culture: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.19.225854v1.full.pdf. That's my source. I took the recipe from page 10 - Sample 3 composition: 1.2 mg/mL iota-carrageenan (I have increased it to 1.7 mg/ml), 50 mg/mL xylitol. Take a look at Fig. 3: the placebo also suppressed the growth of the virus. The placebo contained only xylitol 50 mg/mL, no carrageenan. By the way, in commercial nasal sprays, xylitol is also used as a moisturizing additive.

I thought this was relevant to the sub, given the amazing Argentina prophylaxis study that used carrageenen and ivermectin.
