IVM Prophy and carrageenan

The nasal spray keeps getting discounted but this may help. Full disclosure, I use it before any exposure and use an N95 mask

pre covid dated study basis for inclusion in IVERCAR

Results: Carrageenan treated patients showed a significant reduction in duration of disease of almost 2 days (p < 0.05) as well as significantly fewer relapses during 21 days of observation period (p < 0.05). The virus clearance between visit 1 and visit 2 was significantly more pronounced in the carrageenan group (p < 0.05). In both studies, virus-confirmed common cold was caused by three main virus subtypes: human rhinovirus (46%), human coronavirus (25%) and influenza A (14%) virus. Carrageenan nasal spray showed significant antiviral efficacy in all three virus subgroups, the highest effectiveness was observed in human corona virus-infected patients. The reduced duration of disease was 3 days (p < 0.01) and the number of relapses was three times less (p < 0.01) in carrageenan treated corona-virus-infected patients compared to control patients.

I use Xlear Nasal Spray (with xylitol) after any higher risk activities i.e. shopping. WhiteBoard Doctor did a video review (see link below) of a study that compared carrageenan with Xylitol and Xylitol showed potent antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2. Xlear is available on Amazon for $10.

AFAIK the protection comes from using it before exposure.

betadine cold defense

Thanks!

Not cheap. Can you give me a guess about how many sprays you get from a 20ml bottle?

Hard to estimate. Would probably last about 10 days at 3 sprays per day. There's also https://biotheorist.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/how-to-make-and-use-an-iota-carrageenan-spray-0.12-percent.pdf but I didn't care for it.
