A new study being presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting in Anaheim, Calif. determined that both a low- and high-dose saline regimen appeared to be associated with lower hospitalization rates compared to controls in SARS-CoV-2 infections. ... "The low- and high-saline solutions consisted of 2.13 grams and 6 grams of salt dissolved in 8 ounces of warm water, respectively. Gargling and nasal rinsing was done four times a day for 14 days. ... During the study period, 9,398 individuals with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection were evaluated and were the reference population. The hospitalization rates in the low- (18.5%) and high- (21.4%) saline regimens were significantly lower than in the reference population (58.8%.)

Eff1n2ret Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Nothing new about this. I remember being recommended to gargle with salt water over 60 years ago to reduce my susceptibility to nose and throat infections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 As a veteran of sinus issues and sinus rinsing long before COVID came along, one caution about this: At least when it comes to the sinus rinsing aspect of this, sinus doctors don't want people to be using regular table salt because it's iodized, meaning it has iodine added. For sinus rinsing, they want people to be using NON-iodized salt... which often can be sea salt. And also for sinus rinsing, NOT tap water or distilled water, but preferably purified or boiled and then cooled water. Or commercially sold saline solution bottled products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
