  • Publication number: 20230070870
    Abstract: Direct instillation of a Chlorinated Solution into the Nasal passages to inactivate Covid 19 by way of Nasal spray of a Sodium Hypochlorite solution. For topical elimination of Covid 19, Solutions of 5-12.5 Parts Per Million; 5-12.5 mg. per Liter; 5-12.5% Solutions; are generally effective and considered safe by the EPA and FDA for indirect human consumption. While stronger solutions are recognized for eradication of the Coronavirus on inorganic impervious surfaces, these more dilute solutions have not previously been used for this application to the Nasal Mucosa and Nasopharynx of Humans. This new and revolutionary Process for use of Sodium Hypochlorite offers an alternative therapeutic and prophylactic modality in the war against Coronavirus (Covid-19). Sodium Hypochlorite is well known for disinfecting hard surfaces and its antimicrobial effects in higher concentrations.
