Abstract: Methods for curing early stages of, and preventing upper respiratory infections and applicators therefor are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention comprises using an applicator capable of generating a mist with the same predetermined effective formula concentration and average droplet size but at two flow volume levels. In accordance with the method of the invention, the flow volume is alternated between high and low flow levels as the applicator is used to treat the entire upper respiratory tract in a series of steps.

Abstract: Methods for inhibiting the development of respiratory infections in humans are disclosed.

Abstract: A method is presented for prevention of various respiratory infections which can be caused by one or more pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) including, but not limited to, those causing the various forms of upper respiratory tract infection (common cold), influenza, bronchitis, laryngitis, etc. in human being, by using a non-toxic, easily accessible to public “effective formula” to attack the newly activated or the newly invading pathogen and rendering it ineffective. If the infection has already fully taken effect, the present method helps reduce the symptoms of the infection (illness) and its duration by preventing occurrence of secondary infections. This method may also be applied to other mammals.

Abstract: A nasal dilator (10) is disclosed which is adapted to be inserted in the nostril of the human nose to prevent the tissues of the ostium internum of the nose from drawing in during breathing. The device includes generally elongated top and bottom rings (11, 12) which are spaced apart and connected together by a rear strut (13) and a front strut (14). The front strut (14) is longer than the rear strut (13) and includes a bend (15) therein formed at a position close to the front end of the bottom ring (12). One elongated side (17) of the top ring (11) may be concaved to better fit the septum at the ostium internum, and an elongated side (18) of the bottom ring (12) may also be concaved for maximum wearer comfort.
