Sanotize....Covid Nasal spray

[indaswamp]

Reduces virus in airways 95%+ in 24 hours......

It is a nitric oxide spray. I wonder what the concentration is, and if it would be possible to mix some up at home using cure #1? Guess it depends on the concentrations......Thoughts??? chef jimmyj ???

Be careful with this. The wife lost her sense of smell years ago using a popular cold treatment (nasal) spray.
Went through a lot of medical stuff, long story short she got her sense of smell back YEARS later.

The takeaway is that it DOES NOT cure covid but can reduce the chance of developing a full blown case IF you inhaled some of the virus by killing the spores before they spread and breed.
Which to me means, since there is no way to know if one just got exposed, is that it needs to be inhaled every time you take a breath around or in an area where you might get exposed.

I would not be mixing up my own things to spray into my nose. That's a recipe for disaster in my opinion.

I also don't think I'd touch this product with a 10 foot pole right now.

Have to agree I don't think I would try to make my own, I know you southern boys are tough but we like having you around.

It's a complicated chemistry experiment you're proposing.

You'd have to
1 - separate the NaNO2 from NaCl
2- reduce the NaNO2 to NO
3- capture the NO (it's a gas) and dissolve it in a carrier liquid (water?)

Probobly easier to buy some Nitric Oxide muscle builder supplements, open the capsules, and snort them. Pease don't do that either.

Or how about this for a stupid idea:
8 HNO3 + 3 Cu → 3 Cu(NO3)2 + 4 H2O + 2 NO
Chemisty to English translation:
Toss some copper into a bucket of nitric acid and breath the fumes.

something like makes sense to me if just leaving crowded venue or such. i dont think i would be modifying it though.

That happened to a close friend of mine, I believe what he took was Zicam. I stay away from all that crap. RAY

Just another company offering a gimmick to make money on the pandemic.

I can keep you from getting the S#!TS from Chicken but that stuff is above my pay grade...JJ

No, this does not seem to be a gimmick.
You can read a research paper here:

Clinical efficacy of nitric oxide nasal spray (NONS) for the treatment of mild COVID-19 infection

Baek et al. investigated the duration of COVID-19 virus shedding in infected patients and demonstrated that even in patients demonstrating prolonged viral clearance, the virus was no longer viable after 15 days post onset of symptoms. Our study ...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

The results are pretty exciting so far.

There are ongoing clinical trials in the US, Canada, and Israel.

Even if it only works soon after symptoms begin (like tamiflu) - you'll get less sick.
Or even if it only decrease how much virus you shed - you'll infect fewer people, and get better sooner.

This stuff would also be super cheap and easy to manufacture, even in poor countries.

NO is not a synthetic steroid or dangerous chemical. It's made by plants, and in our bodies, it's in the air (though too much causes acid rain).
I'm sure some adverse reactions will be reported, but compared even to Tylenol, it should be quite safe.

I think this is that rare occasion where I pull out my professional chemist card and say "don't try this at home..."
I mean, it would be waaayyy easier to just get a tank of NOS at the racing store... - no, don't do that either.

 

[indaswamp]

Well, I do know that a 0.5% solution of povidone Iodine as a nasal rinse and mouth gargle is very effective at reducing Covid virus load in the airway.

I would just get a shot of regeneron; cured Trump in two days.

This seems pretty sketchy to me. If you look at the actual study that was published, they tested the nasal spray as a treatment for people who were already infected and had symptoms. The results showed a reduction in viral load in the nasal passages of the infected people and a reduction in the length of time of feeling sick. However, the size of the study is super small at 80 people. That's tiny, and while it may look promising, that's a long, long way from proven safe and effective. For context, the mRNA vaccines were tested on over 30000 people during phase 3 trials.

There is a big red flag, though: they didn't test it in any way as preventative measure, but that's what they appear to be marketing it for, and appear to be already setting distribution in Asia, well before any FDA approval. This is often the strategy of medical scammers that know they'll never get approval and won't ever be available in the American markets. Not saying that's the case here, but it makes me wary.

In my (non-expert) opinion, it seems that the best use of it would be to help reduce how contagious people are after they get sick, but I'd still need to see FDA approval (or at least emergency use authorization) before I'd use it. I certainly wouldn't try to make some at home.

There definitely appears to be way more than a scam going on with this. Read through their news page. Seems like serious potential to me. Hopefully the bigger pharma giants don’t squash this before it’s proven out. https://sanotize.com/press-releases/

I dont think Racing NOS is meant for Human consumption, but you can get all the food safe WHIPETTES you want at Restaurant and Baking Supply Stores! Head Shops still sell the dispensers to fill Balloons. Damn, that's some late 70's memories....JJ

Lol, true, the racing stuff has a bit of sulfur dioxide added to taint it to prevent abuse. Hey at least you have those memories still!

I've spent years in the Pharmacy industry and agree it appears a legit study. I would guess they already had a semi viable product for other inductions (fungus, etc.) that had already passed initial safety studies and decided to test against covid -not on a whim really- but more "hey, there's a resonable chance this could work" based on limited data rather than a built from the ground program to target covid.
