I think gargling with HOCl is a very effective way to ward off organisms, particularly viruses that attach to the mucosa at the back of your throat. And also the nose, I routinely use nasal spray of HOCl, particularly if I'm doing something like traveling, where I'm going to be exposed to a lot of potential foreign viruses.

 

I'm going to use a nasal spray because just like coronaviruses, most of those virus infections start out by binding to cells up your nose and at the very back of your throat. And if you can stop that happening and shut that down with HOCl, then you're going to benefit. And I know I do from that routine.

 

I don't think it's really possible to do harm with HOCl. It's a natural product, so we obviously have a great deal of tolerance in our physiological system for something that we make ourselves. 

 

But there's nothing wrong with particularly, say, someone who has an oral health problem--- has gum infections or a lot of bleeding----with using it every few hours, four, five, six times a day, will not do harm. And I'm convinced for just about everyone who has an oral health problem, it can do a great deal of good.
