As early as 1873, the antiseptic action of iodine was discovered. It proved to inactivate viruses, kill bacteria, fungi and other pathogens. We know that the Corona virus infect the mucosa cells of your nose and replicate there for around a week. If we can protect these cells against infection, or even lower the viral load after an infection, it could be of a great help to your body to fight the infection. As iodine is an essential mineral that your body needs, it is taken up into the cells of the mucosa and the possibility exist that it could even inactivate the virus in the mucosa cells. In Nature, iodine is a relatively rare element. It is essential to life and crucial for brain development in children, making it the number one cause of preventable mental retardation worldwide. Deficiency in mothers during pregnancy could lead to a 10 to15 point decrease of a child’s IQ. It is the only essential mineral that your body can’t store Deficiency increased fourfold during the past 40 years Everybody should get it every day through food or supplements More than 70% of normal “healthy” adults do not consume enough iodine
One of iodine’s characteristics is that iodine changes directly from a solid into a gas. Salt, fruit and veggies in supermarkets loose the iodine in time, as well as cooking which decreases the iodine’s concentration. In my opinion everybody should get supplements of iodine by using Virolete. Although some people claim to have an iodine allergy, it is very rare. In fact, there has never been a confirmed report of a true iodine allergy, and an allergy to elemental iodine or simple iodide salts is theoretically impossible. Hypersensitivity reactions to products and foods containing iodine are apparently related to their other molecular components.
We are in the process of evaluating the effect on long covid. Home uses to consider when using as a supplement: Virolete will extend the user life of milk and fresh juice life by at least a week (two drops in 2l fresh milk) Will stops mould on cheese for weeks (quick spray) Keep fruit and veggies from rotting (Spray in the bags) Can be use in Yoghurt, feta cheese, in marinades, homemade jam, and fresh cream Add a few drops in drinking water to sterilize it. Also for treating wounds It has been shown to be so effective against SARS-CoV-2, that scientists proposed that Povidone–iodine nasal spray should be part of the normal PPE. In studies it protects health care workers 100% over a 3 months period in a study done in India.
