Regular Twice Daily Nasal Sprays and Gargles--Key to Staying Free of Colds, Flu, RSV, and COVID-19

Real America's Voice Just the News hosts Amanda Head and John Solomon ask Dr. McCullough for the best advice on avoiding colds, flu, and other viral illnesses. McCullough said twice daily nasal sprays and gargles work to knock out early viral replication in the nose and mouth infections can be avoided altogether. McCullough says the regular habit is more important than the solutions used. For acute infections, McCullough favors iodine based sprays and sprays/gargles (Immune Mist from The Wellness Company). For chronic use and prevention, the xylitol based products (Xlear, Spry) are a good choice since they favorably impact the microbiome and have other benefits for the gums and teeth.
