| A rolled up heating pad applied to nose and sinuses |
To be clear, the treatment I show on my website is my treatment for colds in general. Over the last couple of years, I have optimized it to make it easier to apply. The latest photo shows how to add heat to the nose and sinuses by rolling a heating pad tightly.
My treatment depends on using our normal body heat which
commonly varies from 36 to 37 0C (96.8 – 98.6 0F). Older
people such as myself tend to lower value and so may require some extra heat to
make the treatment work. The treatment also depends on a fever created by the
cold virus that heats the body's core temperature to 38 – 39 0C (100.4-102.2
0F) and relative humidity of greater than 95%, in the lungs. Adding extra heat to the
nose and sinuses makes the process faster.
My treatment also for a relatively short time requires blocking
the nose and mouth breathing. It also depends on other parts of our immune system
besides the fever response. I’m always testing my ideas to be sure they work
and measure the results before sharing them.
The deficiency of this treatment is that it has no
official standing. I have mentioned this
before and continue to find an official body that will conduct a simple
trial. One problem is that this is a very
low-tech solution. There are no pills to
produce or serums to inject. I don’t know
how it can be monetized. In its simplest
form, all you have to do is pinch your nose closed for about 2 hours, as soon as
detected, and abide by the caveats suggested. This can be a problem for some
people. My rationale is that it is easier to suffer mild discomfort for a few
hours than days of misery. Basically, by blocking the nose, the conditions of the
lungs are extended to the nasal chambers and throat, virus elimination as
opposed to incubation.
We have an amazing, built-in, immune system. It has two
parts, the adaptive and the innate. The
adaptive takes care of new intrusions first by determining what the problems
are, and developing and making responding devices. It can be preprogrammed for
a faster response and sometimes requires a few days for a full response. This is
the part where pills and vaccines are made to target a specific virus. The rhinovirus
has about 200 variants and about 12 vaccines.
The coronavirus seems to be following a similar course of action and
reaction by the medical industry suppliers.
The innate immune part is in place and responds in
several ways. For colds that are transmitted by mini aerosol clouds, that are
breathed in, the upper respiratory tract, (URT), takes charge. This includes the nose, throat, and mouth and
their various functions. One function of the upper respiratory tract is to warm
up and humidify the incoming air and collect some moisture and some of the heat
in the air leaving. The nose and throat
are coated with cells designed to catch and dispose of wayward pathogens with
the help of handy T cells. Saliva and mucus cover these cells and flush away
the debris to the stomach.
These two organs, the stomach, and the lungs are critical
to the process. The stomach creates a
toxic environment few pathogens can survive. Similarly, the lungs can produce
heat and relative humidity that human cold viruses can’t survive. The data is supported in references I have included on December 7, 2021.
It works for me and I hope it works for you. You be the
judge.
