According to Dr. Thomas Levy, gradate from Tulane medical school, inhaling a very diluted concentration of hydrogen peroxide through a nebulizer may be an effective way to prevent, or even treat, the Coronavirus. This home treatment, first introduced by Dr. Charles Farr in the early 90s, requires only two things; a nebulizer (with a face mask) and food grade hydrogen peroxide, diluted to .1 percent (one tenth of one percent), making it easier to carry out than most at- home coronavirus treatments, according to authors. The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) consists of a water molecule with an extra oxygen atom. It is the oxygen that inactivates the virus by breaking down its structure. According to an article by authors at Mercola, breathing in this diluted version of hydrogen peroxide allows it to travel into the mouth, nose, and lung. Then the hydrogen peroxide works in a similar way as soap works, by dissolving the fatty coating of the coronavirus infected cells. "Effective hydrogen peroxide nebulization quite literally, 'chops the head off of the snake,' and the virus present elsewhere in the body can then readily be mopped up when the new virus influx has been terminated," Levy notes in the Mercola article. "It should be kept in mind that hydrogen peroxide kills pathogens very readily upon contact in an open wound. It should, therefore, be understandable why putting a fine mist of hydrogen peroxide in all the areas of maximal viral replication promptly puts the body on a pathway to rapid healing." The American Journal of Infection Control found that H202 can inactivate 99% of a virus on surfaces after 2.5 minutes of exposure. Researchers at the Journal of Hospital Infection, found similar results, after testing with H202 and stainless steel. A study conducted in 1997 concluded that vaporized H202 was effective against many exotic animal viruses.
