Nebulizer Validation...thanks Trapper

Trapper's experiment with nebulizing SSKI appears to be more valid than even what he thought. There is an interesting Chinese herbal product out that fights/stops flu and colds within the first 24-48 hours. Below is the explanation on how it works.

Flu is a virus. Yes, each group of viruses have their own characteristics, but a virus is a virus is a virus. Flu and colds aren't the only thing transmitted via the respiratory system. If they were, the overhead spray gifts wouldn't be an effective method of dispersing. But we know the overhead spraying is very effective for getting people sick. So, as I read this, the dots started to connect. Herbs apparently work as well or better if sprayed in the throat than swallowing in pill or tincture form. So iodine or SSKI should indeed be extremely effective delivered via a throat spray, via a home style steam inhalation treatment, or via a nebulizer. The information on the product says you have to have it on hand and use as soon as you get symptoms. If you order it and have to wait 3 days to get it, it won't work because the flu will be full-blown and beyond just the respiratory tract. Inhaling iodine/iodide should work then very similiarly for anything that is transmitted/acquired respiratorally. I would like Newport's thoughts on this theory.

"Why is Flu-STOP so effective? When a virus enters the
body, it rests on the upper respiratory tract, that is, in the
nasal cavity and the back of the throat. The Hemagglutinin
(HA) and the Neuraminidase(NA) of the virus are the tentacles
or “guns” that break the surface of a healthy cell on
the mucous membrane. Once they have broken through,
the virus gets inside the healthy cell and replicates. Flu-
STOP has a way of surrounding the NA and HA rendering
the virus useless for replication and it dies.
Dr. Liu says that, “Flu-STOP is unique because the influenza
strain does not matter. All influenzas have the HA and
NA in common and this is the method of action for Flu-
STOP. We have even done live virus testing on H5N1 (Bird
Flu) and it works just as well.” The method of action that
the majority of other natural cold and flu remedies use is
by immune boosting. This requires the user to either be
constantly taking the booster or to take it immediately upon
sensing symptoms. Typically there is a time loss with these
products allowing more virus replication to occur.
Knowing the method of action of Flu-STOP, it is critical that
users be educated about proper use. The product must be
sprayed to the BACK OF THE THROAT and for additional
coverage up the nose followed by no eating or drinking for
30 minutes. In this way the product has the opportunity to
do its work on the virus. Because Flu-STOP also has an
anti-bacterial component, users will also feel an immediate
relief from a soar throat."
