People don’t trust the vaccines but they’re ok with this?
Their first piece of advice is stay away from hospital. Ok, good luck with that.

Boil a pot of water on the stove. Throw in a handful of crushed eucalyptus leaves. Place on table. Sit down. Using a bath towel as a tent, place your head directly over the steaming pot of water and leaves. Breathe in steam vapour deeply with short breaks for fresh air until the steam begins to subside. Repeat just before bedtime.
You will at least think you feel better.
Same result as nebuliser except the steam and eucalyptus leaves will make your facial skin feel clean and fresh like you’ve just treated it to $150.00 spa treatment.

NIH lists eucalyptus as an active ingredient in Vaporub.

According to Wikipedia, Dr. Mercola is worth 100 million dollars.
He must be an amazing doctor.

I don't know if this concoction works as a preventative or not. I would like to see a controlled study on it.
I've been around medicine long enough, I don't do a regal wave of the hand at anything. I've seen treatment protocols change drastically as one smal fact or another emerges.
I've also see stuff that docs did with concoctions or use of meds not normally used, that worked. Always remember, it is the art of medicine, not the science.

Yes and it says so on the label.
As for heating it, people have been adding it to their vapourizers and steamers since back in the day it first hit the store shelves. I always do when I have cold. Have done so since childhood.
Also knew of an old Polish babushka who would eat a tblspoonful twice a day whenever she felt a cold or flu coming on. When she passed on well into her 90’s it had nothing to do with ingesting Vick’s.
I guess I don’t see your point.
Elbows up!

Seriously?
Maybe we should do a study on that. Get a bunch of people with serious respiratory problems and allow half of them to go to a hospital and see how that works?
I was only joking

If you have an active ingredient, you have an agent that is actually doing something. In this case, you aren't just thinking, you actually do have some relief, albeit temporary.

I want to see a study. That seems a pretty tiny dose. Having spent the first 2 yrs of my nursing career inside croup tents with little ones, also using nebulizers with kiddos, I remember simple saline doing a pretty good job all on its own loosening up secretions.

Seriously, I don't give a rodent's rectum what he said about hospitals.

You work in one. You’re almost certainly in imminent danger of something or other

I understand the science. Saline to promote secretions at the mucosal level, trying to detach and expel the pathogen. Iodine works against bacteria, hydrogen peroxide does, too, along with being a pretty good viricide. Many dentists for years have advocated a very dilute H2O2 mouthwash and gargle, as a preventative.
It's not just COVID. What if adherence to something this simple actually worked as a preventative?
If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
As I said, I'd like to see a good controlled study.

@Jolly we used to use H202 for years for wounds (it bubbles when staph/gram+ cocci are present, am I right?). It worked, I thought. Of recent though, my periodontist says, nope (& he’s urging saline over chlorohexidine for his surgeries). My nurse friends say nope for peroxide too. Apparently it’s excoriating to tissue & mucosa. So, yeah, I want to see a study, a virus study.

Ya know, I kinda remember not using peroxide on burn pts. wounds .. the excoriation. Same with flushing out trachs. I forget about what we cleaned trach sites with. But with flushing, I believe it was saline. Same with endotracheal tubes. George would know this .. I think there may have been some meds we’d squirt down there, bag down, then suck out. (Gah, I’m having flashbacks of what we’d have to do to these poor kids). I don’t have an opinion on iodine. To me that’s skin prep.

H2O2 is a catalase and bubbles from contact with blood in wound. It's pretty good for getting the blood stains out of lab coats.
But you're not completely wrong. We use a catalase test to differentiate between staph and strep, when working up a gram positive colony.
The hydrogen peroxide mouth wash is pretty dilute and some guys still recommend it for periodontal problems.
It's now not indicated for cleansing wounds. But between me and the gatepost, I'd use it it I didn't have access to soap and water.
