From the post: "Rinsing your mouth out with salt water when you have Covid could reduce your chance of ending up in the hospital.

In a study presented last week, researchers measured the effect of gargling and nasal rinsing with a saline solution on symptoms and hospitalization rates in patients with Covid.

They found hospitalization rates for people who gargled or nasal rinsed salt water were up to 40 percent lower than those who did not."

Who would ever have thought that things people have been using for hundreds of years actually work in some cases? What did they ever do without modern drugs from major companies that want you sick your entire life to make a profit!

All of the things they said would not work, you will find that they work. All of the things they said would work, you will find not only that they do not work but that they are harmful to your health, potentially fatal.

A large amount of Modern medicine is just highly concentrated versions of old/folk medicine. Unless you are in a very bad state it is worth looking at the "old ways" first. If that does not work then investigate and try the modern stuff.
