My SARS-CoV-2 The AD Robb Solution and Treatment 02

Since my last post I have refined my solution to use a simple hand warmer pad that is readily  available in Canada ski country. Hand-warmers require a layer of cloth to avoid over heat injury and so I have included a pouch design using common materials. The cloth is to control the heat. Adding layers will lower the heat. I used a small heat glue gun to tack the pouch together and I made a template for making many copies shown in the photo. Tacking the insulation in place then sewing the sides is good.

My comment on the treatment is that I have never tried this on COVID-19 and don't know anyone that has. I have tried that equivalent heating pad on colds and flu and it works like a charm. I have sent notes with this information to about 15 organizations and have so far received no personal response. So if someone tries this on the coronavirus, please make a comment!

Nose and Sinuses Warmer for Colds

Why is it necessary to warm the nose channels and sinuses?  Most colds are caused by viruses that propagate in the nose channels and sinuses. These areas supply the ideal temperature and humidity for this to happen. The purpose of these areas is to warm the incoming air and collect moisture on outgoing air. Cold viruses propagate rapidly in a temperature range of 33-35 ⁰C and humidity range 40-50%, an environment found in the nose areas. Rhinoviruses, the cause of most colds have been found to stop existing above 38.8 ⁰C and humidity of 95%.  So by blocking the nose entrance stopping cold air from entering, and heating the channels to above 39 ⁰C, you can create an environment that demolishes the viruses.

The process is time-dependent as it takes a while for the heat to travel along the various paths.  The materials the nose is created from are good heat conductors, so the process is relatively fast. Blocking off the nose and breathing through the mouth, increases the temperature in the nose to core temperature in about 5 minutes. During this process, it is best to block the nose inlet on the side of the face that is being heated and to breathe through the mouth. This stops the cold air inlet thus maximizing the heating process.

Both heating pads and hand-warmer pads are suitable for heating. The heat output can be easily adjusted, both have sufficient heat capacity, heat output is constant and both are designed for body heating. I would not use any other heat sources as the danger of over-heating could cause burning. Neither of these devices has temperature gauges.  I use an infrared detector which is non-intrusive and immediate. A body thermometer will work but make sure it will measure up to 44 ⁰C. I also use a digital cooking thermometer for measuring the pad temperature. The back of the hand or forearm can be used to check the temperature of your source if none of the above are available. The advantage of the warming pad is that its’ size is perfect for this application. It should be noted that heating the skin, blood will rise to the surface turning it red. The redness will disappear in a few hours.

For electric heating pads, the highest or second-highest setting can be used.

Hand-warmer pads are inexpensive bought in bulk and much less bulky to use. Read the instruction on the package.  (I’m not sure of the term medical use means as it is not defined. I used the pads in my ski boot to keep my feet warm.)  The pad uses the oxidation of iron to create heat which means they need oxygen/air to create heat.  When removed from their sealed package they require some massaging to get them started. Returning the pad to a sealed, air evacuated bag stops the heating process, ready to use again. These pad are designed for local heating of body parts. Ideal.

Equipment Needed

A thermometer, a warming pad, a pouch, and a plastic bag to seal the pad when not in use

Make a Pouch

 The pouch is a sandwich with material surrounding the pad. One outside layer of cloth shields the skin from the pad and the rest is insulation.   Instructions on how to make a pouch are included.

Application of the Heating Pad and Pouch

In this process, the pouch is placed at 9 locations on the face and neck. The figures on the left, show these locations.  Here are some preliminary instructions:

·        Breath through the mouth.

·        Hold the pouch place for 10 minutes in each place.

·        Massage the heating pad between application areas if it cools from the lack of oxygen.

·        Press hard enough to ensure contact but light enough to let air penetrate the insulation to the pad. Heat is transferred mostly by the amount of contact pouch surface. Uniform constant pressure on the pouch is best.

·        Open the package and start the heat process. Insert the pad into the pouch, folding the sealed ends to fit. Check the pad temperature.

·        When the pad is warm to 42 degrees C  (about 15 to 20 min) apply the pouch to the locations. Use as many fingers as needed.

·        Go to the Locations page to apply the pouch.

When the heating process is completed, remove the heating pad from the pouch and place the pad in the corner of the sandwich bag.  As per instructions for the pad use, force all the air out of the bag and seal it, to stop the heating process.

Note: If an electric heating pad is used, some of the above instructions are unnecessary. I have two new heating pad. One with 6 settings, that heats to temperature in 30 second and large 12” x 24”, and another that has 4 setting and the same size that take about 2 minutes to heat.  I use both on the highest setting.

This ends the first session.

After the application of heat above you should expect a clearing of the nasal passages. If lost your sense of smell it may return also.  Some people will have redness where the heat is applied but this should disappear in a few hours. Viruses cause some damage and so it takes some time to heal. The first sign of symptoms is a sign that the damage has begun. The amount of damage depends on the amount of time the virus takes to reproduce and be detected.  It also depends on the rate of reproduction. If this treatment is applied early the damage is minimal and the repair time may be only a day or two.  A second application a day later may be necessary if the nasal passages are not completely cleared.

Extensive damage caused by the virus will take more time to repair.  It is not known to what depth this process will penetrate but it will eliminate the most prolific virus generators and give the immune system time to take action. I gargle with a tea made with fresh ginger root, very thinly sliced. 

If you have an electric heating pad, applying it to your throat and chest may help. If you have a high fever it may be necessary to cool some other parts of your body, such as legs uncovered.
