Please enjoy this practical segment on Real America’s Voice American Sunrise concerning the prevention of viral upper respiratory tract infections from rhinovirus to bird flu. Dr. Gina Loudon like so many of us is routinely using nasal and throat sprays to prevent catching colds from airplanes and contacts in everyday life.
Of interest, she took aim at the adverse effect of sugary drinks like Gatorade on infection-related inflammation preferring tea with honey for her sick kids. I upgraded her idea with manuka honey which has been found to have antiviral activity as demonstrated by Watanabe et al .
