Filmed live at the Hive, Atlanta, Georgia, on August 12, 2020. Dr. Baxter discusses her new nasal irrigation study beginning soon. She talks about active viral particles and viral load in the nose. Wear a mask! Viral load is correlated with severity of disease.

 

Study details: For COVID+ patients, ages 55+ Dr. Baxter’s nasal irrigation study begins soon! Does nasal irrigation (starting the day after a positive test) twice a day for 14 days decrease hospitalization, oxygen use, ICU placement, and mortality.

Also intended to treat myofascial pain caused by trigger points, restricted motion and muscle tension.
