Great post. I'm much older than you, and also have chronic Lyme, and I beat Covid twice now. I nebulize peroxide, but at a much higher concentration than you. I add salt to it, as Mercola directs. The salt alone is highly valuable, I believe. I also add iodine to it - povidone if I want purely local effects; lugol's if I want systemic effects.
I think the reason Lugol's is recommended for systemic use is that it is a mixture of Iodine and Iodide. Lugol experimented and found that some parts of the body work better with different forms of the element. The thyroid, for instance, needs iodide IIRC. So Lugol's will do the most general good. But for spot disinfectant usage, the povidone is more powerful. Generally the povidone is 3x more concentrated than the Lugol's though, so be careful about dosing. With me, my thyroid tells me when I'm going too fast.
I've had alpha(?), delta, and now omicron. The last two were very close together. So the immunity I've gained doesn't seem to be too general. But I have lyme and coinfections, and that's probably an impediment. But IAC, I'm doing great and really kicking this thing to the curb. I'm covering my bases regarding basic treatment and nutrition, but the real strength is my faith, and knowing the authority of the believer.

Hey Paul, I pretty much follow Mercola on this too. I've been using Lugol's. What do you mean by local vs. systemic effects?
The Povidone affects mainly the immediate contact area, the lungs. The Lugol's gets into the whole system. So I've read.
edit: see my post below for a better explanation.
