THIS may be another interesting finding to prevent and cure COVID-19. Dr Arun Nayak, a senior doctor of Satna, has made a remarkable study on prevention and treatment of coronavirus. His treatment method has been followed by a renowned hospital in successful treatment of COVID-19 patients. He has sent letters to the office of the Prime Minister, ICMR and to the Health Minister of Madhya Pradesh presenting his study on novel coronavirus. He has requested them to take a look at the observations and get them reanalysed with a team of experts.
 
Dr Nayak who presently serves with the Police Department in Satna is MBBS, MS ENT and is well known in the region for mixing allopathic treatment with natural ways for successful treatment of patients. Speaking to ‘The Hitavada’, Dr Nayak said that even before onslaught of COVID-19 he has treated many patients suffering from viral diseases including acute sore throat, tonsillitis and rhinitis successfully with medicine and a combination of sodium bicarbonate and Povidone Iodine solution mixed with lukewarm water for gargling. According to him, COVID-19 virus stays in the mucous membrane of the throat and nasal mucosa for four days and it is important to stop or kill the virus at its entry point before it multiplies and infects the lungs. He said that using an anti-viral drug and gargle of Sodium bicarbonate and Povidone Iodine in lukewarm water the virus can be controlled at its entry point.
 
He also suggests Neti Kriya used in Ayurvedic medicine with saline lukewarm water and sodium bicarbonate. Replying to a query Dr Arun Nayak said that the outer layer of COVID-19 virus is made up of protein and is breakable by soap. It is a known fact that sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda is a useful ingredient. Baking soda has a place in bath and beauty products. It is the primary ingredient and adds gentle exfoliation to soap and scrubs.
 
Thus, when sodium bicarbonate is used for gargling and as a nasal spray it kills or makes the virus less effective by breaking its outer cell cover. He added that the other constituent Povidone Iodine has also been researched and found to be effective in controlling coronavirus spread. A study published in eMediNexus says that use of Povidone Iodine nasal spray and mouthwash during current COVID-19 pandemic may protect healthcare workers and reduce cross-infection. Dr Nayak said that he has shared this study with a few of his doctor friends who are on duties treating COVID-19 patients and asked them to do gargling once they are home. None of the doctors or their medical staff following this protocol were infected with the deadly virus. Dr Nayak said that if family members of a COVID-19 patient are immediately asked to gargle with this combination then their chances of contracting the virus becomes minimal thereby stopping the vicious chain. Dr Nayak is waiting for official confirmation of the study made by him which can save lives from coronavirus.
