A germ-killing vapor

Very good find TB, that is pretty cool.

When Bob first posted this thread I was at the point of deciding whether to go down the PG or VG route. After reading the post I thought I would stick with the PG (as he is doing) to see if it did help with the usual round of winter germs. Being in a job where I come into contact with lots of other people I normally catch most things going round. Well so far this season I have had two colds, and fingers crossed no flu. The interesting thing for me is that the colds have been only sinus related, no cough, no chest infection when others have caught what is probably my germs and had bad coughs and chest infections with them. Whether this is a coincidence or related to me no longer smoking I don't know, but when I have ever had a cold before it is always had a cough with it. So for now I am going to stick with the PG.

I'd like to second this whole thing. I am a custodian for a local community college and usually i catch everything that comes around. I am also exposed to salt and dust quite often and i'm sure i inhale some.
I'm not sure if it's that i've stopped smoking but i haven't caught what i would consider a real cough this year, no flu either. I've had some minor sinus problems but nothing in the lungs. Actually i still have a smoke every once in a while.

Thank you for the interesting and informative research TropicalBob!

thats awesome news

It might be useful for the elderly or 'weak'/sick, the germ-killing qualities, but I'm in my 20s and I never have a problem with germs. I recommend to anyone who wants an entirely effective germ-killer and infection-figther, you should eat raw garlic as often as possible (but you probably don't want any more than 2 cloves a day). If you don't like the taste you can always cut it up and buy empty capsules, take 'em like a pill. You have to do it rather quickly though, or the garlic will melt the capsule. It's very good for any infection, even teeth.

Maybe they will find a way to put garlic extract into e-liquid without an offensive taste or odor X) some people don't like garlic. And did I see Fennel e-liquid? I am confused, isn't that an onion-like vegetable?

 

[TropicalBob]

PG vapor was later tested on children, with outstanding germ-killing effects. Age has nothing to do with this. Garlic might be good stuff for some purposes, but researchers have found only two large-scale germ killers: PG vapor and UV light. We're just lucky enough to live in an age when a personal vaporizer is actually made and sold.

Will vaporers be the only ones around after a biological attack?

 

[incineradma]

I guess I was commenting on what I've read people mention around here instead of reading fully this thread's info oops. That does sound helpful but aren't UV rays harmful if you get too many? I wonder if PG is harmful when we are vaping all day.. *shrug*

 

[danielle]

I am wondering now if pg would also be beneficial in killing fungus. the reason I ask is because there is a well known Italian doctor "Dr. Simoncini." who has proven that cancer is in fact a type of fungus and he has cured it with simple baking soda sollutions since baking soda does in fact kill fungus.

 

[taz3cat]

Dr. Simoncini, has said cancer is caused by yeast/canadia overgrowth , but he has not proved it to the scientific/medical community yet. I think he may be on to something according to what I have read but, it is not proven yet.

 

[Kate]

Wouldn't it be amazing if it was to be discovered that vaping cures cancer.

Here's the testing I'd like to see done now:

1. The new resistant tuberculosis strain. A passenger on an oversea airline brought it to America week or so ago. Since PG killed other TB germs, could it work on this one that resists known treatments?

2. H5N1. The bird flu virus. It's a flu, all right, a mutated virus. It's the Big Fear for a global pandemic. Why not test PG vapor on a petri dish of H5N1?

The results to both or either of these would certainly be interesting, but I doubt they would do it. Big Pharma would not make money doing it, so the idea would get tabled, if anyone even had the juevos to suggest it.

 

[TropicalBob]

You are correct. No money to be made by Big Pharma for PG sales. Drugs, not health, is their business.

But maybe some decent university researcher somewhere ....

Hello Tb and welcome back Kate...My names Drew and I am reletively new to this forum..I am also a Reiki Practitioner and have practiced holistic remedies as I have an alergy to many medications and have a history as well as a backround in addictions...Anyway I have been privy to this artichle for some time that I thoght I read on this site(the one you posted) as well as another I think you posted previously with mention of drug delivery to lung transplant patients using pv..However I have pm' ed
Kate and considered a pm to you as well, being that I have also followed your recipe threads closely... I am currently working on a recipe that includes a number of herbal remedies that have proven success in treating Lung, Liver, Kidney and other vital organs...I have actually been vaping it for a couple of weeks now and am intrested in others opinions and input... I have no immediate intrest in marketing, as it could take years of testing and aproval processes...The products I am using are all otc herbs that oddly enough, 4 of the 5 that I have chosen, are refined with alcohol and diluted with pg or vg...They are easily mixed and vaped..The tastes have not been easily masked...
Well that was a long post but I would be very intrested in your opinion... I scheduled with an MD freind of mine next week for a Pulmonary Function test to see if I can get any definitive info for my research...Look forward to hearing your opinion...Again, Kate a true pleasure to see your back.

 

[Kate]

Hi Drew, thanks for the welcome back

I'd like to hear more about your eliquid and what benefits you've noticed, it would be good if you started a thread on the diy board to tell us about it. I've heard ideas for tinctures and supplements but have not heard of anything being tried successfully.

I did'nt know about the new resistant tuberculosis strain. 8-o

Thats it. I'm just not going out anymore.

The NEW bioterrorism - just tell 'em all there's a killer strain of somethin', a percentage of 'em will never leave the house again in fear of that one. Next week, tell 'em about another killer virus. Tell 'em the most innocuous things will cause cancer, they won't be able to breathe the air anymore, they'll all be huffin' canned air that we'll charge them exorbitantly for, then tax to the hilt. Before long, we'll have 'em all sittin' at home afraid to do anything or go anywhere for fear they'll get cancer or some deadly germ. We'll rule the world because we are the only ones going out into it. MWAHAHAHAHA.

Sorry, Dee, I just couldn't resist. I work in a highly germophobic facility and must make fun of germ fear to maintain my sanity. It's nothing personal, just the kind of thing I hear about 200 times a day.

Drewsworld ...I was just looking into the idea of adding vitamins and healthy herbs to my e-juice. I found this site Herbs
The doses are a dropper full daily so I wonder how beneficial it would be if added to e-juice. The BeePollen is good for just about everything including preventing cancer. There you go Kate...perhaps it could cure cancer

I have been impressed by the germicidal benefits so far. One week after hubby and I received our PV's all three of our children came home with a cold. Horrible cough, etc. Hubby thinks he may have caught it, but I think it was the typical symptoms from the switch and it only lasted two day with him. I never caught it at all.

I am now considering getting one for our 20 year old who has a low functioning immune system and catches everything that comes along. She was one of the few teenagers to contract West Nile.
