Re: More info on Sino Fresh

[Guest guest]

And here's info on these various antiseptics in general, including

the main ingredient of SinoFresh, Cetylpyridinium chloride.

Interesting about iodine. I wonder if taking it internally has an

antimicrobial effect?

Iodine compounds have the widest spectrum of antiinfectives against

bacteria, fungi, spores, protozoa, viruses, and yeasts. Aqueous

iodine are less effective than alcoholic solutions, but alcoholic

component is drying and irritating to abraided skin. Povidone iodine

is convenient to use as it is less irritating, but not as effective.

Chlorhexidine is used as a safe antiseptic or disinfectant to apply

to prevent body infection and in oral rinses for treating sore gums

and mouth ulcers and preventing plaque on teeth. It is used in the

form of acetate, gluconate or hydrochloride, either alone or in

combination with others such as cetrimide.

Cetrimide is an antiseptic agent with detergent properties. It has

the wide spectrum of antiinfectives against bacteria and fungi. It

is used as an ingredient of shampoos for treating seborrhoea and

psoriasis. A very dilute solution can be applied topically for the

relief of sore gums.

Hippuric Acid, an amino acid glycine, is excreted from the body and

is used in urinary system drugs. Hexamine hippurates is helpful for

preventing and treating infections of the urinary system; it acts by

being transformed to formaldehyde.

Triclosan is a very popular antibacterial agent. It is used in

hospitals for cleansing and disinfecting the skin of patients and

surgeons. It is used in cosmetics, household goods and personal care

products. It is also used in plastics and textiles for antibacterial

activity purpose.

Cetylpyridinium chloride is used in oral rinses for cleaning mouth

and treating minor throat or mouth infections and teething problems.

Dequalinium chloride is antiinfectives against bacteria and fungi.

It is used in treating bacterial or fungal infections of mouth and

throat.

Internally, Steve? It's interesting, because there's such

disagreement on whether iodine is beneficial for hypothyroidism or

not. Some people seem to react very badly to it, others seem to

really benefit. And then there are those who are " allergic " . I

wonder what's really going on?

Yeah, pretty much. What's encouraging is that these detergents

(antiseptics) don't allow bugs to build resistance, so if there's

some way we can use them, that's good.
