Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices to improve respiratory system health, increase resistance to infection, and increase the hypothiocyanate ion in mammalian lungs. The methods generally comprise: generating a Hydrogen Peroxide Gas that is non-hydrated and free of ozone, and directing the gas comprising primarily Hydrogen Peroxide Gas into an environment and exposing a subject to the environment such that the Hydrogen Peroxide Gas acts to the increase of the hypothiocyanate ion in mammalian lungs.
Claims10
A method for treating a respiratory illness in a subject in need thereof comprising:
- providing an enclosed space for treatment comprising a purified hydrogen peroxide gas (PHPG) that is substantially free of hydration and ozone at a final concentration of at least 0.01 parts per million (ppm);
- and
- treating said subject in need by exposing said subject to said environment for at least one period of time to provide a therapeutic amount of PHPG, wherein said treating reduces the severity of a respiratory infection or reduces the duration of a respiratory infection wherein said subject in need thereof is a human and is infected by an influenza virus, a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus, a Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus, or a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), wherein said subject in need has a respiratory infection.
