Strong humming for one hour daily to terminate chronic rhinosinusitis in four days: A case report and hypothesis for action by stimulation of endogenous nasal nitric oxide production

Eby, G., Medical Hypotheses, doi:10.1016/j.mehy.2005.11.035, Jan 2006
43rd treatment shown to reduce risk in June 2022, now with p = 0.013 from 14 studies, recognized in 10 countries.
Lower risk for hospitalization, cases, and viral clearance.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
6,500+ studies for 210+ treatments. c19early.org
Case report of an outpatient showing significant symptomatic benefit with strong, low-pitch humming (a method to increase endogenous nitric oxide).
