Today, we're gonna talk about
what everyone is talking about.
Coronavirus, and more over,
I was just saying in the last segment
that the polar opposite of forgiveness and humanity
is the profiteering of something
as simple as hand sanitizer.
Really, really.
There is a huge shortage of it in this country.
They're selling it for exorbitant amounts up
to $650 a bottle which is just insanity.
So, Doctor Ian, and a lot of people are doing this at home,
and they have little videos up on YouTube and stuff,
but you're gonna show us the proper ratios
if you want to create and make your own safe hand sanitizer.
But let's just start with the basics.
Is hand sanitizer going to protect you
from definitively getting sick?
Great question.
So, first of all, the best way
is actually washing your hands.
The good old fashion soap and water
is the best way to do it. Right.
At least twenty seconds, correct?
Yes, so the idea is, you can see this picture here.
The CDC says 20 seconds, it could be up to 30 seconds.
This is a photo from dailymail.com
of someone washing their hands.
You can see at the different time elapses
when it's light, that means it's not totally clean,
it took them up to 30 second to really get--
To just get that layer off.
Yes, exactly.
Now, does that mean that's gonna happen for everyone?
Most people don't wash their hands correctly.
You put your hand under the water,
you get it wet first, then you put the soap on--
Does it matter if it's hot or cold?
It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold
because it's not hot enough to kill the pathogen.
That's right, you can't put your hands
under boiling water. Boiling water
which is what you would need to kill the bacteria,
the virus.
So, you put the water, I tell my kids this all the time,
we actually have a hand washing lesson 'cause I got sick
of them they're washing hands.
Water first, put the soap, you have to lather.
That's the 20-30 second mark people, the soap.
Soap, lather.
Not the running under the water part.
Exactly (laughs). (crowd laughing)
It's the get the stuff dead and off part that counts.
My boys are you listening to this?
So anyway, that's the right way to do it.
You do the palms, you do the back, in between.
Right, you've all seen fake doctors, he's a real one.
You see them on TV do this thing.
The back of your hand is what's catchin' all the ca-choo's
of the people around you.
That's right, that's right. (crowd laughing)
So, you can't just do the palms.
Am I preaching the truth?
You are preaching baby, preach.
Thank you.
So anyways, so okay, here we are.
So, the idea is first I wanna say
if you're buying hand sanitizer,
you wanna look at the concentration of alcohol.
The alcohol is what actually kills the pathogen.
And so, you want it to be at least 60% according to the CDC.
So, when you look at your hand sanitizer,
make sure it's 60% or over,
but we're also going to make it, okay.
You can make this, okay.
Now, we're gonna start with some rubbing alcohol,
some isopropyl alcohol.
So, we're gonna do 2/3 cup of the rubbing alcohol here.
That's 1/3.
2/3's, okay.
Now, this is 99%.
You wanna get your rubbing alcohol, your alcohol
to be in the 90's because science has shown
that it's more effective at killing it
when it's up in the 90's.
Now, this is our aloe vera gel here.
1/3 of this, so--
What is aloe vera gel?
It's in regular grocery stores, right?
You don't need a prescription--
This stuff you can get anywhere, it's not a prescription.
It's plant based.
You know the big aloe vera plant,
and you rub it on sunburns, right.
It's a gel, so you put that in there like so.
Then you mix it like so.
Then Rachel's gonna choose what she likes.
We have different oils you can put,
an essential oil in there.
Some of these--
Eucalyptus, that sounds and smells healthy.
Okay, there you go. (crowd laughing)
So, a couple of drops. You don't wanna put too much in there
because you don't wanna dry out the skin.
And some of these oils do have antimicrobial properties.
They fight bacteria, so not too much,
but we're gonna put a couple drops in like that.
I only got one drop, there we go.
There you go.
You're gonna mix it up like this.
Now, we're gonna use our funnel.
So, Rachel's gonna hold--
Whoops.
Don't worry about it. Don't take that cap up.
That's right (laughs). (crowd laughing)
You're gonna pour it in like this.
I like the spray bottles by the way, because...
Put it like so.
Gotcha.
And it comes out really, really nice.
(soft spraying)
Look at that.
Lovely.
See, that's it. (crowd applauding)
That's it.
Little aftershave.
Yes, and by the way,
by the way, look how good it feels.
It feels great, it smells great.
Yes, and the aloe vera keeps your skin from drying out,
so it gives a little moisture.
It just feels really, really good.
And it didn't cost $650.
And if you profiteering off of hand sanitizer--
Shame on you.
Shame on you!
That's right, there you go. (crowd clapping)
Thank you so much dear Doctor Ian.
