Who wants to fight the Covid by drinking sparkling water? No, this is not a new quack trick as we often see flourish on the internet. This time it’s very serious. The call is launched by the Grenoble University Hospital, and it is relayed to us in Côte-d’Or.
This study is aimed at people who have recently contracted the coronavirus. This is to limit the effects of the disease by drinking twice a day a large glass of water in which a hydrogen pellet has been melted. Professor Jean-Luc Bosson heads the “public health pole” of the Grenoble University Hospital and he explains his idea to us:
“We are trying to find out if hydrogen could be a treatment. This small molecule could act wherever it is needed, especially on the lungs. It would block the inflammation that causes people to go to the hospital.”

It doesn’t have a bad taste “- Claire, a volunteer
Claire is 44 years old, this Dijon mother has decided to play the game: “Every day, I have a little questionnaire to fill out to explain how I feel. You have to melt a hydrogen pellet in a glass of water and drink it, once in the morning, once in the evening. C ‘is vaguely blue, but it tasteless. It’s not a complicated study, and if it gets people to go to the hospital, that’s fine. “
The test lasts three weeks for the volunteers, and it is carried out in Dijon, Nice, Lyon, Grenoble, Valence, Romans-sur-Isère and Montélimar.
“To scientifically measure the effects of this treatment, you have to go through several hundred volunteers” specifies Professor Bosson. “So we need dozens of people in Côte-d’Or. “ You can contact the researchers on the website of their laboratory.
