I have always used store grade peroxide for tooth problems and gargling for sore throat diluted about 4 times. I am pleased to learn about using to inhale to improve oxygen. Thanks to you and all your contributors.! Elaine

I am just amazed at what I am reading and wished I knew about this before. How does the peroxide work for fat loss and weight loss?

At the first sign of a cold (scratchy throat) I use H2 3% by gargling. I use it straight from the bottle. I've never had the flu. (I'm 56) (I don't take flu shots.) If I do get a cold, (I haven't had one in 3 or 4 years), if I gargle with H202, the cold only last about 2-3 days. If it comes at all! I believe in it healing powers and told my sister to try it on her foot where she has a horn. Her Dr. doesn't know she using it, but is totally surprise that the horn is not growing like it should! She can now walk on that foot with out pain! The Dr still wants to do surgery on her foot, but I asked her to hold off for a while to see what will happen with her using the H2. It has cured colds, cleans the wax out of my ears. I tell my grandsons to use it for their pimples. I use it on the fungus on my toe nails. I didn't know about using it for plants. I will try that next! I love the stuff.

I use H202/baking soda, H202/colloidal silver. It has cured bad breath, whitened teeth and healed gum sores. The H202/colloidal silver cured a stomach ulcer caused by h pylori bacteria. H202 is marvelous. I have been using it to water my plants for about a year and only recently learned about it's other wonderful uses. I am going to start using Bill Munro's inhalation method shortly. Joel, Calgary, Alberta

8 WEEKS AGO I FOUND YOUR SITE AFTER DOING SOME READING IN A POPULAR NATURAL CURES BOOK. AND A LOT OF CURES LISTED HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AS THE CURE FOR.... SO I DID THE 2 DROPS OF HP IN THE EARS AND ALL THAT NIGHT MY LEFT NOSE AND EYE RAN STUFF FROM IT... THE NEXT DAY I REALIZED THAT MY LEFT EYE WAS CLEAR IN SIGHT AND IT HAS BEEN FUZZY FOR YEARS, ALWAYS FULL OF COLD IN THE MORNINGS, THAT HAS EVEN STOPPED..... I HAVE CONTINUED TO USE IT AS NEEDED, MAYBE ONCE A WEEK...

FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 7 YRS. ALMOST, WHENEVER THE WEATHER CHANGED, REALLY WHEN IT GETS COLD, I WOULD JUST THINK I HAD A COLD ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS ALLERGIES... I ALSO DID THE 8-10 DROPS OF HP IN 8OZ. OF WATER MORNING AND NIGHT AND SWAB OUT MY NOSE WITH IT....I BRUSH MY TEETH WITH IT... I GARGLE WITH IT IN MY MOUTH WASH...I HAVE NOT HAD A THING. ALL IS DRY AND NO MORE SYMPTOMS. AND THE COLD HAS CAME HERE IN OHIO... THE MAN WHO WAS 69 WHEN HE STARTED AND ITS BEEN 12 YRS... AND HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE NOT BEEN SICK AT ALL, YOU MOTIVATED ME...THANK YOU SO MUCH

I went on H2O2 for twelve months. All candida symptoms- fatigue, IBS, sore joints, fungal infections reduced then disappeared plus my weight went down by twenty kilos without any dietary changes. I have always eaten correctly but the weight just never came off.

How exactly did this person get rid of their candida? I am curious to find out if it was ingested, and at what dose? also want to know is you can douche with it?

Yes, I too, would like to know the home remedy for relieving intestinal candida. It has been my issue for about 20years, due to sugar overload. I have had periods of relief, through prescription medication and a strict anti-candida diet, but would like to have relief without prescription medication.

I was thinking of ordering 35% Food grade H2O2 when I read Joyce's response. SSKI [potassium iodide] is new to me, so I need more information, please. In what form is it sold and for how long would 8oz last, if used daily? I doubt that in Toronto it would be readily available, however, I will investigate.

To Gloria from Toronto and all others wanting information on SSKI (Saturated Solution Potassium Iodide) For great information on SSKI google "potassium iodide" and pull out Dr. Jonathan Wright's Tahoma Clinic 6 page article on "One Mineral Can Help A Myriad of Conditions from Atherosclerosis to "COPD" to Zits". Also included in his article is it's use in Peyronie's disease, fibrocystic breast problems, and those "just swollen glands" problems in groin & neck area.

Also in a google search, you will find lots of additional information, including sources for both tablets and solutions. It is recommended for thyroid protection in event of nuclear exposure. I suggest they start with Wikipedia for a list of uses for it.

3% Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Toothpaste cures Sinusitus, Tinnitus, Depression, Headache, etc. "Normal" dental hygiene causes all sorts of infections. Your toothbrush is a perfect S. Mutans (caries) culture. 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Toothpaste kills all the S. Mutans bacteria (plaque) which was causing Sinusitus, Tinnitus, Depression, Headaches, etc. My toothbrush is now the cleanest thing in my house, rather than the filthiest. Normal toothpastes are disgusting promoters of S. Mutans. Fie! Fie! Also, go to the dentist and get a good cleaning and alignment. Tooth decay (caries) caused by S. Mutans (plaque) can even lead to brain abscesses!

Do not spend big $$ on chemically created stain removers! A 16 oz bottle of peroxide at Wal-Mart? 97 cents! To quick dry a pimple, use a cotton swab saturated in common household peroxide and dab directly on the pimple several times a day and it'll be gone by the next day. Add 4 oz to your laundry whites for bright results when you're out of bleach. Add 2 oz peroxide per container when steam cleaning your carpets! Hydrogen peroxide can replace any selling product having "OXY" in the title and it'll save you $$. Try it!

I lost a filling and had a cracked tooth with an infection. I sprayed the h2o2 in the infection and it went away. What are you supposed to do with the foam in your mouth? I also spray my entire body with h2o2 after a shower. I am 100 lbs overweight and I am guessing I have all the fat disease like parasites, yeast, low thyroid and such. In addition to the spray, I paint iodine on my skin 2-3x daily. I have not lost weight, but I feel good which is something I have never felt (even when young and skinny).My PMS was not as bad last month.

I read a book about hydrogen peroxide, and started using it for cleaning out my mouth and brushing my teeth. Since the book said that it was harmless, I started swallowing it. I was using regular 3% from the drugstore. I swallowed probably 3-4 fairly large gulps a day for weeks (you do get used to the taste). Sometimes I'd put it in a glass of water and sip at it. My energy level definitely improved, as did my digestion and elimination.

Another time, I put on a white shirt and discovered it had blood stains on it from working out in the yard. The stains was really set since I had washed the shirt. Being too lazy to change shirts, I soaked the spot with straight hydrogen peroxide while still wearing the shirt. The stain was very set but getting a little lighter, so I kept soaking it over and over till the stain was pretty much gone. It seemed like the skin under this soaked shirt was getting softer and lighter. Now about ten days later, you can still see on my skin where the hydrogen peroxide had been soaking it. There's a line across my arm... on the one side my aging sun/weather damaged skin with age spots... on the other side lighter, more supple, soft skin (almost like a baby's skin), with the age spots definitely lighter in color too.

I was reading on here about taking a bath with hydrogen peroxide and it seemed like kind of a good idea in view of the above experience, so I gave that a shot. About 5 hours later now, I feel just generally a little healthier, and the skin on my face feels very soft and is not getting oily as it usually does. I will definitely be doing this several times a week from now on. I used 8 oz of regular 3% from the drugstore in the bath.

I have been drinking h202. 2 capfulls of 3% in a 20oz bottle of water, for about 4 days. The whites of my eyes have been bright. I have more energy and I have none of my usual pre-menstrual symptoms. I just started menstruating today and to my surprise, I had no symptoms. No cramping, no tenderness of my breasts. I haven't changed anything in my life other than drinking the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. I would also love to start on the ACV, but I'm wondering how far apart I should take the 2 remedies. Will one cancel the other out? Please let me know. I just bought my organic ACV yesterday. I'm so excited about the h202, that I can't wait to try the ACV. Thank you for making me feel better.

reply to the ones drinking 3% hydrogen peroxide. You should be using 35% food grade. Please do your home work. Thanks Kathy

Where is food grade H202 found and purchased?

EC: Hi Jane,

You can check out posts here: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/hydrogen_peroxide_where_to_buy.html

Or try Amazon.com or Google Shopping for vendors.

Yes use 35% food grade HP, but make sure you dilute it enough. One capful of 35% is not the same as one capful of 3%! It is far stronger and should be used in drops rather than caps - starting at 1 - 3 drops in a glass of non-chlorinated water.

If you do not know the protocol, check it out on page 1 of this section. It is repeated many times throughout the section, but it's amazing how many people don't read it all through and keep asking the same questions!

3.5% hydrogen peroxide cured skin tags, bacteria in the mouth & moles. Normally have to be burnt off- direct application twice daily causes the skin tag to completely disappear of a period of a week or two. Best mouthwash known to man- whitens your teeth, kills plaque and all mouth bacteria, actually allows receding gumline to stop and start to repair itself. Direct application twice daily has reduced a mole to 1/2 its former size and still shrinking.
