I learned along time ago, that when you feel the 1st sign of a Cold or the Flu, take 1/2 capful of Peroxide, put in your ear, leave in for 2 minutes, empty into a tissue, do the other ear, your chances of getting either is greatly reduced, and if you do get sick, it will be shorter.

I am 71 yrs old, haven't had the Flu since I was 21yrs old. Never had a Flu shot, don't plan on ever having one, people I know get one every year, every year they get the Flu.

The pain happened to me as well. What alleviated the pain was rinsing out my ears with filtered water after draining the peroxide. No more pain for me.

Yes, it works! I also used hydrogen peroxide in my ears when I felt flu symptoms last Friday. I really had the sense that the virus was in my ears! A capful of 3% peroxide emptied slowly into one ear... lay on the carpet and and held the peroxide in that ear until it stopped bubbling. Then shook it out onto a towel and applied to the other ear. Slept beautifully that night and woke up without any virus symptoms.

Wanted to report an ear infection after using hydrogen peroxide in my ears. I can never recall having an ear infection but developed a nasty one after using hydrogen peroxide in my ears to cure a cold.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Yesterday I woke up with early symptoms of the flu. I had chills, body aches, and a headache. I went to work and by mid-day I could no longer stand the feeling so I went home. I read about the hydrogen peroxide cure so I put a few drops in each ear and went to sleep. I woke up about 5 hours later with my headache and chills totally gone and the body ache had reduced about 75%. Wow, I was impressed. So I did a few more drops in each ear hoping to completely kill the virus.

Unfortunately several hours later I experienced the same thing as another reviewer. My right ear began to ache pretty badly. I'm not sure if the peroxide ruptured my ear drum or what but the throbbing was quite bothersome. So I made myself a heat-pack with rice (rice in a sock and microwaved for 25 seconds). I put some cotton in my ear and placed the rice-pack just below my ear lob, as placing it directly onto my ear initially caused pain. After about 30 minutes the heavy throbbing stopped. I fell asleep and the next morning my ear is 95% back to normal. Will try it again tonight. Even though I was impressed with how fast the peroxide significantly subsided my flu symptoms, I will hesitate to use this cure again due to the ear ache it caused. But if this does happen to you, a heat pack will fix the issue.

Peroxide in Ears for Flu

I put a half a dropper of peroxide in one ear at a time for 15-20 minutes. I have a washcloth next to my head to catch the drips once I tilt my head to drain, and then I do the other ear. Peroxide DOES NOT STAIN the pillowcases! I've fallen asleep with peroxide in my ears frequently-- doesn't do any harm. :)

If my sinues are congested, putting hydrogen peroixde in my ears helps my sinuses to drain.

In 2006, I worked in an office where a few women would literally be sick with colds, flu, etc. like every other week. No Joke! Well, they had small children at home and I'm sure this is where they were continuing to pick up viruses from. But they would keep coming to work -they wouldn't call in sick, so they would be coughing, sneezing using the phones, touching fax/copy machines, spreading their germs around continuously on the equipment that we ALL used. SICK of catching their viruses, my friend looked up remedies for the common cold. She found something about peroxide in your ears could stop a cold before it could develop.

Well I tried it, and I have been doing it for the past year and a half every time I feel one coming on. If I feel a sore throat, runny nose, etc coming on I just use a small eye dropper and put about 4-5 drops of 3% peroxide (bought at any drug store) in one ear, (tilt head over the sink) and wait about 2-3 mins until you feel the peroxide stop bubbling and get thru the ear wax. Repeat in other ear. This has saved me so much time, money and kept me side-effect free, that I can't be grateful enough for finding out about it.

This past winter I worked in another office where mostly women worked, and once again kept getting and bringing to work all the winter time viruses for colds and flu. If I felt anything coming on, I just did the peroxide remedy and am happy to say I remained healthy all winter long while surrounded by repeatedly sick co-workers. I told them all about the peroxide in the ear remedy, but they were skeptical and I don't think any of them tried it. Even when I challenged them to the fact that I was the only one in the office who had not been sick at all and had missed no work~

There should be a LAW :)

I really can't believe this. But I'm an insulin dependent diabetic so my immune system is compromised and I get more colds. I felt a cold coming on but I have two finals next week and a thesis due the week after. In addition, I'm working and have my job duties to attend to too. Basically, I CAN NOT get sick. I found a great apple cider vinegar cure when I got a bad bout of food poisoning from this site and decided to see if there was anything on how to prevent that developing cold in its tracks. Well, I found the hydrogen peroxide remedy. It sounded completely crazy, but I figured what the hell - why not try it? It's cheap and at least my ears would be cleaner ;-) I tried it. I bought some peroxide on the way to the library. I set my cell phone timer for 10 minutes, had some tissue handy, tilted my head to the side, poured the peroxide in (I bought a small bottle with that has a nozzle so it was easy) and let the peroxide go to work. I switched ears and then did it again on both sides for about 5 to 10 minutes for each ear. It worked! That itchy throat I had is gone. That feeling that I was going to wake up sick tomorrow is gone. I truly can't believe it but I'll be doing this again at the first sign of a cold. This is great!

I am in my first year at college, and I am 4 hours away from home! Now when I get sick, it is a huge priority to get better as soon as possible so that I don't miss any class and my mom is not here to take care of me!! My friend and I got sick on approximately the same day with a terrible stuffy nose that led to a sore throat and headache that resulted from so much sniffling.

My mom sent me the link to hydrogen peroxide therapy and with a little apprehension, I added the h2o2 in the ears, nose, and gargle to my vitamin c and oil of oregano cure. By the next day my stuffy nose was completely gone and by day 2 my voice was practically back to normal and NO sore throat. Now i'm at day 4 and perfectly normal and happy.

P.s. My friend is taking vitamins as well as antibiotics and she is still sick! Now if that isn't a testament to the power of h2o2, I don't know what is!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
