5 out of 5 stars

I have been looking all over the Web for Specific Information on Nebulizing Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide and haven't had much success finding very good quality information, I have decided to write up what I have been doing in regards to Nebulizing Hydrogen Peroxide recently.

I have had quite severe Asthma for over 30 years and have had my fair share of trips to the Emergency Department, one trip in the back of an Ambulance to Hospital after 5 Ventolin nebs one after another didn't work!!! I've been on the Steroids, Ventolin, Preventers and all the other stupid stuff that the Medical Industry of $$$ motivated incompetence has provided us with.

I have been able to get on top of my Asthma in the past few years by Cleaning up my diet (Mostly Organic food), Lung Herbs, Doing repeated Dr Schulze Bowel, Liver and Kidney Cleanses, some Juice Fasting etc, etc...

Just recently I had been having quite a few problems with my chest for the past two months which started with some sort of Cold/Flu which got into my chest and then a particularly bad Hayfever season we have had this year. I even had to start using Ventolin again which I haven't used for the past 3-4 years.

Well after a few months of my chest messing me around and me starting to get annoyed because it wasn't getting better, so I decided to do something about my chest. One of the things I started researching was Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation Therapy so I decided to try it for myself.

Now for me, Nebulizing Hydrogen Peroxide makes the most sense because it's going to penetrate most deeply into the lungs and help wipe out any nasties that may be lurking in there, but the question is, how much to Hydrogen Peroxide to use without irritating the already sensitive lungs.

So this is what I did, over 3 - 4 days, I nebulized 5ml of Distilled Water plus 5 - 10 drops of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide whenever I started wheezing and experimented with taking a puff of Ventolin Inhaler 10 Minutes Before or After a H2O2 Nebulizer if I felt I needed it.

What I did find is the Hydrogen Peroxide Nebs did seem to make the Ventolin more effective and my consumption of Ventolin did decrease quite significantly once I started the H2O2 Nebs.

The only useful instructions I could find on the web about Nebulizing H202 was on Curezone which was 5 - 7 drops of 3% Food Grade H202 in 5ml's of distilled water which is what I have been doing.

I have tried 10 drops of 3% H2O2 but did find it slightly irritating so I would recommend 5 - 7 drops of even start with 1 drop of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide and work up to 7 drops.

For a Chest Infection with lot's of Mucous I'd possibly try 10 Drops of H2O2 to help try to break up the Mucous as quick as possible, but if your suffering from Allergy/Lung Irritation as I was, would stick with 1 - 7 drops of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide.

First of all, if you have 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, lock it away in a cupboard a long, long way from your nebulizer to make sure there are no Accidents!!!

Only have 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide near your Nebulizer, and pay attention if your going to try this stuff, because 3% Hydrogen Peroxide is still going to be quite irritating to the lungs if you breath it in using a Nebulizer.

Now for the Maths, this was the most annoying part of my Foray in Nebulizing Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, because I wanted to know what Percentage of H2O2 was I taking by adding 5 - 10 H2O2 Drops to a 5ml Neb.

From my research 1 drop can equal 0. 045 - 0. 055 ml, but I am going to assume that 1 drop = 0. 05 ml

So then we can say 1 drop or 0. 05 ml of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide contains 0. 0015ml of Hydrogen Peroxide.

So in the Table Below I'm going to show how much Hydrogen Peroxide is in a 5ml Distilled Water Neb up 10 drops.

5ml Neb 1 Drop 3% H2O2 = 5.05ml Total 0. 0015ml or 0.029% H202
5ml Neb 2 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.10ml Total 0. 0030ml or 0.058% H202
5ml Neb 3 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.15ml Total 0. 0045ml or 0.087% H202
5ml Neb 4 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.20ml Total 0. 0060ml or 0.115% H202
5ml Neb 5 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.25ml Total 0. 0075ml or 0.142% H202
5ml Neb 6 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.30ml Total 0. 0090ml or 0.169% H202
5ml Neb 7 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.35ml Total 0. 0105ml or 0.196% H202
5ml Neb 8 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.40ml Total 0. 0120ml or 0.222% H202
5ml Neb 9 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.45ml Total 0. 0135ml or 0.247% H202
5ml Neb 10 Drops 3% H2O2 = 5.50ml Total 0. 0150ml or 0.272% H202

So from the above Table, we can see that percentage of Hydrogen Peroxide is very low and is well below the 0.5% used in the Rats with Cancer Experiment.

To do a 0.5% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Neb, then add 20 drops of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide to 5ml of Steam Distilled Water.

To do a 1% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Neb, then add 50 drops of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide to 5ml of Steam Distilled Water.

So for my experience with Nebulizing 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide and 5ml of Steam Distilled Water. My Peak Flows had ranged from 260 on my worst day to 450 on the last day and were quite Variable. I would cough up little bits of almost clear phlegm after each Neb. A week later I was able to blow 490 on the Peak Flow and have been able to go back to Bikram Yoga and haven't had to take Ventolin since.

I did take Peak Flow Readings Before and After each neb, but never had any conclusinve results. I found that sometimes the H2O2 Neb lowered my Peak Flow Readings afterwards and sometimes they increased.

What I did find is that when I did take my Ventolin Inhaler, it did seem to be more effective and which meant I wasn't having Ventolin as offen as I was before I started H2O2. Also I couldn't feel the other things(side Effects) Ventolin does to me when I take it.

So now we have some structured information on Nebulizing 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide in 5ml of Steam Distilled water, I'd love to hear what other people experience if they try this.

Hello Kimosabi: I followed your schedule and put 4 drops of 3% HP into 5mls of distilled water. It had a dramatic effect on his peak flow right after the treatment.

Thanks for the info.

Scott

I started to use fghp 3 percent last sunday the mucus turned watery the nose started running like a faucet and filled my lungs and I started my neb which stops my the runny nose. Now I started my rescue maxair and after a week I am back to control but want to know how to proceed. The amount I took was neb inhaler 6 puffs x 2 times a day hp fg 3 percent is that to little and I have to start larger dose. I fear it will make my mucus water and nose run and this is my biggest fear. Please, please do help me. Thanks

Hi. I am similar to yourself. I tried the HP (food grade) 3% and watered it down a little with medical purified water to see how I reacted. So far, I have had four puffs once a day over two days. Since this, I have not stopped producing clear phlegm that I am having to cough up and my asthma seems to be aggravated.

Do I continue? Is this normal for some people? Should I cut out the extra water and just do the 3%? I would be grateful for any advice please, because at the moment, I don't fancy carrying on, but I see so many benefits from others testimonials.
Many thanks

Hi how many times a day should I do this for mucus in my lungs and shortness of breath, how drastic will this change peak flow readings? I need about 100 more. Also at what strength for great results?

How many puff do you take from the mechanical Neubulizer or do you wait and nebulize the entire 5 ml - mixture?
