Hydrogen Peroxide - Acne HelpQuestion by Anonymous (Anonymous) on 08/22/2011
Thank you so much for your post about HP on the earthclinic website. I came across the website searching for acne remedies.
I just started using HP and it has cleared up my acne fast. However, I am worried about it's long term health risks. I know you explained in your post that pharma companies point out dangers of HP so their business isn't jeopardized. But I am still very worried because I have read on numerous other websites that our skin cells are similar to microbes/bacteria etc so when hp kills those it kills our skin cells also (including www.acne.org website.) Please advise me on this. Is it safe to use HP 2/3 times a day every single day On the bottle it says 'do not use more than 7 days.'
Also, I have started rinsing my mouth with it too. Is that also completely safe
Thank you SO much for your time

One word of warning (and this comes from many of my clients asking me to post this warning): Do not take accutane (or isoretinoin), it will cause lifetime disability, even briefly.

I feel my acne coming back when I don't apply hp. But I'll try the alternate days idea. Thanks for the accutane warning, I stopped short of taking it and turned to natural remedies. I am 24 and like many acne sufferers tried everything I could to get rid of acne but it kept coming back. My dermatologist prescribed doxycycline and differin. The doxycycline wreaked havoc on my digestive system by killing all the good probitic bacteria also. I noticed that cutting out foods containing hydrogenated oils helped me but acne came back. So only things I discovered that helped are benzoyl peroxide, acv, epsom salt(as face wash) and HP. HP I decided to use because acv didn't get rid of my acne completely and it was coming back. I am afraid same might happen with HP.
I can't find the reason behind my acne. I feel it's the water where I live or something in the environment and not that my blood is toxic. But I'm not sure. This is because I'm in the U.S. But when I go to the U.K. my acne disappears! I installed a chlorine shower filter and am hoping that helps.
So you are saying that hp does kill skin cells and shouldn't be used every day but is safe if used on alternate days I am still confused on whether I should keep using it or not. It has definitely helped with my red marks. My acne is like red bumps and mainly on cheeks and chin. Forehead is clear. I feel dandruff is playing a role too and my skin becomes very dry and flaky in the U.S.
Also, I think I have low oxygen in my blood but am too scared to take it orally. I feel this because as a teenager I had red cheeks (a nice, healthy flush) which slowly disappeared but came back when I worked out even for a few minutes. However, I have been running 2 miles per day and the blood flow is not getting to my cheeks.
Again, any more advice from you esp on hp use every day will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you"

No, I meant taken orally. Apply on face it can be applied without problems, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide used topically application is between 0.5% to 1.5%, with median use around 1% to 1.5%. You won't notice much with 0.5%
Also, I think I have low oxygen in my blood but am too scared to take it orally.
If I feel taking orally is dangerous, consider will I drink if hydrogen peroxide 3% in a swimming pool tank will harm Or one drop 3% in one liter will harm me. If the answer is no, I will try that concentration and slowly increase the concentration.

For a diet that goes against all dis-ease check out the Raw Food Diet, good websites to start with are FitOnRaw. Com, FredericPatenaude. com, and JinjeeTalifero.com.
The internet is full of misleading information. H2O2 is a great alternative medicine and I would read The One Minute Cure website before beLIEving in anything some random commenter says.
Best of Luck!
