Hydrogen Peroxide as a Natural Remedy: Benefits and Precautions

For everybody using (or wanting to use ) Hydrogen Peroxide internally, find out everything about it (don't use the one from your drugstore shelf). For example: there are foods that are absolutely not allowed within the 3 hours window while ingesting Peroxide!

Good luck!

Douglas, extra oxygen won't "damage" enzymes, it could only reduce their number. To be safe, you could start w/ 2 drops "once" daily. Don't be fearful, H2O2 use appears to be quite safe for everyone. Most modern human illnesses seem to stem from "lack" of Oxygen. Dr. Mcabe's book Flood Your Body With Oxygen is devoted to the use of Ozone as well as H2O2. His journalist style could have used more pragmatic approaches, but it is an informative read. There are other books devoted to oxygen theropies. For health maintenace use antioxident supplements like selenium, vit-C & E, then include small dose H2O2 for daily use. If you don't have any major illness like cancer, you don't need to go large H2O2 daily.

TimH,

Thanks for the reply. Does it mean that if you start off with high dosage of H2O2, it could damage the enzymes and be counter productive? 2 drops of 35% three times a day and increase by a drop everyday, correct?

P from Middle, Thanks for the link.

Here is a link that I found doing a google search. it is interesting, I too am curious and researching so the day I finally buy it; I know what to do.

Plus go to the remedy section on this page and read up on it too!

Douglas, the human body has a number of enzymes that do nothing but protect cells from oxidative damage. If you had a congenital disorder where you could not produce sufficient enzymes (superoxide dismutase being of great importance), you would be in trouble. This is why it is recommended to start with 2 drop dose and slowly work your way up. To boost your natural defense enzymes, consume raw sprouts as they are loaded.

I have a very basic question on the internal use of Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide.

Since H2O2 supplies extra oxygen molecure to the cells, is it possible that it might cause oxidative damage to the internal organs?
Does it in anyway increase free radicals in the body?

Is it safer to take some anti-oxidants also when doing the H2O2 therapy (a few hours later)? Some universal anti-oxidant such as R-ALA might help, perhaps?
I want to start drinking H2O2 but am a little concerned about the possible oxidation/free radicals issue. I do not have any health issues but want to start taking H2O2 for extra energy and as a preventative measure.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ted, wondering if stopping my H2O2 has any side effects. Because I have this fluid in my elbow that won't go away. Been to a doctor have done physical theropy not any help. My doctor said that my job and my age (49) I just have to deal with it. I can't believe I have to accept this condition (bursitis) which I think might have come from stopping my useage of H2O2.

I was at 10 drops 2 times a day -- had to stop couldn't tapper off. Do you think H2O2 may be my problem? if so how do I correct this?

I'm a student and "on the go" a lot. I like to have a bottle of clean water with me. Is it safe for me to put my water with the peroxide in it in my stainless steel canteen, or will it react to the metal? Should I bring my water along in glass or plastic instead?

How are you doing now? Are you still using the H202? And if you are still using it are you at the same dosage? Hope you are doing well.

I use Hydrogen peroxide, 3% foodgrade, in my household in ears, to stop flu like symptoms and it works a treat. My children like the bubbling sound and it often soothes them into a slumber. Empty ear out after 10 minutes or so, or when it stops fizzing.

I spray h2o2 foodgrade 3% in my throat. It gives me energy. It does not interfere with eating time, because I spray little but several times a day.

It is also great as a rinse for cleaning your mouth/ teeth. A very good way to see how healthy your mouth is. Infections are cleared up in a jiffy. Tongue gets cleaned properly. Leave it in your mouth for a while, then spit out. Do not swallow.

I happily suggest this to people with bad breath. It will work in getting rid of bacteria.

Acne. A cotton ball or qtip with H2O2, touch the acne, it will bubble and clean and will dry the acne fast.

Thank you earth clinic for all the info and all the time you put into processing the results. It is awesome!

Where can I find the info about how much to take and how often and when? I have come to understand about getting the 35% h202.

thanks, Kurt

Rinsing with hydrogen peroxide on a regular basis can cause black hairy tongue. Google it. It's a really gross condition where your tongues papilla become infected, elongated and discolored.... And the main cause is regular use of mouth rinse containing peroxide. There are natural mouth rinses available if you dont like listerine. Don't be cheap and risk getting something gross like black hairy tongue.

How on EARTH can you tolerate the taste of even 8 drops of h202 in 8 oz. of water?? I just tried it & thought I was gonna hurl everything I've eaten since 1972! That has to be the worst tasting substance ever! Is there some way I can disguise the taste?? I really would like to try this. I was diagnosed way back in 1997 with HS2, but never having had a "real" outbreak, I truly wondered if I had been misdiagnosed.. And since I've always had cold sores, I wondered if I would have tested positive, anyway. Not sure on that...

So now I've had my first full-blown OB.. And I am NOT amused. I actually thought I had a yeast infection, because at first all it was was intense itching. Got some Monostat 2, used it once, and OMG had the WORST reaction ever.. It felt like someone had poured kerosene inside me (along with itching powder! ) and lit a match to my vajayjay. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER. Worst $15. I ever begged my husband to spend on me! Threw that junk away. Wasn't til today I realized what that itching was, and only because I also got that familiar tingling sensation... (hadn't had any sort of "incident" since 2004, and that was just a pinprick-sized bump that tingled but that never amounted to anything worse).
At any rate, would love to know how some of you disguise that God-awful taste, so I could try this therapy, too... thanks so much, and you guys rock!

P.S.-- Can I also use H202 on the vaginal opening, as well as the labia, as long as I don't get it IN me? I don't want to hurt my tender bits. :P Thanks!

I would be very concerned about taking Alpha Lipoic Acid if as stated it chelates copper and iron. These are two very important minerals for the body. Copper as I understand it is one of the most important minerals.

Both of your symptoms indicate that the "lens" of your inner eyeballs could be getting clouded over by cataract-like distortions.... possibly due to the h2o2 free radical damage [?].

There is a protein-glycogen substace called acetyl-L-cysteine [spelling?] that is being used as eye drops to reverse cataracts. Improves about 75% of people who try it.

search it on a scroogle search.

Remedies Especially for Cataracts

*The use of carrots is considered beneficial in the treatment of cataract. Take plenty of raw carrots daily or else drink two glasses of fresh carrot juice, one each in the morning and evening.

*Eat two or three cloves of raw garlic daily to clean the crystalline lens of the eye. The cloves should be chewed slowly.

*Extract the juice of pumpkin flowers and apply externally on the eyelids twice daily to prevent further clouding of the crystalline lens.

*Mix an equal quantity of aniseed and coriander powder together with one teaspoon of brown sugar, and take the mixture in doses of 12 grams in the morning and evening.

*Place a few drops of raw organic honey in the eyes twice or more each day. This is an ancient Egyptian remedy which is reported to have benefitted many people with cataracts.

*Finely grind seven kernels of raw almonds together with half a gram of black pepper and place in a half cup of water. Sweeten with raw honey and drink the mixture to help the eyes regain vigor and clarity.

*Twice daily, close your eyes and bathe them with hot (but not scalding) water containing Epsom salts. In addition, take an Epsom salts bath at least twice a week. Remain in the bath from twenty-five to thirty-five minutes till you perspire freely. After the bath, cool off gradually.

When it comes to eye remedies, the best results may well come from combining one or more of the suggested remedies.

ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a small organic molecule with a disultide bond. It is a superb antioxidant that is soluble in both water and fat. ALA is an important coenzyme for the production of acetyl coenzyme A. Dihydorlipoic acid (DHLA), it's reduced form, is an electron donor that recycles other fundamental antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione). ALA and DHJLA are superb free radical scavenger themselves because they neutralize peroxyle radicals [36], hydroxyl radicals [39] and singlet oxygen [38].

ALA is also a metal chelator that removes mercury from tissues [17], prevents calcium oxalate crystals (stones) from forming in the kidneys [21, chelates copper [28], and removes arsenic [18].

Lately, there has been a great explosion in ALA research. The lipoic acid/dihydrolipoic acid redox couple inhibits viral replication by stabilizing the NFK beta transcription factor [4], blocks the development of cataracts [24], protects the kidneys form aminoglycoside damage [35], insulates the pancreatic islet cells form inflammatory assault [7], inhibits thymocyte apoptosis [8], and stimulates the production of helper T cells [15]. In addition, the toxic side effects of cancer chemotherapy can be attenuated with the use of ALA [5] and it protects bone marrow from free radical damage secondary to ionizing radiation. [33].

I just read a post where Ted said not to use HP with ACV, that it will negate some of the good effects of the ACV. He said it should be taken 6 hours apart. It was on the "Remedy Combinations" page.

We had been using food grade hydrogen peroxide in a humidifier for many months.

My nearsightedness has suddenly gotten worse for near distance, for example, signs in supermarkets. My boyfriends' eyes have gotten a lot worse in conditions of glare and haze, he had photosensitivity before but it has become a big problem.

We stopped using the hydrogen peroxide in the humidifier because that is the only new variable.

Does anyone know if hydrogen peroxide caused these problems? At no time did our eyes feel irritated or did I feel he was putting in too much. If damage was caused, what would reverse it?

Use tamanu oil.

Hi Angel, tap water if fine to drink. In the ears you use the 3% H202 about 1-2 drops. You can use the stabilized, that is ok. It will fizz and then stop. Lily.

Hi Janna, I would not be increasing the H202 for your children, they are only 2 and 3 yrs old. Most people are taking H202 for cancer and viruses not food allergies. I suggest you don't give your children the foods they are allergic to and leave it at that. I also think you are taking far too much H202 whilst breastfeeding.

Hello Derek, are you sure your friend doesn't have a middle ear infection?

My friend john had a massive ear wax build up problem fall of 2009. He was applying 3% peroxide for sometimes hours a day and the problem stabilized for awhile. However, now, he frequently gets a feeling that his head is boiling. When he stays in the shower for more than a minitue or two, he gets very dizzy and almost acts drunk. He has consulted a few doctors for a remedy and has had no luck. I'm afraid he might get in a car accident or worse if this continues and am asking anybody who can help to contact me at derekrfay(at)yahoo.com. Thank you!

Hi there,

Well now my children's stools like orange redish, and my 3 year old that only wears a daiper while she is sleeping went in her diaper before I could get to her. I would definetly say her body is cleaning out, but is there any way possible I am harming her with the h202? Please I am deseperate to know. There is still redness in her private parts and I don't know what else I need to do.

Thanks, Janna

Good day sir,

Finally I found someone to help me give this to my children. I have a 3 and 2 year old and I'm nursing a 3 month old. I have been taking h202 for a week and I'm at 10x3. My children are not past 2x3 becuase I'm not sure about there bowel movements. My son and daughter both have food intolerences/allergies to dairy, wheat, and sugar. That is the case for my husband and I as well. My children's stools are very soft and my son (more severe case) had liquid stool for a day or so. Not sure if it was the cheddar cheese or the h202.

When should I see improvment?

Am I hurting them?

How high can I go with them?

What are the risk taking it while nursing and giving it to my young children?

Thank so much in advance for your wisdom, availablity, and kindness in answering my questions.

Thank you, Janna

I read a lot of testimonies on EC and found it quite amazing how everyone is getting cured with the use of h2o2. I would like to start it but have a few questions-

1.Where can I buy distilled water as I stay in Dubai?

2.If I start the inhalation method do I have to drink only distilled water or tap water is fine.

3.If I want to put in my ears what % of h2o2 is good and is it ok if it has stabilizers in it and do I have to dilute it?

Hi, You guys have probably found the answer by now. Whilst the strength of your dosage is dependent on your condition and its severity, you could do 5 drops of 35% Food grade hydrogen peroxide with 6 - 8 ounces of water. You can take this every day. There are other regiments you can go on for this and other conditions. Here is one I found http://www.foodgrade-hydrogenperoxide.com/ there is a free ebook you can download.

Good luck

pls can I use the hydrogen peroxide found in drug stores for acne. thank you earth clinic for the wonderful info.

Debbie, make sure that you have no food in your stomach when taking H202, I made the mistake a few times of taking this even worst after eating carbs. Carbs remove oxygen from your body, and H202 will have a reaction, I was very sick vomited a lot too.

Try to take it at least 1 hour before eating and at least 2-3 hours after eating

Hi Tricia, I was reading about your mucous and throat issues. I was told allergies can cause a person to have mucous drainage and especially when you sleep and once you wake up in the morning you can have a sore throat from the drainage. So I treated my allergies naturally and no longer have the drainage. Of course you also need to remove things from your home etc to get rid of the cause and not just treat the symptoms. Something that had also helped me temporarilly was using a Neti Pot with uniodized salt water. Or you can snort in one nostril at a time Goldenseal powder in small amounts to treat upper resp. infections and sinus infections. I use Elderberry especially for this. Hope these thoughts help some. Also as a side note: re Hydrogen Peroxide. Please whom ever reads this please make sure it is the Food Grade HP not something from the pharmacy that you use internally! A good safe source of food grade hydrogen peroxide is through Dr Hulda Clark's store. Do a search you will find it.

Corpoverde from Malate, Manila, Philippines:

My aunt suffers from the same type of cancer and we have been giving her apricot seeds (laetril) along with transfer factor plus. They removed the tumor 1 year ago and has not come back. Hope this helps...

Hydrogen Peroxide Skin Burn

I burned myself with the FGHP on my finger. My finger swelled so that I could not bend it at the joint, turned white and felt like a flame burn.

After going online to look for a remedy, I saw a comment by a nurse to rinse in salt water. I actually put a tablespoon of salt in a cup of warm water to dissolve it and let my finger soak for 10 minutes. The pain, swelling, and most of the white skin was gone.

I have exactly the same concerns, Nd questions about h2o2. Are 3 hours after food intake long enough? And is it good, of harmful to take vit-c? and after which time? many thanks for answering...

Does anyone know if this comment above is of real concern?????

"If you want to benefit from the hydrogen peroxide it must not be allowed to react with food. Even if small food remnants are present, potentially dangerous free radical oxidation products of H2O2 enter the circulation".

I am very keen to start H202 therapy, given many ailments, but am also nervous about long term damage.

Thanks for a great site.

Oxidative Therapies With Hydrogen Peroxide Treatments

According to The Doctor's Medical Library at: http://www.medical-library.net/sites/framer.html?/sites/_iv_hydrogen_peroxide_therapy.html,

hydrogen peroxide also has been found to dissolve cholesterol and calcium deposits associated with atherosclerosis. Therefore, it can be used to treat vascular disorders which may result in lessening or disappearance of angina, leg pain and dizziness. It also can help reverse some of the damage left over by a stroke, if treatment is instituted early enough. Oxidative therapies are valuable, preventative, arresting disease processes, but not necessarily curative.

Hydrogen peroxide treatments can be intravenous or oral. Hydrogen peroxide's chemical formula is H2O2. It contains one more atom of oxygen that does water (H20). In the body the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen. Because the human body produces some of its own hydrogen peroxide, and hydrogen peroxide is also found in water and fresh food of plant origin, hydrogen peroxide is a part of the food chain. Treating the body with hydrogen peroxide is viewed as a natural treatment with a nutrient.

If you take it orally, you may dilute ten drops of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in an eight ounce cup of water, two or three times each day, on an empty stomach (at least three hours after you had something to eat).

If you want to benefit from the hydrogen peroxide it must not be allowed to react with food. Even if small food remnants are present, potentially dangerous free radical oxidation products of H2O2 enter the circulation. For this reason intravenous hydrogen peroxide treatment are
superior.

Hi All~thanx for your advice and stories. I'm on day 3 of the HP 35% food grade therapy (with colloidal silver) 3 x a day and am so excited. I am suffering from Eppstein Barr and intestinal and bladder issues. I am hoping this will do the trick and will keep you all posted. I too am taking 1TBSP of ACV with 1TBSP of olive leaf extract seperately 3 times a day. The olive leaf makes the ACV much more manageable to swollow. Warm Regards

To Joslyn, I had to chuckle when reading your post, because it sounded like me. I was so proud when I finally got the nerve to purchase the 35% HP (lucky I found some locally), stuck it in the freezer, and like you left it there for quite a while, lol. Kept trying to get up the nerve to at least dilute it. I think it was in there about 6 months, and then just recently I made up a 3% batch of it, put a nice label on it and that's as far as I've gotten so far, lol. I have had the nerve to try the borax in a liter of water, but only drink a small glass of it here and there. Never a whole liter in a day--I want to start doing at least that though. I would like to know if even just one drop of the hydrogren peroxide in the liter of borax water would be of benefit. If so, I think I could bring myself to at least start there. I want to thank Ben and others for sharing their experiences, that is so helpful. I'd also like to share that I use a spoonful of sauerkraut before any meal or snack--I'm not sure what it does, but it really seems to help.

Julie - The recommendation for internal use has only been for Food Grade H2O2. The regular over the counter stuff generally has additives in it that you don't want to take internally. Many health food stores stock the Food Grade.

Some good info on how to take H2O2 safely and effectively. For eg. 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking H2O2 you should avoid certain food or supplements, or you may end up damaging your stomach, even with the proper dilution.

ZERO Vitamin C (even in multi-vitamins), ZERO iron supplements, ZERO fats, dilute heavily with water and always take on an empty stomach.

I bought a 500ml of a 10 volumes H2O2. How do you make it 3%?

Pls email me with the reply? thanks

Hi good to hear someone is using hydrogen peroxide. I use it for brushing my teeth with baking soda. It's the main ingredient in tooth whitening products so its all good. I only use it a few times a week. I also have it in a spray bottle in a 3% diluted mixture and use it for a number of remedies. Great for killing nasty bacteria. I also spray it down my ear when I get a sore ear and throat and it bubbles and lie down for 10 minutes then tip it out and it heals the ear. Sorry I went off track a bit. Get excited when good products help people. :o)

Just started with 3% solution mouthwash, Initially, there was a lot of foam and bubbles coming out from my gums and tongue. Must be the bacteria being killed by the H2O2. Subsequently after three days of rinsing twice a day, my swollen gums have receeded and the sore on the side of my tongue has turned white and the pain diasappeared. Even my toothache was gone. Except for the tingling sensation on the tongue, the only other unpreferred sensation was the taste. So I mixed it with a few drops of astringosol to have that minty taste. Is this OK? Has anyone out there tried this?

The reason I'm about to try to ingest 0.006% H2O2 solution in distilled water is to try it first on myself and eventually recomend it to my younger brother (aged 48) who is now suffering from an advanced stage of a brain stem glioblastoma (worst kind of brain cancer) and an uncle who has a stage IV liver cancer. My love for them urges me to try alternative treatments knowing that the medical treatments (chemotherapy and radiation) they are undergoing now tend to accelerate their death rather than preserving their life. If by chance any of you out there have had any successes in treating brain and liver cancer through H2O2 treatment, I'd like to know more about it. I'd consider your inputs as God-sent and as answer to my hourly prayer for my kins' survival. It is sad to watch helplessly how this Big C decimates your family.

Here in Europe you can take quite a lot of liquids in the bad you check in, no one searches them, the only restrictions are on the liquids you carry in the cabin, other than liquids you buy at the free shop. I suppose this was done in order to keep people from taking stuff with them because now they have to buy things in their own shops. I can't believe that this has any connection with terrorist, to be honest..... And so do a lot of people over here! As you are not allowed to take drinks or food you have to buy everything at the airports!

Hydrogen Peroxcide

I had been out in the sun for about 2 hours and decided to come in before I got burnt. About 2 hours later I was lopster red, unable to lie down or sit - the pain was unbearable. I was untouchable & red with a very bad case case of sunburn. A friend said to use h-p.

At that time I was game to try anything no matter how silly it sounded. But in 20 minutes I went from bering untouchable to being able to be slapped on the back without any pain. Plus an added benefit For the first time in my life, I kept the tan and did not peel. The fresher the h-p, the better.

The worst part was it felt ice cold when I applied it.

The quick answer - no, you're only allowed 3.4 ounces. However, hydrogen peroxide has been around forever and I don't see why you would have any trouble finding it at any number of stores or pharmacies in South America.
