My husband and I have started on the H20. We are up to nine drops in distilled water. Is is ok to premix it in distilled water in smaller bottles? My husbands schedule is so crazy as a trucker I thought could mix it before he goes so he can have it handy during his drive.

Also if you miss a day should you start over from 3 drops? Already we both feel our breathing is better and I have much more energy. Thank you in advance

hydrogen peroxide actually is a safe alternative to bleach LOL for those of us who want lighter/blonder hair it works awesome to lighten it up... I just spray 3% on certain areas or do strands... sitting in the sun helps more ;-) alternating with lemon juice can get you some nice highlights...

Dechlorinating Water

Posted by Marla (Atlanta, Georgia, Usa) on 02/25/2011

We all know that chlorine is in most tap water, and that it's not good for us. Furthermore, when chlorine meets water or H2O2, it generates chlorine gas, which is deadly and was used as a chemical weapon by the Germans in World War I (this is the awful smell you get when cleaning with bleach water and why you should use it in well-ventilated areas emedicine.medscape.com/article/820779-overview). Because of this, it is not safe to add hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to chlorinated tap water and drink it right down for your oxygen therapy.

However, if your water ph is 7.0 or higher, H2O2 can be used to dechlorinate the water first, allow the chlorine gas to escape (www.h2o2.com/industrial/applications.aspx?pid=107&name=Dechlorination), and then the water will be safe to use for oxygen/hydrogen peroxide therapy.

Further, it only takes a single drop per gallon to dechlorinate most drinking water. (See below for math ) I have not been able to discover the time necessary for the chlorine to be fully liberated, so to be safe, I would agitate the water periodically and not use it for 24 hours or so.

How I calculated 1 drop per gallon:

1.8mg/l Cl common post-treatment level (check with your water provider for specifics)

100000 gal H2Orequires 0.2 gal 50% H202 to dechlorinate (www.h2o2.com/Calculator.aspx)

There are 90840 drops in a gallon

0.2 gal = 18168 drops 50% H2O2 to treat 100000 gal H2O with Cl

Moving the decimal gets us 1.8168 drops for 10.0000 gal

3% H2O2 is 16.666% strength of 50% H2O2, so 3% hydrogen peroxide requires 6x amount of 50%

10.9008 drops for 10 gal = 1 drop per gallon

Simple and cheap to dechlorinate your tap water at home!

George from Melbourne, your story and Ben's are interesting. I just want to tell you that Kefir is a much better probiotic than anything you can buy in the stores. It is a type of yogurt with much more live enzymes. The starter can be purchased on ebay for about $10 shipped. It is miraculous stuff that makes you feel great and gives lots of energy. It seems to me that one aspect that many people ignore when taking h2o2 and large amounts of iodine, is that these substances kill off bacteria and probably all the good bacteria too. Without intestinal flora to break down food you can feel very unwell. I only started taking kefir a week ago along with large doses of iodine (at different times of the day of course) and I noticed the difference very soon after. I had been taking very expensive probiotics before that. I am now starting the h202 treatment, gone up to 16 drops of food grade 35% in three days and so far no negative reactions.

The difficulty is a herximer reaction. AKA detox. I usually power through those, but you can reduce your dose to make it more tolerable. There's always the chance that that therapy is not for you, we are all different, but that is up to you to decide.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

Hi all

I started using H2o2 about 5 months ago and within 3 weeks I had felt the best I had in 10 years.

I had so much more energy, mental sharpness and much less joint pain. This continued for about 3 months. However I started to go backwards and in the last 6-8 weeks I feel I have gone back to where I was. Part of it may be the fact that I was doing much more work and proably pushed myself a bit. I have been on a dose of between 7 and 15 drops 3 x a day.

Can anyone provide any suggestions or reasons why I may have regressed as I was feeling absolutly amazing and want to get back to where I was.

Thanks

Mmsg:

HP does get diluted. We started with 3 drops and gradually increased to 25 drops in a glass of water. My brother (65) who is one of the healthiest people that I know, has been taking HP for years. He takes a teaspoon full in a beer mug of water every morning. He has no side-effects and is of the opinion that 25 drops is too little. 1 teaspoon is equal to 99 drops.

Warning!! store bought 3% Hydrogen Peroxide.

You must have 35% FOOD GRADE. Food Grade is free of chemical binders and other junk molecules that are put is the 3% H2O2's sold over the counter at pharmacies and grocery stores.

EC: Per Ted (found in the introductory section of hydrogen peroxide):

Ted from Bangkok writes, "There is a simple way to see if Hydrogen Peroxide contains stabilizers: Pour 1/2 cap of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water. If the color has yellow (or other off colors), it has a stabilizer. It is best to set it out in the sun where it is easier to see. If the H202 remains colorless when mixed in a glass of water, it usually does not have a stabilizer.

Almost all H2O2 sold in drug stores will have stabilizers, actually to discourage people to use them internally. So you can use this as a way to compare them. Basically, H2O2 poured into a clean glass and left out in a sun covered by a dish should not have air bubbles. If it does, there are metal contaminants. If you are asking for trouble, a drop of ammonia solution in H2O2 mixed in water will cause a rapid air bubble generation. It is more unstable if it has stabilizers. You can try the experiment and compare the results.

The test for this is not perfect one, but the key is the color, even when you add just a small amount of water in direct sunlight. Also, a good quality H2O2 doesn't get small bubbles during storage.

By the way, an easy way to test the quality of your drinking water is to add 10% of 3% H2O2 to 90% Water and perform the test by noticing air bubbles. If there are a lot of air bubbles for the next 6 hours, then the water has either too much organic residues OR heavy metals. During the test please keep in places AWAY from children. After the test immediately discard the contents into the sink. Ted"

Richard,

You've got to be joking, Get off of Lisa's back! I have 2 jumbo containers of Topical Solution Hydrogen Peroxide, it also says “oral debriding agent for use as a gargle or rinse”. Ingredients Hydrogen Peroxide 3% and Purified Water. Two different companies same ingredients Walgreens and Walmart. Guess what without stabilizers the O2 evolves out over time and you will have to buy more ... Companies like that. But if you are a small company trying to spread the good word about the healing value of common household products you might find a Peroxide product or 2 with “stabilizers” and emphasize that in your presentation so you can have some cash flow and thus continue to preach practical good health to the masses.

I just reviewed 5 different 3% Topical Hydrogen Peroxide's on Amazon all of them had the same ingredient listing Purified water and Hydrogen Peroxide. Also odds are very good that those “stabilizers” you are so frightened of, if you can find them, are already in your diet elsewhere but you shamed poor Lisa for nothin.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Posted by Tina (Vancouver, Canada) on 06/02/2009

Just thought I would give a little update. I have been on the HP oral therapy now for 4 months and am doing well. Since I have started I have lost 20 lbs and my face has cleard of acne, which I have suffered from since my early teens, I don't feel any joint pain in the way of my RA any more, I do still have pain but it's changed to tendon and muscle pain, my chiropractor thinks this may be due to the rapid weight loss. I am still taking 25 drops 3 times a day of the diluted 3% Food Grade, and plan to stay on it for a couple more months. I have found that I injure my muscles and tendons quite easily, but I believe that to be because for the majority of 3 years I have been pretty much immobile due to joint pain. I have planted my first garden this year, in order to get some light exercise and enjoy the freshest veggies possible, and was able to weed it. Just curiouse, from some of my readings some say it is safe to be on the oral peroxide therapy for 6 months some say longer? Any suggestions?

Glenys, I have been using 3% H2O2 Orally for just over a month working my way up to 25 Drops/3 times a day for 2 weeks now, and I feel great. I have been recently diagnosed with Rheumatiod Arthritis, and living with it for 1.5 yrs. It was sudden onset, and extreamly painful, to the point where I was suddenly using a cane to walk short distance's. I started feeling the positive effects right off the bat, and would definatly recomend it as worth a try. I have gone from taking a handful of pills every morning just to walk to stopping all med's including my allergy medication. The only side effects I have experienced are extreme thirst, high energy and weight loss. Also recently my muscles have become sore, because after a year and a half, I am actually using them again. I say Yeah to H2O2. Deffinatly give it a try, just remember to take on an empty stomach, and follow the drop schedule.

Jock Itch

I've had 'jock itch' now for around 20 years. It comes and goes and is always worse in the summer. I've tried all the creams and sprays and all they do is suppress it and control it. I ordered some food grade H202 on line, 35% and just dabbed it on with a cotton ball and it immediately turned white and started to burn, I let it burn for about 20 seconds then jumped in the shower and rinsed it off. I did this again at night.The next day I diluted it by half and applied it again for as long as I could stand it, no longer then a minute. As I did this I noticed that the fungus was spread around a larger area then I ever imagined. I had small areas that went from my inner leg all the way up above my pubic hair. Anyway after about 10 days the insidious fungus was eradicated and hasn't come back! Thank you Earth Clinic. I am now huffing H202 a few times a day and I gargle with it twice a day and notice my teeth are getting whiter and cleaner. Who knew?

Stomach Ailments

I just turned 41 and started getting horrible indigestion, as painful as the worst freezer brain ever, but in the center of my chest. After trying Prilosec for a month, what a joke. I called my nurse after an 8 agonizing hour bout of indigestion, she prescribed Prevacid @ $178 for a 30 day supply, this was also crap! I was laying on my floor in agony and could hardly breathe it hurt so bad after taking 2 doses. 3-4 hours later I felt no improvement. I don't know why, but I got up and decided out of desparation to try drinking a few drops of regular bathroom peroxide, 4-5 looking drops worth from the cap, into a half full water bottle, less than 1 minute later, no exagerration, try for yourself, there wasn't even the faintest bit of pain! I went to bed and laid there waiting for it to return, it never came back, I was asleep within minutes! Everybody should give this a try, its amazing! This stuff is some kind of miracle concoction, I don't know what else to say, just try it!

Back Pain

The first time I heard about 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide was during a visit with an old man (84 years), but who walked with the gait of a 20 year old! He credited this to the use of the above-mentioned H2O2.

For the last few years I have been tormented by aches and pains in the lower back that gave me sleepless nights and great difficulty in just getting up out of bed in the mornings. I can not understate this fact...it was getting to the point where I was seriously thinking about having to leave my career.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, the fifth day after taking the hydrogen peroxide program as recommended in the book by Dr. W. Douglass, I woke up to find that I could literally bounce out of bed! I was so happy I had to dance around the bedroom! My back pains are perhaps 50% of what they were before, but at least the joints are pain free now. I'll continue on the program for some time more, but up to now, this stuff sure has worked like a miracle for me!

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide(full strength) cured my wart on my index finger that has been plaguing me for 3 years. I've tried every suggestion banana peels, apple cider vinegar and duct tape. I just didn't have the patience to stick with these for months. I just bought H2o2 at my local health food store and took a cue tip and held it on the wart for as long as I could stand. It took like 10 minutes(also I've tried a band aid to hold in place). After the 2nd or third application it started falling off. Thanks earth clinic. I've been reading you guys for years.

Suffering from sinus infections, colds and headaches chronically lead me to try drinking 35% hydrogen peroxide mixed with juice three times daily. I started by adding 1 drop of 35% peroxide to an 8oz drink and have increased by one drop each day. Thus far I have only made it to 13 drops per drink and have noticed that my headaches have lessened and I am coughing up nasty mucous.

Then I found the information about Bill's inhalation remedy which intrigued me. Rather than use the readily available 3% hydrogen peroxide found in stores I found a website that lists the proper dilution for 35% hydrogen peroxide. It says to use 1 part 35% hydrogen peroxide to 11 parts distilled water. So I've made my own solution using the above dilution chart and have begun inhaling it using Bill's method. (Side note: I tried inhaling my solution via my nose and it was very uncomfortable! It did seem to clear my nasal passage, but I don't think I'll be trying that again!) I'm excited to see where this goes! I'm feeling slightly better each day, but I can't wait to be free of these viruses!

Here's the web address of the other website I mentioned. The dilution chart is listed here and they also have advice on other uses for 35% hydrogen peroxide. Healthy Healing Everyone! http://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/peroxide-dilution-chart.html

Acne

Peniasi,

Get on you tube and look for Dead Doctors Don't Lie and Somebody Needs to go to Jail, and then others, I have become an addict to Joel Wallach- Dead Athletes Don't Lie and Black Gene Lies, He has other videos but most of them are hawking his formulas- he has a lot of good books too, Immortality, Rare Earths, Forbidden Cur-s, Epigenetics,, the bottom line is we all need 90 essential nutrients, there are some vitamin companies coming up with their own formulas now, thank goodness, he started this lecture in the early 90's and you see how long it has taken to catch on? The Plexus craze is part of that. I found one I like, Source of Life Gold. But there are many others, shop around. The liquid is easier to take. Other things we may need extra of, ; selenium, Wallach has particular expertise in the research of selenium and he often recommends 600 mcg a day. I believe many people are plagued with deficiencies and suffer many maladies from it. Zinc could be a thing about the pimples- you'll need that but it must be balanced with copper- like copper 2-4 mg, and zinc 50 mg. Iodine deficiency could also cause rough skin as well as vitamin A deficiency. Start with a complete multiple with optimal doses though. Centrum is crap (mostly talcum powder)as are most of the long well known multiples that only have 1 or 2 mg of the B vitamins. You need at least 25 mg of the B's. Look at the Source of Life Gold label and that will give you a better idea. You can find it online.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

My name is Jimmy Vou... I've had Pulmonary Fibrosis since 2005... A little over five (5) years.. February 2008 I can to the point that my chest started to cave in... You could hear my breathing down the street... I thought I was in the pathway of Going Home to meet my Jesus... Amen...! But something told me to start searching the Net for some type of solution that could either help "me" or just say goodbye...

It was about 3 days after I started taking Hydrogen Peroxide 35% Food Grade... that my lungs started to become normal once again... My breathing was starting to open up once again... My throat and face started to feel much better... About 4 months later I stopped, and I believe approximately 30 days later the latter was returning... so I immediately started taking Hydrogen Peroxide 35% Food Grade...

Since then, I have been wonderment to many people including my Doctors... They at first told me to stop taking H.P. 35% Food Grade, that it wasn't any good for me. I asked them if they had the same disease as mine would you at least try something that might help... Each one at different time shut-up... Now they are asking me how I feel. I tell them all... I'm still here doing all I can to strengthen my ability to stay in the condition until I get better then I am today... The last doctor I talked with, he told me that I had about another 3 to 4 years left... I just turned 70. And I feel good... Amen!

If there is any information that could be helpful, please don't hesitate to contact me...

12 yrs. ago I've read a book from _____ about H2O2. I was hooked. I found 35%H2O2 through mail order. I started to drink it diluted about 10 drops in a glass of 10-12 oz. I usually drink it if I had flu or bad colds. In every case the cold cleared in one day. What a blessing was that book for me. I told it to many people about my experience but they were skeptical. Make sure you follow the right amount and it should not be a problem.

I love this website. the thought of losing so many loved ones recently makes me very sad. had i known about earth clinic, perhaps they would still be here. i have been using several different remedies. i tried the hydrogen peroxide method first. i use it in my water mostly, but sometimes i use the spray pump. i smoke heavily and my breathing has changed so much for the better. i have much more energy and overall feel good. i am diabetic and have very dry peeling feet. i soak my feet in enough water to cover the top of my feet and add about 1/2 c. peroxide to the water and soak about 30 minutes or longer if i have the time. after 2 times, i could see my feet start to heal. also, i found 3% peroxide without stabalizers at the family dollar. i can taste the difference. thank you so much.

Some years ago I lived in the Torres Strait Islands where the air is very salty and filled with microorganisms. Getting a nick or cut, particularly a coral cut, can lead to severe tropical ulcers on the skin. These ulcers can grow to the size of a dinner plate if left untreated. I used 3% hydrogen peroxide on some small ulcers on my leg and they cleared up in no time.

Cold Sores

My vanity for white teeth found me reaching for the peroxide 16 years ago. A side affect was that I was no longer experiencing cold sores (approx 6 a year). My regime was brushing teeth, gums, and tongue with peroxide a couple times a week. When I forgot to do this, the tingling sensation of an outbreak reminded me to do the peroxide treatment and no cold sore surfaced. There have been a few times that I was out of peroxide and got the cold sore but it was gone within 2 days of getting peroxide and the sore was very mild. Apply directly in addition to brushing the entire mouth. I've had two cold sores in the last 15 years. The one during my divorce and the other after getting unjustly fired from my job. Both were mild attacks.

Just wanted to send an update from my previous comments...I have actually been drinking the hydrogen peroxide now instead of inhaling and have had great results. The first time I drank it I mixed a full cap with about 20 ounces of water. I developed a terrible headache, like someone had hit me in the head with a Louisville Slugger, and the taste wasn't so great either. I figured my body was immediately going into a deep detox and decided this amount is too much for me all at once. So now I mix about 1/3 to 1/2 capful with water and it works much better. I will do this first thing in the morning and 3-4 more times during the day. This mixture gives me a lot of energy and definitely improves my mood. It works best on an empty stomach. I get the 3% grade from CVS, and it doesn't appear to have any stabalizers added. They aren't listed on the ingredients label, and my water doesn't turn cloudy. I have been doing this for over a week now and haven't died yet, haha. Just don't swallow an entire 'mouthful' at once. ;-) Cheers!
