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.
Breathing Issues

Hi Patrick, it is my understanding that you should keep your intake at or around 3% if you're taking H2O2 in several ways and losing count of your intake. I guess if you're awesome at math you could use the highest recommended intake and calculate what your highest (combined) dosage should be according to that... Not sure how you would 'count' the humidifier, but I would just count it as having been ingested to be on the safe side... If you go above 10% I've seen neurological damage cited as a side effect. Also, I wanted to add that I've been doing h2O2 for about 2 weeks now (I'm using 12% FGHP diluted). I didn't realize any obvious WOW factors--until I carried my 2 year old up the HUGE hill where I live from the park today! Usually I'll tell my husband to take him and struggle to get to the half-way point (it's a fairly steep incline and a good 12-15 minute walk)... But even though I HAVEN'T (unfortunately) quit smoking, I had NO issues and was like this is WEIRD, as I think I could carry Omar and maybe even a fat kid right up another similar hill (I carried him for the entire walk)... It was absolutely nuts and amazing... I imagine what my body could achieve WITHOUT smoking...

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!

For many years, I would wake up at night, with a rapidly beating heart, gasping for breathe, etc. I have tried many remedies and again, over the years had developed high blood pressure perhaps, as a result of poor respiration at night, kidney and gallstones. Minor surgery for an impacted kidney stone and then major infirmities probably as a result of the surgery, antibiotics, HBP meds, and infections. Found your site, and I have started using food-grade H2O2 again orally and through inhalation, also extra virgin coconut oil, iodine, and cider vinegar. Within 2 weeks, HBP gone, no liver/GB pain or distress, and a major increase in energy and a returning sense of well-being. Sleeping through the night like a baby. Please be aware that I tried EDT suppositories and ionic footbaths for relief from toxicity, with only an increase in distress. I credit my body's healing to the H202, cider vinegar, coconut oil, iodine, and coffee enemas to eliminate the toxins. I truly appreciate this website and my return to health, after all these years of less than optimal functioning. I had had a normal body temp of 96.8 for years and after initiated Lugol's iodine footpainting, within this time period as well, my normal body temp is up to 98 from below 97, which is also a really good thing. Thanks to all of you for all your suggestions, and I wish this level of body optimization for all of you who suffer needlessly. God Bless You All. Jo Ana

August 2001, I began using H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) seriously. My Doctor was vehemently against it (he is no longer my Doctor). The reason I began using it was because of extreme fatigue which he wished to treat with antibiotics. I'd seen that bad movie before with some of my friends, long term use of Doctor Drugs getting better but never really getting well. So I started the hydrogen peroxide instead of the "approved" regimen. Got pills?
It tastes terrible, so I had to make it more palatable or this was not going to fly. I began to disguise it in my morning tea (recipe to follow). The first couple of weeks I started to have more energy. Then my physical craving for tobacco (I had quit smoking a year earlier). Next my allergies became sensitivities and my sensitivities disappeared. Colds, flu and food poisoning now pass through me with little or no effect. I may drain for awhile or just eliminate it (a good poop). This winter a cold came through and a lot of people were off for over a week, it bit me but only drained away. No other ill effects not sick not tired nor achy, which others cannot say.
At my last physical my Doctor could find nothing wrong (again). Even my old physical injuries are getting better with less and less aches and pains. Feeling and looking younger is great! My white hair is being replaced by my old color, My bald spot dissapeared, and the new hair growth is keeping up with the natural loss.
Recipe: Using a two cup travel mug mix together Yerba Mate tea (use loose tea in a coffee maker, two heaping table spoons for a pot full) Apple cider vinegar (three capfuls) Honey to taste (unpasteurized, liquid) (I use about 1/4 inch or - in the mug) Vitamin C powder (a pile about 1 1/2 inches across the palm of my hand) (about 5 grams) Drops of H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) (start small and add a couple more drops of 35% every week, I now use 20 to 50 drops depending on what is needed, 20 is a maintenance level).
This will clean you out! Some things you have loved the taste of (through the fog of a polluted body) or craved (my favorite was an Oh Henry with a Skor Bar chaser) may no longer be so appealing. Overall I am now a lot more sensitive to my environment and yet I also feel less impacted by the contaminants I eat, breath and drink.
Since starting this journey my life has improved because my Health has improved. There are other things I now do on a regular basis which reinforce those benefits from H2O2. Those I will write about in other sections of this most intriguing Web Site. My wife prefers to bathe with two cups 35% H2O2 (start small) to a tub full of water. We now make our own household cleaning solutions with H2O2 as a prime ingredient.
Life is not sitting with a great hand, but rather playing a bad hand well! (Old Danish Proverb)
Thank you, thank you, thank you jens ^j^
Colds and Flu

Re: Peroxide & Eucalyptus oil in a cool mist humidifier: My 11 year-old daughter is very resistant to trying home remedies other than the little pellets under the tongue (Boiron's products are awesome). Oscillo works AMAZINGLY well if you can take it within a few hours of the onset of flu symptoms. But, a friend told me to mix about 1 part peroxide to 3 parts water into a cool (not hot) mist humidifier and run it at night for her. It is great for breathing, though it does "highlight" the hair and eyebrows (we think it's great :o). I've used this method for years now for the whole family with great results for everything from sinus trouble to the flu. She's been antibiotic-free for about 6 years now. Very impressive for a child that was on about two to three rounds per year.

My friend who cured his cancer (huge 2 grapefruit tumor in stomach) used food grade h202 in a bath (2 cups per bath) and soaking in it (not eyes) for 20 minutes to infuse vessels with oxygen. this combined with ozone water 2x's a day, diet and exercise and he has eliminated cancer. Do you know of any other people using Hydrogen peroxide (food grade) this way?

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Me and my husband use 3% h2o2in the ear whenever we feel the onset of a cold or flu. We have not had a cold in two years since using this method. Before my husband would get a flu that would keep him from work for 2-3 days in a week but no more. I had intestinal issues (loose stools). Went to Dr. diagnosed with IBS. Next went to homeopath. took saliva test, had sensitivity to wheat change eating habits improved but still loose stools frequently. This transpired over a year. After finding this site and reading about h2o2 had the courage to try h20s internally. I started with 5 drops in distilled water, the goal was three times a day I usually hit twice a day. By the tenth day my stools were consistently solid and well formed. It has now been over a month since the big improvement for me. Even when I eat wheat I do not get bloated or have the loose stools hardly ever. I still try to stay away from a lot of wheat but I now am the proud producer of solid log like stools!
Toothache and Tooth Abcess

Gargling with Hydrogen Peroxide cured my peritonsillar abscess. I would not have believed it if I read it on this site. But, I was facing a very painful procedure to drain a peritonsillar abscess and read on a different site that gargling with hydrogen peroxide sometimes helps. I did two gargles about 2 minutes apart. Less than 10 minutes later I coughed up (I know, GROSS) a whole bunch of blood and puss. Instantly my throat felt better.

3% Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Toothpaste cures Sinusitus, Tinnitus, Depression, Headache, etc. "Normal" dental hygiene causes all sorts of infections. Your toothbrush is a perfect S. Mutans (caries) culture. 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Toothpaste kills all the S. Mutans bacteria (plaque) which was causing Sinusitus, Tinnitus, Depression, Headaches, etc. My toothbrush is now the cleanest thing in my house, rather than the filthiest. Normal toothpastes are disgusting promoters of S. Mutans. Fie! Fie! Also, go to the dentist and get a good cleaning and alignment. Tooth decay (caries) caused by S. Mutans (plaque) can even lead to brain abscesses!

3.5% hydrogen peroxide cured skin tags, bacteria in the mouth & moles. Normally have to be burnt off- direct application twice daily causes the skin tag to completely disappear of a period of a week or two. Best mouthwash known to man- whitens your teeth, kills plaque and all mouth bacteria, actually allows receding gumline to stop and start to repair itself. Direct application twice daily has reduced a mole to 1/2 its former size and still shrinking.

I heard many years ago that the cold/flu virus enters the body through the ears. As a healthcare professional, it seemed utterly ridiculous that anybody would be so "ignorant" as to believe this -- clearly . . . medical science has shown that viruses are typically transmitted through contact with mucous membranes (touch the door knob, pick your nose -- voila). I wasn't feeling well one day -- actually, for about two or three days, and I decided -- what the heck, I'll pour some peroxide in my ears, and see what happens. I swear, on all that is holy -- I did this twice a day for two days, and when I woke the third morning, I felt SO much better! I don't know if the peroxide CURED me or not, but -- my cold was gone -- so, I don't care.

I've been using hydrogen peroxide for oral hygiene my entire adult life with no mouth disease, cavities, and sparkling clean teeth. I was concerned because I was feeling a pain in my left ventricle (I think), perhaps from stress and/or lifelong consumption of animal fat although I'm in pretty good shape for 45 yrs old. I felt that 3% store grade was ok and began inhaling it using an old perfume spray bottle. After only one week of therapy, the pain in my heart has gone away, my joints feel better, my muscles aren't sore anymore, and I don't feel like taking a nap during the day.
Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2

Hi Wendy and others: Food grade (35% H2O2) most definitely can be bought in health food stores--that is where I get mine. Call around.
H2O2 Side Effects
Posted by Art (California) on 02/20/2023 2684 posts
jake,
I mentioned it only because the question was posted. I do feel HP has health benefits myself and I use it, but only at 1% to a max of 1.5% max and only for very short durations. If I think I need a longer duration for effective treatment of a lung condition I will consider colloidal silver and possibly nebulized grapefruit seed extract.
An EC community member had asked me a few months ago about his use of oral intake of HP. He had reported following a posted dose escalation schedule, but before he could ever reach the max dose over time he said he started feeling sick, which wasn't supposed to happen. I think he said he was losing energy. I suggested he stop the HP for awhile to see how he felt after a few days as he could always restart the HP again later. He wrote back a few days later and said he was feeling better and his energy had returned. I asked him why he started taking the oral HP and he said to feel better and I said if it is not doing what you are taking it for, why continue taking it? I think he decided to stop because he was feeling good after taking a break from HP.
I explained to him that one of the purported benefits of HP is increased oxygenation that is derived from the breakdown of the HP by an antioxidant in the body called catalase, that breaks down HP into one oxygen molecule and two water molecules, but if a person does not have enough catalase available in their system to neutralize the HP in a timely manner, the HP can start to cause damage as it is a very potent oxidant. I suggested that perhaps his catalase levels were lower and unable to breakdown the HP.
Many people in the EC community have reported significant benefit from HP, but I think it is important to know that concentration is important and there may be some risks, at least in some people as the case reports suggest.
