I am mighty glad I found out about 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. My body is healthy but I still use it to prevent any disease from attaching to my body. Several people I know personally have avoided open heart surgery through the use of 35% fghp. If your body is not healthy, you should never use 1 oz of fghp to 11 oz of water! That is entirely too strong! Please use a droplet! Five droplets in an 8 oz glass of water three times a day is a great place to start. Please also beware of damaging information being put out by the ones that will be most harmed by the good knowledge of 35% fghp, and that would be the medical industry. Oxygen, when used properly will destroy any disease! We have a loving Creator don't we!!! His name is Yahweh!!!

Hi. I did extensive research before starting this therapy and wanted to answer your questions.

Here is a website that give clear instructions for ingesting 35% FGHP. This site should help you. Take it on empty stomach or you could get sick and throw up-because of the oxygen reacting to the food in your stomach. So, at least an hour before you eat or at least 3 hours after you eat.

If you have lung problems, like my aunt did, you can also add a 1% solution to a vaporizer and use it at night next to your bed.


Gout

Long story short... Add 5 or 6 drops of H2O2 to one glass of water everyday. Long story starts here.

I am generally a healthy person, but I've had gout since my High School days. It comes and it goes. My dad has also had gout for a number of years. It is the same for both of us. It comes, we stop drinking beer, cut out red meat and take some of the prescribed pills from a doctor and then it comes back in 4 - 6 months when we start drinking beer and eating red meat. I was diagnosed with Cancer a few years ago (long story, gone now, all's good) but a friend of mine recommeded I start taking H2O2. He said it will help get rid of the cancer and help with general health. I didn't really look into it until after I was given a clean bill of health, and came back to work and started talking to this friend again. He had this H2O2 at work and would add 4 or 5 drops of it to his morning glass of water. I got on board and starting doing the same, but not all the time. I'd go months with out taking it, and then I'd remember oh I should take it. So off and on for a year I was taking H2O2. On one of my "off" cycles I had a brutal case of gout. I just wanted to cut my foot off to make the pain go away. I was mad, the pills took too long to kick in(days), so I decided to try the H2O2. Took it every morning 3 days in a row. After the first day the pain was still there but not as bad, by the third day the pain was gone.

This reply is directed to Sandy regarding alternative options for cancer. Sandy! ..... Over the course of a few months I have been researching alternative cancer treatments. One of the treatments that I have read about was developed by Dr. Johanna Budwig. She specialized in oil's. She was a doctor in Germany and unfortunately she passed away at the age of 91. She developed what today is known as the Budwig Protocol. This protocol involves two food sources that are mixed together using an electric hand blender. The two food sources blended together are; Organic Flax Oil and organic cottage cheese (low fat or 1%) cottage cheese or some other similar food store can be used. Blend together 3 table spoons of the flax oil along with 6 table spoons of the cottage cheese. Blend this for about 1 minute so that ALL of the oil is well blended with the cottage cheese. The mixture will appear like creamy whipped cream. If you find that this is too thick to blend you can add a bit of milk to it. This protocol has been TESTED and RESEARCHED by many medical professionals and even though it sounds quite unbelieveable it works. Apparently this mixture creates a new molecule that is delivered to the cancerous cells surrounding them with lots of oxygen. If I was diagnosed with cancer myself I would take this protocol as well as the H202 as they both increase the oxygen level in the blood stream and cancerous cells can not survive in an aerobic (oxygen rich) environment. Read the complete protocol online as there are things that you can add to the mixture that will improve the taste. Make sure that you strive to use organic ingredients. I take this mixture for preventative measures and I add 2 tablespoons of ground up organic brown flax seeds (use a coffee bean grinder) along with a teaspoon of Organic Raw Honey (due to the live enzymes in the honey). You can also add berries of your preference to sort of make a smoothie out of this mixture. My research into alternative cancer treatments has ofter lead me to this protocol. Do not worry about the dairy aspect of the cottage cheese as this gets neutralized by the blending of the flaxseed oil.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I've been taking Ted's borax water (plus two half-glasses of baking soda separately) remedy for demodex mite infestation for 12 days now without a break and only now do I read Bill's advice to take it for five days, then take a two-day break (Bill from San Fernando, Philippines). This is not mentioned anywhere on the mite infestation section here at EC as far as I can see.

(Ted is a saint and his remedies work wonderfully but he can sometimes tend to omit important details like treatment durations, frequencies, and proportions of ingredients).

His mite remedy is working for me, but because I'm impatient to be free of these pests ASAP, I started the 35% food-grade internal hydrogen peroxide therapy yesterday - specifically, the 21-day detox program which starts out with three drops of 35% HP in 150ml (5oz) of distilled water.

I took it as soon as I got out of bed (11am - I have chronic insomnia) and there was no overt taste. However, within five minutes I started to feel nauseous. I waited an hour and five minutes, then had breakfast (bran flakes and milk, yoghurt drink with plant stenols). I started sipping my borax water, took my half-glass of baking soda, plus my half-glass of warm water with three tablespoons of ACV.

I waited till 2pm, still nauseous but OK, then had lunch - an apple, a clementine, and a banana. The nausea immediately got worse and I started to get really uncomfortable stomach pain. But I had to go out to get some homeopathic remedies to try for my chronic insomnia. This took some time and my next HP dose wasn't until 6pm.

This time, it tasted very strongly of hydrogen peroxide and was difficult to drink (it took me an hour of tiny sips). Nausea and stomach pain increased to the point where it hurt if I bent over. I waited till 7pm, then forced myself to have four small slices of pizza because my appetite was practically non-existent.

At this stage I was starting to become frightened, so I went back and re-read the booklet that came with the hydrogen peroxide. And I found I had somehow overlooked this:

"Never take hydrogen peroxide with food in your stomach. Always leave at least an hour before or after food to be on the safe side. Vitamin C, Iron and fats in the stomach change hydrogen peroxide into super-oxide free radicals. THIS CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE THE LINING OF YOUR STOMACH. The same is true of iron, copper, silver, or manganese so if you are supplementing on these DO NOT TAKE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INTERNALLY."

I've been taking a supplement every day with dinner for two months. I looked up what it contains and it includes: 200mg of Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid), 10mg of iron (as Ferrous Fumarate), 5mg of manganese (as Manganese Sulphate), and 1mg of copper (as Copper Sulphate).

I failed to take account of two vital factors: my supplement is the slow-release kind, and I've been taking baking soda as part of Ted's remedy - which acts as an antacid. So an unknown quantity of these compounds were still in my stomach the following morning when I started the hydrogen peroxide. Plus, the yoghurt and the clementine also contain Vitamin C which was still undigested due to the baking soda when I took the second dose.

Needless to say, I didn't take the third dose of hydrogen peroxide.

Today, I'm feeling slightly less sick and the pain is slightly less, but now, for the first time, every sip of borax water makes me nauseous, so I'll have to stop it and the baking soda for a few days. I pray this will not affect the significant progress I've made with the mites.

The moral of my story is: before you start taking hydrogen peroxide internally, KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ALREADY PUTTING INTO YOUR BODY BOTH FOOD AND SUPPLEMENT-WISE AND MAKE ANY NECESSARY CHANGES WELL IN ADVANCE OF STARTING - three to seven days before would seem safest to me).

You will also have to live by a strict timetable and ensure you keep track of it carefully.

Vitamins in food: http://www.healthalternatives2000.com/vitamins-nutrition-chart.html

Minerals in food: http://www.healthalternatives2000.com/minerals-nutrition-chart.html

Hydrogen peroxide is wonderful and very powerful stuff but it can bite you in the a** if you don't know exactly what you're doing. And - always - RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) carefully.

Fortunately, I don't think I've done significant damage to myself (no vomiting or bleeding, but all I passed this morning was a lot of clear liquid with a few small flecks of solids and I have to force myself to eat even small amounts of food).

I do intend to ingest HP again but not until this pain and nausea subsides completely and I've done all the preparations I should have done in the first place.

By the way, the two homeopathic remedies I bought for chronic insomnia didn't work and they cost me a fortune - Dr. Bach's Night Rescue (contains Rock Rose, Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem, Cherry Plum, and Rescue with White Chestnut), and the homeopathic store's own brand, Peaceful Sleep (contains Chamomilla, Arnica, and Kaliphos).

So if anyone can point me to a remedy for severely disturbed sleep (caused by the anti-psychotic injections of Risperidone I received for my so-called delusional parasitosis), I'd be very grateful indeed.

I'd also appreciate any comments or insights on my experience.

Stay well and take care.

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

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.


Emphysema
Posted by Darcy (Az) on 01/06/2018

I do not know the protocol for emphysema but when taking 35% food grade H2O2, it should be taken on an empty stomach. Take it and then set timer for 1 hour and then one can eat. After eating, set timer for 3 hour and then one can take a dose of H2O2. Basic protocol says to start with 3 drops in 8 oz of distilled water, 3 times a day. Add one drop every day and work you way up to 25 drops per dose. If it becomes too much to handle (I don't know what they mean by that but I think upset stomach) then take the highest dosage you can handle. Be sure to supplement with pre or pro bitoics to replenish what the H2O2 destroys. I drink homemade kefir. I don't like kefir so I use frozen strawberries with it to make a smoothie to make it more palatable.

Best of luck to you.


Arthritis
Posted by Scott H (Riverside Ca) on 05/20/2017

While distilled water is not poisonous, it is unstable compared to water that has a broad spectrum of minerals in solution. In the absence of any minerals water tends to be much more aggressive, especially to satisfy its need for hardness (primarily calcium and magnesium). If you are on a steady diet of distilled water, you increase your chances of developing a calcium deficiency because water will keep seeking calcium until it reaches 100 - 250 ppm. If you are taking calcium supplements along with distilled water, plan on absorbing none of that calcium until the water you are drinking has been stabilized at that level of calcium.


Arthritis
Posted by Richard (Florida) on 12/06/2017

Distilled water is not poisonous. If that was the only water you consumed, it could leach minerals from you body but drinking a few glasses of distilled water everyday is not going to harm anybody. Lets get serious here. Let's not promote rumors created by those who are clueless.

Have you thought about using the H202 in a nebulizer to bypass the stomach upset? You would still get the benefits of higher oxygenation but without having to ingest it. I've used it in this manner and found it to be quite effective. I would dilute it with distilled water to about 1% to start with. Hope this helps.


Cancer
Posted by Whisperingsage (N Ca) on 07/25/2018 45 posts

There are lots of protocols mentioned so everyone seems to be able to modify it to their own. Just make sure you take it on an empty stomach and let it soak in for an hour before taking any food or supplements. I take 3% H2O2 from Walmart, colorless so no stabilizers, 3 drops to 16 ounces of water- I am using distilled now, but one of the commenters said it can be normal water as long as no chlorine. Mine is from my well.

You can also take 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 16 ounces of water, also on empty stomach. Ted said you can put both together in water. I may try that, But it doesn't hurt to drink more water. It's just a pill going so long without eating.

BUT I would encourage you to take optimal doses of the 90 essential nutrients. Learn about these free on Youtube, Dead Doctors Don't Lie, and Somebody Needs to Go to Jail, and Dead Athletes Don't Lie and Black Gene Lies, Also books (get used) Epigenetics; Rare Earths, Forbidden C-res; Immortality. These all cover the 10 centenarian cultures that have the dumb luck to live on soils or have glacial melt that contain 60-72 trace minerals. He covers each mineral and research so far on them. (most promote growth and development in animals and plants). He also is the selenium research doctor and always recommends 600 mcg of selenium to most people and also believes everybody needs to supplement calcium, but the right ones are calcium citrate and calcium hydroxyapatite (bone meal purified), we can absorb 25% of those, whereas the others we only absorb 14 mg out of every gram taken. So most of the calcium we nurses hand out when passing meds are not any good, and nurses are uneducated about this. But get the 90 essential nutrients, they don't have to be Youngevity but there are many good companies now putting out good complete multiples.

Apple Cider Vinegar and H2O2

★☆☆☆☆

Ted posted an answer to this question, it took me 4 hours to find it and I think it should be placed here for those who are wondering about hydrogen peroxide to the ACV and baking soda solution.

and if Ted could take a look at this section and clarify it some more for the people that would be great. he said taking baking soda with HYDROGEN PEROXIDE is fine, NOT combining Apple Cider Vinegar, with baking soda and HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (do not take it all together at the same time).

ADD HYDROGEN PEROXIDE?
02/08/2007: Fran from Houston, TX writes: "Can I add few drops of good grade hydrogen peroxide to the ACV and baking soda solution, twice a day? Thanks"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "No. Hydrogen peroxide will neutralize the vitamin C and other organic compounds in the apple cider vinegar. It is best taken for hydrogen peroxide with water alone, or at least 6 hours apart.

The reason is simple, hydrogen peroxide is an oxidant, while apple cider vinegar and baking soda is an antioxidant.

You can however, mix drops of hydrogen peroxide with baking soda in a drinking water. It creates a more alkaline form of peroxides which can also detoxify the body of accumulated poisons built up in the liver.


Hot Tubs
Posted by Trena (Virginia Beach, Va, United States) on 04/02/2010

My husband and I no longer want to use chlorine and bromine and all the other toxic chemicals in our hot tub either. I've done a lot of research and hunting to find natural alternatives. I have found 3. We are trying the first one right now. I can't give any brand names or anything but I can tell you it is a colloidal silver. Emptied and cleaned the hot tub taking out all parts possible and cleaned with a toothbrush. Filled up the hot tub with tap water using a carbon filter. All I did was dump the 16oz bottle of colloidal silver and it's been sparkling clean for a month now. We use our hot tub every night. But here's the kicker. We do shower every time before we get in the tub. Bought 35% H2O2 and when I empty the hot tub after 3 months....I will try this method but I won't use the carbon filter to fill the hot tub with this method. The 3rd one I will try will be another natural product. All I do is dump one bottle in every 3 months and that is it. So far the colloidal silver product is awesome! No smell and we are so clean!

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.

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!

I am right on with your sentiments Hawk! Bartlett is the quack who needs to be watched.

BTW what is the best water to take it with and also any hesitation about taking it while taking other supplements (obviously wait 2 hours and empty stomach, etc. Btw is this the same Hawk that was the housemanager for the veterans home? I did some community service there several years ago. If it is you hope your doing well and bless you for the job you are doing for the vets and my apologies if I was a bit of a slacker who didn't follow through back in those days.

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...

I had been attempting to see a specialist who treats patients with blood chelation therapy and hydrogen peroxide injection. In the meantime, I engaged in some of the therapies written about here. I will eventually obtain peroxide treatments with the specialist here to follow up.

I chose footbaths, since I have no tub in my apartment. I really took to the footbaths and do it now as a matter of course. I also tried inhaling when I came down with the flu, a hazard at my workplace. The inhaling method I found to be very harsh, so I limited it to only enough to get over having the flu, which was in a matter of 48-60 hours. I do keep a nasal spray bottle on hand in case there is no other source available and inhale just prior to taking a shower.

This was the most challenging virus I had picked up in a long time. I was aiming overall at defeating post viral fatigue syndrome and the effects of periodontal work.

The fatigue didn't come back as strongly, so I believe the effect of the footbaths is according to remedy. The night sweats that accompany chronic fatigue are not as prominent. I have enough energy now to take care of basic chores without putting them off. I also attempted to drink some tea with peroxide according to recommendation, but will not repeat that, since I found it harsh.

Needless to say taking baths and footbaths and occasional baths on the road with 3% peroxide produced a lot of phlegm initially, and one day black phlegm came out. Footbaths I started out with 500ml and now use 1l. in hot water with epsom salts and tea tree oil. Its a pleasant way to start the day prior to taking a shower. In a bath when on the road I usually buy 6 bottles of 500ml. in a nearby pharmacy and use it as part of the routine.

Other improvements are better complexion and improved varicose veins in my feet. I also have some improvement in cardiovascular function and seem to breathe easier.

I am very concerned that the medical profession has no clue about peroxide and its possible use in properly treating fatigue syndrome, since the alternative is to have you assessed incorrectly as depressed or subjected to treatments which have no effect.

I am hoping that peroxide therapy will help me return to working out and enjoying life a little more.

Here is a story recently recounted in the NY Times. I am certain that peroxide therapy will help this condition:

We have been using hydrogen peroxide for years to fight off earaches and colds. My kids and I used to go to the dr. all the time for earaches and end up with a big dr. bill and antibiotics. Then we heard about peroxide. I keep the peroxide in a small glass bottle with an eyedropper. The moment anyone starts to get a sore throat or their ears hurt even a tiny bit, we put one eyedropper full in each ear. Hold the bottle in your hand to warm the peroxide a bit (otherwise it feels like ice water going in) and have the person lie flat on their side. I like to leave the peroxide in until it stops bubbling, but even a few minutes may be enough to help. Drain the peroxide out when you are done and dry the ear thoroughly. A nurse told me that the peroxide would burn a hole through the lining of the ear(Has anyone ever heard of this before?), but we have done this for almost 10 years with no problems.

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.

Breathing Issues
Posted by Lynn (Washington Dc, Unites States) on 09/06/2010

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...

I have used H2O2 as a mouth wash and cleaning open wounds for nearly 40 years and it always work. I read about all the other remedies on this site! One idea I haven't seen is: I use shampoo out of a bottle until I can pour 100ml H2O2 into it. I have to shake the bottle when I want to use it. I have stayed blond and have no grey hairs and it keeps my scalp healthy.

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.


Jock Itch

I've used hydrogen peroxide, 3% pharmacy grade cut 50% with water, to rinse my mouth before brushing, which has been a great help with eliminating bad breath and plaque. But here's a remedy that no one may have thought - a treatment for "tinea cruris" commonly known as jock itch. I had an issue with this for several months and during this period, several times a week, I used Curex and other over-the-counter options to eliminate it, spending $20.00 to $30.00 to no avail. I knew hydrogen peroxide was effective in killing bacteria, so, as a last resort, I cut the pharmacy 3% grade 50%, just like the mouth wash, and used it-in 2 days!!! the itch and soreness was gone! No joke. Total cost 20 cents!

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

I am a reed instrument musician and keep a glass of regular drug store around to keep mouthpieces and reeds healthy. I have found the habit completely avoids mouth ulceration and cold sores which wind players often suffer from and which used to be the bain of my life.

My wife drank a glass of this by mistake. - she doesn't waste drinking water. There were no detectable effects whatsoever.

I went on H2O2 for twelve months. All candida symptoms- fatigue, IBS, sore joints, fungal infections reduced then disappeared plus my weight went down by twenty kilos without any dietary changes. I have always eaten correctly but the weight just never came off.

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!

Do not spend big $$ on chemically created stain removers! A 16 oz bottle of peroxide at Wal-Mart? 97 cents! To quick dry a pimple, use a cotton swab saturated in common household peroxide and dab directly on the pimple several times a day and it'll be gone by the next day. Add 4 oz to your laundry whites for bright results when you're out of bleach. Add 2 oz peroxide per container when steam cleaning your carpets! Hydrogen peroxide can replace any selling product having "OXY" in the title and it'll save you $$. Try it!
