Hydrogen Peroxide as a Natural Remedy: Benefits and Precautions

I am interested in Hydrogen peroxide therapy for myself. I want to know if it would cause any problem for someone with stents in the heart.

Hello everybody, I want to start to use H2O2 treatment, but is no food grade h2o2 here, in Costa Rica. I bought small bottle of h2o2 that has 10 vol. (I am sure is 3%) of strenght. And label says (in spanish) Formula : peroxido de hidrogeno........ 3.0g, aqua purrificada c. S. P......... 100.0 mg

Aqua purificada means purified, cleansed. I did pour the h2o2 in to the clean glass and hold on the sun for an hour, to see quality of h2o2. I, ve got some very miniscule air bubles on the botom of the glass. Should I start to take this kind (and only kind ) of H2O2 for my body cleansing ? Any other sugestions?

Thank you much. Milda

Hi how long have you been using h202 and has it effected your hip re: at all? have you had any improvement in what ever your treating and how often and what dose are you using? also are you on any meds or supps at all? thanx

Thanks Scorpioempress for your reply x will certainly check out the info you suggessted love Andrea C X X X

Sweetie, have you trief boron for your fibro?? Type "boron fibromyalgia" in ECs search bar.

i had a hip replment (titainium) 6 weeks ago. I also have neuropathic pain, fybromyalgia, arthritis(osteo) I am also on oxycodoene slow release(which give me terrible calf pains,) and oynorm instantainious release. I am also taking alpha lipolic acid, 300 mg's 2 times a day b1(belmofontaine) 2 times a day, organic cracked wall chorella, 5 tabs 2 times a day, and a organic vit and mineral with food and subtilingual b12. I drink distilled water, eat organic produce, was also taking b100 complex, but stopped as the amount of methyl colbamaine(vit b 12) would have been too high. The pain meds give me constipation and annal fissures, haemeroids, and splits up my butt crack. The doc gave me latoloose for the constipation and cream and suppositories for fissures and piles but the pain when I open my bowels and bleeding is agony! I also have asthma and want to try nebulising the food grade h202 in distilled water, but am freaked out that the meds, and supplements may be too much, and the h202 may effect my hip replacement! I also have thrush, but don't want to use a fungicide on top of every thing else! I'M also worried that I may be doing more harm than good taking all the other stuff. Please can Ted or anyone help me out? thanks x x x

Hi I am on 14 drops of the hydrogen peroxide therapy.... That DR David G Williams outlines in his article The many benefits of hydrogen peroxide. As far a side effects go, I was fine(exept for some constipation) until I got up to 11 drops, than I became so nausious that I wanted to just throw up immediately. However, I did like it said and kept going with the therapy protocol (this nausea is part of the healing crisis from toxins trying to leave your body faster than your body allows). I realized that the quicker I drank it the more intense it made my stomach, so now I only sip the distilled water with HP and finish my glass within 10 to 20 min.

Also I came to the conclusion that as it was cleansing the toxins and heavy metals from my body, it also removes some much needed minerals, this may also just be from drinking distilled water. So I now take some extra trace minerals either 3 hrs before I take Hydrogen peroxide(HP), or 1 hr after (same as time frame for eating food). Also when im not taking HP, I switch to spring water or SMARTwater an hr after taking the dosage. Also I take Vitamin E and Acidophilus to restore the good nutrients needed for my body (still either 3 hrs before dosage or 1 hr after). Doing this also relieved constipation as well. I still get nausious from time to time, as dosage increases and toxins cleanse, but it is much easier on my stomach for the most part. ( I have always had a week stomach though). Its different for everyone... My husband is doing the therapy as well and has no side effects. Well I hope this helps someone...

I wonder if you or any of your readers know if food grain hydrogen peroxide will interfere with any medications for diabetics. My husband is diabetic and takes metformin and actos and now recently started taking food grain hydrogen peroxide. Will that affect his diabetic medication?

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.

Espirit..... I took hydrogen peroxide food grade for 4 months. I diluted 35 per cent food grade into 175ml of water, 3 to 4 drops once a day.. In the morning only... It worked out to be 0. 04 strength... At the start I was feeling energetic but in the 4th month my immune system virtually shut down... I got a really bad viral infection that had me coughing.... Phlegm.. Etc... I have had this infection for more than 3 months and only now my cough has just started to subside... But still bringing up phlegm..... I have never had such a bad viral infection in my life and I am certain the HP lowered my immune system..... Trust me... I purchased many books and read them all on HP and thought this would be beneficial to me..... Unfortunately it wasn't..... I believe now it definitely lowers your immune system and causes free radicals...... I just hope I have not done permanent damage to my body....

it says on here to only use 35% food grade H202 but I have found 12% and 8% food grade on amazon, are lower percentages of food grade H202 not ok to use internally? just seems like you would dilute it less?

Hello: Since hearing about H202 therapy, I have been unable to learn what must be monitored while taking the therapy--separating fact from hype (or fear mongering by the pharmaceutical industries).

For example, one source suggested that there is a well-known though uncommon potential risk of this treatment called "hemolysis, " the destruction of red blood cells that can lead to potentially life-threatening anemia. " Therefore, the report states that a patient's hemoglobin and hematocrit values should be taken before and during treatment.

In any event, if there are real downsides, I'd like to know what they are.

Hi Ted,

I have read a lot on Earth Clinic about Hydrogen peroxide and am keen to use it as a detox for my system, however I take Dexamphetamine which is prescribed by my doctor for ADHD. I want to know if this will cause a problem for me if I start to do detoxing or alkalizing my system? Do you have any suggestions for me? I have been dropping weight rapidly and have had low blood pressure with dizzy spells. I also have been having random bouts of diarrhoea which I'm told is just my way of handling the medication.

Regards, Pet

Joslyn, I am still not 100 per cent.... I have been to a qualified GP but practices eastern medicine and he seems to think the HP killed off all of the good bacteria in my stomach and lowered my immune system thus why I became sick...... I definitely have not been this sick for at last 15 years..... My personnel view is if you take HP make sure you take a probiotic, don't take it for a long period of time and take some form of antioxidant.... I will never use this stuff again.... P. S... I have a friend of mine who has been on HP for over 12 months and he swears it is the best thing... No side effects or anything...... Maybe my immune system could not cope with the cleansing process..... I really don't know.......

Yes, the HP works wonders for colds and flu! Try it, for such a calming effect!

silly question**** does anyone ever do the hp in the ear just to feel better, w/o it neccessarily being ear related?

Is Baquacil for swimming pools a good scource for pure H2O2? There are no vendors for food grade in my area and I do not want to pay the haz mat charges to have it shipped. Also does anyone know how to mix H2O2 with aloe for skin conditions?

Has anyone had any experience using the H2O2 protocol with anyone who has dementia or alzheimer's? I tried to find comments from Ted on this but no luck. My mother is 65 and has been diagnosed with severe dementia, although her first diagnosis was a condition that mimicks dementia due to years of depression and keeping emotions inside. I can't remember the name of the condition. Anyway, I've read the book "The One Minute Cure" and they listed dementia as one of the conditions that H2O2 has helped. I have stage 4 metastatic renal cell carcinoma and I'm on the protocol and doing pretty well.

My dad decided to give this a shot with my mom and she's on day #4 and he & my brother both say they have seen small, but noticeable improvements already. I just want to make sure this wont harm her in any way because I also read that one of the causes of dementia & alzheimer's is the production of H2O2 in the brain and the oxidative stress it causes along with creating free radicals. I have come to completely trust the advice I've seen here, so Ted, if you get this I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you!

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...

Hi how do you make 0.45% concentration of hydrogen peroxide... cause I was looking on the website and you said there was study done on rat and this is the concentration that was used is that right? thanks.

Max, I was just thinking of adding food grade h202 with coconut water when I read your post. Thank you. Pura Vida, Jed

Hi, I was taking hp food grade once a day, 3 drops in the morning in 170ml of water for about 4 months... I got a viral infection and this severe cough, phlegm and I stopped taking hp as I thought this caused my viral infection.. I visited a herbalist who said I should have confined the hp as I might have been going through a cleansing process and by stopping it suddenly my body was not fully cleansed and I probably had bad toxins stuck in my body... It has virtually taken me 3 months now to get over this cough and phlegm situation... I am still coughing but only maybe once a day with some phlegm... Moral of the story I guess is don't stop taking hp all of a sudden...

I agree! Turmeric and Gluten Free are the way to go. Also - Take a Boron supplement! It is cheap, and it really works for me!

Studies are starting to show that Boron may be of great value to arthritis sufferers - web search it!

Here is a link to one pdf article on the subject:

www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Boron and Arthritis.pdf

Good Luck!

Stop the H2O2. For RA, your wife should be 100% gluten-free. Turmeric can help greatly with the inflammation. I make my own turmeric caps with organic turmeric bought in bulk online. I add a little black pepper to the turmeric (the piperine in pepper greatly aids the absorption of turmeric). Turmeric is fat-soluble, so take it with a little fat (any kind).

Sometimes our bodies go through a 'healing crisis' where our symptoms get worse before they get better. It's possible that this is what your wife was experiencing. When a healing crisis occurs, it could last anywhere from several hours to several days- even as long as a week. I'd really encourage your wife to stick it out and see if there's improvement after 7-10 days. Drinking lots of water during this time could be helpful.

My wife has RA she tryed H2O2, stayed on it up to 25 drops 35 FGH2O2, and the pain got so bad she had to stop taking it. Now her RA has tripled in pain. Should we try IV H2O2?

Thank You,
Ed

I have been ingesting hydrogen peroxide for my scleroderma, which I have had for 13 years. It is the first thing that I have had a result with. I am getting color back into my lesions and they are flattening. I have energy and just a feeling of well being. My question to anyone is my husband, last summer, had sudden death syndrome. With a pacemaker/ fibulator can he do the treatment? He is so impressed with what it did for me that he wants to try it for himself. He is only 56 years old and wants to live a full life. He is back at work but feeling very tired and with all the drugs they have him on (statins, blood thinners, ect. ) Joints really hurt. I just don't know what it would do to his device he has or if it would counter act with his medications.

For people with scleroderma, I started out on the 3 drops of the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in 8 oz. If distilled water 3 times a day. Worked up to 25 drops 3 times a day. The 25 drops made me kind of upset to my stomach so I am working back down til I get comfortable then going to hold on the dosage for 2 or 3 weeks. Then I bath every other day in 4 pints of the over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide. Yes, It is working but want to know if it's safe for my hubby!

Hello, I just needed to enquire if I can take h2o2 in any kind of juice or should it be taken only with watermelon juice? I find it easier to have it with juice, as it masks the taste. A few weeks back, I started a detox program where I had to drink a concoction of herbs throughout the day. I added a few drops of h2o2 in that concoction and found that sipping it throughout the day made me more energetic- to the point that even though my body was tired, my mind would be so active, that I would be working throughout the day.

Now that my detox diet is over, I need to find out if juice can be a good way to take h2o2. Currently, I am adding it to watermelon and sometimes in carrot-apple-celery juice. I wanted to add it in grapefruit, but needed advice on the same. Thanks so much for the wonderful site and information.
