One of my favorite H2O2 remedies is my homemade toothpaste. I take one part H2O2 and two parts baking soda (the measurements don't really matter, just get a consistency that you like). Stir them into a paste and brush as usual. It's a great fix for bad breath and whitens teeth just as well as those very expensive whitening kits, but with absolutely no pain. Another great recipe is for bad body odor. Take equal parts baking soda, H2O2, and water. Add a bit of dish soap and mix together. Scrub any place that the stink won't wash off. This remedy is great for athletes and sick people. Also works for people who have been skunked (it actually gave me the idea).

Our family has been using hydrogen peroxide for cleansing wounds; diluted as a medicinal mouthwash; ear wax removal and also used in the ears to help ward off catching a cold (3 drops in ear, wait ten minutes then swab out or let ear drain onto wash cloth. Hydrogen peroxide, inexpensive, non-invasive good stuff.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) ingestion has been responsible for a turn around in my overall health. I began experimenting with the ingestion of 35% H2O2 in Aug 2001. At that time I had no energy (yuppie fatigue syndrome), allergies, sensitivities, severe bronchitis several times a year. My options were Doctor Drugs or try something else. Having read Ed McCabe's book
O2xygen Therapies I tried H2O2. Amazing! Things began to improve in a matter of a couple of weeks. I just got the results of my yearly physical. Excellant! My Doctor is amazed and told me to "keep doing what ever you are doing" but he doesn't want to know what it is. This is even though they are better than the last. The most dramatic improvement was the first year. I use the dilute 35% H2O2 in various ways. The main way is daily in my morning tea, in a bath, ear drops, nasal/throat spray a la Munro, and in various home made cleaning/disinfecting solutions.
The Morning Tea:
1/2 liter mug, Yerba Mate Tea,
three capfuls raw Apple Cider Vinegar,
4 grams Vit. C,
3 tablespoons good quality Unpasteurized Honey, and drops of H2O2.
Bath: 1 pint (500 ml, two cups) 35% H2O2 and 1 cup Epson Salts. Soak for at least 1/2 hour. It is preferable to filter the Chlorine out!
Ear Drops: 1% solution H2O2. Take an eye dropper full (15 - drops) and put in ear while lying down with that ear up. After 10 min. or so repeat with other ear. The bubbling you hear is good!
[Bill] Munro's methods are best to be referred to directly.
Household Cleaning Solutions: just add a little H2O2, drops of Tea Tree Oil and or Cinnamon Oil. Drops of Palmolive Detergent to water (to emulsify the oils). Bakin Soda can be pre-used on stuborn spots and stains. The efficacy of H2O2 can be increased with the addition of a little Colloidal Silver (I make my own). The inverse is also true that the efficasy of Colloidal Silver can also be increased with the addition of a little H2O2. jens ^j^

I soaked in 4 pints of 3% store-bought hydrogen peroxide last night for about 20 minutes, while I did a little oil pulling, and noticed this morning that the 'veinyness' in my legs isn't as noticeable. Today I decided to be brave and try the hydrogen peroxide inhalation method...I did two different breaths about 20 minutes apart, 4-5 squirts for each, and then laid down for a nap. I slept for an hour and a half and didn't realize I had even fallen asleep until I woke up and saw the time. I don't even feel that good when I taken melatonin at night. And I woke up with lots of energy. I am also doing the apple cider vinegar remedy so my body is quite 'tingly,' and I'm getting headaches...but these are all signs of detoxification as I have done the Master Cleanse before for ten days and had very similar side effects. The ACV will actually take care of detox headaches if mixed with the baking soda and taken on an empty stomach.

I have always used hydrogen peroxide for skin infections, insect bites, cankers, cold sores & deleting blood stains. Results are quick & inexpensive. I dab it on my finger, straight from the bottle, to apply to a cold sore or canker. I have never had a cold sore for more than a day. When I was a teenager, I also applied some to any pimples that might crop up.

Dry skin is to be expected, I beleive under certain circumstances, and shouldn't be discounted as a serious symptom if it can be determined that it's from the H2O2.
Your skin is the organ by which you have a window into the general state of other organs in your body (wrinkling, liver spots, dryness). H2O2 is an oxidant, and WILL work to dry out organic matter/tissue, alive or dead. If you are in doubt of this, take a piece of leather or meat and apply H2O2 to it, in one spot, in the amount that you are consuming every day, and see what happens to it over time. The only thing that prevents this from happening to your argans as fast as it does the leather or meat is your limited repair and anti-oxidant response, both of which have their limits and decrease in effectiveness with age.
In my opinion, you should be using H2O2 for one or both of two reasons:
1. As a temporary "emergency" antibiotic effort to aid your immune system in ridding itself of foreign organisms that will do more damage to your body over-time than will brief diluted H202 usage.
2. To put an adaptive pressure on the body to improve it's natural anti-oxidant output. In this case, I wholly disagree with multiple-time per day H202 dosing, as that will prevent the adaptive response (in preventing the recovery/rest period from the oxidant assault) and will instead lead to a state of constant increased oxidants, in your bloodstream, over baseline. It's analglolous to lifting weights multiple times per day, every day, and never giving your body the rest it needs to actually build muscle. Instead, your constantly tearing it (your muscle or your anti-oxidant defense) down.
I recommend moving to a once per day very low dosage regimen until your skin improves, after taking at least a-week-or-two off from your undoubtedly too-high, too-often dosing. You may see a great improvement starting with a very low, very infrequent dose (no more than once per day - even skip days on occassion and see how that works out - test, test, test.)
If you get good results, you can slowly move up the drop number in your once per day regimen. However, unless you are trying to rid yourself of an accute bacterial, vural, or fungal infection quickly, I cannnot think of a single reason to ever take more than one dose per day. Furthermore, if your infection doesn't wane after a relatively short period of time with more frequent or concentrated dosing (no more than one week, imo), than I would cut back to a low infrequent dose ASAP.

Your symptoms sounds like Chickun Gunya, chickungunya virus affects brain as well and causes severe fear and anxiety.
For stomach infection, you can take Bael Fruit Powder. Take 1 tsp Bael Fruit Powder in a Glass of water mix it thoroughly and set aside for half hour. And drink it. Fruit is a very potent anti-viral and anti-parasitic natural medicine.In thailand it is available as Bael Fruit Jam too. If you can't get Bael Fruit Powder, along with ted's recomendation take lots of probiotic foods like
Milk Kefir, Saurkraut, Miso, Yoghurt, Natto, Kimchi, Butter milk. Or at the least, take probiotic supplements. thanks

Stains

I had ruined yet another pair of panties during my period, and I noticed my bottle of peroxide on my counter. Remembering that I had read that it worked for blood stains, I poured straight peroxide on the spot, watched it fizz up and promptly put the underwear in the wash. It was gone! It doesn't completely remove older stains, but it definitely fades them.

Oh my, Magnolia 16,
I would like to hear MtM's opinion about this! Instead of taking so many drops, three times a day of peroxide, as I swish a cap full diluted with a cap full of water sometimes I swallow a small amount. I didn't think it would be any worse than swallowing the bubbles in Perrier.
The peroxide I get is 3%. I noticed yesterday my stool was a bit foamy. I had also increased my cancer killing cocktail. I would hope it's "bubbling" any cancer cells out of my GI tract if any are there!
Please advise...
KT

What I took away from the article is basically that it is very easy to mistake the 35% bottle for the 3% bottle, so they should be stored in totally different places to avoid anyone making that mistake!

I had bad sinus infections on and off for a year; Doctor put me on 4 ot 5 different antibiotics, which helped for a while, but infection always came back after treatment finished. Went to a Natural Health doctor, who cured it with herbs and h2o2 !! Now whenever we feel colds starting we gargle with h202 and 9 out of 10 the cold never develops.

I was recently very sick with a bad cough and phlegm in my chest area, and over night i had somehow gained an ear infection in both ears. It hurt more in my right ear than my left. I refused to try antibiotics. I put peroxide in one ear and let it stay in my ear for about 5 minutes. Then i switched, and put it in my other ear. I did this three times within 4 hours apart from each other. In the morning my ear ache was gone.

Swimmers ear can be avoided by putting alcohol in each ear after being in the water. I have to do that after a shower. The hair dryer might harm the ear drum by making them to dry. Alcohol will cause the water to evaporate with it.
EC: Hi, Joann. We presume you mean rubbing alcohol?

Snoring

I have been using Nasonex (a prescription nasal spray) for the past ten years or so based on the recommendation of a family doctor) to alleviate my snoring. After viewing a recent E-mail that listed the many benefits of 3% hydrogen peroxide, I filled an empty Nasonex pump and have given myself the H2O2 for the past 3 nights. My wife reports no snoring. Short test but promising?
EC: We wrote asking for further clarification. Bob responded back: "I converted a used (empty) Nasonex pump and used it for a single shot into each nostril. Don't be surprised if the user sneezes several times after each application."
Mold and Mildew

This remedy works great! I had been fighting mold and mildew in the shower for years. I had mold developing on my shower ceiling and I would normally use bleach in a spray bottle and had to wait for it to dry. I mixed 50/50 of peroxide and water, sprayed the ceiling, waited 10 minuted and it wiped right off with a sponge. I'm telling you this really works. I have never seen the shower so clean!
