Colds and Flu

I have used hydrogen peroxide as a gargle for many years. My weak spot for a bug to come into my body is my throat, so when I get a sore throat or infected tonsils, I gargle with a capful of 3% hp so that it reaches the tonsils, (gag a little) and then spit it out. Repeat after 2 or 3 hours, and perhaps one more time later in the day. 90% of the time, my oncoming cold is nipped in the bud!
I also use a homemade paste of 3% hp and baking soda, with a drop of peppermint oil for toothpaste. I keep it in a closed jar to prevent drying out.

Thanks for your interest, Kevin! Been a while since I've been to this site. To answer your question, I am still bouncing out of bed every morning, although I still have some trace of backache from time to time. Having said that, I also must admit that I do not take the H2o2 very often anymore, maybe once or twice a week between 5-8 drops in a glass of water...my maintenance dose, as I call it. Overall, my general health is very good! Cheers! Marty

Soaking in a bath up to your waist with a cup of peroxide has helped in stopping genital herpes outbreaks for me, when you feel the onset of an outbreak.
Cancer

★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
I've been a fan of Earth Clinic's remedies for a long time. Had success with oil pulling, leaching out fluoride, ACV with baking soda, but one remedy I have to warn against is the oxygen therapy for cancer. I have breast cancer and tried the HBOT (oxygen tank). It was $6,000 for 40 sessions. At the end of these sessions my tumor grew from a large grape size to a large grapefruit size. In addition I tried soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide and taking Bill's spray. This irritated the tumor and sprouted another tumor in my lymph node area under my arm. Later from a doctor I found out that that a lot of cancer patients using external remedied applied cause the tumors to grow out of the skin and cause other more serious problems. So I just want to warn those of you with cancer to be weary.

Why is everyone feeling so good while taking the hydrogen peroxide and am I feeling so awful? I started taking it about 5 weeks ago, 1 drop 3 x a day, 1 hour before and 3 hours after meals. I use 35 % food grade in distilled water. And I went to 20 drops 3x a day and I couldn't take it any longer, felt so terribly sick, I went to 2 x 20 drops and have been there for a few weeks now. I am amazed at these people that have more energy, I still feel terrible. I hate the taste of the stuff and after taking it, I get a high heart rate and my stomach protests to the point where I just do not have to vomit. This lasts about half an hour. Is this my body detoxifying or what is this? I have been on the 20 drops for a while now, as I read that if you feel bad, you should stay at that dosage until you feel better. So I am waiting. . . I started the hydrogen peroxide cure because I have a dermoid cyst that will have to be removed by surgery on Aug. 31 and hoped that this would cure it. If it wouldn't cure it, I would at least be detoxed and in better shape for the surgery. I must say that I react really sensitive to everything- homeopathic medicines work within minutes for me. Could that have something to do with it? My biggest worry is that I feel my heart rate going up to 100 per minute. Is this normal and does anyone know why this is? Would it be harmful to my heart? I would not be able to ask my doctor, he will tell me that all this natural stuff is a big LIE and will not support me with this. He scheduled surgery for me. Should I taper off? I do make sure that I drink enough distilled water 2-3 liters with a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar included. Any advice is very welcome because right now all I can think about is just quitting the hydrogen peroxide cure and going back to 0!

Tina what concerns me is that you say you are using 35% food grade but you never mention that you diluted it to down to 3%. I sincerely HOPE you diluted it. If you read correctly - you take the 35% food grade and dilute it DOWN to 3% and THEN use a few drops. NOT A FEW DROPS AT 35%. That is terrifying and I hope you just typed it wrong.

My name is Martin, write from Bilbao, Spain (Europe). Many thanks Earth Clinic and Ted by your valuable activity about spread folk remedies and contribute to wellfare of the persones and the living being. Shorry but my english is no very good. In spanish language almost no spread these informations about ACV and H2O2. For me, the Apple Cider Vinegar is wonderfull by its capacity for detoxification and antiseptic cuality. The correct use amount of Hidrogen Peroxide (food grade H2O2) may be a fine complement by its hability to revitalize the body increasing oxigen on cells. There are experiencies in the folk remedies area for the combination of ACV and H2O2? I know what on the metabolic terapy area, some doctors are using chelation therapy with intravenous EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) on cleaning the body of harmful chemical substances, intravenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used in combination with the chelation "quelox" to increase their effectiveness. These treatments are radicals and no exempts risks, demand make its under medical control. Though more cheaps than conventional medicine treatments, continue still enough expensive for many people. Thanks. Bless for you. Mart

I am using the Bill Munro method, plus squirting h2o2 into my nose. It works wonders, and kept my ears and nose unplugged on a very long flight. I want to "graduate" to drinking it, but don't know how much is safe, or how often I should drink it. I use the 8% food grade, diluted to 3%. Thanks!

I just started using Food Grade 35% Hydrogen Peroxide in a humidifier at night and my ability to breath improved after just two nights. I want to know if I can use the method of inhaling of 3% during the day while using the humidifier at night. Also, can I use 35% with a few drops in a glass of distilled water at the same time?

So sorry I haven't been on here for awhile! I was drinking food grade h2o2--there are a million sites that will tell you how to go about it... I'll just take the time to write what's written on the back of the bottle here (remember, my % is 12% FGHP, purchased on amazon.com):
*after the dosage, they all are in 32 oz. (ounces) of DISTILLED water, 4 oz. Every hour or 8 oz. 4 times a day (I had chosen 8 ounces 4 x a day because you really MUST drink it on an empty stomach and, well, you can't have an empty stomach all the time! ); all measurements are in Teaspoons (tspn).
1st wk- 1/4; 2nd wk-1/2; 3rd wk- 3/4; 4th wk-1; 5th wk- 1 1/4; 6th wk-1 1/2; 1 teaspoon thereafter (meaning, they consider 1 tspn as a maintenance dose).
I stopped taking h2o2 ahile ago, bc it's a committment. BUT I feel kind of crappy again, so, I'll think I'll start it again soon... The problem is that your stomach has to be empty when you take it (or you'll just throw up), and this amounts to scheduling it, which I found to be a hassel. BUT I miss feeling awesome, so, I'm gonna have another go at it.
cheers and good luck :)

RE: "a lot more lives could be saved if we dropped the propaganda and started having open discussions about human health, irrelevant of money and power"
The propaganda will never be dropped as long as authorized psychopathic medicine (see https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html), which is almost all about "money and power, " is the dominant official mainstream brand of medicine.
And since there's a lack of willingness in most people to examine and face and fight the daily propaganda of psychopathic medicine nothing much will ever change on this plight. History over the last 150+ years proves the validity of this statement.

I researched dilutions of hydrogen peroxide and this is what I came up with to make a 6% solution. Mix 5 1/2 ounces of aloe vera gel to 1 ounce of 35% H2O2. This is the solution I mixed up from your recipe. Really liked the results. Thank-you

Hi Damion, about your dry skin... If that's your only side affect, I would really try to stick with it... Maybe this is a detox side effect? I know that when I use virgin coconut oil, my super dry and ITCHY shins (which would most certainly appear ashen if my skin were a darker shade) feel and look way better. I've also used baby eczema lotion with success as well as virgin olive oil... I'm sure they have something great for it here on earth clinic... Try looking under eczema since that covers dryness and itchiness. Hope that helps. Lynn

I don't know what to say, I have Lyme disease and I was looking for cure then found hydrogen peroxide therapy. All can say don't try until you do research, for me it's too late but I tell you what happen. I did course of hydrogen peroxide therapy, to kill Lyme, after 1 month I had green sputum small amount , after one week more and more. I call my doctor and he did CT scan and find that vie had cancer minimal cells in my lungs , spine , throat and lymph node in pericardial mediastinum site. Hydrogen peroxide is Carcinogenic, and iknow that but now it's too late, I found new treatment with MMS I will by next week it is Carcinogenic too, but I have nothing to loose. Before you do anything read side effects, and if it's carcinogenic. Don't be like me aim just an idiot, and I don't know how to tell my parents about my diagnosis. To bad but too late!!!

Dear Lexies from Ny, When I read a posting such as yours I feel compelled to respond. The compound known as BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] may be helpful in combatting all types of cancer.
A man named Dr. Denham Harman did a lot of research back in the late 1950s and 1960s that showed a very significant average lifespan increase in mice dosed with BHT that were cancer prone mice. This average lifespan increase was between 45% and 50% in the cancer prone mice. Other reseachers using non-cancer prone mice achieved average lifespan increases of between 22% and 31% with the use of BHT.
Dr. Harman chose BHT for well founded reasons. BHT is the most potent free radical and other harmful chemical entities scavenger available. Dr. Harman was hired by the US government to come up with a means of dealing with the harmful effects of nuclear radiation. Cancer is at least one of the most harmful results of nuclear radiation and BHT is the most effective measure he came up with to deal with these harmful effects.
Reading stories like yours breaks my heart. In my opinion, based on the very many studies that have been done: BHT is very likely to be benificial in the treatment of all cancers based on all that research that has been done. As to dosage I would recommend one 350mg capsule of BHT per day with a gulp of water to wash it down.
There is also wheat grass juice therapy. Ann Wigmore cured many patients of cancer with that therapy. A lot of former cancer patients swear by wheat grass juice therapy.
Both BHT and wheat grass juice therapy are based on sound biochemistry principles. I can NOT say the same for this MMS and hydrogen peroxide therapy because both are know to be toxic if taken internally. What can I say ? Do NOT give up. These are the two most promising therapies for cancer I am aware of: The BHT and the wheat grass juice....Oscar

I have been using MMS since 2008. It does amazing things. Just like Hydrogen Peroxide, MMS is created in your immune system in minute amounts. I think the Hydrogen Peroxide was beginning to work for you. That is not what caused the cancer, but can very well cure it.

At the first sign of a cold (scratchy throat) I use H2 3% by gargling. I use it straight from the bottle. I've never had the flu. (I'm 56) (I don't take flu shots.) If I do get a cold, (I haven't had one in 3 or 4 years), if I gargle with H202, the cold only last about 2-3 days. If it comes at all! I believe in it healing powers and told my sister to try it on her foot where she has a horn. Her Dr. doesn't know she using it, but is totally surprise that the horn is not growing like it should! She can now walk on that foot with out pain! The Dr still wants to do surgery on her foot, but I asked her to hold off for a while to see what will happen with her using the H2. It has cured colds, cleans the wax out of my ears. I tell my grandsons to use it for their pimples. I use it on the fungus on my toe nails. I didn't know about using it for plants. I will try that next! I love the stuff.

It`s also the dilution of the 35%, Nobody in their right mind would drink a cap or glass full of undiluted 35% HP.
Nobody in their right mind would use the amount`s recommended by some publications I have read either then you will wing up in the RE. This works for me, including sleep, it knocks you out right away.
I take a 1/2 gallon jug, make a mix of lemon juice & real stevia extract then just add a cap or two of the 35% HP put it in the refrigerator & take a swig or a shot glass full as needed, don`t drive or go out, you will start to fall asleep shortly there after.
I do notice that I do get diarrhea for a day or two and may not be for 2-3 days after I use it, whats going on with this I don`t know just that it happens. I also noticed that Sodium Bicarbonate helps with Diarrhea if you occasionally get it, so including it might be a good idea for more then one reason.
Earth Clinic Report
Posted by Magnolia16 (Virginia) on 02/05/2017
There is a report from the Washington Post of the danger of swallowing the 35% hydrogen peroxide. They say it quickly releases a bubble of oxygen that can find its way into the blood vessels and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and lungs. It has been responsible for 294 emergencies from 2001-2011 including 5 deaths, 15 people being permanently disabled and 41 people suffering blockages from the gas bubble released in their systems. When an embolism does occur, the only treatment is to put the person in a hyperbaric chamber (like they do for divers) but that does not always work. It was published just a couple of days ago and is in the Virginian-Pilot today (2/5/17).

I had a problem of Bad breath for many years now. I had mints all over the place to make sure I had them all the time. I brushed my teeth after every meal and yet within an hour the bad breath was back. Then I came across Sharon's advice last week. Tried it and it WORKED!!! No bad breath from then on. Amazing! I rinsed my mouth in ordinary peroxide for about 2 minutes. Yes, my tongue was a bit sore. I rinsed after lunch and didn't have dinner-- I wasnt hungry, just so very happy. Next day my tongue was back to normal. Thank you very much, Sharon! It has changed my life. A question: Do you think it is okay to have a quick peroxide rinse everyday morning? Does it harm the teeth enamel in any way?

I read a book about hydrogen peroxide, and started using it for cleaning out my mouth and brushing my teeth. Since the book said that it was harmless, I started swallowing it. I was using regular 3% from the drugstore. I swallowed probably 3-4 fairly large gulps a day for weeks (you do get used to the taste). Sometimes I'd put it in a glass of water and sip at it. My energy level definitely improved, as did my digestion and elimination.
Another time, I put on a white shirt and discovered it had blood stains on it from working out in the yard. The stains was really set since I had washed the shirt. Being too lazy to change shirts, I soaked the spot with straight hydrogen peroxide while still wearing the shirt. The stain was very set but getting a little lighter, so I kept soaking it over and over till the stain was pretty much gone. It seemed like the skin under this soaked shirt was getting softer and lighter. Now about ten days later, you can still see on my skin where the hydrogen peroxide had been soaking it. There's a line across my arm... on the one side my aging sun/weather damaged skin with age spots... on the other side lighter, more supple, soft skin (almost like a baby's skin), with the age spots definitely lighter in color too.
I was reading on here about taking a bath with hydrogen peroxide and it seemed like kind of a good idea in view of the above experience, so I gave that a shot. About 5 hours later now, I feel just generally a little healthier, and the skin on my face feels very soft and is not getting oily as it usually does. I will definitely be doing this several times a week from now on. I used 8 oz of regular 3% from the drugstore in the bath.

That was 2 years ago. I started using h202 in both ears about 1 year ago and noticed right away it cured the ticking and in time no more dizziness. I noticed about 2 months ago. I can hear perfectly in both ears. I am a great beleiver in hydrogen peroxide.Also my husband and I don't get sick much anymore.Thanks for the great site. linda c. canada

I use Hydrogen Peroxide when flossing my teeth. Mix the HP 50:50 with warm water and close your mouth tightly while you are flossing. I used the reach flossing thing and it worked really good. Just try it. HP is as good if not better and cheaper than name brand mouth wash. It helps with gum disease.
