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.

I had a severe chest infection and plugged left ear. After 2 rounds of antibiotics I got better but was left with dizziness and deafness and a ticking noise in left ear. I had lost 50% hearing. 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 have been using the h2o2 drops in my ears for 2 years now. Since that time I have been cold and flu free. I used to get them 2x a year plus terrible sinus infections. What a relief! I share it with everyone, even total strangers in stores if I see they have a cold.

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.

I have found that peroxide in the ear can stop a cold even after it starts. I lucked up when doing this method, I didn't know about these home remedies then, I was just off from work because I was sick and decided to clean out my ears because I had extra time. Gargling might help to break up irritation and mucus in the throat. I say this because my ears nose and mouth don't seem to be as closed off from on another as the average person. After adding peroxide in my ears, I immediately tasted it in my mouth (really in the back of my throat). It felt like I needed to belch, and when I did, all the stuff in my throat came up. It was weird for me but it does seem to break up and stop symptoms of colds.

Yes, it works! I felt the usual symptoms of a cold last week - low energy, swollen lymphs, etc. and promptly added hydrogen peroxide to each ear for about a minute. I felt better immediately and never got the cold.


Colds and Flu
Posted by Ted (Thailand)

I have never ever recommended the use of Hydrogen peroxide in the ears. Yes H2O2 works very well, but not by the ear. It works best when taken internally. Especially when you also add a small amount of vinegar. (It becomes peracetic acid, which is great medicine against SARS - sars don't like acid). For me the most efficient way to get H2O2 into my system without doing dubious things such as IV is to slosh or spray 3% H2O2 on my arms, legs, feet, hands, neck, chest and back. It is much more efficient than putting them in your ears. Of course if you want to get rid of ear wax using H2O2 this is o.k. but not as a cold prevention. A cold prevention or viral outbreak would have been much more effective to use it via mouth wash and putting on skin. Simple reason: your body's skin have the largest areas for H2O2 absorption. H2O2 gets absorbed through the skin quite more efficiently than the intestinal tract, but intestinal tract is also important to take some H2O2 to clear up the pathogens. By the way, viruses also get absorbed through the skin this way to by actions of Langerhan's cells, which unfortunately goes directly to the lymph system and destroys your immune system just the same. To prevent tricky viruses, use H2O2 frequently on the skin. It prevents such from destroying your most prized possession of your body necessary to maintain health your immune system. My favorite way to rid of pathogens, at least no. 1 is to slosh my mouth (after brushing teeth WITHOUT fluoride) using 3% H2O2. I now do this every day. Foams just come shooting out, just to show you how much bacteria I have. I will not recommend anyone doing 3% just start with 0.5-1% H2O2 and once you get use to it you can work yourself up as best as you see fit. A majority of people are much more sensitive than me therefore please lean on the safe side. I am not totally successful in killing of pathogens with a clear rate of success, but H2O2 is the best I have seen so far.

Ulcers
Posted by Mmsg (Somewhere, Europe) on 07/30/2016

D Tob, STOP!!! If it hurts, it's not for you, or at least not at these dosages!! If in the future you might want to try it again, stay at ONE drop a few days, if no pain, go to two drops for a few days etc. NOT EVERYONE can do the "protocol" as is. We are all different.

Also, after a few days of rest from any treatment, you might want to try any other Ulcers treatment. But start SLOW AND LOW!


Ulcers

My ND told me it is fine for me take food grade 3%hydrogen peroxide, and I can work my way to more drops. Start with one. For those of you who are concerned with safety, or are uncertain if it has stabilizers, then seriously consider other oxygen like cell food, liquid oxygen, or oxy blast, do your research. I would go with similar product that is specifically made for humans.

I got some info about using hydrogen peroxide internally as a douche, however I did not research and for two days have been using a non measured dose of hp (the kind that was a dollar at the pharmacy) with distilled water. What is the damage that could be done?


Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2
Posted by Cheryl (Australia) on 10/12/2023

Hi Troy, I started this protocol a couple of weeks ago, got to 15 drops ok but then the nausea hit.. I reduced, eventually going back to 10 for a few days and only twice a day. Gradually increased, still 2 x day but seem to be stuck at 13 and feel nausea a lot of the time. I find it hard to even drink plain water now. I do have it at least an hour before having an organic coffee in the morning which settles me a bit. Then at least 3hrs after lunch and an hour before tea.

I use a good water filter that says this is what it does "Independent lab reports show the ProMaxTM reduces/removes a broad range of 200 + contaminants including VOC's, lead, fluoride, heavy metals, pesticides, SVC's, disinfectants, inorganic non-metallics, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, PFOA, PFOS and micro-organisms." It only removes 98-99% of most things though.

So I'm wondering how you got on, what water you used as there's those that say it must be distilled yet the One minute book says you can have it in juice?! It is confusing for sure.
I'm in Australia and got the 35% food grade online and she said my filtered water should be okay.

I'm also wondering about how to continue, staying at the 13 drops, trying to increase... I just know I'd prefer to continue and not stop!

Any input or suggestions, I'd be glad to know. Thanks.


Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2
Posted by Braveheart (Vancouver, Bc) on 05/28/2013

I used regular store hydrogen peroxide as a douche for a couple of nights when I had an infection and it was fine. Got rid of my infection. The only other think was to also put up vit. C 500mg not the chewable flavoured kind to restore the acidity and then a tablet of acidophilis to restore good bacteria. Gets rid of many vaginosis/yeast/stinky issues. I only did it about 3 times over a 2 year period but way better than taking antibiotics. Never tested for stabalizers or anything. I was fine. If you're bleeding and it is not your period time then you may have other issues, in my opinion, and you should go see your Dr. or try some nice soothing natural oils like conconut oil or olive oil up there to sooth the tissues.

Hi Sharoni, I don't know if you still need help or not but I believe that the best way to get help with your H2O2 therapy is by contacting Dr. Brian Ardis. Type his name in the search bar and get on his website and it will probably cost some money to join his group but I believe he is your best go to person.

IS FGHP diluted successful for any cancer or only specific one kind ???

It is reported that FGHP diluted to 3% should kill off cancer.... could it be that this is a maybe but not a guarantee and yes I too have the one minute c--e book... Unfortunately the author due the present shut down of opinions the government don't want to hear or disseminate, cannot answer emails. Dr. Brownstein's discussion forum as well! I realize the body needs to alcalise to heal>>>> but there are many "protocols" that give the name of the supplement but NO quantities.... and FGHP has not worked. Back to Hi dose Iodine.. and morning organic lemon water.....+++ I read the suggestion Bill's. with the Inhalation method.... does anyone know if this is suggested for any of the cancers, OR only for say bronchial matters a la Dr Brownstein's success with Nebulising with iodine for his Corona Virus patients...

How Peroxide Works
Posted by Cindy (Illinois, USA) on 11/19/2020 559 posts

Hey again Joe!!

I have plantar warts that I experiment on but it just occurred to me that my mother had the same and we both cut them down with razor blades, basically our whole lives, but she would cut into them, like with a cone shape, I didn't, but I remember her saying that her feet never felt better than when she cut too deep and hit a blood vessel but, given the info on the page you shared, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Because nicking a blood vessel would trigger the hydrogen peroxide response! She didn't do it on purpose but when she did it accidentally, she always got a much better effect.

Anyway, I've been experimenting on mine for years and I can get rid of them but I don't. I let them come back so I can experiment on them - anyway, I sprayed 3% hydrogen peroxide on a gauze pad and held it on there a few minutes and soaked a q-tip and wet it down real good before I put my sock and shoe back on and forgot about it. Until today and it's smaller AND softer. So I reapplied and will see what happens but the information you've shared pretty much changes everything - at least, for ME, in my quest to make it all as simple as possible by experimenting. It's like getting a brand new toy!! So, thanks again, Joe!! AND Earth Clinic, of COURSE!! Here, you gave me this awesome surprise present and I didn't get you ANYthing!! ROFL!!

How Peroxide Works
Posted by Cindy (Illinois, USA) on 11/20/2020 559 posts

Update on hydrogen peroxide I put on my plantar warts on left foot, two days in a row and this is my third day.

I just soaked a pad and put it on the warts for probably not even 2 minutes, day before yesterday, yesterday and just now but it's almost gone already!

I'm getting too old for this particular experiment and my daughter's becoming concerned about being unsteady on my feet so I'm going to try one more thing - aspirin first, on my other foot, aspirin paste first then the peroxide to see what happens but then I'm just going to finish them off.

It also occurs to me that the peroxide's effectiveness with the inhalation method may be for the same reason. As in, the lungs aren't bleeding which is what triggers production of the hydrogen peroxide that tells the brain to send help and, so, if you inhale it, it's there and, theoretically, that would trigger the brain to send help despite the absence of an injury and actually tackle the issue, whatever it might be. Pure speculation, obviously, but it sure makes me wonder...

H2O2 safety :

It has to be food grade H2O2. The bottle I bought is 12%, this has to be diluted down to a maximum of 3% . I am starting with 6 drops of the 12%, 3 times daily in half a pint of water, this is way under 3%, 3% is for mouthwash and external use .. I hope no one ever puts 12% H2O2 in their ear undiluted.

Not to disagree in any way with Linda's posting about her own rare diagnosis, I'll just mention that, for so many others out there with swollen lymph nodes, this is a common effect of having a food allergy. As possible remedy, try dropping wheat from your diet for a week. If no change, the next week try dropping dairy.

Hello,

Ingesting the h2o2 breaks down some of the radicals in it. Try 1% in vaporizing at night and keep inhaling it with a fine mist nebulizer. This may have a better effect for you than ingesting it. Detox in a bath with h2o2 in it. It will absorb through your skin.

You can also do a regimen of drops a couple of times a day in your ears.

H202 Warnings
Posted by Mike (La., US) on 04/02/2015
★☆☆☆☆

WARNING!

This article is inhumanly stupid. Does NO ONE here understand that oxidation doesn't refer to oxygen? It refers to an atom's / molecule's tendency to donate electrons to make bonds.

When it says that peroxide is oxidative, that means that it is reactive, aka it goes into your body and reacts with whatever is near it. It doesn't specifically target cancer or parasites or germs or anything else that is implied in this article. It works like free radicals and participates in reactions that shouldn't happen in a biological system.

in short, don't ingest hydrogen peroxide since it causes cancer

Ear and Sinus Issues
Posted by Karrie (Wi, US) on 02/09/2015

I recently had a terrible cold and used some hydrogen peroxide in my ears as they were tickly and I had a lot of post-nasal drip causing me to cough every few seconds. This has often helped me. This time, I let the hydrogen peroxide sit as normal, then drained it, but did not have a chance to lay on that side for long to completely drain. Next morning...slightly clogged ear, with slight hearing loss. Its been a few days with the clogged ear, I figured it would resolve itself. Now I noticed when I rub below the outside of my ear, it's a little tender...worried hydrogen peroxide got caught up in the ear canal and causing its own problem. Any advice?

Thanks

Hi karrie, have you tried tapping the area below your ear? This method does work well for sinus and ear probs, basically you just keep your head upright and use only light gentle taps with your middle finger all around the ear but especially under the lobe of the ear and this encourages drainage into your throat, there are many methods shown for this on utube. By the way it works for me. Good luck.

Hi Angelika, It sounds to me like the antibiotics messed up your gut microbiome. Look into repairing that with probiotics. Also look into a low histamine diet as part of your healing process.

Dosage
Posted by Cathy (Lakeside, CA) on 08/19/2014

Using 35% peroxide.. With 11 Oz distilled water is much too strong! You could burn your esophagus or damage throat, stomach. If you want to do hydrogen peroxide inhalation method for health, you use 3% regular peroxide in a clean nasal spray bottle, either straight, or diluted 50/50 with distilled water. So many people have made the mistake of using extremely concentrated 35% food grade, which is very dangerous, especially in the amount you describe. For peroxide inhalation instructions, go to Bill Munro page on Earth Clinic.

Dosage
Posted by Lopside (San Diego, CA) on 02/24/2015

HI Chris

Be careful of regular HP, many of which have additives/stabilizers which are not good for internal consumption. Stick to food grade HP. If you have 35%, dilute it to 3%. I think your original dilution of 1 ounce of HP to 11 ounces water was good.

Sometimes nausea is caused by taking HP too close to meals. Take it one and a half hour before meals or 3 hours after a meal.

Please stick to food grade where you can and dilute properly before use. There is a wealth of information on this thread to guide you, if you take the time to read it.

Mymindisnotme: To keep the blood clean, one needs to take kidney urinary cleanse periodically, as well as colon cleans, gallbladder cleans, and a parasite cleanse --each of these is suggested once yearly to prevent disease. Optimizing antioxidant nutrition is also very important in staying healthy. All this keeps the immune system in top shape.

Turmeric, Quercetin, Pinnapple, and Cold Water Fish like Salmon, Mackeral, and Sardines (Oil) are all very good anti-inflammatory. Bee Pollen starting in very small amounts then working up to 1 or 2 spoons daily is a very beneficial "superfood".

....further to Sooki's suspected Herx reaction....I ingested just one drop of 35% food grade in 5 to 6 ounces of water - once daily, for about 10 days. I've not used distilled water and after 5 days, or so, noticed a couple of dry skin spots on my face. Not unusual as I've suffered from skin issues most of my life and, honestly, I thought it was due to a hair conditioner I had used that week. Within the next 5 days, I developed a severe rash on my face, neck & ears - my inner elbow had three spots that looked like pimples and now looks almost like poison ivy, just not as itchy....also my shins and feet are broken out. My thinking got quite cloudy and I felt flu-ish. Am I VERY toxic and this is my body's way of cleansing? Or should I not ingest it every day? I didn't think I was drinking too much H2O2....any opinions? I'm 56, female and decided to try this treatment for overall health - I can say that after just a day or two of drinking the H2O2 I felt better, and have continued to feel better, with regard to certain muscle discomforts going away and my breathing got better (I'm a smoker). This outbreak of itchy, dry and burning skin is really horrible!

Lizajane: It is difficult to determine what oxidative damage might occur w/ the H2O2, and this therapy should only be temporary; that's why I suggested the herbal antibiotics for rotation. As for general protection, which seems appropriate in your condition, continue your H2O2 course and monitor for results, but eventually what your body needs firstly is nutritional antioxidant protection. This is an entire science in itself, so do familiarize yourself and begin fortifying your body.

Food Grade Peroxide and Pregnancy
Posted by Mama To Many (Tennessee, Usa) on 11/18/2013

Dear Concious Cafe,

Personally, I am not sure I would use Hydrogen Peroxide internally during pregnancy. I have used many natural remedies during pregnancy and generally find them to be very safe and supportive of pregnancy. Usually they are much safer for mom and baby than medical alternatives. However, there are herbs and natural remedies that are contra-indicated during pregnancy. I just don't know about hydrogen peroxide, so I would feel safest not using it.

Is there a specific condition you are trying to treat? Perhaps there is something that is known to be safe that you could use instead.

H2O2 Side Effects

Hi,I need your advice. I accidentally bought h2o2 pharmaceutical grade 3.1%, instead of food grade.

I put a tea spoon of H2O2 into half glass of water, placed my toothbrush in it for 1 minute then poured a little water on the toothbrush and washed my teeth and tongue with it. Did not swallow it but I guess I swalled some of it naturally. Then I checked the label and got scared cause I got a very slight stomach upset.

The bottle contains H2O2 3,1% - water -Alcohol Denat- Etidronic Acid - Phosphoric Acid - Disodium edta - Phenacetin - Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder.

Please tell me your opinion about it, how dangerous it is even though I might have swallowed not much.

Nefeli, I use that regular pharmacy stuff all the time for inhalation and tooth brushing - I do dilute it - it never posed a problem for me.


Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Warning
Posted by Johnboy (Arkansas, US) on 07/13/2014

Let my comments be a side-effect caution: I began the ramp up treatment of 3 drops of 35% peroxide and adding a drop a day doing this only one time a day. I got up 13 drops, stayed on it a few days, and decided to go back down a drop a day. When I got down to a low dose, I started having sudden anxiety attacks and depression which I thought were due to losing my office due to sickness and not being able to work and my wife working now all the time to make up the difference and a separation anxiety from that. For two weeks it has been a problem and it hit me hardest last night. I had bad anxiety, but realized also that I had lightheadedness. I thought that perhaps I was hyperventilating so I breathed in a plastic bag (could not find paper) for several minutes and then again, and the overwhelming anxiety lifted completely. I was surprised that worked so well that I would recommend it to any sudden anxiety that appears to see if it would help despite not recognizing it as hyperventilation.

I would do 1 drop. And see how it makes you feel.

I hope you are diluting the food grade H2O2 with distilled water only! If you mentioned this, my apologies

Hello I'm on day 6 of peroxide therapy, I'm feeling very full all day, I burp a lot and feel bloated all day did you experience these symptoms?

I am grateful to have found this info about drinking water; have often wondered if H2O2 could be used this way (on a daily basis) and it's great to know the dilution. Thank you
