H2O2 Side Effects
Posted by Tony (Oregon, USA) on 08/19/2008
★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
Dear Friends: DO NOT use hydrogen peroxide in enemas or colonics. i tried it once and ended up in the hospital. when the HP hits the bacteria in the colon it explodes and causes severe painful cramping and uncontrollable contractions. i was sick for almost a week and put on a iv for dehydration. ive talked to other people who have done this and ended up in the emergency room too. i am a believer in hydrogen peroxide cures. i inhale it and have not had a cold or coldsore of been sick in 3 years. honest!! inhaling is the best method in my experience. i even swallow whats left in my mouth and never have a problem but never never never use it in an enema!!! it could kill you. it could cause intestine to burst and bleed to death. a painful horrible death.

re hairy tongue from hydrogen peroxide: I heard that you can restore the body's natural defense (an enzyme???) contained in our saliva. So find someone to kiss, and soon it will be naturally consumed. :)

in response to the hydrogen peroxide swisher that ended up with 'hairy tongue'- I spoke to a chinese medicine/natural doctor about this, as the clinic recommends swishing with it once a week in oral hygiene care. She told me that hairy tongue is a fungal reaction, and that the reason this would have happened is one would have to have a lot of fungus and bacteria in the mouth. In an act of detoxification, as the fungus and bacteria is pulled out from swishing, this COULD happen (not common, though.) Their recommendation was to keep swishing once a week to continue the detox process.

Dave,
I went to Roy's website, it's God awful and really isn't ecommerce. Do you know as of 6/13/10 if they still sell Food Grade 35% Hydrogen Peroxide that as HAZMAT stickers on it. REAL 35% HP has to be mailed HAZMAT and since I'm in Austin would have to be mailed.
Thanks,

I'm on day 3 of the treatment at 6 drops but I have found that in my last 2 days that although I feel so much better pain wise and energy and I have my last dose at about 3pm as it says not to take late but even at this time I am having trouble sleeping and can feel my heart pounding, I am tired but cannot sleep properly.
Not sure whether to just do 2 doses instead of 3 until my sleep gets better. Other than that I feel great so far.

Hi, You may try to reduce the dosage and increase it later.
For the heart pounding and sleep problems try to take some magnesium. A pich of Epsom Salt with a beverage will do. Personally, I take Epsom Salt with drinking water, 1/4 teaspoon in 1.5L bottle of water (52oz), you can also try magnesium citrate. Just google and see by yourself how magnesium is important.
Good Luck, Alain

Sad :( According to Yahoo Local, Roy's in Dallas is permanently closed. It was open for 40 years, seemed to have a good thing going. Makes you wonder why... This is a quick request for shop info to anyone in Dallas or DFW that has found FGHP at a local store.

Follow up - I called that number for Roy's market to see what I got. It is now a Vitamin Cottage grocer store, and they DO have 3% "food grade" HP, they checked for me and read it off the bottle. 16 oz is $8-something. I saw a Vit. Cottage grocer at Forest and Preston, same company, don't know if it is also at the Royal lane address. It pays to be proactive!

Also to dilute HP should be using saline water or maybe distilled water....not tap water.
Acne
Posted by Bernie (Chicago, Il) on 07/13/2012
I have used Apple Cider Vinegar on my acne and it drys it right up. It is also very good for cold sores on the lips. If it stinks when you put it on use a little water in it.
I then follow it up by using neem soap and lotion. I only use the neem soap and lotion during the day. The neem lotion does have a slight smell but it evaporates in about half hour and works very well.
Genital Herpes
Posted by Joanne (Taos, New Mexico) on 07/19/2008
★★★★★
I suffered greatly from genital herpes on a regular basis until I tried hydrogen peroxide. I was in the painful blister stage when I first tried it, and applied H2O2 with a cotton ball to the area, almost "scubbing" the blisters down because they were so painful and the area was so itchy. Miracle of miracles--it relieved the pain and itch almost immediately, and the next day the problem was reduced by 95%.
Now if I have an outbreak I usually ignore it until it gets uncomfortable, then apply the H202. It seems to be most effective when blisters have formed or are at least beginning, but I have also found I could prevent it from reaching that point by applying earlier.
Knowing that it is easy to fix once it gets worse, I usually can't be bothered to get out the hydrogen peroxide until it gets annoying. I don't pass on the chocolate or other foods that cause breakouts either anymore. I hope you will try it and that it will be a miracle for you as it has been for me.

"I need help with the H2O2 protocol.... Anyone have suggestions on the best procedure when taking H2O2. Also, can I take vitamins? And do I need enzymes?
I have taken 35% H202 for 20 years, in addition to IV every month for 17 years. I have Systemic Candidiasis and would be dead without it! Also, I have been unable to digest my food for 17 years, because I no longer make hydrochloric acid or digestive enzymes. I tried everything on the market and have found what products really work. Malnutrition has perminantly damaged my body, so my research and study of nutrition has also caused me to investigate vitamin supplements. I have wasted thousands of dollars on products that made me worse, so I would be happy to share with you what I have learned and help you avoid unnecessary expense and delay. You may email me at ihsai [at]hughes [dot] net. I look forward to meeting you.
Wounds
Posted by Dawn (r. N.) (Allen, Texas) on 02/15/2008
★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
Hydrogen peroxide was once used for cleaning wounds but research has shown it is too harsh for wound care. It kills healthy tissue, is cytotoxic, and actually delays wound healing. Unfortunately, some health professionals have not kept current on changes in wound care and still recommend H2O2. I cannot comment on the other clains on your page, but H2O2 for wound care is definitely inappropriate.

Hepatitis C
Posted by BECCA (Farmington, Utah) on 01/26/2008

35% FOOD GRADE H202 CURED ME OF HEP C. GO FIGURE!~ In 2001 I was in a 8 month study for the pegatron- interferon treatment and found i was not getting any better. In fact I felt like I was dying. On the 8th month of being bed ridden (I couldnt get up for a 5 minute span for 8 months), I decided to try the 3% h202 treatment and added the ratio 1 part to 30 parts of pegatron. (I didnt know about the different grades at the time). I figured it would heal or kill. NOT RECOMMENDED without DR supervision. (Needless to say I was kicked off the study). But after the treatment, instantly I felt a cleansing and that was first time in 8 months I felt human. I got up and cleaned my kitchen and stayed up for about an hour. I was truly amazed. The next visit to my Doctor revealed the HCV was gone after only 5 treatments. And in addition, the HV as a child also disappeared. I have not had a reoccurance of the HCV and its been 7 yrs now!
Now I use the 35% H202 for just about everything. IT WORKS!! NOW I drink 3 drops of 35% in 8 oz purified water- 3 times a day along with vitamin C&E supplement for my maintenece of good health program. I am NOT a doctor and dont proclaim to be one. I just know it worked for me and I was one hopeless case before the H2o2 treatment! PEACE

I tried the Hydrogen Peroxide for Melasma: I've done 5 treatments, 20 minutes on the affected areas and it has substancially faded. I have it quite bad on forehead, cheek area, upper lip. I have also done the glycolic peels, Tri-Luma cream, etc. with no results. I am amazed this is working, and trying to determine if I can continue this to control the melasma.
Food Poisoning
Posted by Deshawn (Chicago, IL) on 11/25/2007

Hydrogen Peroxide 3% works wonders for me. I used one cap size of HP (the cap on the hp bottle) and one cap of bottle spring water. I simply tossed the hp/water solution in my mouth and swallowed it. I did this three times a day for one day only. I had eaten some food that had badly upset my stomach (my stomach kept making rumbling noises)and it was cramping up so badly. the same day I immediately swallowed 1 cap full of hp and one cap full of spring water (hold the cap of hp in your mouth then chase it down with the capful of spring water). That same night I sleep like a baby and I felt so good in the morning. I hope that you have the same experience because food poisoning is never a good thing but quick relief is a miracle. I took this mixture immediately after my stomach started cramping.

Stop smoking then! It's not magic, you have to put some effort into it. (says my hubby next to me, I concur). Cinnamon capsules are available everywhere now, even walmart. 1 gram (1 of the fat caps or two of the smaller). It anchors into the nicotine receptors and reduces craving. I saw this and used it on my first hubby that was a 2.5 pack a day smoker- he went to smoking 1 pack without knowing I had added something in his vitamins.

★★★☆☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I was inquiring about the "dark blue" appearing on my feet.
Since home from the hospital (April 2, 2009), I was informed by my brother-in-law I should start taking the Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade. I had 3 operations, the last one being a Cancerous Tumor removed because it triggered Epileptic Seizures.
I started taking it orally (diluted using the Food Grade H202 with a dropper and demineralized water.) Later, I found that the H202 Food Grade also helps Arthritis (which I had) and is now gone. Hurray!! Then, out of the blue, a certain spot on my feet started to go slightly red. So I sprayed it and it gradually went away. Just a tad bit left now. (The only reason why I spray my feet - but I do spray on the legs for varicose veins). Works great.
As I mentioned in the very beginning, blue spots started appearing on my right foot (mainly the big toe) then slowly my left foot started to go the same way. When I saw my doctor (regarding the cancer, I asked her if she knew if this was from Neuropathy - had it since 2004). She said "its varicose veins" - which I know its not.
I'm going to try and not spray the feet at all now. See if the blueness goes away.
I thought I was the only person with this problem.
Thanks for your help.

Mouth rinse 'containing' hydrogen peroxide? And pray, what else do they contain? There are elements hydrogen peroxide shouldn't be mixed with, but who is to say it is the HP that causes this issue?
As 3% HP bought from the drugstore also has added 'stabilizers', potentially that could cause problems.
It is unlikely this problem would be triggered by well-diluted Food Grade HP used on its own.

hello I use baking soda to brush my teeth since regular tooth pastes have fluoride in them which is actually really bad for you. it messes up your enamels and also fluoride is the same chemical that is used in rat poison and it was used by hitler to confuse and control his solders. the waters have also been contaminated with fluoride in order to keep the general public confused. doctors tried to get me to give my babies fluoride supplements. I told them they were crazy and when I brought up all this information to the doctor he was stumped and couldnt reply. anyway baking soda make your teeth white from the first time you use it and my teeth feel so much cleaner than when using regular tooth paste. Great Site!!!

All of the things with flouride in them, including toothpaste would lend to the possibility of heavy metal build-up thus creating problems from heavy metal poisoning. You believe you are doing yourself a favor by brushing your teeth with baking soda. Did you know however, that Arm & Hammer Baking Soda also contains aluminum? So do most deodorants. Compound this with all of the metals used in chemical fertilizers, and therefore grown right into our fruits and vegetables.
It's not surprising to find so many with dementia, arthritis, etc which may be related to heavy metals accumulating and causing problems all due to the trusting and overeating diet average of the American diet. When there is no change in the diet, these metals build up and are suspect of causing the aforementioned problems. Unfortunately, disease and Alzheimer's is almost expected as a person ages. By the way, you can get aluminum-free baking soda at your local health food store. Adding more oxygen does however ring true in prevention and cure of many problems we face.

I just found this site and read this reply and wanted to add that I use the peroxide to brush my teeth. First I wash out my mouth with the peroxide, then spit the peroxide on my brush and then brush away. I make sure I don't swallow any. Sometime I will do the same thing with the mouthwash that is supposed to stop plaque build up and then use the peroxide again.

In my previous email to you, I forgot to mention:

2. I tried applying the Raspberry Skin Cream well known to cure skin cancer to the cancerous growths on my face for weeks, but it didn't work for me - I noticed no difference. I have heard the Raspberry Skin Cream worked well for many people after about two weeks.
3. Also I forgot to mention when I started my Hydrogen Peroxide I also started using air purifier that is running 24/7 in my bedroom.

To Gloria from Toronto and all others wanting information on SSKI (Saturated Solution Potassium Iodide) For great information on SSKI google "potassium iodide" and pull out Dr. Jonathan Wright's Tahoma Clinic 6 page article on "One Mineral Can Help A Myriad of Conditions from Atherosclerosis to "COPD" to Zits". Also included in his article is it's use in Peyronie's disease, fibrocystic breast problems, and those "just swollen glands" problems in groin & neck area.
Also in a google search, you will find lots of additional information, including sources for both tablets and solutions. It is recommended for thyroid protection in event of nuclear exposure. I suggest they start with Wikipedia for a list of uses for it.

Hydrogen Peroxide cures sore throat, any bacteria blister in or around the teeth and gums, insects bites, and cuts. Hydrogen Peroxide is great for sterlizing the affected areas. Does not sting my kids and grand kids trust it and enjoy seeing the little form bubbling up. I tell them it is killing the germs. Thank YOU a bunch. I also am a believer of its cures and yes, it was passed down by mom and grandmom and it will always be a very great cheap cure for people that cannot afford go to the doctor.
