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.

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!

Is it safe to gargle and swallow a little bit of this? I've done it a few times and it seems to help with phlegm and mucus and my sleep apnea, I'm just kinda scared, would the food grade be healthier for me? Thank you, Julia

Julie - The recommendation for internal use has only been for Food Grade H2O2. The regular over the counter stuff generally has additives in it that you don't want to take internally. Many health food stores stock the Food Grade.

I read a lot of comments about h202 and all that worked were used the way they were suposed to be used , I am 78 years young { and I act it ] I started taking h2o2 last week 1oz h2o2 to 12oz of distilled water [not tap water] I am now taking 10 oz of h2o2 to 12 oz of distilled water , I did not feel bad to start with and I don't feel bad now but if it keeps all the bad stuff away from me like its suposed then I should live forever , which I had planed on doing anyway.

Hello everyone,
First off, I've done much research on HP injestion. 35% diluted. I will definetly be starting the therapy myself soon. I would also like others to try it as well. I have 2 questions:
1. My grandmother suffers from arthritis. She also has a hip replacment and I know that any foreing organs in a body will be attacked. Even though it is a hip replacement, will it still be attacked?
2. I have a relative that had been in a car crash that damaged the left side of her brain. She suffers from dementia that will soon turn into altziemers. Can it help her too?
thanks!

Please tell me whether a Nuvaring contraceptive is adversely affected by a 3% hydrogen peroxide douche. My daughter had been suffering from BV; I checked your site, suggested the hydrogen peroxide douche full strength for 3 minutes for one week. She followed it for the past two days, delighted that the smell and other symptoms are gone. She is going on Winter break to visit her LDR bf for a week. It suddenly struck me that she may have compromised the safety of her contraceptive method by following my advise. Before telling her anything, I called the company. They said to contact her OB/GYN doctor, who didn't know and recommended using an alternative method (condoms, etc. ). I have read that spermicide contains hydrogen peroxide, but don't know what strength, and if 3% is really damaging. I don't want to alarm her and create a problem for their quality time. Yet, if there is a strong chance that the hydrogen peroxide has killed the Nuvaring chemicals, then its best to tell her ASAP. Before doing so, I thought I better check with the pros on here. Thank you for any advice. PS... the Nuvaring is suppose to act like a birth control pill (throughout her system) yet its locally placed in the vagina like a diaphragm.

Ben, I was on H2o2, 35% food grade for 4 months and I stopped it. I was taking 3-4 drops in the morning only as my lifestyle did not allow me to take drops during the day.
I started off well but in the 4 month, I became very ill. It started with a runny nose, congestion and then this cough. I was virtually coughing ever minute, phlegm production, wheezing, etc. The dr told me my lungs are congested and he could hear crackles. I was bed ridden for 2 weeks. It has taken me 8 weeks and the coughing has just stopped now, I still produce a bit of phlegm but my voice is now hoarse.
I stopped the H2O2 as soon as I became sick. I was worried the hydrogen caused me to become sick. This could have been part of the detoxing process but I had to stop taking H2O2 as I would get worse by taking it.
I am starting to get better but definitely not 100% yet.
Through my research I have now started taking Herb Robert which help with providing more oxygen in the body.

For the last year I have been trying to talk myself into the Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy. I have it in my freezer, and every time I open it to get out various things one needs from a freezer... There it is. I would very much like an update on your condition! Did you continue with it? If so, how are you doing now?! Thank you!

To Joslyn, I had to chuckle when reading your post, because it sounded like me. I was so proud when I finally got the nerve to purchase the 35% HP (lucky I found some locally), stuck it in the freezer, and like you left it there for quite a while, lol. Kept trying to get up the nerve to at least dilute it. I think it was in there about 6 months, and then just recently I made up a 3% batch of it, put a nice label on it and that's as far as I've gotten so far, lol. I have had the nerve to try the borax in a liter of water, but only drink a small glass of it here and there. Never a whole liter in a day--I want to start doing at least that though. I would like to know if even just one drop of the hydrogren peroxide in the liter of borax water would be of benefit. If so, I think I could bring myself to at least start there. I want to thank Ben and others for sharing their experiences, that is so helpful. I'd also like to share that I use a spoonful of sauerkraut before any meal or snack--I'm not sure what it does, but it really seems to help.

I was told that the chlorine in our water supply neutralizes the effect of hydrogen peroxide.... For example, if I added some (peroxide) to a tub of water for bathing, the peroxide benefit would be lost because of the chlorine in the water. Is this correct?
Thank you.

You are right to be curious about that. Actually its worse. When used with chlorinated water, h2o2 gives off dangerous chlorine gas.

I have used Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (FGHP) PROPERLY - distilled water, strict adherence to the protocol -for years, without any health problems - just lots of benefits. Note that not all FGHP's are equal. Some can also be contaminated - the smell test is good, but always make sure to buy from a reputable company.
I am not medically trained, and have sometimes wondered about the oxidation->cancer argument. Well fast running streams have quite a high peroxide level, and mankind has drunk from these since the beginning.
Also human breast milk contains H2o2 - especially the first 'batch'.
The unfortunate fact is, that 1 in 2 Americans will contract cancer during their lifetime - 1 in 3 have it already without knowing. It is my guess that H202 might make the cancer symptoms more obvious - but that doesn't mean it 'caused' it.

Hi! Recently, I commenced a "get healthy" program that includes exercise, drinking diluted H2O2 (food grade) and apple cidar vinegar/honey (both raw). I must say, I've noticed some pleasant changes with my body already. However, I'm a little concerned since the hubby and I are trying to get pregnant and if I should become so, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue the program throughout the pregnancy. I'm not worried about the exercise (I watch my heart rate) or the cider/honey combo but I am a little apprehensive about the H2O2. According to my logic, it's perfectly safe and the extra oxygen might even be beneficial to a baby but logic isn't always reality :O) Can you tell me if you know of any women who carried successfully while on an h2o2 program? Thanks so much!

Hi Bob, Have found some reports about a study that was led by a team from the
University of California although the reports are all only second hand. In this study they took some lung cells and exposed them to cigarette smoke, H2O2 and other oxidants. They found
Cells exposed to cigarette smoke or hydrogen peroxide had the same molecular pathways of cancer, while the non-exposed cells did not. None of these reports said H2O2 has the same chemicals as cigarettes. The reports also have no info on what percentage the H2O2 was that was used in the study.
It has always been my understanding that when using any H2O2 therapy you need to take extra antioxidants. Maybe someone has some info on this.

Probably your body detoxing stuff from previous chemical toiletries usage.
It's very common to get detox reactions when starting HP protocol. If you keep the dose where it is or even lower it slightly without stopping it, it should clear up. You may find it better to use it more diluted anyway.
The HP molecules are no less effective, diluting with extra water just means there are less molecules in the water. Someone pointed out on an earlier post to demonstrate that if you put 25ml of vodka into a 4oz glass of water and 25ml into an 8ox glass, you still have 25ml of vodka, but with more water. It would still affect you the same....

I have been taking hydrogen peroxide for approx 4 months and the same thing happened to me. In fact I became quite ill, my left lung was diagnosed with dullness due to chronic bronchitis.. I stopped taking HP Food Grade as soon as I became sick... I just hope I don't have any long term side effects... Mind you I did lots of research and purchased about 6 different books and read everything I can about this stuff before I started taking it.. I was taking 3 drops of 35% food grade HP in 180ml of water once a day... In the morning... So I did definitely did not overdose on the stuff... After everything I have read and trialled the stuff for 4 months... I don't know if it actually provides and benefits.... mind you I have a friend of mine who has been taking it for the last 9 months and thinks its the best thing....
