Tonight I started looking for a reason why my local drug stores had no inventory of hydrogen peroxide. Both are major drugist suppliers in a large metro region; between both, there was 1 bottle.

In my search, the following web page came up. You may want to share the article with your readership'

Can you both post more details. There should be no reason you cannot take H2O2, you really should be looking at Vitamin C, L-Lysine though for your Heart Disease.

Hi Ted,

I have read a lot on Earth Clinic about Hydrogen peroxide and am keen to use it as a detox for my system, however I take Dexamphetamine which is prescribed by my doctor for ADHD. I want to know if this will cause a problem for me if I start to do detoxing or alkalizing my system? Do you have any suggestions for me? I have been dropping weight rapidly and have had low blood pressure with dizzy spells. I also have been having random bouts of diarrhoea which I'm told is just my way of handling the medication.

Regards, Pet

Hello: Since hearing about H202 therapy, I have been unable to learn what must be monitored while taking the therapy--separating fact from hype (or fear mongering by the pharmaceutical industries).

For example, one source suggested that there is a well-known though uncommon potential risk of this treatment called "hemolysis, " the destruction of red blood cells that can lead to potentially life-threatening anemia. " Therefore, the report states that a patient's hemoglobin and hematocrit values should be taken before and during treatment.

In any event, if there are real downsides, I'd like to know what they are.

Espirit..... I took hydrogen peroxide food grade for 4 months. I diluted 35 per cent food grade into 175ml of water, 3 to 4 drops once a day.. In the morning only... It worked out to be 0. 04 strength... At the start I was feeling energetic but in the 4th month my immune system virtually shut down... I got a really bad viral infection that had me coughing.... Phlegm.. Etc... I have had this infection for more than 3 months and only now my cough has just started to subside... But still bringing up phlegm..... I have never had such a bad viral infection in my life and I am certain the HP lowered my immune system..... Trust me... I purchased many books and read them all on HP and thought this would be beneficial to me..... Unfortunately it wasn't..... I believe now it definitely lowers your immune system and causes free radicals...... I just hope I have not done permanent damage to my body....

Is Baquacil for swimming pools a good scource for pure H2O2? There are no vendors for food grade in my area and I do not want to pay the haz mat charges to have it shipped. Also does anyone know how to mix H2O2 with aloe for skin conditions?

Has anyone had any experience using the H2O2 protocol with anyone who has dementia or alzheimer's? I tried to find comments from Ted on this but no luck. My mother is 65 and has been diagnosed with severe dementia, although her first diagnosis was a condition that mimicks dementia due to years of depression and keeping emotions inside. I can't remember the name of the condition. Anyway, I've read the book "The One Minute C--e" and they listed dementia as one of the conditions that H2O2 has helped. I have stage 4 metastatic renal cell carcinoma and I'm on the protocol and doing pretty well.

My dad decided to give this a shot with my mom and she's on day #4 and he & my brother both say they have seen small, but noticeable improvements already. I just want to make sure this wont harm her in any way because I also read that one of the causes of dementia & alzheimer's is the production of H2O2 in the brain and the oxidative stress it causes along with creating free radicals. I have come to completely trust the advice I've seen here, so Ted, if you get this I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you!

Are you sure it isn't a detox crisis? Perhaps it is something that needs to be evaluated and dosage adjusted.

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.

I bought my Food Grade 35% HP at my local natural health store. Let your fingers do the walking, as the old saying goes! Look in the phone book and call your local health stores. Likely they will carry the HP! janet

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!

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!

Posted by Ds (Us, Usa) on 08/16/2011

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 would like to hear, how it going on you with h202 remedy,? I have candida too I am so desperate so I tried to starve C.bacteria, I am on diet for now at over at least 2years yes I feel way more better but I still have problems with digestion, skin problems. I started to to drink 3 drops/day 35% H2O2 food grade with glass of water. I feel a bit energy but also some strange pain in my abdomal so according you, H2o2 helps to kill Candida? Should I comtinue my H2o2 therapy? That's my dilema

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.
