Hydrogen Peroxide as a Natural Remedy: Benefits and Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide and DMSO

In the book "DMSO: Nature's Healer by Dr. Morton Walker (who acknowledges Dr.William C.Douglass, H202 advocator, in page vii), I read the following:

"If superoxide anions are present in quantity as a result of ecological alteration such as radiation toxicity, water pollution, chemotherapy, or other stressors, the body's ability to detoxify is affected. Instead, superoxide, and superoxide dismutase form hydrogen peroxide. Lipid peroxidation takes place. More hydroxyl radicals develop and bring on cellular damage with degenerative disease. DMSO offsets these effects and brings the body back to a more normal state."

"Free radical pathology is an intrincate part of virtually every metabolic dysfuction you can think of. To illustrate, cancer manufactures prodigious quantities of hydrogen peroxide, which then generate the hydroxyl radical. This is probably part of the reason why DMSO has proved to be valuable in the treatment of cancer."

*Bolds are mine.

I am very concerned because H202 is supposed to cure cancer. I don't understand. Does cancer manufactures its own hydrogen peroxide? Is hydrogen peroxide a danger in our blood and cells? It is nonsense.

I am taking hydrogen peroxide by inhalation right now. I have been following the advices of many physicians who advocate this molecule, including Dr.Williams.

Could you please give me an explanation? Am I misunderstanding something?

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Luis

ACV and 35% H2O2: Can you take them both during the same time period?

I am currently taking both ACV and 35% food grade h202 and have had no problems. The only problem is if you do one right after the other you might feel a little bloated.

To update those interested in the h202 therapy: I am on day 32 and up to 21 drops 3x daily. I couldn't even tell I was taking it until I got to about 12 drops 3x a day. At around 20 drops it starts tasting really metallic and is easier to get down if you hold your nose and just gulp it. It is one of those tastes kind of like medicine that really makes you shiver when you take it. It even makes you shiver when you "think" about taking it. Anyway, the side effects for me are really just I am sweating a lot, especially when I go workout at the gym. I am also much hotter than I normally am. I'm not a heavy person and usually the late 70's and early 80's in temperature feel good to me and I don't turn on the a/c until it gets in somewhere in the mid 80's. Those are the only things I have experienced.

Good luck!

WARNING!

When I came upon your section of hydrogen peroxide, I find the information very interesting and plan on trying out the oral and nasal inhaling method of HP. But Please caution your readers on the possible danger of using hydrogen peroxide in ENEMAS as suggested by someone on the section of different uses of hydrogen peroxide. Our colons are full of different kinds of bacterias. Wouldn't the oxygenating or bubbling effect be SO TREMENDOUS once the enema is administered that one could get an exploding intestine from the amount of gases created upon contact of HP with all the bacterias?

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Hey everyone, I tried to use 3% food grade h2o2 for a mouthwash 2 times a day and on the second day my mouth became really dry and I got a canker sore under my tongue, but I felt really energetic. I was wondering if I should dilute it more or maybe Just try the drops instead because that's much less potent, but I'm also afraid to take it internally. Do any of you have a suggestion. I would much appriciate your feedback. I suffer from candida and would really like to put an end to it. Thanks!

You can dilute it to 1.5% solution for mouthwash (preferably with distilled water) and you could also add to it some baking soda. Search EC. There is so many ways to use h2o2 for health. You can put some h2o2 in your bath. Search web for h2o2+bath ... You will also find many articles about h2o2 there http://educate-yourself.org/hp/index.shtml

Good Luck

Hi, we had the same issue with our hot tub - not wanting to use Bromine. We now use a product call "Clear choice" (for the past two years) which comes from the US, and uses bioremediation. It is very effective, very economical, not harmful and a lot cheaper than all the other chemicals.

Hi, This information may be on your site somewhere but I haven't accessed it yet. I was wondering if you could tell me of a chemical free solution to keeping a hot tub. The therapeutic value of hydrotheray is nullified by the chlorine/bromide we have to use. I do have an ultraviolet light. Do you recommend food grade hydrogen peroxide?

Thank you

I have used food grade h202 in my hot tube for many years. It works well.

Thanks for the info. We are new to having a hot tub and searching for the healthiest way too! Can you update us on what the 3rd thing was and which was best. How much H202 did you use and how often?

Thanks so much!

Audra

Hi Ron,

How do you determine the amount. How often do you add and do you use anything else?

We just bought a house with one, but have no experience and would prefer to keep it healthy without chlorine and chemicals if possible. Thanks for any advice!

Some people are referring to H2O2 simply as water. This is wrong!! H2O is water(2 molecules of Hydrogen and 1 molecule of Oxygen). H2O2 is Hydrogen Peroxide (2 molecules of each).

I would like to add that I do experience some itching on my arms after applying the diluted H2O2 spray on my arms. I wash my arms with soap and water prior to using the spray. The itching lasts about 1/2 hour and began after about 2 weeks of use. Could this be a reaction to the detox effects of the H2O2. I'm using this treatment because I have RA. Any comments?

My 10yr old son who wheezes with breathing in cold air had an attack and seemed to worsen as the day progressed. Labored breathing with wheezing sounds scary. I already had a nebulizer machine in the house from years past using albuterol mixtures. I placed about 1/3 cup of water in a separate container and one drop of 35% food grade H202. Stirred it and then filled to capacity the nebulizer holding cup. After about 20 minutes he seemed to breath alot easier but not 100% to normal. He slept for an hour then was able to get up and guess what? No heavy breathing! A little wheezing but not as much as before. I was hesitant to try the H2O2 as so many precautions and warnings. I'm glad I only put one drop into a separate container with more water. One drop in the nebulizer cup (about 2 tablespoons capacity) would have been way too much.

We are having good results for sinuses/lungs/itchy nose, anything breathing related with this: putting a squirt of plain HP into half a cup of water. Gargle with it and then, before spitting out, breathe thru it with your mouth open a few times.

HELLO, I BEEN SUFFERING FROM COPD, BRONCHITAS FOR YEARS NOW ON 3-LITERS OF OXYGEN AND CPAP AND TWO INHALERS AND STILL CAN'T BREATHE. AND OF COARSE I AM STILL SMOKING. TRYING TO LAY THEM DOWN BUT SAYING AND DOING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THANGS. NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW I STUBBLED IN HERE AT 2:30AM BUT I NEVER READ SUCH GOOD POSITIVE THANGS IN MY LIKE AS WHAT I AM READING RIGHT NOW. NOW YOU SAID FOOD GRADE H202, I CAN'T READ THE FINE PRINT ON THIS BOTTLE HERE BUT IT SAY'S 3% H202 U. S. P. ALRIGHT WHAT I WANT TO ASK YOU IS THE MEASURING PART OF IT. NOW I TOOK THE CAP OFF THE H202 BOTTLE POURED A COUPLE OF DROPS IN THE NASAL SPRAY BOTTLE FILLED WITH DISTILLED WATER PROBALLY NOT EVEN 1/2 TEASPOON SO IF YOU THINK THATS GOOD LET ME KNOW. NOW I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM AURA MIGRAINES FOR MORE THAN 20YEARS CAN YOU HELP ME THERE TO. THANKYOU VERY MUCH SINCERLY RICHARD IN OKLAHOMA

I am intrested in inhaling H202 and have question for experts out there. The part of the world where I live I could only find 6% H2O2 and now wondering how can I dilute the same to 3% H2O2.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I am taking 7 drops x 3 daily after coming down from 17 x 4 daily (25 X 3 times were just too much H202 at a time) At the same time I am taking a bath in H202 daily. Sometimes I feel a little queesy. Tell me, am I overdoing the h202 intake because besides pulling my face whenever I think of H2O2 I feel just wonderfully alive. Anyone out there who knows?

Ben (and any others who have done the HP drops in water therapy}. What's your feedback now? I have been looking into this for some time now, have ordered some food grade HP, but I am still scared to try it! I don't seem to be able to find much feedback from people who have completed it successfully and still recommend it. There seems to be a lot of feedback where people get to a certain stage, then either give up or you don't hear anything from them ever again. So - feedback from people where it's worked, pleeease. Thankyou.

THANKYOU SOOO MUCH FOR REPLYING TINA!

I have started. I am going very slowly - I am increasing by one drop of 35% each day, and only once a day. Chicken eh? lol. I'm up to 14 drops in a huge glass of fildered water, which I take first thing in the morning. I feel ok. So far, I have some very smelly diarrhea, which I'm assuming is good - getting rid of toxins etc, but nothing that freaks me out yet. I'm intending to keep increasing by about one drop per day until I'm taking the 20 drops three times a day. I will keep posting. lotslove. Glenys

Ok, I got up to 15 drops three times a day, but only for a few days. I take my hat off to those brave souls who get this far and keep going - I couldn't - Disgusting LOL! I was feeling nauseous, not from the effects, but from the taste - just couldn't handle even the thought of it. So now I've backed down to 15 drops in 750 mls water once a day, and am trying the inhalation method for the rest of the day. Not into the habit of remembering yet, but will get there. I wasn't sick to start off with, but I came across this site when I had a week off work with sinusitis, and I'll give this therapy my best shot for a while - see if I can fix my nose. I am sqirting 2% up my nose too, when my nose gets blocked. At first I couldn't even tolerate the smallest amount of HP in my nose, but now I almost welcome the sting. So far, I DO feel good, and I think my sinuses are improving. I will post again. Good luck everyone.

Hi Glenys, bin a bit busy lately, more energy and the sun is shining. I have stuck with the HP oral drops now for 4 months, and am almost pain free. I only suffer from tendon pain and muscle pain latelty, which my chiropractor believes might be from the rapid weight loss I experienced, I dropped 20 lbs in the first 3 months. I have posted another entry dated April 14, 2009 which is page one of the peroxide page at the moment which has more details of what I have been experienceing lately. I am glad that you gave it a try.

Hi Gleny, try the fresh coconut water if you have the HP taste as a problem. Its cheap and easy. Its like sterilized water made by nature, only better. Once you come to the maintenance level, try 5 to 10 drops (food Grade HP 35%) per nut every day. I am sure you will not feel the HP taste and receive some added benefits from the coconut water. I dont know if finding coconuts is a problem for you, if so, try with fresh apple juice. Rgs, Max

This is in response to " Tina's" post from Vanvouver. I was wondering where in this city of Vancouver she was able to find Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide ?

Hi Bruce - I'm not Tina but, when I lived in Vancouver, I bought my 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide from Choices Market on 16th Avenue (Vancouver). You may want to give them a call to see if they still stock it. Good luck!

to Bruce from New Westminster. Choices carries 35% Hydrogen Peroxide. The bottle says 35% and they have put a sticker on the front changing it to 29% , probably for some legal reason to keep it on the market. 4 litres for approx $60.00..smaller amts are cheaper of course.

Hi Glynes, Can you tell me please where in NZ can you buy 35% food grade h202?

I am new to this site and haven't spotted where questions should be submitted, sorry. Can I please ask this question here and you put it where it belongs? I hope you agree it's important. Here it is:-

"physicians like Dr. Farr believed that taking hydrogen peroxide orally could have a corrosive and tumorous effect on the stomach and small intestine and advised against using it. There is animal research supporting this caution".

He advocated intravenous treatment.

Does anyone know what these animal studies were, and what amounts of H2O2 were involved? Should we be worried about this?

when u started with the 3 drops, u probably shouldn't have increased it to 9 drops, that was probably too much if u r feeling sideeffects, u should probably discontinue it until you r feeling better, u do not want it to get too far out of hand, then u will have more problems than u can handle, good luck

Hydrogen peroxide has a lot of great uses, but I would be careful taking internally. I bought it as an O2 vitamin but I didn't notice any benefits. Try applying to a stain because it is really good at cleaning. Apply to a cut and see how it sizzles. I would be careful with the dosage. 9 drops sounds like too much.

hi i have been taking colloidal silver for 3 weeks then stopped and started taking a teaspoon of h202 4 times a day for 2 or 3 days i stop because of discomfort...on the 3rd day i was urinating brown and cloudy for 4 times urinating then it went away but after that i started feeling my kidneys for my 1st time as a dull aching pain from both of them and lower abdomine pain please tell me whats happening and whats wrong and how do i fix this its starting to swell and dull pain getting slightly more noticable..i went to doctor and told him what was happening and did a uro but he said i have nothing wrong as seen in urin...please let me know if i am in danger or what...!!!

One teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide? Of course you took too much. No wonder. Where on earth did you get that dosage? I truly hope you were not taking 35% food grade. Stop drinking peroxide! You are only supposed to start with a few drops. Drink a gallon of distilled water a day to flush out your kidneys.

The quantity you took is too high if you took 35% hydrogenperoxide. But with regards to your symptoms: symptoms are good. They mean that the hydrogenperoxide found an area that it deemed it needed correction.

I have had, since I started, February 3rd... 43 days ago, I have had several 2-3 day periods when I didn't feel well, then I had extremely smelly urine and/or fecal matters for a day or two, and thereafter I had a 2-3 week long clarity, increased mobility, reduced cravings, etc.

So I say, pray for "side effects" because they are not. If you are like me, storing lots of poisons from lifestyle, you want it to be digested by the hydrogen peroxide and empty it through the elimination channels.

One serious warning: if you don't want to re-absorb the poisons, make sure you have a serious colon cleansing to start with. Enemas, colonics, or any of the commercially available colonic cleansing supplements are good. Just do it.

I didn't do it, and I think, at least partially, that is why I had so many healing crisis in the 45 days.

Please let us know how you are doing? OK?

Even though I know that one and all will be hesitant to claim that H2O2 does in some way help for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus,or for that matter aid towards the destruction of it, I would like to know if anyone out there ever tried h2o2 for this and what their personal results were.

Hello Ben, I have read that hyrdogen peroxide cures a lot of different things, including HIV. But something else that is readily available, at no added expense, is also said to cure a lot of things including HIV, is urine therapy.

Ps ben, this is my second comment I hope both get successfully posted.

Just to mention most of Africans are lactose intolerant and dont drink milk unless its human milk. If your drinking milk from milk powder or cows etc that can give diareah and other problems, which paired with malnutrion causes of aids in Africa. Same with doctors aids drugs. you can have harmless hiv that the drugs and get aids.

Ps no Cocain or those hard street drugs either. you'll get aids that way. 1 Nutrition and 2 ozone therapy or the Hydrogen peroxide will do and 3 detoxify yourself. Get some sulfur so your cell walls can absorb nutrients. I don't want to Talk forever. Do the research and good luck.

Joyce from Joeltown: Run that therapy by me again (that is the urine therapy) please?

Anonymous from Truthville: Really we are no more lactose intolerant than the Britons or the Americans or the Chinese or the Canadians. However, I think one should start some research on the sulpher usage. Thank you so much

HIV is harmless... AIDS is caused by drugs (legal or illegal). The exception is Africa, where AIDS is caused by typical diseases of poverty (TB, malaria, parasite infestation, unclean water, malnutrition).

Forget HIV. There are a thousand good reasons to wear rubbers, but preventing AIDS is not one of them.

The discoverer of HIV (who won a Nobel Prize in 2008) had to say this about HIV:

It's a scam. It has been a scam since the early 80s.

I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE H.P METHOD SOME TIME BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND THE STABILIZER ISSUE MY 3% SAYS (STABILIZERS) RIGHT ON THE LABEL, DO I WANT THIS OR NOT? AND WHY OR WHY NOT?

To Johnny fr. Capo Bch., If you want to injest the Hydrogen Per. then you will need the 35% (food grade) only. It's the only type safe for ingesting. You can mix the 35% (3-4 drops) with Distilled water, and drink daily. Otherwise, for any other purpose you can use the drugstore type such as you have. The drugstore type is not safe for injesting, OK?!

You can find the 35%, Food Grade type at the following: { www.h2o2oxytech.com }. Click on the upper left of the home page, find the retailer near you! For additional info, and more complete & conclusive understanding of H-202, and applications of this Amazing Product, see the Book Called "Flood Your Body with Oxygen", by Ed McCabe.
To your health, Sam!

That was what I wanted to know about some forms of yeast and bacterial BV I have been trying for quite sometime to get rid of BV and cronic yeast infections and it always comes back I havent been sexualy active for quite sometimes but for some reason I can't seem to rid myself of the terriable smell that comes with these issues and I realy want to know if it is safe to douch with peroxide eve the food grade one I am looking for answers to this issue so please someone who has been through this respond.

windjroby>>> I feel you in this, I am battling this problem as I type, but I read on this site that half of h202 and half of h20 in an enema bottle that you may purchase from the store, empty out the solution and add 1/2 h202 and 1/2 of h20, insert, try to hold it in for a few seconds, of course u r laying in the tub w/o h20, for 7 days, u will see the difference and the odor will have gone immediately, good luck, it benefited me, the odor is no joke, God Bless

Hi Thomas...I had jock itch for 7 long years. The area affected went right round from my genital area and on my inner thighs to my rectal area, big red welts.

I researched jock itch and found out that tinea cruris (jock itch) was exactly the same as tinea pedis(athletes foot). Both are the same fungus.

Initially I started using athletes foot powder during the day, and after my shower at night I would douse the whole area, front and back with ordinary Milk of Magnesia (MoM) using cotton wool(this is very soothing, bye the way). I would leave this on all night, then wash it off in the shower the next morning. I was amazed when the jock itch completely disappeared without a trace within 3 days !! Killed it dead.

Leaving the MoM on overnight might not be such a good idea for those with sensitive skin. You can also apply the MoM and leave it on for just 20 minutes -- until it's dry and powdery -- then and wash off. The MoM has a pH of 10 -- very high -- which kills all fungus, yeast, bacteria etc. It's also best to apply a hydrating cream onto the skin area afterwards because MoM has such a drying effect on the skin.

Hi there, this question was for Sam!...I wondered if you can help me figure the amount of water as we increase our drops of Hydro peroxide 35% FG? I plan to go on for 3 months and get the health benefits.Thank-you

Hello everybody, I want to start to use H2O2 treatment, but is no food grade h2o2 here, in Costa Rica. I bought small bottle of h2o2 that has 10 vol. (I am sure is 3%) of strenght. And label says (in spanish) Formula : peroxido de hidrogeno........ 3.0g, aqua purrificada c. S. P......... 100.0 mg

Aqua purificada means purified, cleansed. I did pour the h2o2 in to the clean glass and hold on the sun for an hour, to see quality of h2o2. I, ve got some very miniscule air bubles on the botom of the glass. Should I start to take this kind (and only kind ) of H2O2 for my body cleansing ? Any other sugestions?

Thank you much. Milda

I am having trouble understanding the H2O2 Therapy-some say 3% in bath, some say 6%-7% Food Grade, some say 35% but indicate danger. I have been into "Orthomolecular Medicine" for 30 years.

I am taking all the major vitamins and minerals including-ginseng, aloe vera, ginger, hawthorne, turmeric curcumin, ginseng, bilberry, butchers broom, fengreek, 2ala's, chromium, garlic, bromlein, l-carnosine, coq10, bee pollen, calcium magnesium, potasium, flax seed, acidophilus, l-glutamine, worm wood, lecithin, grapeseed extract, selenium, zinc, glucosamine chondroitin, pancreatin, pau d' arco, l-argine, l-ornithine, l-lysine (I vary what I take).

I have had Candida for 20 years, now diabeties, angina, hardening of the arteries. Bluntly - H2O2 Seems the safest however there is much confusion about the correct dosage to take and the percentage of peroxide. Appreciate your prompt assistance in advance.

Hi Simona, Thank you for you explaination it was greatly helpful. However I would like to ask one more think, I've been reading about this therapy but never mentioned the illness could be cured with it. Does it cure fatigue? depression? stomach ulcers? hormonal imbalance etc...

I don't have these illness except experiencing some fatigue but my belived ones has few of the obove mentioned illness. Do you have any idea from the book you have or any site with detailed info?

Thank you

I take 2 teaspoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide in a half glass of cranberry/raspberry juice per day. This is equivalent to 16 drops of 35% h202. Goes down real well, no side effects, no stomach problems.

My question is, am I reducing the effects of h202, releasing 02 by mixing the h202 in juice instead of water? btw, sometimes i have taken 3 teaspoons of 3% h202 in a glass of cran/rasp juice, with no ill effects. (equivalent to 24 drops of 35% h202)! Need your inputs.
