Hydrogen Peroxide as a Natural Remedy: Benefits and Precautions

WARNING!

H202 not to be messed with:

I have taken 35% food grade h202 several times through the last 7 years of my life. always starting at 1 drop and increasing 1 drop a day as far as 25 drops and coming down in the same manner sometimes staying at a certain dosage for a few days.

One day i felt i was getting sick. I hadnt taken h202 in over a year. i decided to experiment with it. i took 10 drops one day skipped a few days and did it again. this is not reccomended as it caused my body severe problems. The h202 shocked my system into a clensing crisis through the skin via Herpes Zoster better known as Shingles.

it was very painful and the nerve which was affected followed into my eye and caused me to get iritis. the iritis caused my vision to go blurry in that eye. I was able to get steriod drops from the opthamologist and managed to rid myself of it after a few months.

I am a firm believer in h202 and its healing abilities but heed my warning: H202 is not to be taken for granted.

go to the following sites for more info: www.hps-online.com/hoxy.htm

http://drinkh2o2.com

They go over the different dilutions, etc. Very good info.

We have been reading the testimonials about the peroxide and healing cancer, I have cervical cancer and would like to know if anyone knows where to find the 0% peroxide and how much they used mixed with how much water and how long they did it. Anyone with information would be greatly appreciated. I keep hearing stories about someone who knows someone who did it but can't find anyone to talk to that did it themselves to find out how much, when, where, etc.... Thanks for any answers I can get, Lisa

If you buy FG H2o2 online there is usually information posted about how to dose it. But I am mainly writing a reply because at the current age of 27, I have tested up to grade 2 in cervical cancerous lesions. I have been back and forth, had biopsies and numerous paps. I know that when I am diligent about my supplements, I always test healthy. Specifically, the supplements that make the most difference are:

DIM, folate(not folic acid), iodine, topical progesterone and some sort of liver support supplement (I take NOW's version)

Have your hormones tested, if they are out of whack you need to balance them.

I hear that when it comes to female issues the cause is often hormones. It was for me.. I had my blood tested back in Jan and my estrogen levels were 597(wayyy to high for a 28 yearold with out children) and my progesterone was waaay too low.

After several months of supplementation I retested and had another pap. Pap is normal and all my hormones are balancing.

Start Turmeric...........It is fantastic...also use a lot of pepper with it to increase absorption up to 20 times....

C: This is a good protocol your using as noted with positive results, except one thing needs fine tuning. Methylation is very important and simply taking folate isn't near good enough. For best methylation take 1000mcg B-12 w/ 500 mcg Folic Acid or Folate + 500mg TMG, or 200-400mg Sam-e.

How do I use h202 in a steam inhaler? I have an asthma and I want to be helped.

Hydrogen Peroxide has worked great for my acne and periodic cold sores. Once or twice a day I swab my face with it after washing. I also rinse with it after brushing. I have not had a blemish or cold sore since!

So.... what was the HP Therapy you received that helped you?? Was it Inhaled? Drank?? The Dose? How many Days??? Please fill in all the blanks.....

Thanks for your info...

Hey Paul, It's been a year since you had the treatment for your lungs, are you still doing well? I have a consultation next Monday to setup an appointment for having the peroxide IV. I have emphysema and am hoping to improve my quality of life.

Hey Jody, my father is suffering from COPD (chronic emphysema).I read about you going to try IV treatment for emphysema in December last year. Can you tell me about your experience with it so if we can also give it a try?

My chiropractor has recommended hydrogen peroxide inhalation for treatment of COPD/emphysema and totally believes this can work. Would like some input as to others who have tried this and how they are doing.

How is the back pain now that a year has passed?

hi, 35% strength or 3% strength you used? how much time you left between applications? - thanks

Aaaarrhhhh!! Do not use full strength 35% hydrogen peroxide!!! Use only distilled water and put 1% hydrogen peroxide to 11 & water this makes 3% 1x11=3%. I hope to God you never used full 35% it's lethal!! Love Andrea C

RE: Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade: Hi, can anyone advise if this remedy would be worth trying for Hepatitis C? I don't want to go on Interferon (again) as it has left a horrible bunch of side effects like brain fogg and arthritis to name a few. If it is worth a try what would you recommend the dosage to be in the beginning to help clear this virus?

Hey Patty, check out what was said here. 01/26/2008: BECCA from Farmington, Utah https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/hep_c.html#HYDROGENPEROXIDE
She talks about her Hep c and how she had good results. Hope this helps

i use to work at a lowes and was loading some wood on a huge flat bed, i hopped down as easy as i could and had a freak thing happen where my hips came out of place,the doc gave me pills well as a chain reaction a few spots in my back and neck came out finally a year later i read about chripractors, and they have helped greatly, but in my mid back i would get that burning maybe inflamation...almost like a phantom pain. id go in to the chiropractor early and he would say i shouldnt have been hurting bad bc i really wasnt out,

i started taking h202 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide and my back will stop burning and my whole body feels more flexible,..you have to have the chiro but the h202 really helped with the inflammation...

I found out about Hydrogen Peroxide and Apple Cider Vinegar through this site. I have experienced how wonderful these two products are to the body. I originally purchased H2O2 for general health, but little did I know it would get rid of the sore throat almost instantly. One morning I woke up with a sore throat, and decided to try my H2O2, and I was shocked with the results. I took my Food Grade H2O2 35% with Coke, not the greatest idea, lol. So a full can (355ml) Coke + 15 drops of Food Grade H2O2 and and drank her fast as possible, my throat had a slight tingle, but within 10 minutes of ingesting the H2O2 my throat soreness was completely gone. My GF had the same problem, was skeptical of the H2O2, but I finally got her to take it, and she was surprised at how well it works to get rid of sore throats.

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.

You're using too much. Try just a drop.

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. :)

To the boy with the 'hairy tongue' It sounds like you have "thrush" go see a doctor.

I got the 'hairy tongue' symptom also. But, I followed Ted's info somewhere that the HP should be diluted - I was taking 3%. I stopped taking the HP for a week, then began with a diluted form and my hairy tongue disappeared, and did not occur again. It did not seem like thrush was involved. Gigi

On the suggested use as a foliar feed, are you referring to using the 3% or 35% solution?

Hello Dave, my husband also has arthritis, which is especially bad in the winter time. Could you be more specific on the recipe for the topical. such as how many drops of the food grade hydrogen peroxide to how many cups. Thanks, Angie.

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,

Pecs

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

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!

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.

Doesn't HP provide oxygen to the body???

I have been drinking 6 drops of hydrogen peroxide in a bottle of water 2 times daily for 3 days and have developed 4 HUGE painful zits on my chin. They feel almost like boils. Any reasons as to why?

Hi Beth, Those huge 4 zits could just be coincicence or it could be that your peroxide is making some bad guys exit through the closest route - your skin.

I have read that toothpaste will dry up those zits but I personally would probably use peroxide externally on them because it doesn't contain all that toxin called fluoride that brings us other unwanted problems, and it does kill off bad guys.

Hi Joyce, Thank you for your speedy reply. I have a quick question though, should I continue the peroxide-water? I'm not sure. I would like to clean my liver but not sure how to start? any comments are appreciated. Thank you so much for your care and your time, Bev.

If your problem is history, why continue the treatment? You can find a good liver cleanse at any health food store and you will likely find that they are loaded with two weeds everyone is trying to eradicate from their yards: thistle and dandelions! Both are known to be liver friendly.

You may have experienced the skin eruptions because of the toxins leaving your body quickly-- certain parts of the face correspond to organs too- I remember reading once that the chin reacts from the liver- ..boils tend to hurt reeeally bad...and go deep into the tissue--I think you'd know ...hydrogen peroxide on them will help clear them out. I think I would tough it out and don't stop too early out of fear...that's usually why people don't get results they are seeking. Best luck to you!

If you will look up boils on the EC site, you will find that Turmeric will help you get rid of boils. It is so good that it even helps heal MRSA boils. Give it a look-see.

Caution drinking Hydrogen Peroxide: I tried drinking less than a quarter capful of Rite Aid brand 3% hydrogen peroxide this morning in a 12 oz glass of water. I immediately felt my body tingling and I drank another glass of water to dilute the effect. Within minutes I felt a weird sensation and had to rush to the bathroom. I have been rushing to the bathroom practically all morning. I did not know whether to laugh or cry because I suffer from chronic constipation and I thought I welcome the frequent bathroom visits but not due to an upset stomach. I drank another glass of water and continued feeling funny. I went to Rite Aid and spoke to the pharmacist who told me I should be okay. I felt better after having a late breakfast. I have a sensitive stomach and I was told the HP may have been too much of an irritant for it. Just a word of caution if you are going to use 3% like I did for the first time, maybe you should start with one drop and see the effect or diarrhea and a racing pulse may be the side effect for a while. It is now about five hours later and I feel almost normal.

I would never ingest over-the-counter HP, because of the additives. That is probably what made you nauseous!

Over the counter 3.5% HP is NOT food grade, it is for topical use and has metallics in it that are harmful when consumed. 35% FOOD GRADE HP (diluted) is the only HP safe for consuming.

I have been on this site for quite some time now, and this is the first that I have heard of about using h2o2 for a laxative, is there anymore information on h202 for a laxative. please inform me, thanx

WARNING!

I've been a fan of Earth Clinic's remedies for a long time. Had success with oil pulling, leaching out fluoride, ACV with baking soda, but one remedy I have to warn against is the oxygen therapy for cancer. I have breast cancer and tried the HBOT (oxygen tank). It was $6,000 for 40 sessions. At the end of these sessions my tumor grew from a large grape size to a large grapefruit size. In addition I tried soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide and taking Bill's spray. This irritated the tumor and sprouted another tumor in my lymph node area under my arm. Later from a doctor I found out that that a lot of cancer patients using external remedied applied cause the tumors to grow out of the skin and cause other more serious problems. So I just want to warn those of you with cancer to be weary.

Has anyone head about apricot seed (a natural cure for cancer)? You should do research on it.Very informative stuff and it really truely works.

Carol, For help w/Cancer look into red grape cleansing & detoxing. See the book "the Grape Cure", by Johanna Brandt. www.thegrapecure.com

Also read about cayenne pepper and its powerful effects in healing/reversing cancer. Take 40,000 H.U.(capsule) 3x/p/day to start, and best after a meal or with apple juice, do not take on empty stomach, it will be uncomfortable. Best success & blessings to you. S.

mentioning different therapies....has anyone read or heard of essiac?? it's an herbal blend handed down by Ojibwa medicine woman in Canada many years ago.

Greetings, I have been doing research on Oxygen Therapy and sure enough your site was the first to come up.

In an article you state "To quote from the article: "The idea behind ingesting hydrogen peroxide stems from a now-discredited theory that cancer and AIDS thrive on a lack of oxygen in the body." ....

Upon further investigation I have found studies that discredit the claim that cancer thrives on a lack of oxygen on the body. I reference you to Aisenberg, A. Energy Pathways of Hepatoma No. 5123. Nature 191 pages 1314-1315. 1961.

I would also like to reference you to http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/oxygen.html

I have checked a number of these sources and have found them to be valid. I do not intend to argue the claims of the effectiveness of H2O2 used by some of your subscribers, as it clearly has worked for them. Rather I wish to argue the means by which it is effective. H2O2 is rapidly degraded by normal elements in the body, superoxide dismutase for instance. Any amount of H2O2 taken into the body is quite negligable, and furthermore has no appreciable affect of O2 concentrations in the blood. Tom

Hi Jimmy,

My mom has PF and was diagnosed since 2005,she is on continous oxygen and the dr says she is in the advance stage. Can you tell how much of H202 you used and did you increase the amount of a period of time and how frequently.I would appreciate any help

Thanks
Vinnie

Was hoping to get a follow up from the person who was using hydrogen peroxide for pulmonary fibrosis.

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.

I don't get this because I always use peroxide for all kinds of things,even on my pets for all kinds of things also. Never had any problems. What kind of problems did it talk about?

Hello, I am interested in the person who cured her candida with H2O2. i would like to know exact measurements as i also have candida. Many thanks.

I read a lot about curing candidiasis. Cures are often so complicated that one becomes ill by reading them. How about H2O2 ? How to use it, what to eat - not to eat - during the cure ?

Hi Guibert, Google Donna Gates or go to The Body Ecology Diet on facebook and there is a whole system in place that tells you exactly what to do when and what to eat/not eat all set up for you! It's really quite amazing and well thought out with lots of recipes and ideas to help with cleaning the body but very much with candida in mind as well. Hope this helps you, Lisa

I believe you are only supposed to use 3%. 35% is way too strong. Dilute your peroxide to 3%.

Good luck

If the goal of peroxide therapy is to flood the body with oxygen, would an oxygen machine given for bronchitis work just as well? Thank you!

I use over the counter 3% hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash, but have always disliked the aftertaste. I purchased a bottle of peppermint oil from the baking section of my local market, and put one tablespoon in an eight ounce bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Mouth feels very clean (and now minty fresh, too!) Others may like to add their favorite flavors, increasing or decreasing the measurement according to taste. Make sure to GENTLY shake your bottle before opening to keep peppermint oil evenly distributed, and keep your mouthwash in an opaque bottle (I use the same brown bottle purchased at the dollar store). Refrigerate if your bathroom is very warm, and keep bottle out of direct sunlight.
