Just to add a bit to the conversation about h2o2- do your Research on this miracle product please!! All it is is a water molecule with an extra oxygen attached. It easily breaks down into water and oxygen, so use of this product introduces more oxygen into your environment/body. This extra oxygen makes for an unsuitable environment for germs and bacteria. There's more to it than that, but there's the short version. Why won't you ever hear of h2o2? It's cheap. Naturally occurring. Can't be patented. No money making potential really. H2o2 is found in rainwater and breast milk ( especially the first meal a nursing baby gets) can be used to replace literally hundreds of household, personal care, petcare, garden, cleaning, laundry, on and on products. It can be taken internally, but you need to buy a food grade product ( available online) and dilute it yourself. It is very important to read all precautions when using h2o2. There are very successful treatments for many many diseases of the body including cancer, centered around h2o2. Please do your own additional research, but I feel it is one of the healthiest switches I have ever made in my lifestyle. Namaste everyone :)

★★★☆☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I have been struggling with various health issues for a decade now. My white blood cell count has been high for that entire period. Western medicine has failed me completely - the doctors/specialist have no idea whats causing my troubles.
I believe it is a candida problem.
I am desperate so I tried first the H2O2 inhalation method for a few months - amazing results. Much better quality of sleep. Increased energy. Faster reflexes. Happy mood.
I did develop a rather painfull cough during this treatment but I believe thats simply a moron problem. (I still smoke)
Next I moved on the H2O2 internal use therapy. This has been an extremely hard road. I took me almost 3 months to get up to 25 drops. I had to take it slowly due to side effects. (nothing too bad though - I was able to work the entire period)
Once I hit 25 drops 3 times a day all hell broke loose.
I should point out at this point my taking the dose 3 times a day became patchy, sometimes I could only make myself do it twice a day.
First off I got an extremely nasty rash all over my neck (both sides) and one side of my face. These rashes had pimple like heads that would break and become infected. At one point for about 3 days I couldn't even turn my neck - it was that swallen. I ended up treating this with DermAid (a hydrocortisone 0. 5% cream) It was almost 2 weeks before I could shave again. (and even then it was not a good experience)
Once the rash was under control I managed to get the dose back up to 25 drops x 3 times a day. At this point during the treatment whenever I took at dose I would go to sleep within about 45mins for 2-3 hours. The rash issue was ongoing but never severe. My toilet experience was all over the place. I developed a severe brain fog. I had both kidney and liver pain. (some days unable to stable upright) I could no longer continue the treatment and work. Life being what it is I had to take breaks from the treatment whenever any mission critical work came up that I could not put off. I did power on with the treatment. (by this point I had decided I would continue with treatment no matter what - like I said I am desperate for a fix)
I have been able to take an entire week off work now and manged to dose myself properly (25drops x 3 times a day) for 5 days. By the 5th day I feared for my life. (it is day 7 of this period now)
I developed flu like symptoms. I grew a pimple like sore on my face which has burst and has been pumping out crazy amounts of puss. (on my chin) When it was at it's peak it felt like I needed root canels on half my teeth! The swelling was substantial. I started developing a boil on my butt.
Any cut no matter how small gets massively infected. I somehow nicked myself while sleeping one night. (an extremely small scratch - maybe 2mm) That turned into my finger swelling right up within a few hours. Funnily enough I treat these infections with 3% h2o2 - works a charm. (I have had several now) Both my nostrals grew zits inside them which have become infected. trust me when I tell you - this drives you nuts especially with the flu like symptoms.
Being the sucker for punishment that I am I decided to go see my GP and tell him what I was doing to see what his opinion was. What a waste of time. I was told western medicine does not believe it any form of detox and that all my problems are psychosomatic. He then proceeded to give me a depression test which actually showed I am quite positive person these days. (I was not before I alkalised my body but thats another story)
I believe the cause of my suffering is candida toxins/poisons flooding my system as they die.
I remain confident that h2o2 will change my life - regardless of the extreme side effects I have suffered.
The purpose behind this post is 2 things -
1> I want to do my bit in making sure that people out there considering h2o2 treatment realise how rough it can be. *** please note I have not described all side effects just the worst in my experience.
2> I am hoping someone who has completed the h2o2 internal therapy with similar problems might consider contacting me and telling me its been worth it for them
If anyone has any questions, ideas, thoughts (good or bad) please feel free to message me. Due to size of post concerns I have left quite a bit out of this.
I will post again once I have finished the therapy.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all of the wisdom on this site. I have been using all of the information for a couple of years but haven't written in till now. Two of my kids (14 and 18) came down with colds this week and then started running fevers. My daughter has also been vomitting so has not been able to do the lysine/Vit C remedy for flu. She also threw up the capful of HP in 1 litre of water remedy so I tried the HP in a cool mist humidifier... I added 2 capfuls to the resevoir of water and after 12 hours of sleep she woke up - no fever, no sore throat!
Arthritis

I'm age 76, have basically avoided doctors for about 45 years now, as I know they never get to the CAUSE of any of our ailments. I learned about right nutrition and fasting as a natural route to healing if I had any problems, and that has basically been adequate. Until a couple months ago when I developed what I suppose was arthritic PAIN in my left shoulder/elbow/wrist/ hand...and I'm left-handed! And it would keep me miserable enough I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't seem to shake it by what I knew to do. I didn't really want to fast at length, as in recent years I'm skinnier (5'3" and about 115): people ask too many questions and besides, it's uncomfortable not to have enough padding on your bones! (been there/done that) So, I prayed, and I believe it was God who showed me info about taking peroxide. I did quite a bit of research on it and was convinced it was a valid route to go. I began 12 days ago (continuing) with just ONE cautious drop, then TWO DROPS the next morning (after that I went to 3 drops 3x a day, and building up)...and to my amazement about a couple hours after I took those two drops, I realized ALL that pain I had suffered with for WEEKS was GONE. Wow. Is that fantastic, or what?! And it hasn't come back.
I'm continuing because I saw that the peroxide has a cleansing effect much like the fasting does, except I don't have to lose weight in the process. I have a few little matters that I mostly ignored because they don't HURT (nothing like some pain for motivation to change!!)....so decided to deal with them via the peroxide. I have a slight bit of tinnitus (which I mostly don't think about, but it's there so could get worse?), my eyesight (I wear reading glasses), my hearing (I miss some conversation), my BRAIN (ach! "senior moments" are not funny, really)...might the peroxide help in those????? I'm hoping! :-)
A couple days ago I had some cold symptoms develop, ( a LOT of sneezing and MUCH clear nasal discharge) which I know were just to be expected...but I seem to be past that. I have a couple questions!? About day nine I was nauseous after taking the peroxide in the morning, so thought to put four drops of my orange-flavored liquid stevia in each time, is that OK? Some places said use juice or milk, but other places said just water, and I hate to go through all this and not have it as effective as possible! AND for a while now I have put sea salt at the rate of a teaspoon per gallon of drinking water, as that is what Dr. Batmanghelidge says we need...is that OK with the peroxide? (He didn't say put it in drinking water; that was my idea since I don't like to salt my food much...and the water doesn't taste salty, just good) I'm using reverse osmosis water by the gallon from our local health store. I'm thinking of getting a reverse osmosis system for under my kitchen sink: they seem reasonable in price. Can anyone un-confuse me about the 3/4/5 phase systems in them, which is adequate?? I'll let y'all know how this peroxide regimen treats me in days ahead! I do believe my brain is slightly more clear already. :-) Oh, and I have for years had irregular sleep (I hate to call it insomnia)...hope maybe that is a problem the peroxide might help. Am I expecting miracles?! Well, that arthritic pain gone in two days was a miracle, wasn't it?!
2/16/2009: Jean from Somerset, KY writes, "I have another question. I read we should build up gradually to taking the peroxide AND decrease gradually, but I haven't read WHY the gradual decrease. What would happen if some morning I am tempted to think, I CAN'T DO THIS ONE MORE DAY!! (??) I might deal with that thought better if know ahead of time why I should and can decrease gradually???"
Lung Issues

I got an H202 treatment at a clinic in Scottsdale and was shocked how it helped clear up my lungs. I was sick for a week but took it all in stride as I knew it was because the H202 was clearing out my lungs and other toxins in my body. I am a firm believer in H202 therapy and I looked at it like this...It can't hurt me...I might as well try it. And am glad I did. PJ

I am sorry I was not clear. You can try two methods.
First I take a bottle of shampoo (i work in ml...hahaha 500ml or 600ml and use some until I can fit about 100ml H2O2 in the bottle, about a 1/4 cup of H2O2). I pour it in and shake the bottle. You have to shake the bottle everytime you use it otherwise the H2O2 comes out first (it is floating on the top). Wash you hair as normal and rinse it. If you can keep it on the hair a few minutes do so. If you keep it on very long like 30 minutes every time your hair will start to become lighter so be careful if you don't want the colour to change.
The second method is more direct and I use it when I feel my scalp needs rejuvenation. (I live in China and I think the water here is not clean and sometime my scalp ich from irritation or dryness). I then just wet my hair and comb in some H2O2 and leave it on to dry. It smells a little but when you then wash and rinse your hair it becomes very soft and shiny.
I have been doing this since the '70s and my hair is really in good condition. I am also happy to report that I have no grey hair! a nice side effect. Regards

I mix 3% topical hydrogen peroxide with salt and a little bubble bath as a wetting agent and apply it to my skin. This has been incredible! With the added salt it is absorbed into the body, but does not burn the skin at all. It seems like the salt should make it burn more, but it helps the body absorb it and does not burn the skin. Even if it gets into a cut with the salt and wetting agent it does not hurt anywhere near as much as straight hydrogen peroxide. I first started using it to treat a facial condition, but I was so impressed with the results that I began using it on larger areas of my body. Now about once a month I mix about a half pint of this solution and sponge bath my entire body with it. I have been doing this for about two years with no adverse results, and my body seems to have a more youthful appearance. I believe it kills a wide range of organisms that reside within the body, yet does not harm the body's own cell tissue. I know it sounds wacky, but I believe that anyone who tries this treatment will be amazed by the results.

H2O2 offers an extra molecule of oxygen to fight off bad bacteria that grows best in low oxygen environments. The good bacteria tends to do well in higher oxygen environments so, used in proper dosage, I would think the H2O2 would be beneficial to the digestive tract. Regarding the previously discussed nausea: defective cells being killed off by H2O2 and removed from the body can cause a feeling of nausea.
Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2
Posted by Joe (San Diego, California USA) on 02/19/2012
I read the post regarding stabilzers and bought the 3% drug store type from Wal Mart & Kogers. I didn't think there were any it the product because listed on the label under inactive ingredient it only says purified water on both bottles. Also did the sunlight test and bubble test and both bottles passed. After ingesting H202 for a couple of days I called the poisen info. # on the back of the bottle and they had no information but advised against ingesting. The Kroger's bottle had a product information 800 number that I called. I asked if the product contained stablizers and in about one minute I had an answer. The kind women read off about five chemical stablizers and additives that were not listed on the label. As soon as I hung up I went online and ordered 35% Food Grade H202. I did use the rest of the two bottles to put in my bath. To those of you who posted that you are drinking the 3% H202 from your local CVS. Rite Aid's or Walgreens I highly recommend you check out what's in it before you continue drinking it.
Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2
Posted by Wendy (Silsbee, Tx) on 05/10/2012
When buying the Food Grade H202 it has to be bought online. It cannot be bought in stores, the food grade H202 is 35%, yes it may be more costly, but it's better to be safe than sorry using regular peroxide. Mixing the H202 with a 8oz. glass of distilled water and drinking it daily has proven to help someone with cancer, to this day he is still free of cancer.

When I do this I use the recipe from "The One Minute C---e" book by Madison Cavanaugh. You start with one drop of food grade 35% HP in 8 oz, 3x per day, and increase by one drop every day until you reach 30 drops or so. You can find the book on eBay. It's getting harder to find and more expensive.

Non Food Grade 3% Vs Food Grade 35%
Posted by Paracelsus (Orlando, Fl) on 08/14/2020 46 posts
★★★★★
I do understand that you're supposed to take food grade. However, the 3% solution from the drugstore works well also. People imagine that somehow it will hurt you. How is that possible? The cheap stuff is made to put on an open wound, which means it will enter your blood stream. It is also recommended as a mouth wash. You really think that no H2O2 will enter your bloodstream while swishing it around in your mouth? Of course it does. So while food grade might be ideal, the cheap stuff is safe or you wouldn't be able to survive pouring it on open wounds.
The label on the 3% drug store version says you can use it as an oral debridement but not to drink it. Imo, that label is simply there to protect the manufacturer from being sued by people who think you should be drinking H2O2 like soda or water in massive amounts. It is inevitable that you will ingest a few drops each time you rinse your mouth with H2O2.
Also, don't fret if you can't find 35% solution. You can use a lower concentration but you just have to increase the dosage. E.g. if you get the 12% concentration, then you just triple the number of drops in the same amount of water (3x12%=36%). Same for the 3%. Just multiply by 12 x.

They both explain how to use H2O2 35% Food Grade. Or you can Youtube Kevin Trudeau, "The One Minute C--e"! I have (or had cancer) and am determined to survive. This along with Vit B17, Turmeric, the Graviola plant (or soursop), and many other vitamins, along with minerals from a 70-80% raw/organic diet, excluding completely red meats, processed food, fast food, pesticides, hormone-free, etc! I don't believe in luck but I wish you the best with God's Hand!!

To Ender from Robertsdale , Al. Why would you say that distilled water is poisonous? This is false. I have been drinking about 3 liters of distilled water per day for the last 18 years(since 1992). Filtering water only removes SOME of the contaminants but steam distilling water removes a lot more. Distilled water is said to leach out some minerals but who does't want unhealthy things leached out of their bodies as long as they regularly add back in the healthy life-promoting minerals and trace elements with good nutrition and supplementation.

H2O2 in ear for colds: I get sick almost every month, usually with a bad cold during, or right after, my period. I tried H2O2 in my ears right when I was getting that familiar tingle in the back of my throat and tired feeling I always get before a cold. I used about a half a capful of 3% hydrogen peroxide poured into my ears, one at a time, lying on my side and let it sit and fizz for about 10 minutes each before dumping it out. The itchy feeling started disappearing right away and the next day I wasn't sick as I was sure I would be. I normally get sick for a good week or two when I do, so I was really glad it worked!
Apple Cider Vinegar and H2O2

Frank, I have been using FGHP (35%) for many years with Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. I am 56 yrs old now and have only great things to say about it, Thanks to God. I started using it at age 30. I had severe joint and back pain at the time. After three months, starting with 3 drops 2 to 3 times daily (FGHP) and 1 Capful of the Cider Vinegar, working up to 25 drops of FGHP 2 to 3 times daily, I've had astronomical results. The results were verified by my then girlfriend who was also useing the same program. (1) No more heavy or bad breath, (2) No body odor, (3) You will only need approximately 4 to 5 hours of sleep per day and when you awaken you will be wide awake, not sluggish or groggy. After you reach the 25 drop level you can then taper off. Find the instructions on line. Oh, people think I'm no more than 30-35yrs old! Enjoy.

I've been using 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide for some time now. I bought a quart and it came with the dropper bottle. I simply used a small funnel and filled the bottle with about 1 ounce of the 35% liquid and followed the protocol as outlined by Dr. Williams (his articles are posted on the internet). I started with 6 drops in a 16 oz. bottle of water (he recommends distilled water which is much cheaper). Then I added two drops a day as recommended.
The H2O2 far exceeded expectations! I recovered much faster from my running and tennis and my endurance and stamina are way higher than before. The morning stuffiness, runny nose, etc. are gone-no allergies. This is amazing stuff and I'm telling all my friends!

I was ill for 2 years with severe candida throughout my entire body. Nothing worked to take away the pain from infected ovaries, kidneys, urinary tract, bowel etc... as I was given copious amounts of antibiotics to supposedly cure me - I just got sicker. Some elderly lady in a health food store told me to do a total elimination diet. I subsisted on short grain brown rice and steamed vegetables with distilled water for 2 months coupled with food grade hydrogen peroxide in specific amounts and intervals. On the third month I was finally pain-free the candida completely gone! It was a miracle and 15 years later I'm as normal as can be and am able to eat and drink whatever I want. I still take the H202 and aloe vera juice or Cider Vinegar in the mornings and am very aware of what I eat and drink. Being sick teaches you a lot of lessons. It also told me about the power of prayer and positive thinking.
COPD, Dry Peeling Feet

I love this website. The thought of losing so many loved ones recently makes me very sad. Had I known about Earth Clinic, perhaps they would still be here. I have been using several different remedies. I tried the hydrogen peroxide method first. I use it in my water mostly, but sometimes I use the spray pump. I smoke heavily and my breathing has changed so much for the better. I have much more energy and overall feel good. I am diabetic and have very dry peeling feet. I soak my feet in enough water to cover the top of my feet and add about 1/2 cup of peroxide to the water and soak about 30 minutes or longer if I have the time. After 2 times, I could see my feet start to heal.
Also, I found 3% peroxide without stabilizers at the family dollar store. I can taste the difference. Thank you so much.

It is not the peroxide that caused your cancer. I am thinking it was already there and if you continued to use the treatment of food grade peroxide it would have cured the cancer. A dear friend of mine had anal cancer and did treatments of food grade P. for one month and a butt rinse of baking soda and the cancer is gone. I hope you have found a cure. Bloodroot is good too.

there are many God given remedies out here, you just have to do your research

I've used brown bottle HP 3% to help disinfect ears after swimming in dirty seawater and to help eliminate some ear wax. I've always heard it fizzing away like it's boiling and doing something active.
I got some food grade HP 3% to nebulize and breathe. I switched to that for my ears thinking it would be better. But when I use the food grade I don't hear any fizzing noise so I don't have the confidence it's doing the same as the brown bottle HP. Does anyone have any comment to that?

Using 35% H2O2 at 10 drops in 12 oz of distilled water before eating, first thing in morning has reduced my Warfarin amount for the last 5 weeks. INR levels tested weekly.
Started out 1 drop and increased to 10 over several weeks time.
No nausea or other discomfort, aside from some loose stools, I feel great.
Have held steady at 10 drops for 2 weeks now and thinking about increasing H2O2 until some decrease in effectiveness or discomfort is observed.
Tested at Portland VA hospital and Anti-Coag Nutritionists are aware and said no known contraindications.
First started out with 1 drop and increased every 4-5 days.
Have held steady at 10 drops for a couple of weeks.

My 89 year old father had bedsores that he had contracted while at hospital. They were really deep wounds, about 1 cm deep. My sister treated the wounds with hydrogen-peroxide.
