My friend who cured his cancer (huge 2 grapefruit tumor in stomach) used food grade h202 in a bath (2 cups per bath) and soaking in it (not eyes) for 20 minutes to infuse vessels with oxygen. this combined with ozone water 2x's a day, diet and exercise and he has eliminated cancer. Do you know of any other people using Hydrogen peroxide (food grade) this way?

Gingivitis

I have used hydrogen peroxide for more than 40 years. My first encounter was from my dentist. I had the trench mouth and he told me to gargle with hydrogen peroxide. I have been using ever since. I would really like more information on hydrogen peroxide uses.

EC: Trench mouth is a painful form of gingivitis. The term "trench mouth" comes from WWI, when painful bacterial infection and ulceration of the gums was common among soldiers.

Ear and Sinus Issues

First, thank you for the great website--I've been searching for this type of confirmation for several days now. My story is that I use earplugs when I sleep, as I awake easily. About a week ago, I had taken a shower right before bed and dried ears with a towel (no q-tip). The earplug didn't seem to go in as usual (perhaps the wrong angle). The day after, about mid-day, I noticed that my ear was hurting. Two days later I was in a full-blown ear infection. I stopped working a few months ago to do some studies, as such, no money to go to the doctor. I prayed and the Lord said to read a book about hydrogen peroxide that was sitting on my shelf and decided that it wouldn't hurt. So, I put one cap of H2O2 into my ear and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I couldn't hear anything happening, at first. Then the bubbling started. Rather cool. I kept doing this every two to three hours. By the end of the night, the pain (so strong that I really couldn't touch the ear without feeling like I was going to throw up) was 90% gone. After two treatments the following day, there is no longer ANY pain whatsoever. Praise the Lord! Now, I must say that I don't know for certain if my immune system had typed the virus/bacteria by this point, as I had been sick for a few days by the time I started... Regardless, the pain appeared to decrease with each treatment--I thought I was imagining it until the 4th treatment--I then KNEW that there was a difference. By the way, I should mention that I also dried my ear out with q-tips, and then used a warm blow dryer for about 10 minutes after each treatment. Perhaps I had come down with swimmer's ear from using the earplugs on wet ears--drying is important. Anyway, thank God for hydrogen peroxide and a cured ear infection. I am now using 3% in a humidifier, breathing it in for multiple 5 minute sessions throughout the day, and have seen a big difference in my energy levels--very cool. I might add that I have to inhale with my eyes closed...else the stuff irritates my eyes. Pretty cool stuff! :o) :o) :o)

I have not had an ear infection or cold for three and a half years now. The H2O2 gets used in each ear twice a week, and I simply tissue and Q-tip my ears dry each time I shower. That's it! Hydrogen peroxide is the most effective and CHEAPEST supplement I've ever tried. Thanks again for this website--three years free! :) :) :)

Bad Breath

Posted by Sharon (NYC) on 12/15/2005

My boyfriend started using pysillium a few weeks ago to cleanse his intestinal tract. He felt great, but my God! his breath became so foul!! After a few days of being polite, I finally figured that I needed to say something and help him find a cure. I figured it had to have been caused by a change in his intestinal flora from the pysllium. The change must have caused severe candida overgrowth. His tongue was coated in white -- a sure sign. I had him take a few capsules of ParaGone (it was what was leftover in my medicine cabinet) to start to kill off the candida. That seemed to help, but didn't completely stop the halitosis. This is going to sound gross, but I made him open his mouth to detect whether the stench was coming from his breath, or from his teeth. I have particularly good smell and pinpointed that the smell was coming from the upper right side of his mouth! Well, after that I had him soak his mouth in straight hydrogen peroxide for about 3 minutes. Once it foamed up, I had him to it again. That was the cure! No more bad breath! The peroxide did make his tongue sensitive for a few days, so I would suggest to anyone trying this that they dilute the peroxide in water. I think that bad breath is often a sign of candida or yeast overgrowth so killing it in the mouth with peroxide AND taking some kind of candida cleanse is the answer. One more note: I read on the internet that it can take up to 3 weeks to cure bad breath. Well, this took a few minutes with the peroxide. Don't believe what you read! Hope this helps some of your readers. Thanks. Sharon.

Hi Kate...when you take it 3 times a day, is it on an empty stomach? I am going to put a few drops into the water bowl for my dog, Zeus. He has lumps throughout his body. I've been treating him with Stem Cell supplements with some success, but want to try the food grade H2O2 in his water (well water). I am going to start taking it as well as my body hurts from arthritis. Any suggestions from you or anyone please?

Food gradeable hydrodgen peroxide is 35%. For input into our bodies the recommended dose is 3%. It is brilliant for cleaning ears, just 3 drops usually does the job if you suffer from any nose complaints ie: rhinitis, or scabbing up of the nose, rub a little 3% around the inside of your nose.... Brilliant, gets rid of it for awhile of coarse it comes back, but that's the nature of the beast, so repeat with the 3 drops... Brilliant if you have a cold coming on as well, ears and nose.... Brilliant as a, mouth wash as well, I also had a hard little lump come up on my face.... Brown in colour the size of a pin head, it dissapeared after 4 days of putting a little 3% hydrogen peroxide drops on it.... Brilliant. Hope this helps and yes if you take it internally, you must take either lactobillius acidofillus of pro biotics, as high as what you can get them.... you can take up to 10 of these at one time as well.

Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2

Posted by Claudea (Washington) on 07/20/2016

Rich, I had a fast growing, beginning to choke lump in my throat that scared me into searching fro non-invasive ways to reverse it. That led me to HP, which I then soaked my mouth with 90 days several times a day, at 3% with the stabilizers. The lump disappeared in that 3 months and never returned.

The oxygen entered my blood through my thin mouth skin and that extra oxygen attacked the lump cells destroying them.

I found Medline sells HP through Amazon - 4 gallons at about $33 and shipping is cheap. I take it as a diluted drink in water.

Hydrogen Peroxide Injection and Enema

Responding to a post about Hydrogen Peroxide for Cancer:

Posted by Tj (Alberta) on 11/04/2015: "Can anyone assist me in how to use DSMO and Hydrogen peroxide together for cancer treatment. I would appreciate any assistance on how to use these two products together. How much of each/ what kind of method/when etc. Thanks so much."

Hydrogen Peroxide Taken Internally,

This is a very dangerous thing to do, but I have taken it by enema as well as an injection into fat.

After researching, I found the internal dilution % or rate. Hydrogen Peroxide is very caustic and can burn your insides out if not diluted to .3% or a .003 dilution rate. It will kill slowly and with a lot of pain. A person is literally playing with death here and should use extreme caution. This is why I use a .3% not .5% dilution. It is always best to err on the side of caution when your life is in the balance.

Remember disease cannot live in an oxygenated alkaline environment, especially cancer.

So, if you're going to try to introduce oxygen into the body through other means than just breathing. Perhaps a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Facility or injection of Ozone by a clinic would be best.

If the decision for using a (HP) hydrogen peroxide solution has been made to be taken internally (absorbed through the skin or passing the blood barrier). The HP must be FOOD GRADE (FG) using 1 part 3% FG Hp to a 10 parts water distilled solution. Get a measuring syringe and for every 10 parts of water use 1 part 3% FG HP.

At this point you're ready for your carrier. Be it an enema contraption, a syringe (please don't inject directly into a vein), or a DMSO application. Each carries the solution into the body. DMSO is not a dilution substance, it is a carrier.

When breaking the blood barrier as in using a syringe into the fat, or DMSO. Extreme cleanliness must be strictly adhered to. This is probably the reason the FDA will not allow it to be used.

Enema would be my personal recommendation for internal administration of FG HP. I know it sounds dirty and gross, but compared to someone else shoving things up your anus the alternative isn't all that bad. Besides, once you get used to doing it the feeling of being clean within the lower intestines is quite liberating.

If I was to be, DMSO and HP is my decision and that's final. I would mix just 2 or 3 drops 3% FG HP with 20 or 30 drops of distilled water mixing with DMSO and applying to an area on the stomach around the navel but staying away from the liver (right rib cage) after using an alcohol bath for the area prior to administration. If I know where my cancer is then I would apply to that area too. Just keep in mind that cleanliness is key, not only the body but everything that comes in contact with the solution.

I'll continue, this is only 3 ml. per liter if using 30% Food Grade HP to distilled water. I used an empty syringe without the needle for an as close to exact as possible dilution. This was for an enema solution. I did 2 enemas first to cleanse out the lower intestines (1 liter plain body temp water). Then I put in about a cup of the HP solution and held it, my body took it in on the 3rd try and I soon got an extreme rush from the oxygen entering my blood through the intestinal wall. This method is 10 times more potent than drinking the same solution.

For the injection into a rouge STAPH Infection, I used 3% HP from a local pharmacy because there was no time to waste getting food grade HP.

I had been kicked out of the hospital for the 2nd time. The first time I wasn't admitted but was fed one dose of IV antibiotics and walked with a week's supply of oral antibiotics after walking in with an inflamed softball size bleeding scab that was a black mark the size of a standard paper hole just 2 days earlier. After the week had passed and I was out of ammo (antibiotics) the infection came back with authority. After 2 days more the infection site under the skin and in the fat looked like a rash around the softball (command center) and measured 10" x 12".

On my second admittance to the same hospital, they kept me for 3 days at which I fought verbally for another dose of the IV antibiotic cocktail and was denied. In fact the doctor said he could give me no more antibiotics without the possibility of severe adverse side effects.... Crohn's Blah blah blah, and a host of other immune disorder diseases.

I could literally feel the infection in the command center just waiting for the withdrawal of the antibiotics so it could reinvade the rest of my body. My wife looked at the softball the next day and said it looked worse than the night before. The site was on my back and I couldn't see it well at all.

I took a 1 cc syringe.

Filled it with .46 cc of bacteriostatic water (blood barrier use water) which I had on hand.

Then finished by putting in .04 cc of 3% HP.

Put in a total of 5 injections into the softball size inflamed purple mass

4 (.07 cc doses) around the site and 1 (.22 cc dose) into the center

From the very beginning until that moment it never stopped hurting or itching. In a matter of maybe 5 minutes all was gone (hurting/itching). The purple mass took months to heal of which I still have a scare.

Remember also that when using FG HP or Ozone therapy you create a lot of free radicals in the body. So it's important to use some of the many free radical scavengers available. This site will help you there also if you need help in this area.

I would also like to say that I am not a doctor to anyone other than myself and would not recommend any of what is written here be used for any purpose other than education.

Chikungunya Virus

Hi,

I have been taking about 1 ml of 20% food grade hydrogen peroxide since 38 days. It has been a miracle for my post chikungunya aches and pains. It also cleared up the mental fog which I didn't even know I had. I feel fantastic since taking H2O2.

I am 39 years old. No children. I have had polycystic ovarian syndrome since I was 25. With diet and exercise, I have been able to keep the symptoms down to a dull roar.

My last period started on Nov 25th. And it is still going on. Heavy with gushing. This kind of period hasn't happened in years. I have taken blackstrap molasses without any change.

Is this because of the H2O2? The One Minute Miracle book says H2O2 is required for sex hormone synthesis. Is that what is happening in my body? Excessive estrogen production?

What should I do? I would love to continue the H2O2, but not if this kind of period is going to be a regular issue.

Any advice welcome. And thanks in advance.

Ear and Sinus Issues

Editor's Choice

Dear Karri,

Hydrogen is so widely used in the ears...I would tend to think the problem with your ears is a complication of your cold and not the peroxide.

Either way, a clove of garlic may do the trick.

You can peel a clove of garlic, being careful not to prick it. Just get off the papery part. Find a clove that is big enough to put at the opening of your ear but that is not small enough to go into your ear. Use a bandana or something to keep it at the opening to your ear for an hour or two. Garlic (and onions) tend to draw out fluid. They also help inflammation and infection.

A warm rice sock would be an alternative to the above. Or your could alternate.

I hope it feels better soon!

Cancer

Posted by Dan (Carvel, Alberta, Canada) on 03/24/2012

This reply is directed to Sandy regarding alternative options for cancer. Sandy! ..... Over the course of a few months I have been researching alternative cancer treatments. One of the treatments that I have read about was developed by Dr. Johanna Budwig. She specialized in oil's. She was a doctor in Germany and unfortunately she passed away at the age of 91. She developed what today is known as the Budwig Protocol. This protocol involves two food sources that are mixed together using an electric hand blender. The two food sources blended together are; Organic Flax Oil and organic cottage cheese (low fat or 1%) cottage cheese or some other similar food store can be used. Blend together 3 table spoons of the flax oil along with 6 table spoons of the cottage cheese. Blend this for about 1 minute so that ALL of the oil is well blended with the cottage cheese. The mixture will appear like creamy whipped cream. If you find that this is too thick to blend you can add a bit of milk to it. This protocol has been TESTED and RESEARCHED by many medical professionals and even though it sounds quite unbelieveable it works. Apparently this mixture creates a new molecule that is delivered to the cancerous cells surrounding them with lots of oxygen. If I was diagnosed with cancer myself I would take this protocol as well as the H202 as they both increase the oxygen level in the blood stream and cancerous cells can not survive in an aerobic (oxygen rich) environment. Read the complete protocol online as there are things that you can add to the mixture that will improve the taste. Make sure that you strive to use organic ingredients. I take this mixture for preventative measures and I add 2 tablespoons of ground up organic brown flax seeds (use a coffee bean grinder) along with a teaspoon of Organic Raw Honey (due to the live enzymes in the honey). You can also add berries of your preference to sort of make a smoothie out of this mixture. My research into alternative cancer treatments has ofter lead me to this protocol. Do not worry about the dairy aspect of the cottage cheese as this gets neutralized by the blending of the flaxseed oil.

H2O2 Side Effects

0 out of 5 stars

Hi Ted
This is Sunny from India. I am a 35 year old woman with two kids aged 7 and 31/2 years. After my second son is born I got severe hyper pigmentation and Melasma and also my immunity came down and I put on 10 kg s of weight. I get frequent colds and cough which are so severe that I used to be on bed for at least two days a week. Then I saw Earth clinic and started Food Grade H2O2 therapy and also Baking Soda. I am using right now from past four months and I want to stop now as my sicknesses came down drastically. But one side effect is that my face and neck has turned to almost black after I started using H2O2 and Baking Soda. In a country where skin color and complexion is given predominant importance I am not even able to step out of the house. I tried many cosmetic treatments like laser, peels which only further aggravated my problem. They told me to avoid working with computer as it sends UV rays and increases pigmentation. They gave me many suggestions to avoid sun through windows also at home, avoid going out in the car too in daylight even with sunscreen. These are so impractical for my lifestyle and anyhow I am avoiding direct sun exposure. My rest of the body is a shade better as usual but it is also darkened a little after using H2O2. Only my face, neck and feet are very hyper pigmentated. So my now only hope is alternative and folk remedies. So Ted please help me why all this happened. Does H2O2 aggravate hyper pigmentation? Now my only help is YOU. So please reply at your earliest convenience. Thank you

Kind Regards
Sunny

35% Food grade Hydrogen Peroxide is absolutely a miracle cure. . . . Over time. So many benefits! ! ! ! -and not the side effects that synthetic drugs come with. Take the opportunity to research ALL FG H2O information and see for yourself the results that arise after using. Big Pharma cannot patent H2O therefore it does not add to their bottom line as do all the synthetic "garbage" they produce, thus the discredit manuevers they have successfully employed to sabotague FG H2O. Don't listen to someone else, find your own information to make your OWN decision. All The Best!

I have had some bad breath and chronic fatigue for quite a few years. I was just trying everything I could think of . The doctors were of no use. I used a cap full of drug store hydrogen peroxide to brush my tongue. I was pleasantly surprised to find my chronic fatigue was greatly reduced in just days. I have only been using it for about three weeks. I recently got some food grade which I reduced to 3%. I am going to start taking it by spray since I have asthma. The asthma seems a bit better just from the little bit I have used to brush my tongue. Oh yeah , the first night It was hard to go to sleep. I didn't know that this is a common effect.

I have had a basil cell carcinoma on my back for about a year.

It got a little bigger and I decided to get rid of it.

I have been using food grade h2o2 Hydrogen Peroxide (25-35%)

It burns but works great. Just use a cue tip dip it into the h2o2 and it burns the top layers of over a few weeks. It's better than the doctor and cost's about $1.00 worth of the food grade peroxide.

I will tolerate a little pain, no pain no gain.

I have been brushing my teeth with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda for years, especially since new information is out about the harmful effects of flouride.

For those who have been warning that hydrogen peroxide should not be taken orally, why is it that so many over-the-counter toothpastes now advertise hydrogen peroxide as a beneficial ingredient?

Keep up the good work EC!

Yes h2o2 therapy is wonderful. Works for everything. We buy a giant 5l h2o2 at least per month/6 weeks. We use it for cleaning, mouthwash, spraying toothbrushes, sanitizing food (mixed with water), and inhaling spray especially when the winter season comes to prevent...whatever!

As some have said on here, do not worry about the 3% vs food grade. Some mention about possible stabilizers in contaminants in 3%...its made in a pharma lab so I wouldn't worry. Cause some people are using borax (made in agri labs vs pharma labs) instead of Boron (made in pharma grade labs). Far more contaminants and possibilities of such in borax than 3% peroxide.

Peroxide is one of those things we all should have gallons of. Nasal sprays, inhalers, food prep, pet blankets spray, etc...too many uses to talk about.

Breathing Issues

Posted by Lynn (Washington Dc, Unites States) on 09/06/2010

Hi Patrick, it is my understanding that you should keep your intake at or around 3% if you're taking H2O2 in several ways and losing count of your intake. I guess if you're awesome at math you could use the highest recommended intake and calculate what your highest (combined) dosage should be according to that... Not sure how you would 'count' the humidifier, but I would just count it as having been ingested to be on the safe side... If you go above 10% I've seen neurological damage cited as a side effect. Also, I wanted to add that I've been doing h2O2 for about 2 weeks now (I'm using 12% FGHP diluted). I didn't realize any obvious WOW factors--until I carried my 2 year old up the HUGE hill where I live from the park today! Usually I'll tell my husband to take him and struggle to get to the half-way point (it's a fairly steep incline and a good 12-15 minute walk)... But even though I HAVEN'T (unfortunately) quit smoking, I had NO issues and was like this is WEIRD, as I think I could carry Omar and maybe even a fat kid right up another similar hill (I carried him for the entire walk)... It was absolutely nuts and amazing... I imagine what my body could achieve WITHOUT smoking...

I use the 3% peroxide in my humidifier, which keeps it clean and perhaps improves the air. Also I have been using it in my ears for years.When my ears are bothering me, I get dizzy, this takes it away. I asked the pharmicist years ago if I could drink a little and he said a quarter cap, there was nothing in it to harm you. A half cap causes a little headache for a minute. I taste it in my coffee (decaf). I put some in my dad's water with some aloe vera juice and he drank it. He sure felt better.He was very ill, and is perking up, so I am going to keep it up.
