From the book - The Therapeutical Applications of Peroxide of Hydrogen, Hydrozone and Glycozone, by Charles Marchand 9th Ed 1895
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING
PEROXIDE OF HYDROGEN (MEDICINAL), H2O2, IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES CAUSED BY GERMS.
NOSE. —THROAT AND CHEST DISEASES. -TREATMENT.
CATARRH OF THE NOSE AND CATARRH OF THE THROAT.
Causes: Micro- organisms, principally of the micrococcus species have been detected by microscopical examinations, by scientific men and by myself, in the mucous discharges from the nostrils of persons afflicted with this disease. Those germs which are the cause of the infection are readily destroyed by Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), and there is no danger for the patient to use these remedies in any quantity, as both are positively harmless.
Treatment: By means of an atomizer, made of glass and hard rubber, spray the nose and the throat copiously and repeatedly twice or three times every day with a mixture of:
1 tablespoonful Peroxide of Hydrogen, (medicinal), with 4 to 10 tablespoonfuls of distilled water (cold or lukewarm).
According to the degree of inflammation in the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities ; and, in case of extreme sensitiveness, use even still a larger proportion of water.
NOTE—In the absence of an atomizer, apply the remedy to the nose by sniffing the liquid from the hand through the nostrils repeatedly, and gargle the throat. It is always beneficial to swallow the remedy. Do not blow the nose too hard, as it might cause a temporary bleeding. In chronic cases of long standing, especially at the beginning of the treatment, when the tenderness of the mucous membrane is excessive, it often happens that the patient will feel, during one hour or so after each application of the remedy, a partial obstruction of either one or the other of the nostrils.
This very unpleasant feeling is often accompanied by frequent sneezing, which is due to the tickling sensation produced in the nasal cavities by the presence of a great quantity of minute bubbles of "O2, " being set free from the decomposition of Peroxide of Hydrogen coming in contact with the infected surface. The unhealthy secretions are destroyed by "O2" and the cleansing of the nostrils is made perfect.
In chronic cases, when the middle ear is affected, deafness is often the consequence of this disease. Then ozonized vapor inhalations should follow immediately the spraying of the nose and the throat, and should be administered by means of Hand Atomizer and Ozonizer, with a mixture thoroughly made of:
half Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal) and half chemically pure glycerine.
Renew the mixture every three days. It is important that the above mixtures should be made perfect by shaking the bottle well, otherwise the spray-tube of the apparatus might be clogged on account of the syrupy nature of the glycerine
A permanent cure may be effected in a very short time.
When chronic Catarrh of the Nose is very tenacious and painful, it is necessary at night, before retiring, to apply a few drops to the nostrils. Sniff it hard, as it will accelerate the cure.
In many cases the incurability of Chronic Catarrh of the Nose is due to partial or complete obstruction of the nasal cavities, caused by some abnormal conditions of growth, differing in their nature.
When such is the case, apply Peroxide of Hydrogen, as heretofore explained, morning and evening. After ten or fifteen days, if the excrescence does not disappear, it will be necessary to have a surgical operation performed for its removal.
After the excrescence has been removed or destroyed by means of the thermo-cautery, or any other operation (no caustic should be used, as it will most likely destroy both taste and smell), an absolute cure is certain if the above treatment is earnestly followed.
The profession well know that the therapeutical agents used for the treatment of this disease have been as follows: Bichloride of Mercury. -Calomel. —Sulphate of Zinc. -Sulphate of Copper.-Alum. -Nitrate of Silver. -Carbolic Acid. -Salicylic Acid. -Permanganate of Potash . -Borax. -Boracic Acid. —Subnitrate of Bismuth. -Common Salt. Muriate of Ammonia. -Extract of Eucalyptus. -Thymol. -Cocaine. -Camphor, etc.
It is easy to understand why Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), will surely accomplish a permanent cure.

You do realize that the article you are quoting is from 1895, and that medical science has advanced a great deal since then. Most modern sources recommend NOT using hydrogen peroxide in the nasal passages, and you DO NOT EVER swallow it. If you searched for some articles (say post 1960) you just might find that the article you quoted has been disproven quite effectively.

I'm sure 'Modern Science' found it doesn't work. Anything that is cheap and easy to use is dangerous! More and more of modern studies are being found to be fraudulent.

I spoke to my doctor about hydrogen peroxide. He is actually quite open to these things because he uses a neti pot himself. He said a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in a neti pot might be okay to use. He said peroxide will generally burn/sting the nasal tissues so proceed slowly! He said 110% do NOT swallow it since, according to him, "it's basically bleach." I took his advice to mean to be careful even not to swallow any that might trickle down the back of your throat after using a neti pot.

The first recorded use of peroxide in this country (USA) was by a Georgia doctor. In 1888, Dr. P. Lcortelyou of Marietta, Georgia, reported on the use of peroxide in treatment of diseases of the nose and throat. In one case of diphtheria (A serious infection of the nose and throat caused by strains of bacteria called Corynebacterium), often fatal in those days, he used a nasal spray of peroxide, and the patient was well in one day.

My nose feels better, but im still a bit stuffy, especially at night with a white cloudy frothy mucus with the odd (5) small red spots of blood. Not sure if this is the virus that has been sticking around or is it from the peroxide?? I'm also wondering what adjustments I need to make to get rid of it

Hi Lee – Try switching to ACV nasal douching for a week to see if this improves your sinus. You can read more here. https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/sinus_congestion.html#acv

I think you're using too much peroxide in the mix.

So get yourself a new bottle. When you open it, write the date on the label so you know when it becomes unusable.
A sealed bottle is good for about 3 years if you keep it in a cool environment. But once you unseal it, you only have 5-6 months before it degrades and becomes ineffective. Also, don't dip anything like a q-tip or finger in the bottle. That makes it degrade faster.
If it doesn't fizz, it's likely degraded. I learned this the hard way with a sinus infection that wouldn't go away. My bottle had been open about a year. As soon as I got a new one, things changed and it started working.
Check Google for more information about the lifespan of hydrogen peroxide. Hope you are able to resolve your health issue whatever it is.

Take 35% food-grade H2o2 and dilute it to 3% (one oz of food-grade 35% H2o2 + 11 oz of distilled water = 3% of Food Grade H2o2). Then put the 3% in a spray bottle. Spray into your nose and mouth every 2 hours and when spraying into the mouth breathe in deeply.
My sinus infection and all related symptoms were gone in 48 hours.

I agree.............I have silent gerd which causes me sinus and lung infections..........sometimes aspirated pneumonia. I always have to get back on prednisone to clear my lungs until Dec of 2021 when I started nebulizing 3% diluted to 1% food grade HP in my nebulizer. It has helped me tremendously and very thankful I finally got up enough nerve to use it. I use it about 5 times a day......take about 5 or 6 deep breaths each time. Works wonders especially on my lung congestion. Still have traces of sinus infection but working on it.

It burns like hell because you didn't add salt to the solution, not because of the hydrogen peroxide content. Even if you had just added pure water it would've burnt like hell without the salt.

If you use only water and hydrogen peroxide, it will burn. Remember to make a hypertonic solution by adding salt to the water, hydrogen peroxide solution. That will not burn your mucous membranes.

Ktgod, no foam needed. And no putting in nose needed - the nose is too delicate for that. Just keep squirting in your mouth and breathing it deep in. It'll eventually show results, G-d willing.

I'm concerned about the pressure. It won't fizz inside your brain will it?
I have had a concussion, and sometimes get acephalgic migraines on the left side, and I have a chronic sinus infection.
So, is it just from the sinus infection?
Thanks!

We have a friend who went into the doctors recently and passed away. She went in for an infection in the jaw, was diagnosed with COVID, and put on COVID protocols. She probably passed away due to COVID protocols.
This home remedy works. I use a 3 step process with 8oz distilled water, 1/2 tsp 3% Hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 tbs salt good for saline.
1) Drops in ears, lay down and keep dropping till you can fill your ear best as possible around 10min,
2) lay down and lay head back and with dropper fill sinus area under eyes with 2.5 mL and hold for 10s or as long as possible,
3) Neti pot but stop after initial stream out other nostril holding head to side gently roll head and also try a slow spin to get solution around perimeter of cavity then blow out. Stay strong and god bless.

You're on the right track! Continue flushing! until the blood film is gone and ultimately it clears out in few days..

Make sure you're using filtered water.

I would suggest you reconsider and use distilled water. Filters work great for impurities. but you would have to add a biological filter also. Boiling the water kills all the bacteria. A gallon of distilled water is about a buck and a quarter so it's well worth it. For a sinus rinse I put one gallon of distilled water in a clean stainless pot and bring to a boil, Reduce heat to medium and continue slow boil for three minutes. Then add 40 milligrams of kosher salt, stir well. Transfer contents back to the distilled water bottle. I use this solution in my neti pot, which reads 240 milliliters. Add the peroxide to the solution in the neti pot just before using. I have read a 1% peroxide solution is safe, but personally I stay well south of that. For those that would prefer not using the neti pot salt/soda packets; just add 40 milliliters of baking soda along with the salt to the distilled water and you would have an equivalent solution.
