Hi, my name's Bob, and I live in southern California. I've had a "keratosis" problem for many years, and they seem to be multiplying. My strong desire to rid myself of these extremely gross-looking "critters" prompted me to do some extensive online research to find "natural" ways of removing them, instead of having them surgically scraped off, or freezing them with liquid nitrogen ( I've had that done several times), etc. After reading many articles that suggest leaving them alone - because they usually aren't cancerous, I decided to try using 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) to rid myself of the beasts. Treatment with H2O2 is highly controversial, and it may not be for you, and to add insult to injury, most health insurance companies won't pay for their removal - if your only reason for wanting them removed is for cosmetic reasons. Since many other people are looking for a cure, I decided to share my experiences to create a web page that includes life-size photos of me, taken after each day of treatment, and the results I have experienced so far. If this site's moderators will allow the inclusion of my website address, you can view my results at: bob2000.net/keratosis/keratosis.html

Yannick, I'm sorry to hear about the health problems you are going through. Are you sure the H2O2 caused your problems? I know that a document I have says that if you have disease or candida issues, you will feel sick to your stomach at first because the bad bacteria in your body is being taken care of but the illness feeling should pass. This is the God's honest truth. My mother had surgery and had to be on oxygen right after. She was on oxygen for 4 years and was tested by doctors. They couldn't figure out why her oxygen levels were so low (even more so when walking with her walker) or how to fix it. I took a water bottle with 8 ounces of distilled water and put 1 drop of h2o2 in it. Then next 8 oz bottle got 2 until I got to the 10th bottle that had 10 drops. A year ago (at Christmas) she came home for a visit from the nursing home and she was on oxygen. They tested her when she got back to the nursing home and said she didn't need oxygen. We had them check her levels when walking and it was fine. She's been fine ever since. I had asked many times while taking it, if her stomach felt fine and she said yes. I had tried it before I gave it to her and had no problems.

I just made a donation to TED in thanks for the first night in months when I can actually BREATHE freely. I have devoured the information on your site for two days and finally took the PLUNGE and put hydrogen peroxide and distilled sterile water into my nebulizer instead of ALBUTEROL! Some will call me misguided, perhaps, but I am sitting here with tears in my eyes--since I am NOT struggling to breathe. I simply cannot believe this, but my lungs are the proof. My husband even said I had pink cheeks for the first time in months. I am THRILLED I found this site and TED. There are no words...

How do you puthydrogen peroxide in the nebulizer? and what kind and how often do you take it?

Replied by Mama to Many

Dear Nedra,

When I use hydrogen peroxide in the nubulizer, this is what I do:

5 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide (from the grocery store. I look for one that only has "Purified water" as the inactive ingredient.)

30 drops of distilled water

Put the above in the medicine cup of the nebulizer.

This I do a few times a day for coughing. But I would do it every couple of hours during an acute sickness. It is especially helpful if done right before bed and upon waking.

Sometimes when we do this, we don't even nebulize the whole amount. It can cause some coughing. If you find this too strong, dilute with even more distilled water. Maybe 2 drops 3% peroxide with 30 drops of water.

I am on a cpap and use a dropper full ( 10 to 15 drops) of 35 % food grade h2o2, in a quart of distilled water constantly. This keeps my cpap and hose cleaner. I believe it helps when I have a cold or sinus to get rid of it. Sometimes I also add a few drops of colloidal silver to the mix. In 7 years I have never had a problem with this.

I have been reading all the comments about the peroxide treatments for the lungs. I would really like to learn more about it. Could I get a website with more information? My husband has COPD, and his medication is so expensive, we just can't afford it even with his insurance. Thank you

To help clear the lungs of mucus and infections. 50/50 3% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO WATER , MIX IN ONE OF THOSE NEW TYPE ULTRA SONIC COOL MIST HUMIDIFIERS . I KEEP IT SET UP ALL THE TIME ON THE KITCHEN TABLE . I TAKE A FEW PULLS IN THE MORNING TO CLEAR THE LUNGS FOR THE DAY. ALSO PULL THE MIST THROUGH THE NASAL PASSAGES, BUT IT CANT BE TO STRONG OF H2O2 ,OTHERWISE IT COULD BURN A LITTLE. ALSO THE PHARMASUITICAL GRADE MAY BE BETTER FOR YOU ; BUT I JUST USE THE DRUG STORE KIND. I BREATH BETTER THAN I HAVE IN 20 YEARS, NO MORE NASAL INFECTIONS. IF YOU USE THE HIGH GRADE STUFF BE SURE TO DILUTE IT DOWN TO 3% AND THEN 50/50 WITH WATER, OTHERWISE YOU COULD HURT YOURSELF.

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

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.


Lupus

Posted by Aj (Vancouver, Bc) on 10/09/2009

Hello,

I had a question in regards to the Hydrogen Peroxide treatment. I have tried it with great benefit, I stand behind it. My wife was diagnosed with Lupus, she has seen what it has done for me, but is worried about using it, because she is on medication and would like to know if it can react negatively with the prescription drugs.

I would love to be in contact with Bill Munroe.
Thank you

I started with melanoma in 2005 on my face. Had extensive surgery but they could not get it all. In March 2007 it had spread to my chest behind my heart. Had another extensive surgery to remove it. In August 2007 found out it had spread to my face/neck/and chest. Doctor told me that they couldn't operate. Did some internet research and read about hydrogen peroxide and how it puts oxygen back into your cells. Rejuvenating them. Well, decided to try it. I either take a 1/2 bottle and soak my feet in it with warm water or take a whole bottle and take a bath in it. Well, last petscan in November there were no new growths and the ones from August were less intense. My LDH also has dropped to an all time low of 113!! Is it the peroxide, can't say for sure but I won't stop it. Will try to keep you posted on my progress. What an easy cure this would be. Better than dying from metastisized malignant melanoma. Good Luck!! I am not a doctor just a normal person trying to help myself. I also started wearing magnetic jewelry. Who knows!!!

I tried the Hydrogen Peroxide for Melasma: I've done 5 treatments, 20 minutes on the affected areas and it has substancially faded. I have it quite bad on forehead, cheek area, upper lip. I have also done the glycolic peels, Tri-Luma cream, etc. with no results. I am amazed this is working, and trying to determine if I can continue this to control the melasma.


Metal Reaction

Does anyone know if it is ok or not, ??I am going to try the H202 working with 35% graded cut to 3%, is it ok to put it in the dog water that is in a metal bowl, will H202 cause any reaction with the metal, and affect the dog.

Hey, I don't know if the HP will oxidate the bowl or not, but I know when people use sodium chlorite, we cannot use metal because it oxidates the metal & will cause a harmful effect. Might be better off to use a glass or plastic bowl...


Milk Lasts Longer

I add about 1/4 teaspoon of 3% H2O2 to a carton of milk when I first open it. Since we slowly go through milk, it helps stop the milk from souring. If I still have the same carton in the fridge in two weeks, I will add a bit more. I have had milk last a month in the fridge without going sour!

What kind of milk are you using? Pasteurized, ULTRA-Pasteurized, Raw? I have found that the Ultra version (which has had all the vital nutrients removed by that very process, lasts WAY longer than the sticker date).

This remedy works great! I had been fighting mold and mildew in the shower for years. I had mold developing on my shower ceiling and I would normally use bleach in a spray bottle and had to wait for it to dry. I mixed 50/50 of peroxide and water, sprayed the ceiling, waited 10 minuted and it wiped right off with a sponge. I'm telling you this really works. I have never seen the shower so clean!

Does anyone know often it is safe to use (drugstore) hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash? How much should it be diluted with water? I've been using it about 75% H2O2 with 25% water, about 5 times a week, but afraid to use it more often in case it erodes the enamel. Thanks for any help.

Hi Sue, you use 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 1 part water. I don't know how often you should use it but I have used it every day for a few days at a time when I have had a sore throat without any side effects. Cheers Lily.

Hi Ted I'm using HP 5% to 7% as a mouthwash in my tonsils-have started paining. Is it due to the use of HP? Pls reply- is it ok to use HP of 5% to 7%? I'm in very serious condition.

I can only get an off the shelf 6% HP here in Ireland. I simply use sterilized water half and HP half. I would think that using neat 5 - 7% would cause oral problems. As a mouth rinse it is probably not necessary to use the sterilized water.

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.
