The hydrogen peroxide inhalation method from Bill Munro has been one of the most popular natural remedies on Earth Clinic for over 15 years. Articles on this page include detailed instructions on the hydrogen peroxide inhaling method and testimonials from hundreds of our readers who have tried this method for viruses, COPD, lung issues, chronic coughs, asthma, cancer, herpes, and more.
Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation Method Instructions
- Empty out the contents of a saline nasal pump and sterilize the bottle with hot soapy water. Make sure you then rinse out all the soap.
- Fill the empty, sterilized nasal pump with 3% peroxide. Use 3% food grade peroxide if you can get it in your country.
- Point bottle at the back of your throat and, on a sharp inhale, pump the spray 6 times. DO NOT INHALE IT UP THE NOSE!! (People misread Bill’s instructions from time to time and spray it up the nostrils!!)
- Do this 4-6 times a day. If you are trying to get rid of a virus, pump every 2 hours or so.
- It should take about 36 – 48 hours to get rid of a virus. If it’s an insipid virus that’s been in your system for some time, it may take up to 2 weeks. For other conditions like cancer, please read the feedback in our table of contents section on this page and on our cancer remedy pages for more information from our readers.
Note: Before you start this technique, see how little of the peroxide you are actually inhaling by pumping 6 times into a teaspoon. It’s a tiny amount.
Cautions
We do not suggest the use of peroxide higher than 3% solution for this inhaling method. H202 is dangerous at dosages higher than 3% if not properly diluted.
Also, always use food grade peroxide if you can obtain it. When we first published this method in 2004, you could not get 3% food grade peroxide, only 35%. Bill Munro never used food grade. Rather, he used 3% plain peroxide from the pharmacy for many years until his death at age 90 in 2014.
Bill Munro
This is the first email that Bill Munro sent to Earth Clinic in 2004, introducing his inhalation method:
“I have been inhaling 3% peroxide for over 13 years. And had a bout with Melanoma and Prostate cancer at the same time. At no time would I let anything like a salve be on my open Melanoma because that would take away the oxygen needed to heal from the outside. The peroxide I inhale would supply the oxygen on the inside. I increased the times that I inhale the peroxide into my mouth to 7 or 8 times a day. I used a nasal spray pump. With each inhale I would pump the pump about 10 times. This went on for four months. I now pump 5 times with each inhale and 7 inhales every day. My PSA blood tests say I am clean now.”
Bill believed that you need to give the peroxide at his dosage (5 pumps, 6 times a day) 2-4 weeks to see results for viruses that have been in the bloodstream for some time (ie., lingering viruses). Cancer takes about a month, but you would need to continue the therapy for 3-4 months. Apparently any and all viruses cannot survive in an oxygen enriched environment. If you try Bill’s technique for cancer, general health, sore muscles, etc., please make sure to see our side effects section for reviews from readers who experienced side effects.
In 2004, Bill Munro was kind enough to let us copy this amazing testimonial on hydrogen peroxide from his website.
“Hydrogen Peroxide is the most over looked chemical used by man. New uses of it are coming to light every day. Bad bugs be they, in your garden or your body, they cannot live in an oxygen rich environment.
At 69 years old my muscles were so tight that to get out of bed I would lay on my stomach and back out on to the floor, push down on the bed and stand up. I knew there was something to correct this bad situation. One morning while having coffee with a friend, I noticed he had brought a small stack of books with him. Being curious, I asked if I could look at the books. The one that stood out to me was “O2xygen Therapies”. As I was scanning it, it became more interesting to me. I asked him if I could take it home. It was a week before returning the book. Being convinced Hydrogen Peroxide was what I was looking for, it was now going to into my system? The book gave three choices. Put 8 to 10 drops in an 8 oz cup and drink it, four times a day. Next was, put a pint of 35% in the bathtub and soak for 1 hour once a week. Or go to a doctor for intravenous infusion once a week. None of these had any appeal to me.
After a week or two I decided that the easiest, and most efficient way was to inhale the 3% peroxide into my mouth and on into my lungs. I just happened to have a “Nasal Spray Pump” (see sample picture below). I dumped the contents out, put in the 3% peroxide as it comes from the drugstore. Now, how many times do I pump? I settled for one pump per inhale, and 4 times a day. That went on for about a month. As I was laying down for a short rest, I noticed that I was breathing freely. No forced inhale or exhale. That was the first thing that I noticed while inhaling the peroxide. I then changed the time when to inhale the peroxide. Now I inhale 2 times in the morning and at night. While deep inhaling I pump the pump as many times as I can, usually 8 to 10 pumps each inhale. Another thing I noticed was, I sleep all night with my mouth closed. I used to have heart aches that were very uncomfortable, no more.
My wife and I have been inhaling peroxide for 9 years now and no colds, sore muscles, aches or pains. I take no medication or vitamins. I am less than two years to 80 years old. My lungs don’t give out when I work in my garden or other things around the house. My house is 160 years old, so the work never stops. Peroxide keeps our oxygen blood count in the high 90%’s.
One of the first people that used the peroxide as I do was very interesting. He had a low self-esteem. I found out that he was on kidney dialysis. I discussed the peroxide several times with him. Finally one day I went to his house with a nasal spray pump. He opened it and poured out the contents and filled it back up with 3% peroxide. He sprayed it in to his mouth and into his lungs. I said you know how to do it, and I left. Three days later I called him to see if anything had happened. He said that he could breath easier. Four days later he called me, he was so excited all he could say was “It’s working, It’s working”. I asked “What did it do?”. He said he was waking up about an hour and a half before normal and that he was coughing up all the bad stuff that was in his lungs. He went back to bed and when he woke up, he said he had not felt that good in years. From that time on his spirit was always good and his voice was up beat.
A couple of people told me after four or five years of using the peroxide they stopped. I ask why and both said they did not get sick, and they don’t think it was working. You can make that judgment. One friend of ours goes to the doctor for pacemaker check ups and the doctor tells him the peroxide will not help him but it will not do him any harm. He is using his second pacemaker. He has told me several times; if it were not for his inhaling the peroxide he would not be here today.

Asthma is only a lung issue because of a malaligned neck vertebrae. Get a chiropractor to readjust it and the asthma will disappear. Watch Dr. John Bergman’s videos on lung health for more info. I first came upon Mr. Munro’s info & videos many years ago and have the instructions for nebulizing on my other laptop that currently has a dead battery. I will post them soon. I’ve done it for years starting with 0.005% for a while and lessened the dilution until I was using 0.05%. It is way better than toxic albuterol which damages many organs.
I’ve recently discovered that to drink it is best using “The Many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide By Dr. David G. Williams”. It is best absorbed on an empty stomach or by placing a few drops of 3% under the tongue if the stomach is not empty.
Started the inhalation process yesterday. It caused quite a lot of “wheing”, the saliva was reluctant to expel! Today I have lost the OZ content in Blood, now 85, a loss of 10 points, and on OZ support stem! What can be expelled is “solid”, before it was semi solid but runny! Thinking there has been a chemical change in the material making it the consistency of jello! Can’t afford any further difficulty’s at 85% OZ, will discontinue the treatment until further up dates are available!
I'd like to ad my 2 cents on the Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation methode from the late Bill Munro.
My father already had a history from asthma since he was 6 years old. Back in the old days young children would be sent to live by the sea for a few months in order to heal. He smoked, unfortunaltly, 'till the age of 57. Stopped, because he needed heart-surgery due to being diabetic since he was 16 years old. When he became older his lung problems reappeared again. With a bad case of double pneumonia in 2003 that nealry killed him.
I kind of stumbled across Earth clinic a few years later and learned about Bill Munro's Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation. (Among so many other life-saving tips and knowledge.) Since then I was able to stop every bout of bronchitis he had before it could develop into pneumonia. Which would have killed him at his age. By using Hydrogen Peroxide in a nebuliser. Of course Food Grade 3% with the same amount of distilled water.
He died last May, 88 years old. And was regarded a walking medical wonder by doctors because he got that old in spite of his many health scares. Just died in his favorite chair because his heart simply stopped beating. I saved him many times with the healp of Earth Clinic when doctors had given up upon him. Thank you all for your contributions here.
Total H202 Routine:
I have used the H202 inhalation method for years and it has been very effective for colds or other sinus infections. Once I notice a cold coming on at Day 1, I do the Munro throat spray routine at 3%, for about 3x's. Then I move on to a mix of 1.5% H202 in the nasal sprayer (3% is too much for your nasal linings), then I do a routine of H202 in my ears for 4 min each ear then dry them out with kleenex & cotton swabs and finally after all this drains into your mouth I gargle for a minute with H202.
IF I do this on Day 1 I have never had to go to Day 2 of this routine – never in 10 years of use. This is why people go to Ear, Nose & Throat doctors – these are ALL inter-related. You need to fix them all. Hope this helps.
I was a habitual smoker and by following the Bill Monro method as explained in his video my lungs and sinuses are now clean and I don't want to smoke anymore. When I do smoke occasionally I inhale hp just before or after I smoke and It seems to cancel the bad effect of the smoke! I also instinctively want to eat more nutritionally. I would say I feel much better all around as a result of following Bill's method.
H2O2 Inhalation for Back Injury
I began the H2O2 inhalation therapy about a week ago. I reduced food grade peroxide to 1.5%. I found that my throat burned (severe enough that it felt like strep), like others have complained about. As a remedy for that, I sprinkled a small pinch of baking soda in my hand with some water and sniffed it. I also mixed 1/2 tsp. baking soda with 1/2 cup of water, gargled and swallowed. I got relief within minutes.
I detoxed terribly with Lugol's, recently. I thought my system was clean. Now, I am detoxing again, although, not as severe. I have had 5 days of congestion headaches, pimples in random places, sinus stuffiness, sores in my mouth, and my eyes are discharging. I received increased energy and insomnia the first few days, as many have reported.
I am using the H2O2 inhalation for back pain and peripheral neuropathy. I have noticed some decrease in pain. I pray with continued use, I will heal completely.
I would love some feedback from others that have used H2O2 for pain.
My sister sent me your link. I started inhaling the peroxide 2 times a day in hopes to ward off my cedar allergies. I do believe it has already helped in just four days. I could not find your side effects list. Thank you for all your awesome knowledge.
Side effect reported
Hello. I started the inhalation 3% a few days ago and was feeling like my lungs were opening up but then last night I had a headache and woke up with a fever and have chunky coughing and feel very fluish. I am thinking that I had a lot of toxins in my lungs and there are all coming out. Healing crisis. How should I proceed? I did one spray today but feel like crapola.
J9, I would continue but no more than once a day until you feel better.
Side effect reported
I need help, I have been using the Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation method, and after 2 1/2 days the back of my mouth has dried up and it hurts to swallow, it is almost like a sore throat, is this regular, I have stopped using it until I can get the sprayer that was recommended……any recommendations or answers, is this what generally happens when you first start it? When can I expect an answer?
Side effect reported
Have you ever experienced people complaining about burning in the throat from hydrogen peroxide inhalation? I am desperate for a cure and started the therapy yesterday with 3% peroxide, but am experiencing a burning in my throat. Any suggestions? I have Hashimoto and lung nodules, one of which is quite large and giving me troubles. Makes me cough all the time. Has turned into COPD. Please let me know what I can do.
I suggest you get food grade hydrogen peroxide at Amazon's or elsewhere. Dilute it at a 10 or 11 to 1 ratio and use that. You can also dilute the 3% you are using until you get used to it. There is also a protocol for drinking HP in a gradual fashion, good luck.
Not reporting a cure yet. Hope that comes at some point. Just found a method for inhalation of peroxide that works well for me. I had an old Nebulizer and tubing from a prior run at the doctor for acute bronchitis and exasperated copd. I did not have a pump anymore, as it was a rented one.
I diluted the peroxide by mixing it with distilled water, 2/3 water to 1/3 peroxide 3%. I measured that mixture into the medicine cup, and, don't laugh, attached the tubing to a bicycle tire pump. I am currently taking 3 to 6 pumps, aiming for at least 3 times a day. After the first treatment, I got a little dizzy, but that quickly passed, and while I don't exactly feel energizer bunny just yet, I feel more alert. Hope to have an update soon.
Thanks for the wonderful information on your site. Sharon
How are you doing with it?
I got very sick. 28 doctor could not help me. Just took my money. To make a long story short it left me with vertigo and many other health issues remain. Even got my appendix out and could not fight off any sickness too well or drive. I've been on hydrogen peroxide inhale and taking it drinking it most days and I am progressing tremendously. I've driven a lot more. I feeling much better. I feel on this track I should be healed within the next 6 months to a year. Please, without this I believe I wouldn't have survived many more years.
Hi John.
Glad to hear that all is going well for you with the Hydrogen peroxide. I see where you mentioned you take it most days. Just a suggestion – try and take the H2O2 every day, you will get better results faster. All the best to you.
Having suffered with reflux, and stomach ulcers, I was afraid the hydrogen peroxide would irritate my throat, and cause the ulcers to come back, so very nervously for the first time I tried drinking 9 drops of the 3% in distilled water, I got a lot of white foam in my mouth, and felt sick, and had a burning sensation down my throat, but only had taken two mouthfuls I think perhaps I used too little distilled water, I put the rest in the bath, Yesterday I only took 1 drop, and increased it gradually to three, and felt comfortable with that. I was just fine. Now today I put 9 drops in distilled water and boiled it to inhale for about ten minutes, it was very relaxing and I felt happy that it wasn't going down into my stomach but straight into my lungs. I will do this again this evening, and see how I'm feeling. I have had a recent diagnosis of a lump on my appendix, and I also have osteoarthritis, while experiencing bouts of inflammation to my joints, I'm hoping for some improvement with this treatment.
Hi there… I have had great success with Mastic Gum for taking care of GERD… it is related to h.pylori.
@ Linda, British Columbia: does the mix of H2O2 and filtered water take away the varicose and spider veins? I would love to know 🙂
Aloha from Hawaii,
I have been using Hydrogen Peroxide 3% as an inhalation treatment when fighting cold/flu symptoms of the nasal passages or lungs for decades.
I use it every time I get any form of runny/stuffy nose or any itching lungs/coughing. It really is amazing how fast it works. I clear my nasal passages out with 2-3 quick sprays up each nostril (and it hurts!! ) this is not for wimps as it does get really sharply painful for a few seconds and sometimes feels like my head is going to blow off!! My sweet, lovely, little wife does it too, so unless you are truly a wimp…you'll be fine. LOL
However, using this method along with sudafed to open passages if blocked (so the h2o2 can get up there) I have not had a sinus infection or bronchitis for over 20 years. I used to get bronchitis and sinusitis every year when I caught cold. I started doing H2O2 mist instinctively because it just made sense to me that it would destroy the viruses and bacteria that were causing the issue in the first place. I had read a book called: Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical Miracle and felt that if it could perform so well in all those medical studies without harming any of the patients…it would be good for my nose and lungs.
So, nasal mister with 3% hydrogen peroxide in it and use it any time there is a symptom of any kind. If I end up with a bad cold as recently happened because I didn't get up at night and do this, I just do it every few hours daily until the issue (nasal or lung) is gone. I also use ozonated water machine to make quarts of ozone water to drink 3-4 times daily and eat very little food when fighting illness of any kind.
As a retired RN I can tell you right now that if everyone used this method to fight disease we would all be far healthier and better off.
Blessings and Aloha.
Hello, I read your post and was impressed. I suffer from chronic sinusitis problems and can't breathe through my nose at all I can't clear it at all — even with my prescribed prescribed medication sprays.
I would like to know do you use 3% peroxide with how much (warm) water?
Thanking you, Carol. x
Here is my remedy for chronic sinus problems – I like to spread the word. 1) 1 teaspoon of black seed oil (nigella sativa) at night. 2) In the morning, oil pull with organic, cold pressed, unrefined coconut oil. Work up to 20 minutes. I do it in the shower. I have done this for the last couple years….my sinus issues are adios!
Good luck!
Can any appreciable amount of oxygen get into bloodstream from inhaling H2O2 mist several times a day?
