Moving on: I am 100% that the cases reported from people dying or going to the ER from ingesting hydrogen peroxide was because of mis-interpreting the advice they read, and mis-interpreting directions. FIRST OF ALL, it must be 35% food-grade and NOT over the counter due to the stabilizers, heavy metals, and other nasty industrial additives. That stuff is made in in industrial factories. It doesn't undergo the intense purification process that Food grade does in a lab. SECOND of all, when people look at recipes, they can get 3% to 35% confused. Some recipes call for 1-2 tablespoons (or ounces) of the PRE-deluted 3% that you've made from your 35% food grade - NOT the 35% itself. While other recipes DO call for straight 35%, such as larger recipes for your hot tub, your bath tub, or laundry. This can confuse people if they don't pay attention to detail. PAY attention to detail, and ONLY look at recipes you find through official websites like Garden of Eden. There are all kinds of recipes floating around the internet, and sometimes people can mis-write the recipe they are sharing, confusing the reader as to if they should be using 1-2 ounces of the pre-diluted 3%, or the straight 35%... Now, that said, when it comes to ingesting it... IT is ONLY 1-3 drops for a glass of water with a glass dropper. That's IT people! You have to gradually increase slowly, you can't just start taking tons of Oxygen not expect to have consequences.
Moving on, I tried this PROPERLY unlike those who landed themselves in the ER. I used 1-2 drops to start in a glass of water.. Within 24 hours, I cannot tell you how many improvements I had in my cognitive function, my clarity of mind, my energy, and my over all health. Instead of doing it twice a day, I have chosen to just do it once a day. No need to over do a good thing. 1-2 drops of 35% in a glass of water is more powerful than you would think. I feel like I could run 100 mile marathon, and my mental clarity is through the roof. I am 100% convinced of the effectiveness of this. The only health challenge I'm facing is a heart weakness that I inherited from my mom. I'm 33, and sometimes it aches. I have more breathing capacity now than ever before, and I've only been doing this for two days! I will continue to play it safe and only use 1-2 drops. Next week, I may increase that dosage to 3-4. Due to my tiny body weight (110 pounds and 5'6 in height), I don't see the need to gradually increase beyond that. The effects I'm feeling are incredible enough. I have read people gradually move up to 15-20 drops.. Its difficult to imagine doing that when I already feel like super woman on 1-2 drops!
All I can say is DO NOT jump into using 35% food grade until you FULLY understand the educational material available to you. And DO NOT make mistakes when diluting! If directions are properly followed, you will be okay. Its human error that caused these medical emergencies.

To quote from the article: "The idea behind ingesting hydrogen peroxide stems from a now-discredited theory that cancer and AIDS thrive on a lack of oxygen in the body."
Ummmm, discredited by what studies? Show us!
According to the FDA, when taken orally H202 might cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulcers. Hey, so does ibuprofen, which also causes acid reflux in people. We seriously doubt there are many people foolish enough to swallow large quantities of peroxide and suffer these purported side effects. (The standard dosage for food grade peroxide is 3-4 drops per 8 oz of distilled water.) If there are indeed people suffering side effects from these minute dosages, we'd like to see the reports.
4/1/2007: Below is one case sent to us today by Anonymous from New York City, NY. Here is the link to this abstract.
1: J Emerg Med. 2006 May;30(4):403-6. Hemorrhagic gastritis and gas emboli after ingesting 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Moon JM, Chun BJ, Min YI.
Department of Emergency Medicine, Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital and Chonnam Medical School, Gwangju, South Korea.
It is well known that ingestion of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide is usually nontoxic; this does not produce gas embolism and is only a mild irritant to the gastrointestinal tract. We report the case of a 25-year-old woman who ingested one mouthful of 3% hydrogen peroxide and presented to the Emergency Department with persistent vomiting and epigastric pain. The radiographic evaluation found portal venous gas emboli. In addition, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed 2 h after ingestion revealed diffuse hemorrhagic gastritis. She showed a decrease of hemoglobin concentration and a positive test result for occult blood in stool. She was observed for 14 days and discharged. Follow-up endoscopy showed erythematous gastritis. This case illustrates that a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide can cause portal venous gas embolism and severe gastrointestinal injuries even if only a small amount is ingested."

4/2/2007: Ted from Bangkok writes, "No one uses 1% concentration for internal purposes either. So 3% is way beyond that.
In the alternative health field, the maximum is actually 0.5% concentration. Actually and optimum H2O2 concentration was first determined in 1950s by Dr. Reginald Holman by implanting Walker 256 adenocarcinoma tumours. The drinking water for the rat used H2O2 optimum concentration needed to kill the tumors were about 0.45 percent.
Tumours completely disappeared in 15 to 60 days in rats. Of course a better way is to add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in the glass of 0.45% concentration of H2O2. This can be extended to treatment of almost any kinds of conditions, from virus, bacteria, microbial infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, flu, etc. My own experience of using just baking soda (also increases the body's oxygen) and ascorbate vitamin C about three weeks for a small tumor to go into remission.
A more effective I think in the future of peroxide therapy is to add baking soda to the 0.45% concentration to normal drinking water since baking soda is alkaline and increases oxygen, while the peroxide furthers this natural increase. Ted
