H2O2 Side Effects
Posted by Terry (New Zealand) on 03/15/2015

I cannot get past 5 drops per day twice a day any more and I feel violently ill. How long can I keep taking h2o2 this way and will 5 drops twice a day kill the mold in my lungs?

I purchased FGHP and immediately began using it with the incorrect dosage. Like an idiot, I mistook a drop to mean one whole dropper. You can see where this is going. I did three whole droppers the first day and the physiological effects were perceptible that evening. My throat felt scratchy beneath the Adam's apple and I suffered from nausea. I repeated the incorrect dosage for a few more days until it was pointed out to me that a whole dropper is not a drop. A Eureka moment ensued. I ramped down to 3 drops, not droppers, and although the candida in my stomach was decimated (which was partly my initial intent taking FGHP) I experienced a general discomfort and have since ceased taking the product, figuring I would give the body some time to recover.

Now, almost a month later, my body quivers and anxiety has stricken my mind. There are times when my brain lapses momentarily. I suspect this is a result of the overdose and could use some clarification or confirmation and certainly some guidance. It was my mistake and no one's fault but my own (I was never good with details). Granted, there were extenuating circumstances which I can attribute to my recent anxiety (Hurricane Sandy's aftermath), however, I have not read anywhere what the consequences of taking too much FGHP are. I appreciate your help.

I started taking h2o2 4 mos ago. Started with 3 drops in 8 oz distilled water, and built up to 25 drops 2 x daily. I continue to take the 25 drops 2xdaily. I am 74 years old, 5' 10", 155 lbs, non smoker, work out every day, eat healthy, and on no prescription medication. I have fought cancer since '01 with diet, exercise, and rife machines, also had tuberculosis in '62 with moderate advanced case, hospitalized 4 months, was completely cured and no relapses.

Since taking HP for approx 4 months total, I have had painful boils, and cold and flu like symptoms, but the symptoms have escalated in the last 9 days. I have developed a deep cough, sore throat, very low energy almost like I have a virus or flu bug and can do very little work which I'm normally pretty high energy.

I do not throw up or have any intestinal discomfort. I have no fever, no sinus irritation. But a terrible nagging cough for 9 days. I purchased a Vicks Warm Mist humidifier yesterday to see if it will make me feel better, and stop the coughing, return my energy level.

Do I have a toxic build up? What would you suggest to get my energy back??

We had been using food grade hydrogen peroxide in a humidifier for many months.

My nearsightedness has suddenly gotten worse for near distance, for example, signs in supermarkets. My boyfriends' eyes have gotten a lot worse in conditions of glare and haze, he had photosensitivity before but it has become a big problem.

We stopped using the hydrogen peroxide in the humidifier because that is the only new variable.

Does anyone know if hydrogen peroxide caused these problems? At no time did our eyes feel irritated or did I feel he was putting in too much. If damage was caused, what would reverse it?

I just started taking H2O2 (35% FGHP). I am at 5 drops twice a day. I noticed red eyes yesterday, I am not sure if it is because of H2O2 or something else. In a few days, I am planning to go for 6-10 drops 3 times. I will update results.

Has anyone ever had red eyes from taking the dosage three time a day. I started getting red eyes when I hit six drops a day.

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

I have tried Hydrogen peroxide as it supposedly has many cures, so I was using it to clean my teeth. I gargled with it one morning and 4 hours later almost ended up in the emergency. I had so bad pains that I never experienced in my life, I thought it was having something worse than a heart attack. It was like heartburn, tightness, everything mixed together. Well after 2 hours it subsided and I then went to my doctors for a complete physical, which still taking tests. He realized then I must of swallowed some of the stuff and luckily it did not do more damage. It could've burned right through my insides. He thought I was crazy to do this. Never again will I use the stuff. Please do not use it for teeth or internally at all. I warn you all. Thanks Laurie

After the 7th day of 35% h2o2 therapy I had to stop. I noticed shortly after beginning the therapy my stool were almost black. I was afraid it was causing some sort of bleeding. My stools prior to this therapy were normal. Hopefully I didn't damage myself with this experiment. I was up to 10 drop 3x per day in 7-8oz. distilled water. Never had bowel movements that dark before that I can recall.

I was doing a 6% h202 therapy on myself by drinking the food grade type but i started getting ear and throat pains after drinking it for a few days and i even have a lump on my left side neck where my throat is.

Do you think i should keep on drinking it and put some eucalyptus oil in my ear and gargle with water and the oil while im going thru the therapy if i must keep on taking the H202?

I have a question for anyone who might know.

I am on the H202 oral treatment and following according to Ted's recommendations and now have the detox symptom of a bad head cold. I know that this is detox because I don't get colds!! I haven't for many many years. But now my children have this same head cold; and are NOT on the treatment, so I'm wondering if a detox symptom like a cold can be contagious. I understand that h202 can kill parasites in the body and I've learned from Hulda Clark that inside a parasite lives many viruses including cold viruses, and that when a parasite dies it releases them into the person-host. So this detox of a head-cold might be contagious then right?

Has anyone read anything like this or had a similar thing happen? I then gave the kids all 5 drops of h202 hoping it would stop this cold - but it hasn't done anything. Any ideas?

Pam

I have been ingesting the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, diluted to a 3% solution...I am currently taking 1oz in 5ozs of water, 3xs daily, for a week and then I increase...however during the course of this protocol I have noticed that it is exacerbating my immune system conditions...also, when checking my urine ph levels, I was already acidic, but it seems to have made it worse for me. I am at a 5.5 when taking it...can anyone suggest why this is the case and what I can do to make myself more alkaline? Would a combination of baking soda, or apple cider vinegar do the trick?

And here are my thoughts on the 3% store bought hydrogen peroxide:

First of all I have seen all of the postings, via the internet, about using the 3% store bought hydrogen peroxide as mouth wash, etc. so I tried it...on the back of the bottle it says to mix it with an equal amount of water...well, first off I tried it mixed with an equal amount of water and I also tried a miniscule amount of it straight...as mouthwash...I gurgled it around in my mouth, morning and night, after brushing...it made my gums extra sensitive and made them crack open and bleed, all over...the one thing that it did do was kill the toothache that I had...so, perhaps I did not dilute it enough, or properly, etc. and again, I state that this is only my personal experience, and as such, it may not be applicable to everyone else, but it is important to note, nonetheless...

I've been on the hydrogen peroxide therapy for 13 days now. My question is: Has anyone noticed a change with taste. Food just doesn't taste the same. Is it Me?!
