Some good info on how to take H2O2 safely and effectively. For eg. 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking H2O2 you should avoid certain food or supplements, or you may end up damaging your stomach, even with the proper dilution.

ZERO Vitamin C (even in multi-vitamins), ZERO iron supplements, ZERO fats, dilute heavily with water and always take on an empty stomach.

1. Have fillings(not sure what kind) and a permanent retainer on the top and bottom - Can I still take h2o2 or will it cause reactions with my fillings and retainer?
2. Is h2o2 best taken with baking soda or apple cider vinegar?
3. I am also taking honey and cinnamon a couple times a day. Anyone know if there are complications with this and the h2o2?

I have been using H2O2 for about 1 1/2 yrs (drops in water). I will be flying to South America in 2 mths. I don't want to go without my H2O2. I'll be there for 6 months. Can I take it on the plane (cabin or checked luggage)? It won't be a large amount. Maybe a pint.

The quick answer - no, you're only allowed 3.4 ounces. However, hydrogen peroxide has been around forever and I don't see why you would have any trouble finding it at any number of stores or pharmacies in South America.

Hydrogen Peroxcide

I had been out in the sun for about 2 hours and decided to come in before I got burnt. About 2 hours later I was lopster red, unable to lie down or sit - the pain was unbearable. I was untouchable & red with a very bad case case of sunburn. A friend said to use h-p.

At that time I was game to try anything no matter how silly it sounded. But in 20 minutes I went from bering untouchable to being able to be slapped on the back without any pain. Plus an added benefit For the first time in my life, I kept the tan and did not peel. The fresher the h-p, the better.

The worst part was it felt ice cold when I applied it.

Here in Europe you can take quite a lot of liquids in the bad you check in, no one searches them, the only restrictions are on the liquids you carry in the cabin, other than liquids you buy at the free shop. I suppose this was done in order to keep people from taking stuff with them because now they have to buy things in their own shops. I can't believe that this has any connection with terrorist, to be honest..... And so do a lot of people over here! As you are not allowed to take drinks or food you have to buy everything at the airports!

Please let me know how to mix H202 for the nebulizer in south African measurement. We have ml. My husband has emphysema, and I believe this improves the breathing, and which one do I use. I don't know anything about this. Please provide as much info as possible. He is 66 years old

Hello Monica Marais! I would suggest you get a food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. It usually comes in at 35% strength. What I did is mix it with 11 parts non-fluoridated and non-chlorinated water. If it is too strong for your dad, you could further cut down the strength of your newly made 3% solution by mixing it with 1 part water and 1 part Peroxide. Hope that helps. Also, try to get fulvic acid if you can, I've been using it for three months and it has helped us out in a lot of ways.

Hello I was wanting to know if HP still has positive effects on the body if you put seven drops into a gallon of distilled water? Reason Im asking is because the doctors have said my mother is not getting enough oxygen to her heart. She's too lazy to do the drops three times a day and watch out when she eats. She wants everything easy and wants people to take care of her. Shes 55. Would it still make her sick if she has food in her stomach? Can you add more than seven drops? Possibly add ACV to it too for flavor? I appreciate any advice. I love my mom I already know how she is. She likes to be difficult. Thanks!

Hi Crissy, I'm putting 10 drops of 35% HP on 1.5L of water. And slowly sip on it the whole day before. Since I'm a bit lazy myself and don't want to wake up early. Lol. So, what I'm doing now is I put 10 drops into an 8oz container at night before bed and keep the stuff beside me at night. When I wake up around 5am to relieve myself, that is when I take it and I go back to bed. For the rest of the day, I bring along a concoction of ACV BS BSM fulvic acid with me to sip the whole day. I believe that would make it easier for me to manage. My mom also drinks 10drops of HP every morning, once a day and it seems to have a positive effect on her. Hope that helps.

Hi I'm Crissy ,
I'm on the fifteen drops of hp. I have no known illness I'm just tired all the time. I started taking hp to prove to my ill mother that it would not kill her. Lol! She has heart problems, anemia and diabetes. Is there a special way she should take hp? Since she's on meds. I take my doses at 5am, go back to sleep, wake up at 8am take another dose and eat at nine. Three hours later I take my final dose. Is there problem with not eating in-between doses? I also have not gotten this energy everyones talking about. I had also seen on another sight that I needed to start taking vitamin E and that ingredient that's in yogurt (sorry cant remember at the moment). So I've been eating yogurt 2x a day and taking the vitamin. I've also been drinking allot of water, avoiding caffeine, and eating healthier. Any advice? I'm using distilled water. Thanks for your time!

Just a update I'm also noticing my skin seems pale. I can see the blue veins in my feet and pelvic area. Is this normal? I an now noticing some energy mentally. I also would like to know if any one has ever dosed a child before? Obviously I believe they would be smaller doses. My four year old had a benign tumor removed from the left side of his brain when he was three. There is a small piece left. The chances of it growing back are small. He's on anti-seizure medication, which I would like him to be off of. I was thinking to give the rest of my family the inhalation type of hp. Thanks for your time, hope to hear from someone soon.

I bought a pint sized bottle of 35%. I put that in an empty gallon jug and added 3 pints of distilled water to it. I then poured the rest of the left over distilled water in to which made it a whole gallon. I take 1 teaspoon of that mixture and put it in a gallon of distilled water and drink a glass whenever I am thirsty throughout the day. Do you think this is the right recipe? Also if I wanted to add the baking soda how much would I add? Would I add the baking soda into my jug I am using throughout the day?

Tonight I started looking for a reason why my local drug stores had no inventory of hydrogen peroxide. Both are major drugist suppliers in a large metro region; between both, there was 1 bottle.

In my search, the following web page came up. You may want to share the article with your readership'

I started taking 3% hydrogen peroxide when I had a cold. I'd taken a bath in hydrogen peroxide and it made me feel lots better. So I researched it here and started taking about an 1/8 to 1/4 cap three times a day.

About a week later, I started getting really achey and sore in my joints, especially around my lower abdomen. After a few days of this, I got curious and started reading comments here. I wondered if perhaps I was getting heavy metal toxicity from the non-food-grade peroxide. I stopped taking the hydrogen peroxide and I took garlic, cilantro, chlorella... put coconut oil on my back...

I felt better very soon after. There's a lot of anecdotal stories here... Maybe there was no heavy metal toxicity... Maybe it was just related to the cold I'd had... Maybe it wasn't related to the hydrogen peroxide... maybe it was coincidence.

Anyway, I'm certainly not taking non-food-grade hp again.

It can take a few days, but most people will find the HP helps the body detox and heal, and what they experience is often detox and/or healing reactions.

If you have had any issues before that spring up during the initial stages of taking HP, that can be due to the body going through proper healing and detox of those areas. When we are sick, although the body will heal, it cannot always do it properly so makes a patch-up job until it gets the resources to do it properly.

It is very common to feel poorly initially - that is why it is far better to go slowly with the HP and gradually increase it. You can always drop back a dose or stop it for a day or two until the reactions subside.

We have been 'programmed' to believe that any kind of pain or discomfort has to be an 'illness', but the body only has a few ways it can heal, and one of them is through inflammation - getting blood - and oxygen - to damaged areas in order to put them right. But whilst the healing process will always eventually stop, the damage process doesn't.

My husband and I have started on the H20. We are up to nine drops in distilled water. Is is ok to premix it in distilled water in smaller bottles? My husbands schedule is so crazy as a trucker I thought could mix it before he goes so he can have it handy during his drive.

Also if you miss a day should you start over from 3 drops? Already we both feel our breathing is better and I have much more energy. Thank you in advance

Can you both post more details. There should be no reason you cannot take H2O2, you really should be looking at Vitamin C, L-Lysine though for your Heart Disease.

it says on here to only use 35% food grade H202 but I have found 12% and 8% food grade on amazon, are lower percentages of food grade H202 not ok to use internally? just seems like you would dilute it less?
