Hydrogen Peroxide as a Natural Remedy: Benefits and Precautions

I use h2o2 daily to rinse my mouth with. . . I do note that this comment from Dr. Weil is talking about 35% not the 3% I use. . . Is there a big difference and is he right? thanks.

35% Food grade Hydrogen Peroxide is absolutely a miracle cure. . . . Over time. So many benefits! ! ! ! -and not the side effects that synthetic drugs come with. Take the opportunity to research ALL FG H2O information and see for yourself the results that arise after using. Big Pharma cannot patent H2O therefore it does not add to their bottom line as do all the synthetic "garbage" they produce, thus the discredit manuevers they have successfully employed to sabotague FG H2O. Don't listen to someone else, find your own information to make your OWN decision. All The Best!

I read here quite often that people use hydrogen peroxide internally, but my husband who is a chemist says that I shouldn't use it as it is a dangerous chemical...... I don't know what to think anymore.... is it or isn't it?

Answer to Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France

Bonjour

It's all a matter of concentration. The maximum recommended concentration of H2O2 for internal use is 0.5%. But even 1/10 of it is still beneficial. There are other ways also than internal.

This page http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1586256#i has a lot of links to H2O2 articles.

It does not hurt to read about H2O2, and people may learn a few things.

Bonne chance

It is produced by the body naturally. Orange juice and honey actually metabolize into H202. In the US, it is common to treat water for consumption with Chlorine, which can be very dangerous in various strengths and forms. Still, it is used in treating drinking water and millions consume it every day.

I would say an excess of anything is not good. I am using 3 drops of 35% in 8 oz of water to keep my glucose level stable.

In Feb of 09, my glucose levels were at and above 500. I fasted and flushed and was still unable to get it below 300, where it remained... until after 3 doses as measured above. Coupled with my oral medications, my glucose levels dropped to the low normal range, my A1c was 6.8 and my triglyceride level was in the low category. The only thing I still had to work on was increasing my HDL and lowering my LDL, but my overall cholesterol was below 200.

The study confirms my actual results with h202. Until I spotted that, I had no idea HOW it was functioning to do what it was doing, only that it did. Now I know.

I watched my father die of complications of diabetes, and for me, it was an easy decision to go outside the box regarding my glucose control efforts. Good luck and best regards.

Answer to Sam from Edmonton: 3% peroxide is for external use. For internal use it should be 0.5% or below.

The ways to use H2O2 are:
1-External uses: Baths and body sprays
Alkalizing baths
Alkalizing foot baths
Alkalizing shower/spray from http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1009888
or http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1533666#i

2-Bill Munro H2o2 inhalation method
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT1_Rkl0B1M

3-Internal - orally method (see below)

4-Internal - intravenously

For external use it does not have to be food grade.
Moreless alkalizing baths and shower protocols use regular 3% h2o2.

For internal use, all articles I read do not recommend the use of pharma grade. It has to be diluted Food grade. Bill Munro use phama 3% in his inhalation method. However, I would prefer to use a 3% solution made with food grade H2O2 if it is available.

For dosages please read the Dosage section.

Where to buy? It depends on the country. See the Where to buy section below.

Here's the recommendation from Earthclinic's Ted from https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/hydrogen_peroxide.html:

--Beginning of quote--
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.

Tumors 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.

This Hydrogen Peroxide thing has got me really confused. What is the shelf life of this product without stabilisers? I am told less than a month. If this is so you need to obtain it freshly made and in small quantities from a local lab. With the mail as slow as it is here...! Impossible to have. I have not been feeling great and tried Bill Munroe's inhalation technique. I can't say it did anything for me and absolutely no sensation in the mouth so I'm wondering if it is out of date even with a stabiliser( Coopers). Maybe I should set up a lab! Lugol's solution also is active for almost exactly one month so no use stocking up on that for the next nuclear accident!

Dear Sai, ok I have a background in Biochemistry, but I won't bore you to tears about this. Because I have limited time, here are a few counterpoints to that reviewer on Amazon...

"Ozone and Hydrogen peroxide are not oxygen. One molecule of sodium changes normal Glutamic acid to a toxic poison known as msg."  

Taking hydrogen peroxide actually increases the blood oxygen level significantly. This you can go to a hospital to get. Some of my clients have done this on many occasions. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with an organic molecules ore bacteria and breaks down into water and a singlet oxygen. Many of this will get you oxygen.

"In the body, hydrogen peroxide is only produced within the mitochondria, and at specific points where the immune system activates hydrogen peroxide to kill pathogens"

Hydrogen peroxide is more likely produced by the white blood cells used to ingest bacteria and viruses. Hence it is specific to immune systems.

"Flood your body with ozone and peroxide? Not a good idea. It is just a basic scientific fact that reactive oxygen species are one of the main causes of aging and death."

Edgar Cayce's wife, in his reading for her to go to the mountains, where it's ozone rich. It's used to cure tuberculosis. I used ozone directly to cure tuberculosis. It's a good idea if you are infected to use ozone to kill TB before it kills you. What are you going tell your father, let him die from TB because it's antibiotic resistance won't save him?

"It is just a basic scientific fact that reactive oxygen species are one of the main causes of aging and death. Don't believe Ed Mccabe's crap about how peroxide isn't an ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species)"

The father of free radical theory of aging is based on Dr. Denham Harman. The theory that is accepted worldwide is based on the Fenton Reaction, which is free radical Iron, that creates Hydroxyl Free radicals, called -OH, which is the most reactive of the free radicals that explains the theory of aging. It's in your iron frying pan when you have enough of that, you have both heavy metals and free metal iron. The body in general uses hydrogen peroxide to kill of the bugs anyway, but when it is overwhelmed there is no way that our immune system can reproduce as fast as the viruses. It takes on average about 2 hours to get almost saturation in the body. Hence my remedies, whether aspirin. hydrogen peroxide or lysine I used to cure in most of the people is the hourly dose. Hydrogen peroxide on the other hand stays in your body on the average of 50 minutes. Hence hydrogen peroxide if is needed to treat the flu, is taken at intervals of 25 minutes, or 1/2 of the 50 minutes before the viruses have a chance to overwhelm our immune systems.

"One of the most BASIC methods of evaluating a person's health status is the free hydrogen peroxide levels in their blood."

The truth is one of the basic methods of evaluation a health status is the person's low levels of oxygen. Anaerobic bacteria grows in low oxygen environments.

"Flooding your body with hydrogen peroxide and ozone is the equivalent of releasing a nuclear bomb into your system. If it wasn't, you would be able to drink more than a couple drops without dying."

Flooding your body with hydrogen peroxide and ozone is equivalent of the patriot missles shooting down at the anaerobic bacteria which kills you. The oxygen is needed by the healthy cells whenever hydrogen peroxide is degraded in presence of pathogenic bacteria.

"I'm really getting sick of the pseudo-scientists and fake naturopaths promoting this idiocy."

I am really getting sick of someone who thinks he's not an idiot when he actually IS.

I think I don't have to go any further, because if you begin with a statement that doesn't support itself, there's no use talking any further. There's a lack of credibility here.

Ted

Dear Ted,

Thank you so much for that reply. You made my head feel lighter since it does look like I have H2O2 still there on my side :) Your replies to so many things/questions on this site are highly appreciated.

Sai

PS: I didn't reply earlier because I didn't know where to look for my question on the site.

Hello Sai and all,

My name is Sachin. I am a member of this site. Do you have any idea that from where can one purchase Food Grade Oxygen in India... particularly so in Delhi?

One more thing that bothers me is the release of oxygen atoms (not molecules) by the Hydrogen peroxide. The oxygen atoms are the free radicals that are a highly reactive species and are resposible for high and fast oxidation. I dont buy the idea that oxygen atoms are harmful only to anaerobic organisms. Its a checical reaction, oxygen atoms can chemically react with any chemical (even from a aerobic organism) that can distort the checmical structure of the molecule of the aerobic organism... The change of molecular structure (by reacting with O atom) of a aerobic substance means the O atom has effectively given harm to the aerobic bacteria or aerobic tissue of the human body... Though I am not against the effectiveness of oxygen in treating diseases, I suspect adverse affects of oxygen free radicals on our living tissues in our bodies..

An alternative method can be using water with higher levels of dissloved oxygen. These will be oxygen MOLECULES and not atoms i.e. not free radicals.. may be one can obtain this by use of Hydrogen Peroxide as well. O atoms are highly reactive, they are very unstable also. There are O atoms produced in a solution of h2O2 and water mixture. it may happen that after keeping the solution at rest for sometime, the O atoms being unstable may combine with each other in the solution to form O2 molecules. Thus creating dissolved oxygen in water. To explain chemically:-

H2O2 ----> H2O O (highly reactive) (in water)
O O ----> O2

What say??

Also Sai, please let me know if you know about any vendors for Food Grade H2O2 or Oxygenated water in Delhi or in India.

Many Thanks in advance!

Answer to Lyndi about the internal use of H2O2.

When you take H2O2 internally, you must take your solution on empty stomach. You may start also with a solution even more diluted than the one you are actually using. Try the very diluted ways as suggested by Ted at EC.

To know more about various H2O2 protocols here are a few links:

Jaques, how do other vitamins and supplements we are drinking get in to the Blood stream maybe we ask the good Doctor

Stan i think you are right.................and Franz from Bankok, I have been wondering about mixing acv with h202 as well - as i take acv for GERD which helps but wanted to take h202, but they are supposed to both be taken on empty stomach, given i only eat morning and evening, should be too hard, but its take one, wait how long before taking the other then wait............before eating breakfast..............would be grateful if there is someone on here who does this who could enlighten us.......

My experience of using acv and peroxide was external not internal and the result tells me to use the two separately with a couple of hours between. I had been using Teds remedy for rosacea sucessfully. I was so used to doing it I didn;t even think twice about measuring - I could have done it with my eyes closed (or so I thought). I woke up one weekend after having a late meal I was suffering heartburn so I was going to take the acv and baking soda. Somehow I got mixed up and put the acv and peoxide together and slathered it on my face. I probobly would have paid a fortune for the resulting chemical peel if I had gone to a salon. My face stayed burned and stayed red for about 8 hours. I spent most of my day making excuses for my own stupidity (I admit I lied through my teeth about allergic reactions). I will say that the next day my skin looked and felt great.

This WAS neat acv and peroxide. Maybe adding water to it would make it different but after my day when my face could have landed a 747 in the back yard i would be wary of taking the two together

Looks like someone got a chemical peel for their face - lol!

Anyway for those who were asking about mixing h202 and acv, and also the affectiveness of drinking h202, i had this reply to my questions, from Ian Weir of an online shop in the UK who sell both products plus much more..............

"H2O2 certainly cannot be absorbed into the blood stream as efficiently through the gut. Our bodies are designed to take oxygen in through the lungs, and injection into the blood is the most efficient way. However the idea behind taking H2O2 into the gut is not necessarily to increase oxygen levels in your blood. You would be better off using Hyper Barric Oxygen Therapy for this. The method of action of the H2O2 in the gut is the scavenging action of the free oxygen acting as a detox.
I cannot recommend that you mix it with ACV or bicarb as i do not know whether this will cause frothing in the stomach and therefore nausea.
