I'm about to start H2O2 therapy but I have one concern. I am a transgender girl, with that being said, I'm currently on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and I really need to know if there are any known adverse reactions or problems with H2O2 and HRT.

Any information will be much appreciated.

Re: h202 for Candida...I would like to clarify the math for using h202 (Food grade 35%) for everyday use.

I realize that we can't use h202 food grade at the 35% because of its toxicity; however, I am curious to know how we arrive at the percentage for everyday use? and is the percentage 2, 3 percent?

Would someone please clarify the math for me?

What an inspiring site you have! Thank you for being! Buffy

Okay ... I am getting closer to trying H2O2 after reading everyone's comments. But I am still uncertain on how one "takes it." I have read many websites and I am just not sure. Lets say one has lung issues. Should you drop it in water and drink it? I hear it can be dangerous. Also, everyone cautions that you must use the "good stuff." Please recommend a nationwide grocery store chain and specific product hat you have used safely and successfully. Thank and I am happy you have all had success.

Bess, you said that you had read that doing a gentle "health bounce" on a mini-trampoline (rebounder) assists in getting the lymph moving as it transports and eliminates toxins. NEVER do this if you have a lymphoma type cancer, especially if it is marginalized (enlarged lymph nodes appear in only a limited area, such as a lung. ) This increases the opportunity for the cancerous lymph cells to multiply very rapidly into other parts of the body and can actually impede the process of chemotherapy. I don't know if alternative healthcare modalities are impacted or not. I am a B-cell lymphoma survivor who chose a modified conventional treatment regimen. I've been cancer free since August 2011.

I highly doubt that you will be allowed to travel with hydrogen peroxide. One of the main ingredients in the bomb that killed 52 people in London in July of 2005 was hydrogen peroxide.

No harm in contacting the TSA, of course. But, I wouldn't think they'd allow it.

I believe 35% strength H2O2 cannot be shipped by air but can certainly be shipped by surface carriers and the supplier should be aware of who can do this. You can purchase 3% or 6% food grade which should prove no problem.

Hi Bill, thanks for posting your supplement "protocol. " This protocol here will probably work for a variety of probelms. The only thing I'm curious about is the mixing of them. If I got it right...

....Don't take Lugols or H2O2 -oxidizers - at the same time as Vit C -anti-oxidants-.

Don't take too much ACV and H2O2 together unless it's just a few drops of H2O2?

Lugols, H2O2 (few drops), AVC/lemon/lime, niacin, selenium, magnesium and zinc can be taken at the same time?

Is magnesium citrate sometimes rough on tummies? If so then take the magnesium chloride?

Zinc can cause some upset stomach so maybe take it with or after meal. And don't take H2O2 with meals or you might get an upset stomach. And the Lugol's were taking about here is full strength, if not double the drops. Thank thee!

Finally, I take it that all these are only take severals days out fo the week - including the Lugols? Thanks.

Hi Anon... Whenever I take 5% lugol's iodine I generally use it on its own, in split doses, with a glass of water. I used to have only the 1% lugols and I used to take about 8 to 10 drops of this a day. This may sound a lot, but you have to take account of the difference in strength between the 5% lugols(the original stronger form) and the 1% lugols. The 5% lugols is 5 times as strong as the 1% lugols. So that's why I took 10 drops of 1% lugols per day. I now have the 5% lugols iodine -- so I only have to take 2 drops a day as an equivalent dose. The 1% iodine was golden brown and I could see through it in the dropper, but the 5% lugol's is almost black and you cannot see through it. And for a 2% lugol's iodine solution I would have to take 5 drops which approximates to 2 drops of the 5% lugols iodine. I am only mentioning this because most descriptions on the older and successful historic use of iodine refers specifically to the stronger 5% lugols iodine solution, which can be hard to obtain now and I think this must confuse people -- regarding proper effective dosages.

I tend to take Hydrogen Peroxide (HP), Iodine, Methylene Blue and Sodium Thiosulfate (ST) on their own because they are quite reactive. I add ST to water or take it with fulvic/humic acid drops in water. I always take drops of Methylene Blue mixed together with vitamin c in water. I sometimes take the lugols iodine mixed in with vitamin C as Ted advises -- but this seems to convert all the the elemental iodine to iodide. However, this is useful to convert the ascorbic acid to the dehydroascobic acid form -- which helps the vit c to more fully penetrate the blood/bone and blood/barriers. But as I've said, your body needs both iodide and iodine because these two forms must be present for whole body iodine/iodide sufficiency(not just thyroid sufficiency).

For instance, the thyroid needs only the iodide form for sufficiency whereas the the breasts and prostate need the the elemental iodine mixed with the iodide form as well, to create the triiodide or atomic iodine form necessary for their sufficiency.

That's why I always use the Lugol's form rather than the SSKI form -- which can also be very useful for specific things on its own as well.

I sometimes also mix 3% HP with the Borax Water as Ted has advised -- but I don't mix it with any other chemical generally although I do use it to wash veg and fruit to get rid of outside toxins. I use the HP a lot externally to regularly wash and disinfect the sweatier areas of the body. I also use it as a mouthwash and aftershave everyday now.

Lugols, H2O2 (few drops), AVC/lemon/ lime, niacin, selenium, magnesium and zinc can be taken at the same time?

I would take the HP on its own at another time. The rest can be taken as I have already advised. Please notice that some of the above nutrients are taken with meals and others are taken outside meals for specific reasons.

Is magnesium citrate sometimes rough on tummies? If so then take the magnesium chloride?

I've never found Magnesium Citrate to cause stomach sensitivities unless incorrect doasages are taken. But I've also found that, in some makes of all nutrients sold, they use large amounts of fillers and additive powders. Blame Codex for that.

Magnesium Chloride is fine to use instead of the magnesium citrate. But there are availability issues for mag chloride which can be difficult to obtain. I also have magnesium chloride but I don't use it everyday unless I must. Usually I use the mag citrate and mag sulfate(epsom salt) forms for sufficiency because they are much more available where I live.

Zinc can cause some upset stomach so maybe take it with or after meal. And don't take H2O2 with meals or you might get an upset stomach.

Zinc is like Calcium -- a bit tricky -- because it depends how much you get from your diet. Ted advises high dose -- 25 mgs, if needed, for about a week then cut back to taking the zinc just once a week. Simlarly, B complex should be taken 3 times a week for sufficiency unless there is a specific reason or problem. You should also never take HP orally anywhere near meals or with food.

Finally, I take it that all these are only taken severals days out for the week - including the Lugols?

You should regularly take a break from all supplements as you say. In the case of taking Ted's Borax Water, this is a must -- take it for 5 days and then always have 2 days off from the remedy at the weekends.

David, as for the sleep thing, here is a list of supplements that can help w/ that problem: Magnesium, Valerian, Passion Flower, Melatonin, 5 Hydroxytriptamine (5HTP), and Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA). Take as recommended on lables.

As for rebuilding damaged tissue and even nerve tissue, Chlorella & Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids ---Fish & Flax Oils and be sure to take at least 400iu Vit-E to protect the EFA's.

If you find yourself at the doctors office soon, discuss or ask about the synthetic prescription form of GABA called Gabapentin or Neurotin (maybe only U. S. brands I dunno), to help with the bad side effects of previous meds; this can help with the nerves.

Also try some relaxing music or better still relaxing and healing music. Check out the Harmonic Solfaggio Frequencies especially Love 528 (Love 528 Radio http://528records.com/radio) that has the same resonance as the heart of God. Also it seems you may need some chakra balancing and healing as disease, stress, and negative energy can and does affect our spirit or chakras. There are Harmonics on all I mentioned on Youtube.

Hope this helps and good luck.

@Timh from Louisville, Usa: Many thanks for your kind help. I've been taking a magnesium supplement now for four days. Last night I woke after the usual four hours, felt wide awake with racing mind and utterly exhausted as usual, took 10mg of Valium and fell back into a proper sleep, not the usual light doze I get with Valium. Slept for nine hours in all - a record for me. So I think the magnesium may definitely be helping.

All the shops here are now closed until next Tuesday or Wednesday, so I won't be able to source the other things on your list till then.

I've got Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules (no flax oil in them though). My pharmacist told me I didn't need to take them while on the Sona Multiplus - but I've just taken 2 capsules now and I'll take another two tomorrow.

My Pain Specialist put me on Neurontin a year ago (which is what it's named here - it's gabapentin all right) for my back pain. It didn't work, so I doubled the dose (his instructions). Still didn't work, so I tripled it. Worked for a week, then stopped. So I gave the remaining capsules back to the pharmacy for disposal.

I need a prescription for it though and my doctor is not back on duty till the New Year. So I'm out of luck yet again (story of my life). What a Christmas I'm having. I hope yours is a lot happier.

I tried the radio station (528) briefly. I was hoping to hear just the frequency itself and fall asleep to it. But apparently it's always mixed into rock music. Couldn't sleep to that (and I used to compose rock and other types of music for a living). I'll try leaving it on all day tomorrow though. Or I might try making my own 528 tone loop and copy it onto my iPad.

Thanks again for your kindness and assistance. Happy holidays!

As for the Love 528 Records, there are several channels, not just rock Mixed 528 Music 528Blues.com 528EcstaticDance.com 528Disco.com 528Motown.com. All this music has been digitally converted from our normal frequency (can't remember the f number, but it is supposed to be a bastardized form of the original Solfaggio) to Solffagio scale. If you want simply harmonic music in Solfaggio go to YouTube. I listened to the entire scale last night w/ good results in the middle of an hypertension crises.

My absolute favourite for falling asleep to is the "Lush" channel on SomaFM. Wonderfully calming stuff - I highly recommend it.

Hi Ted,

I've been reading the EC site and I'm confused. I've read that some people use the FGHP in their coffee. Starbucks? 7-11? Home brewed? I take my H202 in 8oz of distilled water and then I drink a couple of cups of coffee. Is this OK? Or, am I negating the effects of the H202?

Some people say they mix the H202 in "juice. " That's pretty nebulous as there's tons of "juices". Is apple juice (frozen mixed with distilled water) OK, or is there one you'd recommend?

I've been at 25 drops twice a day (I can't do the third dose because of my schedule and meds) for 14 days now and I find that my stomach gets really queazy with the afternoon dose. Will adding 14 teaspoon of Baking Soda help? Or will it negate the effects of H202?

The only one found is Wellmex Hydrogen Peroxide Solution B. P. 60ml, made in Thailand, distributed by Wellmex Sdn Bhd from Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia.

It is in a small brown bottle with a yellow label sticker, containing 6% w/v of Hydrogen Peroxide equivalent to 20 volumes of available oxygen. It says for first aid, dressing wounds, gargle and something called catarrh.

I don't dare to use it. I don't know how to use it. I am not sure if it is safe to put in water to drink too. Anyone has use this product before? Do you know how to use it for detox? Is it safe? Ted, what do you have to say? It is made in Thailand.
