If I was stranded on a deserted island and could have 3 items, the first would be a bottle of peroxide. I have used it for years to brush my teeth and gargle with. I put a drop or two in ears every day, I use it on "old age spots" every day and in time they dissappear. Any kind of scratch, pimple, Etc., out comes the wonderall, inexpensive proxide. I am 65 years old, have all my teeth, never have colds, and have beautiful skin. It's excellent for nails, cleaning my jewelery, stains on white countertops and I could go on and on. But the health benefits are amazing!

One thing to be aware of is that H2O2 chelates (dissolves) metals so you will want to be sure that your dog's water bowl is not made of metal.


Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2
Posted by Joe (San Diego, California USA) on 02/19/2012

I read the post regarding stabilzers and bought the 3% drug store type from Wal Mart & Kogers. I didn't think there were any it the product because listed on the label under inactive ingredient it only says purified water on both bottles. Also did the sunlight test and bubble test and both bottles passed. After ingesting H202 for a couple of days I called the poisen info. # on the back of the bottle and they had no information but advised against ingesting. The Kroger's bottle had a product information 800 number that I called. I asked if the product contained stablizers and in about one minute I had an answer. The kind women read off about five chemical stablizers and additives that were not listed on the label. As soon as I hung up I went online and ordered 35% Food Grade H202. I did use the rest of the two bottles to put in my bath. To those of you who posted that you are drinking the 3% H202 from your local CVS. Rite Aid's or Walgreens I highly recommend you check out what's in it before you continue drinking it.


Bad Breath

I had stinky breath that nothing would help, I did work in a steel mill and AC work and the smell was coming from my lungs, mold or fungus was what I thought it was. What I did that helped a lot more than just the breath, 3% Hydrogen peroxide diluted by 3:1 by distilled water in a house hold atomizing hand sprayer. I put the sprayer on the finest mist setting and breathed the mist, I didn't swallow any, spitting out what was left in my mouth, I breathed the aspirated diluted peroxide. within a day, no more smell and I breathed better. I'm 68.


12% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Robert L (South Carolina) on 08/08/2020

Hello Angie.

Clarification on why take H2O2 on an empty stomach. The reasoning is H2O2 will foam when it comes in contact with a variety of substances and microorganisms some of which are likely to be found in the food you eat. So if you take it soon after or before eating it is likely to foam up in your stomach, making you feel queasy or nauseas. If you dilute it enough you can avoid that issue from that angle.

The difference between 12% and 35% is just the ratio of H2O2 and water. Add twice as much water to a 36% solution and you will have a 12% solution. Also if your formula is 2 drops of 35% to 8 oz of distilled water then 6 drops of 12% to 8 oz of distilled water should give you just about the same solution.

Also be careful double check your actions as some of the posts here leave out an important fact. If you are taking advice here double check your actions against some other post or resource. Hope this is helpful.

I recently bought a bottle of 3% HP because my tooth was in pain every day and night for about 2wks. And my dental appt. was exactly 1 month away, I would either have to find another dentist or fix the pain myself, since the pain killers I was taking wasn't effective enough to help. I started using the HP and the pain eased significantly, by the next day I really wasn't in any pain just uncomfortable feeling that the swelling left behind. After a couple of more days of swoshing it around in my mouth a few times a day, there wasn't anymore pain and know I have been pain free of this toothache now for the second wk. And I still have 11 more days until my dental appt. on Dec. 4th. Thanks for HP. It saved my toothache from aching.

Just started with 3% solution mouthwash, Initially, there was a lot of foam and bubbles coming out from my gums and tongue. Must be the bacteria being killed by the H2O2. Subsequently after three days of rinsing twice a day, my swollen gums have receeded and the sore on the side of my tongue has turned white and the pain diasappeared. Even my toothache was gone. Except for the tingling sensation on the tongue, the only other unpreferred sensation was the taste. So I mixed it with a few drops of astringosol to have that minty taste. Is this OK? Has anyone out there tried this?

Arthritis
Posted by Lee773 (Chicago, Illinois, United States) on 09/24/2009
★★★★☆

I have been reading and researching for the last few weeks about the many cures of Hydrogen Peroxide 35% Food Grade. I purchased a bottle and had my mother start with the treatment 1 drop in an 8 ounce glass of water 3 times a day, increasing the drops by one drop each day. She is now up to 5 drops as of today, and will be on her 6th drop tomorrow morning. My mother has been suffering from severe artritis for many years, but over the last year it has gotten to the point where she could barely walk. So let me tell you that as of today 9-24-2009, since starting this therapy of oral ingestion 5 days ago, she is not complaining at all of the pain in her lower back, left shoulder, wrist or leg areas. My mother said the only thing she feels now is stiffness in the back of her leg (knee area), but its starting to loosen up. I can tell by looking at how she walks now compared to last week, that it is working for real, It is still early, but I have to say that I am shocked!

Today as I was talking to her, she told me that the feeling in her toes have returned, she didn't bother to mention this to any of my siblings or myself until I was asking her how she has been feeling, since I got her started on the Hydrogen Peroxide 35% diluted with the dropper in 8 ounces of water. By the way my mother is 85 years old. I don't know what to expect as we continue with this therapy, but I have to say I'm thankful for a site like this, and all the information that I have read online here, and all the readily available information on the internet. I will update as I continue to watch my mother's progress. Thank you again!

Ear and Sinus Issues

Started on 35% food grade 10 days ago. Am using 12 drops 3 times daily as recommended by Cavanaugh. I have been in the heating and air business for 30 years and have suffered from chronic sinus and ear infections due to the dust and molds that I encounter at work. I have had two sinus surgeries over the years that have done nothing to help me. The doctors give antibiotics that never seem to clear the infections all the way and the infections always return. I am happy to say that my ears and sinuses are responding to this treatment. I really don't know what "normal" sinuses feel like. Can't believe that this has been here all along and I have suffered all these years due to the medical communities bias. Thanks for this forum. Ken from Atlanta

Dear D. Barwood, and all others on this site with so many questions,

There is much confusion on this site about the H-202, and the percentages and how to apply or injest. I just finished reading the Most intelligently written book on H-202, called "Flood Your Body with Oxygen", by Ed McCabe. Read 1st, chapter 9, it will answer all your questions, specifically, to each of you, on all applications of H-202, orally/topically and the Power of H-202, Oxygen for your body!!!
Go to: www.oxygenhealth.com

To all the mis-informed, so called experts, and uneducated people who call this all nonsence, Oxygen & Water is in the H-202, and Oxygen is what your body runs on everyday, the minute you stop your Oxygen intake, How long do you think you'll survive?? Disease CANNOT SURVIVE IN AN OXYGENATED BODY! Therefore, when you ingest Extra Oxygen, H-202, food grade, (35%) diluted to 3% in (Distilled Water Only) IT WILL KILL ALL BACTERIA, FUNGUS, VIRUS, PARASITES, YEAST, EXPELS TOXINS OUT OF THE BODY , AND DOES NOT KILL HEALTHY CELLS !!!

Listen Up PLEASE: The peroxisomes are areas in our cells programmed to make hydrogen peroxide. The white blood cells engulf bacteria, viruses, or other unwanted invaders and squirt hydrogen peroxide on them. They simply burn up, or oxidize, the offending microorganism! That's your immune system in Action! The very fact that all your cells make Peroxide defines this process as your first line of immune defense. But, You must have enough Oxygen in your system to make it in the first place.

The peroxisomes make our peroxide continually, but normal healthy cells are left unharmed! This is Extremely Important for You to grasp, for it is the reason we can put Oxygen Therapies into our bodies without hurting the normal cells.

PEROXIDE: CALLED Oxygen Water, Dioxogen, Alphozone & Hydrozone.

For the past 100 years in America, people have tried imbibing or orally ingesting diluted solutions of pure H-202. They diluted it in distilled water and drank it. This old folk remedy that goes back to the 18th century has a remarkable ability to kill bacteria, and is unique in its simplicity. This information about the power of H-202, has been written about in the Medical Journals by Doctors in the US back in the early 1920's. Thousands of reports have been written about the Doctors success in treating their patients with diluted Hydrogen Peroxide!

I have been using this wonderful product myself for the last 2 yrs, with great success!!! I have not had a cold, flu, nor any other issue. In fact if I get a headache I just take a glass of water (distilled) with 35% (about 5-6 drops) of H.P. in my water, drink it, and headache gone. I also place the H-202 in my water when I exercise and have excellent energie in my workouts. I also place diluted 35% H.P. (in distilled water) in a spray bottle and spray on any area of pain in my body, spray several times per day, and with great results. OXYGEN IN THE BODY, OR APPLIED TO THE SKIN, HEALS!!!!!!!!

1. Never mix the Hydrogen Per. with any other liquid other than Distilled Water if taking orally!
2. For oral use to irradicate whatever issue in your body, Always Start Slowly, example;
start with distilled water 4-5 once, and 3 drops 35% H.P. 3x p/day, then increase by one drop every other day, you will notice as time passes that you will feel cleansing reactions such as, a cold, or a rash in a previously injured area, or loose stools, or a fever. The cleansing reaction means the oxygen has hit the spot where you start burning up, or oxidizing, or destroying the bacteria, the viruses, the fungus, and the pathogens.

If the cleansing symptoms are too harsh slow down the dosage of H-202 intake for a week of so and then start to increase dosage again, accordingly.

Always use Caution & Common sense. Read the Book mentioned above first, and educate yourself!

3. Always, (when taken orally, the water with H.P. take One Hour before a meal, and one hr. after.
4. NEVER, just Stop taking the H-202 in water suddenly, you must decrease your drops slowly each day and then just take a few drops 4-5 p/day for maintenance..., if you STOP suddenly you will experience that your body has not finished it's cleansing and will give you other symptoms. Taking the H-202 orally, high amounts, for issues should be taken for a period of 2-3mos as your body will experience a cleansing and it needs that time to clean itself out!
5. Wear gloves when handling the 35% H.P., as it can burn/irritate your skin.
6. Never, Ever, take the H-202 anywhere near your eyes, it will cause major damage.
7. WHEN TAKING THE H-202 ORALLY, YOU WILL FEEL GREAT, AND MORE ENERGETIC!!

FOR ADDITIONAL INFO. WHERE TO PURCHASE 35% H-202, PLEASE SEE THIS SITE; www.h2o2oxytech.com

CLICK ON; FIND A RETAILER NEAR YOU, THEN CLICK ON YOUR STATE WHERE YOU LIVE, USUALLY THERE'S A PLACE NEAR YOU WHO SELLS IT.

I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR EVERYONE TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES IN THIS AREA, AND EACH OF YOU COULD PURCHASE THE BOOK MENTIONED ABOVE, $28. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH, BE HAPPIER, AS YOU WILL FEEL BETTER, AND KEEP YOURSELF OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OR THE DOCTORS OFFICE!!!

Remember, the H-202 by itself cannot do it all, one also needs to eat a healthy menu, ie;
lots of fruit, vegetables, chicken, fish, drink lots of water and stay away from sugars, boxed food, fast food, dairy..., and BREATHE MORE OXYGEN, YOUR BODY WILL LOVE YOU!!!

**I do hope this has been helpful for many of you! I wanted to return the favor to "TED", and say "Thank You TED" for a wonderful site, with much wisdom! This site has given me so much and has opened my eyes and helped me to see a hidden Secret!!
God Bless All of You,

BEST SUCCESS TO ALL WHO READ THIS,

Cold Sores

Hydrogen Peroxide has worked great for my acne and periodic cold sores. Once or twice a day I swab my face with it after washing. I also rinse with it after brushing. I have not had a blemish or cold sore since!


Colds and Flu
Posted by Jennifer (Henderson, NV) on 08/14/2008

In 2006, I worked in an office where a few women would literally be sick with colds, flu, etc. like every other week. No Joke! Well, they had small children at home and I'm sure this is where they were continuing to pick up viruses from. But they would keep coming to work -they wouldn't call in sick, so they would be coughing, sneezing using the phones, touching fax/copy machines, spreading their germs around continuously on the equipment that we ALL used.

SICK of catching their viruses, my friend looked up remedies for the common cold. She found something about peroxide in your ears could stop a cold before it could develop.

Well I tried it, and I have been doing it for the past year and a half every time I feel one coming on. If I feel a sore throat, runny nose, etc coming on I just use a small eyedropper and put about 4-5 drops of 3% peroxide (bought at any drug store) in one ear, (tilt head over the sink) and wait about 2-3 mins until you feel the peroxide stop bubbling and get thru the ear wax. Repeat in other ear.

This has saved me so much time, money and kept me side-effect-free, that I can't be grateful enough for finding out about it.

This past winter I worked in another office where mostly women worked, and once again kept getting and bringing to work all the wintertime viruses for colds and flu. If I felt anything coming on, I just did the peroxide remedy and am happy to say I remained healthy all winter long while surrounded by repeatedly sick co-workers. I told them all about the peroxide in the ear remedy, but they were skeptical and I don't think any of them tried it. Even when I challenged them to the fact that I was the only one in the office who had not been sick at all and had missed no work~
There should be a LAW :)

Yes use 35% food grade HP, but make sure you dilute it enough. One capful of 35% is not the same as one capful of 3%! It is far stronger and should be used in drops rather than caps - starting at 1 - 3 drops in a glass of non-chlorinated water.

If you do not know the protocol, check it out on page 1 of this section. It is repeated many times throughout the section, but it's amazing how many people don't read it all through and keep asking the same questions!

Posted by Alexandra (Uk) on 07/27/2017

To add to the knowledge, Lactic bacteria can live and reproduce healthily with or without oxygen - and they are the main ones in our guts - therefore the Hydrogen peroxide should not harm them.

If you want to know more about fermentation and the bacteria, have a read at this, about sourkrout-making - as some schools say they should be sealed and others say they don't need to be.

http://www.wildfermentation.com/aerobic-vs-anaerobic-fermentation-controversy/

Because of that, I would definitely trust that taking 3 drops of 12% food-grade HP in an 8 ounce glass of water to be totally safe to my gut flora. We will see, it is coming in a few days... Very interesting conversation though.


Checking for Stabilizers in H2O2
Posted by Paracelsus (Orlando, fl) on 08/08/2022 47 posts

I would like to see actual scientific evidence that the cheap drug store stuff is harmful. I just don't buy it. My bottle says for external use and as a mouth wash. And we all know that things applied to the skin are absorbed through the skin and some of that mouthwash either is swallowed or enters the body by osmosis through the gums. Also, if it so dangerous, how come you can apply it directly to a cut or a wound? Sure, food grade is probably better, but if all you can afford or find is the cheap stuff, it's certainly ok to take it internally in small amounts.


Non Food Grade 3% Vs Food Grade 35%
Posted by Paracelsus (Orlando, Fl) on 08/14/2020 47 posts
★★★★★

I do understand that you're supposed to take food grade. However, the 3% solution from the drugstore works well also. People imagine that somehow it will hurt you. How is that possible? The cheap stuff is made to put on an open wound, which means it will enter your blood stream. It is also recommended as a mouth wash. You really think that no H2O2 will enter your bloodstream while swishing it around in your mouth? Of course it does. So while food grade might be ideal, the cheap stuff is safe or you wouldn't be able to survive pouring it on open wounds.

The label on the 3% drug store version says you can use it as an oral debridement but not to drink it. Imo, that label is simply there to protect the manufacturer from being sued by people who think you should be drinking H2O2 like soda or water in massive amounts. It is inevitable that you will ingest a few drops each time you rinse your mouth with H2O2.

Also, don't fret if you can't find 35% solution. You can use a lower concentration but you just have to increase the dosage. E.g. if you get the 12% concentration, then you just triple the number of drops in the same amount of water (3x12%=36%). Same for the 3%. Just multiply by 12 x.


Cancer
Posted by Timh (KY) on 07/27/2014 2048 posts

Kristin: I must note a critical factor when battling Cancer and also in using H2O2; one must first ALKALIZE the body. In severe cases of C I recommend beginning w/ Baking Soda + Epsom Salts hot baths. Without alkalizing one cannot defeat cancer or raise the Oxygen levels necessary to beat cancer.

Lipospheric Vit-C is also one of the top 5 single nutrients effective against cancer. Hemp Oil (CBD) is also in the top 5 as it repairs immune disorders AND directly influences cells defense against DNA mutation.


Acne
Posted by Psilas (London, Uk) on 07/03/2012

For acne, boils, eczema, psoriasis etc what you REALLY want is Dead Sea Salt. This stuff is for the skin what hydrogen peroxide is for the blood.

Make sure its 'real' dead sea salt though. There are tons of fake sellers around, especially on ebay.

Ask for a free small sample from the company you are going to purchase from before buying large amounts. Dead sea salt is 'NOT' like normal sea salt and does not taste like it either. It tastes slightly chemical and you wouldn't want it on your food that's for sure. Its kinda like speed or amphetamines to the taste but definitely not salt like.

Use it regularly and dead sea salt can work wonders for the skin.

Hydrogen Peroxide for dental care

I have been using hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash after I brush and floss my teeth for the past 8 years. I just use the 3% solution that you can buy at any pharmacy. I take a swig of hydrogen peroxide straight from the bottle and keep it in my mouth for about 30-60 seconds before spitting it out. It bubbles up and sometimes tingles. If you are not used to it, it will feel weird but it won't hurt unless you have an exposed nerve. Make sure not to swallow it. I don't think that it will cause any huge problems but it will probably give you a stomach ache. This use of hydrogen peroxide is great because it not only kills bacteria and keeps by breath fresh but also makes my teeth sparkling white. One time my dentist commented on how white my teeth are and I told him about the hydrogen peroxide and he jokingly told me not to tell anyone about it or he would lose business.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Thank you Lisa,

My mother's pain stopped the second day after she was on the therapy. She has not had any kind of symptoms until this morning when she vomitted. So, I was not knowing how I should proceed. I have read elsewhere on this site that it may be just the toxins leaving the body. All I can say right now is I believe definitely that the hydrogen peroxide is the reason that my mother is not in pain like she was 17 days ago. She could barely walk, and was in excruciating pain all over (shoulders, lower back, arms, legs, and numbness in her feet) she has none of these symptoms now. The only thing was the vomit this morning.

H202 cured my Periodontal Disease

After finding this site I started using the remedies on some of my health issues. I started rinsing and swishing with hydrogen peroxide daily. At first I wasn't used to the froth and the after-smell (for lack of a better term) so I took a capful. After I got used to it, and perhaps some of the resident bacteria was diminished, I started taking a full swig. I found this to be better because it didn't foam up as fast and got more parts of my mouth.

Well, my teeth began turning white and when I went to the dentist recently he was shocked to see my condition of periodontal diseased gums completely reversed. He asked what I had been doing and if I had been flossing more and I told him I wasn't flossing at all but was rinsing with H202. He said he knew about it but didn't recommend it to patients as it kills the friendly bacteria. However, he seemed very pleased with my results and said I was 100% improved and though the tiny loss of gums I had suffered wouldn't grow back, everything else was reversed. I'm definately not worried about losing some friendly bacteria in my mouth for its far worse to have enemy bacteria eating your teeth, gums and causing havoc. Besides, I've been drinking Kombucha 3 x daily which is supposed to supply loads of probiotics.

This turnaround in my mouth is truly amazing because I have struggled with this problem for 15 years and I was able to get it in a mild state, but never get rid of it. I am very happy to report my success with h2o2 and the awesome additional benefit of whitening my teeth without expensive whitening systems.

Colds and Flu

Hydrogen Peroxide kept me from getting the cold/flu I felt coming on. The first time I tried using Hydrogen Peroxide in my both of my ears was when I was visiting my sister in Illinois, about 5 years ago. I had just arrived from the 5 hour drive and could feel that I was getting a cold or flu. My sister suggested placing a few (6 to 7) drops of hydrogen peroxide in my ear, letting it fizz, then let it drain and repeat the process in the other ear. I went to bed that evening after using the hydrogen peroxide and woke up feeling great! I never did get that cold... I've repeated this process each time I felt as though I was coming down with the cold or flu. It has worked 90% of the time. The key is to catch it early! The longer you wait to use the hydrogen peroxide once you have the first symptoms, the less likely it will work. I've shared this with others, but most are hesitant to try it. I haven't had any bad experiences with this method.

For health I love soaking in a 1/2 cup of food grade hydrogen peroxide 35% in my big tub of water, I find it effective with lots of stuff to do with immunity since it's a detox for the body. I also read it has many other uses which are mentioned in this website some I see. some I didn't notice were:

as a soak for veggies to keep them fresh. (20 minutes then take out, or just leave in. I find a bunch of cut up salad mix stays nice and fresh within an ice cream bucket of water with 1/4 c. of 3% hydrogen peroxide in it.)

For replacing the acid mantle that soap removes when bathing, spray it at 3% after a bath or shower.(Vinigar also works well, but who wants to smell like that!)

It's a good mouth rinse when you have an infection or sore throat, or just feel a cold coming on.

It's the best thing for ear infections too. Pour it in when you're on your side until you can see it, and then wait until it stops bubbling and empty it out. then do the same on the other side. It's worked every time for everybody I know. (Including a woman who was told by a doctor that he was amazed that she hadn't needed tubes in her ears long before then because of the shape of her ear canal.)

When concerned about salmonella it is a great insurance rinse on meat or veggies, like I mentioned before.

It's used on all animals and in all animals, but just be careful to use very little when feeding it to human or animal. I made the mistake once of forgetting that fish injest their water and put 1/4 c. of 3% in a 1 gal. tank. It's supposed to be 1 drop of 35% per gal. of water I found out later.

It's great for plants as a foliar feed, 1 ozHP. to 1 qt. water) an insecticide (mix 8 oz. of molasses with 8 oz. HP, to 1 gal. of water and spray) seed germination aid (1-5 oz. HP. to 1 pint of water, soak for 8 hours)or a fruit tree rejuvinator. (8oz. of HP. to 1 gal of water.) Also as a bleach replacement use 8 oz. of 3% Lots more specifics to but over all it's great stuff!

A science teacher recommended this to me years ago and I've been doing it ever since. Hydrogen Peroxide is a great mouthwash. It kills the bacteria in your mouth which the cause of bad breath. Also brightens your teeth a bit. I take a swig of 3%, swirl it around my mouth for a min or so, spit it out and wallah, breath is fresh.
