Sterilizing Tap Water
Posted by Bamagirl (Alabama, US) on 10/31/2014
I have read that you should not use tap water in the neti pot due to potential parasites, etc. I normally use distilled, but have a trip coming up. If I use peroxide in the water, would it sterilize the tap water? I don't want to carry along a jug of distilled water or have to find a place to boil some. Thanx

★★★☆☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I am a smoker and have shortness of breath, I thought I would try bill munroe's hydrogen peroxide inhalation, I have been doing this for about a week or 10 days. I do believe my shortness of breath might be a "little" better but I am so tired I cannot hardly stay awake. I usually get 5-6 hrs sleep per night but now am getting 7-8 hr sleep @ night and have no energy at all. Is this from the hydrogen peroxide inhalation or do you think it would be something else? I am thinking of quitting the hydrogen peroxide, what does everyone think? Thanks.

No one can be sure I guess, but I actually got more energy from the inhalation therapy. One thought came to mind tho as a long time smoker myself.
It is not recommended to use the peroxide after any breathing treatment or cigarette. Causes chemical reaction. So try that. Make sure you have not smoked or done any breathing tx close to the time you do the Perox.
Good luck.
If you had a heavy fungal infection in your lungs (these are often very difficult to diagnose, especially histo and a few others. Not like other fungus at all! It took a very long time on high dose of antifungals to make improvement years back when I had it disseminate again. Despite not having Aids, but actually having an OVER active immune(autoimmune) I have gotten disseminated histo 2x in my life. I suspect I am not alone and many are never diagnosed properly. Blood test missed it on 3 out 4 tests. This is worse because most doctors do the wrong test for histo. I am nearly blind from the immune reactivity during and after histo subsides in some of us. That is very rare tho and I suspect many are walking around with low grade, undiagnosed fungal infections draining the life from us. I am lucky my test was positive and they now keep me on maintenance. DOES NOT STOP me from getting some fungal infections in my lungs tho and the peroxide DOES HELP!

Hello and thank you. Have read EC for many years and have enjoyed a lot of your posts. I wish you well in your current plan! I will definitely go watch the videos by Dr Shallenberger. Bummed he doesn't have a video on lung issues. Hoping he does right by you. Thank you! :)
Robert from Arnaudville,
Many people seem to get help from the

To help with detox, take lobelia dose once a day? Or more? Had a bad night and think will try adding this lobelia to help clear lungs/throat. Thanks!

Posted by Chris (Mo., US) on 09/30/2014
I just read your post concerning lobelia tincture, I assume this is for difficulty breathing, I think I will try this to see if it will help me with my shortness of breath, I tried jacks tea for about a week and it did not help me, the only thing I did different is I could not find mullein pods so I got some mullein leaves and boiled & strained the leaves, got leaves from a health food store. do you think the lobelia will help me or can you suggest anything else? I feel fine other than I really get winded just even walking across the room. thank you so much for any help you can suggest.

Hi RH, a while back you mentioned that you've been using a cool mist humidifier at night and that you add 1/2 cup of drugstore peroxide to the water and found that it helped you and your bride breathe through your nose all night.
I wondered if you use regular, old tap water or if you use distilled water?
Thanks!

I tried putting 1 oz of Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (fghp) in one gallon of filtered water in a cool vapor vaporizer --using for asthma and copd. I got these directions from the seller of the h202. The vapor ruined my comforter cover and pillow cases and a sheet, and pajama top--small to medium size holes! I hate to think what this might be doing to my lungs. I didn't notice the holes until I washed the linens and the holes appeared. It was obviously too potent.

Not quite answering the question but may I add a little note here. In checking out the purity of the H20 that I use, I needed to know if there were stabilizers in the ingredient list, I rang the manufacturing company and lied. Told them my daughter was doing a school project and needed to know if there were any added ingredient in the product, to be told "No absolutely not". I would worry more about the stabilizers added to the peroxide as opposed to the water quality. Peroxide should clean the water by itself.

Thank you, Robert Henry!
I'd been using tap water but wanted to double-check to verify that it was okay to use.
My humidifier came with instructions to clean the unit's base once a week with white vinegar, and to clean the water tank with 1T of bleach mixed with water, so I've been doing that all along.
Thanks, again!
P.S. Many of my family members and friends call me "Lizzie", too. :)

In my opinion...and I'm not a doctor, but if you are inhaling it correctly, and using a good nasal mist pump bottle, I cannot see where you wouldn't have an easier time breathing. I would imagine if you are severe...you may not be getting it deep enough into your lungs. I think you are on the right track. Most of the articles I have read on this...and I have read many, ...they say you sometimes will have a little discomfort as it may be stirring up all the toxins and bacteria and it takes time to expell it. I was on the drinking method for a month due to having problems with bacteria in my stomach a lot. My fifth day, I vomited nothing but bile and bacteria. That was suppose to happen and it meant it was working on me. Same thing I would imagine applies. You have very little space in your lungs and it may take time to clear your situation up. I wish you all the luck in the world. I have researched for over a month straight on all these h2o2 therapies and I have not found anyone who didn't have some type of success out of it. And trust me...I looked. I love this and I am so happy to have found this...I won't ever stop and I will be 54 next month. My son is 28 and he has major issues where he can't breathe thru his nose at night...and sometimes during the day. I am putting him with a humidifier at night in his room. Will update soon.

Posted by Linda (Wisconsin) on 02/04/2017
Was that 3% or 35% used in humidifier? it must have been 35%, which would be way too strong undiluted and could do that. On this site it clarifies ratios when using 3 % or 35% and even percentages in between. You can print them off or copy them. Good Luck and best wishes in future.

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation for lungs. Does anyone have suggestions about the taste? I did one inhalation with 4 pumps. I think I only inhaled the first pump (because of the taste I must of tensed up and the remaining pumps pooled up) and swallowed the last 3. I decided to wait to continue until the taste went away but it lasted on and off for about 3 days. Is it because I swallowed a small amount or is the taste normal? I'd like to use this method again as a preventative measure.

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for answering. I have not formulated my question clearly. It does look like I meant to ask if they can be mixed and inhaled. What I actually meant was if I can inhale just the h2o2 solution as Bill says and then, right after, if I can drink the acv.
Will that have the same effect as if I drank the h2o2 drops and then drank the acv? This is my question and I should have presented it better.

If spraying in the nose... Be sure to dilute down to a safe solution AND BE SURE to use ONLY distilled or BOILED water. This is important! But if, he is going to spray into the lungs 3% should be fine.

I was searching for some ideas regarding natural therapies to supplement allopathic treatment for pneumonia and came across your site. I was very surprised to see a recommendation for peroxide inhalation to treat pneumonia. Yikes! While I can appreciate an exchange of ideas and see your site has a disclaimer regarding medical advice, I'd just like to make a comment to site participants that I would strongly discourage inhaling peroxide. Just as it creates a "bubbling" effect on a wound, the same would most likely happen in an infected lung creating a dangerous compromise in lung function and make things worse. I am not a physician, but an RN with 28yrs experience and I hope no one does that without talking to their doctor.

haveing read lots about taking hydrogen peroxide. I tried the nasel spray method. and didn't think it very good, so I wundered if it could be taken like a steam inhailer so that it goes in the lungs like a vapour inhailer, via a tube with a cooler along the tube simalar to the gaget the arabs do there smoking.
i would be greatfull for your reply. yours truly brian c jeffs.

The nasal inhaler is suppose to be used in the mouth not up the nose. In Bill Munro's video he explains that using a nasal inhaler emits a fine spray so is easily inhaled via the mouth into the lungs. Hope that helps.

Sue, my understanding is that DMSO neutralizes hydrogen peroxide. I wouldn't mix them for that reason. Also, internal peroxide and DMSO by themselves are both very experimental. While I'm personally game for most anything if many people testify that it helped and did not apparently harm them, I wouldn't throw these remedies together willy nilly in a bottle and inhale them!

Greeting, I just started inhaling HP 3% food grade. I bought this from sunfoods at least two years ago. I am not doing it on a regular base and started 5 days ago.
My issue is right around when I started taking HP I started getting flu type symptoms, my little ones where sick so I thought it was from them. I'm not sure this is the case. I am congested, coughing so bad I start throwing up; throat and chest area is hurting when I cough. and now having joint pains. My coughs are very dry but at times flim comes up its just clear & white. I want to keep using the treatment. Is this normal, it can be pretty painful and hard to deal with at work. Is it possible the HP is bad? Also I'm a smoker and stupidly still smoking while doing treatment. I would appreciate your insights. Regards

Hello EC, Can anybody help please? I inhaled too much 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide using a facial sauna (I know someone who uses HP this way). This was 8 days ago & at first the top of my lungs started to feel like they were burning. I still have an ache (on & off) at the top of my right lung despite regular tap water steam facial saunas, exercise & drinking water to try to ease the effects. I had to visit the local hospital at first & I have an appointment soon with a chest specialist. I stopped the HP as soon as I realised something was wrong. Is there anything else I can do to calm things down & to limit any possible damage?
