Hello: I was waiting to answer on this subject because I wanted to try Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) on myself. Here is how it went: Last week Ginette got a terrible flu. She came back from work on Friday, 18th of april 2008, complaining about sore throat, general weakness, slightly blurred vision and all the other symptoms that go with it. She sprayed into her mouth H2O2 and took mega doses of vitamin C, but I think it was already too late. One week later she is almost OK except for some rather deep coughing.
When I saw her last Friday I immediately sprayed H2O2 several times in my throat and I continued for the following 2-3 days... I also took mega doses of vitamin C. Guess what ? No flu for me...
In the past, each time she had a flu like that, I would get it as well right after her (the mega dose of vitamine C couldn't prevent it), but not this time. I believe it was because I killed the virus with H2O2 by spraying it strait inside of my throat and lungs RIGHT ON TIME before it had time to spread into my lungs.
Despite of what some people may think, using H2O2 occasionally is not at all harmfull. The only thing that I felt is bacteria being fried right inside of my throat. No pain at all for me.
We brought a small spraying bottle with us to Cuba and used it by spraying it to kill bacteria in bathrooms, door knobs, ustencils in restaurants, remote control, drinking glasses, coffe cups, etc... I even sprayed a roaming cat that was coming to visit us. A few bugs fell down on floor immediately !!!
Have a nice day... with H2O2 ...
P.S. Here in Canada we can buy H2O2 at Dollarama... The price : A bottle of 450ml, containing 3% H2O2, for $0.99 cents, of course ! The big bottle as well as the spraying bottle must be kept away from exposure to light.

No bleach does not kill mold. it will only retard the growth for a while. It will start growing again. The only way to kill it is: Believe it or not, With a solution using Hydrogen Peroxide and another natural substance. I can't remember the name would have to look it up. It's the only thing that will actually kill it. I have suffered greatly the past year from mold exposure so I have done my research.

As I have not tried this treatment, I have been reviewing all the comments. When I read Jay's comment about the only negative outcome was a loss of smell and taste for several months, I felt compelled to respond. Years ago my grandfather got one of those horrible viruses and lost all sense of taste and smell for life-my mother for years! So, I would venture to say that the treatment just might have restored (rather than caused) your senses in a short period of time.

I was wondering what strength of H2O2 you use in your nebulizer... The regular 3% FG? I would also like to try the nebulizer... Please let me know what strength you use... Thanks in advance, Greg

In order to use Hydrogen Peroxide for the inhaler, it must be in a ratio of 10/1 - 10 parts filtered water to 1 part H2O2. I have been using it for a black varicose vein that was not normal. It took time but it is almost gone from my ankle. It also works on tiny varicose veins. A good side effect - softer skin!!

I've used Bill Munro's inhalation method using food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted down to 3 percent in purified water for a short time now. It seems to pick up my energy quite well.
Now I read Ted from Bangkok who states that the right mix is .5 per cent. And that 3 per cent is too much.
So who is right? Thanks, Art

You mentioned spraying H202 in your throat. did you spray it straight or diluted and then did you swallow it, or spit it out. It isn't specific.
EC: He's referring to Bill Munro's H202 inhalation technique detailed at the top of the page.

Are you using food grade or 3% store bought? Thanks.

Yesterday morning I awoke with the beginnings of the flu. My tell tale sign was that my neck ached like crazy right at the base of the skull and I was severely fatigued. My husband had been sick with the flu last week so I figured my turn had come. Well, I started inhaling my 3% peroxide h202 at 10:00am every 2 to 3 hours and by 5:00pm I was back to normal... no neck ache, no exhaustion, nothing. I am going to keep it up for a total of 3 days I think to make sure the virus has been eliminated, but this is the 5th time I have done this remedy for a virus bug and it has worked every time. It is a gem of a remedy. Thanks, Bill!

Hydrogen Peroxide 3%. It has worked for me in terms of breathing much, much better. Today marks one month of use at about 7 times per day with 5 pumps each time. I am extrmely thankful to God, Mr. Munros's testimony and this site for publishing it. I still produce mucous but much less and it does not seem to affect my lungs-I can breathe! At the start it did burn a little but not much and now it does not. Thanks.
EC: Thanks, Everett. Can you tell us what condition you are treating with H202 inhalation -- emphysema or asthma?

I had heard of ingesting H2O2 in the past when a co-worker was doing it. We noticed her skin looked reat and asked what she was using and she replied "drinking peroxide" everyone instantly came alert in shock and then she started to explain. I then did a little research but could never find specific directions on dosage. I ran across this page while researching another topic. I have never been diagnosed with asthma but have all the symptoms and have used the albuterol inhalers and the advair and the horrible disgusting P.M... From the local drugstore, that stuff should be banned! But when you can't breath and you have no insurance, doctor or rx you will take whatever you can get! I have also had pneamonia and hospitalized to have fluid drained from my left lung (2 liters, then they had to go in and scrape out the rest). I got a cold that turned bronchitis and then went down into my chest. I had to work so ignored it and even had to sleep sitting up because the pain was too bad if I tried to lay back. This was in 2003.
I wanted to reply to this post because of the mention of burning. I followed the directions above, checked to make sure my H2O2 was not standardized and poured into the nasal spray bottle. I was too scared at first but I used your turmeric to cure boils, MRSA, Staph with GREAT success so I trusted the info and how could so many people be wrong. I tried one mist and didn't inhale so it just went all in the back of my throat and made it feel scratchy, I went back re-read the instructions but was way too scared to pump it so many times! I did one mist while taking a big inhale, I held my breath for a sec, wasn't sure about that part so I did it like the inhaler instructs. I waited to see what was going to happen, still scared, I felt a burning in my chest, not bad but there and enough to keep me scared. I 'think' I also felt a bit of a rush and a kind of pressure behind my face, very subtle, still unsure. At any rate I figured it was just the stuff working but then I read another couple had inhaled the fumes from the bottle because they didn't have the sprayer, that didn't seem so scary to me so I did that by taking about 5 or 6 deep long breaths from the bottle. I felt. . . strange, something but nothing at the same time, again I had a little bit of burning and that scared feeling. See I was so afraid of it I may have exagerated the experience in my mind so please keep that in mind while reading this. I decided to double check the entire label one more time to be sure it didn't say standardized somewhere and sure enough it did! ! ! Well that really freaked me out so I looked up the MSDS sheet of that manufacturer by typing in MSDS Manufacturer Name H2O2 and it brought up the PDF file as the first result, I didn't read the entire sheet, just the first aid section on inhaling it and all it said was to move to fresh air and call poison control. Well I was in fresh air and felt ok so I just came back to the site to see if anyone described what it feels like when you do it?
Is there any pain, tingling, discomfort? No one has mentioned that except in this post. I also think more stress needs to be put on making sure it is NOT STANDARDIZED and possibly explain what and where to look to find out. I had no clue, I figured it would be on the front label but it was not. I did read the back label but evidently not carefully enough! I am scared to look at the chemicals used in mine. Now I have to wait until I can go pick up the right kind of H2O2 to try this remedy, I am hoping to reap multiple health benefits, Bills skin is AMAZING! Why hasn't anyone mentioned that? Also the co-worker mentioned she had always suffered with allergies. She said since she had been on the H2O2 she had not had one flare up! Thanks soooo much for this excellent resource!

There are two types of food grade H2O2, with and without stabilizers. Most staff don't know unless they contact their supplier. Pool source companies usually use H2O2 with stabilizers.

I've had allergies to certain foods and have had stuffy nose forever, even had deviated septum surgery, but didn't help. Is this hydrogen peroxide the type you buy at a store, and how or what do I mix to use for my sinusis, they are always stuffy. What is H202, is that over the counter hydrogen peroxide?

Hi Andi,
I have a Fungal Ball in my upper sinuses for 13 years. Had nasal surgery on my right nostril 30 years ago, and I think it opened up my nasal passage to this...Spit up mucus night and day...Neti Pot can't reach it, too far up and behind right eye...Sight very cloudy in that eye. Get little pains in various places in my head sometimes at night...Feels like it's even moving around...Have tried Everything.
Please tell me if you think the ClO2 Nebulized might help this, and the procedure for taking it...Thanks, and God bless you. Joy.

I have to ask exactly how do you use H202 in a nebulizer? I have been looking at these bottles of store bought and food grade H202, and am not sure what to do with them. Was told I have Cystic fibrosis, and am at the doorstep of mortality with it. Which means that CF patients have a life span of 37yrs/I am 38. NEED HELP NOW, PLEASE!

Had a sore throat and severe flu fatigue for several days. Tried the inhaler H202 method from your web site. 10 minutes after my first inhalation my energy came back. I did it once more and then went to bed. My sore throat disappeared over night and when I woke up the next morning, I was back to normal.

It is great that this worked for you. One word of caution though is that you should not drink the 3% stabilized H2O2 that you get at the drugstore. If you are going to drink it, you should get some food grade H202 (35%) and dilute it.

What strength of H202 are you using? And how do you have it diluted? Sounds like you are using far too strong of a solution.

Taking a little magnesium (or 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom Salts in water) will stop most restless leg syndrome within a few minutes. If not, take another dose.

Lung Issues
Posted by Densie (Hampton Bays, NY) on 09/07/2006
I have been a Respiratory Therapist for 13 years. The H2O2 may be benefiting those with poor lung function but those with normal lung function should be saturating in the high 90's anyway. Normal lung function and hemaglobin supply 98-99% of the capacity of the hemaglobins ability to carry oxygen. It can not carry more then 100%. I do believe the H2O2 has benefical properties (due to my own research). However, I don't believe it is do to the increased O2 to the body. It is probably more due to the antibacterial and antiviral properties of the H2O2 that produce these desired results.

Thanks so much for providing all of this invaluable info! I just started using the inhalation method of H202 (I put it in a pump atomizer instead of the nose spray container), as well as the cayenne pepper gargle for a sore throat. Both seem to be working well but I was wondering about adding some hydrogen peroxide to my neti-pot/ sinus-cleanse. Any thoughts on that and if so, what ratio of 3% H202 to water. Also, should the salt be omitted when using the H202? Thanks in advance for any info. Keep up the great remedies and healing work!

As far as getting dilutions right, 35% is 10 and a half times stronger than 3%, so you can add 10 and a half times more water to it and it will be now a 3% solution. So 10 and a half teaspoons of water mixed with one teaspoon of 35% HP makes it into 3% HP. If you want larger quantities, use cups instead, just stick to the 10 and a half parts, whatever the size, of water to 1 part of 35% HP. I think the maths is right..... Anyone ?

Posted by Zsaqwe (Brownsville, Texas) on 09/28/2010
I read somewhere exactly what you are saying. One drop of 35% food grade peroxide is equal to 10 and 1/2 drops 3%Hydrogen Peroxide form the pharmacy. So if you want to dilute the 35% to 3% you add 10 and 1/2 of water. One tsp of 35% food grade 10 and 1/2 tsp of distilled water makes a 3% food grade peroxide. For one cup of 35% food grade you will need 10 and 1/2 cups of distilled water... And so on.. I think you are right.

Posted by Maxine (Havana, Ar) on 11/03/2010
The simplest way to make a 3% is use, 1 cup 35% to 11 cups of distilled water. That is 1 part 35 percent to ll parts water in any measurement will make 3 percent it is a ratio. Just make sure the water and peroxide are measured in same size container.

One part 35% food grade H2o2 and 11 parts of distiled water will give you the 3% H2o2. I've been using it for months orally, inhaled in the ears, etc. I love it have not gotten the flu in months and am feeling more and more energetic, though energy levels have come back gradually.

I have been struggling to get over the flu for the past 6 weeks. I have had a recurring sore throat, but mainly I have been unusually exhausted! I tried everything on your flu page! Nothing helped: vitamin C, zinc, apple cider vinegar, garlic, oregano oil. Finally went to the doc and he prescribed antibiotics (sometimes helps with a virus). Did not do a thing! Anyway, came across Bill's recommendation to inhale peroxide. I have put peroxide in my ear for years (didn't help this time), but never inhaled it. Figured it couldn't hurt! Started to inhale the peroxide, per Bill's instructions and it's now been 36 hours. I am not yet back to 100% but feel so much better! I have tons of energy. When I feel a wave of fatigue hit (the virus trying to come back?), I take more peroxide and the tiredness goes away immediately. Interesting stuff!
