So i was on youtube searching chemical reactions and one video to another i came across peoepl drinking and talking about "Oxygen Therapy"

First off, anyone ever heard of this?
Anyone ever do this?
Anyone know if there is any actuall benefits?

Someone posted this on youtube....
By the way, drinking H2O2 is NOT UNHEALTHY IN ANY WAY!!! What I mean is first you must take FOOD GRADE H2O2 35%(she is using 3% along with TOXIC ADDATIVES AND STABALIZERS!) you take 3 drops with a dropper, dilute is with DISTILLED WATER ONLY!, and drink on an EMPTY STOMACH ONLY! 2-3 hrs between eating a light meal. you may drink spring water NON chlorinated ;) YOU WILL BE SUPER HEALTHY IF DONE 3 TIMES A DAY FOR LIFE!

This is a good legit topic and i think the general needed one
DISCUSS!

I sometimes gargle with the stuff, you know, just to get the Mullet taste outta my mouth.

Seriously though, I have heard good things but never really looked into it. Any guru's on the subject? Wheres Grunt, I bet he would know?

You use the 3% or food grade 35%? Someone also mentioned on youtube it DOES help keep gumns in good shape.

H202 is an oxidizer.
All its ever done for my gums is made them red and some what raw.

From Wikipedia, but I'm sure others can expand on it:
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colorless in a dilute solution, slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used for bleaching paper, but has also found use as a disinfectant, as an oxidizer, and in rocketry (particularly in high concentrations as high-test peroxide (HTP)) as a monopropellant, and in bipropellant systems. The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that the chemical is considered a highly reactive reactive oxygen species.


More from Wikipedia:
Hydrogen peroxide, either in pure or diluted form, can pose several risks:

Above roughly 70% concentrations, hydrogen peroxide can give off vapor that can detonate above 70 °C (158 °F) at normal atmospheric pressure. This can then cause a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) of the remaining liquid. Distillation of hydrogen peroxide at normal pressures is thus highly dangerous.

Hydrogen peroxide vapors can form sensitive contact explosives with hydrocarbons such as greases. Hazardous reactions ranging from ignition to explosion have been reported with alcohols, ketones, carboxylic acids (particularly acetic acid), amines and phosphorus. The saying is 'peroxides kill chemists'.

Hydrogen peroxide, if spilled on clothing (or other flammable materials), will preferentially evaporate water until the concentration reaches sufficient strength, then clothing will spontaneously ignite. Leather generally contains metal ions from the tanning process and will often catch fire almost immediately.

Concentrated hydrogen peroxide (>50%) is corrosive, and even domestic-strength solutions can cause irritation to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin.

Swallowing hydrogen peroxide solutions is particularly dangerous, as decomposition in the stomach releases large quantities of gas (10 times the volume of a 3% solution) leading to internal bleeding.

Inhaling over 10% can cause severe pulmonary irritation.

Low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, on the order of 3% or less, will chemically bleach many types of clothing it comes into contact with to a pinkish hue. Caution should be exercised when using common products that may contain hydrogen peroxide, such as facial cleaner or contact lens solution, which easily splatter upon other surfaces.

Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced as a byproduct of oxygen metabolism, and virtually all organisms possess enzymes known as peroxidases, which apparently harmlessly catalytically decomposes low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (see Decomposition above).

In one incident, several people were injured after a hydrogen peroxide spill on board Northwest Airlines Flight 957 because they mistook it for water.

During the Second World War some extermination camps experimented to kill people with hydrogen peroxide injections.

Hydrogen peroxide was also part of the ingredients in the July 21, 2005 London Underground bombs, which failed to explode.

While I endorse colloidal silver use, I cannot see the logic in drinking H2O2. If you want to infuse your body with more O2 and all of it's associated free radicals, just excercise.

I do gargle with H2O2 and I also use it in my ears to help kill off colds/flu, but drinking it seems totally unwise.

So, I've researched this a while ago and don't know what to make of it. There is H2O2 thereapy where they inject it into to you IV. The idea is that it is basically water with an extra oxygen molecule and once inside the body, that extra molecule cleaves itself off and goes searching for anaerobic organisms. From what I've read, everything harmful in the human body is anaerobic (eg: viruses, harmful bacteria, cancer, etc.) and once the oxygen molecule attaches to it, it dies and is removed. OK.

Now, what I don't understand is that oxygen is a free radical and we take anti-oxidants to fight the effects of them. Wouldn't this be the antithesis of taking anti-oxidants?

On the other hand, oxygenated blood is a good thing and boosts muscular endurance and from what I've read, when a cell mutates and becomes a cancer cell, it is believed that it is the cell's way of protecting itself in a hypoxic enviornment. I don't know how true or false that statement is but that is what certain people believe. SO maybe it is the difference between oxygenation and oxidation? Is that retarded? LOL. I'm sorry, I'm really tired and meant to start a thread about this months ago! Any info or insight you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated as I trust the majority of you all and respect most of your opinions.

Well form what I know, all anaerobes are not bad. We have close to 1000 species of bacteria living in and on us, many of which provide valuable services and many of those, particularly intestinal flora are indeed anaerobes.

I am all up for new therapies but this was gives me pause. I'll need to see more definitive studies showing it's safety before I would try it personally.

I DO heartily recommend peroxide in the ears at the onset of a cold..I'm not going to say it kills the cold entirely, but for me it took about 90% of the stuffy head symptoms away. You will have to repeat every few hours for best effect.

Hey Bio, there is also Ozone Therapy (O3). Same principle, though. Don't know how it works but I'm sure I read about the beneficial flora and fauna either being spared or replenished, somehow.

I have a hard time believing that. Even colloidal silver claims that but I know from experience if I drink a lot of it..I get the runs.

I'll have to read up on the H202 thing some more though. Free radical formation, if I recall, is a product of the immune response..so maybe that's the rationale to adding more.

colloidal silver is a scam, and frequent use of H2o2 as a mouth wash will cause the papillae of the tongue to obtain a hair-like appearance.

This has been addressed many times but in brief..YES there are a lot of dubious claims and shoddy manufacturers of CS, BUT there is enough reasonable scientific data that shows CS to destroy numerous types of bacteria and to also be harmless if used properly.

The people that turned blue were using or making an improper solution that was likely silver salts instead of pure CS. Silver salts deposit in skin/fat while pure colloid is completely excreted by the body within 24 hours of injestion.

The problem lies more in lack of quality control in the manufactering sector than in CS itself.

It does kill bacteria and is particularly useful for topical applications like staph or fungal infections.

So does oil of oregano, without the problems of ingesting silver. Where is the reasonable scientific data showing otherwise? RECENT.

Dig it up yourself, I'm not your secretary. You'll rely on statements made by the FDA to support your opinion of CS, however the FDA doesn't have much to say about oil of oregano either. Hmmm.

As for problems with ingesting silver..there are dozens of people on this board alone who use it. Find one that's had a "problem". Aside from a few highly inaccurate and sensationalized reports of problems with silver..and always because of silver salt contamination, I think you'll find very few issues. Millions of gallons are ingested every year worldwide, there's not a population of blue people walking around or endless reports of sickness due to it's use.

Silver is showing up more and more in water purification systems and anti-bacterial preparations. Probably because it doesn't work at all and is a scam..right?

Well I tried looking for research, but all I found was either a bunch of anecdotal evidence, or evidence casting doubt on its efficacy/safety. The FDA has nothing NEGATIVE to say about oil of oregano, much unlike colloidal silver.

OK, so I am reading more on this H202 thing and may begin experimenting with it in a cautious, incrementally controlled way. I will report any outstanding findings.

After reading hundreds upon hundreds of anecdotal reports on peroxide ingestion...it seems safe enough though I am still on the fence about this one.

Dude, don't intentionally drink high volumes of an oxidizer like H2O2. It will damage the gut on it's way into the system and any that actually gets in will cause instant hemolysis. You need a more 'finesse' oxidant than peroxide if you wanna try this tactic, it's just too reactive bro. I have spilled the 30 and 50% stuff on living tissue before and can tell you, it's a bad, indiscriminate oxidant.

I'm just playing around with 3% stuff that has no stabilizers.

Thanks for the concern D. I am moving forward very carefully on this stuff. If ingested, the total concentration would be under 1%. For inhalation, 0.5%. I have a minor in Chem and am aware of the potential dangers of this potent oxidizer.

So far, I have used it at 3% in my ears to ward off a cold. Kinda worked..I have to admit. Did NOT kill the cold off entirely, but it did alleviate most of the symptoms..all the head stuffiness went away almost instantly. This had to be done repeatedly to keep the symptoms at bay but worked better than most OTC cold relief drugs I have used.

2 drops an ear or what?

I always look for quick fixes and hate to tae OTC stuff, i often dont even take aspirin or anything. I have taken Motrin a few times but only casue the headache was insaneand also with Aspire36 but cause i had no Advil.

Just a few drops yes. It's best to lie down because this is going to cause dizziness. Wait a few minutes, get up and drain the ear then do the other one. It works particularly well if your head, ears, sinuses are all stuffed up..opens them immediately.

I rinse and brush with peroxide. I have not spit out blood in 10 years. My doctor even made a comment on how healthy my gums were. Gum disease is caused by bacteria. Peroxide kills bacteria, fungus and viruses. 10,000 medical papers written on peroxide and it is dubbed "The Spark of Life". Of course with pharmaceutical companies making billions (possibly trillions) you will never hear of the benefits of peroxide.

Tried a few peroxide remedies for a cold I just had. Inhalation of dilute (0.5%) peroxide and distilled water solution really did help with the symptoms and brought about productive expectoration very rapidly. It was a nasty chest cold that was knocked out in just a few days...either by chance or because of the solution.

Have some "oxygen therapy" books on order and will review them shortly. Perusing calcium therapies at the moment which are indirectly linked it appears.

Update: Week 3 of oral peroxide therapy.

Observations.

Slowly upping the amount of peroxide consumed per day and could definitely feel a distinct detox reaction happening (Jaresch-Herxhiemer Reaction). Mild nausea, fatigue, aches, sore throat and generalized blah feeling that I have experienced on other detox's.

Most of that has passed and I feel pretty good at the moment.

Also taking 3 grams of coral calcium per day to aid in the detox, alkalization and oxygenation process as described by alternative med practitioners.

Most notable has been a distinct change in stool consistency. Much firmer and better formed than in the past where they were previously watery with much more flatulence. Digestion in general seems much improved. Very little flatulence. This would seem to correlate with claims that the therapy kills off bad bacteria, fungi and viruses. As Poliquin points out, people tend to eat the same foods over and over and build up a resevoir of bacteria and parasites that feed off these items. I definitely eat the same items far too often.


Skin tone also appears to be improving.

Sleep has improved for the most part..mainly due to the calcium IMO.

No real change in athletic performance noted.

Will update in a month or so.

We've ignored this for a century..

The problem with H2O2 ingestion and infusion is its safety, effectiveness and low cost is unparalleled when used properly.

This would cripple Pharmaceutical drug companies as it would replace expensive and ineffective petrochemical drugs.

H2O2 is unpatentable. And works. Those are the down sides.
But, as with everything, dosage is very important..

Oxygen can be overdone, but is mostly underdone.
There's much less in the air than there was 100 years ago.
The industrial revolution just about halved our supply..

Oxygen as O2 is very stable.. As O, O3, and H2O2 it is highly reactive, and thus easily absorbed by the skin and stomach lining.

Lungs split and absorb O2 for you, however they can be by-passed and oxygen can be given intravenously, Even as a gas. Nitrogen causes bubbles in blood, oxygen dissolves.

Oxygen is corrosive. It is used by our bodies to remove dead cells, abnormal cells and pathogens. metabolism depends on Oxygen, as our body burns to support the reaction that is its life.

I drink peroxide everyday (60 drops of 12% in water three times daily {start with 3 drops and build up daily by 3 drop increments to 60 drops}) and would gladly take it intravenously if the facilities were in place. It is not just a cure for cancers and infections, it is a prevention (cancer is just a collection of malformed cells that self-perpetuate, we all have a little of it, but we only call it cancer when it builds up to a significant size).
Oxygen eats cancer. It turns polymers (organic stuff) into CO2 and H2O, starting with the terminally damaged cells, working its way up. Pathogens exposed to oxygen turn into CO2 and H2O, and thus lose their form and identity, leaving no trace to replicate themselves from.

Keep you body clean. stretching before and after exercise stops lactic acid build up by oxygenating deep tissue. lactic acid is half burnt sugar caused by anaerobic metabolism (what you body does when it doesn't have oxygen to metabolize with).

Please read attached,
Myles.




The Many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide

By Dr. David G. Williams
[link to educate-yourself.org]
Posted July 17, 2003

(Original title: Hydrogen Peroxide - Curse or Cure?)

When it comes to hydrogen peroxide therapy there seems to be only two points of view. Supporters consider it one of the greatest healing miracles of all time. Those opposed feel its ingestion is exceptionally dangerous, and only the foolhardy could think of engaging in such behavior. Before either condemning or endorsing hydrogen peroxide, let's take a real close look at what we're dealing with.

If any substance is interesting, it's hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide should really be called hydrogen dioxide. Its chemical formula is H2O2. It contains one more atom of oxygen that does water (H20). By now everyone's aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen (03). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (02) into two single, unstable oxygen atoms. These single molecules combine with others to form ozone (03). Ozone isn't very stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H202). (Bear with me: all this chemistry mumbo jumbo I'm going through actually will help you understand the importance of hydrogen peroxide.)

Helps Plants
It is this hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H202 react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground. To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 ounces of 35% mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre). You can achieve the same beneficial effect with your house plants by adding 1 ounce of 3% hydrogen peroxide (or 16 drops of 35% solution) to every quart of water you give your plants. (It can also be made into an excellent safe insecticide. Simply spray your plants with 8 ounces of 3% peroxide mixed with 8 ounces of white sugar and one gallon of water.)

Hydrogen peroxide is odorless and colorless, but not tasteless. When stored under the proper conditions, it is a very stable compound. When kept in the absence of light and contaminants, it dismutates (breaks down) very slowly at the rate of about 10% a year. (This can be slowed even further by storing the liquid in the freezer.) It boils at 152 degrees C and freezes at minus 2 degrees C.

When exposed to other compounds hydrogen peroxide dismutates readily. The extra oxygen atom is released leaving H20 (water). In nature oxygen (02) consists of two atoms--a very stable combination. A single atom of oxygen, however, is very reactive and is referred to as a free radical. Over the past several years, we've continually read that these free radicals are responsible for all types of ailments and even premature aging. What many writers seem to forget, however, is that our bodies create and use free radicals to destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In fact, the cells responsible for fighting infection and foreign invaders in the body (your white blood cells) make hydrogen peroxide and use it to oxidize any offending culprits. The intense bubbling you see when hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a bacteria-laden cut or wound is the oxygen being released and bacteria being destroyed. The ability of our cells to produce hydrogen peroxide is essential for life. H202 is not some undesirable by-product or toxin, but instead a basic requirement for good health.

Newer research indicates we need hydrogen peroxide for a multitude of other chemical reactions that take place throughout the body. For example, we now know that vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide, which in turn stimulates the production of prostaglandins. Also lactobacillus found in the colon and vagina produce hydrogen peroxide. This destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections and a host of other common ailments. (Infect Dis News Aug.8,91:5). When lactobacillus in the colon or vaginal tract have been overrun with harmful viruses, yeast, or bacteria, an effective douche or enema solution can be made using 3 tablespoons of 3% H202 in 1 quart of distilled water. Keep in mind, however, that a good bacterial flora must always be re-established in theses areas to achieve lasting results.

Aerobic versus Anerobic
While we are discussing enemas and douches, there is another misconception about H202 I need to address. The friendly bacteria in the colon and vagina are aerobic. In other words, they flourish in high oxygen environments and thrive in the presence of oxygen rich H202. On the other hand, most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or H202. We can agree that hydrogen peroxide produced within individual body cells is essential for life. And no one doubts its effectiveness when it comes to treating infections topically. The controversy deals with ingesting the substance orally or introducing it into the body intravenously. The dispute has been going on for decades, and considering the attitude of our medical community, it will continue for many more decades to come.

I'll admit I was skeptical when I first learned about using H202 orally or intravenously. This healthy dose of skepticism, however, lead to a great deal of investigation, clinical work and experimentation. And while I realize a large majority of readers will probably never be convinced that H202 is a safe and effective compound, I am. Hydrogen peroxide is safe, readily available and dirt cheap. And best of all, it works! No one yet fully understands the complete workings of hydrogen peroxide. We do know that it is loaded with oxygen. (A pint of the food-grade 35% solution contains the equivalent of 130 pints of oxygen. A pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide found at the local drugstore contains 10 pints of oxygen. And a pint of the 6% solution used to bleach hair contains 20 pints of oxygen.) We also know that when H202 is taken into the body (orally or intravenously) the oxygen content of the blood and body tissues increases dramatically. Early researchers felt these increases were simply due to the extra oxygen molecule being released. This doesn't however, appear to be the case.

Only very diluted amounts of H202 are ever introduced into the body. The small amount of oxygen present couldn't be solely responsible for the dramatic changes that take place. Dr. Charles Farr, a strong proponent of intravenous use, has discovered another possible answer. Dr. Farr has shown that hydrogen peroxide stimulates enzyme systems throughout the body. This triggers an increase in the metabolic rate, causes small arteries to dilate and increase blood flow, enhances the body's distribution and consumption of oxygen and raises body temperature (Proceedings of the International Conference on Bio-Oxidative Medicine 1989, 1990, 1991).

Father Richard Willhelm
We are just beginning to learn exactly how H202 works. It was reported to work as far back as 1920. The English medical journal, Lancet, then reported that intravenous infusion was used successfully to treat pneumonia in the epidemic following World War I. In the 1940's Father Richard Willhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide use, reported on the compound being used extensively to treat everything from bacterial-related mental illness to skin disease and polio. Father Willhelm is the founder of "Educational Concern for Hydrogen Peroxide" (ECHO, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on the safe use and therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide.) Much of the interest in hydrogen peroxide waned in the 1940's when prescription medications came on the scene. Since that time there has been little economic interest in funding peroxide research. After all, it is dirt cheap and non-patentable. Even still, in the last 25 years, over 7,700 articles relating to hydrogen peroxide have been written in the standard medical journals. Thousands more, involving its therapeutic use, have appeared in alternative health publications. The number of conditions helped by hydrogen peroxide is astounding. The reported dangers and side effects are few and often conflicting.

Emphysema
Let's look at several conditions that seem to respond especially well to H202 therapy. First, keep in mind that there are two methods of administering the peroxide-1) orally and 2) intravenously. While most conditions respond remarkably to oral ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a godsend. Emphysema involves destruction of the alveoli (the small air sacs in the lungs). Although chemical fumes and other irritants can cause the destruction, it is most often the result of smoking. As the disease progresses, the patient finds it more and more difficult to breathe. A wheel chair and supplemental oxygen become necessary as the disease progresses. Lack of adequate oxygen reaching the tissues forces the heart to pump more forcefully. This leads to high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart itself and eventually heart failure. Conventional medicine offers little help for emphysema. There is no cure. The best that can be hoped for is symptomatic relief and the prevention of any serious complications that might result in death. H202 therapy can offer more. Using 1 ounce of 35% peroxide per 1 gallon of non-chlorinated water in a vaporizer improves nighttime breathing tremendously. But intravenous infusion holds the real key to relief. It has the ability to cleanse the inner lining of the lungs and restore the ability to breathe.

We continue to hear the same story from Dr. Farr and others who use intravenous infusion for emphysema and congestive lung problems. Within minutes oxygen from hydrogen peroxide begins to bubble up between the membrane lining the lungs sacs and the accumulated mucus. (Dr. Farr refers to this as the "Alka-Seltzer effect.") The patient begins to cough and expel the material that has accumulated in the lungs. The amount of bubbling, coughing, and cleansing can be regulated by simply turning the H202 on and off. As the peroxide clears the lung surface and destroys the bacterial infections, the patient regains the ability to breath more normally. We continue to receive reports from patients for whom the technique has improved breathing so much that a wheelchair and supplemental oxygen are no longer needed. If you would like to find a doctor in your area trained in the use of intravenous H202 infusion, contact the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM), P.O. Box 13205, Oklahoma City, OK 73113 at (405) 478-4266. They can provide names and addresses of doctors using the procedure in your area.

If emphysema were the only ailment successfully treated with H202 therapy, it would still rank as one of the top health discoveries of all time. Fortunately, H202 works wonders on a multitude of health problems. It does so by increasing tissue oxygen levels. A closer look at how we have decreased the availability of external and internal oxygen, will show you just how important this can be. If you were not too occupied with trying to hide dissection specimens in the other student's desks, you might remember from elementary science courses that our atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen. That is under ideal circumstances. It has recently been reported that in many of our more polluted cities, there levels have dropped to around 10%! (I have already mentioned how less hydrogen peroxide-containing rain is reaching the earth's surface. With increased pollution it is reacting with airborne toxins before it even reaches the ground.) And everyone, by now, knows the oxygen-generating rain forests are being destroyed worldwide, which further reduces available oxygen. Internal oxygen availability is also under attack.

Chlorination of drinking water removes oxygen. Cooking and over-processing of our foods lowers their oxygen content. Unrestrained antibiotic use destroys beneficial oxygen-creating bacteria in the intestinal tract. Dr. Johanna Budwig of Germany has shown that for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. Unfortunately, the oils rich in these fatty acids have become less and less popular with the food industry. Their very nature makes them more biologically active, which requires more careful processing and gives them a shorter shelf-life. Rather than deal with these challenges, the food industry has turned to the use of synthetic fats and dangerous processes like hydrogenation.

It's obvious that our oxygen needs are not being met. Several of the most common ailments now affecting our population are directly related to oxygen starvation. Asthma, emphysema, and lung disease are on the rise, especially in the polluted metropolitan areas. Cases of constipation, diarrhea, intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are all on the upswing. Periodontal disease is endemic in the adult population of this country. Cancer of all forms continues to increase. Immune system disorders are sweeping the globe. Chronic fatigue, "Yuppie Flu" and hundreds of other strange viral diseases have begun to surface. Ironically, many of the new "miracle" drugs and nutritional supplements used to treat these conditions work by increasing cellular oxygen (oftentimes through H202 formation). For example, the miracle nutrient, Coenzyme Q10, helps regulate intercellular oxidation. Organic germanium, which received considerable publicity not too long ago, also increases oxygen levels at the cellular level. And even substances like niacin and vitamin E promote tissue oxidation through their dilation of blood vessels.

Hydrogen peroxide is only one of the many components that help regulate the amount of oxygen getting to your cells. Its presence is vital for many other functions as well. It is required for the production of thyroid hormone and sexual hormones. (Mol Cell Endocrinol 86;46(2): 149-154) (Steroids 82;40(5):5690579). It stimulates the production of interferon (J Immunol 85;134(4):24492455). It dilates blood vessels in the heart and brain (Am J Physiol 86;250 (5 pt 2): H815-821 and (2 pt 2):H157-162). It improves glucose utilization in diabetics (Proceedings of the IBOM Conference 1989, 1990, 1991). The closer you look at hydrogen peroxide, the less surprising it becomes that it can help such a wide variety of conditions.

The following is only a partial listing of conditions in which H202 therapy has been used successfully. (Many of these conditions are serious, if not life-threatening. As always, I would highly recommend seeking the advice and guidance of a doctor experienced in the use of these techniques.)

Grades of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is available in various strengths and grades.

A) 3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore or supermarket. This product is not recommended for internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn't be ingested. Various stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium phosphate.

B) 6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is not recommended for internal use.

C) 30% Reagent Grade: This is used for various scientific experimentation and also contains stabilizers. It is also not for internal use.

D) 30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and not for internal use.

E) 35% Technical Grade: This is a more concentrated product than the Reagent Grade and differs slightly in that phosphorus is added to help neutralize any chlorine from the water used to dilute it.

F) 35% Food Grade: This is used in the production of foods like cheese, eggs, and whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil lining of aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE. It is available in pints, quarts, gallons or even drums. Various suppliers are mentioned later in this article.

G) 90%: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel.

Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. At this concentration, however, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can cause neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There have been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40% concentrations of H202. Recently, a 26 month old female swallowed one mouthful of 35% H202. She immediately began vomiting, followed by fainting and respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under emergency room care and although she experienced erosion and bleeding of the stomach and esophagus, she survived the incident. When she was re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).

35% Food Grade H202 must be

1) handled carefully (direct contact will burn the skin--immediate flushing with water is recommended).

2) diluted properly before use. 3) stored safely and properly (after making a dilution the remainder should be stored tightly sealed in the freezer).

One of the most convenient methods of dispensing 35% H202 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at your local drugstore. Fill this with the 35% H202 and store the larger container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until more is needed. Store the eye dropper bottle in the refrigerator. The generally recommended dosage is outlined in the chart below. The drops are mixed with either 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water, juice, milk or even aloe vera juice or gel. (Don't use chlorinated tap water to dilute the peroxide!)

Suggested Protocol
The program outlined is only a suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and reports from thousands of users. Those who choose to go at a slower pace can expect to progress more slowly, but that certainly is an option. The program is not carved in stone and keep in mind that it can be adapted to fit individual needs. Individuals who have had transplants should not undertake an H202 program. H202 stimulates the immune system and could possibly cause a rejection of the organ.

Day # -Number of Drops/ Times Per Day
1 - 3 3
2 - 4 3
3 - 5 3
4 - 6 3
5 - 7 3
6 - 8 3
7 - 9 3
8 - 10 3
9 - 12 3
10 - 14 3
11 - 16 3
12 - 18 3
13 - 20 3
14 - 22 3
15 - 24 3
16 - 25 3

Maintenance Dosage
In most situations after the above 21 day program, the amount of H202 can be tapered off gradually as follows:
25 drops once every other day for 1 week
25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks
25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks

This can then be reduced to between 5 and 15 drops per week based on how one feels. Those with more serious problems will often benefit from staying on 25 drops three times a day for one to three weeks, then tapering down to 25 drops two times daily until the problem is resolved (possibly as long as six months). Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2 drops three times a day before starting the above schedule. It is important that H202 be taken on an empty stomach. This is best accomplished by taking it either one hour before meals or three hours after meals. If there is food in the stomach, the reaction of H202 on any bacteria present may cause excess foaming, indigestion, and possibly even vomiting. Additionally, some animal research indicates that when H202 given orally combines with iron and small amounts of vitamin C in the stomach, hydroxyl radicals are created (J Inorg Biochem 89;35(1):55-69). The bleach-like aftertaste of H202 can be lessened by chewing one of the sugar-free cinnamon gums. Some individuals taking H202 immediately before bedtime have a difficult time getting to sleep. This is probably due to a sense of alertness triggered by an increase of oxygen at the cellular level. The oral dosage schedule is basically the same for all conditions. There are several points to keep in mind, however.

Some individuals may experience upset stomach. If this occurs it is recommended that one not stop the program, but rather remain at the current dosage level or reduce it to the previous level until the problem stops. (Some patients have been able to solve the nausea problem by taking three or four lecithin capsules at the same time they take the H202.) During the program it's not uncommon to experience what is known as a healing crisis. As dead bacteria and toxins are released from your body it may temporarily exceed your capacity to eliminate them quickly enough. In some individuals this overload may cause fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, skin eruptions, cold or flu-like symptoms, and/or nausea. One should not discontinue using the peroxide to stop this cleansing. By continuing the program, toxins will clear the body sooner and this healing crisis will pass rather quickly.

If you are not already taking vitamin E and an acidophilus product, I recommend starting them before going on H202. Vitamin E can make more efficient use of any oxygen available and acidophilus will help re-establish the beneficial bacterial flora in the lower bowel and also help in the internal production of hydrogen peroxide.


Making and Using 3% Solutions of H202
A 3.5% solution can be made quite easily by first pouring 1 ounce of 35% H202 into a pint jar. To this add 11 ounces of distilled water. This will make 12 ounces of 3.5% H202. 3.5% H202 has a variety of medicinal uses.

1. Three tablespoons mixed with a quart of non-chlorinated water makes a good enema or douche formula.
2. It can be used full strength as a mouthwash or mixed with baking soda for toothpaste.
3. It can be used full strength as a foot bath for athlete's foot. (Diabetics have found relief from circulation problems by soaking their feet in 1 pint of 3% peroxide mixed with 1 gallon of warm, non-chlorinated water for 30 minutes nightly.)
4. A tablespoon added to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water can be used as a nasal spray. Depending on the degree of sinus involvement, one will have to adjust the amount of peroxide used. I have seen some who can use it at the full 3% strength and others who had difficulty with using a few drops and mixed with a cup of water.
5. 3.5% H202 can be added to pets drinking water at the rate of 1 ounce per quart of non-chlorinated water. Sick cattle reportedly benefit from 1 pint (of 3%) to each 5 gallons of water. (Chickens and cows have remained healthy by using 8 ounces of 35% H202 per 1,000 gallons of drinking water.)

Additional Information
There are two sources you should contact if you have an interest in using hydrogen peroxide therapy. The first, ECHO, was founded by Father Richard Willhelm and is run by Walter Grotz. Their information packet includes a sample newsletter, a list of H202 distributors and several other items. The packet is being made available to interested ALTERNATIVES readers for only $3. Their address is

ECHO Box 126
Delano, MN 55328

If you have an interest in contacting doctors who provide intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy you can write to the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM) at the address listed earlier in this article. You should also be aware that there are now numerous hydrogen peroxide products on the market. Some are simply peroxide that has been flavored and mixed with sea minerals, aloe vera, inner tree bark or other ingredients to make the peroxide more palatable (Superoxy, Oxy Toddy, etc.).

Others claim to have developed products that deliver more oxygen than does simple hydrogen peroxide (Aerox, Anti-Oxid-10, Di-Oxychloride, Aerobic 07, Aqua Pure, etc.). Basically you'll end up paying a small fortune and at best achieving the same results you can get for pennies by using hydrogen peroxide.

Conclusion
Hydrogen peroxide is one of the few simple miracle substances still available to the public. Its safety and multiple uses ranks it right up there with DMSO. If you've never used either of these compounds you are overlooking two of the most powerful healing tools ever discovered. Most of us started on hydrogen peroxide shortly after birth. Not only does mother's milk contain high amounts of H202, the amount contained in the first milk (colostrum) is even higher. This seems only reasonable now that we know one of its main functions is to activate and stimulate the immune system. Although I am a strong supporter of H202 therapy, I am not suggesting that everyone needs to be using it. There are probably some individuals whose health and well-being would not be enhanced with hydrogen peroxide. But there are also millions of others who are suffering needlessly because they either do not know about hydrogen peroxide or they have been misinformed about its use.

Well there ya go.

Yes, I have researched the topic pretty thoroughly but as far as recommending anything yet..I like to try stuff myself before doing that. I'm going to give this a solid 2 month run and see what the real benefits/negatives are.

So far, aside from the initial detox reaction the main negative has been the stuff tastes like shiiiiit. I literally shiver involuntarily before downing a dose.

Currently at 16 drops 2x per day. Taking it slow on raising the dose because I don't want another sudden detox and I have no major health complaints or diseases that I am aware of so there's no rush. I will have bloodwork done in about 2-3 weeks.

Hey Bio. What, specifically, are you going to look for in the BW?

cont.. again

phenacetin is a carcinogenic analgesic. it's is used as a stabilizer for peroxide (0.05% phenacetin to 3% h2o2 though, so relatively harmless)

so as to stop rapid decomposition.
The peroxide I drink has phenacetin in, I have just found.
The amount is really very little so I am undeterred, and food grade just isn't available in South Africa at the mo.

Most peroxides have stabilizers, and won't say it on the bottle.. so look out. the grade I have is BP grade, which is still very high quality.

The difference between a posion, a drug and a medicine is the dosage and context

Dude, don't intentionally drink high volumes of an oxidizer like H2O2. It will damage the gut on it's way into the system and any that actually gets in will cause instant hemolysis. You need a more 'finesse' oxidant than peroxide if you wanna try this tactic, it's just too reactive bro. I have spilled the 30 and 50% stuff on living tissue before and can tell you, it's a bad, indiscriminate oxidant.

destructive? Yes. Indiscriminant? No.
When your body gets Oxygen, it knows what to do with it.
None of the cells in your body are perfect. So, the process of elimination, pathogens and dead and damaged cells first, is on going.
H2O2 infusions will accelerate this process. All you need is a marginal boost to make a big difference.

If you used 3% on the tissue, you would notice the order to the destruction. Yes, drinking a glass of 50% h2o2 will burn, and probably kill you. so will eating 500 oranges at once.

Thanks for the warning though, h2o2 should be respected. It's greatest help to us is the efficiency with which it can kill us (slowly). It removes the old, and makes way for the new. Ie. removes dead lung cells in emphysema, tumors in cancer, etc. and makes room for normal cells.

The major upside is it leaves no byproducts that we can't pee, sweat, or breathe out.

It burns clean. Absolutely right about not overdoing it though, I'd hate to see harm come out of something so potentially useful.

Thanks Dr. D

Thanks for the support Bio,
The real pity is it's limited to internet posts..
Any ideas on how to get this stuff on the news?

Conquer the planet and bend it to our will?

The main reason to slowly and deliberately ramp up on dosing is that it gives your body, specifically your liver, time to adjust and produce the amount of catalase necessary to deal with the amount of H202 that you are injesting. If you go beyond your body's ability to deal with the H202 you are opening the door to excessive oxidation reactions and you may even feel it burning.

"Hey Bio. What, specifically, are you going to look for in the BW?"

I'm going to a cardiologist in a few weeks so on top of the usual liver/kidney panels I'm sure we will have all the main cardio panels done as well.

If there is excess toxicity or oxidation, it may show up as liver stress or high amounts of oxidize lipids but I am hoping all the panels will look good. Cholesterol last time was high at 213 with a poor HDL/LDL ratio.

This time I am hoping it will be significantly improved but we will see.

Another observation thus far is that my sinuses are open far more often than usual. Have been expectorating some crud and lungs feel clearer and more open.

The main thing I am looking for from this therapy is more energy and stamina. I feel I could use quite a bit more. Many users report that after 2 months of H202 therapy their energy levels were greatly improved on top of the resolution of their particular illness.
