What is H₂O₂ therapy ?

H₂O₂  therapy is a powerful bioxidative therapy where hydrogen peroxide  is introduced into the body of humans or pets

Exception: it can not be used by those who have had an organ transplant - the reason for this is that H₂O₂ therapy boosts immune system function, which could cause it to reject a transplant organ;

How does H₂O₂  therapy work ?  For details on some of the complex cellular oxidative processes brought about by H₂O₂:

Bio-oxidative Therapy-Oxidative / Oxygenating

H₂O₂ can diffuse deeply into cells, which is  not true of all bio-oxidative therapies  - the reason is that it has a neutral charge.

Whether naturally present in the body or introduced as a therapy,  H₂O₂ performs many health-beneficial functions:

• H₂O₂ can produce strongly reactive oxidants having the oxidative ability to eliminate toxins and microbial infection -even though it is not an especially reactive molecule itself;
• H₂O₂ significantly increases oxygen levels in the blood -which increases cellular energy production
• H₂O₂ improves immune system function

H₂O₂ in Nature

• H₂O₂ is found in rain and snow.
• H₂O₂ content is naturally high in famous healing spring waters - at Lourdes in France, Fatima in Portugal, and St. Anne's in Quebec
• H₂O₂ is in fresh fruit and vegetables (some coming from rain, some manufactured from sun and water during photosynthesis). Eating raw fruits and vegetables ensures that we get H₂O₂ into our bodies, along with valuable enzymes;

Functions of H₂O₂ in the body

All higher life-forms purposefully form H₂O₂ in the body - peroxisomes in the cell do this by combining water with oxygen. H₂O₂ has many functions:

• H₂O₂ is instrumental in immune system function:
  • H₂O₂ is released by immune system T-cells.  To destroy invading bacteria, viruses and fungi.
  • H₂O₂ generated by activated phagocytes at inflammation sites.   Appears to modulate the inflammatory process (e.g. by up-regulating expression of adhesion molecules, controlling cell proliferation or apoptosis {cell death without releasing harmful substances} and modulating platelet aggregation).
  • H₂O₂ stimulates the production of interferon
• H₂O₂ is produced by vitamin C - helping fight infections by stimulating prostaglandin production.
• H₂O₂ significantly increases oxygen levels in the blood - increasing cellular energy production
• H₂O₂ is released by blood platelets on encountering particulates in blood.
• Mother's milk contains a good amount of H₂O₂, and a mother's first milk (colostrum) contains even more - which provides a defense against infection until the baby's own immune system develops and is able to produce its own H₂O₂.
• H₂O₂ is produced by lactobacillus found in the colon and vagina - to destroy harmful candida, bacteria and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections and a host of other common ailments.
• H₂O₂ is required for the production of thyroid hormone and sexual hormones.
• H₂O₂ is used as an inter- and intra-cellular signaling molecule.
• H₂O₂ clears out artery plaque and dilates blood vessels in the heart and brain.
• H₂O₂ regulates thermogenesis (heat production) - may be as vital as thyroid function.
• H₂O₂ aids membrane transport.
• H₂O₂ is able to easily cross the cell membrane - because of its neutral charge.

Health benefits of H₂O₂ therapy

H₂O₂ therapy has been successfully used against many health problems and diseases of people, animals and pets - for an idea of its many uses in the health of people, animals and plants:

H₂O₂ human health uses

The following is a partial listing of conditions benefited by H₂O₂ (supported by scientific literature and physicians):

* Candida:In the colon, acidophilus lactobacillus produces H₂O₂ which keeps the ever-present candida yeast from multiplying out of control. When candida spreads out of the intestine, it escapes the natural control system and can establish itself in the body's organs, causing chronic fatigue syndrome and allergic hypersensitivity.

H₂O₂ animal health uses

Animals - 1 ounce 3% H₂O₂ per quart of animal's non-chlorinated drinking water is not enough to taste unpleasant, yet knocks out a growing list of illnesses. Cats are cured of feline leukemia and chlamydia, and return to their old energetic selves. Distemper in dogs has been reversed with H₂O₂, and a growing number of farmers are applying it to their livestock to cut losses from disease and infected wounds. Sick cattle reportedly benefit from 1 pint 3% H₂O₂ to each 5 gallons of water. (Chickens and cows have remained healthy by using 8 ounces of 35% H₂O₂ per 1,000 gallons of drinking water).

H₂O₂ Household / Personal  Uses

• Water Purification - Add 7 drops of 35% H₂O₂ to a gallon of drinking water and shake well topurify it and give it a pleasant waterfall-like flavor.
• Toothpaste -Use 3% H₂O₂ mixed with baking soda. Or, just dip your brush in 3% H₂O₂ and brush.
• Vegetable / Fruit Spray - To remove pesticides, spray with a 3% H₂O₂ and then rinse.
• Dishwasher - Add 2 oz (¼  Cup) of 3% H₂O₂ to the regular washing formula.
• Washing Machine - Add 8 oz (1 Cup) of 3% H₂O₂ to the wash in place of bleach.
• Milk Preservation - H₂O₂ is added to milk in several countries, to remove the need for refrigeration. Add 2 oz (¼Cup) of 3% H₂O₂ to a gallon of milk to keep it fresh for up to 24 hours without refrigeration at room temperature (20-30C).

H₂O₂ Horticultural Uses

• It is the hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it much more effective than tap water when given to plants.  Increasing levels of atmospheric pollution are, however, causing greater amounts of H₂O₂ to react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground
• Increased crop yields - Farmers increase crop yields by spraying them with diluted H₂O₂  ( 5 -16 ounces of 35% H₂O₂ mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre;)
• House Plants - Improve your house plants by adding 2 Tbsp. (1 oz.) 3% H₂O₂ (or 16 drops of 35% H₂O₂)  to every quart of water you give your plants;
• Seed Germination - Seeds germinate faster, with bigger sprouts, when they are first soaked in 1 ounce of 3% H₂O₂ to 1 pint of water.
• Safe Insecticide - Spray your plants with 8 ounces of 3% H₂O₂mixed with 8 ounces of white sugar and 1 gallon of water.

A little chemistry on H₂O₂

How is H₂O₂ formed?

In nature - By combining water with oxygen - By adding 2 electrons to molecular oxygen

2 H₂O + ³ O₂ →  2 H₂O₂

In biological systems

(1) By 2 Superoxides joining Together

O₂^•-+ O₂^•- + 2H⁺ → H₂O₂ + ³ O₂

Or

(2) By Antibodies - which generate H₂O₂ from singlet oxygen ( ¹O₂*) using H₂O (antibodies provide electron source in a catalytic process - possibly as a protective mechanism against ¹O₂*)

¹O₂* + H2O → H₂O₂

The active ability of H₂O₂

H₂O₂ is neutrally charged, and can diffuse deeply into cells - H₂O₂ is actually considered a poorly reactive non-radical, but its "strength" lies in the extremely reactive Hydroxyl Radical (OH•)it can produce:

• Hydroxyl radical (OH•) produced from H₂O₂ by:
  • H₂O₂ oxidation of transition metal ions (especially iron contained in hemoglobin)

H₂O₂ + Fe²⁺ → OH^• + OH^- + Fe³⁺ (known as the Fenton reaction)

• H₂O₂ reacting with Photon or Electron Energy (i.e. Reduction of H₂O₂)

H₂O₂ +e^- → OH^• + OH^-

The OH^• radical is a potent biological oxidant capable of destroying toxins and microbial infection. Almost every time the hydroxyl radical bumps into another molecule it pulls off a hydrogen atom to then become harmless water, while simultaneously producing another radical in what is left of the other molecule.

-   Neutrophils can also produce the oxidizing agent hypochlorous acid (HOCl) - by the well-established reaction of H₂O₂ with a chlorine ion:

H₂O₂ + Cl^-→ HOCl + OH^-
