How to Apply H₂O₂ therapy

Which kind of H₂O₂ should I use?

H₂O₂ is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even fatal

Most store-bought H₂O₂ is 3% pharmaceutical grade suitable for use in EXTERNAL / TOPICAL therapies, and household and horticultural applications.

If using a H₂O₂ therapy that puts H₂O₂ inside the body   (E.g. Nebulizing, oral consumption and using DMSO as a penetrant to carry H₂O₂ through the skin and into the blood stream) you should use FOOD GRADE H₂O_2.     Do NOT use typical store-bought, pharmaceutical grade 3% H₂O₂, which can contain an assortment of potentially harmful chemical stabilizers, which you do not want in your body, including acetanilide, phenol, sodium stagnate, and tetrasodium phosphate.. Unless you can obtain ready-made 3% food-grade H₂O_2, you will need to buy 35% H₂O₂ and dilute it.

Warnings, storage and handling of 35% Hydrogen Peroxide

WARNING: 35% H2O2 is dangerous "stuff".  It must be handled as if you are in a professional laboratory.

• Wear goggles and handle carefully.  Direct contact will burn the skin or eyes  - if this occurs, immediately flush with running water. The skin will temporarily turn white, but will do no permanent harm. It is strongly advised to wear goggles during handling.
• Dilute properly before use.
• Store safely and properly - After making a dilution the remainder should be stored tightly sealed and well labeled in the freezer. 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 down further by storing the H₂O₂ in the freezer.
• Keep it away from children - H₂O₂ can easily be mistaken for water, so inform all possible contacts of the solution of its presence and potential danger.

DON'T GET 35% H₂O₂ ON YOUR CLOTHES, FURNITURE,CARPETS or LINENS - IT WILL BLEACH THEM!

If an application requires any other strength than 3% H₂O₂:

• For a concentration < 3% add appropriate amount of distilled water
• For a concentration > 3% DILUTE a 35% FOOD GRADE hydrogen peroxide.   Be aware that this strength solution can be dangerous and should be handled as if you are in a professional laboratory

How to dilute a solution

Instructions for making 3% H₂O₂ from 35% FOOD GRADE H₂O₂ for internal use

Mix 11 parts of distilled (or non-chlorinated) water with 1 part 35% FOOD GRADE H₂O_2.  E.g.  Add 11 oz. water to 1 oz. 35% H₂O₂ to make 12oz. 3% H₂O₂

Side effects of H₂O₂ therapy

Herxheimer Effect.   When detoxifying the body with H₂O_2, a "die-off" effect is observed, called the Herxheimer Effect. This can be mediated by drinking lots of water;

Herxheimer Effect

H₂O₂ will deplete the body's flora (good bacteria) if used in the vagina or intestines.    You will therefore need to re-establish your flora with a high quality probiotic supplement.

Application methods for hydrogen peroxide therapy

Transdermal

(The absorption rate of skin is around 60% )

• Detoxification foot bath: Soak feet in 3% H₂O₂ in a footbath for 30 minutes daily. A vibrating footbath adds some reflexology benefit. Prolong the life of the H₂O₂ solution for reuse, by keeping it cool and in the dark between uses.You can also add 1 tsp. of Epsom salts or sea salt.
• Detoxification Bath: a very effective, inexpensive way to get H₂O₂ into the body for detoxification. The recommended rate is 8 oz. (1 Cup) of 35% H₂O₂  (put in at "half-full" to ensure safe dilution) in a tub of un-chlorinated water. Soak 30 minutes. Can use up to 16oz. (2 Cups) 35% H₂O₂.
• Gel: Use almost a tablespoon full of 35% H₂O₂ mixed thoroughly with about 7 ounces (or more) of Aloe Vera Gel and apply it to the skin.The gel helps it stick to the skin. Rinse the hands after applying.
• Mineral Bath: Add ½ cup 35% H₂O₂, ½ cup sea salt, and ½ cup baking soda or Epsom salts to bath water and soak.
• Facial: Use 3% H₂O₂ on a cotton ball after washing. Avoid eyebrows and eyes. DO NOT use 35% H₂O_2.
• Topical: Topically apply undiluted 3% H₂O₂
  • With DMSO - A highly effective treatment for oral and genital herpes is obtained by mixing 9% H₂O₂ with DMSO and applying topically to the affected areas. The use of DMSO provides superior absorption and penetration across cell membranes, and regular application has prevented further periodic outbreaks.  (Tip: Use DMSO with a little raw honey to reduce bad breath and body odor typical with DMSO use).
• Chest Poultice: Heat ¼ cup of 3% H₂O₂, pour over a white wool or cotton cloth and place it on your chest area for 20 minutes.Repeat the treatment every 8-12 hours, the H₂O₂ will be absorbed into your blood stream and lungs directly, where it will destroy the viruses or bacteria responsible for bronchitis.

Inhalation

• Nasal Mist: H₂O₂ nasal mist cleans pockets of infection from the sinuses. Use the 3% H₂O₂, dilute it at least 50% with water and put 5-10 drops in each nostril - sniff it up vigorously (it will burn a little). Do this twice daily and see if it helps. If it doesn't, then your problem is not your sinuses.
• Nebulizer:  this powerful delivery method provides an effect close to that of IV application, getting therapeutic H₂O₂ into the bloodstream, in addition to direct delivery into the sinuses, lungs and bronchi

Nebulizing Hydrogen Peroxide

• Vaporizer: Breathe free with 1 ounce of 35% H₂O₂ per gallon of water in a vaporizer every night in an emphysemic's bedroom.
• Cold Humidifier: 3% H₂O₂ in a cold humidifier.

Intravenous Infusion

Especially effective with emphysema - if you can find a doctor in your area to provide this procedure.

Oral

• Gargle: Gargle with 3% H₂O₂ for a sore throat. Do not swallow.
• Oral Rinse: Rinse mouth with a swig of 3% H₂O₂.
• Ingestion: Some people ingest controlled amounts of H₂O₂ and attain successful results. However, the problem with any medicinal consumption is that a sufficient amount of the medicine must get through the stomach, and unfortunately, much of the oxidative H₂O₂ is likely to react with the stomach contents. Also, the taste is an off-putting factor when consistent use is required, especially if you're already not feeling well.

Aural drops

This application method has proven good results for resolving a cold or flu in 12-14 hours.

• Administer a few drops of 3% H₂O₂ into each ear- You will hear some bubbling, and possibly feel a slight stinging or warm sensation.
• Wait 5-10 minutes for the bubbling and stinging to subside - then drain onto a tissue and repeat with the other ear.

Vaginal douche / Colonic enema

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% H₂O₂ in 1 quart of distilled water. Keep in mind, however, that a good bacterial flora must always be re-established in these areas to achieve lasting results.

Supplement H₂O₂ therapy with antioxidants

You are strongly advised to take antioxidants when applying any H₂O₂ therapy - to protect your healthy cells. These include Vitamins A, C, D and E, Co-enzyme Q10, and antioxidant minerals: selenium, zinc, copper, manganese and sulfur. (most contained in a whole food, dietary supplement, such as "Green Drink"). However, to prevent interference with the oxidative nature of H₂O₂ therapy you should not take antioxidants within 2 hours of treatment.
