I’d recommend a slight modification to the Super Cleanser:

Keep the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide separate until brushing time. Then, pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide into a glass, and a small amount of baking soda into your hand.

Dip your toothbrush into the hydrogen peroxide to saturate the bristles. Then dip the toothbrush into the baking soda. Now brush.

Rinse with the hydrogen peroxide from the glass. Then a second rinse with water.

We buy 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide by the gallon and mix 1 oz of it with 11 oz of distilled water. That makes 3% hydrogen peroxide for many household uses, including tooth brushing. Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide doesn’t contain preservatives or heavy metals.

Personally, I have found that hydrogen peroxide, in specific amounts, can mitigate the symptoms of the flu, if taken early enough. But I’m not a doctor, and that is not medical advice.
