I’m glad you are feeling relief, I know COPD is a serious condition.

However, I’ll just copy here some comments from Yahoo Answers to someone who wanted to inhale HP through the nose.

These comments are not sourced either, but really you need to talk to a doctor before inhaling something especially if you continue with it long term:

“Hydrogen peroxide is only for external use.
Take this for example H2O2 in a biological medium breaks into H2O (water) and O (molecular oxygen). This molecular oxygen is a very powerful oxidizer and only one molecule can initiate a chain of oxidation with release of free radicals throughout the cells. Free radicals damage cell structure, proteins, enzymes and are also responsible for cancer.
This is why H2O2 is used as a local disinfecting agent. The released molecular oxygen kills bacteria and other germs around the wound.”

Also found this:

“Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer that destroys loose tissue and it’ll have a field day with the membranes inside your nose and sinuses. It works great on sores on external skin because that’s what it’s for... to cleanse the wound area out. But never put it into your nose, ears, or eyes.”

Please be careful and at least talk to a doctor about this!

I had some minor surgery this week on my face and the doctor’s assistant who was cleaning up my face said that it was good to clean up blood but not to use it on a wound as it kills tissue. He recommended alcohol for cleaning the wound.

I am currently experimenting with H2O2 in my hot tub. Just the 3% type. Not sure what I think of it yet.

IMO honest to God opinion that was put out by doctors and/or medical researchers who are fully aware of the homeopathic attributes of H2O2 and the fact that it is a low cost item available to everyone.

I now know a couple of people who use H2O2 to stop colds and sore throats by gargling with it. My daughter uses once a week it to brush her teeth.

It should NOT be used in the nostrils. Those membranes are too sensitive for it.
