I'm interested in and have researched food grade hydrogen peroxide therapy. I'm curious to hear if any FReepers do this. If so, what are your results?
Heard of one doctor in the Bahamas doing this therapy a few years ago..
Some said is was successful on some people.. and partially successful on some others..
Sounded logical... but could be hype somewhat...
How does Peroxide work on cat urine smell?
I find it fascinating that someone would call hydrogen peroxide a “natural health” treatment for anything.
May God Bless Your Cousin.

“How does Peroxide work on cat urine smell?”
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent; destroys chemical compounds responsible for foul odors.
Been doing that for 20+ yrs.
Daaangggg!
It’s good for disinfecting and topical uses. And yes it completely and safely removes blood stains from fabric. It’s antibacterial and antifungal.
It’s great when mixed with baking soda to brush teeth and diluted to gargle.
But I would not ingest it.
later
Good question! These were not my remedies, it was an e-mail that I received.
I would assume that if it eliminated human urine smell, that it would also do the same for cat urine. Although I think cat urine is a stronger smell.
Baking soda also absorbs smell, not sure how it would work on urine. :)
Chlorine bleach doesn’t kill giardia and crypto? I was under the impression that it did kill giardia. As for crypto I have never heard anything specific.
Causes of hairy tongue
The exact cause for hairy tongue disease is unknown but hairy tongue is usually seen in heavy smokers and in those following antibiotic therapy which causes change in normal bacteria content in the mouth. Other potential factors that may contribute to hairy tongue include:
poor oral hygiene,
mouth breathing,
poor diet
excessive use of antiseptic mouthwashes containing oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide.
I used hydrogen peroxide on my hair when I was about 16. Got a very weird color.
I’m a fairly fit 61 y.o. male who decided to try oral hydrogen peroxide therapy on the theory that oxygen released by the essentially unstable H2O2 molecule kills viruses and most malign bacteria on contact. I have been drinking drops of 35% food grade H2O2 for approximately 1 month for general health and an attempt at alleviating fatigue and mild arthritis. Began with 3 drops in 8 oz. distilled water 3x daily, increased 1 drop each day to a maximum of 25 drops in 8 oz. distilled water 3x daily, now decreasing 1 drop each day to a planned maintenance level of 3 drops in 8 oz. distilled water 3x daily.
Principal side effect has been a collapse in my energy level at about the 10 day mark, which the literature explains as a result of toxic waste accumulation and expulsion as a consequence of the free oxygen doing its job. My energy level is slowly returning and I have started jogging and working out again, activity that I suspended 2 weeks ago. I understand that 35% H2O2 solution is highly caustic and must be handled with care and diluted in distilled water before ingesting 1 hour before or 3 hours after meals. Hope this helps...it hasn’t killed me yet.
A few cautions. The first is common sense.
Do not look for any single thing that will be the end-all, be-all of all problems. But that being said, if you keep and use several common and inexpensive products wisely, you can get the best results for each of them. (Importantly, not at the same time!)
This list should include both hydrogen peroxide and Clorox bleach, but it should also have oxygen bleach, pure ammonia, baking soda, white vinegar, club soda, Everclear (grain ethanol alcohol), cornstarch, and citrus oil.
To start with, to use these products wisely, it is important to understand a little about pH, that is, acids, neutral, and bases. Strong acids and strong bases are often too strong, and need to be buffered by a more neutral substance.
Bleach is a very strong base, with a pH of 13, but ordinary soapy water is quite strong, with a pH of 12. The typical ammonia solution is 11, and baking soda is 9. Water and ethanol are 7 (neutral).
Vinegar is between 4 and 5, so is an acid. Club soda is between 3 and 4 (excepting those that have bicarbonate of soda, baking soda, added to reduce their acidity.)
Most of us have seen what happens when vinegar is mixed with baking soda. But after it is done fizzing, with some water added, it makes a good buffer solution, so that other acids and bases are not so harsh, yet still work.
Citrus oils are popular cleaners because they are strong solvents of greases, oils, tars, and petroleum based substances. Conversely, once dissolved, cornstarch is great for soaking them up.
Both chlorine and oxygen bleach can be very harsh to some materials, and grain alcohol is a superb disinfectant and preservative, that does not stain.

where do you buy your food grade h2o2? I have been to organic stores before, most never heard of this
