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.

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.

It is good for washing out ear wax and cleaning cuts. Other than that?????? It is the oxidizer in Baquicil swimming pool chemicals. Although at a much higher percentage than the OTC stuff........
There is a guy in the area that sells food grade 35%. I’d take about a teaspoon in distilled water. It literally makes you want to puke so you got to drink it slow. It does seem to clean you out and put more oxygen in your blood.
Another thing is salad. Grow your own greens - lettuce, kale, spinach, chard among others. High in peroxide and will oxygenate you well too plus all the other healthy things.
There’s no such thing as food grade hydrogen peroxide. The bottles that you buy in the store are what: 1.5%, 3% solutions? Pure H202 is potent stuff; it actually works quite well as an effective monopropellent rocket fuel; it would be dangerous to try and drink a high concentration hydrogen peroxide solution. You can see how much the topical stuff fizzes up when you use it, now imagine ingesting something 20 or 30 times as potent. “Food grade” hydrogen peroxide is really just water - not harmful in the least, but of no more nutritional value than any other bottle of water.
Hydrogen peroxide is toxic.
In animal trials in the ‘80’s, 25% of the animals died before the trials were stopped.
I think it’s documented both in JAMA and Lancet.
People were claiming it could cure cancer.
