Hydrogen peroxide provides clues to immunity, wound healing and tumor biology
University of Wisconsin-Madison ^ | November 21, 2011

Posted on 11/21/2011 8:52:23 AM PST by decimon

MADISON – Hydrogen peroxide isn't just that bottled colorless liquid in the back of the medicine cabinet that's used occasionally for cleaning scraped knees and cut fingers.

It's also a natural chemical in the body that rallies at wound sites, jump-starting immune cells into a series of events.

A burst of hydrogen peroxide causes neutrophils, the immune system's first responders, to rush to the wound to fight microorganisms, remove damaged tissue and then start the inflammation process.

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers now have discovered the molecular sensor that detects wound-induced hydrogen peroxide and orchestrates the marshaling of neutrophils and other immune cells, or leukocytes, including those that affect tumors.

Published in the Nov. 20, 2011, advanced online version of the journal Nature, the findings have broad implications for cancer biology as well as wound healing and the way the body fights infections.

"Our findings suggest that in the future we might be able to manipulate the new pathway we've found to make immune cells go where we want them to," says lead author Dr. Anna Huttenlocher of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH).

A tumor is a type of unhealed wound, says Huttenlocher. Tumors and wounds both generate high levels of hydrogen peroxide, and immune cells responsible for inflammation seek out wounds as well as tumors.

You can get 35% food grade H202 at Amazon.com.

Here is a website that has a lot of info.

I came across this GoogTube with a guy who talks about the benefits of it.

"Where do they get 40% peroxide? That could be dangerous if you mix it with bleach!"

Not sure about peroxide and bleach, but I do know that ammonia and bleach will cause a poisonas gas and kill you.

Using a nasal spray pump to get fluids into your lungs is innefective. The size of the aerosol from nasal sprays is too big to go further than the back of the throat. Perhaps 1% of the aerosol may grt past the first bifurcation of the lungs but thats a stretch.

The asthma inhalers create aerosols of 1/100 the size of the nasal sprays and these, if inhaled slowly, can get into the lungs.

Im glad this works for you but the effect you feel is more likely a placebo effect.

We spent the night at a cabin which had rat poison out in little cardboard trays. We forgot about it when we brought our dog in for the night. We woke up to the sound of her scooting the tray around. She had eaten it all.

We called the number on the poison box and the lady told us to make her swallow hydrogen peroxide. Amazingly there was a bottle in the cabin. She took two swallows and vomited everything up. We took her to the vet the next day and they put her through a course of Vitamin K. She suffered no ill effects from the experience.

It sure is effective at getting bloodstains out of carpeting, even stains that are hours old.

Ha, yep! Even worse don’t mix 40% with ammonia ...it take a little while but if its on a cloth it will ignite.

When my dog got some rat poison the vet used a tube to pour charcoal down into the stomach and then took her outside to vomit....your way is lots cheaper....

I do know that ammonia and bleach will cause a poisonous gas and kill you.

Exactly right, but this concoction is highly effective against yellow jackets who build their nests in the ground. Normal sprays are lighter than air and work fine in eaves or trees where yellow jackets move in; not so great when they build their nest in the ground where a heavier than air concoction is needed.

At best, these sprays only kill the top layer or two and the colony recovers.

I've used the ammonia and bleach concoction on the the ground colonies before and it goes right down to the queen's room. You, of course, want to make sure you are wearing at least one of those painter's masks and don't breathe in the concoction. If you do it early in the day when the wasps are least active, a beekeeper's mask is still highly advisable as is digging into the colony with a long spading shovel or diking around it. You dump the bleach an ammonia together into the funnel you've created and make a hasty exit. The stuff is not concentrated enough to kill you in a ventilated outdoor area, but it can make you sick if you breath in too much.

The Germans used ~80% strength H202 for torpedo fuel in WWII.

Concentrated H202 also fueled the one-man “rocket packs” demonstrated back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.

*grin* I threw the cloth in a recycling bin and when I got home the entire container which is about a 100 gal. Was melted to the ground.

I read a similar article last week and took a bath in the stuff- feel great and cleared up some itching I was having on my legs (it was driving me crazy)

Also threw some in my wash- it is about the same cost as bleach

Bleach has its own uses. Example.

Concentrated H202 (HTP) is also suspected as the cause of the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk

My husband just started a food grade hydrogen peroxide regime. I posted a vanity about it last week. He read about it in THE ONE MINUTE CURE. He’s just trying it for overall health and not for any specific issues.

Just read your post in the last hour or so and did some following up.

You might be encouraged by Googling for Otto Warburg.

Cheers!

The more I learn about my problems with systemic candida and polycycstic ovarian syndrome, the more I’m convinced that sugar is the root of all health evils. I’m also a chocoholic so it’s not an easy thing to deal with.
