Hydrogen Peroxide As Used Long Ago

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) has been used by people all over the world for over a century. It has an ever-increasing variety of uses. Hydrogen Peroxide is a substance that was used greatly in the old days. Its original trade name was 'Dioxogen' and it was used very commonly by professionals and the public alike. Dioxogen was often used before the age of anti-biotics and the reign of drug companies.

Hydrogen Peroxide is simply a wonderfully basic substance, naturally occurring in fresh fruit and vegetables, rainwater and is produced by our white blood cells in our bodies’ immune system.

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the few simple miracle substances still available to the public. Its safety and multiple uses ranks it right up there with Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). If you've never used either of these compounds you are overlooking two of the most powerful healing tools ever discovered.

H2O2 makes an excellent non-toxic cleaning agent, killing microbes and bacteria. H2O2 is a bleach and disinfectant (good for removing stains and for refreshing whites). It can be used in the garden as insecticide and is indeed used by some, more enlightened farmers.

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is the only grade that has no impurities or additives that are often added by manufacturers for a variety of reasons. For instance, electrical grade Hydrogen Peroxide, which is used for washing Transistors and Integrated Microchip parts before assembly, has stabilizers, additives and other impurities added to it depending on the manufacturing and diluting process being used.

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is well known by some to be good for general health, helping to clear the digestive tract of bacterial and fungal infections and parasites. Some use Hydrogen Peroxide internally (a series of drops in distilled water) and externally (H2O2 in the bath etc) to oxygenate the tissues and blood and help maintain a healthy mind and body.

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide comes at strength of 35% mixed with distilled water. This is the strongest dilution that is stable in water. When diluted into weaker strengths, Hydrogen Peroxide is applicable for a wide variety of uses.

Hydrogen Peroxide is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) as an antimicrobial agent and an oxidizing agent by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is widely prescribed across Europe as a disinfectant for cleaning surgical wounds and is used within the British National Health Service (NHS) to deep clean hospital wards and ambulances. Bioquell is a company that uses a Hydrogen Peroxide vapor (HPV) to eradicate bacteria, viruses and fungi from hospital wards and equipment including the notorious MRSA virus.

Others actually use Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide both for the prevention and treatment of a variety of conditions, some minor such as earaches, flu & colds, arthritis, minor wounds, general aches and pains etc and some more severe conditions such as cancer, emphysema and heart disease.

The spring water of Lourdes, famous for it’s healing powers has a very high content of naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide.

This long forgotten cure existed before anti-biotics and the power of drug companies. It was used medicinally in a variety of ways due to its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Further, since it is a good oxidizing agent, it provides a very deep clean, acts as an excellent natural bleaching alternative and is also a good stain remover.

General Uses of Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

Used As A Sanitizer
To disinfect all surfaces use a 3% solution and use the spray bottle provided. Wipe down surfaces and effectively kill bacteria and viruses. This can be used on all surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen including fridges and electrical appliances, use on wooden chopping boards to kill salmonella and other germs.

Hydrogen Peroxide creates no residual toxins of any kind and it breaks down to water and oxygen within a few hours leaving a fresh smell. Not only sanitizing the areas you want clean but at the same time meaning you avoid using harmful or poisonous chemicals in and around your home and family.

Vegetable and Meat Wash
Put some Himalayan crystal salt along with 40ml of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide into regular washing up bowl of cool water and use to rinse fish, chicken, meat and vegetables killing bacteria and viruses. Rinse after with clean water. This process increases the life of food. Research published by the Journal of Food and Science in 2003 showed effective results of using hydrogen peroxide to decontaminate apples and melons that were infected with strains of E.coli. This will apply to fish and meats containing potentially detrimental bacteria. I wash all of my fruit and vegetable this way as soon as I get it home.

Dental Hygiene
Toothbrushes can be soaked in 3% H2O2 between uses to eliminate most germs. Remember to store it in a dark container to prevent degradation.

Mouthwash
The Merck Manuals recommended diluting 3% hydrogen peroxide 50/50 with distilled water. This solution can simply be used as a mouthwash and will help to whiten teeth and fight oral disease.

Nasal Wash
Tilt your head back and spray 50/50 solution of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with water when you have a cold or blocked sinus, this will help clear and kill bacteria, hold for a moment and blow out into a tissue.

Ear Wash
Use 50/50 water and 3% solution as a rinse to clear blocked ears and treat infections.

Laundry
Add 225ml of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to your wash in place of bleaches.

Removing Wine Stains From Carpet
First spot test an area of carpet for color fastness. Apply 3% solution to stain through spay bottle or with cotton bud for small drops. Work the solution into the carpet with a sponge to make sure it’s saturated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes and blot with a clean dry cloth.

Bath soak
Add 280ml to 560ml of 35% solution to a full bath of water along with 1/2 a cup of Epsom salts for an amazing detoxifying soak, (note do not detoxify after 6-7pm as increased oxygen may keep you awake).

Facial Cleanser
Use 3% H2O2 on cotton wool balls to wipe your face after washing and before bed.

First Aid
Using a 3% solution spray directly and liberally on abrasions, cuts, open injuries and or wounds as a disinfectant.

Distilled water is recommended because it has no minerals or contaminants in it (like Chlorine & Fluoride in tap water) that would react with the free oxygen atom.

The number of ailments effectively treated by Hydrogen Peroxide is simply astounding. Over the last 25 years over 7000 papers have been published in medical journals relating to the use and benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide.

Hydrogen Peroxide is naturally produced in the atmosphere when Ozone (O3) is struck by ultra-violet light in the presence of water vapor and falls to the earth as rain. Hydrogen Peroxide can be described as an essential nutritional substance because of it's oxygenating effect on the body and anti-pathogenic effects. Our own body's immune systems produce it in tiny quantities to kill bacteria and viruses in the body. When ingested in small naturally occurring amounts it kills off harmful bacteria in the digestive tract as well as parasites and fungal infections (Candida Albicans)

Hydrogen Peroxide can also found in fresh fruit and vegetables and Mother's breast milk.

Hydrogen Peroxide comes in many grades all designed for different applications. Electrical grade for example has many chemical stabilizers added to it to prevent it from decomposing. This is true for most grades of Hydrogen Peroxide.

Hydrogen Peroxide is available in a variety of different grades with many properties and is used for industrial, commercial, military and scientific purposes.

But most importantly, and what has been forgotten, is that it has a wide range of applications relating to many areas of daily life and health.

Hydrogen Peroxide easily breaks down into water (H2O) and an atom of free oxygen (O). It is this single oxygen atom that gives the huge range of beneficial uses. Within the body friendly bacteria flourish in oxygen rich environments whereas most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic (work without oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Hence H2O2 is incredibly effective at treating infections topically.

The ONLY grade that can be used safely for health and cleaning reasons is known as 'Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide'.
