Hydrogen peroxide is involved in all of life's
vital processes, and must be present for the
immune system to function properly. The cells in the body
that fight infection (known as
granulocytes) produce hydrogen peroxide
as a first line of defense against
invading organisms like parasites,
viruses, bacteria and yeast. It is also
required for the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and
minerals. As a hormonal regulator,
hydrogen peroxide is necessary for the
body's production of estrogen,
progesterone and thyroxin; it also helps
regulate blood sugar and the production
of energy in cells.
When it comes to
hydrogen peroxide therapy there seems to be only
two points of view. Supporters consider it one
of the greatest healing miracles of all time.
Those opposed feel its ingestion is
exceptionally dangerous, and only the foolhardy
could think of engaging in such behavior,
stating that taking hydrogen peroxide orally can
have a corrosive effect on the stomach
and small intestine and advise against
using it.
The
controversy deals with ingesting H2O2
orally or introducing it into the
body intravenously. The dispute has been
going on for decades and it will
continue for many more years to come. Oral
use is dirt cheap to use, so of course the
medical community will resist.

"...When the body has ample oxygen, it produces enough
energy to optimize metabolism and eliminate accumulated
toxic wastes in the tissues.
Natural immunity is achieved when the immune system is
not burdened with heavy "toxic buildup".
Detoxification occurs when oxygen is introduced into the
system".
Dr. Norman McVea
"...Insufficient oxygen means insufficient biological
energy that can result in anything from mild fatigue to
life threatening disease.
The link between insufficient oxygen and disease has now
been firmly established. The more oxygen we have in our
system, the more energy we produce."
Dr. W. Spencer Way:
Journal of the American Association of Physicians
"...The large majority of those infectious microbes that
cause us so much illness and pain are ANAEROBIC...a big
word that means they live and proliferate best in
environments where there is LITTLE OR NO OXYGEN".
Ed McCabe:
Oxygen Therapies: A New Way of Approaching Disease
"...Lack
of oxygen clearly plays a major role in causing cells to
become cancerous."
Dr. Harry Goldblatt:
Journal of Experimental Medicine
"...Cancer has only one prime
cause. It is the replacement of normal oxygen
respiration of the body's cells by an anaerobic (i.e.
oxygen deficient) cell respiration."
Dr. Otto Warburg: Nobel Prize for Cancer Research
"...In all serious disease states we find a concomitant
low oxygen state. Low oxygen in the body tissues
is a sure indicator for disease. Hypoxia, or lack of
oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all
degenerative disease."
Dr. Stephen Levine - Molecular Biologist. Oxygen
Deficiency: A Concomitant to all Degenerative Illnesses
"...The true cause of allergy is lowered oxidation
process within the body, causing the affected individual
to be sensitive to foreign substances entering the body.
Only when the oxidation mechanism is restored to its
original highest state of efficiency can the sensitivity
be eliminated."

Hydrogen
Peroxide (H2O2) -
How it works
When exposed to other compounds hydrogen
peroxide dismutates readily. The extra
oxygen atom is released into tissues, leaving
behind H20 (water).
In nature oxygen (02) consists of two
atoms--a very stable combination. A single
atom of oxygen, however, is very reactive
and is referred to as a
free radical. Over
the past several years, we've continually
read that these free radicals are
responsible for all types of ailments and
even premature aging. What many writers seem
to forget, however, is that our bodies
create and use free radicals to destroy
harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In
fact, the cells responsible for fighting
infection and foreign invaders in the body
(your white blood cells) make hydrogen
peroxide and use it to oxidize any offending
culprits.
Hydrogen peroxide produced within
individual body cells is essential for life.
And no one doubts its effectiveness when it
comes to treating infections topically.
The intense bubbling you see when
hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a
bacteria-laden cut or wound is the oxygen
being released and bacteria being destroyed.
The ability of our cells to produce hydrogen
peroxide is essential for life. H202 is not
some undesirable by-product or toxin, but
instead a basic requirement for good health.
Free radicals,
also known simply as radicals, are organic molecules
responsible for aging, tissue damage, and possibly some
diseases. These molecules are very unstable, therefore
they look to bond with other molecules, destroying their
health and further continuing the damaging process.
Antioxidants, present in
many foods, are molecules that prevent free radicals
from harming healthy tissue.
Radicals do play a key role in several biological
processes. They play a part in the work of the white
blood cells called phagocytes, which "eat"
bacteria and other pathogens in the body. They also are
believed to be involved in a process called redox
signaling, where they are thought to act as
cellular messengers.
The Problem with Radicals
Some molecules are unstable. They do
not have an even number of electrons, so they are always
searching for an extra electron they can
"steal" to become stable. Out in the world, this is a
normal process, but in the body, it can result in
unnecessary and unwanted damage.
Free radicals are "free" because they
float around until they stabilize, and "radical" in the
sense that there are a wide variety of molecules from
which they can take an electron. The damage doesn't stop
there, however, as the new molecule, say a piece of a
cell wall, is now also missing an electron and has
become another free radical. This snowball effect can
wreak havoc on healthy tissue.

It was reported to work as far
back as 1920. The English medical journal,
Lancet, then reported that intravenous
infusion was used successfully to treat
pneumonia in the epidemic following World
War I. In the 1940's Father Richard Willhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide
use, reported on the compound being used
extensively to treat everything from
bacterial-related mental illness to skin
disease and polio. Father Willhelm is the
founder of "Educational Concern for Hydrogen
Peroxide" (ECHO, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to educating the public on the
safe use and therapeutic benefits of
hydrogen peroxide.) Much of the interest in
hydrogen peroxide waned in the 1940's when
prescription medications came on the scene.
Since that time there has been little
economic interest in funding peroxide
research. After all, it is dirt cheap and
non-patentable. Even still, in the last 25
years, over 7,700 articles relating to
hydrogen peroxide have been written in the
standard medical journals. Thousands more,
involving its therapeutic use, have appeared
in alternative health publications. The
number of conditions helped by hydrogen
peroxide is astounding. The reported dangers
and side effects are few and often
conflicting.
Aerobic
versus Anaerobic
The use of
hydrogen peroxide (oxygen) has been proven to treat illness
of nearly every type. Unlike healthy human cells
that love oxygen, the disease causing
viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites (including the HIV and cancer virus,
cancer cells, arthritis microbes, colds
and flu, and West Nile virus carried by
mosquitoes) – like most primitive lower
life forms - are almost all anaerobic
(use sugar to survive instead of oxygen). That means these
microbes and cancer cells
cannot live in high oxygen concentrations.
Yes, that's right, cancer cells and HIV die when exposed to
oxygen.
The use of hydrogen peroxide and
ozone in
medicine is based on the fact that the
accumulation of toxins in the body is normally
burnt up by the process of oxidation, a process
wherein a substance is changed chemically
because of the effect of oxygen on it. Oxidation
breaks the toxins down into carbon dioxide and
water, and eliminates them from the body.
However, if the oxygen system of the body is
weak or deficient (whether through lack of
exercise, environmental pollution, poor diet,
smoking, or even improper breathing), our bodies
cannot eliminate them adequately and a toxic
reaction can occur. In minor cases, a toxic
buildup can lead to fatigue, headaches, etc.,
while a wide range of deadly diseases can result
when poor oxygenation is chronic.
Most harmful bacteria (and cancer
cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in
the presence of oxygen or H202.
H202 works wonders on a
multitude of health problems.
It does so by
increasing tissue oxygen levels.
It's obvious
that our oxygen needs are not being met.
Several of the most common ailments now
affecting our population are directly
related to oxygen starvation. Asthma,
emphysema, and lung disease are on the rise,
especially in the polluted metropolitan
areas. Cases of constipation, diarrhea,
intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are
all on the upswing. Periodontal disease is
endemic in the adult population of this
country. Cancer of all forms continues to
increase. Immune system disorders are
sweeping the globe. Chronic fatigue, "Yuppie
Flu" and hundreds of other strange viral
diseases have begun to surface. Ironically,
many of the new "miracle" drugs and
nutritional supplements used to treat these
conditions work by increasing cellular
oxygen (oftentimes through H202 formation). For example, the miracle nutrient, Coenzyme
Q10, helps regulate intercellular oxidation. Organic germanium, which received
considerable publicity not too long ago,
also increases oxygen levels at the cellular
level. And even substances like niacin and
vitamin E promote tissue oxidation through
their dilation of blood vessels.
Hydrogen
peroxide is only one of the many components
that help regulate the amount of oxygen
getting to your cells. Its presence is vital
for many other functions as well. It is
required for the production of thyroid
hormone and sexual hormones. (Mol Cell Endocrinol 86;46(2): 149-154) (Steroids
82;40(5):5690579). It stimulates the
production of interferon (J Immunol
85;134(4):24492455). It dilates blood
vessels in the heart and brain (Am J Physiol
86;250 (5 pt 2): H815-821 and (2 pt
2):H157-162). It improves glucose
utilization in diabetics (Proceedings of the IBOM Conference 1989, 1990, 1991). The
closer you look at hydrogen peroxide, the
less surprising it becomes that it can help
such a wide variety of conditions.
Grades of
Hydrogen Peroxide
A)
3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade:
This is the grade sold at your local
drugstore or supermarket. This product
is not recommended for internal use. It
contains an assortment of stabilizers
which shouldn't be ingested. Various
stabilizers include: acetanilide,
phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium
phosphate.
B) 6% Beautician Grade:
This is used in beauty shops to color
hair and is not recommended for internal
use.
C)
30% Reagent Grade: This
is used for various scientific
experimentation and also contains
stabilizers. It is also not for internal
use.
D)
30% to 32% Electronic Grade:
This is used to clean electronic parts
and not for internal use.
E)
35% Technical Grade:
This is a more concentrated product than
the Reagent Grade and differs slightly
in that phosphorus is added to help
neutralize any chlorine from the water
used to dilute it.
F)
35% Food Grade: This is
used in the production of foods like
cheese, eggs, and whey-containing
products. It is also sprayed on the foil
lining of aseptic packages containing
fruit juices and milk products.
FOOD GRADE IS
THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL
USE.
G)
90%: This is used as an
oxygen source for rocket fuel.
Only
35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is
recommended for internal use.
At this concentration, however, hydrogen
peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and
if not diluted, it can be extremely
dangerous or even fatal. Any
concentrations over 10% can cause
neurological reactions and damage to the
upper gastrointestinal tract. There have
been two known fatalities in children
who ingested 27% and 40% concentrations
of H202. Another reports tells of a 26 month old female
who swallowed one mouthful of 35% H202. She
immediately began vomiting, followed by
fainting and respiratory arrest.
Fortunately, she was under emergency
room care and although she experienced
erosion and bleeding of the stomach and
esophagus, she survived the incident.
When she was re-examined 12 days later,
the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol
Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).
35% Food
Grade H202 must be....
1)
handled carefully (direct contact
will burn the skin- immediate
flushing with water is recommended).
2)
diluted properly before use.
3)
stored safely and properly (after
making a dilution the remainder
should be stored tightly sealed in
the fridge).
One
of the most convenient methods of
dispensing 35% H202 is from a small
glass eye dropper bottle. These can
be purchased at your local
drugstore. Fill this with the 35%
H202 and store the larger container
in the
refrigerator until more is needed.
Store the eye dropper bottle in the
refrigerator. The generally
recommended dosage is outlined in
the chart below.
The drops are mixed
with either 6 to 8 ounces of
distilled water, juice,
aloe vera juice or gel.
(Don't use
chlorinated tap water to dilute the
peroxide!)

The program outlined is only a
suggestion.
It is based on reports from
thousands of users. Those who choose
to go at a slower pace can expect to
progress more slowly, but that
certainly is an option. The program
is not carved in stone and keep in
mind that it can be adapted to fit
individual needs.
Should you have severe reactions or discomfort,
do not advance to the next level until you can
handle the “herx reaction”. If needed, reduce
your drops until you are comfortable.
Individuals who
have had transplants should not undertake an
H202 program. H202 stimulates the immune system
and could possibly cause a rejection of the
organ.
Maintenance Dosage
In most situations after the
21 day program, the amount of H202
can be tapered off gradually as
follows:
25 drops once every other day for 1
week 25 drops once every third day for 2
weeks 25 drops once every fourth day for 3
weeks
This can then be
reduced to between 5 and 15 drops per week based
on how one feels. Those with more serious
problems will often benefit from staying on 25
drops three times a day for one to three weeks,
then tapering down to 25 drops two times daily
until the problem is resolved (possibly as long
as six months).
It is
important that H202 be taken on an
empty stomach. This is best
accomplished by taking it either one
hour before meals or three hours
after meals. If there is food in the
stomach, the reaction of H202 on any
bacteria present may cause excess
foaming, indigestion, and vomiting. The bleach-like
aftertaste of H202 can be lessened
by chewing one of the sugar-free
cinnamon gums. Some individuals
taking H202 immediately before
bedtime have a difficult time
getting to sleep. This is probably
due to a sense of alertness
triggered by an increase of oxygen
at the cellular level. The oral
dosage schedule is basically the
same for all conditions. There are
several points to keep in mind,
however.
It is widely recognized
that the herxheimer reaction is caused by
the release of toxic chemicals (endotoxin)
released from the cell walls of
dying bacteria and virus due to
effective treatment. This, in
turn, results in a response from the
immune system which manifests the
"nausea" symptoms experienced by the
individual being treated. |
Some individuals
may experience upset stomach. If this
occurs it is recommended that one not stop the
program, but rather remain at the current dosage
level or reduce it to the previous level until
the problem stops. (Some people have been able
to solve the nausea problem by
taking three or four lecithin
capsules at the same time they take
the H202.) During the program it's
not uncommon to experience what is
known as a healing crisis.
This commonly referred to as the
herxheimer reaction. As dead
bacteria and toxins are released
from your body it may temporarily
exceed your capacity to eliminate
them quickly enough. In some
individuals this overload may cause
fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, skin
eruptions, cold or flu-like
symptoms, and/or nausea. One should
not discontinue using the peroxide
to stop this cleansing. By
continuing the program, toxins will
clear the body sooner and this
healing crisis will pass rather
quickly.
Vitamin E
and an acidophilus can make more
efficient use of any oxygen
available and acidophilus will help
re-establish the beneficial
bacterial flora in the lower bowel
and also help in the internal
production of hydrogen peroxide.
Making and Using 3.5% Solutions of
H202
A 3.5% solution can be made quite
easily by first pouring 1 ounce of
35% H202 into a pint jar. To this
add 11 ounces of distilled water.
This will make 12 ounces of 3.5%
H202. 3.5% H202 has a variety of
medicinal uses.
1.
Three tablespoons mixed with a quart
of non-chlorinated water makes a
good enema or douche formula. 2. It can be used full strength as a
mouthwash or mixed with baking soda
for toothpaste. 3. It can be used full strength as a
foot bath for athlete's foot.
(Diabetics have found relief from
circulation problems by soaking
their feet in 1 pint of 3% peroxide
mixed with 1 gallon of warm,
non-chlorinated water for 30 minutes
nightly.) 4. A tablespoon added
to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water can be used as
a nasal spray. Depending on the degree of sinus
involvement, one will have to adjust the amount
of peroxide used. 5. 3.5% H202 can be added to pets
drinking water at the rate of 1
ounce per quart of non-chlorinated
water. Sick cattle reportedly
benefit from 1 pint (of 3%) to each
5 gallons of water.
Personal note:
As with
ANY food, drug, or supplement, using
the product according to instructions is
key to safety. If someone uses too
much, then of course ramifications may
be felt. We've NEVER heard of ANY
harmful side effects from the correct
usage of Food Grade hydrogen
peroxide.
In dire cases of disease, intraveneous
use may be recommended.
