Deb -
Never have - but why would I use something inside me that is designed to kill stuff outside me and bleach my hair? Here's a link that shows a few problems: http://www.livestrong.com/article/130692-dangers-grade-hydrogen-peroxide/
http://skin.emedtv.com/hydrogen-peroxide/hydrogen-peroxide-side-effects-p2.html
There are a lot of sites also out there that tout the benefits of drinking various mixes of it - but I don't know of anybody has used it for more than a sterilizing mouthwash under the orders of a dentist.
$0.02...

Hugs,
Dennis

I agree with Denny.

30% hydrogen peroxide is a highly corrosive.

"The substance is toxic to lungs, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage."

Your body makes Hydrogen peroxide to fight infection which must be present for our immune system to function correctly. White blood cells are known as Leukocytes. A sub-class of Leukocytes called Neutrophils produce hydrogen peroxide as the first line of defense against toxins, parasites, bacteria, viruses and yeast.

I have used it to boil out a sore that was infected.

You are thinking of using it for..........what?

Deb: I have done some research into this, I even bought the book "One Minute Cure". I guess someone made some money off of me on this one, but I was curious.

I have so say that this really scares me, and would never try it.

Dennis and boldprint posted some good links.

I spend a lot of time looking for alternative treatments for my condition. Some look like they could work while others are downright scary or scams.

I am sure I am not the only one surfing the internet for alternative treatments. I am glad someone started a discussion about one.

If you mix it with equal parts of Dawn and brush it on, it makes a great spot remover for clothing. But, no, I don't think I'd want to take it internally. I believe there used to be a gentleman on this site who was doing a peroxide treatment, but I haven't seen anything of him in a long time.

My daughter once drank a bottle of peroxide... she was 4. I called poison control and was told that it would not hurt her but that I should avoid feeding her for a couple of hours as it would fizz up and give her a stomach ache. There were no ill effects...

Regular Peroxide that you buy in the drug store (Walgreen/CVS) that comes in the brown plastic bottle is POISONOUS!!! On the other hand, FOOD GRADE peroxide can be ingested internally, yet people have accidentally overdosed on this type of peroxide as well. Be careful. Blessings today and always.

Deb, That stuff is for sores, cuts, ect, maybe cleaning something, but not to put inside you, regardless of how great the selling point is. We had a discussion here a few months ago about it, Someone was using it for treatment, was drinking it I think, , but he has not posted in a long time. Check out Denny's web sites.
Be careful and be safe

Deb, I used to use 3% hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash in order to kill bacteria and help whiten my teeth but was careful not to swallow it.
I would not use food strength peroxide for anything today because it is too powerful and I don't need more problems than I already have.

I used the same to clean a stain off from a white carpet long ago. It changed the color while bleaching it and scared me too. Too corrosive for me. Be careful!

Love, Cindy

Well here is the link that got me curious about the Food Grade Peroxide.......................http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/oxygen-and-cancer.html

I'll prolly ask my pharmacist about it tomorrow........but like most of you hear said........the stuff I have read about it........well it scared the living doo-doo right outta me..........LOL

Almost sound to dangerous to even have around the house......LOL:(

~~~~~grasping at straws Bear

Deb, Let us know what your pharmacist says about hydrogen peroxide. Or food strength peroxide? I never asked but now I am more concerned.

Take care of you and sending lots of hugs!!

Love, Cindy

Cindy.....I sure will let ya know what he says.

I'm sitting here was past my bed time eating a bowl of cherries...........and so I did what any bear would do...I googled "cherries for health"..............and here is what I found............

I like cherries better than peroxide :):)

~~~cherry eating bear :)

Deb: you are not grasping at straws, you are exploring alternative treatments. Alternative treatments are o.k. as long as they don't look too dangerous or interfere with a contemporary treatment. You are smart to talk to your doc about anything you are thinking about trying.

The most effective alternative treatments I have found are the ones that use nutrition and nutritional supplements, and sometimes I will try herbs. I believe our bodies have more power to heal themselves than we currently understand.

When I am exploring different websites I look at what ads pop up with the site, and also if they want you to spend money for "The cure"

Keep looking and continue to use your better judgment.

Deb,

I just bought the Nutra Bullet veggie/fruit smoothie maker. There are a lot of them out there on the market, like at Walmart etc...some are pricey, some are cheap, ...

But, extracting the good stuff out of veggies, and fruit, and measuring how much I put into my drink, is healthy for me. There are a lot of natural foods, veggies and fruits, that help with fighting cancer cells, and boosting your energy, and some wonderful antioxidants for your body.

So, look into the natural benefits from food, and see how that could benefit your health!! My veggie/fruit smoothie's are good, but if I just do fruit and no veggies???? They don't TASTE as good, as with the veggie, like baby spinach or kale !!

I was surprised that I liked it better with the dark , leafy green veggie, than without! Just gives the whole drink a nice taste!

Boo: juicing is a really good way to get a lot of nutrients that are really good for you.

I saw a movie last year on the subject and it was really good. Here is one link to it.
