What most Doctors don't tell you about Hydrogen Peroxide because   email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 72/100. barehugs (5852)   ranked 449 out of 8,772 in health 4 years ago

Hydrogen Peroxide is very cheap.
You can get that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars.
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe)
No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle) 2. Let your toothbrushe s soak in a cup of 'Peroxide' to keep them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.
I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad! there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.

thanks for all those great tips. peroxide is definitely alot cheaper than tooth whitening agents as well as cleaning products.


myLot reputation of 72/100. barehugs (5852)   ranked 449 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

I wouldn't be surprised if Peroxide was the main ingredient in the best of them. These old home remedies are hard to beat.

barehugs,
It's the third ingredient (after water and 8% Alcohol) in Listerine Whitening pre-brush rinse.

I'm using the pre-brush rinse until it's gone, then switching to the brown bottled H2O2. For that much of a difference in price, I can handle the taste!

Happy MyLotting! happy w00t happy

I have been using peroxide on my teeth. It may taste a little funny, but I would rather spend the $1 on it than go pay $30 for one of those other kits!


Melitta (30)   ranked 3,605 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

Mix the peroxide with a 50/50 or 60/40 solution of your favorite, or just a cheap mouthwash. Makes the taste of peroxide a little easier to handle and you still get the benefits of the whitening. Another thing you can do is mix baking soda, peroxide and mouthwash into a paste and you have an EXCELLENT toothpaste. Fresh breath, whitening and a gentle cleanser all in one. No need to pay big bucks for a tube of toothpaste that advertises "whitening and oxygenating bubbles to kill germs." You can make your own that is better than store bought, cheaper and all natural, no SLS or other chemicals in it that you don't need or want.

Thanks for posting this useful information. I knew that you could use peroxide for different things but never this many. I really like the one about using it on your hair. That would save a lot of money.


myLot reputation of 72/100. barehugs (5852)   ranked 449 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

Well best of luck with your hair! I'd try it too except my hair left me about 30 years ago.

It's worth reading what Snopes has to say about this article http://www.snopes.com/med...


myLot reputation of 97/100. deebomb (10022)   ranked 241 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

Thanks for posting the snopes connection here. I was thinking of having my granddaughter put peroxide on her canker sore. she can't seem to get it to heal.


myLot reputation of 72/100. barehugs (5852)   ranked 449 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

Yes conformation is nice to see! Becky Ransey was right on target with this piece. Notice how Snopes beat around the bush. They have to play it safe, as they work around legal issues, keep from arousing the wrath of the medical profession, and try to uphold trusted, time honored, medical applications, by thousands of non- professional homemakers, and caregivers.


myLot reputation of 49/100. prinzess1515 (1006)   ranked 1,939 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

deebomb, put salt and lemon on the sore. It is going to hurt like crazy for a second but it will fade and get better.


myLot reputation of 86/100. owlwings (12365)   ranked 267 out of 8,772 in health  4 years ago

I would advise against salt and lemon for canker sores. Not only are both extremely painful but they don't seem to have any good effect (citrus is one of the things that Wikipedia lists as to be avoided).

Although it appears that no one really knows what causes them, it seems that there is evidence that canker sores run in families and that they are more prevalent in women than in men. They are not contagious (as cold sores are).

Several sites say there may be a link with products containing sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), such as toothpaste, for example. Try changing her toothpaste to one that doesn't contain this.

Here are some links that I felt were helpful and seemed knowledgable. A lot of them seem to duplicate information almost word for word, so I guess that there is an official medical publication somewhere:

http://kidshealth.org/tee...
http://www.medicinenet.co...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphthous_ulcer

As with any ulcer, the important thing is to keep it clean and free draining and to avoid irritants (very difficult with a mouth ulcer!). One treatment does recommend using a 1.5% solution of Hydrogen Peroxide (standard 3% diluted 1:1) as a mouthwash. This would tend to clean the wound.

Becky says you just buy it over the counter. My guess is that walmarts would be sure to stock it.

I've never used it myself, but I'm thinking of a few applications that might be applicable in my house.

Well, isn't that just amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing that with us Barehugs.

I really appreciate it and will use these tips often now that I know.

I knew some of them already, like I already use it to disinfect cuts and scrapes.

But I didn't know you can use it to clean windows and such. Great!

Wow, what a ton of good info. Is it safe on hands…I mean if I am going to use so much of it, is it going to harm the skin of my hands in any way or is it gentle too?
Also while rinsing my mouth if I accidentally swallow some, is it going to harm me?
