Hydrogen peroxide V

Never before have I had such a widespread ripple of affirmative comments, by telephone, email and personal contact regarding the use of hydrogen peroxide in the lives of so many people. The fact is, I have been inundated with requests of its not common use, but I am not a doctor.

As such, I am severely restricted to the freedom of information given. But I, too, would feel grossly indiligent, in these times of deepening recession, if I didn’t pass on to you an email that indirectly confirms my suspicions and lists more and different uses than my life, personally, has had time to experience. This was written by Becky Ramsey from across the border in Indiana. It was headed 3% peroxide and ended with the caption “Send on to others who might need to know the benefits of 3% peroxide.”

“I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1 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 it 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 mouthwash and gargle right on the bottle.)

“2. Let your toothbrush 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 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 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.”

So there you have it, folks. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without. You could well save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner, at a time when our dollar availability is being brutally crunched.

Take care, ’cause we care.
