GRADES OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide is available in various strengths and grades.
3% 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.
6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is not recommended for internal
use.
30% Reagent Grade: This is used for various scientific experimentation and also contains
stabilizers. It is also not for internal use.
30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and not for
internal use.
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.
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. THIS IS THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE. It is available in pints,
quarts, gallons or even drums. Various suppliers are mentioned later in this article.
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.
Recently, a 26 month old female 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 freezer).
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 freezer compartment of your 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, milk or even aloe vera juice or gel. (Don´t use chlorinated
tap water to dilute the peroxide!)
The program outlined is only a suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and 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.
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 above 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).
Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2
drops three times a day before starting the above schedule.
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 possibly even
vomiting.
Additionally, some animal research indicates that when H202 given orally combines with iron and
small amounts of vitamin C in the stomach, hydroxyl radicals are created (J Inorg Biochem
89;35(1):55-69).
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.
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 patients 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. 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.
If you are not already taking vitamin E and an acidophilus product, I recommend starting them before
going on H202. Vitamin E 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% Solutions of H202
A 3% 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% H202. 3% H202 has a variety
of medicinal uses.
Three tablespoons mixed with a quart of non-chlorinated water makes a good
enema or douche formula.
It can be used full strength as a mouthwash or mixed with baking soda for
toothpaste.
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.)
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. I have seen some
who can use it at the full 3% strength and others who had difficulty with using a few drops and
mixed with a cup of water.
3% 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. (Chickens
and cows have remained healthy by using 8 ounces of 35% H202 per 1,000 gallons of drinking water.)
Additional Information
There are two sources you should contact if you have an interest in using hydrogen peroxide therapy.
The first, ECHO, was founded by Father Richard Willhelm and is run by Walter Grotz. Their
information packet includes a sample newsletter, a list of H202 distributors and several other
items. The packet is being made available to interested ALTERNATIVES readers for only $3. Their
address is ECHO Box 126, Delano, MN 55328
If you have an interest in contacting doctors who provide intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy you
can write to the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM) at the address listed
earlier in this article.
You should also be aware that there are now numerous hydrogen peroxide products on the market. Some
are simply peroxide that has been flavored and mixed with sea minerals, aloe vera, inner tree bark
or other ingredients to make the peroxide more palatable (Superoxy, Oxy Toddy, etc.).
Others claim to have developed products that deliver more oxygen than does simple hydrogen peroxide
(Aerox, Anti-Oxid-10, Di-Oxychloride, Aerobic 07, Aqua Pure, etc.). Basically you´ll end up paying
a small fortune and at best achieving the same results you can get for pennies by using hydrogen
peroxide.
CONCLUSION
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 DMSO. If you´ve never used either of these
compounds you are overlooking two of the most powerful healing tools ever discovered.
Most of us started on hydrogen peroxide shortly after birth. Not only does mother´s milk contain
high amounts of H202, the amount contained in the first milk (colostrum) is even higher. This
seems only reasonable now that we know one of its main functions is to activate and stimulate the
immune system.
Although I am a strong supporter of H202 therapy, I am not suggesting that everyone needs to be
using it. There are probably some individuals whose health and well-being would not be enhanced
with hydrogen peroxide. But there are also millions of others who are suffering needlessly because
they either do not know about hydrogen peroxide or they have been misinformed about its use.
