Hi All!

Hydrogen Peroxide For Colds and Flu

I have hydrogen peroxide food grade, 35%, I drink 3

drops in a 8oz glass of water and it keeps me cold

free, I also heard you should use it instead of a

saline solution inhaling through the nose, which I

have not tried yet, I did by the inhaler.

I have got to try this on the ears, sounds like it

really can help. Studies show that colds enter the ear

canal as what this article states, this makes sense.

They are recommending 3% hydrogen peroxide, I would

just dilute it for my 35% solution.

Here's from the link above:

" We have found remarkable results in curing the flu &

cold within 12 to 14 hours when administering a few

drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into each

infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected) The

H2O2 starts working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing

the flu or cold; there will be some bubbling and in

some cases mild stinging occurs.

Wait until the bubbling & stinging subside (usually 5

to 10 min) then drain onto tissue and repeat other

ear. A bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide in 3% solution is

available at any drug store for a couple of dollars.

Although this method is perfectly safe for

infant/children to use, the loud bubbling and stinging

frightens them, they'll need someone they trust to put

the hp in their ears. (don't get h2o2 in the eyes- if

you do, flush with water) "

Thanks to one of your articles in your newsletter

about using peroxide in the ears for flu or colds, my

family and I have had a relatively flu/cold free

winter! We have been exposed to a serious flu in our

area, but have managed to dodge it. Here are some

specifics:

My 6 year old son had kept me up during one night with

coughing and sneezing. By noon the next day he had a

fever. I then remembered recently reading in your

newsletter about using three drops of peroxide in each

ear for 10 minutes. You should have seen his face when

I told him I was going to put peroxide in his ears! He

was nervous, but soon settled down. It bubbled a lot

in both ears. I did only one treatment in each ear,

and from then on, his fever went away and his symptoms

were reduced to the sniffles. That night he slept

well, as did mom. The cold did not return!

There is more to the testimony..

Interesting!
