Re: peroxide - was: Flu & Cold Cure

Thanks, but it's noyt that I'm insecure about peroxide. It's one of the things

I've used all my life. I'm not even as careful as I should be with 35% H202. If

I spill some on me I know I've got enough time to rinse it off before it burns.

But, putting it in my ear is an aspect where I wanted to use the highest

dilution that will work. I figure 3% is safe, but I'd rather use 2% if it will

work. I'm a less-is-more kind of guy most of the time. I decided that if 3% was

safe, I'd try 2% & as long as it bubbles, I won't give it another thought.

The store bought 3% H2O2 has worked in my ears too. If you have a cut

or scrape it might sting but other than that no ill effects here. I

think it did break up some congestion in the ears for me too. It felt

like something was trying to come on so I tried it. Didn't have much

congestion the next day. Going to do it again.

One other guy I told about it was miserable and tried it, said it

helped, no ill effects there either.

Thanks for your help, Jim and you too, List. Appreciate you all.

Blessings,

Zell
