Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxidizer commonly used as a bleach. It is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. It is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, and in rocketry as a propellant.[2] The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that it is considered a highly reactive oxygen species. Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced in organisms as a by-product of oxidative metabolism. Nearly all living things (specifically, all obligate and facultative aerobes) possess enzymes known as peroxidases, which harmlessly and catalytically decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like mms/sodium chlorite better as an oxidizer versus hydrogen peroxide. MMS is more targeted to pathogens and less harmful to healthy tissues than peroxide which is more indiscriminate and can oxidize healthy tissue and cause injury so it limits the amount you can take which limits the amount of pathogen killing ability. MMS does this by having some sort of attraction and preference to seek out pathogens and destroy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yes, I tried this technique (hydrodgen peroxide in the ears for a few minutes then drain) a couple months ago at the start of a cold and it did seem that about 18 hours later the cold was just about over. Usually my colds linger. I will use it again in the future if/when I feel a cold coming on. ________________________________ To: mscured Sent: Wed, February 2, 2011 9:30:51 AM Subject: RE: Hydrogen peroxide I have tried the H2O2 in the ear treatment with little success. Perhaps it is because I was using old stock. Anyone else try this preventative when you are coming down with a cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
