The Cheap Fix: Hydrogen Peroxide

Lately I’ve been learning more and more about the magic that is Hydrogen Peroxide. Yep, that dark brown bottle of 3% peroxide that costs $.89 at the drug store. Go buy yourself a case or two.

Here’s why:

- Use it as a fruit and vegetable soak to clean off pesticides.

- You can also use the 50/50 mixture for athlete’s foot. Spray some of the affected area and let it dry.

- Peroxide disinfects. Use it the clean countertops, cutting boards, bathrooms, soak your kitchen sponge, soak toothbrushes, and clean your dishwasher, fridge, and microwave.

- Pour peroxide on fresh wounds and enjoy the show. All that bubbling will kill the infection causing bacteria. (For continued treatment of wounds, we actually recommend that you switch to Tea Tree Oil. Peroxide does not discriminate about what it kills. It will kill the good stuff and the bad stuff. Tea Tree Oil may help the healing process more than peroxide will for that reason.)

- I used to work for a dentist. People would spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars getting their teeth whitened. Don’t waste your money. Take one little capful of peroxide and swish it around in your mouth, spit, and rinse. There will be a lot of bubbling, but each time your teeth will be whiter and whiter. It also kills bad breath.

- Whenever you have a cold or sinus infection make a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and distilled water. Put a few drops in your nose, let it sit for a few seconds (or 30) and blow your nose. Also put a couple of drops in your ears. It will travel to the nasal passages and loosen mucus. You can also gargle with it to sooth sore throats.

- Peroxide will whiten clothes. Add one cup to your laundry instead of polluting the water systems with bleach.

Okay, I’m going to stop there. And I’ve really only touched the tip of the ice burg. Here I’ve given you a few ideas for household uses of hydrogen peroxide. But the list really could go on and on. Hydrogen Peroxide has been used to treat cancer and cure arthritis! It’s been used with much success on degenerative diseases. Growths that can occur in our bodies, like yeast, viruses, and tumors are stopped by the extra atom of nascent oxygen in hydrogen peroxide. Amazing!

Start doing a little research. It may open up a whole new path to health for you.
