Top 10 Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide
Two men walk into a bar. One orders H20. The second says, “I’ll have some H20 too.” The second man dies.
REPIN this to save for reference!
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) — the stuff you buy at the drugstore or grocery store — can be used around the house for all kinds of things. In addition to cleaning and fighting infection in boo-boos, it can be used to whiten your teeth, your hair and your clothes. Hydrogen peroxide is considered the world’s safest, all-natural, effective sanitizer. Like ozone, it kills disease and microorganisms by oxidizing them. When hydrogen peroxide reacts with organic material it breaks down into oxygen and water.
The Hydrogen Peroxide we find at the drugstore or market is 3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). 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.
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 H2O2. So, keep out of reach of children! If ingested, call poison control or 911 immediately.
Dr. Akilah El’s Celestial Healing Wellness blog covers dozens of uses for Hydrogen Peroxide.
