I’ve long known about hydrogen peroxide’s antibacterial properties. When I was a kid, my mother always had a bottle of Gly-Oxide in the house for cold sores, bitten tongues, and other minor mouth ailments. And since I’m a bit nervous about E. coli and salmonella (long, irrelevant story), I usually have some vinegar and hydrogen peroxide under the kitchen sink for rinsing fruits and vegetables.
Recently, I got a letter from a friend about the fact that both he and his wife had pneumonia that wouldn’t retreat even with a hospital stay and antibiotics. What finally ended the pneumonia was a nebulizer with saline solution and food-grade hydrogen peroxide. MORE
SNIP: I know people who have done this [even before the ‘rona] and have had no side effects. Just have to be sure it’s food grade hydrogen peroxide. [sorry about the amazon link. Whatayagonna do. But, nebulizers are sold there, too. lol ]
I have this in my sick kit arsenal along with 5% Lugol’s Iodine.
And hydrogen peroxide makes a dandy rocket fuel.
I don’t know what to believe. Where’s my mom’s Dr. Spock book??

@Wanna Laugh?: Hooray, and she still is not President!!!!!!!!!
We used to snort peroxide/saline solutions to fight sinus infections when I was a kid. This is nothing new. It just became out of fashion with all the over-the-counter cold remedies.
I clicked to early.
I meant to say “when all the over-the-counter cold remedies became popular.”
Tony, Yes but it has to be 97% pure or better.
The stuff under the sink is 2%.Pure HP with
lit cigarette would blow your head off. Make
bottles of O2 look like a joke…….
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was disappeared from healthcare facilities for many years, then it reappeared a few years later. No official explanation given — at least not widely.
There is deep institutional bias in the FDA, and throughout the medical establishment, against ozone and H2O2. It goes back to the height of the snake oil era, about 100 years ago. There were, and there still are, a lot of false claims made by medical hucksters (yes, pharmaceutical companies can be, and often are, medical hucksters) about ozone and H2O2.
Be that as it may, both ozone and H2O2 are effective against a wide variety of pathogens. Any disinfectant — well, anything — can be dangerous if not used properly.
Both ozone and H2O2 can damage healthy cells if applied in too strong a concentration. They also require a longer period of time to be effective against most pathogens. Ozone and aerosolized H2O2 are safest used when no one is around. They both break down fairly quickly. They can damage material, so that needs to be taken into consideration as well.
I understand why there are objections to inhaling (or injecting) either ozone or H2O2, however, I think that in a medical emergency, when a pathogen needs to be knocked down quickly to keep the body’s immune system from being overwhelmed, such as with pneumonia, meningitis, flesh-eating bacteria, sepsis, etc., doctors should be allowed to use all options available, even if they pose some risk — but then, nearly every treatment poses some risk.
I suffer chronic sinus infections. I often mix H2O2 with my mouthwash, and I put a very, very dilute (note homeopathy dilute) concentration in my saline nasal spray. It keeps things from progressing into my lungs — which is never fun.
Great for getting rid of skunk smell on pets.
1 Pint hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 c. baking soda, 1 tbsp. dish soap. Mix well. Lather the victim and let stand 5 minutes before rinsing.
I keep mine in the bathroom next to the isopropyl and other first aid stuff.
But every single doc raises their eyebrow and tells me it also kills the good cells in my wounds, so only use it for wounds when you have no other choice.
Interestingly, it says it’s good for gargling. Never thought of that. Makes sense. Just don’t swallow it.
One reason I have so much on hand is for when someone suspects a pet may have eaten rat bait. They will definitely empty their stomachs if you force feed them some. Great emergency use. Use a pet medicine syringe that doesn’t have a needle
My ankle injury took a long time to grow the skin back. They gave me Medihoney, a brand of Manuka honey, to keep the open wound from getting infected. Definitely worked. The gel form doesn’t run. Stays put in your wound. Only need a micro layer of it to work, too.

“not”, not “note”. I proofread it a couple of times before posting but it was on my smartphone. I miss the edit option.
Don’t rely on old bottles, it dentures and becomes useless.
Since Covid my dentist has me rinse with hydrogen peroxide first thing when I sit in the chair.
I buy the brown bottle of H2O2 (it was under a dollar). It is 3% and I have a shot glass and put one tsp in it plus 2 tsp of water and gargle and rinse my mouth for one minute after brushing my teeth. It is a great antimicrobial (my dentist uses it) plus it will slightly whiten your teeth! Normal saline spray for your nose. Omicron is an UPPER respiratory virus, very upper. It seems to impact from the throat to the sinuses. I have used the mouthwash since before all this and combined with oral Vitamin D3 and zinc–you will do better against any URIs.
Good information. Wish I had known this earlier as the last 2.5 weeks have a persistent upper respiratory issue. Fit all the descriptions of Omicron but I refused to go to a Doc and have a Chinese swab stuck up my nose. Licorice root tea, an anti-viral, helped a lot.
It is sometimes used when washing clothes as a bleach substitute.
Once, when I was in the dentist’s office getting treated for a gum infection, the dentist left the room for a moment to get something, leaving me and his assistant alone. She leaned close to me (as though she didn’t want the dentist to hear her), and told me that a daily mouthwash of 50% HP and 50% water is an excellent preventative for many oral problems.
I’ve been using 50/50 HP and water as a mouthwash for years now, and I swear by it. Sore throats that used to plague me are a distant, faded memory. I’ve also discovered that this rinse prevents that yellow/brown plaque build up completely!
FWIW
