Taking hydrogen peroxide internally ?

isaboo — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 15:31:22 GMT

My sister has recently started doing this- the peroxide is specifically for international use. I was just wondering if anyone has heard about this or does it?

As reported by Google, it can be very dangerous.

@isaboo I worked in the natural supplement industry for going on 30 years. H2O2 Therapy was always very popular. We had many many customers who used FOOD GRADE Hydrogen Peroxide for many things including drinking it diluted. It was and is still highly controversial subject. You have those who swear by drinking it....and those who say it is harmful and worthless to consume.

I chose not not to partake in consuming it. Many companies sell diluted sweetened flavored ready to drink bottles....and you can also purchase are it straight where you dilute it yourself. Undiluted it is VERY CAUSTIC and will actually burn holes through material if it spills on anything.

Hopefully your sister is being being careful and following instructions on how to consume safely. It can make you very sick feeling and will foam up out of your stomach...out of your mouth. Those people who partake in consumption say over time these side affects lessen.....

It is diluted?

I think ingesting regular hydrogen peroxide can really be dangerous.

@Bri369 It is 35% FOOD GRADE H2O2. It is Not the same hydrogen Peroxide hat you buy for cuts etc. that is a 3% NON food grade H2O2.

The 35% is Diluted to a 3% dilution and THAT is added IN TO MORE LIQUID....ONLY INGEST MAYBE A teaspoon at at time of the diluted 3% strength.

I am am not an advocate of this...just know a lot about it

Thank you all for the information. Sounds a little scary to me now. I know she got it from a pharmacist and was instructed to star out with very little.

I had a neighbor who went from one ffood fad to another. He went from vegan to caveman beef diet, from some sort of maple syrup diet to another cure that nearly killed him. One of his fads was hydrogen peroxide. He told me how important it was...a special kind that he ordered from somewhere. After watching his loony ideas for 15 years, I then saw him leave his wife and two daughters for a life in Nice France. Bottom line..H2O2 is not a dietary supplement.

@SeaMaiden

If it's FOOD GRADE why are you against it?

And what are the supposed benefits of it?

@Vivian

Did he take turpentine as well?

That seems to have a group of fans, too. Of course, they say it's not the same turpentine that you'd use as a paint thinner....

Re: Taking hydrogen peroxide internally ?

Vivian — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 18:11:28 GMT

KittyLou, I don’t know whether he took turpentine (yuk) but since he now lives in France, I’d guess he might have tried the foie gras-snail diet. He never believed in doctors and when I saw him at his daughter’s college graduation party, he could hardly walk. He said he thought he might need a hip replacement but he would never agree to that. I felt like asking him if he was massaging his hip with Camembert or Brie.

@QueenDanceALot

Intentionally drinking it, a practice that is being embraced by some who believe diluting hydrogen peroxide in water creates a “super water” that can be used to naturally treat various ailments — including sinus infections, arthritis and cancer..... some say it will alkaline the body.

But, Consuming the liquid can burn holes in the esophagus and stomach and can create oxygen bubbles that can be released in the bloodstream. When that happens, the bubbles can travel to the brain and cause seizures and strokelike symptoms.

It is not not something I would ever suggest or do. I was surprised how many customers I waited on raved about ingesting this form of H 2O 2.

@SeaMaiden

Thanks. My first thought when I read about this (just today here!) was that it would burn holes in the digestive tract.

But why is it "Food Grade" if it shouldn't be consumed? Or, more accurately I guess, HOW is it Food Grade if it's dangerous. Is it just Food Grade because it's dilute?

I'm just curious. I have ZERO interest in trying it myself.

@QueenDanceALot Food grade has no stabilizers such as acetanilide, which has some liver toxicity associated with it ,So, the difference is that food grade does not contain any stabilizers, ‘regular’ hydrogen peroxide does contain a stabilizer(s).

Maybe it you talk to them, it will convince her
