I found this interesting article about the health benefits of drinking hydrogen peroxide. The FDA does not approve of this practice, but to me that isn’t necessarily much of a cause for concern – I mean they still insist that Stevia needs to be labeled as a dietary supplement rather than a sweetener and dare I mention all the things they have approved that have killed people?
Either way, I remember hearing that one of the simple keys to a healthy body is to increase oxygen to it. If that means breathing more in or drinking water or eating foods with a lot of water in them – they are all important. This is the basic premise behind the drinking hydrogen peroxide thing. The author mentions…
“Food grade Hydrogen peroxide contains a pure form of oxygen; something that can be used by every cell in the body. By adding food grade hydrogen peroxide to your daily routine, you can increase your oxygen intake. When you increase your oxygen intake, you increase your body’s ability to function at a higher level with respect to digestion, regularity, and immune system function.”
How he adds hydrogen peroxide to water…
“I have been using 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide in my drinking water for over three years. “I add 7.5 ml (1 1/2 teaspoons) of 3% or food grade H2O2 to a gallon of distilled water to make my .006% H2O2 for my drinking water. This formula gives me one gallon of .006% food grade H2O2 drinking water”. I have some clients who add less (1 teaspoon) and some who add more (up to 2 teaspoons – I suggest you never go higher than two teaspoons of H2O2). “
It is also important to note that the article suggests only using FOOD GRADE H2O2…
I am not completely convinced that this is safe, so I probably won’t be trying it soon. But have you tried this? If so let us know in the comments below…

There is some scientific evidence that the world is flat….
It’s just not good science.
JAW
With a little research you can find out how ridiculous this is. It’s basically bleach – the stuff people ingest to suicide. And yeah, people die from this.
Most of the “beneficial” articles suggest ingesting Food Grade peroxide, which is 35%. Even diluted, this will cause the mucous linings of your intestines to basically disintegrate, leading to diarrhea and vomiting. In a small amount of cases embolism is caused by the reaction and production of Oxygen. That means slow and VERY painful death.
Basically, don’t try this at home, kids.
I don’t have experience with ingesting-drinking- the 3% peroxide, but I did notice when using it as a mouth wash when I had some sore gums recently that my constipation disappeared. Just the little residual peroxide left after I spit it out seemed to do this.
It isn’t at all like bleach, bleach is chlorine based. This is a water molecule with an extra oxygen attached. It is produced and used by the body for a number of things. Just don’t use it too concentrated or you can cause some oxidation of tissue. Just like anything, too much has the potential to be harmful.
Any substance can be lethal if too much is consumed so the analogy of H2O2 being the same as bleach is over simplified. We are talking about a very small precise amount added to water. This produces a small to moderate amount of extra oxygen which can benefit any living process. As with any substance that can oxidize bacteria, food or other material it is wise to use an anti-oxidant daily to mop up the by-products of oxidation and minimize cleansing side-effects in the body. Every disease condition has one thing in common, cells that are oxygen deprived. Adding oxygen always helps as long as the body can keep up with the cleansing process.
0.006% H2O2 = 60 mg/l 60 ppm. Max permitted H2O2 content in drinking water based on prEN 902 is 17 mg/l (ppm).
Use SANOSIL SUPER 25 (a product combined peroxide and silver).
Average peroxide content for drinking water is 5 – 10 mg/l (ppm) and the silver content is 2.5 – 5 ppb.
I am encouraged by the research I have done on this topic. I’m wondering if anyone knows if drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide can be added to distilled water and then placed in a thermos to be drunk later in the day, or must the drops be added just before drinking.
I am a very healthy 32yo woman who has been drinking 35% H2O2 (dilluted) for the last three months. I have experienced significant changes in my mood, energy level, mind focus and basically it has made me feel like my body is light, filled with energy and working efficiently. I highly recommend it but DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! God Bless you!
