Hydrogen Peroxide

no, I'll never do it...let us know how it goes when you try it.

what do you do, drink it???? gross...... I use it sometimes to rinse my mouth if I have a canker sore or something, & it's AWFUL.... it just keps foaming up & it tastes so bad. And this is when you spit it out! What is it supposed to do, how is it supposed to help? even the thought of it is making my stomach flip-flop. The only info I found on the internet was that it contributes to motor dysfunction in UC- http://ajpgi.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/286/5/G833  Check that out, I can't even really understand it it's so scientific, but I believe the gist of it is that increased H2O2 levels make UC worse, no????

Um, that's not something I'd ever try. Where did you read these reports that it was helpful? Is it a credible source? And remember, colitis doesn't always mean ulcerative colitis.
I tried to read the article that Eva Lou posted, but my brain just shut down...

I second that does sound bad but each to there own good luck

I'd never swallow it no matter how diluted, but I do sometimes use it as a mouth wash and then I keep rinsing with water until I don't see anymore foam when I spit, it's the main ingredient in whitening your teeth (mind you, eating an apple a day which I also do also whitens your teeth)...I only use peroxide on occassion.

:)

I would never use peroxide that way. I am wondering now even if I should have been messing with taking digestive enyzymes and probiotics without checking with my gastro doctor. As far as I am concerned, how do I know that it doesn't have something to do with causing more problems with colitis? I have gargled hydrogen peroxide and water mixed for a sore throat. It is great at healing that.

Hi, I am currently using 35% hydrogen peroxide orally. I dilute it to 10 drops in a glass of water and drink it. I also use it as a mouthwash. I use a CPAP machine at night that has a humidifier on it and I use 10 drops in it as well. I have only done this for a week, but I find I have much more energy. I am doing research on peroxide right now.

Cant drinking hydrogen peroxide make you go blind?

Is teh article correct - are 'good' bacteria aerobic and bad bacteria anerobic? is it not the other way around or at least i thought the good bacteria were aerobic....

Anyone else got anymore info on this? Nearly everything i've read links UC to bacteria to some extent and this would seem to have a large effect on bacteria one way or the other....

actually my pharmacist told me proxcide was better for your ears then ear drops where. That is what I use to clean the wax buildup in my ears. If it hurts your ear you may have an ear infection.

I would never take a med like that, it isn't FDA approved. You don't know how it will interact with your other meds or what it will do in your system. It is often used to induce vomiting in pets when they have eaten something they shouldn't have.

I certainly wouldn't be against it solely based on the EWWW factor. Most of those using that reasoning surely must have taken medicines or tried other treatments that also have the EWWWW factor. I mean we talk about things here including enemas and fecal transplants. I have never heard of this particular treatment but some arguements for it seem logical, at first glance anyway. I certainly wouldn't try it before investigating it thuroughly. I do this with anything I try. I automatically disqualify any and all information from sources where someone is trying to sell a product, including a book. None of these sources can every be trusted, ever. That means you have to find other information regarding it, solely from independent sources that aren't trying to sell anything. This can often be very hard but, bottom line, if you are relying solely on information only from those trying to sell something, you are making a huge mistake. I once knew a doctor who put his name to a weight loss product without even knowing anything about it, other than the companies sales pitch (which included a decent amount of money). He was basically paid a fee for letting them put his name on a prewritten doctor testimonial. Don't rely on so-called testimonials from anyone, ever. They are nothing but a crock to suck you into buying their product.
