If you are considering FG H2O2 for general health support, immune system support or for various infective agents such as bacteria, virus, fungus, Candida or mold, we have a much better product which addresses infective agents, called Living Streams Probiotic.

GRADES OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

Hydrogen peroxide is available in various strengths and grades.

3% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore or supermarket. 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.

6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is not recommended for internal use.

30% Reagent Grade: This is used for various scientific experimentation and also contains stabilizers. It is also not for internal use.

30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and not for internal use.

35% Technical Grade: This is a more concentrated product than the Reagent Grade and differs slightly in that phosphorus is added to help neutralize any chlorine from the water used to dilute it.

35% Food Grade: This is used in the production of foods like cheese, eggs, and whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil lining of aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE...

90%: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel.

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 FG-H2O2.

Recently, a 26 month old female swallowed one mouthful of 35% FG-H2O2. She immediately began vomiting, followed by fainting and respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under emergency room care and although she experienced erosion and bleeding of the stomach and esophagus, she survived the incident. When she was re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).

35% Food Grade FG-H2O2 must be 1) handled carefully (direct contact will burn the skin--immediate flushing with water is recommended). 2) diluted properly before use. 3) stored safely and properly (after making a dilution the remainder should be stored tightly sealed in the freezer).

One of the most convenient methods of dispensing 35% FG-H2O2 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at your local drugstore. Fill this with the 35% FG-H2O2 and store the larger container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until more is needed. Store the eye dropper bottle in the refrigerator.

The generally recommended dosage is outlined in the chart below. The drops are mixed with 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water for best results. Don't use chlorinated tap water to dilute the peroxide. (One can use juice, milk or even Aloe Vera juice or gel if you cannot tolerate the plai water dosage, but this will reduce effectiveness and could make you stomach upset.)

The program outlined is only a suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and reports from thousands of users. Those who choose to go at a slower pace can expect to progress more slowly, but that certainly is an option. The program is not carved in stone and keep in mind that it can be adapted to fit individual needs.

Individuals who have had transplants should not undertake an FG-H2O2 program. FG-H2O2 stimulates the immune system and could possibly cause a rejection of the organ.

In most situations after the above 21 day program, the amount of FG-H2O2 can be tapered off gradually as follows: 25 drops once every other day for 1 week 25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks 25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks

This can then be reduced to between 5 and 15 drops per week based on how one feels.

Those with more serious problems will often benefit from staying on 25 drops three times a day for one to three weeks, then tapering down to 25 drops two times daily until the problem is resolved (possibly as long as six months).

Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis (Please see Living Streams Probiotic for a much stronger product for this) may need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2 drops three times a day before starting the above schedule.

It is important that FG-H2O2 be taken on an empty stomach. This is best accomplished by taking it either one hour before meals or three hours after meals. If there is food in the stomach, the reaction of FG-H2O2 on any bacteria present may cause excess foaming, indigestion, and possibly even vomiting.

Additionally, some animal research indicates that when FG-H2O2 given orally combines with iron and small amounts of vitamin C in the stomach, hydroxyl radicals are created (J Inorg Biochem 89;35(1):55-69).

The bleach-like after-taste of FG-H2O2 can be lessened by chewing one of the sugar-free cinnamon gums.

Some individuals taking FG-H2O2 immediately before bedtime have a difficult time getting to sleep. This is probably due to a sense of alertness triggered by an increase of oxygen at the cellular level.

The oral dosage schedule is basically the same for all conditions. There are several points to keep in mind, however.

Some individuals may experience upset stomach. If this occurs it is recommended that one not stop the program, but rather remain at the current dosage level or reduce it to the previous level until the problem stops. (Some patients have been able to solve the nausea problem by taking three or four lecithin capsules at the same time they take the FG-H2O2.)

During the program it's not uncommon to experience what is known as a healing crisis. As dead bacteria and toxins are released from your body it may temporarily exceed your capacity to eliminate them quickly enough.

In some individuals this overload may cause fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, skin eruptions, cold or flu-like symptoms, and/or nausea. One should not discontinue using the peroxide to stop this cleansing. By continuing the program, toxins will clear the body sooner and this healing crisis will pass rather quickly.
