Hydrogen peroxide will help those with rheumatoid arthritis because of this.ĭogs and chickens have low catalase levels so they have a poor tolerance to H2O2. In humans, cats and horses catalase is abundant in both the plasma and red cells. Neuroblastoma cells (a brain cancer caused by a virus) were inhibited by H2O2 in some lab experiments. Cancer only grows in low oxygenated areas. Tissues are more sensitive to radiation treatment if the oxygen supply to those tissues is maximized. Note, this does not include Ascorbic Acid which is only one synthetic molecule of the Vitamin C complex-you’d have to use natural forms of Vitamin C like whole foods, rose hips, and Acerola. Vitamin C helps the body produce hydrogen peroxide naturally. Hydrogen peroxide is necessary for the manufacture of certain hormone-like prostaglandins which can help with pain in the body. The PMNs also kill viruses, some parasites and yeast in the same manner. These cells, (called PMN’s or polymorphonucleocites) engulf bacteria, combine oxygen with water to make hydrogen peroxide, and kill the bacteria with an oxygen burst. Hydrogen peroxide is produced by killer cells (a type of white blood cell) in your body. Studies have shown that the tissue oxygen levels with intravenous hydrogen peroxide equaled that of hyperbaric chamber treatment (which are WAY more expensive by the way!)

Hydrogen peroxide has been used for pollen and food allergies, multiple sclerosis, Epstein – Barr virus, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, thyroid disease, stomach ulcers, arteriosclerosis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, arteritis, varicose veins, pneumonia, asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), flu, yeast/Candida, warts and moles, gum disease and bad breath.

Douglass points out in his book that there are over 6,100 articles in the scientific literature dating from 1920 on the scientific applications of hydrogen peroxide. The use of Hydrogen Peroxide is a somewhat controversial topic in the world of alternative medicine, but Dr. Book by William Campbell Douglass, MD © 1996, Book Review by Denice Moffat
