IS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE A MEDICAL MIRACLE

IS IT TRUE THAT FOOD GRADE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE GIVES THE BODY OXYGEN?
AND IS IT TRUE THAT VIRUSES CAN'T LIVE IN A BODY FLOODED WITH OXYGEN?

Thanks, once again, on the information about the Valtrex...more peace of mind Grace.

Regarding my 20 years of HP, all I can say is, too soon old, too late smart.....lesions are gone now thanks to Valtrex, but thanks for clearing this up for others to read also.  I thought I was so smart!!

Sincerely,

Me :)

valtrex is not toxic to the liver or the kidneys. No reason to get any kind of blood work done because of being on it.  You can stay on it for a lifetime if you want. There's a terrific article on the long term safety of the herpes antivirals by dr stephen tyring you can find on pubmed.gov for more reading if you want.

Actually hydrogen peroxide for wound care is no longer recommended at all by the medical establishment.  It actually does more harm to the tissues than good.  Hospitals stopped using it many years ago because of this. It's actually non-chlorine bleach.  Something to think about before using it on your delicate genital skin don't you think?  Also we never recommend popping herpes blisters. It's best to let them break and heal on their own. Popping them increases the risk of bacterial contamination plus it hurts too damn bad!!!!

Hi Grace - looking on this site regarding my Herpes Simplex 2, noticed this one on Hydrogen Peroxide.  Ironically, HP is what I used on my herpes outbreaks for 20 years.  When my blisters were at their peak, so to speak, I would apply HP with tissue and apply pressure until the blisters broke under the tissue and then applied fresh HP on tissue several times.  I just came across this technique on my own, but found it to be really, really helpful and would like to pass on to others.  And yes, it stings extremely bad but also cools the area which helps soothe it.  I recommend this because the blisters are broken in a controlled way (I always worried about scratching and breaking blisters while I slept and covering them would only cause them to irritate and spread more) and because healing time was cut drastically by drying them out and by making the area more sterile.  Have been on Valtrex now for one year and have had no further outbreaks but I am concerned how long it is safe to be on 1000 mg/day for and if I should have my liver checked now and then?  I appreciate all you do on this forum...have waited for you ALL my life....:(  .  Thanks again.

Stay away from dmso - it doesn't work like they try to make you think it does.

I wouldn,t recommend it its quite dangerous( it may be safe to drink but not safe to mix with stomach acid it can cause very bad problems with acid reflux or even eat a hole in your stomach ).With the oxygen thing there is some thing to it but not all that is claimed there are other oxygenation products available also but still have side effects if they are too strong(acid reflux and body chemistry issues).If your trying to get rid of something you will likely worsen you symptoms considerably and have additional problems and be forced to stop before you see any result. The mid oxygenation products are safe but will not do what you want ,they just raise your energy levels.
