"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
- Thomas Edison

"...we routinely see the blood of patients change color as they improve in their health." - Dr. Donsbach, page 66.

"We know about hydrogen peroxide, but, frankly speaking, we are a profit motivated company and there is no profit in hydrogen peroxide." - Major Drug Company, quoted in McCabe, page 56.

Hydrogen peroxide is water with extra oxygen attached. The formula for water is H2O, and for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2.

In the 1950's, Dr. Reginald Holeman gave cancerous mice hydrogen peroxide in their drinking water. In 60 days the tumors disappeared. - McCabe, page 11.

In the 1980's, Winifred Wirth repeated Dr. Holeman's experiment twice with the same results. - McCabe, page 11.

The response of a tumor to chemotherapy or radiation is directly related to the level of tumor hypoxia. More hypoxia corresponds with greater resistance to treatment as well as increased tendency to metastasize. Testing the level of tumor hypoxia prior to treatment allows dosage of drugs or radiation to be adjusted.

Mice who receive hydrogen peroxide in their drinking water grow much larger and live twice as long. - McCabe, page 34.

3% H2O2 can be added to pets' drinking water at the rate of 1 ounce per quart of non-chlorinated water. - Dr. David Williams.

"We know it is oxygen which does the work of normalizing the joints in arthritis." - Dr. Donsbach, page 37.

Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, author of 450 published medical papers and an associate at the Mayo Clinic for over 60 years...proved over 80 years ago (1914) that bacteria could be found consistently in the lymph nodes that drain joints. He was probably the first scientist to postulate that H2O2 would help arthritis because of its ability to supply oxygen to oxygen-hating organisms causing arthritis (streptococcus viridans). - Dr. Douglass, page 6.

Putrefactive bacteria that break down our body when we die thrive in the absence of oxygen.

Viruses are "anaerobic" creatures which thrive in the absence of oxygen.
- Dr. Kurt Donsbach

Yeast, mold and fungus live in an anaerobic environment.

Most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or H2O2. - Dr. David Williams

Oxygen is FREE. Obtain all you can by ALWAYS using the full capacity of your lungs when you breathe. Slow, deep breathing.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dissolves dental plaque, creates healthy gums, and whitens teeth. A combination of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide makes the best toothpaste.

Add to your bath water one pint to one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide. It invigorates, relieves pain, and stimulates your mind. It reduces stiffness and soreness like no other treatment. We give all our patients a whirlpool bath with the equivalent of one gallon of the 3% in it every other day. - Dr. Donsbach, page 43.

"6 fluid ounces of the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is equivalent to 2 quarts of 3%..." - Dr. Donsbach, page 46.

"Use 6 fluid ounces of the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in a bathtub full of rather warm water. Be sure that the area you have problems with is fully immersed and soak for 20 minutes or more. I have seen joints that are stiff and sore relieved in just a few baths. Skin problems also respond to this form of use, including rashes, eczema, psoriasis, athletes foot, etc." - Dr. Donsbach, page 46.

" ...do not use more than 15 drops (of 35% H2O2) per enema bag of water." - Dr. Donsbach, page 47. (Editor's note: Healthy intestinal and vaginal bacteria are aerobic and will not be harmed by oxygen. In fact, they will appreciate it, whereas their anerobic competition will be destroyed.)

An effective douche or enema solution can be made using 3 tablespoons of three percent H2O2 in one quart of distilled water. - Dr. David Williams

"If you have a respiratory problem, use 12 ounces of the 3% hydrogen peroxide in one gallon of water in a cool mist vaporizer. It will be very beneficial in a wide variety of conditions such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc." - Dr. Donsbach, page 49.

Robert Stroud, the Birdman of Alcatraz, healed birds with hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate. Sodium perborate in water creates hydrogen peroxide. - McCabe, page 11.

Obesity is actually the biggest killer disease. Overweight people are twice as likely to contract a disease. Clean healthy bodies utilize food more efficiently and effectively. Highly oxygenated people require less food. - McCabe, page 87.

When the body lacks sufficient oxygen, then the body adapts. Foods and wastes are incompletely oxidized and a chain reaction towards ill health begins.

A few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the ears may help remove ear infections.

Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse blood transfusions have been saved by hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Their limited blood supply became saturated with oxygen and the hypoxia (lack of oxygen) was removed.

12 drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide in a quart of milk may be an alternative to pasteurization.

"Ozone selectively inhibited the growth of human cancer cells." - Rao Sweet, et al, Science, 1980.

"The FDA won’t spend a dime on ozone research, but they spent over $1 million intimidating, harassing, and persecuting me alone." - Dr. Jonathan Wright

Researchers have found that, for some reason, the addition of copper to peroxide increases the lethality of peroxide on bacteria by 3,000-fold. - Dr. Douglass, page 63.

There is a definite correlation between mental clarity and more oxygen in the blood.

Hypoxemia or, as Olney called it, "blocked oxidation," followed by fermentation of sugar in cells, is the prime factor in malignant, viral, bacterial, and allergic diseases. - Dr. Douglass.

Being able to increase arterial oxygen levels following a stroke can dramatically influence the degree of brain damage. - Dr. David Williams Alternatives November 2001.

"My wife is quite faithful in tending her roses. She sprays them with a very dilute solution - 8 tablespoonfuls of 3% hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of water - and has the finest roses in the neighborhood. You should also spray the ground at the base of your plants. Spray the same solution on cut flowers and add a little to the water to make them last 50% longer." - Dr. Donsbach, page 49.

The friendly aerobic bacteria in your garden soil will be killed by the chlorine in chlorinated water. It is better to water your garden with oxygenated water.

President's Choice "Green" bleach sold by Loblaw's contains no chlorine. The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. The label describes the product as "color-safe, active oxygen bleach".

Chlorination of drinking water removes oxygen. Cooking and over-processing of our foods lowers their oxygen content.
- Dr. David Williams, Alternatives, June 1992.

Dr. Johanna Budwig of Germany has shown that for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. - Dr. David Williams, Alternatives, June 1992. (Use flax oil in your salad dressing to get the omega-3 essential fatty acids recommended by Dr. Johanna Budwig)

Oxygen and Cancer pt. 2

The brighter red the color of your blood, the more oxygen it carries. The darker its color, the less oxygen it carries.

Arterial blood is generally a brighter red because it has recently passed through the lungs. Venous blood is generally a darker red because it has passed through the capillaries where the oxygen is transferred from the blood to the tissues.

"All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen - a rule without exception." - Dr. Otto Warburg, quoted in Philpott, page 74.

Deprive a cell 60% of its oxygen and it will turn cancerous. - McCabe, page 192. Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous. - Dr. Otto Warburg. Read Dr. Warburg's papers in the Library: Lecture 1, Lecture 2.

When the oxygen saturation of blood falls, conditions become ripe for the creation of cancer. Oxygen is removed from the arterial blood as it passes through the capillary system. If arterial blood is deficient in oxygen or if the blood flow is restricted by blocked arteries, then tissues oxygenated by the latter stages of the capillary system may be so deprived of oxygen as to become cancerous.

The oxygen transport system from the lungs to the cells can be interrupted at numerous points, and so there are many opportunities to deny oxygen to cells. Also, there are many ways that cells and their mitochondria can be directly damaged, thereby reducing the cells' ability to utilize the oxygen that is available.

Normal Metabolism vs. Cancer Metabolism

"The fuel on which the body's cells run is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP must be created by all cells, including cancer cells, for energy. The biochemical process in which ATP is created is called oxidation phosphorylation and is oxygen-dependent. Healthy cells require the conditions of alkalinity and high molecular oxygen (O2) to produce ATP and function properly. In contrast, non-oxygen-respiratory organisms - like cancer cells - make ATP by fermentation phosphorylation, which requires the conditions of acidity and low oxygen to function, and actually produces additional acids." - Philpott, page 75.

Cellular Respiration

The human body's main fuel is a simple sugar called glucose. Glucose comes from the plants we eat. Through photosynthesis, plants use light energy to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy --> glucose + oxygen

6CO2 + 6H2O + energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Plants then use the glucose to create cellulose and complex carbohydrates. When we eat the plants, the complex carbohydrates are broken down by our digestive system into glucose. Then this food energy is converted to chemical energy by a series of reactions known as cellular respiration. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen.

Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

This reaction occurs in mitochondria in cells. Aerobic respiration extracts the maximum amount of energy from glucose, because the molecule is completely broken down.

When the supply of oxygen is insufficient, there is a back-up system known as anaerobic respiration, that can release energy without oxygen.

Glucose --> lactic acid + energy

This reaction occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It does not put any extra pressure on the respiratory or circulatory systems, because it does not produce carbon dioxide, but it can cause muscle stiffness after exercise. Cancer cells have either wholly or partially switched to anaerobic respiration. Enzymatic decomposition of glucose in the absence of oxygen is also known as "fermentation", though in humans the end result is the production of lactic acid, not alcohol, because we lack the enzymes to produce alcohol.

"The ideal task of cancer therapy is to restore the function of the oxidizing systems in the entire organism." - Dr. Max Gerson, page 7.

Aerobic cellular respiration creates as many as 36 ATP molecules from each glucose molecule, and anaerobic respiration creates only 2 ATP molecules. Anaerobic respiration releases one eighteenth of the available energy. Cancer cells must feel very tired!

For more information regarding cellular respiration, see Hydrazine Sulphate and cancer and oxygen. Also, you can do a search of the Internet for subjects such as cellular respiration, cellular biology and ATP, fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, cellular metabolism and fermentation, adenosine triphosphate, healthy mitochondria, Dr. Otto Warburg, etc.



Causes of Cellular Damage

There are many things that can damage a cell and its mitochondria. These include oxygen deprivation, nutritional imbalances, physical trauma, toxic chemicals, allergic reactions, radiation, infections, parasites, and more. If the injury harms the mitochondria, thereby interfering with the production of ATP, then this can cause significant damage to the cell because ATP is needed for important cellular processes such as membrane transport, lipogenesis and protein synthesis. With damaged mitochondria, for its very survival the cell has no choice but to revert to the more primitive system of anaerobic respiration that is characteristic of cancer cells. Sometimes the damage is reversible, in which case the cell can be healed. Sometimes the damage is irreversible, and a way must be found to destroy the cell. Also, the causes of harm to the cells must be removed to prevent repeated damage or damage to additional cells. For more information, do an Internet search for mitochondrial damage, tissue injury, etc.

Nutrients for Healthy Mitochondria

Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration and energy production, but it must be carefully handled within the cell or the mitochondria will be damaged. Five nutrients necessary to restore and maintain healthy mitochondria are:

L-carnitine - for the proper oxidation of fats within cells
Coenzyme Q10 - is necessary for the synthesis of ATP, and prevents free radical damage within the cell
Alpha lipoic acid - helps regenerate vitamins E and C after they are oxidized
Vitamin E - protects cell membranes from free radical damage. Non-Synthetic Vitamin E
Vitamin C - inhibits the oxidation of cholesterol and supports production of the antioxidant glutathione.
Dr. Stephen Sinatra frequently writes about these nutrients in his newsletter. These nutrients should be available in your local health food store. His website is www.DrSinatra.com.

***

Vitamin C is needed for the synthesis of carnitine, which is required for long-chain fatty acids to enter mitochondria where they are used for energy production. - Annals of Internal Medicine 114:909-910, 1991. Most cancer patients are deficient in vitamin C.

The conversion of vitamin C into carnitine takes place in the liver. If you have cancer, your liver is probably not functioning properly. There are things you can do to restore liver health.

Read more about healthy mitochondria.

***

Cellular Metabolism is Controlled by Thyroid Hormones

The rate of cellular metabolism and energy production is regulated by thyroid hormones. These hormones are deficient in many people because their body has insufficient iodine to produce them. The result is fatigue, depression, overweight, dry skin, cold hands or feet, hair loss, brittle nails, puffy eyes, constipation, brain damage and a lower IQ. There is a simple way to correct iodine deficiency that you can read about here.

However, even if you have enough iodine, you may still have insufficient thyroid hormones due to the presence of iodine blockers in your diet. Chlorine and fluoride are iodine blockers commonly added to municipal drinking water. These chemicals compete with the uptake of iodine and slow the production of essential thyroid hormones. Certain foods have the same effect, such as soy products that can interfere with the absorption and assimilation of iodine. For healthy cellular metabolism, you need a healthy thyroid gland producing abundant thyroid hormones.

Also, a diet high in nucleotides will increase cellular metabolism and the production of energy. Essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6 in equal quantities) increase oxidation, energy levels, and stamina. There are other suggestions in our discussion of physical exercise.




Oxygen vs. Cancer

"I have been so impressed with the results of the use of hydrogen peroxide that every cancer patient receives infusions of the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide / DMSO mixture throughout their entire stay...it should be apparent where I rank hydrogen peroxide, since this is the only substance I use in EVERY cancer patient." - Dr. Donsbach, pages 39-40.

We have now administered over 30,000 infusions of hydrogen peroxide without a problem. - Dr. Donsbach, page 32.

"Tumor cells, bacteria, and other unwanted foreign elements in the blood can usually be destroyed with hydrogen peroxide treatment. Peroxide has a definite destructive effect on tumors, and, in fact, cancer therapy may prove to be the most dramatic and useful place for peroxide therapy." - Dr. Douglass, page 4.

"The Baylor team reasoned that if they put oxygen into the tumor mass by injecting H2O2 into the tumor, the tumor would be much more receptive to X-ray destruction. They studied a total of 190 patients using hydrogen peroxide infused into the artery leading to the tumorous cancer. The experiment took six years. Their results were astounding." - Dr. Douglass, pages 30-31.

"Peroxide may be the greatest breakthrough we've ever had for brain tumors. Surgery destroys brain tissue, and chemotherapy for brain neoplasms is just plain quackery." - Dr. Douglass, page 63.

"Both therapies (hydrogen peroxide and photoluminescence) should be given for maximum results in treating cancer." - Dr. Douglass, page 80.

Hydrogen peroxide is water with extra oxygen attached. The formula for water is H2O, and for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. Another name for hydrogen peroxide would be hydrogen dioxide.


Lack of oxygen and high levels of acidity go together. One reason for this: "In the electron transport scheme during oxidative metabolism, electrons are transferred along a set of electron acceptors, ending up, ultimately with the combination of hydrogen and oxygen to form water. However, when there is an oxygen deficiency, the loss of electrons can result in the accumulation of positive hydrogen ions, which lead to blood acidification." - Sandra Goodman, PhD, Germanium - The Health and Life Enhancer, Chapter 4. You can read her book on the Internet here: http://www.positivehealth.com/permit...m/chapter4.htm

People with various degenerative diseases are sometimes found to have low venous oxygen saturation. With proper care, the venous oxygen saturation level rises and their health & vitality improve dramatically.

Arterial oxygen saturation should be very high. "High O2 tensions were lethal to cancer tissue, 95% being very toxic, whereas in general, normal tissue were not harmed by high oxygen tensions. Indeed, some tissues were found to require high O2 tensions...", J.B. Kizer, quoted in McCabe, page 82. An "Oximeter" device to measure your blood oxygen level is available from www.rgarden.com for $380.

Daily Humming is Good For You

During humming, the gas exchange between the nasal passages and the sinuses is 98 percent, almost a complete exchange. During normal exhalation, without humming, the gas exchange rate is only 4 percent.

Poor gas exchange and poor circulation in the sinus cavities create a good environment for bacterial growth. Researchers suggest that daily humming could help reduce the incidence of sinusitis and upper respiratory infections.

Also, sinuses are major producers of nitric oxide, which helps dilate capillaries and increase blood flow. When nitric oxide levels are measured during humming, researchers find that they are 15 times higher than during normal breathing.

- Am J Respir Crit Care Med 02;166(2):131-2


Increasing the oxygen saturation of the blood and tissues can be approached from a number of different directions simultaneously:

1. Fresh air. Increase the amount of oxygen in the air you breathe by allowing fresh air into every room of your home, office and transportation. Open the windows. Install a Heat Recovery Ventilation System (HRVS) or Energy Recovery Ventilation System. By connecting the HRVS into your furnace ducts, you can provide temperature moderated fresh air to the entire home economically in every season.

2. Breathe deeply. Improper breathing causes oxygen deficiency. Use the full capacity of your lungs by expanding both the chest and lower abdomen. Pause for a few seconds between each inhalation and exhalation. Practice deep breathing for a few minutes every day. If you feel depressed, try breathing more deeply (Other suggestions for fighting depression may be found on our Sunlight page.). Learn Pranayama (comfortable breathing exercise) and practice for a few minutes before meditating.

3. Aerobic exercise increases the capacity of the heart to pump blood and increases the capacity of the lungs.

4. Eat smaller nutrient-dense meals (no empty-calorie junk food). Overeating causes oxygen deficiency. Do you feel tired after a big meal? Vitamin F increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the hemoglobin (red blood cells). Eat fresh foods and avoid decomposing (rotten) foods. Eat an alkaline diet and create an alkaline condition in the body.

5. Follow Dr. Dean Ornish's 4 step program to clean out your arteries (low fat vegetarian diet, exercise, non-smoking, meditation). Clean arteries will maximize the amount of oxygen-rich blood reaching the tissues.

6. Antioxidants help the body use oxygen more efficiently. Antioxidants include MAK, Alkaline Water, Microhydrin, Raja's Cup coffee substitute, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) which is found in the greenest plants, co-enzyme Q10, organic germanium (a trace mineral), thioctic acid, taheebo/pau d'arco, vitamin C, Non-Synthetic Vitamin E, vitamin A, retin-A (a form of vitamin A), ginseng. Wheat germ is a good source of vitamin E. Oxy-Powder contains organic germanium as one of its ingredients.

7. Avoid carbon monoxide (vehicle exhaust, fumes from gas stoves & heaters) that reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Fluoride also interferes with oxygen uptake (Donsbach, page 30). Alcohol and drugs rob the body of oxygen because the body must oxidize these substances during the process of their removal (McCabe, pages 86-87).

8. Consume supplementary oxygen from other sources such as oxygenated drinking water, fresh foods and juices, magnesium oxide, magnesium dioxide, magnesium peroxide, magnesium hydroxide ("milk of magnesia"). "We also know that when H2O2 is taken into the body (orally or intravenously) the oxygen content of the blood and body tissues increases dramatically." - Dr. David Williams.

9. Bathe in oxygenated water. Add one pint to one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide to your bath water and soak in it. Be sure your bath water is free of chlorine (chlorine causes cancer). You can remove the chlorine by putting a filter on the shower head and fill the tub via the shower.

10. Practice EWOT therapy. Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is doing light exercise, such as on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, while breathing pure oxygen. EWOT produces the benefits of intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy and you can do it at home. Set the O2 flow at 6 liters per minute, hook the little tube to your nose, and exercise at a moderate pace for 15 minutes while breathing pure oxygen. As part of your cancer prevention and health maintenance program, you can do this once a month. If you are ill with any disease, do EWOT more frequently. In particular, do EWOT after operations, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, x-rays, and burns. - Dr. William Campbell Douglass.

Bottled oxygen is generally a prescription item. However, you can purchase for home use an "oxygen concentrator" such as is used in "oxygen bars". Do an Internet search for suppliers of this device.

11. Practice hyperthermia. Hyperthermia increases circulation and removes toxins from the body via excessive sweating. One way carcinogens cause cancer is by attaching to cell membranes, thereby suffocating the cell even when adequate oxygen is otherwise available.

12. Intravenous hydrogen peroxide is inexpensive, safe and easy for a physician to administer (Altman, page 2). Also, with the help of a physician, you might try UBI (ultraviolet blood irradiation) therapy, which can produce a 50% increase in venous oxygenation within 10 minutes. This oxygenation is in the blood plasma, as there is no change in the number of red cells. - Dr. William Campbell Douglass (See Dr. Douglass's books in the recommended reading list below).

Using Diluted 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Internally

Mix a few drops of 35% H2O2 into a glass of water. Take on an empty stomach (the oxygen will react with the food in the stomach), one hour before a meal or at least 3 hours after a meal.

Start with one drop of hydrogen peroxide 3 times per day. On the second day, increase to two drops 3 times per day. On the third day, increase to three drops three times per day. Increase in this manner each day until you reach 25 drops 3 times per day or the limit of your comfort. If your stomach gets upset at any level, go back one level. Hydrogen peroxide has an obnoxious taste and few people reach 25 drops.

When free of your health complaints, taper off by reducing your daily dosage. A good maintenance dose is a total of 1 - 2 drops per day.

- Dr. Donsbach, pages 44-45.

Editor's note: With hydrogen peroxide, more is not necessarily better. Moderation is the key.

***

Using Magnesium Peroxide Internally

For oral ingestion, however, I now believe the product of choice to be magnesium peroxide, and it may have even more to offer. The oxygen content is more stable than that in hydrogen peroxide and when it is chemically reduced, it leaves a very beneficial mineral, magnesium, as oxygen is released.

Comparison
% Oxygen Waste Product Taste Stability
H2O2 94% Water Metallic Fair
MgO2 57% Magnesium Pleasant Good


I choose to use hydrogen peroxide for infusion purposes and external use and a combination of hydrogen peroxide and magnesium peroxide for oral ingestion.
- Dr. Donsbach, pages 3-8.

Editor's note: For more information, do an Internet search for hydrogen peroxide and magnesium peroxide(MgO2). You also might want to consider magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2 commonly known as "milk of magnesia". Magnesium hydroxide is made by adding magnesium oxides to water. Evaporating the water reverses the process with the result being the white powder of magnesium oxides, suggesting that milk of magnesia might be an economical and readily available source of the magnesium peroxide that Dr. Donsbach recommends. There is also an excellent product called "Oxy-Powder" that you might want to read about.

magnesium oxide(s) + water --> magnesium hydroxide
magnesium hydroxide --> magnesium oxide(s) + water

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

***

You should also be aware that there are now numerous hydrogen peroxide products on the market. Some are simply peroxide that has been flavored and mixed with sea minerals, aloe vera, inner tree bark or other ingredients to make the peroxide more palatable (Superoxy, Oxy Toddy, etc.) Other claim to have developed products that deliver more oxygen than does simple hydrogen peroxide (Aerox, Anti-Oxid-10, Di-Oxychloride, Aerobic 07, Aqua Pure, etc.). Basically you'll end up paying a small fortune and at best achieving the same results you can get for pennies by using hydrogen peroxide. - Dr. David Williams.




Oxygen vs. Disease

Hydrogen peroxide "has a stimulatory and regulatory effect on the immune system and may either directly or indirectly kill viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast, fungi, and a variety of other harmful organisms. Our studies demonstrate a positive metabolic effect of an intravenous infusion of hydrogen peroxide." - Charles H. Farr, M.D., PhD. In Altman, page XI.

"Peroxide is certainly a universal agent which can almost always be tried for an illness, often with great success." - Dr. Douglass, page 154.

"The use of (intravenous) hydrogen peroxide was reported in 1920 during the influenza epidemic. Although excellent response was noted, there was no follow-up...I started primarily because I felt this was the perfect answer for Systemic Candidiasis, a condition which has resisted the best drugs and diets ever devised...All viruses are inhibited by a high oxygen environment." - Dr. Donsbach, pages 31, 42.

"We're just beginning to learn exactly how H2O2 works. It has been reported to work as far back as 1920. The English medical journal Lancet then reported that intravenous infusion was used successfully to treat pneumonia in the epidemic following World War I. In the 1940's, Father Richard Willhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide use, reported on the compound being used extensively to treat everything from bacterial-related mental illness, to skin disease and polio. [Father Willhelm is the founder of "Educational Concern for Hydrogen Peroxide" (ECHO), an non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on the safe use and therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide.]" - Dr. David Williams.

"Oxygen will destroy malaria." - McCabe, page 18.

In 1920, intravenous hydrogen peroxide cut the death rate from pneumonia in half. - McCabe, page 41.

Intravenous hydrogen peroxide is helpful with pulmonary disease, gangrene, arterioslerosis, aids, flu, asthma. - McCabe, page 44-46.

"One ounce of 35% hydrogen peroxide (per gallon of water) in a vaporizer every night in an emphysemic's bedroom, and they will breathe freer than they have breathed in years! I do this for my lung cancer patients." - Donsbach quoted in McCabe, page 59. (While most conditions respond remarkably to oral ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a godsend. - Dr. David Williams, Alternatives, June 1992.) Contact International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation to find a doctor in your area who can provide this procedure.

"Put four ounces of 35% peroxide in a gallon of water. Run a cold humidifier in your bedroom all night with this mixture." - Dr. Douglass, page 64.

Gargle with 3% hydrogen peroxide for a sore throat. - McCabe, page 55.

"For mouth freshness in the morning, rinse with three percent hydrogen peroxide." - Dr. Douglass, page 58.

For many uses, the hydrogen peroxide is diluted to 1 1/2% or even 3/4% or less. - McCabe, page 57.

Hydrogen peroxide nasal mist cleans pockets of infection from the sinuses. "Take the drugstore variety, which is three percent; dilute it 50 percent with water and put five to ten drops in each nostril - sniff it up vigorously (it will burn a little). Do this twice daily and see if it helps. If it doesn't, then your problem is not your sinuses." - Dr. Douglass, page 61.

3% H2O2 can be used full strength as a foot bath for athlete's foot. Diabetics have found relief from circulation problems by soaking their feet in 1 pint of 3% peroxide mixed with 1 gallon of warm, non-chlorinated water for 30 minutes nightly. - Dr. David Williams.

Hydrogen peroxide has been used in the treatment of heart and blood vessel diseases (including arrhythmias, stoppage, heart disease, stroke and memory loss, angina, gangrene, inflammation, vascular and cluster headaches), pulmonary diseases (asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia), infectious diseases (acute and chronic viral infections, bacterial infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, herpes, shingles, influenza, parasitic infections, candida), immune disorders (adult onset diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, hypersensitivity reactions), and other diseases (Alzheimer's, cancers, chronic pain, migraine headaches, Parkinson's disease). - Altman, page 18 - 19. Editor's note: Some cancers may be caused by infections, including fungal infection. Oxygen is a treatment for fungal infection.

The following is only a partial listing of conditions in which H2O2 therapy has been used successfully (Dr. David Williams, Alternatives, June 1992):Allergies Altitude Sickness Alzheimer's
Anemia Arrhythmia Asthma
Bacterial Infections Bronchitis Cancer
Candida Cardiovascular Disease Cerebral Vascular Disease
Chronic Pain Diabetes Type II Diabetic Gangrene
Diabetic Retinopathy Digestion Problems Epstein-Barr Infection
Emphysema Food Allergies Fungal Infections
Gingivitis Headaches Herpes Simplex
Herpes Zoster HIV Infection Influenza
Insect Bites Liver Cirrhosis Lupus Erythematosis
Multiple Sclerosis Parasitic Infections Parkinsonism
Periodontal Disease Prostatitis Rheumatoid Arthritis
Shingles Sinusitis Sore Throat
Ulcers Viral Infections Warts
Yeast Infections


Complementary nutrients to take with hydrogen peroxide and help increase oxygenation in the body include coenzyme Q10, organic germanium, niacin, vitamin E, flax oil, lecithin and acidophilus.

High levels of hydrogen peroxide are found naturally in breast milk and colostrum. One of its main functions is to activate and stimulate the immune system. Dr. Charles Farr has shown that hydrogen peroxide stimulates enzyme systems throughout the body. (Proceedings of the International Conference on Bio-Oxidative Medicine 1989, 1990, 1991.)

Vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide. Lactobacilli found in the colon and vagina produce hydrogen peroxide. This destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections and a host of other common ailments. (Infect Dis News Aug.8, 91:5.)

"Hydrogen peroxide is one of the few simple miracle substances still available to the public. Its safety and multiple uses ranks it right up there with DMSO. If you've never used either of these compounds you're overlooking two of the most powerful healing tools ever discovered." - Dr. David Williams.


The 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) available in grocery stores and drug stores contains stabilizers (such as phenol, acetanilide, sodium stanate and Tetrasodium phosphate). This hydrogen peroxide is for external use only, not for internal consumption. It is OK for brushing the teeth, gargling and as a mouth wash, providing you rinse your mouth after.

The 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is for internal consumption and can be diluted for intravenous application.

Other grades of hydrogen peroxide include 6% used by beauticians and contains bleach, 30-32% electronic grade used for washing electronic parts, 35% technical grade which contains a small amount of phosphorous, and 90% used as a source of oxygen in rocket fuel.

Hydrogen Peroxide and Ozone in Nature

The earth's atmosphere is surrounded by the "ozone layer". Ozone (O3) is created when radiation from outer space interacts with oxygen in the atmosphere.

O3 is heavier than O2 and tends to fall toward the earth. As it enters lower levels of the atmosphere it encounters water vapor and forms hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Rain water contains a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide and this acts as a natural disinfectant in rivers and lakes. All living things are adapted to take in a small quantity of hydrogen peroxide in their diet, and even produce hydrogen peroxide as part of their immune functioning. However, it requires energy for the body to create hydrogen peroxide and so a sick person may be deficient.

Hydrogen peroxide in water is very stable and as the rain water flows into the ocean the hydrogen peroxide ends up in the ocean. As water evaporates, hydrogen peroxide evaporates and will survive steam distillation. In this manner, hydrogen peroxide travels around the natural hydrological cycle, acting as a natural disinfectant in the ecosphere. However, with increased pollution, the levels of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in the air and rainwater are decreasing.

Clean Drinking Water

30 parts per million is the concentration of hydrogen peroxide used to sanitize drinking water. Peroxide application is best accomplished by a metering device that keeps the application constant and thorough. - Dr. Donsbach, pages 53- 54.

Hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet light are a simple and effective combination for drinking water sanitation. A combination of ozone and ultraviolet light is also effective, though more complex. As an added benefit, these methods of purifying drinking water will kill parasites such as cryptosporidium that are not destroyed by chlorine. Some cities in Europe have been purifying their drinking water with ozone since 1901.

"Ultraviolet light has been used in disinfection for many years and is, in fact, still used for that purpose. Any contaminated object, whether it be surgical instruments, bedding, room air, the human skin, or bodily fluids such as blood, can be cleansed rapidly of viruses and bacteria." Dr. William Campbell Douglass, page 11.

The use of ultraviolet light to disinfect air could be used to good advantage in day care centers, school classrooms, hospice dormatories and other situations where people are sharing the same air. The spread of antibiotic resistant respiratory infections such as tuberculosis could be reduced by this technology.

***

Dr. Douglass notes that UV light can disinfect air. This technology could easily purify air recirculating in airline cabins, helping to prevent the rapid global spread of airborne infections. The present situation is highly irresponsible.

According to Dr. David Williams, airlines are "traveling disease factories". A survey found up to 41% of the passengers carrying some kind of respiratory infection and some people were found to be traveling with temperatures of 100 degrees F or more. "Airlines are the perfect incubators for the replication and spread of pathogens", writes Dr. Williams, due to the constant recycling of air in the passenger cabin. "It's easy to see how one passenger with a respiratory infection could infect an entire planeload of passengers."

"Crashes and terrorists continue to frighten many people away from flying, but the hidden health risks associated with air travel should be more of a concern." - Dr. David Williams




Swimming Pools

"The therapeutic pool at Hospital Santa Monica uses only hydrogen peroxide as a purifying agent. Our office has been inundated with calls from homeowners who want to use hydrogen peroxide in their swimming pools. It seems that many are now tired of the chlorine which is a known health hazard. The average pool will require about eight gallons to begin with, then adding from one-half to one gallon per week to maintain a 30 parts per million concentration. This can easily be measured by using test strips available from...

You will have sparkling clear water, there will be no growth on the sides of the pool and, more important, you will not have red eyes from the irritation of the heavy amounts of chlorine in the pool water nor will your body be absorbing this dangerous chemical when you swim in it. NOTE: It has been estimated that full body contact for twenty minutes with chlorine-saturated water will allow absorption equivalent to drinking two quarts of the same water."
- Dr. Donsbach, pages 48-49.

You can find other suppliers of peroxide test strips by doing an internet search for "peroxide strips ppm".




Farm Use

Adding 30 ppm hydrogen peroxide to drinking water on farms causes:

- chickens do not get avian flu
- egg production goes up
- chickens taste better
- soaking decontaminates salmonella from broiler carcasses
- turkeys weigh more on less feed
- turkeys have lower mortality rate
- hog meat is more lean and higher grade
- reduce or eliminate need for antibiotics
- increased milk production and butterfat content, decreased bacteria count
- less mastitis
- foliar spray for crops

Other uses on farms (at varying concentrations):
- udder wash
- pipeline, milk can, & bulk tank rinse
- converts crop residues into animal feed (soak crop residue in 1% solution for 16 hours to break down fiber so it can be assimilated)
- power wash for barns, spray on floors & walls and leave until foaming subsides, then rinse
- disinfect water on fish farms
- reduced fungal growth on fish
- fish packed in ice made from oxygenated water are better preserved
- produce sprayed with oxygenated water lasts longer

Hydrogen peroxide is just water and oxygen. It is harmless and will not show up on a chemical residue test. The same 30 ppm is used for all farm animals and results in increased oxygen levels in the blood and cells.
- Dr. Donsbach, page 66.

***

Increase crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide. Use 5 to 16 ounces of 35% mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre. For houseplants use one ounce of 3% per quart of water or 16 drops of 35% solution per quart of water.
- Dr. David Williams




Caution

For bulk application in swimming pools, drinking water and farm usage, 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is available from chemical suppliers in 30 gallon drums or larger drums. If mistaken for water and swallowed, the 35% hydrogen peroxide can cause intense vomiting. If the vomit is inhaled into the lungs, death can result.

Keep out of the eyes. It can cause blindness! Contact of 35% hydrogen peroxide with the skin can cause the skin to whiten and sting. Flush immediately with water to dilute and remove the hydrogen peroxide. - Dr. Donsbach, page 50- 51.




"Recent advances in ozone manufacture and technology have created a great interest on my part in using humidified ozone by rectal insufflation. The methodology allows repeated treatment during the day without invasive procedures such as required to give an intravenous infusion.
- Dr. Donsbach, page 66.

It is essential that ozone generators do not produce electrical arcing, which creates nitrogen oxides that are highly toxic. - McCabe, page 92.




"There are over 6,100 articles in the scientific literature dating from 1920 on the scientific applications of hydrogen peroxide. It seems inconceivable that the astounding medical cures reported in science journals over the past 75 years could have been ignored." - Dr. Douglass, page 19.

"Unlike expensive pharmaceuticals, surgery, and other advanced medical modalities, these simple therapies are not going to fill the pockets of physicians, drug companies, and hospitals. Since those interests - primarily through professional, trade, and political action organizations - influence the direction of health care policy in this country, future research in bio-oxidative therapies will probably not be initiated by them. The future of alternative therapies like ozone and hydrogen peroxide is in the hands of the health-care consumer." - Altman, page 9.




Fermentation and Cancer

The ideal task of cancer therapy is to restore the function of the oxidizing systems in the entire organism. This, of course, is difficult to accomplish. It involves the following: 1) detoxification of the whole body, 2) providing the essential mineral contents of the potassium group, 3) adding oxidizing enzymes continuously as long as they are not reactivated and built in the body...This will create a near normal condition of the oxidizing system in the body, to which malignant cells with the fermentation system cannot adapt. - Dr. Max Gerson, page 7.

Gaston Naessens invented an incredible microscope that allows living tissue to be seen at much higher levels of magnification (30,000X, compared to 1,800X with a classical microscope). His microscope uses light with a very short wavelength to illuminate the object, and then this light is converted to frequencies visible to the human eye.

Hidden within the blood plasma he found tiny bodies he named "somatids". These somatids are observed to change from one form to another in a regular cycle. In a healthy person the somatids have a three stage cycle. In an unhealthy person the somatids have a 16 stage cycle.

The critical impetus between stages three and four that starts the unhealthy cycle is fermentation. This fermentation is the result of sub-cellular trauma that can be produced in many ways including exposure to chemical pollution, radiation, accidents, shocks, depressed psychological states, etc.

The 13 unhealthy somatid stages include forms identical to bacteria, yeast (fungus), and fibrous material (what tumors are made of). Bacteria can come from the outside or be internally generated and are not necessarily the cause of disease. Rather the bacteria are the result of disease, and the disease actually exists on a more subtle level, on the level of the somatids and the biological imbalance that permits the unhealthy forms of somatids to thrive.

By studying the blood of healthy people and people with various diseases, Naessens found that he could predict diseases the healthy people were going to get based on the condition of their somatids.

In traumatized animals, the somatids become highly active and begin to destroy the bodies of their hosts.

Naessens has become famous for treating diseases by monitoring the somatids to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. He has successfully treated many thousands of cases of cancer, aids and other diseases.

Somatids are fundamentally electrical in nature. Their nuclei is positively charged and the membrane coating their exterior is negatively charged. "Somatids are actually tiny living condensers of energy, the smallest ever found."

Dr. Robert Beck, the inventor of several electro-medicine devices, tells how people using his devices visited a medical practitioner using the dark-field microscope invented by Gaston Naessens. The blood samples taken from the electro-medicine treated individuals were perfect. Furthermore, the blood cells were virtually immortal. When the microscope slides were sealed around the edges with vaseline so that the blood could not dry, the cells remained alive and healthy for many weeks. Ordinary red blood cells begin to decompose within four hours.

The optical microscope developed by Royal Raymond Rife in the 1920s and 1930s also magnified living tissue about 30,000X. With his microscope, Rife was able to directly observe tiny organisms much smaller than bacteria that he isolated from cancer tumors, and the effect of various frequencies of electromagnetism (light) on these organisms. In this manner he was able to find a frequency that killed them. Using only light, he was able to cure cancer and many other diseases. Cancer patients were exposed to light of a certain frequency for three minutes every three days. After three months, fourteen of sixteen terminal cancer patients were fully recovered. Other diseases that could be cured by this method included tuberculosis, typhoid, leprosy, and hoof-and-mouth disease.

The tiny cancer-causing organisms could be isolated from tumors, cultured, injected into healthy animals where new tumors would form, and then be isolated once again from the new tumors. When placed onto plant tissue, it developed into fungus. Under certain circumstances, the cancer-causing organisms would transform themselves into bacillus coli, a common intestinal bacteria. The ability of an organism to change from one shape or size to another is called pleomorphism.

In the 1950s, Dr. Florence B. Seibert, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania was able to isolate pleomorphic bacteria from cancer tumors, and also from blood samples from patients with varying types of leukemia.

"One must always consider that most malignancies are accompanied by an immuno-deficiency...Therefore, we could be dealing with a microbe that finds such a host merely a suitable environment for habitation." - Dr. Lida H. Mattman

"It was the chemical constituents and chemical radicals of an organism which enacted upon the unbalanced cell metabolism of the human body to produce disease...We have in many instances produced all the symptoms of a disease chemically in experimental animals without the inoculation of any virus or bacteria into their tissues." - Royal Raymond Rife.

***

Candidiasis is caused by an overgrowth of a yeast-turned-fungus, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is associated with a virus (Epstein Barr Virus)...The fact is both Candidiasis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are very responsive to the use of hydrogen peroxide and thousands of individuals have had fantastic results using it.

I have been so impressed with the results of the use of hydrogen peroxide that every cancer patient receives infusions of the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide / DMSO mixture throughout their entire stay...it should be apparent where I rank hydrogen peroxide, since this is the only substance I use in EVERY cancer patient." - Dr. Donsbach, pages 7, 39-40.


"Remember, where cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not, cannot occur." Dr. Otto Warburg, 1966

Page Summary

Oxygen is at the very center of the cancer problem. The metabolism of oxygen was a great evolutionary leap allowing the transition from vegetative life to much more active forms of life. However, the anaerobic vegetative metabolism still lies dormant within every cell in your body and can become manifest if your cells are deprived of oxygen for any reason.

Maintaining oxygen metabolism throughout your body requires that the entire oxygen system be maintained and function properly. This includes the quality of air you breathe, proper use of your lungs, the efficiency of your blood to transport oxygen, the alkaline condition of your lymph to transport oxygen from the blood to the cells, regular exercise to move the lymph, adequate nutrition at the cellular level so that the oxygen can be metabolized, and absence of toxins at the cellular level that can interfere with oxygen metabolism.

Off to a Fast Start...The Importance of Fresh Juices plus other ways to Strengthen Your Immune System
You now understand the importance of more oxygen and more alkalinity. One of the key ways of increasing your alkalinity is drinking lots of freshly made fruit and vegetable juices. Some doctors recommend to cancer patients that they drink one 8 ounce glass of these juices each waking hour of the day. You could never eat the amount of good nutrition you will get from these juices. The juices are also incredibly important to strengthen your immune system. There is a direct connection between the strength of the immune system and cancer according to the American Cancer Society Cancer Book edited by Dr. Holleb that states "only when the immune system is incapable of destroying these malignant cells will cancer develop." So lets move on now to a discussion of Fresh Juices plus other ways to Strengthen Your Immune System.





In 1904 there was very little cancer. Now there is an abundance of cancer. What has changed? Can this be reversed? If you have cancer or do not want to get cancer the information you and your family need is on this web site.
