Well, I have to admit that I haven't heard this one before.

I can't help but wonder what is different about the "food grade" version. The old standard antiseptic stuff in the brown bottle does a great job of eating healthy tissue.

Hey...great luck to ya.   Folks here are not always open to trying new stuff...understandably, most folks want to stick with the tried and true, I guess the pain is too great to take a chance.

I have just been back here recently after two years, and learned about Melatonin, and Testosterone, and a few other  things that may or may not work, but two years ago were not talked about here at least that I remember.  Who knows what will be in another two years.
  So I for one, like to keep an open mind about any other Idea that could possibly bring relief. I hope that stuff works really great for you, and I appreciate your input on it...Do you have a link to any sites that are good reads about peroxide?
   I prefer not to drug myself if possible, so I read all I can, in hopes that something will jump out....We are not all made the same, so who knows!

Barfing is fairly natural so you should certainly have at it immediately, then continue at routine intervals throughout the day.

Hey Rane, this is one I'll add to my file of interesting CH therapy ideas. Thanks for posting, and congrats on getting some good relief. 

The idea is that the hydrogen peroxide gives off a lot of oxygen as it "decomposes". There has been a lot of testing done with it in Europe, both orally and intravenously, dating back to the 1850's. You can also put in in your bath water to increase oxygen consumption. Supposedly it hasn't really caught on in the USA because there's no money in it for the drug companies. Imagine that!

You can find out info from lots of sites by searching on

hydrogen peroxide therapy

. I initially found out about it from an ebook called "The One Minute Cure". You may also be able to find some books on oxidative therapy at the library or Amazon.

There are several different grades of H₂O₂. The stuff in the brown bottle from the drugstore has stabilizers in it, which is why you shouldn't drink it. I got the 35% food grade at the health food store for about $22 for a quart. If you dilute it to make 3% like the drug store strength, it comes out to about $.69 per 12 ounces. Pretty cheap!

If you read the anecdotal evidence, it sounds like the "wonder drug" that will cure just about eveything. I don't know about that. I don't know for sure if this is what stopped my headaches dead in their tracks this time, but that's the only thing I did that was different. I hope it can help some others as well!

It'll also get the blood stains out of your clothes.

...that fact alone makes me cringe at the thought of it intravenously. D: Half of me is curious to see the results, the other half is horrified. D:

I have to laugh. Why is it that people who know the least are the ones who usually proclaim it the loudest? If I came across some “new” medication or treatment program that might just help this awful condition that we all suffer from, I would at the very least do a little research before bad-mouthing it or poking fun at it! How many of us have taken prescribed medications for cluster headaches without having any idea what was actually in the pill?

Just to try to provide some education: when you take hydrogen peroxide drops, you are diluting it to a homeopathic level, in the area of .1% (whereas drug store variety is a monstrous 3%).There are sooo many websites out there discussing the pros (and cons) of hydrogen peroxide. Here's one you can try: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or . Believe me, I was very skeptical when I started reading about this treatment. But the more I read, the more intrigued I became. This treatment is still working for me and I pray that it can help a lot more people. If you happen to research it and think it is worthwhile to try, please post your results here.

Well here is a long list on what it cures. If it works, make sure you contact them so they can add cluster headaches to the list.

High-Strength Hydrogen Peroxide Danger
FDA Says Product -- Illegally Sold as AIDS and Cancer Cure -- Could Be Fatal if Ingested
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDJuly 28, 2006 -- The FDA is warning people not to buy or ingest high-strength hydrogen peroxide for medicinal purposes.

High-strength hydrogen peroxide has been falsely touted to treat AIDS, cancer, and other serious illnesses, but it has no approved medical uses, says the FDA.

In fact, high-strength hydrogen peroxide may kill or cause serious harm if ingested, even if it is labeled "food-grade," according to the FDA.

Drinking high-strength hydrogen peroxide can cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulcersulcers. Taking it intravenously can inflame the blood vessels at the injection site, cause bubbles in blood vessels (gas embolisms), and prompt potentially life-threatening allergic reactions, the FDA warns.

The FDA's advice: If you're using high-strength hydrogen peroxide for medical reasons, stop immediately and call your doctor.

Warnings to Sellers
On July 19, the FDA issued warning letters to two Texas-based online marketers of high-strength hydrogen peroxide: Frad-35, Inc. and DFWX.

According to the FDA, the two firms' web sites were illegally selling "35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide" to treat AIDS, cancers, emphysema, and other serious and life-threatening diseases.

"This concentration is not approved by FDA for any purpose," says Steven Galson, MD, MPH, in an FDA news release. Galson directs the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

"No one has presented any evidence that hydrogen peroxide taken internally has any medical value," Galson continues. "In fact, consuming hydrogen peroxide in the manner touted by these web sites could lead to tragic results."

High-strength hydrogen peroxide has never been approved by the FDA for internal use. It's more than 10 times stronger than the solution used in over-the-counter drugs to disinfect minor cuts.

Dangerous to Use
It is also highly corrosive. The FDA considers the substance to be dangerous, even if handled according to manufacturers' directions.

This isn't the FDA's first warning about high-strength hydrogen peroxide.

In April 1989, the FDA issued a news release about the illegal promotion of industrial-strength hydrogen peroxide to treat AIDS and cancer. That warning followed at least one related death in Texas and several injuries requiring hospitalization.

And I believe this guy I think a bit, since there was so many surprising meds for our malady, then perhaps there is something into it.

It can always be as last resort if someone is med resistant I guess?

Some medical trials would be cool on this treatment, since we can only test on ourselves and have poor info from it.

You think you're the first one to try and push peroxide here?  Hardly.
