Uses for Peroxide
This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a
doctor's wife), and I want to share it with you.
She was over recently for coffee and smelled the
bleach I was using to clean my toilet and countertops. This
is what she told me..
I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain
little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00
at any drug store. What does bleach cost? My husband has
been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most
doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled
bleach in a doctor's office? NO!!!?
Why?? Because it smells,
and it is not healthy! Ask the nurses who work in the
doctor's offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home.
They are wiser and know better!
Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's
chlorine, Folks! And it was used to kill our troops.
Peroxide was invented during WWI in the 20's. It was used to
save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals.
Please think about this.
1. Take one capful (the little white
cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your
mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I
do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores, and your
teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it
instead of mouthwash.
2.Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep
them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill
germs and leave a fresh smell.
Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray
it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour
peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 50/50
mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially
the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to
ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen
gangrene that would not heal with any medicine but was
healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and
water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without
harming your septic system like bleach or most other
disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your
50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It
will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few
minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a
dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your
mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day.
The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair,
spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and
comb it through. You will not have the peroxide-burnt blonde
hair like the hair dye packages but more natural highlights
if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It
also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid
boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to
a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is
blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let
it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water.
Repeat if necessary.
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no
smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.
I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home
should be without! With prices of most necessities rising,
I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a
simple, healthy manner!
