Peroxide, who knew? *
(Safer and Healthier than Bleach)
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, reddish,
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.
