Among the most frequently used treatments is the intravenous administration of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is used in your household to disinfect or to bleach because it kills bacteria, viruses and fungi on surfaces. Did you know that your body makes hydrogen peroxide for the same purpose?
Hydrogen peroxide occurs naturally in the body and is manufactured by a certain type of cell that protects the body from invading bacteria, viruses and yeast. Hydrogen peroxide has an ability to influence the production of several cell types responsive for tissue healing and repair. Cells have an enzyme called catalase that protects the cell and breaks down the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and a singlet oxygen (O2). This singlet oxygen is a powerful oxidizing agent that kills or inhibits harmful organisms.
Living organisms utilize oxygen to generate energy and respiration. Oxygen is lowed by pollution, chlorination of water, poor quality of air, over processed food and use of antibiotics. Most common ailments are directly related to oxygen starvation.
Hydrogen peroxide, in the proper strength, can be administered intravenously. Pharmaceutical grade, hydrogen peroxide .03 percent is infused into the circulatory system through the vein in the arm. The infusion takes approximately 90 minutes.
Patients with influenza symptoms such as high temperature generalized joint pain, muscle aches and general malaise will respond almost immediately. Influenza rarely persists more than three or four days. If the treatment is started immediately after the diagnosis, relief can be dramatic.
