oxide. Small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be made in the laboratory by...
1) Reacting barium peroxide with sulfuric acid. 2) Exposing water to ultraviolet light
3) Bubbling ozone through water
4) Running electricity through water (electrolysis) 5) Exposing ether to sunlight
6) Impinging a hydrogen-oxygen flame on ice
From 1920 to the 1950s, electrolysis (4) was the primary method used to produce very pure hydrogen peroxide. Today, nearly all commercially available hydrogen peroxide is manufactured by a process known as the Riedl-Pfleiderer process which involves the oxidation of chemicals known as alkylhydroanthraquinones.
Hydrogen peroxide can be found in a variety of grades: 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (common pharmacy grade) This grade is most commonly found in pharmacies and gro- cery stores. Hydrogen peroxide found in pharmacies and grocery stores contains a variety of stabilizers such as phenol, phenacetin, acetanilide, phosphoric acids, sodi- um pyrophosphate, nitrate, phosphoric acid, colloidal silicate and sodium stannate (tin). Because of these added toxic chemicals, this cheap product should NEVER be used. Acetanilide was found in 1948 to cause methemoglobinemia and can cause damage to the liver and kidneys. The drug acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a metabolite of acetanilide. Phenacetin has a depressant action upon the heart, has been shown to be carcinogenic, to cause renal necrosis (kidney damage) and hemolysis (red blood cell destruction).
6% Beauty Salon Hydrogen Peroxide
Everyone has heard of the “bottle blond”! These products contains an activator that makes them effective bleaching agents.
Legally, according to Department of Transportation reg- ulations, any hydrogen peroxide that is concentrated to 8% or greater is classified as an “oxidizer” and must be treated as a hazardous material.
30% Technical Grade
One of the major industrial uses of hydrogen peroxide is in the bleaching of cotton textiles and, to a lesser extent, wool, silk, and certain vegetable fibers. At the turn of the century (1900) a large market for hydrogen peroxide was the bleach- ing of straw hats which were very much in vogue. It is also used to bleach chemical pulps, in linoleum and to improve the color of certain waxes and oils. In addition, hydrogen

MELANOMA
“I’m just trying to help in any way I can, because no one should have to go through what I went through - numbing devastation and fear. If this helps you, please spread the word! Thank God!! Wow! I’m still shocked it worked and it took only a week! How is it possible that people don’t know about this is beyond me. Over the period of two years, two cancerous growths appeared on my face (nose). One of them was growing very slow, the other one faster. Then in less than a year, another one appeared on my face as well - on the other side of my nose, very close to my eye. That one was growing at an alarming rate. All those growths hurt with unusual intensity when touched and had tiny veins, but they were not moles. They were kind of the color of my skin except more red and at times really red. I was getting worried and felt helpless. I begged God to help me and I searched a lot. I found this great site and read that there have been reports that hydrogen peroxide cured melanoma. At first it didn’t seem to have any effect at all. I was getting so worried by that point because the spot close to my eye was growing even faster and by then it was about five mil- limeters in diameter and just a few months ago it was a tiny spot.
How I used it:
I took a cotton swab and soaked it in hydrogen peroxide and kept rubbing the cancerous growth with the hydrogen peroxide soaked cotton swab until the growth was white. It stung badly, but I didn’t care, I just wanted these things gone. I was so desperate, my eyes watered every time I looked at the spots on my face. After soaking and making it white, apply a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide on the growth, and when the cotton gets dry, wet it with more hydrogen peroxide. The soaked cancerous growth, after a while, formed a crust much like what happens in a normal sore. The strangest thing is I see no scars. It flattened it out like it was never there, IN A WEEK!!! Even the fastest growing one! I’m still in shock. I tried so many things. Thank God! Thank God!”

CANCER
“A dermatologist diagnosed a spot on my wife’s face as a ‘non-cancerous tumor’ and he made an appointment for her to have it removed by a surgeon. He said it should be done soon so it would not leave a larger scar. It had been coming up and bleeding with just a slight touch for about two months. We had just heard about your experiences with hydrogen peroxide so she called the surgeon and cancelled the appointment and started using the 3% hydrogen peroxide on it and it became smaller and smaller. When we received the 12% she used it a few times. Within six weeks time it was gone with no scar. Cost less than $1.00... compared to what the surgeon would have charged and NO SCAR.”
peroxide is used to de-ink waste paper in the recycling process. These industries like using hydrogen peroxide because it is environmentally friendly. When hydrogen per- oxide decomposes, it yields only water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide, when added to industrial and residential sewage and wastewaters, is able to kill harmful pathogens, making effluents safe for the environment. Hydrogen per- oxide removes toxic and foul smelling pollutants from industrial gas streams and can also limit chlorine concentra- tions in water supplies. Hydrogen peroxide is used in the production of a wide variety of organic and inorganic chem- icals, as well as in the manufacture of household bleaches. Hydrogen peroxide is also used in the mining industry. Hydrogen peroxide reacts...
1) with alkalis to form peroxides.
2) with potassium iodide, in the presence of ferrous sulfate, to release iodine.
3) with lead sulfide (PbS - brown) to form lead sulfate (PbSO4 - white). This is sometimes used to brighten oil paintings that have darkened with age.
4) with lead dioxide to form lead oxide.
5) with sulfites to form sulfates (in alkaline solutions) 6) with nitrites to form nitrates
7) with arsenites to form arsenates
8) with ferrous compounds to form ferric compounds. 9) with chromic compounds to form chromates.
10) with permanganates in acid solution to form manganous compounds plus oxygen of twice the volume available from the hydrogen peroxide
11) with dichromate in cold acid solution to form per- chromic acid.
12) with titanic salt solutions to form pertitanic acid.

When you look at how hydrogen peroxide is used in indus- try, you can see its obvious benefits in health when it is used in the human body. In industry, hydrogen peroxide is used to oxidize hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, amines, aldehydes, chlorine, reduced sulfur compounds (thiosulfates, sulfites, sulfides), cyanides, nitrites, and hydrazine. Hydrogen per- oxide is also used to hydrolyze formaldehyde, carbon disul- fide, carbohydrates, organophosphates and nitrogen com- pounds and numerous water soluble polymers. With the assistance of metallic catalysts (iron, copper, manganese) hydrogen peroxide can detoxify phenols, BTEX pesticides, solvents, plasticizers, and virtually any other organic com- pound. Hydrogen peroxide helps to break complex organic compounds into smaller, less toxic, biodegradable frag- ments. Hydrogen peroxide is used to remove “biogrowth” or “microbial slime” that blocks the drainage pipes in sep- tic system leach fields. If hydrogen peroxide can do all that, don’t you think it might help you clean the crap out of your colon?
35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide
This grade is approved for use in the food industry as a non- toxic disinfectant. Added to water, it is sprayed on cheese, eggs, vegetables, fruits and whey products to keep them free of unwanted bacteria. It is also used to disinfect aseptic food containers (milk and juice boxes). It is also an ingredient in contact lens cleaners, eye drops, aloe vera extracts, mouth- washes and tooth-whitening products. In addition, food grade hydrogen peroxide is used in the dairy industry as a disinfectant and bactericide. Luckily, the FDA is unlikely to remove hydrogen peroxide from the marketplace because, without it, the agriculture and food processing industries would pretty much come to a standstill. This is not to say that the FDA isn’t going to try (See Section Two!!!) 90% Hydrogen Peroxide
This grade is actually used by the military and in space exploration as a propulsion source for rocket fuel. It has been used as a propellant in both the U.S. and British mili- tary for over fifty years, primarily in torpedoes and missiles. It was also used by NASA in Mercury spacecraft and other programs. It is a highly unstable conpound that can explode unless handled very carefully.

99.6% Hydrogen Peroxide
This grade was first made in 1954 as an experiment to see how pure hydrogen peroxide could be made.
