The Benefits of Peroxide

"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little O'L bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars.
 
   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 or shower.)  No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter
   without expensive pastes.  Use it instead of mouthwash.
 
   2. Let your toothbrushes soak a cup peroxide to keep them free of germs.
 
   3. Clean your counters, 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. Put two capfuls into a douche to prevent yeast infections.  For chronic
   yeast infections, use once or twice a week.
 
   8. 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.
 
   9. 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 then blow your nose into tissue.
 
   10. 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.
 
   11. 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.
 
   12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus,
   or other skin infections.
 
   13. 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
   directly on the soiled spot. Let it! sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse
   with cold water.  Repeat if necessary.

   14.
   You can lighten yellowed or stained fingernails (re: from polish) and toenails
    with peroxide by soaking them.
   It works and gets them nice and white again.  Do this daily until you get
   the stain out.  You can soak them or dab on with a cotton swab.

   15. Use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, there is no smearing, which is
   why I love it so much for this I use alcohol
   to clean my TV and computer screen.


  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!
