Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
The Amazing Secrets That They Don't Want You to Know!
H2O2 is simply the scientific name for Hydrogen Peroxide. It is a naturally occurring water-like liquid that has many practical applications both inside and outside the home. The purpose of this article is to educate and inform the average person about this amazing liquid. Hydrogen peroxide is an important product of oxidative metabolism that is key to the killing of microorganisms. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is made up of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. H2O2 looks like water (H2O), but that extra oxygen molecule makes this natural water additive one of the most powerful oxidizers known to man. It is formed in nature by the action of sunlight on water, and even in honey.
You are probably already familiar with using the low grade 3% hydrogen peroxide in your medicine cabinet as an antiseptic on cuts and scrapes. Being a powerful oxidizer, hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. This means it is also great for disinfecting your kitchen and bathroom. You can make your household cleaner and safer just by substituting hydrogen peroxide for those caustic chemicals you are currently using.
Did you know that your body makes hydrogen peroxide to fight infection? It is a fact that hydrogen peroxide must be present for our immune system to function correctly. White blood cells are known as Leukocytes. Leukocytes are divided into three classes: Granulocytes, Lymphocytes and Monocytes. Granulocytes are themselves divided into three classes: Neutrophils, Eosinophils and Basophils. Neutrophils produce hydrogen peroxide as the first line of defense against toxins, parasites, bacteria, viruses and yeast.
· How Your Immune System Works:
"Neutrophils - Neutrophils are by far the most common form of white blood cells that you have in your body. Your bone marrow produces trillions of them every day and releases them into the bloodstream, but their life span is short - generally less than a day. Once in the bloodstream neutrophils can move through capillary walls into tissue. Neutrophils are attracted to foreign material, inflammation and bacteria. If you get a splinter or a cut, neutrophils will be attracted by a process called chemotaxis. Many single-celled organisms use this same process - chemotaxis lets motile cells move toward higher concentrations of a chemical. Once a neutrophil finds a foreign particle or a bacteria it will engulf it, releasing enzymes, hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals from its granules to kill the bacteria. In a site of serious infection (where lots of bacteria have reproduced in the area), pus will form. Pus is simply dead neutrophils and other cellular debris."
"White blood cells (leukocytes)...
Granulocytes, the most numerous of the white cells, are larger than red cells (approximately 12-15 micrometers). They have a multilobed nucleus and contain large numbers of cytoplasmic granules (i.e., granules in the cell substance outside the nucleus). Granulocytes are important mediators of the inflammatory response. There are three types of granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
...Neutrophils are actively phagocytic; they engulf bacteria and other microorganisms and microscopic particles. The granules of the neutrophil are microscopic packets of potent enzymes capable of digesting many types of cellular materials. When a bacterium is engulfed by a neutrophil, it is encased in a vacuole lined by the invaginated membrane. The granules discharge their contents into the vacuole containing the organism. As this occurs, the granules of the neutrophil are depleted (degranulation). A metabolic process within the granules produces hydrogen peroxide and a highly active form of oxygen (superoxide), which destroy the ingested bacteria . Final digestion of the invading organism is accomplished by enzymes."
It is believed that toxins which accumulate in the body (more so in the ill) are normally burnt up by the natural process of oxidation, whereby the toxins are changed chemically because of the effect of oxygen upon it. This oxidation process breaks down the toxins into carbon dioxide and water and they are eliminated from the body. If the body is weak and in a toxic state through acquired diseases, improper diet, pollution, etc., our bodies cannot eliminate these toxins properly, and toxic reactions are the result which we see in the final result --disease.
Bio-oxidative therapies are small amounts of diluted ozone and or hydrogen peroxide used in the body for the prevention and treatment of disease. Many of these therapies have been used by European physicians for over a century, however hydrogen peroxide therapy was developed in the United States primarily by Charles H. Farr, M.D., P.H.D. , of Oklahoma, a nominee for the 1993 Nobel prize in Medicine.
