N 95 Masks & CDC Prevention on Swine Flu

[Guest guest]

Actually, 35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide will kill * ANY * virus.

Dilute it to 3 percent by adding abot 1/4 cup to bath water and bathe for at

least 30 minutes to let it soak into your body.

 

It is so funny that whenever sickness occurs, people keep looking for answers to

the wrong questions. There is currently no vaccine for the swine flu available

for anyone. But if you had a remedy that worked every single time, a remedy that

no virus could become resistant to no matter how many times it mutated, then you

would think that people would be shouting this on the rooftops.

 

Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

 

Bathing in 3 percent hydrogen peroxide works because viruses cannot become

resistant to it. Putting hydrogen peroxide drops into your drinking water also

helps.

 

Here's how to figure the total amount of 3% (useable % for personal and

household uses) Hydrogen Peroxide: One part FG-H2O2 to 11 equal parts water to

make a 3% solution... 11 to 1 mix.

 

To bathe in it, add a 1/4 cup of the food grade hydrogen peroxide to bath water

and then soak for bout 30 minutes. If you cannot afford 35 percent hydrogen

peroxide, you can always go to the drug store and buy about ten to twelve

bottles of the 3 percent stuff and dump it in the bathwater. Not quite as

effective but better than nothing.

[Guest guest]

I'd love to take your advice. Actually I took your advice for a while; years

ago, when I experimented with HP, but stopped when I saw wrtings by a couple of

nutritionists saying that HP should be avoided, because it can cause cancer. I

used to use HP when I brushed my teeth (3%, which I made myself), but was warned

against it, by someone (a nutritionist) warning that this would ruin my teeth

and gums. It's hard to continue with something like HP, when health " experts, "

are telling you that your teeth are going to fall out, or you're going to get

cancer, etc.

Hello John,

 

I completely understand, believe me I do.

 

Hydrogen peroxide can be effective, but like everything in the material

universe, it can also cause problems of its own.

 

However, when hydrogen peroxide breaks down in your system, it breaks down into

water and oxygen. The body needs water. The body needs oxygen.

 

If you ever do decide to " experiment " with it at some later point in time, then

just remember this: NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER use hydrogen peroxide internally if

it is not food grade. The stuff in the drugstore should never be taken

internally. Use it only to soak your feet or to brush your teeth.

 

Regards,

 

 

 

 

Linda Bastida
