Book Reviews of Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical MiracleBook Review: Really? Summary: 1 Stars
"No other chemical compound comes even close to hydrogen peroxide in its importance to life."
Ummmmmmmm . . .how about H2O (that's water, folks)? Or O2 (aka oxygen)? Or DNA. Or RNA. Or ATP. Or CO2. Holy cow, I could go on for hours about chemical compounds important to life, and never even come close to mentioning hydrogen peroxide.
Breathing to alkalize the body to prevent disease? No, I don't think so. Try as you might, you are not going to significantly change the pH of your body, because the fluids of the body are highly buffered (meaning it takes a great deal of acid or base to modify pH). You CAN temporarily change the pH of your blood by breathing -- it's called hyperventilation, and it does indeed raise the pH of the blood (not the entire body). What are the results? Constriction of blood vessels and reduction of blood-flow to the brain and extremities . . .exactly the opposite of what you people are trying to accomplish with hydrogen peroxide treatment. Do some simple research before gushing over hyperbolic nonsense from the latest quack "doctor," eh?
And curing cancer with oxygen therapy? What is the point of that? Cancers, all cancers, induce the formation of a dense capillary (very small blood vessels) network to supply blood to the cancerous cells. Why? For food, and for OXYGEN. Cancers NEED oxygen to survive, flooding them with oxygen is NOT going to cure the cancer.
Here are the simple facts people -- we absolutely need oxygen, but it will not cure your every ailment. Hydrogen peroxide is not some long-lost, ancient secret to health and longevity recently rediscovered by a hapless do-gooder (if it really is an ancient secret to heath and longevity, why do you suppose our current life-spans are two-to-three times greater then ever in history?). Cancer NEEDS oxygen. Breathing to increase your bodies alkalinity REDUCES oxygen flow to vital organs (including your brains, which may help explain why you believe the the crap in these books you read). These are scientifically demonstrable claims. They can be predicted and repeated. PREDICTED and REPEATED. The claims made by hydrogen peroxide users are neither predictable nor repeatable. Really, really, REALLY wanting desperately to believe otherwise despite all reason and good sense goes beyond ignorance and borders dangerously on just plain stupid.
For the love of god people, USE YOUR BRAINS! Every damn day some new wacko comes out with a "miracle cure" that claims to cure or prevent every, or nearly ever, disease known to man. The claims of H2O2 are no different. Do you really believe it is that simple? Because it is not. If you want to be blown away, take a entry-level course on biochemistry. The human body is an amazingly complex machine. These silly, constantly arising (and constantly being forgotten) single-item miracle-cure-for-everythings make a mockery of the beauty of life, and of YOUR intelligence.
Book Review: Good Reference Resource Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book along with, "Flood Your Body With Oxygen" by Ed McCabe. This is a good reference book also, a little less involved than McCabe's book but covers the points. After reading both books I decided to start an experiment of my own. As the gardening season was just beginning at that time, I was planting 2 tomato plants in large half barrels on my patio. I decided I would start supplementing the water of one plant with hydrogen peroxide (in the form of a product called "CellFood"). Everyday I put a few drops of CellFood in the water of the one plant and used plain water for the other.. The results are amazing. The plant that is supplemented with CellFood is at least 5 times larger than the non supplemented plant and is incredibly healthy looking. It has tons of tomatoes budding out all over, while the other plant only has 2 so far. My belief is if it can do this for a tomato plant just think what it could do for my own body. I started taking Hyroden Peroxide in the form of "OxyAdvantage" from Healthy World Distributing, and within a short time it was amazing to see the difference in myself. I have so much more energy now. When I ran out of the product, I reverted back to my condition before taking it which was fatigued. I literally felt like I was suffocating and craved oxygen. Yet this is how I had lived for years before discovering oxgyen supplements and thought it was normal. Folks, it's not normal! I quickly ordered more and my husband, who had also been taking it, asked me if it was coming FEDX because he couldn't stand being without it either. We are early on in our oxygen/alkalizing program and are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt this stuff is great. As we develop better deep breathing techniques and our bodies become more alkaline, I'm confident we eventually won't need the oxgyen supplementation. But folks if you are tired, fatigued and lacking get up and go, read up about Hyrdogen Peroxide and give it a try.
Book Review: A bit disappointing Summary: 2 Stars
This book was a bit of a disappointment to me, as I had understood that hydrogen peroxide was an absolutely cure-all substance.
It turns out that taken orally it can do severe damage to the stomach, including cause cancer, in mice. The author believes that in a low dose the substance is safe for us humans to take orally, while another expert does not agree.
However, there has been success with hydrogen peroxide applied intravenously. But this must be done by doctors trained in the application of this therapy, and it doesn't always work. It can be beneficial in the treatment of all sorts of conditions. Among those mentioned are auto-immune diseases, hardening of the arteries, shingles, COPD and yeast and flu syndromes.
The book is extremely technical, much medical terminology being used.
Details of many cases are provided - some people obtain great relief, while in other cases no progress is made.
The book was published in the nineties, it being stated that work was being done to improve the application of the substance, and we would soon all hear of how fantastic it was. However, I haven't seen any more recent books declaring that this is the case, though these may exist.
I would recommend this book only to those severely afflicted who are quite desperate. They could perhaps be helped by the treatment. There is an out-of-date list of hydrogen peroxide practitioners, mostly residing in the USA, at the back of the book.
Book Review: Straight-forward Informative Talk Summary: 4 Stars
The medical miracle of H202 is a good straightforward book with information and examples of the medical uses of H202. The good news is William Campbell Douglass is an MD. He shows the uses and misuses of the application of hydrogen peroxide. This is not written like promotional information for the product, which is a good thing. It is simple, dry and humorous at times, which is good for this type of book with health industry jargon. The only bad news is that it would of been nice to see more examples of how the everyday person could find safe uses for the product in there own home, since most of us are not medical practitioners. Don't get me wrong, there are a few good examples of practical uses (including using it as a mouth-wash, toothpaste or to snort as a sinus cleanser), but if you think he is going to recommend using it orally, he won't. Overall, good book, I learnt what I was looking for in obtaining this book, thus I consider it a worthy purchase.
Book Review: Good Straight Forward Read Summary: 4 Stars
This book is not too long but is packed with great information regarding the substance. It also does looks at H202 from all sides of the coin. It is straight forward enough to understand the benefits of the product and written serious but also entertaining way. The only drawback I found is that almost all the applications were mostly medical ones and I wish there we more examples of how people could use everyday pharmaceutical grade H202 to their benefit. Although it makes sense becaue the book is written by an M.D. and the sub-title is Medical Miracle, it would've been nice to see him take a risk and recommend ways for people to use it on themselves, but he played the safe route and for the most part recommended it not be take orally or self-administered. Overall, well worth the read.
