Peroxide, who knew? (Safer and healthier than bleach)
This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a doctor’s wife), and I
want to share it with you. She was over recently for coffee and smelled
the bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops. This is what
she told me...
I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle
of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. (Bob
Giddens recently bought a 32 ounce bottle at Wal-Mart for ninety-four
cents.)
My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most
doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled bleach in a
doctor's office? No!! Why? Because it smells, and it is not healthy! Ask
the nurses who work in the doctor's offices, and ask them if they use
bleach at home. They are wiser and know better!
Did you also know bleach was invented in the late forties? Its chlorine,
folks! It was used to kill our troops in World War II. Peroxide came
into popular use during and after WWI. It was used to save and help
cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals. Please think about this.
1. Take one cap ful and hold in your mouth for ten minutes daily, then
spit it out (I do it when I bathe). No more canker sores and your teeth
will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of
germs. (Good one!)
3. Clean your counters and 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. (Wouldn't it be nice if restaurants would
do this?)
4. After rinsing 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. 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.
