“By using hydrogen peroxide to defeat the immune system, you could say that the bacteria are fighting fire with fire. The body itself also produces hydrogen peroxide as a defence against the bacteria. Therefore, it was surprising to see that many types of bacteria actually use the same substance to overcome the body´s defences,” says Nelson Gekara, research leader.

Seems like a good argument to stop using hydrogen peroxide as a breathing aid.
It’s interesting that a lot of these old sayings actually have a basis in fact. Though probably just as many are complete nonsense. I think I probably eat quite a lot of fruit and veg but must make sure I do so every day. Does the body naturally produce hydrogen peroxide? That’s what I understood from this article but I had no idea.
