i've heard HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (food grade) is a herpes treatment. is this true
Hi graphic
There is no scientific evidence to show hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) works as a herpes treatment. In fact, at food grade (35%), applying H2O2 to the skin and mucous membranes would likely cause damage to the tissue. H2O2 is effective as a surface cleaner, such as countertops, but not on the skin.
The bubbling you see when H2O2 is on the skin is not a cleaning process, but a chemical reaction, and you would have the same effect were you to pour it on a cut potato. Therefore, it would have no impact on a viral, bacterial or any other type of skin infection.
Hope that helps

Dear graphic,
Unfortunately khandersuk is right. Hydrogen peroxide is broken down by enzymes in the body to water and oxygen. Were you to drink it, which could be harmful, it will likely be nothing more than water by the time it leaves your stomach.
People who seem to say there Herpes is better after using H2O2, are probably experience the natural slowing down of Herpes episodes that occurs as your immune system gets better at managing it.
If you are troubled by recurrent herpes, you should visit your local Sexual Health / GUM clinic (bashh.org/clinics) to discuss treatment options.
Kind regards.
thanks for your guidance
nope. sorry herpes is cause by virus, as such it need to be treated professionally with antiviral drugs, life style changes specific to sexual activity, and healthy living behaviors.
I dont agree. I feel so much better. Other implications have dissapeated while only using h202 for 4 days. I'm very confident this method will boost my immune system. If I maintain a high lysine diet and contine drinking h202, I will be strong enough to fight the herpes virus.
What are your test results?
