I’ve long known about hydrogen peroxide’s antibacterial properties. When I was a kid, my mother always had a bottle of Gly-Oxide in the house for cold sores, bitten tongues, and other minor mouth ailments. And since I’m a bit nervous about E. coli and salmonella (long, irrelevant story), I usually have some vinegar and hydrogen peroxide under the kitchen sink for rinsing fruits and vegetables.
Recently, I got a letter from a friend about the fact that both he and his wife had pneumonia that wouldn’t retreat even with a hospital stay and antibiotics. What finally ended the pneumonia was a nebulizer with saline solution and food-grade hydrogen peroxide.
Intrigued, I investigated and discovered myriad articles (purportedly from doctors) discussing hydrogen peroxide and respiratory health (e.g., Nebulizing Hydrogen Peroxide for Respiratory Health and Dr. Mercola’s Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide — A Simple Remedy for COVID-19, from March 2021).
However, and this is very important, I also discovered mainstream media articles, complete with quotations from doctors, saying that whatever you do, don’t nebulize hydrogen peroxide. This September 2021 Reuters article is a good example:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not list hydrogen peroxide as a treatment for COVID-19 (here).
