"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. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 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. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle)
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of ger ms.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a f resh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off 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.
8. 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.
9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kil l the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
10. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
11. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.
12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
13. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, Pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
14. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.
I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.
I already knew about the lightening of your hair. i did that a long time ago when Mom told me that I couldn't lighten my hair. She later told me it looked good!
I also knew about the blood part.

Our dog has always had itchy ears. They have always been red inside. We've had her to the vet a few times for cleanings which helped some, but not great. I searched the web for home remedies for cleaning dogs ears and found several references to mixure of 1/3 peroxide, 1/3 cider vinegar, and 1/3 water.
I mixed some up this weekend and poured some in each ear, held her and worked the base of her ears acround for about 15 seconds then got back to let her flop at will. After that, I soaked a paper towel in the mixture and went after the parts inside her ears that I could get to. I got A LOT of gunk out of there. Where the worst deposits were, there were red spots left behind. A few hours later the red spots were gone and she seemed to act like she was a lot more comfortable. I haven't seen her scratch at her ears yet since doing that.

Yeah the blood thing worked for me too- when the boy crashed a few weeks back he had blood all over his brand new white shirt. I poured it on the shirt and let it soak overnight- cme right out! And this was two days after he told me that he ruined his new shirt!
