My husband & I have used food grade peroxide for some time now, & have never seen it "eat" any skin on either of us. It can sting, but in the quantity I am talking about -- a few drops rubbed on with a Q-Tip -- I have never seen it do any harm, & have frequently seen it do good. I am not talking about pouring it on in huge quantities. I am talking about a focussed use of a tiny amount.I agree fully that it must be diluted for some purposes, depending on your purpose. But 3% is unlikely to do anything for a skin cancer.My husband had a bunch of keratoses on his back, which his dermatologist would gleefully charge him to burn off. Then he would have a white scar from the procedure, surrounded by the brown keratosis donut regrowing. We put a drop of peroxide on each one, let it sit a few seconds, & wipe it off with tissues. This has gradually resulted in an enormous improvement of the skin on his back, & nothing has ever gotten "eaten."Some of the stuff I hear about the destructive power of food grade peroxide totally blows my mind. I have spilled it on my hands. It stings, & bleaches the skin for a short time. You rinse it off, & in half an hour, you can't even tell where you spilled it. There is no persistent discomfort or skin damage -- the skin doesn't peel afterwards, nor is there any lasting harm that I can see. I had one person try to warn me that I would get cancer on those spots down the road, but I have been using quite a lot of it, for quite a long time, & have never seen it do anything but make my skin healthier. I suppose that individual results may vary, but I have VERY sensitive skin...I have spilled a few drops on the sheet -- not a good idea. The next time I washed the sheet, the fabric had a tiny neat hole where the peroxide had fallen. I agree that it is potent stuff, to be used respectfully. But it is a LOT less painful & damaging to the skin than the burning & freezing I have been subjected to at the dermatologist's office, nor has it left any scars on either of us. (And a bleach spill can damage fabric the same way.)Most of us have drain cleaners with lye & household bleach that are more dangerous. And yet you can buy those in any grocery store. RIsk is kind of relative. We each have to decide how much risk we are comfortable with, & what sorts. I am certainly not going to try to PERSUADE anybody to use the stuff. But I am not going to stop using it myself.AnneOn Jan 15, 2010, at 1:14 PM, Baker wrote: Please don't put 35% hydrogen peroxide on age spots. It will eat your skin.

Age spots are just part of the skin, you don't want to do anything to destroy tissue there. I use 35% hydrogen peroxide for some things, but it's incredibly potent and inappropriate for age spots. -- At 10:15 AM 1/15/2010, you wrote: >Anne, >Where do you find strong food grade hydogen peroxide?

Anne, I wasn't suggesting that you not use it for what you're using it

for. I am intrigued and myself would try this or the black salve (which

also has instructions for tiny amounts used very carefully) if I had a skin

issue such as you describe. It's just that age spots are not a comparable

issue and to me the iodine sounds like the best bet there, since it gives

nutrients needed because age spots are a reflection of internal needs.

I am very grateful for the information you've provided. I totally agree

about relative risk and since I am only too aware that medical error is the

3rd or 4th leading cause of death in the USA, not to mention the cost of

such care, I have no illusions. I'm big on take responsibility for one's

own health, including the level at which you are working. I'm there. And

I'm extremely grateful for this forum. Congratulations on your successes.

Since I'm already OT, I will mention that I have had great success in

removing noncancerous skin growths that were multiplying on my nose, by

using thin layers of kombucha mother (the rubbery stuff) as a nighttime and

around-the-house plaster (as well as drinking the tonic), and rubbing in

kombucha cream other times. I got some removed by a plastic surgeon and

they were diagnosed as benign, but he'd only taken a few to test for

scarring because I keloid. I got the rest of them to go away with the

kombucha scoby applications. It took awhile but left no scarring-- I

stopped using the plasters when the tissue reduced to the same position

that the plastic surgeon had attained, and the areas healed in the exact

same manner. Oh. The point I wanted to make was that the kombucha

plasters didn't reduce health tissue, only the growths. I find that

fascinating. Similar to what you're describing with the HP.

Thanks, Anne, for that report.

My own experience with H2O2 was using it to brush teeth with. It was

12 1/2% from a HFS.

It was mildly warm, no burning or bleaching of the skin.

I love your report.
