Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi, just wanted to add the following that I just got off the internet. I have NO IDEA if this is true,but someone did post this, so I'd thought I would share it. FOOD GRADE WARNINGS: 04/18/2006: from Sault Ste Marie, MI writes, " I'd be very wary of recommending that anyone use 35% hydrogen peroxide unless they've had HAZMAT training or the equivalent. At that concentration H2O2 is extremely corrosive and causes severe burns; in other words, it's a very hazardous chemical that even professional chemists (and I am one) must handle using appropriate safety equipment (rubber gloves, safety goggles, protective lab coat). I know this from experience because I was badly burned by 35% H2O2 while carrying out chemistry research. It's irresponsible to imply that this stuff is harmless and to recommend it to people who have no experience handling hazardous materials. " 04/10/2009: from Tampa, FL writes, " I have used food grade H2O for years and if you do spill it on yourself just rinse with water for a few minutes - it will turn your skin white and it is temporary and there is no prolonged damage. Yes, you do have to be careful but not afraid. " EARTH CLINIC'S ADDITIONAL WARNING NOTE: Please be very careful when transporting food grade hydrogen peroxide after the bottle has been opened. Make sure you keep the bottle upright. Once the seal has been removed upon opening, these caps can leak. Food grade will cause the skin to burn and turn white. Yes, we learned the hard way! Luckily, skin will return to normal after 30 minutes or less if you rinse off the peroxide quickly. By the way, the same whitening of skin effect happens when you dip your fingertips in drugstore 3% H202 for a minute or more. It too goes away within 30 minutes... good Lord!!! mel > > Hi all--love to read the questions and responses to all and any--thanks for the good info. > ?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Melody, I've been using the diluted H2O2 on my sprouting seeds as well as to disinfect things that require disinfecting for a while now. I've gotten it on my skin, yes I was careful not to, but it happened to splash on my skin. I was working near the sink and washed it off immediately. It didn't sting, burn or even turn white. Perhaps it wasn't on long enough. I don't know and really don't care to find out. There are people taking very diluted solutions of H2O2 internally and reporting the benefits they are receiving from it. Myself I wouldn't take it that far but if you do a Google search using Manuka Honey and H2O2 I think you'll learn their reasoning isn't as crazy as it sounds. This company has been around and trusted by many for a long time and the information there is pretty consistent with information I've found elsewhere. You can read more about the warnings and other information here if you choose to. For myself there are no perfect solutions. It is where I bought my H2O2 but I don't have any financial or other connection to it. http://www.dfwx.com/h2o2.htm ________________________________ From: Melody <eliz7212@...> Sent: Wed, December 9, 2009 12:52:34 PM Subject: Re: hydrongen peroxide Hi, just wanted to add the following that I just got off the internet.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 The H2O2 you want is food grade H2O2. The hydrogen peroxide you have there sounds like the one that the typical drug store sells. I wouldn't use it on my sprouts as it might contain stabilizers that could be deposited on the sprouts that you are growing. These are instructions to find out if it does have stabilizers in it. There is a simple way to see if Hydrogen Peroxide contains stabilizers: Pour 1/2 cap of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water. If the color has yellow (or other off colors), it has a stabilizer. It is best to set it out in the sun where it is easier to see. If the H202 remains colorless when mixed in a glass of water, it usually does not have a stabilizer. Almost all H2O2 sold in drug stores will have stabilizers, actually to discourage people to use them internally. So you can use this as a way to compare them. Basically, H2O2 poured into a clean glass and left out in a sun covered by a dish should not have air bubbles. If it does, there are metal contaminants. If you are asking for trouble, a drop of ammonia solution in H2O2 mixed in water will cause a rapid air bubble generation. It is more unstable if it has stabilizers. You can try the experiment and compare the results. The test for this is not perfect one, but the key is the color, even when you add just a small amount of water in direct sunlight. Also, a good quality H2O2 doesn't get small bubbles during storage. ________________________________ From: Melody <eliz7212@...> Sent: Wed, December 9, 2009 12:44:15 PM Subject: Re: hydrongen peroxide Here's a great link to Hydrogen Peroxide http://www.dancingalgae.com/hydrogenperoxide.html Now I HAVE A QUESTION.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi, This is a very elementary question, but is it very necessary to clean to sprout container with H2O2 or grapefruit extract or soap? What if I just scrub it and rinse thoroughly with warm water? BTW, I don't use glass jars, I use a stainless steel colander.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Jennie, In my opinion it is necessary to take steps to disinfect at the very least the things that will be coming into contact with the seeds that you'll be sprouting as the environment that you will be growing them in is constantly moist and this environment is also perfect medium for molds and fungi to grow in. This mold and fungi are all around us and normally don't cause our bodies problems. It is when they are allowed to overwhelm our immune systems that they do become a problem for our bodies. The process of disinfecting will lessen the chances that this will occur. It is of course a good idea to observe and try to detect any odors that might indicate that something is going array before consuming your sprouts regardless of if you choose to disinfect or not. If you're using stainless steel to grow your sprouts in why not use more heat (warm water won't do) to disinfect the sprouter? ________________________________ From: Jennie Gao <jenniegao@...> Sent: Wed, December 9, 2009 10:24:48 PM Subject: Re: Re: hydrongen peroxide Hi, This is a very elementary question, but is it very necessary to clean to sprout container with H2O2 or grapefruit extract or soap?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I just did the Hydrogen Peroxide test in the kitchen. I took a jar of clear clean water. I poured half a capful of my 3% hydrogen peroxide and waited to see if the water turned yellow, or if I saw any bubbles. I saw NOTHING. The water stayed clear. so what does this mean?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I use H2O2 also for those things. Be careful with using as mouthwash. Our mouth is full of friendly bacteria which H2O2 can kill. :-(.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Melody, Check ingredients. Some supermarket stores only have H2O2 listed in their products. Call their 800 number and ask.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Often, when they say food grade that is the 35% H2O2. You will have to bring it down to 3% before using. Also storing and caring for this in freezer when not in use is quite cumbersome. I just buy the store bought 3%. I don't drink it. I use it for cleaning my veggies once in a while and then rinse it. I prefer using EIS/CS (colloidal silver/ionic silver) for ingesting as this is a natural antibiotic also antibacterial,antifungal, etc. If you have cups or any white cookware that has stained, soak overnight in hydrogen peroxide and you will see it becoming almost like new in whiteness the following morning. > > > > Hi all--love to read the questions and responses to all and any--thanks for the good info. > > ?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Aha!!! I clicked on that link, scrolled down to the bottom and saw " Stabilized 3% " . So now we have our answer. But it also said it can be used in the mouth to relieve mucus. I didn't know this. Can I gargle with this. I still have a bit of a cold left in my chest.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Melody, Of course you can use it as a mouthwash but without knowing what is included in those stabilizers would you want to?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well, thankfully I haven't used it in MONTHS. I used to dilute a capful in a bowl and soak my mung beans. That was the only use I had for them. Except for now that I have a cold, I read where you could put a dropper full in one's ear and it will kill viruses. So that's what I'm using it for NOW!! Will not put it in my mouth, nor will I ever use it for my mung beans.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Melody, remember I told you that you only needed it for store bought mung beans. I still use a capfull in my soak water. After the soak, all the rinsing will wash away any peroxide that there was. ew Re: hydrongen peroxide > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I just did the Hydrogen Peroxide test in the kitchen.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Yes Indeed my dear EW, I do remember. I'm not throwing away this eighty nine cents bottle, don't worry.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 When used as mouthwash, it can kill beneficial bacteria in the mouth which can aid, aside from digestive enzymes, in the predigestion of food. > > > > > > Hi all--love to read the questions and responses to all and any--thanks for the good info. > > > ?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I belong to a CSA, and the guy who owns and runs it is USDA certified. I told him about hydrogen peroxide use on plants - making them real nice and healthy, and he said that USDA forbids them from using H202 on their produce. But i do rinse my sprouts with 2 cups of water with one cap of the h202 3%. > > > > > > Hi all--love to read the questions and responses to all and any--thanks for the good info. > > > ?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Actually the additional oxygen is detrimental to the anaerobic bacteria, which is the stuff you want to get rid of.
