SUMMARY OF EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

1. H2o2 contains no poisons or toxins. It is a chemical compound consisting ONLY of water (H2O) and oxygen (O).

2. If contact with skin, do not panic. H2o2 it will TEMPORARILY bleach the skin color and will sting. However, no permanent damage is done and color will return in less than one hour - and usually within minutes. No poison or toxic substance has been absorbed through the skin as h2o2 contains no toxins. The bleaching is caused by the oxygen in h2o2.

If contact with skin, wash off area generously with water or any drinkable liquid (soda pop or any beverage if water is not available.)

3. If contact with eyes, immediately flush eyes generously with water.

4. If internally swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Drink as much water as possible and contact emergency medical care immediately.

5. Spill clean up? Just wash down with water. H2o2 contains no toxins or contaminants to ground or ground water.

6. H2o2 is not flammable.

INTERNAL USAGE:

Caution must be used for any internal usage of an h2o2 product. There are no established standards and the age, weight and general health of an individual highly affects the safe and beneficial levels of supplemental usage.

All h2o2 products MUST be diluted for most applications. The levels given below are only personal, not professional, suggestive levels. However, higher levels should only be approached with great care.

Commented on usage are based upon my personal experience and investigation. The FDA has not established any safe level of internal usage of any form of h2o2. This section is for information purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for medical advice. You should consult with a physician or other healthcare professional familiar with nutrition, prevention, and related health issues. Any product or statement on this or any linked web site has not been approved by or have not been evaluated or certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Products are not offered specifically for medical purpose. Always consult your medical practitioner prior to using any substance or product for any medical condition including any product mentioned or offered here. The FDA has not approved the usage of hydrogen peroxide for any medical purpose.

PLEASE NOTE: 35% concentration hydrogen peroxide should NEVER be used for any medical purpose, ingested, or injected into the blood stream.

FOOD GRADE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SHOULD NEVER BEEN USED FOR DIRECT INJECTION INTO THE BLOOD STREAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE REGARDLESS OF METHOD OR LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION. No product sold by DFWX or on this web page is usable for direct injection into the blood stream regardless of purpose or concentration. Doing so will result in permanent injury or death.

Hydrogen peroxide at any concentration level should NEVER be used for a eye wash, for cleaning ears or as a nasal spray.

There is no established level of safe oral ingesting of hydrogen peroxide, though it has been used in 3% concentration as mouthwash for decades (though not to be swallowed). Any oral consumption of any hydrogen peroxide should only be considered if it is first diluted.

Only as a personal comment and not a health recommendation, my own usage for oral consumption is limited to 1 drop per 2 ounces of water. This is a dilution ratio of 1/ 1,200th as there are 600 drops per ounce. This equates to a concentration of approximately 0.01% hydrogen peroxide, not 35%. "35%" means the volume is 35% hydrogen peroxide and 65% water.

GUARDIAN OF EDEN H202:

Guardian Of Eden hydrogen peroxide is undiluted and unaltered 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide.

Usage: 4 to 8 drops per 8 ounces of distilled or filtered water between meals, 2 to 3 times a day, 5 to 6 days a week. You should start at a lower rather than higher level.

NEVER consume hydrogen peroxide in concentrated form. It MUST be substantially diluted first!

HIGHER LEVEL USAGE:

Any higher concentration levels of h2o2 internal usage should be approached very gradually. Excessive levels can be extremely harmful and even lethal.

WARNING SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE USAGE:

H2o2 has a distinct taste to it. However, if there is any stinging sensation in the mouth the level is extremely too high. If there is any internal sense of stinging or stomach pain, drink as much water as possible and seek immediate emergency medical attention. Never induce vomiting as this can cause severe lung tissue damage.

Occasionally people who use h2o2 for the first time will report diarrhea. This is not uncommon and should end the same day. Some attribute this to the body flushing out waste materials.

Stomach pain, however, is a serious warning sign of excessive concentration and should be taken seriously. If the stomach pain is intense, immediate emergency care is an absolute necessity.

If you are gradually increasing levels of h2o2 consumption across a period of time, warning signs that the levels are becoming excess are a sensation of stomach gas or blood shot eyes. You should discontinue usage for a day or two, and then resume at a lower level of concentration.

PLEASE NOTE: 35% concentration hydrogen peroxide should NEVER be used for any medical purpose, ingested, or injected into the blood stream unless is it substantially diluted.

FOOD GRADE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SHOULD NEVER BEEN USED FOR DIRECT INJECTION INTO THE BLOOD STREAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE REGARDLESS OF METHOD OR LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION.

In this author's opinion, oral consumption of hydrogen peroxide MUST be diluted. Excessive concentration can cause severe stomach damage and other injury. However, this is true of virtually any substance you would ingest, including virtually all over-the-counter medications and even food.

Read the materials below as the author's personal comments and experiences. Links to other websites are just for your reading and are neither an endorsement of the statements made in the linked web site nor an endorsement of any product they offer.

WHY DISTILLED OR FILTERED WATER?

H2o2 decomposes (released its extra oxygen molecule) in interaction with organic and certain metallic materials which are found in tap, spring and well water. This causes the h2o2 to release its oxygen prematurely before absorption. When the Oxygen is relesed in this process it oxidizes all the other organic and other maetalic substances in the water, purifying it, and making it cleaner drinking water.

HOW TO STORE H2O2

The most important rule to remember is that undiluted h2o2 is EXTREMELY dangerous to eyes and is fatal if swallowed with still concentrated. Therefore, store h2o2 in a very safe location and NEVER put it in an unmarked bottle. Though extremely rare, there have been reports of fatality with h2o2 in concentrated form was mistaken for water.

STORE H2O2 PRODUCTS IN THE DARK

H2o2 rapidly decomposes in a photo-reaction to U.V. light. This will cause the h2o2 to weaken in concentration and will cause the bottle to expand and possibly burst. We suggest SLIGHTLY loosening the cap to allow for any gas build up to bleed off rather than burst the bottle is stored for an extended period. This is particularly important for Jutrian . Storing in the dark means total darkness (though the brief refrigerator light when open or while mixing on under kitchen light is OK.)

DO NOT STORE IN FREEZER

Do not store h2o2 in a freezer.There is a false view commonly taken that h2o2 should be stored in the freezer. If h2o2 is frozen at too cold a temperature, it will separate (decompose) the water (H2O) from oxygen (O) and the water will freeze leaving a bottle of frozen water and air.

Small bottles of h2o2 are best stored in a refrigerator as it is cold and dark. However, this is only the case if this is NOT accessible to children or incompetent adults. Otherwise, simply store h2o2 in any cool, dark location. Extra bottles are best stored in their box, the bottle upright, and the top SLIGHTLY loosened.

HOW LONG CAN H2O2 BE STORED?

At refrigerator temperatures (but not freezing), h2o2 will decompose at a rate of 1/2 of 1% per month. Higher temperature will increase decomposition.

WOULD TAKING MINERALS, AMINO ACIDS AND H2O2 BE THE SAME AS USING JUTRIAN ?

While these could be the same ingredients, the answer is no.

The source of minerals for people used to be in the food they ate on a daily basis. However, most agricultural land has been diluted of the minerals in the soil for decades for reasons of over harvesting and poor irrigation. This has essentially eliminated the plant source for minerals in a person's diet.

Unfortunately, when plants processed minerals in their own life-cycle, they broke down the minerals to a level the plant used at its own cellular level. Therefore, the minerals then were broken down to a level then also absorbable when the plants were eaten directly or indirectly as livestock crops.

Many minerals are not easily broken down in digestion. An analogy to explain this would be a person swallowing a penny. On one level, the person would have taken thousands of milligrams of copper. However, less than 1% would be broken down and absorbed by the body and the rest would just pass through.

This is the flaw or misleading aspect of most mineral supplements. It is not directly relevant how many milligrams of any mineral that are consumed rather, the only health relevance is how much is actually absorbed and in a way that is usable at the cellular level.

Though not toxic, concentrated h2o2 is highly corrosive to many minerals and all organic substances. It is one of the few “acids” (it is not technically an acid) that is not toxic. H2o2 in concentrated from will break most minerals and most amino acids down to their most basic atomic or molecular form. The remaining large clumps of atoms or minerals combine together and too large for a cell to absorb.

Jutrian is a unique product and one that takes time to produce. When first mixed with its long list of trace minerals and amino acids, it is a very dark liquid. This is stored in complete darkness for months, while periodically shaken (or vibrated is more accurate). The resulting effect is the h202 interacts with the minerals and amino acids, breaking them down to individual molecular structures and atoms. The result is a nearly clear h2o2 liquid. H2o2 does not destroy the ingredients. It breaks them apart. The result is the most absorbable possible form of minerals and amino acids.

Cells can not absorb many mineral that are in a clump. Cells do need and absorb mineral. This is the purpose of Jutrian .

While taking a minerals supplement, an amino acid supplement and using h2o2 supplementing would have the same ingredients, it is not the same in terms of potential effect and benefit.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:

Diluting with water is the core to all emergency procedures.

If spilled in concentrated from on your skin:

Even a residual amount of Hydrogen Peroxide will temporarily bleach skin. You will feel a stinging sensation and the area of contact will turn a light yellow or white.

Do not be alarmed. H2o2 is not poisonous and the effect is temporary.

You should immediately wash off the area with water. If you do not have water, and water based liquid will work such as soda pop or milk. You could even use saliva if the exposed area is small.Usually the skin will return to its normal color within the hour and stinging usually stops in 10 to 15 minutes.

H2o2 is not toxic, so no poisons of any kind have entered the body and there is no long term damage.

Spilled/splashed in eyes:

If any undiluted h2o2 is splashed in eyes, IMMEDIATELY AND EXTENSIVELY flush the eyes with water. If the person is resistant (such as a child) it is CRITICAL to forcible flush the eyes with water (this means splash or pour room temperature or cooler water into the eyes.

If water is not available, use any water based liquid safe for eyes such as soda pop, milk, or juice.
If the eye(s) continue to have a burning sensation, seek immediately medical attention.

SWALLOWING UNDILUTED H2O2:

THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE LIFE THREATENING SITUATION!

Hydrogen Peroxide is extremely corrosive to internal organs and can cause permanent and fatal damage. H2O2 is not a toxin, but it is extremely corrosive in high concentration. THERE IS NO CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE INTERNAL CONSUMPTION OF 35% CONCENTRATION H2O2 THAT HAS NOT BEEN DILLUTED WOULD PRODUCT ANY RESULT EXCEPT SERIOUS PERMANENT INJURY OR DEATH. H2O2 MUST BE EXTREMELY DILUTED.

In the event of swallowing undiluted H2O2 do the following IMMEDIATELY:

1. Consume as much water as possible.

2. Dial 911 or your other local emergency number. Stress to emergency personnel answering that this is a life-threatening circumstance.

3. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Induced vomitimg could cause fluids in the stomach to enter into the lungs and the throat. Both the lungs and throat are far more easily and permanently damaged than stomach lining and serious lung damage can be instantly life-threatening or fatal.

EXCESSIVE INTERNAL USUAGE

The emergency procedures above are for the accidental swallowing of Hydrogen Peroxide.

More common inquiries we receive are the effects of using diluted h2o2, but at a higher levels than 1 drop per ounce (there are 600 drops in an ounce of water) that then appears to be causing an unpleasant side effect.

If you have consumed a higher level of h2o2, a common and quickly noticeable effect is a sense of stomach bloating. If you had only used a slightly higher level of concentration (such as 2 or 3 drops per ounce), this may be addressed simply by drinking more water to further dilute it in your stomach.

The sensation of stomach bloating also can occur if you use tap or spring water rather than distilled or filtered water. This is caused by the h2o2 prematurely releasing its oxygen in a gaseous form (thus, stomach gas).

ONLY USE WATER FOR INTERNAL DILLUTION:

In the event of excessive concentrations for internal usage, drink water to dilute the strength internally. Only water dilutes h2o2. Other sources (such as soda pop and milk) contain organic substances which can interact with the h2o2 causing it to rapidly decompose (release its oxygen).

In instance of swallowing full strength 35% h2o2, any means of any water based liquid should be swallowed to reduce concentration, though water is the preference. This is an immediate life threatening circumstance and you must immediately seek professional medical care.To address a sensation of minor bloating, drink only water.

THERE IS NO SAFE OCCASION WHERE H2O2 WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DISCOMFORT.

Initial diarrhea (short term) or a temporary sense of bloating is not that rare for first-time users (though most do not experience such effect). Diarrhea and bloating can be caused by slight gas build up from the h2o2, which is not harmful and might be beneficial. However, there should be no significant pain involved with any h2o2 usage.

If you experience any stomach pain after using h2o2 internally, this can be a VERY serious matter calling for you to seek immediately emergency medical attention meaning calling for an ambulance as soon as possible.

AIRBORNE H2O2 DANGERS

Generally for personal usage levels and quantities there is no airborne dangers of H2O2. H2O2 is not poisonous or toxic.

However, if you use large amounts in an enclosed area (such as for furniture stripping etc.,) you need to have fresh air circulating. A HIGH level of h2o2 vapors can create a corrosive effect, which you would first notice as a burning sensation in your nose. If this occurs, simply go to an fresh air area and use a fan to blow out the air in the room. Again, h2o2 is not poisonous or toxic.

DISCUSSION TOPICS:

This section is ONLY for discussion and consideration of potential usages. However, there is so much bad information and it so easily to misunderstand, no precise numbers are given. It does NOT address ordinary topics that are discussed above.

USING H2O2 TO PURIFY OR PRESERVE WATER:

We are often asked of levels to use to purify and preserve water - and generally will not give advise for obviousreasons. There is a great difference between attempting to make water from a flowing stream safe - compared to making stagnant swamp water with a dead animal in it safe.

H2o2 is used around the world for water purification and for fountains, pools and hot tubs. The technique and methods used depend largely upon how pure the water needs to be and how contaminated it is to begin with.

Using h2o2 for water preservation or purification for camping is highly problematical. There is no question that h2o2 can sterilize water. Rather, the challenge is having a high enough concentration to sterilize the water, but then low enough to be able to drink. unfortunately, the safe level for consumption is MUCH lower than the level necessary to sterilize water.The challenge, therefore, is to remove enough of the H2o2 after the water had been sterilized to allow it to be consumed. This is discussed a bit below.

If the question is how to store a quantity of water for a long period of time - when the water is safe to begin with - this is not a real challenge. ½ drop per ounce of water (there are 600 drops in an ounce - or a 1200 to 1 ratio) will increase the lifespan of the stored water over 10 times.

If even this low a level of h2o2 will leave an unpleasent taste, simply put the water in a clear container in sunlight for a couple of hours and the UV light will cause most of the remaining h2o2 to lose its extra oxygen molecule - converting it to then just water itself.

Heating water with h2o2 in it also will cause much of the h2o2 to decompose to water (the oxygen will become gaseous and boil off.)

Organic substances also cause h2o2 to decompose rapidly. When h2o2 decomposes, it reverts to pure water and gaseous oxygen, meaning what remains in the liquid then is only pure water.

As a personal comment, those who handle h2o2 often (such as we do) often prefer to wash off minor h2o2 contact with skin (which bleaches the skin temporarily and stings) with soda pop rather than water. The reason is that the h2o2 interacts with the sugar in the soda pop and causes it to decompose, reducing its strength.

For those who wish to test or explore using h2o2 for camping or other applications of remote water purification, what is important to remember is that

1.) UV light,

2.) ANY organic substance and

3.) heat decompose h2o2 to water (the extra oxygen molecule released as a gas). Those are the options of how to reduce the concentration of h2o2 in water.

Time also is a factor in purification if the water has solid contaminates in it. It would be important to filter out large size contaminations (such as using a coffee filter) to prevent contaminates that h2o2 could not penetrate. A carbon filter would be much better of course.

Lastly, it is important to remember that while h2o2 can kill virtually any bacteria and fungus, it will not clean chemically contaminated water. For example, h2o2 could not remove oil and gasoline from water.

OTHER USAGES OF H202?

See www.dfwx.com/usage.htm

Plants LOVE h2o2 if used in correct proportions as it oxygenates the soil. H2o2 is used for cleaning, stripping, bleaching, water humidifiers, to treat aquariums, hot tubs, to bleach bones, and even in the production of the microchip in your computer.

Comment by the author:

I personally believe that reasonable h2o2 internal supplementing is highly beneficial.

A real concern of ours comes from emails from individuals who seem to believe that if a little of something is good, then a lot most be better.

Though fortunately rare, we do receive emails from individuals who will ask questions such as, “would a tablespoon of h2o2 be about the right amount to begin with?”If that meant a tablespoon straight out of the bottle, it would severely burn the insides of the person's mouth and throat, and could be fatal.

H2o2 is not a drug, it is a supplement. It is very potent if it is the real stuff. Start low and find out what level works for you. But start with low concentration. You also need to allow your body time to adjust.

I have used H2o2 supplementing myself for years and finally established my own routine. I'll not specify what that is, as this does become very individualized. However, I follow a 5-2 routine. I use it for 5 days and take 2 days off. But I do this with essentially every supplement I ever take as I believe it wise to always allow the body time to adjust and to rest. I also NEVER take all supplements at the same time so not to load up on my liver.
