💧 Hydrogen peroxide - the body's natural defense

Hydrogen peroxide is a great protective natural substance participating in our biological processes. It is produced in our body. Even a mother, nursing her child, with milk passes on protection to him in the form of peroxide. Therefore, we can safely use it in adulthood as well.

In this article I speak on my own behalf and only about my own experience and do not claim to be the ultimate truth. More details on the main page below: 👋 Hi! A few words about something important

My acquaintance with hydrogen peroxide began with an accidental viewing of a clip from Neumyvakin. Under the name of this doctor-professor and with his participation, 2 clinics were founded in Russia that work according to his technology, using hydrogen peroxide, soda, herbs, as well as therapeutic fasting, a special diet, and many other procedures. One of Neumyvakin's clinics is located in Crimea. We were in it. The wife successfully underwent an 11-day fasting course there.

Hydrogen peroxide has the formula H2O2 — it is a kind of modified water (water formula H2O + oxygen atom O). Its properties are amazing. When decomposing, peroxide can both oxidize Н2О2 = Н2О + О- (for oxidation) and reduce Н2О2 = О2 + 2Н+ (alkaline for reduction). It can cure many things. I cured a skin rash in myself simply by rubbing 3% hydrogen peroxide in the places of the rash (it was about 2-3 years ago). And I also drank it for several months, 10 drops per half a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach and did not eat for 30 minutes after, so that there was no reaction. But one must be careful with it and not take pills about 2 hours before and after and not drink alcohol, and it is better to buy only pure 3% peroxide (I bought French table peroxide on OZON). Now sodium benzoate is added to it, which when taken internally can cause stomach upset. One should start with 1 drop per half a glass of water a day, daily increasing the dose and watching the body's reaction, since from the death of parasites, anything can happen.

Many doctors and independent researchers have come to the conclusion about the usefulness of hydrogen peroxide. The internet is simply overflowing with examples of miraculous healings of ordinary people and numerous works of scientists about its usefulness with simple drinking intake of a low-concentrated solution. But in the modern world of huge pharmaceutical companies it is deliberately ignored and its use is considered anti-scientific — it is a cheap and extremely effective remedy.

Once I was traveling on a train and met a neighbor in the compartment. The neighbor was a woman of about 50. She told me that there is an acquaintance grandmother who has been treated all her life only with castor oil and hydrogen peroxide internally for quite a long time and lives in a village. It turns out they knew about peroxide long ago and long before Neumyvakin, even in villages, and used it as a folk remedy. There was also a second case. The neighbor got talking and told about her elderly mother. She also began to be treated with hydrogen peroxide several years ago. She had terrible pigmentation on her arm and it almost went away. Before that she had tried many things and nothing helped. It turns out peroxide helped.

Hydrogen peroxide (hereinafter — H2O2) is constantly present in nature: produced in plants, in animals, in humans, formed in rainwater and snow under the action of atmospheric ozone, found in mountain air. In mountain streams and flows the water often seems white because of the many oxygen bubbles — and in many ways this effect is associated with peroxide, which arises during intensive aeration. That is why in such water there are almost no harmful microbes and parasites: it can be drunk without boiling and disinfection. But this is true only for clean reservoirs. If sewage or chemicals got into the stream, peroxide will not help — against heavy metal salts and toxic substances it is powerless.

⚔️ How leukocytes kill bacteria

H2O2 is present in our body. Leukocytes use H2O2 as a key component of "chemical weapons" inside the phagosome — a vesicle into which they "swallow" a bacterium. However, the body uses it not only to kill microbes but also as a universal signaling tool.

🛡 How cells defend themselves from peroxide?

For us, unlike parasites, bacteria, and fungi, in small concentrations hydrogen peroxide is not dangerous. Nature itself has provided several levels of protection at the cellular level:

• Catalase enzyme: This is the main "cleaner" of peroxide. Catalase very quickly breaks down H2O2 into harmless water and oxygen. It is contained in special organelles (peroxisomes) and in erythrocytes, where it plays a key role in protection from oxidative stress.
• Glutathione system: In cells there also works the glutathione system, which neutralizes peroxide with the help of enzymes (glutathione peroxidases).
• "Rescue" proteins: Proteins such as Hsp70 help protect cells from the toxic action of H2O2, maintaining the work of antioxidant defense systems.

🧬 Other functions of hydrogen peroxide in the body

In addition to immune defense, H2O2 participates in the processes:

• Cell growth and division: Participates in the transmission of signals about proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
• Inflammation and immunity: Modulates the activity of immune cells and inflammatory reactions, for example, regulates the STAT3 factor.
• Metabolism and hormones: Participates in the synthesis of hormones (e.g., thyroid) and the transmission of insulin signals.
• Wound healing: Plays an active role in all phases of tissue restoration.

Interestingly, the mechanism of action of H2O2 as a signal is very selective: special proteins (peroxiredoxins) catch H2O2 and use it for point "turning on" or "turning off" the necessary proteins without harming the rest of the cell.

🔬 Where does hydrogen peroxide come from?

Under normal conditions H2O2 is formed in cells as a result of several processes:

• Metabolism in mitochondria: During the production of energy from fats and amino acids in mitochondria, so-called reactive oxygen species are formed, including hydrogen peroxide.
• Work of enzymes: Special enzymes (oxidases) produce H2O2 during various biochemical reactions, for example, during the breakdown of purines or fatty acids in peroxisomes.
• Immune defense: Cells of the immune system (e.g., phagocytes) intentionally produce hydrogen peroxide to destroy invading bacteria.
• Cleansing of vessels: Hydrogen peroxide cleans our vessels from excess cholesterol, which is described in the book by Malakhov "Healing with Hydrogen Peroxide". In this book many other diseases with examples that peroxide cures are also described.
• Brain protection: Alzheimer's disease is associated with clogging of brain vessels, which is influenced by high cholesterol levels. Peroxide cleans them, as stated above.

🤱 Hydrogen peroxide and breast milk

Studies confirm that fresh breast milk really contains hydrogen peroxide.

• Source: The production of H2O2 in the mammary gland is triggered by the hormone oxytocin and is associated with the activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidase.
• Function: Hydrogen peroxide in milk acts as an antimicrobial agent. It helps protect the mammary gland from infections (mastitis) and regulates the development of the intestinal microbiome of the newborn. For example, it helps suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria without harming beneficial microflora.
• Important detail: Peroxide in milk is unstable and quickly breaks down at room temperature (within 10 minutes). This means that expressed milk that has stood may lose part of its antimicrobial activity.

💎 Brief summary

Hydrogen peroxide in the body is an important signaling and protective tool. The body finely regulates its amount with the help of powerful enzymes. In breast milk its role is especially interesting: it serves as a natural antiseptic protecting both mother and child. Which proves the adaptation of the human body at the natural level to the intake of H2O2 by drinking, by analogy with H2O2 entering with mother's breast milk through the child's mouth.
