Cold and Flu season - heres a cure

[Buckeyefan 1]

Ive posted this before, and some of you will remember, but for the newbies - heres some good advice if youre feeling sick. Its worked for our family for years and theres no better cure that Ive found in getting rid of a sore throat, cold, cough or flu. All you need to do is catch it early.

Hydrogen Peroxide

"Curing the common cold and flu. - This works 80% (I say 99%) of the time

In 1928 Richard Simmons, M.D. hypothisized that colds and flu virus enter through the ear canal. His findings were dismissed by the medical community. According to Dr. Simmons, contrary to what you may think or have been taught about how you catch the flu or the cold there is only one way that you can catch the two, and that's via the ear canal not through the eyes or nose or mouth as most have believed. Keeping your fingers out of your ears will greatly reduce your chances of catching them, but then again these two are microscopic and can be air-born and may land on or even in your ear. Once they have entered the inner-ear (middle-ear) there they begin their breeding process, and from there they have access to every avenue throughout our body to travel to and to infect and make us sick.

In 1938 German researchers had great success using hydrogen peroxide in dealing with colds and the flu. Their data has been ignored (maybe surppressed) for over 60 years.

For many years people, in the know, have been attacking the Influenza(s) Virus & Common Cold where they begin their breeding process and not where they have already have spread to and that's the inner-ear (middle). It IS important to begin treatment as soon as symptoms appear.

We have found remarkable results in curing the flu & cold within 12 to 14 hours when administering a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (h2o2) into each infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected) The h2o2 starts working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing the flu or cold; there will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging occurs. Wait until the bubbling & stinging subside (usually 5 to 10 min) then drain onto tissue and repeat other ear. A bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide in 3% solution is available at any drug store for less than a couple of dollars.

To cure the flu you'll need to repeat this process two or more times at one or two hours intervals until there is no more bubbling when putting hp in ear(s). (I disagree, one time with 3 drops per ear is all you need - if there's no bubbling in one ear, you don't need to wait.)

One other thing Peroxide does is whiten your teeth. Instead of brushing with toothpaste, gargle with peroxide in the morning and evening for about a minute. In 4 days your teeth will be noticably whiter. Make sure you use the over the counter grade. It will say on the label that its safe to use as a mouthwash/gargle.

I use the H2O2 some time ago when i was in college. It works for cleaning the ears, i didn;t know it's also a cure for cold/flu. I'll try that. Thanks Buck.

It cleans out the ear wax - perfect for us audioholics. What a great, cheap upgrade to sound quality, eh?

It has been proven to have NO effect on rhinoviruses. Sorry BEF1. And even if it did work, just why would it be so ubiquitously suppressed by modern science (as opposed to modern drug manufacturers)? LOL.

But it does make for a great wound cleaner and toe-jam remover.

Show me a paper that it has no effect, because it absolutely works. I used to get sick a half dozen times a year. When I feel the cold coming on, I use it and bam, nothing. If chicken soup did the same thing, I'd eat it. Sometimes it's best to use what works, even if others claim it's snake oil. For 49 cents a bottle, it's the cheapest snake oil out there.

One other thing - don't knock it until you try it. Next time you have a cold coming on, prove me wrong. For 7 years now, and we won't risk going without having a few bottles under the bathroom sink.

I'm familiar with the DBT and zinc lozenges:

Doh, you may have to slap me around a little. I cannot find the article, which I read perhaps two weeks ago. As I recall it had to do with H.P. limited prevention use, because its effectiveness is limited to the instant of the application. There was no lasting curative/prevention process. If you run around all day long, constantly putting H.P. in your ears....you'll probably BE protected. But is that practical?

Further, if you encounter an environment with the viruses, they're getting in your eyes, and sinuses through the nose, at the same time it's getting in your ears. Are you suggesting that we constantly bathe our eyes, sinuses, and ears with Hydrogen Peroxide?

No, no - you've hit the nail on the head. You are 100% correct.

The ONLY way to get rid of a cold is when you catch it, not when you don't have it. The H2O2 only works when you hear the bubbling action in your ear. It won't prevent a cold, just stop it in its tracks. Sorry about the confusion. And for some reason, I've only had to gargle with it for a sore throat, or put it in my ears for the onset of a cold. You never want to put it in your eyes or nose, or swallow it. If you have asthma, you need to ask your physician before using it. I've covered it with a few physicians, and as long as you use the 3% OTC type, it's safe.

Actually it's carbamide peroxide that cleans out ear wax. It's a combination of urea and hydrogen peroxide. Also known as urea hydrogen peroxide.

Your average household hydrogen peroxide has about 3% available H2O2. Industrial strength H2O2 comes in 30% and 50% available H2O2. Particularly nasty stuff.

I happen to use 50% H2O2 on my job. Got about 2,000 gallons if you'd like to clean the wax out of your ears...............or is that the ear off of the wax

Holy Smokes, Major!! You could start a heavy water nuclear reaction with a ton of that stuff. Does the 50% solution come out of those south-Florida swamps you have down your way?

Okay, I got it. Limited use. Mild curative powers. Ear and throat infestations only. I'll gargle some of that crap that Majorloser handles and report back.

LOL, I've had 7 billion roentgens of gamma radiation pummel my neck and throat. I've been hit with 300 jouels of current over 20 times in the space of 10 minutes. Bring it on! I already glow in the dark.

I get canker sores once in a while especially on dry winter months. My doctor can not pinpoint exacly where I get it from. He said it might be my body's allergic reactions on environmental changes or to some kind of food that I eat. When I first notice that I going to get this sores inside my mouth I gargle HP and half tap water at least 4-5 times a day and it really cures it a lot faster.

 

[JoeE SP9]

Years ago I discovered that swimming in an indoor (chlorinated) pool seems to kill a cold. For me, the next day after swimming my cold symptoms have ceased to exist. Could it be because of the chlorinated water that gets into the nasal passages?

Tarub....my wife has been tortured by canker sores for years...the kind that get really badly inflamed, hurt like crazy, and last for days/weeks. She finally found a cure...knocks 'em out in one day, usually with one treatment. Triamcinilone acetonide. Triamcinilone is a topical steroidal product. But this type of presentation (acetonide) allows it to work in the mouth. The missus thought she died and went to heaven when she got this stuff prescribed for her. (Oh yeah...that's the problem...you'll need an Rx.)

That's the same thing people selling super duper $100 a foot speaker wire, magic tuning rocks, and other snake oil products always say...

Ok, I've seen enough.

I had a MAJOR cold a couple months ago. Nothing was working. Buckeye told me to try this, and I said he was nucking futs, but what wrong could it do?

Sure enough, my ears started bubbling. Then I put it in the other ear. Yet again, it started bubbling. Both were bubbling (It was a bad cold).

Next day, I was feeling much better. If you have an ear ache, this can help. The cold may have started it's healing before the ear drops, but it never hurts.

RJ, to argue that this is useless, without trying it for yourself and going only by second hand information it pointless. Next time you have a cold, try it.

I didn't say it was useless, Sheep. I said it had (very) limited effectiveness because there is more than one way to skin a sheep...oops, sorry...more than one way to catch/have a cold/flu/rhynovirus. Through the ears is but one way.

There are hundreds of 'home remedies' for the flu and colds, btw.... elderberries look promising, honey and bourbon, long hot shower, lemon and tea, menthol rubbed into the chest or dobbed at the edge of the nostrils, chicken soup, zinc, megadoses of vitamin C, etc. But the data is mostly anecdotal, with stories such as yours. Scientifically rigorous studies are not so favorable to these old favorites, however. But if it makes you feel better....I say go for it. Attitude is 99% of health, IMHO.

Man, this thread's funny.

Do you find that you now have lovely blond ear hair too?

If you run around all day long, constantly putting H.P. in your ears....you'll probably BE protected. But is that practical?

Good thinking Rjbudz; why buy H.P. when you can just walk around with your fingers in your ears instead. I like your thinking. Yes sirree. (and we can all do without the stereotypical money jokes thank you very much )

Couldn't agree more Buckle.
