Clorox Vs Peroxide

**Retmilleo909** · 09-06-08, 01:41 AM

A friend sent me the following Info. tonight and I thought I would share it with the forum.
I don't know if any of this works, but it sounds interesting and I'm going to try some of the tips.
I'm not endorsing any of it and you can try it at your own risk.

This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a doctor's wife)
and I want to share it with you. She was over recently for Coffee and
smelled the bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops.

This is what she told me: "I would like to tell you of the
benefits of that plain little ol' bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for
under $1.00 at any drug store. What does bleach cost?
My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most
doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled bleach in a
doctor's office? NO!!
Why? Because it smells, and it is not healthy! Ask the nurses who work in
the doctor's offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home. They are
wiser and know better!

Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine,
folks! And it was used to kill our troops. Per oxide was invented during
WW1
in the 20's. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops
and hospitals.

Please think about this:

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the
bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I
do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter
without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to Keep them
free of germs.

3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill
germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when
you
wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cuttingboard, put peroxide on
it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of
peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and l et
dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes
several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with
any medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide.

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and
water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your
septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture
whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill
the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then and blow your nose into a
tissue.

9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right
away,
put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes
several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the
50/50 solutio n on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You
will not have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages
but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or
dirty blonde.
It also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change.

11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid skin
infections.

12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a
load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on
clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute,
then rub it and rinse with cold water, repeat if necessary.

13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing,
which is why I love it so much for this.

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be
without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way
to
save lots of money in such a simple, healthy manner!"

Uh, did that article say "per oxide" was invented in the twenties?

As in 1 Hydrogen atom "per" Oxygen atom?

Bleach was invented in France in the late 1700's.

You can't go by what these forwarded articles say and they can be very misleading. My mother used Clorox when she did the laundry long before this article said it was invented. I read an article which said Clorox was invented in 1916 during WW-1
Like I said I'm not endorsing any of it, as I'm not interested in the history of Clorox or peroxide but will try some of the tips. Peroxide and any brand of bleach are good cleaning agents and disinfectants. Ammonia is a good one too, but don't ever try mixng clorox with ammonia as it turns into chlorine a poisonous gas.
