      I used 3% H2O2 to clean chronic abscesses for 15 years. I used it to burn dead skin off a road rash that wouldn't heal. No way I would even touch 35%!
      PS I strongly doubt those "studies" that say H2O2 does nothing. Its oxidizing power makes it a fantastic debriding agent, and thus it's quite obviously also good for cleaning wounds and killing bacteria. It reminds me of when some itch cream company sponsored research to "prove" that calamine lotion doesn't help itching - or how Canadian doctors now won't put a drain in an opened abscess because of some study, meaning wound care nurses have to keep sending people back to get cut again and again.

I'd also say that, for the small wounds an average person's going to be treating with a first aid kit, there's no need to use it if water is enough! XD

      It's more understandable to say that bad things happen and your god offers love and compassion to the people. You're just trying to justify your suffering. Suffering doesn't make anyone stronger. My PTSD and heavy dissociative symptoms don't make me stronger. They make me jumpy and make me have flashbacks and trust issues.

      The fact you're trying to threaten me with your god proves that the Christianity you people push is nothing but zealotry. Your god is not the sadist you so desperately want it to be. Why can you not accept that maybe your god doesn't have a plan for you, that your god may instead shed tears alongside you in your darkest hours--because things in life happen for the sake of chaos, without pattern or reason. That sounds much more like the compassionate god the bible supposes it to be.

    I had a girlfriend decades ago who was ignored by doctors and ended up with permanent joint damage from Lyme Disease that doctors said was impossible. When they finally tested for it, it was too late to do anything about, and in her 20s she was walking with a cane. I was present when the doctor finally agreed to test for Lyme and it came back positive.
    As a young woman, her complaints were routinely dismissed or downplayed by both doctors and nurses, even when other people spoke up on her behalf.
    I understand the desperation many people feel. Which makes me even more angry at the charlatans who peddle harmful snake oil to them.

      @@evonekky3672 - Agreed. This was in the 80s. Many doctors still weren't convinced "normal people" could catch Lyme. I think some doctors in that era weren't fully convinced it was a real disease affecting a non-negligible number of people. It's symptoms were non-specific enough, just like many autoimmune diseases, that her doctor thought it easier to assume she was a hypochondriac. Or whiny. Which, given women typically have a higher pain tolerance than men, is absurd and silly and offensive.

      Yes, the way health care is setup right now does not provide optimal results but it should read as obvious that her mother does not live in her body and her statements should be ignored, except where obvious as in "No, I'm not consenting to you doing xyz to my minor daughter". Is her illness the doctor's fault? No. It is their fault that it went on for so long because they can't do the obvious of listening to the * actual * patient.

    This poor woman. Having her health issues downplayed by loved ones and doctors is something I can unfortunately sympathize with, and the fact that it led her down this path is heartbreaking. When chronic pain and health issues are as bad as hers, you really will look for any type of relief, and these types of unsafe and unregulated alternative medicine practices are just the thing that people like her can easily fall victim to due to desperation. It's such a shame. My heart goes out to her.

    As someone who’s dealt with chronic health issues and was downplayed by doctors and family for fucking years, it made me want to cry hearing her story. I have permanent damage too. So many people have. So many people have been brushed off by doctors and been called drama queens and hypochondriacs and it’s just so frustrating. It makes me feel really bitter honestly, but especially so when I see those shitty people online who prey on people who don’t know any better. They shell out their snake oil to people too sick to critically think about it. It’s just so frustrating and I see the comments all over Instagram where people post their stories where people are like buy my shady products.

Grew up in a family where you didn’t need to go to the hospital unless you were physically unresponsive or had a shown broken bone. Then I joined the military and the special operations community, which is all about keeping your mouth shut with personal health issues. I had been shot in the chest with a 12 gauge overseas and I walked it off to complete the op, turns out I was pretty close to death by the time I got to the corpsman. These days my wife physically had to force me to the ER after my appendix had burst, I went the next day despite the pain because I figured it was nothing. Same thing when I had bacterial meningitis last year. It’s rough, man.

    I was diagnosed at 55 with SLE, I had it since I was 9yrs old. I went to doctors for 15 years, went through 20+ doctors only to be told IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. I was afraid that if I was told it was in my head one more time I would harm the doctor who told me that again. So, I went from 26yrs old to 55yrs old without seeing a doctor. Then I had a flare that almost killed me. I survived, but it took 8 years to recover partly enough to do much of anything and left me with damaged lungs and heart. I am a man, and I was told by doctors it was not possible to get SLE as a man, only women get it. I took upwards of 20 ibuprofen a day just to get by for 25 years, the damage that did is still there. I hope more people, especially doctors, learn about SLE. Thank you for this video, may everyone who needs it see it before it is too late.

    “Food grade” doesn’t mean “safe to eat/drink”, it means “contains no hazardous impurities”. There are food grade chemicals that you can’t even use as small ingredients in a recipe, but they could be used to chemically synthesize something else which COULD be used directly in food.

      Exactly. It means like say, they didn't cut it with lead, arsenic, or aluminum sulfates to make it go farther. It means it can be safely used to make cleaners and sanitizers for cleaning surfaces that may come into co tact with food. Like for plastics, it means that it can come into contact with food and *some* heat and not leave toxic chemicals behind or react with the foods. (but that doesn't mean that if your plastic "wooden" spoon melts into your food because you left it in the pot by mistake that you can or should still eat the food.)

      @@ValCronin While I'm a bit sad this theme has been going on for so long (I'd like some different stories from time to time), I think it's because he sees a lot of the fallout in his work and is in a position to do something against crazy ideas on Social Media and speculative internet forums. So he has a reason to want to make people a lot more careful. And yes, that may seem like mocking to you as you are apparently a user of alternate health forums (and propably for a reason).
      But he's trying to get through to you that even if a bunch of doctors misdiagnose you for whatever reason that doesn't mean you should give up and grasp for straws from people who never studied organic chemistry!
      Or worse: take an alternate medicine too far because you're desperate.
      The main problem with this and especially internet forums is that it is a whole lot easier to misunderstand or misuse those therapies. A doctor will only prescribe you so much and expect you to report how it goes so he can reevaluate. There will be specific information on how to dose, what kind of side effects there may be (they even list side effects that where never actually reported but could *in theory* arise) and when to be worried or not take the meds. Additionally, someone else will be aware you have a specific prescription. So doctors will have clues if anything does go wrong and "VC is admitted to the ER". You don't have that for "alternate meds" as you call them. No studies exist or if they exist they point out serious problems or lacking effects which is why the med is *not used* in modern medicine. Trust me, the pharma industry is the first to make money if something *is* proven useful.
      You're free to use yourself as a test bunny for your own illness if you feel the need but always make sure to ask someone with inside knowledge of medicine (attested, so you can be sure they are relativly prone with organic chemistry) before taking alternate medications of any kind or dosage. Or at least go to a professionial "alternate" doctor rather than a forum where you can never be sure "Dr. Sunshine" is really who he claims to be.

    Hey food scientist here! I want to explain what food grade means. First of all it doesn't mean that you can eat it. It just means that it doesn't contain deleterious chemicals like heavy metals. Hydrogen peroxide is often diluted and used as a disinfectant at food service establishments after washing dishes. If hydrogen peroxide is not food grade it can contaminate the dishes with heavy metals and then they will later come in contact with food and may cause health hazards.

I remember her dragging me by the wrist to the doctor, screaming at me all the time that I was going to get such a slapping when he confirmed that I was malingering. An hour later I was in surgery, having a perforated appendix removed. There was the time she locked me into the house when I was running h a high fever and took my siblings to her sister's house got the afternoon. When they came home, I was unconscious. I came to when our doctor was carrying me to his car. He took me to hospital where I was put onto IV antibiotics. I had a serious kidney infection. I'd told my mother I was peeing blood clots. Her response was I'd better not be pregnant. I was 10 years old...There was the broken foot incident. And ...and...and...I was often slapped and screamed at if I got sick.

      I have a question for you. Have you had a lot of stress in your life, or any trauma, or traumatic events? I ask because I was covered with Eczema for the first five years of my life. It’s also an autoimmune disorder. I learned many years later in a college class on Child Growth and Development that Eczema is a psychosomatic (mind to body) reaction to stress. It made perfect sense to me, not in that my early childhood years were stressful, but that my father died test piloting a new jet while still in the Naval Reserves in 1952, and my mother was just 3 months pregnant with me. And with two little boys in tow, I was to be her third Caesarian Section, unheard of in those days, thus quite risky. Suffice it to say, her stress became my stress. So that’s why I’m asking you about stress and trauma. I have heard that stress and trauma cause autoimmune disorders. Austrian (?) Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk and Canadian Gabor Mate, MD, have both written books on this issue. And both are here on YT. Your thoughts?

After 10 years in the mental health system in and out of institutions, a psychiatrist came up to me one day and said "there's something different about you, I'm sending you to a neurologist." It took that neurologist literally 10 minutes to correctly diagnose me with a severe B12 deficiency. Even today I have permanent residual neurological damage from that, but injecting B12 every month now has literally saved my life. God bless her and everybody else who has been through this hell.

      The thing is, the symptoms of autoimmune diseases are usually non-specific, and there are a lot of people with symptoms that could theoretically be caused by autoimmune disease, but actual autoimmune diseases like SLE are extremely rare. So the doctor has to try and find the one person with a serious autoimmune disease out of dozens or hundreds of patients who have symptoms that could potentially be associated with such disease but don't actually have it.
      Usually the sign that the non-specific symptoms are in reality something serious are a. they last longer that you'd expect, or b. they evolve into something more serious. In both of these cases the disease will be diagnosed "late", and in hindsight it can be pointed out that those early symptoms that were ignored were the first signs of the disease. This can be very frustrating to the patient, but usually the doctor didn't do it out of malice or neglect (there are asshole doctors as well who genuinely don't care but they are a minority), but because he's met a hundred patients with the same exact symptoms and none of them had any serious illness, and that made him biased

      @@exantiuse497 SLE is on the uncommon side, but it does not qualify as a rare disease. UCTD is a catch-all diagnosis for those who are showing some signs in their blood and body that could eventually grow into a full blown autoimmune disease, and it’s a lot more common. If you start someone like that on something benign like plaquenil if it’s looking vaguely like SLE, it can prevent evolution into a full blown disorder. I didn’t meet all the SLE criteria when i rolled up to my first and my current rheumatologist (lol to my misfortune, we got there eventually 😂), but at that point id been ignored to where my shoulder was destroyed, i had awful rashes, was sleeping 18 hours a day, and with that i had a family history of multiple autoimmune diagnoses. Plaquenil took the intensity down a bit and gave him time to keep watching me and it’s an extremely good thing he did. I could have easily been dismissed at that time and I wasn’t. I would’ve had to drop out of school, and based on my bloods that have been course-corrected he saved me from liver and thyroid damage, in addition to more joints that have flared over time. There is no reason to turn a patient away who exists in a grey area. especially if they’ve got something specific to a disease like a malar rash. I understand doctors have a lot moving through their heads and it sucks to have patients that exist outside of a neat box, but writing someone off as anxious or lazy is unacceptable. It may be the case in some, but do some due diligence first.

Anti-Depressants has been shown to help with pain. It's not all in your head, yet your brain does interpret the signals from your nerves. Everyone's pain is complex and multiple things can cause it/affect your body and in turn cause issues. Keep in mind that pain is still tough for scientists and doctors to fix/understand. You can't expect things to just go away when a lot of the time scientists don't even fully understand pain or how the human body functions in certain situations. There's not a cure-all for chronic pain. You have to diagnose why you're hurting, figure out any potential illness/injury, then try try over and over to do different things to provide relief. Giving up really doesn't help your cause. You need to fight to live and do what you can to live with the pain. After 20 years of failed surgeries, lack of pain relief, physical therapy, and many different treatments, I have come to accept that my conditions are permanent. It sucks, but science can't fix me anymore. Doctors all over have told me they've done all they can for me. So if I go into it knowing this pain is a part of me, then I can just live and take it easy.

Nurse P decided to listen to him say it’s prob a flu. Five more days went by, still very low off his drugs. She kept saying it’s prob flu. He died right in front of me. She should have sent him for a heart consult immediately or hospital.
      I had kept telling him, think of a car, it can’t run without oil pressure. Something is wrong. I’d called the office repeatedly. No one listened, nurse left for Florida for two years.

      That's true. I think her point was that listening to the patient is the best place to start, instead of making up your mind and then stubbornly dismissing them. It's probably worth mentioning, too, that she's spent a significant amount of time practicing in parts of the world where she wouldn't have had access to much sophisticated diagnostic equipment, so I think she had to learn a lot more less precise "rule of thumb" types of working, just to be able to do anything at all. In that case, carefully listening to what your patients are feeling and how they interpret those feelings might in many cases literally be the best you can do.

She started drinking 35% Food Grade H202 diluted in distilled water (25 drops of 35% diluted in 8oz. of distilled water) 3 times a day and slept with the same solution in a humidifier next to her pillow at night. In 2-3 weeks, she was off of her oxygen 95% of the time and her stress test and oxygen levels were in normal range. Her doc told her that whatever she was doing to keep doing it. Drinking or inhaling 35% Food Grade peroxide straight/undiluted will cause problems. But when it is diluted properly it can cure terminal health conditions with zero side effects.

    My mom was like this. Had sciatica and numbness in my legs starting at 16, and she downplayed it to doctors or wouldn’t even take me to see them about it. 6 years later and I found out I have DDD and was born with thin disks. Because I didn’t get any treatment or even a diagnosis until a few years ago, I now have bulging disks, herniated disks, arthritis and stenosis in my spine, and very recently one of the bulges broke off of the disk and is pressing into 2 nerves (one being my sciatic nerve) 24/7, non stop. I’m only 26 and my only option is surgery, and that won’t even fix the underlying issue. I live in unrelenting chronic pain that makes it nearly impossible to sleep or eat (lost 15lbs in a month and get an average 2-3 hours a sleep a night).
    Parents, please believe your kids when they say something isn’t right.
    Update: long story short, my mom has also never told me who my father really is, I had an idea of who he was but she constantly denied it. Well, the reason I wanted to know is because they have a rare genetic disease in their family that I just recently found I have all the symptoms of. A decade of begging who my father is just so I could get tested for my undiagnosed worsening neurological issues only to find out I may have Friedrich’s Ataxia.
    With this discovery I’ve cut all contact with my mother. Never have I been more angry with anyone I’ve ever met than with her. My life is ruined, I could’ve gotten treatments years ago only if she put her pride aside and made sure her child was alright, but I guess that’s too much for some people. Hopefully getting tested before the year is out, but please parents, don’t EVER do anything my mother has done.
    I’m very quickly having to face the horrifying reality that I’ll probably be wheelchair bound in a hand full of tears, not be able to take care of my son alone, and even having to scale back or close my dream business.

    I was lucky in a few ways. 1) My parents weren’t hostile about my symptoms. 2) I was insured. 3) I lived in the greater Houston area and had access to specialists.
    Even with those benefits, it took two years of doctor after doctor; all of which came with stress tests, EKGs, snide comments about my weight (high end of normal), and accusations of hypochondria. After the second cardiologist, even my mom started thinking I was making it up.
    I finally had one order a tilt test, tell my mom what was happening when I would pass out, and put me on medication. I got better and even went asymptomatic for a while. Even with that success, I still didn’t find out the name of my condition until my GP told me after my symptoms started back up. I was 32 before I ever heard the word Dysautonomia.

I finally had diagnosis for one, but I got to the point where I couldn't afford medication anymore and the meds had bad side effects. After I lost my insurance, I went online and I ended up finding a naturopathic website that recommended a certain grain-free diet and I tried it and my symptoms miraculously went away. Turns out I had Celiac Disease and cutting out the gluten stopped the neurological symptoms. Celiac runs in my family big time, but at that point only a couple of us had been diagnosed and my blood tests were borderline and thus deemed 'normal.' It would be another 6 years before I finally got diagnosed. Sometimes alternative medicine has really negative consequences, like in the story here, but sometimes it actually helps. I'm able to manage all of my symptoms with diet now. No more medication. It's fantastic.

    Man, the second you said muscle aches, headaches, and a rash on the face, my first thought was lupus. Then you said autoimmune disease and I went yes!! I have SLE myself and experienced what I thought was an eating disorder, horrible headaches, and the classic butterfly face rash and doctors just told me I "wasn't eating enough". Nope. Almost killed me. Always makes me sad when patients end up turning to alternative methods because they didn't get the care they needed in time!
    Edit: Just to clarify, when I said "doctors" told me I wasn't eating enough, I mostly meant my PCP. Once you start talking to specialists, especially rheumatologists in this case, you start to hear people take you very seriously. Don't discredit the entire medical field, they saved my life!

      Your immune system regularly produces hydrogen peroxide to deal with bacteria. It is perfectly acceptable and effective and cleaning out minor scratches or wounds. Any claim otherwise is ridiculous. If the wound is deep and/or moderate to heavy blood coagulation and have to clean it out just use saline. With deep cut you can take a syringe with a needle and stick it through the bottom of a paper cup and use it as a splash guard while using the syringe and needle as a high pressure spray if need be.

    Embarrassed to say I made a similar mistake when I was younger. I had been working for a company that refurbished decommissioned IT equipment back in the golden age of beige, lol. I was experimenting with using bleach to lighten the yellowing that often occured with older beige colored computer towers.
    I didn't have liquid bleach at the shop, but I found some of the powdered stuff in the restroom. I went to the office water dispenser and grabbed a paper cup to mix my water/bleach solution so I could begin scrubbing the computer cases with it. At some point in the day I had become very thirsty and reached for my paper cup of water. I slammed it like a shot, so it was fully ingested by the time I realized I had mistaken my water cup with the bleach mix cup. I knew some poison labels would say things like "do not induce vomiting". I figured that was due to the corrosive nature of some liquids people might accidentally ingest. I was incredibly embarrassed and didn't want to overreact by calling for emergency help. So I did what I thought best: I googled it. From what I read at the time, it appeared I was likely going to be ok, but I should avoid inhaling after any burps, as there was a chance that the acid in my stomach could break the bleach down and release chlorine gas. I joked with a coworker that I was now classified as a chemical weapon of war and went on with my day, no worse for wear but still kicking myself for making such an avoidable mistake.

      Oh yikes! If anything like that happens again, god forbid or to anyone else reading, it's important to remember to drink lots of water as well to dilute the bleach so it's less corrosive in your stomach. Yes, you don't vomit so that you don't cause worse burns on the way back up.
      The golden age of beige cracked me up though.

    This story completely resonated with me. I was on these medical-self-help forums back in the day when feeling very unwell but with symptoms too general to be easily diagnosed. It's true that if your symptoms don't fall neatly into a specific disease category doctors will say you're probably suffering from a depression. It takes people years to diagnose autoimmune disorders or endometriosis.
    Currently you need to really learn to advocate for yourself at the doctor's office and pay for some private medical testing out of pocket to get your diagnosis.

      Have you ever looked at your medical records? I've found that if the doctors/nurses don't come to a clear diagnosis, they will sometimes just sort of manufacture one in the notes. Sometimes they call it a mental health problem, sometimes it's just the wrong diagnosis. Or sometimes they just seem to leave out any symtoms they don't feel like dealing with. I've had important symtoms left out of my medical records, ones that I was mentioning over and over, again.

If I hadn't of met my wife, and her pushed me to get answers, I probably would've taken that long to get diagnosed. I can't count the number of doctors that told me it was in my head and I just needed to suck it up. 2000% agree that if your symptoms don't fit something perfectly most doctors in America just shuffle you out of their office.

    There is a process to taking 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. This was an accident. The way 35% fghd is taken is suppose to be minimum. A few drops in water not a whole glass. I take this product and I dilute it to put on my plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is an over growth of skin cells which builds up and causes thickening. 35% FGHD causes skin cells to slow down. Hence my plaque psoriasis is going away. Now taking it ingested it's suppose to be done without food in your stomach. You start with 2 drops 3 times a day, you can eat an hour after taking it or 3 hours after you've eaten. Each day you add another drop to it until you've reached 25 drops, then you start working your way down. Removing a drop each day. The reason this works is oxygen kills many diseases in your body with the oxygen. Now doctors like this guy would tell you it's bad because he's not getting patients if this is working.
    This poor girl had an accident and made a mistake. She harmed herself by placing something in a different container. It is serious to drink this stuff straight without dilution. 25 drops is the max you can ingest. She drank more then her body can take. Research things before just doing what you do without knowledge about it. If people had listened to her in her youth she worksheets have seeked treating herself. This is on her parents. A friend had an infected toe and diluted this stuff and his fungus is gone. We put hydrogen peroxide on wounds, this is food grade but still very toxic if ingested in its full strength.
