my sister just sent this to me

Peroxide VS Bleach
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 countertops. This is what she
told me:
"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that
plain little ole 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.

"Peroxide was invented during WWI. 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 cutting board, pour
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 let 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 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. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help
rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

11. 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.

12. 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 tons of money in such a
simple, healthy manner!"
This information really woke me up. I hope you gain
something from it, too.

Very helpful post! I've long known that peroxide was a mild disinfectant, but not that it could do all that. I'll be trying it out.

did you know that by adding a small amount of bleach (the amount is on the bottle) to water that you're not sure is safe to drink, you will make it safe to drink? any organisms in the water will die.
