Interesting Email, FYI

Hey this sounds reasonable! Is it 100% true?? From: DGrecoe@aol.com Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:59:33 -0400 Subject: Fwd: CLOROX VERSU

CLOROX VERSUS  PEROXIDE

Clorox vs Peroxide VERY interesting and inexpensive. This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana, a doctor's wife.
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. 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 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 cap full (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for10 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 dishcloth 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 or 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. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution 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, reddish, 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 get rid of boils, fungus, or other 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 one reason why I appreciate it so much.

14. Another place it's great is in the bathroom, if someone has been careless & has peed on the floor around the toilet & it's begun to smell of urine. Just put some peroxide in a spray bottle & spray. In the blink of any eye all the smell will be gone & the bacteria eliminated!

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 a lot of money in such a simple, healthy manner! 

Clorox vs peroxide is VERY interesting. And saves money too. Pass it on!

Hi Marsha,

Yes and no to if this is 100% true.
It's more true than not.... but white vinegar is under $2.00 a gallon, and that's way cheaper than $1.00 for 8 - 10 oz of peroxide.  Peroxide will get fresh blood right out of clothes. It would take an entire bottle to whiten laundry, but it will work on some stains when they are fresh.  Oxi Clean/ Oxi boost is actually a chemical primarily composed of peroxide.  It is 100% less toxic to you and the environment than bleach.  The reason Dr.s offices don't smell like bleach is that it is terribly corrosive to metals/fabric/rubber/skin and odors are toxic so it's flagged by MDSD.  It will whiten teeth, clean wounds, but clean the mirrors with rubbing alcohol for cutting the shmutz and leaving no streaks. Generalized household disinfection.... this is less accurate.  Again, Vinegar kills 93% for household germs, bleach is 99% - but again, vinegar is not toxic.  I fill the liquid fabric dispenser with white vinegar for each load.  It whitens the clothes, cuts the soap residue that dulls colors, disinfects, and softens clothes without leaving an odor.  Fabric softeners like Bounce/Snuggle - have petroleum based products in them to hold onto the sent, they coat the clothing, and actually make clothes more flammable.....

Are you sorry you asked ????

xou, Betsi
