Peroxide vs. OxiClean
(Very Interesting...) This is what Oxi clean is... did you know that???? 3% peroxide

(This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana)

I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide
you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical
field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars.'

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. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on
the bottle)

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of 'Peroxide' to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, 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 a 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 sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria.
Hold for a few minute 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 of a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid 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 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 with, and there is no smearing
which is why I love it so much for this.

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.

I also use peroxide for several reasons noted above. Wow, thanks for more ideas. I also love that it is cheap. We use it for cuts, cleaning, and more.
