Treating yeast with hydrogen peroxide

I’ll admit that when I first learned that treating yeast infection with hydrogen peroxide could be included as a part of a holistic program, I thought it was strange. While I am very passionate about natural cures for yeast infections, I was hesitant about trying this one - that is until I learned the truth.

Did you know that your vagina actually has chemicals in it that produce hydrogen peroxide naturally and that ordinarily it will inhibit genital fungal infections? However, there are many causes of yeast infection and when they occur and the hydrogen peroxide is unable to control the causes it’s healing powers become ineffective and the results are a vaginal yeast infection.

The second surprise is that many of our fruits and vegetables have hydrogen peroxide in their juices? Some of it coming from rain, and some of it manufactured in the process of photosynthesis (General Biochemistry, Furton & Sommonds, p.338).

Eating fruits and vegetables raw ensures that we get this hydrogen peroxide into our bodies, along with valuable enzymes. Mother’s milk contains a good amount of hydrogen peroxide, and colostrum contains even more. The spring water of Lourdes, famous for its healing powers, has a very high content of naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide.

The Food & Drug Administration in Federal Regulation Vol. 46 No 6, January 9, 1981, gave the food industry the green light to use hydrogen peroxide in the packaging process. The FDA has further ruled that hydrogen peroxide can be used in the processing of cheese and cheese products, eggs and egg products, and as an antimicrobial agent in whey processing.

So in addition to the chemical composition of your system including hydrogen peroxide, you are treating yeast infection with hydrogen peroxide as you ingest some of your favorite fruits foods.

Treating yeast infection with hydrogen peroxide by mixing a solution for use as a douche is also effective because the peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, and the oxygen helps to kill off the infection. This is also very safe as the peroxide breaks down into water very quickly. It is however important to note that the solution when mixed improperly may cause a burning sensation.

Another method for treating yeast infection with hydrogen peroxide is with a bath soak. You simply have to mix a tub full of water plus a pint of full strength hydrogen peroxide and soak yourself in. It is advisable to do the baths in the mornings because it may cause disruption of sleep during the night.

Well there you have it, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about treating yeast infection with hydrogen peroxide. Though it is only a part of a holistic regimen, it’s a great start. Your permanent cure will include 5 simple steps that address your dietary needs, remedies for instant relief from itching, and lifestyle changes that will bring back balance to your system and a cure the imbalance of Candida in your system.
