I've heard nothing about it from lame stream media and know a few people that swear by it. Supposedly it helps oxygenate the cells in the body (big time paraphrasing).
Most e-net articles I've found are so anti modern medicine that I don't know how practical their advice would be, not that modern medicine is the model of practicality.
The fact that food grade hydrogen peroxide is so cheap leads me to think the testimonials have some validity. Nobody is going to get rich selling this stuff to you. why would they lie about it?
Anyone here have any first or second hand experience with using it? I could use all the oxygen I can get. thanks.

Don't do it. The 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is approved as a disinfectant for surfaces that will be in contact with food, like meat grinding equipment. It has never been approved for ingestion and the FDA has put out several warnings against its use. You will get no aerobic benefit from its use and on a good day you will probably puke, on a bad day you will likely end up in the ER. This isn't the hydrogen peroxide you mom used to pour on cuts (a practice which is now being discouraged as it does nothing to promote healing and causes some tissue injury) the 35% solution being sold online is more than 10x stronger. When using it to clean food equipment you are supposed to wear gloves and eye protection and rinse the surface and let it air dry when finished.

I'm not a doctor so you should probably talk to one before trying this stuff.

The theory here is that you take the 35% food grade H2O2 (which is the only kind of H2O2 that you can get that is not loaded with assorted stabilizers and chemicals that you don't want to put in your body), and then you dilute it well below 1% before drinking.

I have no opinion on the validity of the treatment itself. Most of the scholarly research seems to focused on describing a bunch of people dying or getting sick because too-concentrated H2O2 results in gas bubbles forming in the bloodstream. There is an accepted medical procedure that operates on the similar principle, results in H2O2 directly produced by the cells, and has a number of known uses: hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Of course, that one is a lot more expensive than drinking a few drops of food-grade hydrogen peroxide a day.

Since the FDA routinely fast tracks questionable drugs and delays European imports of long excepted treatments too often for me to accept them as the benchmark of safet.
Iodine is also a disinfectant, is dangerous if overdosed and it is necessary for cellular health.
I agree there wouldn't be a benefit in performance directly. Otherwise the pros would use it. I was hoping to find anyone that could share their experience.
If this is just another way to "detox" then I know it's a scam.

Livestrong.com has a number of articles on H202:

Not a good idea. I sincerely hope no one shows up here to share their experience.

dang I forgot about livestrong's website. It's kinda sad, but the first 20 links in an honest web search misdirect more than they direct. I guess when links are for sale we all win. good to know what to clean my industrial grinder with, thanks for that.
