How is Food Grade different? Wow, beyond anything we could imagine or have heard commercials about! As we discovered previously, there are many uses for this natural sanitizing disinfectant that is safe for humans as well as the environment. Pharmaceutical Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is one of a few items we actually can clean and disinfect our homes with that is not only very cost effective, but less harmful for all concerned… definitely a win – win situation here!
While you can use Food Grade for all of your needs, the Pharmaceutical Grade is a more cost effective use for our cleaning needs, you can check out Part 1 by clicking on this link. Below Wake Up World explains why we should not ingest the cheaper grade.
3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore or supermarket. This product is not recommended for internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn’t be ingested. Various stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium phosphate.
35% Food Grade: This is used in the production of foods like cheese, eggs, and whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil lining of aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE.
I began using the Food Grade Peroxide for mouth and throat care many years ago after reading about what this product offers for our health in Dr. David Williams Alternatives Newsletter. He is one of the many Natural Healthcare Providers that have been fighting for our rights to have access to Natural Medicine, and dedicated to bringing us the information around preventive health. He shares this:
Hydrogen peroxide, or H2O2, is useful against so many conditions, it appears to be the closest thing to a “miracle substance” you’ll ever come across. It’s been proven to be beneficial in everything from anemia to yeast infections. (I’d bet there’s something starting with a “Z” as well.) Sticking with infections, though, H2O2 fights bronchitis, gum disease, prostatitis, sore throats, sinus infections, and ulcers. All it takes is a few drops daily of a 35 percent solution.
After re-reading the many benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide, I am going to use this wonderful solution for more than those sore throats and canker sores (it truly does eliminate them after gargling with Food Grade Peroxide only a couple of times!). In the past I was using a 3 % solution once a week to swish around my teeth – I have less plaque (I only have to get my teeth professionally cleaned about 1/3 as often with no more buildup than going every 6 months!), while enjoying the ‘side effect’ of whiter teeth. Now that I know all the preventative health benefits, and with no side effects other than feeling better, I plan to take the daily dose from here forward.
Wow, something else I just learned – the Acidic/Alkaline Balance of our bodies is also associated with being deprived of oxygen – Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is a very useful product in restoring our body’s alkaline as well as oxygen at a cellular level! Natural Cures shares:
When your body is acidic, the cells in your body are deprived of oxygen. Dozens of books, Nobel Prize winning doctors, MDs, scientists and medical researchers all have proven scientifically that when your body is flooded with oxygen and your body ph becomes balanced alkaline, diseases such as cancer cannot exist.
Viruses, such as the herpes virus also cannot exist. Degenerative disease such as MS, lupus, arthritis cannot exist. One miracle cure that can be done inexpensively at home is what’s called the hydrogen peroxide bath. There are many kinds of hydrogen peroxide. The best one to use in therapeutic cases is food grade, 35% hydrogen peroxide. But this is a very powerful substance and therefore It should be used with caution and care.
We continue on with Wake Up World’s in depth list of ways to use FOOD GRADE Hydrogen Peroxide:
Rejuvenating Detoxifying Bath
Sinus Infections
Mouthwash
Toothpaste
Tooth Ache
Tooth Whitening
Douche
Colonic or Enema
Contact Lenses – Hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant in CIBA Vision’s Clear Care no rub contact lens cleaning solution, due to its ability to break down the proteins that build up on the lense from the eye’s immune response, resulting in increased comfort for those with sensitive eyes.
Food preparation/decontamination – Combination of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide make a cheap, effective and non-toxic disinfectant agent and is said to be more effective at killing pathogens than bleach. As it is non-toxic, you can use it to cleanse cooking and food preparation areas (as well as fruits and vegetables – see #24). In tests run at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, pairing Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide mists, kills virtually all Salmonella, Shigella, or E. coli bacteria on heavily contaminated food and surfaces.
Vegetable Soak
Meat Sanitizing
Sprouting Seeds

As you can see the lack of oxygen is more than a breathing issue for our nose… in Part 3 we will look further into the healing benefits of Food Grade Peroxide “that is being suppressed in the United States… while more than 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths are using it to successfully treat practically every known disease…” aah… it is sadly amazing that we keep coming back to the almighty Power$ that be… but we have choice!
