Hydrogen peroxide tablets for wellness

Hydrogen peroxide tablets for wellness

In this episode of the Chasing Eden Podcast: Rediscovering your body’s divine design, host Caroline Thompson explores the role of oxygen in health and why hydrogen peroxide tablets continue to surface as an affordable, accessible wellness tool. Drawing from history, biology, and modern wellness conversations, the episode explains how oxygen supports cellular energy, immune signaling, and overall vitality—and why many people feel priced out of health solutions that should be foundational, not exclusive.The conversation also examines why experts like Gary Brecka, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Eric Berg, Dave Asprey, and Dr. Barbara O’Neill emphasize oxygen balance, oxidative signaling, and environmental health. Rather than promoting fear or extremes, this episode empowers listeners to think practically about oxygen-supportive living, environmental hygiene, and personal stewardship of health. It’s a grounded, educational discussion for those seeking simple, affordable ways to support their health journey with wisdom and discernment.

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:28.120
Welcome back to Chasing Eden, Rediscovering your Body's divine design.

2
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:34.840
I'm your host, Carolyn Thompson, and today's conversation is for

3
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.960
people who feel like modern health has become unnecessarily complicated,

4
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.960
expensive and out of reach. If you've ever thought things

5
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.000
like there has to be something simpler, or there has

6
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.119
to be something affordable, or maybe there has to be

7
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.840
a way regular people used to support their health before

8
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:04.840
everything requires a prescription, then today's episode is for you.

9
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:11.120
We are going to talk about hydrogen peroxide tablets, not

10
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.760
as a fad, not as a miracle cure, and not

11
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.319
as a rebellion against medicine, but as an oxygen support

12
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:27.519
concept that has deep historical roots and modern relevance. This

13
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:35.159
episode is about understanding, not fear. It's about empowerment not dependency,

14
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:40.120
and it's about restoring confidence that your body was designed

15
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:46.799
to heal, adapt and function when it's supported instead of suppressed.

16
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.840
So let's get started. Before we ever talk about peroxide tablets,

17
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:59.959
we have to talk about oxygen. Oxygen is not optional,

18
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.239
It is not supplemental, It is foundational. Every cell in

19
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.520
your body relies on oxygen to produced energy through a

20
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:19.639
process called aerobic respiration inside the mitochondria. Oxygen allows glucose

21
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:25.639
and fatty acids to be converted into at P, the

22
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.560
fuel that powers everything from muscle movement to brain activity.

23
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.840
Think of it like the body's battery. When oxygen utilization

24
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.120
is compromised, people experience things like chronic fatigue, poor recovery,

25
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:51.400
brain fog, inflammation, and slowed immune response. This is why

26
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:57.879
oxygen has fascinated physicians, biologists, and researchers for well over

27
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:06.479
a century. Before modern pharmaceuticals, doctors understood something simple. When

28
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:13.719
oxygen availability improves, function improves. That understanding is what gave

29
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.400
rise to oxygen therapies, ozone therapies, hyperbaric chambers, and yes,

30
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:27.960
peroxide based discussions. Human biologist Gary Breca says this on

31
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:33.039
oxygen and peroxide signaling. Quote. Oxygen is one of the

32
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:38.680
most overlooked drivers of human health. The body uses controlled

33
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.479
oxidative signals, including hydrogen peroxide, as part of immune defense

34
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:52.479
and cellular communication. Health isn't about eliminated oxidation, it's about

35
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:59.680
regulating it properly. Unquote. The body already uses peroxide in

36
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.520
this does matter. So here's a fact that surprises people

37
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:12.639
that your body already produces hydrogen peroxide. Immune cells generate small,

38
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.680
tightly controlled amounts of peroxide as part of what is

39
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.839
called the oxidative burst. This is a mechanism used to

40
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.000
neutralize pathogens and signal immune responses. This tells us something

41
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:33.759
really important. Hydrogen peroxide is not inherently toxic in biological systems.

42
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:42.839
It is context dependent. Problems arise when oxidation is uncontrolled, excessive,

43
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.680
or improperly introduced. This is where wisdom, not fear, belongs

44
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:58.199
in the conversation. Hydrogen peroxide was discovered in eighteen eighteen

45
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:04.759
by French chemist Lewis Jacques de Nard. Very quickly scientists

46
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.319
recognized its powerful oxidative properties. By the late eighteen hundreds

47
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.920
and early nineteen hundreds, peroxide compounds were being explored for

48
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:22.480
things like wound care, sanitation, infection control, water purification, and

49
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:29.959
surgical hygiene. At that time, medicine had limited tools, antibiotics

50
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.399
did not yet exist. Physicians worked with what they understood

51
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:43.879
environmental conditions. One recurring observation kept appearing oxygen rich environments

52
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:50.319
were hostile to decay and infection. This led to widespread

53
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:56.279
uses of peroxide solutions in hospitals, homes, and military settings.

54
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.600
It also laid the groundwork for later oxygen and centered

55
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:09.519
theories of health. Doctor Andrew Huberman says this about oxygen utilization.

56
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:14.560
Quote The effectiveness of oxygen in the body isn't just

57
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.160
about how much you breathe in, but how well your

58
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.920
cells can use it. Oxygen utilization, carbon dioxide tolerance, and

59
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:35.360
metabolic efficiency all shape health outcomes. Unquote. No historical discussion

60
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.000
of oxygen and health is complete without mentioning doctor Auto Warburg.

61
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.079
Warburg was a German biochemist who won the Nobel Prize

62
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.560
in nineteen thirty one for his work on cellular respiration.

63
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.720
He observed that healthy cells generate energy primarily through oxygen

64
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:04.800
dependent respiration, and certain diseased cells rely heavily on fermentation

65
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:11.079
even when oxygen is present. This phenomenon became known as

66
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:17.000
the Warburg effect. Now here's the important clarification that often

67
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.439
gets lost online. Warburg did not promote peroxide ingestion. He

68
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:29.959
did not suggest chemical shortcuts. What he emphasized was metabolic environment.

69
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.920
His work fueled decades of interest in things like oxygen utilization,

70
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:44.639
cellular metabolism, and mitochondrial efficiency. That interest eventually spilled into

71
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:52.399
alternative and integrative medicine, sometimes wisely, sometimes recklessly. Our job

72
00:07:52.600 --> 00:08:00.639
is to separate insight from exaggeration. Now, biohacker Dave Asbury

73
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:08.000
says this quote, small controlled oxidative stress can be beneficial

74
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:15.560
and adaptive, while chronic or uncontrolled oxidation accelerates aging. The

75
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:25.839
key is understanding dosage, context and recovery. Hydrogen peroxide tablets

76
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.600
are starting to become more popular on social media platforms,

77
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.279
and some people are actually starting to take them on

78
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.120
a regular basis, and not just for things like travel

79
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.960
to boost their immune system or when they're starting to

80
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:44.600
fell sick over the holidays from eating too much sugar. So,

81
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:49.240
hydrogen peroxide tablets were developed primarily for practical external purposes

82
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:58.759
water purification, oral hygiene, sanitation, and emergency preparedness. When dissolved,

83
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.279
they release oxygen. That simple fact is why they continue

84
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.759
to appear in wellness conversations. People look at peroxide tablets

85
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:13.320
and they think this releases oxygen. Oxygen supports life. Could

86
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.559
this help me support my health affordably? And that curiosity

87
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.720
is understandable and it deserves a thoughtful answer and not

88
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:26.360
to be dismissed. Let's pause for a moment. When we

89
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.799
come back, we'll move from history into benefits, modern discussions

90
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:39.240
and why people experience these tools as empowering rather than intimidating.

91
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:09.639
When people discover hydrogen peroxide tablets, they usually aren't looking

92
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:16.080
for something extreme. They're looking for things like energy, clarity, resilience,

93
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.639
control over their health, and most of all, something they

94
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:25.879
can afford. And this matters because modern health has become

95
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:33.039
increasingly expensive and increasingly abstract. Many people feel locked out

96
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:39.519
of participation unless they have insurance specialists or ongoing prescriptions.

97
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.559
Hydrogen peroxide tablets represent the opposite of that model. They're simple,

98
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:52.159
they're accessible, they're inexpensive, and psychologically that alone is powerful.

99
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.879
People don't just want health, they want agency. One reason

100
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.919
peroxide tablets continue to re surface is because oxygen is

101
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:08.879
not a trend nutrient. It is universal. Every system in

102
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:15.200
the body responds to oxygen availability. Are immune cells, muscle tissue,

103
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.919
brain tissue, connective tissue. And something that's become a lot

104
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.879
more popular and concerning more people these days is the

105
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:30.519
gut environment. This is why oxygen focused health ideas appear

106
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:36.320
across cultures and eras, not because people were reckless, but

107
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:43.879
because the observed patterns. When oxygen flow improved, outcomes often improved.

108
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:50.120
Human biologist Gary Breca often describes oxygen as a primary

109
00:11:50.279 --> 00:12:02.960
biological signal. He explains that cells interpret oxygen availability as information, grow, repair, conserve, defend.

110
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:09.360
In this context, hydrogen peroxide is not framed as a drug.

111
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:14.679
It's framed as part of the body's redox communication system,

112
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:23.159
which includes both oxidation and antioxidant defenses. That balance is everything.

113
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.440
Doctor Eric Berg says this on oxygen and immune function.

114
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:36.279
Pathogens tend to thrive in low oxygen, high toxicity environments.

115
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:43.200
Healthy cells prefer efficient oxygen utilization and metabolic flexibility. The

116
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:49.799
immune system uses oxidative processes to neutralize threats, but antioxidant

117
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:55.879
systems must be strong enough to prevent collateral damage. Improving

118
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.399
oxygen delivery and nutrient status often does more for health

119
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.639
then aggressive interventions. I know that's a mouthful, but there's

120
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.240
a lot to be taken in through that information, a

121
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:17.879
lot to be considered. At first glance, calling hydrogen peroxide

122
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.720
an antioxidant seems confusing because it is an oxidizer. But

123
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:30.120
here's the nuance that matters in biology. Oxidation is not

124
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:37.840
inherently bad unregulated oxidation is bad. The body uses controlled

125
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:46.480
oxidation to fight pathogens, signal immune responses, stimulate adaptation, and

126
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:53.080
then it uses antioxidants to neutralize xcess oxidative stress, prevent

127
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:58.879
tissue damage, and restore equilibrium. You know, it's my belief

128
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.799
that they should be teaching us biology from kindergarten. They

129
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.200
just need to start with with pictures, diagrams or whatever

130
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.679
these things like. If you wait to take a biology course,

131
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.799
like a just a basic biology course until college, you

132
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.559
may have not had a lot in high school. Not

133
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.840
everybody does. And then if you go take say bio

134
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.279
one oh one, it can be very confusing and seem

135
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.960
very complex. But the more that you are exposed to

136
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:35.480
biological concepts and phrases and words and things like that,

137
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.159
the more you learn, the easier it becomes, and you

138
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.600
start to think, wait a second, this wasn't that complicated

139
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:44.559
after all. I just hadn't been exposed to this information before.

140
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.639
And what you really need is exposure, because I believe

141
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.279
knowledge is power, and the more that you can learn

142
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.159
about the process of the human body, about the way

143
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.000
cells work, about the way that they function, about the

144
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.720
way that they get rid of pathogens, and the way

145
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.039
that they take in nutrients. The more empowered you are,

146
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.039
the more understanding you have of your body, the more

147
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.799
motivated you are to do what is right for your

148
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.919
body now. Human biologist Gary Breca has explained that peroxide

149
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.879
plays a role in the signaling phase of the antioxidant response,

150
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:27.919
meaning it helps trigger the system that ultimately restores balance,

151
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.320
and this is why people describe peroxide tablets as supporting

152
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:41.120
immune readiness, encouraging detox pathways, improving cellular alertness. The benefit

153
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:47.879
here is not saturation, it's stimulation of natural response systems.

154
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.879
We want to assist our body in doing what it

155
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.200
does best. We want to help our immune system to

156
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:03.840
function maximum right. So let's talk plainly about the benefits

157
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.960
people say the experience and why those reports continue to persist.

158
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.679
A lot of people are saying they have more energy

159
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.240
and clarity as a result of using these and a

160
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.519
lot of people on social media will say that they

161
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.639
haven't been sick in a very long time in years

162
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:24.679
after taking these hydrogen peroxide tablets. Many people associate oxygen

163
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:31.559
support with improved alertness, reduced sluggishness, better mourning energy, and

164
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:37.679
less heaviness in the body. This aligns with basic physiology.

165
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:45.480
When oxygen utilization improves, ATP production improves, metabolic waste clears

166
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:51.679
more efficiently, and tissues recover faster. People don't always describe

167
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.320
this scientifically. They see things like I just feel lighter,

168
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.759
I feel more awake, I don't crash the same way

169
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:06.880
those subjective experiences matter. Another major reason people value peroxide

170
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.519
tablets is immune confidence, not immunity, as in they never

171
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:13.880
get sick, though a lot of people are claiming this,

172
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:19.440
but confidence that their environment is supportive not hostile. Peroxide

173
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:27.000
tablets are widely used for water purification, travel hygiene, emergency preparedness,

174
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:33.720
oral and surface sanitation. These uses reduce pathogen load, which

175
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:40.400
reduces immune burden. This is empowering because it's proactive, it's affordable,

176
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:46.599
and it's within personal control. Doctor Eric Berg often emphasizes

177
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.400
that immune health improves when the body is not constantly

178
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:57.559
fighting unnecessary battles. Peroxide tablets give people a way to

179
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:05.720
reduce background stress without pharmaceuticals. Even when peroxide tablets are

180
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:11.039
used externally or environmentally, people often describe a sense that

181
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:16.720
their overall system feels cleaner. This isn't mystical when oral

182
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:24.880
environments improve water quality, improves, microbial exposure decreases, the body

183
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:32.480
reallocates energy away from defense and toward repair. Human well,

184
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:38.920
i'll say human biologists, okay. Biohacker Dave Asprey has repeatedly

185
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:46.440
explained that reducing hidden biological stressors can have outsized effects

186
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.680
on energy, mood, and recovery. This is one reason peroxide

187
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:58.960
based hygiene practices have persisted across generations. So here's something

188
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:05.920
rarely discussed in health conversations. Cost shapes consistency. If something

189
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.799
is expensive, complicated, or intimidating, people will often abandon it.

190
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:19.079
Hydrogen peroxide tablets are inexpensive, simple, familiar, and this leads

191
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:24.759
to consistent use, habit formation, and reduced anxiety around your health.

192
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:33.759
Consistency beats perfection every time. So let's pause again. When

193
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.640
we come back, we'll talk about how people practically integrate

194
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:42.240
peroxide tablets into a broader health journey, how this fits

195
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:47.359
alongside breath work, movement, and nutrition, and why this approach

196
00:19:47.680 --> 00:20:09.759
resonates so deeply. By now you can probably sense why

197
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:14.839
hydrogen peroxide tablets have never truly disappeared from health conversations.

198
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:20.839
They aren't trendy, they aren't flashy, flashy, and they aren't expensive.

199
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:27.400
They are very practical, and practicality builds trust. Most people

200
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.680
who incorporate peroxide tablets into their health journey aren't doing

201
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:37.000
it by being radical. They aren't chasing extremes. They're simply

202
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.359
trying to create an environment, both internal and external, that

203
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.319
places less burden on their bodies. And that's an important distinction,

204
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.440
because health isn't always about adding something new. Often it's

205
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:54.200
about reducing what the body has to fight against. Doctor

206
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:58.640
Barbara O'Neil says this about oxygen and the body. The

207
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.160
body was designed to heal when its basic needs are

208
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:08.880
met clean air, clean water, proper circulation, and rest. Oxygen

209
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.759
is fundamental to every healing process. Without it, the body

210
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:20.240
cannot repair or regenerate effectively. Nature uses simple principles. When

211
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:28.759
the environment supports life, the body responds accordingly. Now, modern

212
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:36.200
health discussions often focus inward supplements, diets, protocols, but they

213
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:43.640
frequently ignore something foundational, environmental load. The body is constantly

214
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.240
interacting with the air we breathe, the water we drink,

215
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:53.400
the surfaces we touch, the microbes we encounter. When those

216
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:58.680
environments are hostile, the immune system stays in a defensive posture,

217
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.119
which and peroxide tablets have long been used as environmental

218
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:09.359
tools for safer water when traveling, for oral hygiene routines,

219
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:16.720
for surface sanitation, and for emergency preparedness kits. These applications

220
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:21.799
matter because they reduce the background microbial stress, they support

221
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:28.000
cleaner inputs, and they lower the demand on immune resources.

222
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:33.519
Doctor Eric Berg frequently emphasizes that immune health improves when

223
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:39.039
the body isn't constantly quote putting out fires unquote. When

224
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:45.839
environmental stress is reduced, the body reallocates energy toward repair, digestion,

225
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:50.759
and regulation. This is where peroxide tablets quietly fit in.

226
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.920
So let's talk about how people actually integrate these tools

227
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.960
without dramatics emergency preparedness. One of the most common reasons

228
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.000
people keep peroxide tablets on hand is travel. When traveling,

229
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:13.440
water quality is uncertain, hygiene conditions vary, and immune systems

230
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:17.559
are already stressed out. Peroxide tablets have historically been used

231
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:23.119
for water purification in emergency or travel situations, providing peace

232
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.359
of mind when clean water access isn't guaranteed. That sensor

233
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:33.759
preparedness reduces stress, and stress reduction alone improves our health outcomes.

234
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:41.319
Oral and dental hygiene support. Another widely accepted use in

235
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.279
oral care return routines is where proxide beast products have

236
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.640
long been utilized in things like your gum health, unwanted

237
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:56.279
oral bacteria, and maintaining cleaner oral environments. Now, if you're

238
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.359
like me, you've probably brushed your teeth with hydrogen peroxide.

239
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.359
I wouldn't say to just go run out and do

240
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:06.519
what I did and squirt it on your toothbrush and

241
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:09.400
brush your teeth, but it makes a great teeth whitener

242
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.119
in it it feels really really refreshing afterwards. Oil health

243
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.759
is not cosmetic, it's actually systemic. The mouth is one

244
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:21.039
of the primary gateways into the body. Reducing microbial burden

245
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:25.839
there reduces immune activation downstream and other parts of the body.

246
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.799
So Gary Breca often stresses that chronic inflammation frequently begins

247
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:35.519
and overlook places like the mouth long before symptoms appear elsewhere.

248
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.119
I also, as far as getting teeth whiter, I just

249
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:45.599
discovered something in the way of activated charcoal capsules. I

250
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.079
all will open one of those up into a little dish,

251
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.920
and then I will put in some bentonite clay, and

252
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:53.960
then I turn that into a paste and I'll brush

253
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.960
my teeth with that, and that is really a great

254
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:03.240
teeth whitener and mouth cleanser as well. So homes carry

255
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.640
invisible biological stress that we don't think about oftentimes in

256
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:12.559
our day to day routines, like things like mold, spores, bacteria, biofilms,

257
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:19.640
and surface contamination. Using oxygen releasing sanitation tools helps people

258
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:24.039
feel proactive rather than reactive. And this isn't about sterility sterility.

259
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:28.119
It's really about reasonable cleanliness that supports health rather than

260
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:31.079
undermining it. We know that there's a lot of cleaning

261
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.279
supplies out there that are not good for our health.

262
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.720
People are becoming more aware of these items that they're

263
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:40.480
very toxic, and you don't just want to wear gloves,

264
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.759
You actually need a mask, and you probably just don't

265
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:44.920
want to bring them in your house at all because

266
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.759
they are very bad for you. One of the things

267
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.880
that people are talking about right now is how listine

268
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.480
started out as a cleaner, and I can't remember what

269
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.279
it was specifically for, but it actually started out as

270
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:01.400
a cleaner and somehow ended up being a mouthwash. That's

271
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:07.559
pretty interesting. So when health tools are affordable, as far

272
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:13.480
as the hydrogen peroxide tablets. We can actually build healthy

273
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:16.119
habits with them that are consistent. Like I said before,

274
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.759
and when the tools get more expensive, we tend to hesitate.

275
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.559
And if you're like me and you have a budget

276
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:24.920
that you like to try to stick to, sometimes you

277
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:29.000
will forego something you normally get because it's super expensive.

278
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:31.400
So I like the fact that this is an affordable

279
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:36.799
way to help to assist your immune system in without

280
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.640
having to break the bank. One of the most fascinating

281
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:44.359
aspects of this topic is how modern science keeps circling

282
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.079
back to ancient observations. And we've talked about this before.

283
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:54.039
Long before molecular biology was a thing, people observed that

284
00:26:54.359 --> 00:27:01.200
decay avoided oxygen rich environments, cleanliness reduced illness, air water

285
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:05.960
and light mattered. And again light, especially when we talk

286
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.119
about sunlight. People are now starting to rediscover the benefits

287
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:13.880
of the sun because the sun actually kills bacteria. And

288
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.200
it was actually really wonderful that people used to hang

289
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.279
their clothes out on the line, their sheets, and their pillowcases.

290
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.440
Now that everybody's online talking about how much bacteria gathers

291
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.960
up in your pillowcase over twenty four hour period, it's

292
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.759
nice to know you can throw your sheets in your

293
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:31.599
pillowcase out in the sun, and that the sun would

294
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:36.240
take care of all the bacteria and sterilize it for you. Today,

295
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:42.599
researchers talk about things like mitochondrial efficiency, redog's balance, oxygen signaling,

296
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:48.240
oxidative stress versus anyoxidant capacity, and it's like a different language,

297
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.519
but it's pretty much the same principle. Doctor Andrew Huberman

298
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:57.240
frequently explains that the nervous system and metabolic system responds

299
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:03.839
to inputs, non intentions, occidant availability, breath patterns, and environmental

300
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:10.759
conditions directly shape physiological outcomes. Hydrogen peroxide tablets sit at

301
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.680
the intersection of old wisdom and modern understanding when approached

302
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:20.200
with respect and moderation. If you're like me, you get

303
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.960
excited about something new like this, and then you might

304
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.680
go overdo it. So just be thinking about the moderation part.

305
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:31.319
As I'm getting older and having more experience in wisdom,

306
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.720
I'm starting to go slow with some of this stuff

307
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:38.559
and not hit myself so hard when I discover something

308
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.759
new get so excited about it that I overdo it.

309
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.480
It's always best to ease into something that you haven't

310
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:50.119
already done, so it's worth acknowledging something honest. Topics like

311
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:54.680
peroxide tablets make people uncomfortable because they challenge the idea

312
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:58.079
that health must be expensive. They suggest people can do

313
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:02.680
something without permission, right, because we all were taught to

314
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.720
be dependent on our physicians. Everybody has a doctor, and

315
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.640
everybody wants to know answer to the doctor for what

316
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.599
they do for their health. They want to ask is permission.

317
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.440
But hydrogen peroxide tablets are available to the general public,

318
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:20.480
and this is something you can do on your own.

319
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:24.119
I would say, go research and decide if it's something

320
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:29.640
for you. It's important to revisit the things that may

321
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:32.720
have been forgotten with time. At one point, this was

322
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.359
a something that was well known, that hydrogen peroxide was

323
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.559
something that was used, and I remember as a kid

324
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:42.839
using hydrogen peroxide for wound care and then somewhere along

325
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.319
the line, I just got away from it. And the

326
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.640
same with iodine. I haven't seen people use iodine in

327
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.599
years on wounds. They started spraying these little antibacterial bottles

328
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:58.720
of liquid on their wounds without thinking about things like

329
00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:01.640
iodine or peroxid. Maybe you're one of those people that

330
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.400
has but to be honest, I forgot about those things

331
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.559
for a while until I started to study this stuff.

332
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:14.240
So often simple means of conversation that hasn't been framed

333
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.440
with maturity. That's what we've aimed to do here is

334
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:23.200
discuss these things with thoughtfulness and know that research has happened.

335
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:26.359
Before I bring this stuff to the table and talk

336
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.519
to you about things like peroxide tablets, I look up

337
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.839
the information, and I research, and I try to pull

338
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:36.599
out as much as I can so that I could

339
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.000
give you the best of what I found. In the

340
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:44.160
garden of Eden, metaphor, provision was built into creation. They

341
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.759
already had clean water, clean air, biological balance, and self

342
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.440
regulating systems. The farther modern life moves from those conditions,

343
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.680
the more intentional we have to become about our health.

344
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:01.000
Hydrogen peroxide tablets are not a retur Eden, but they

345
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:05.319
represent a desire to restore simplicity, and that desire is

346
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:09.720
for us all to be healthy when we return. I'll

347
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:14.960
close this episode with perspective, gratitude and an invitation to

348
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:19.440
continue building a health journey rooted in wisdom not fear.

349
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:44.119
If this episode helped you feel more informed, more confident,

00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:50.920
health journey. I'd love for you to subscribe, share, and
