Do not try this at home - Quack Mercola Strikes Again

Mercola: "Nebulized hydrogen peroxide therapy is an inexpensive and simple way to treat most viral respiratory illnesses. All you need is a nebulizer with a face mask that covers your mouth and nose, and common household hydrogen peroxide, available at most grocery stores and pharmacies."

Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation Causing Interstitial Lung Disease

Yep, he's a quack. Unfortunate however because some of his research is credible and helpful. I think for some reason alot of these
Natural health experts go off the reservation at times. Follow the $$$$ I guess.

I don't know about doc. Mercola but I have known Dr. B for about 20 years and know he is not a quack. He has been treating patients and has not closed down his practice since this virus has begun.

This is what Dr. B uses for his patients:

For hydrogen peroxide, food grade hydrogen peroxide should be used. We mix up a bag of normal saline and add hydrogen peroxide along with minerals. It is similar to the IV version that we infuse into patients.

, I had his wife dilute food grade—35%–peroxide down to 3% using clean, sterile water. Then, 3cc of that diluted mixture was further diluted in 250 cc of normal saline. Finally, 3 cc of the saline-diluted mixture can be nebulized.

The lady with Lung damage in the study used it on a regular basis for 5 years. That is different than an acute usage for Coronavirus

Why is Dr Mercola a quack? What has he done to deserve that title?

I'm a moderator on another board. We don't allow people to use such terms. People can disagree with something or what someone says and say why, but we don't allow name calling to other posters or for third parties.

I looked at the article in question. Mercola quotes Dr. Thomas Levy for this approach and also interviewed Levy. I'm not saying I think this is a good idea, especially at 3% H2O2 concentration, however Levy does say he's used the approach. Mercola also recommends using food grade H2O2 diluted to 3% while Levy suggests using the drug store H2O2, which has other ingredients.

The linked case report is from a poster presentation, and no other details are given. For example what concentration of H2O2 was used?

Concentration would make a large difference. Dr. Brownstein's dilution is to around 0.01%.

The origin of this is perhaps Dr. Frank Shallenberger. "Shallenberger’s first actually ill test subject was his wife who had developed the initial symptoms of flu. She immediately began 10-minute treatments every waking hour, and within 72 hours, (three days), the flu was fully cured. Shallenberger was predictably amazed in that even IV hydrogen peroxide cannot resolve flu in much less time. Since Mrs. Shallenberger’s rapid recovery, Dr. Shallenberger has treated hundreds of cases of colds, flus, sinusitis, and bronchitis all with the same results." Don't know Shallenberger's concentration either.

Mercola now recommending licorice root at concentrations that can cause death.

What's next concentrated sorrell soup?
