You guys are too witty for me, I can not tell what's a joke and what is not. How true is the statement that .5% HP will kill most pathogens?
dilute hydrogen peroxide is effective for killing most bacteria - it can be used to disinfect surfaces or could be applied topically to a wound or ear infection but please do not consume hydrogen peroxide internally. BGP, I respect your opinion but as someone who works in the industry all I will say is that I strongly disagree with you. Do some people get rich in the pharmaceutical industry? - of course they do just like in every other industry but I can honestly say that I spent many years in university because I love science and so that I could work to develop treatments that improve peoples quality of life, not for the money. I'm not going to post the Hippocratic Oath for you because that would be pointless. If you truly believe that medicine was better 2000 years ago then I'm affraid we have nothing to talk about. I wish you good health but if at some point in your life you encounter an illness you may be glad that there is a pharmaceutical industry and not just a herb shop.
Awsome Beakerboy! Thanks for bringing a nice dose of articulate reality to this discussion. So... which company in phase 3 trials is most likely to make it to that 5% you think?
It says that hydrogen peroxide is good for you but how would you even put that in a humidifier? You would have to at least dilute it a little bit wouldn't you? Im not saying that I am going to try it because im not but, I would like to learn more about this.
Modern Medicine. Totally useless for my health problem. I'm one of the millions suffering from environmental illness. The last Medical Doctor that I saw was three years ago. She told me that I knew as well as she did that there was nothing she could do for me. I have a toxic overload of chemicals and heavy metals. Everyone does at least to some degree. That along with a bad diet is the major cause of ill health. We are not fighting infectious diseases, we are fighting man-made chemicals. How will adding more chemicals such as drugs heal something like that? All of the positive things said about Alternative Medicine are true. It works. It HEALS. Now I understand why allopathic medicine is so afraid of alternative medicine. Now I know why so many people over the last several decades that have claimed that they had a natural cure for cancer have mysteriously committed "suicide". There are some positive changes happening. I don't know how long it will be allowed to continue. I'm receiving treatment from a natural health practitioner. Medical doctors in this area are referring their terminal cancer patients to her. She is saving their lives just through diet and a few other simple things. As long as radiation and chemotherapy have not destroyed too much of their immune system, their medical doctor death sentence has been commuted permanently.
so you are talking about something like a holistic healer right? Maybe they can do better. You know what? When I am sick I usually try my hardest not to take any medication because I try and heal it in other ways. When I get a cold I try to eat healthier, drink tea and things like that. But sometimes medicine will help.
Sorry to say but this post makes you sound a tad out there. Certainly alternative medicine can make people think they feel better and that can lead to people becoming better. However, very few alternative medicines are proven to do anything. If it works for you, that's great. But claiming that alternative medicine is superior to traditional medicine is pretty much crap.
