Should you put hydrogen peroxide on a deeply cut finger?

With a deeply cut finger, you'll want to be thinking about sutures. This isn't a classical First Aid procedure unless you're over 10 hours from help or doing military medic work. In this case, use direct presssure and a sterile gauze (or a few of them) to stop the bleeding, then bandage the gauze in place and transport to someone who can sututre the wound closed. Don't apply any antiseptic at all. In any case, while hydrogen peroxide is an excellent antiseptic, it's harsh on your cells. If I had to disinfect on-scene, I'd prefer to go with Betadyne. However, H2O2 would likely be next on my list. I might first flush a dirty wound with sterile water or normal saline. Don't use alcohol to disinfect a deep wound.


Can you use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash?

AnswerYes you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide on your face. If you have ever suffered from acne and you have those blemishes left behind on your face, know that with the help of peroxide they are not permanent. Do as I did and every night after you have cleaned your face with a facial cleaner like neutrogena or something of that sort, put some peroxide on a cotton ball and scrub your face with it. After some continuous use you will notice that your blemishes are starting to dissapear. Just because your blemishes may be gone don't discontinue the use of the peroxide because it also works as a great facial hair bleacher and facial cleanser!!!


Will hydrogen peroxide help lower cholesterol?

Yes. I lowered my cholesterol from 225 to 185 in only 2 short weeks using Hydrogen Peroxide 3 times a day on an empty stomach. I did however have pretty constant nausea, and after about 8 months on it I was having a worsening of my neuropathy due to it. I finally quit it due to these reasons, but while I was on it my cholesterol numbers were as good or better than they had been when I was on statins (statins almost killed me though). I didn't write the above - but before you take hydrogen peroxide internally be VERY careful to ensure it is very dilute-- this is one of those not quite medically approved self medication methods that may work but require great care.
