Properties of hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide, more precisely, hydrogen peroxide has a chemical formula H2O2. Enters chemical reactions of oxidation and reduction to the formation of atomic oxygen. Externally, the effect of these reactions is manifested in the form of discoloration of pigments and painted substances. On the microbes, this atomic oxygen acts also destructive. For a person, concentrated solutions are dangerous, as they can cause burn Skin and mucous membranes.
In medicine, 3% hydrogen peroxide solution is used. There are still pills hydroperite, where hydrogen peroxide has a concentration of 35% and consists in a complex compound with urea (therefore the international name «Grooveritis of urea peroxide»). One pill hydroperite corresponds to 15 milliliters of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
In professional hairdressers stores you can buy 6% and 9% hydrogen peroxide solutions that are used to prepare hair paint. Hydrogen peroxide is mixed with paint immediately before applying hair. The same solutions are also attached to the paints sold in ordinary cosmetic stores, and before the colors were attached hydroperite tablets (it was necessary to measure water themselves and dissolve tablets in it). MPCs recommends that its readers choose paints containing natural components that reduce the harmful effects of hydrogen peroxide during staining, carefully comply with the requirements of the instructions for use, use shampoos and balms intended for painted hair.
Also, hydrogen peroxide is part of the injection of teeth whitening, but these funds are not entirely safe, therefore should be applied only by professional dentists. Whitening properties of hydrogen peroxide are used in industry, in paper and textile production, and disinfectants - on the milk production lines, the juices in the package of tetrapak.

For rinsing the throat and oral cavity, it is necessary to prepare a weaker solution of 0.25%: for this, a tablespoon of a 3% solution (or 1 hydroperite tablet) is dissolved in water cup. Hydrogen peroxide solution helps to painlessly remove the wound bandage from the wound. Hydrogen peroxide is used and when conducting an umbilical wound in newborns, the wound is treated with it before applying the diamond greenery solution. The impact of hydrogen peroxide on microbes is short, so further antibacterial treatment is required.
Compared to other antiseptics, such as a solution of iodine 5%, a solution of diamond greenery 1-2%, a solution of hydrogen peroxide is beneficial to the fact that it does not pinch the skin, which is important in the treatment of children. In addition, the solution is not painted, so there is no chance of staining anything. On the contrary, hydrogen peroxide solution discolor stains left after using potassium permanganate solution on various subjects. Of all antiseptics, the hemostatic effect is only at hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, we advise your readers to have hydrogen peroxide in a home first aid kit.

The technique of reception is that the hydrogen peroxide is taken, divorced in a tablespoon of water, ranging from 1 drop, increasing 1 drops every day to 10 drops, and then the course is repeated in reverse order. The author promises healing from diseases such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes, atherosclerosis, branding official medicine and pharmaceutical for the fact that they did not defeat all diseases, but only money earn.

And intravenous administration of blood serum treated with hydrogen peroxide in healthy animals causes mammary cancer.
Secondly, with regard to the formation of oxygen in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, in addition to it, free radicals are formed with a damaging effect. With the action of free radicals, scientists associate the causes and mechanisms for the development of many diseases, starting from Allergies and ending with cancer, still free radicals cause the aging of the whole organism, which is more notable to the skin.
