Long time since visiting this thread.
So uh... did this cure anything?
Like any other therapy, it's conditional,.and will also have side effects for some, such as weight gain. We still use it, but not in the huge "therapeutic" amounts.
For many of my issues, esp acute long covid anxiety attacks, what helped the most was sugar, caffeine, and C02 (Coke). For long covid in general, high doses of vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and some B vitamins have been really helpful. Lately I've gone back on H202, food grade for internal use, and regular H202 in a humidifier that I leave on all day.
So to answer your question (which was similar to my question in the thread title), it doesn't cure everything, but using it, along with other therapies, can be beneficial for many.
I settled on using it to stave off low blood sugar events. Couldn't get past the painful bloat at higher doses.
H2o2 in a humidifier? Tell me more. Is it for sanitary purposes or is your aim to breathe low ppm h2o2?
This book has been very helpful

I’m still using glucose, but not therapeutically. I think it’s incredible though as a tool against stress. I use two scoops in warm milk in the morning to refill glycogen stores after sleep. I use two scoops post workout in a drink for the same purpose, (also intra workout). Lastly if I feel as though my frustration is rising, I use it as needed, (less and less frequently because it has leveled up my resilience to stress).
In addition, I use it to sweeten the homemade jello/gummies I make for my kids. Nothing ends up blood sugar induced “tantrum” like these. After 6 years as a parent of two, I can safely say all tantrums are low blood sugar. Well fed children with good glycogen stores simply do not misbehave, (seriously, never).
This sounds very reasonable.

This is fascinating to me.
A few questions jump to my mind:
- Does it acutely resolve tantrum-like behavior? Do you just... give them a gummy when they start showing signs of a tantrum?
- Is there specific reasoning you prefer dextrose to table sugar for resolving low blood sugar issues?
- Do you have any concerns about "rewarding" tantrum-like behavior with a sugary treat? Or about making them dependent on it?
None of these questions are intended to be at all judgmental; as a parent of two littles myself, I'm genuinely curious to hear your perspective (as I think about whether I would potentially try something similar).

Hey! The title of this thread is about glucose curing everything, not hydrogen peroxide! Haha. Thanks for sharing this tidbit. I haven't previously encountered the claims of miracle-like results from H2O2. I'm probably primed to buy into it though, I always think of it as "magic" when you can just pour it over anything and if it is "bad" it will fizz (e.g. putting it on a cut).
Have you shared any specific anecdotes/testimonies about hydrogen peroxide benefits anywhere?
