Hydrogen Peroxide IV Therapy
Most people have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in their medicine cabinet. Liquid hydrogen peroxide, applied topically, is a cheap and effective way to eliminate bacteria. People use it to clean out cuts and scrapes — and more importantly, to avoid infection at the site of a wound. Studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide can actually be used in another way: through an IV, directly depositing it into the bloodstream. Keep reading to find out if peroxide IV therapy treatments are right for you.
Peroxide IV Therapy Uses
As previously stated, hydrogen peroxide is known to have numerous bacteria-killing benefits. But researchers began to wonder if it would have the same effect when administered intravenously. They concluded that peroxide IV therapy could indeed treat bacterial infections as well as many acute and chronic viral infections. They may also be beneficial for other conditions including arthritis and high blood pressure.
Hydrogen peroxide delivered intravenously could combat bacterial infections — thereby avoiding pharmaceutical-grade antibiotics. It’s well-known that while antibiotics are effective for treating infections within the body, they also wreak havoc on other systems. As the infection is cleared with antibiotics, some people could experience digestive disruption or even yeast infections as the “good” bacteria is also killed.
Common uses of hydrogen peroxide IV therapy include:
- Combating the common cold
- Easing flu symptoms
- Eliminating sinus infections
How Does it Work?
Typically a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide is used in IV treatment, which takes approximately 90 minutes to administer.
The body produces its own version of hydrogen peroxide when infection is present. Since hydrogen peroxide is comprised of oxygen, it has the ability to kill germs that cannot withstand an oxygen-rich environment. As the hydrogen peroxide makes its way into the body via the bloodstream, it is able to give the body a boost in its immune response.
Another benefit is for those who suffer from oxygen deprivation in any part of their body due to issues with their circulatory system. As they hydrogen peroxide breaks down into oxygen, the entire circulatory system is given a boost of oxygen. This oxygen also can inhibit or destroy a variety of viruses, bacteria – and potentially even cancer.
Hydrogen peroxide also enhances the body’s ability to produce white blood cells — another vital way to fight infection.
Hydrogen peroxide also:
- Breaks down calcium deposits in the blood vessels
- Eliminates cholesterol
- Gives the body the ability to easily eliminate toxins and other cellular waste products
What Other Diseases are Helped with Hydrogen Peroxide?
It’s truly incredible to read the body of research devoted to intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapies. Some additional diseases or conditions that can be helped with hydrogen peroxide IV therapy include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Allergies from the environment
- Lyme disease
- Fungal infections
- Herpes
- Mononucleosis
- Migraines
- Lung conditions, including asthma, COPD and emphysema
- Cancer

To find out if hydrogen peroxide IV therapy is right for you, visit a naturopathic doctor to discuss your symptoms or diagnosed condition. Never try to treat yourself with hydrogen peroxide intravenously at home. A Naturopathic doctor will work with you to come up with a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, and they will use a medical grade hydrogen peroxide solution to treat your condition intravenously.
