Hi everyone. There have been so many fascinating posts recently my head is spinning. I hope I can interpret enough of it correctly to be able to ask intelligent questions. Just ignore me if not. No luck with the archives with all of this. Thank you in advance for taking time to give any response. Here goes:
1. When a batch of EIS turns up pink, brown, or appears somehow contaminated or cloudy, I've been told to play it safe and throw it away. But,instead of throwing it out, can't I just add some h202 to clear the color (which it always does) and then use it/consume it without worry? 2. Once the h202 is added, if it isn't consumed within a certain time, can anyone estimate how long it will be before it becomes ineffective or less effective, if ever? I think I remember someone (Ode? Marshall?) stating that h202 eventually turns silver ions or particles into silver oxide (please correct me if that's wrong). Isn't silver oxide still effective as a germicide? If silver oxide is less effective than ions and particles, then, according to Marshall's experiment, can't we just add more h202 before using it to revert it back? (There's smoke coming out of my ears now.) 3. (And I've wondered about this one for some time.) Does anyone know for sure if it is safe to add and consume the regular store bought h202, rather than the food grade type? There are rumors (I've put this question to the oral peroxide and hydrogen peroxide lists before) that consuming the drug store variety is dangerous because it supposedly has more chemicals and stabilizers in it. But, isn't it the same across the board? It seems to me they would list that on the label but they don't. All mine says is "3% hydrogen peroxide" and "Purified Water". Marshall recently posted that most h202 has "acetanilide, or acetic acid amid". The MSDS on acetanilide says it is incompatible with strong oxidizers. Adding a stabilizer, as I have read, prevents the h202 from reacting to whatever it's contained in, and preserves its oxygen content. But once the h202 comes into contact with a metal like silver, or the catalase inside our bodies, won't the subsequent release of oxygen at that point immediately neutralize, obliterate or overcome the stabilizer? With that in mind, can I get a second opinion on the following excerpt taken from a report by the World Health Organization? Because it seems to me that could be what it indicates (i.e. "...the excess is destroyed.."). http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/40abcj11.htm "When hydrogen peroxide is used as an agent to reduce the number of bacteria in dairy products or other foodstuffs, the excess is destroyed. Toxicological considerations, therefore, apply only to the possible interference with the nutritional value of treated foodstuffs or the formation of toxic substances, but not to residual hydrogen peroxide. It is well known that small amounts of hydrogen peroxide given orally produce no toxicological effects, because of the rapid decomposition by the catalase of the intestinal cells. Sorry for such a long post, but I've been saving up! Thanks for being there.
