Cheap and effective remedy for sore throat (cough) and blocked nose

Out of the many medicines and remedies that I've tried throughout my life to cure sore throats and blocked nose didn't work as good as Hydrogen Peroxide. I feel like probably all other medicine either not effective or not targeting the root cause of the problem.

Usually blocked nose and sore throat comes hand in hands since the organs is connected to one another. And the root cause of this sickness is simple some viruses that cause the mucus to filled up the nose causing it to block and eventually running down to the throat. If the mucus doesn't go away it will always be there sometimes can extend up to weeks or even months. And of course its annoying as well as frustrating.

Apart from that experiencing sore throat and stuffy nose usually result in cold fever, headache, or sometimes difficulty to breath during sleeping. Most medicine and remedies that I've tried throughout life i can name with the like of

1. Strepsils
2. Ubat Batuk Cap Ibu dan Anak
3. Woods
4. Fisherman's friend
5. Dequadin
6. Doctor's prescribed liquid medicine
7. Breacol
8. Ubat batuk cap kelapa laut
9. Lemon juice
10. Cough syrup
11. Honey



After i know the Hydrogen peroxide - I've come to realized all the listed remedies above are pretty useless because it does not tackle the real root cause of the problem which is the mucus. I know this when using the hydrogen peroxide 6% solution - when the mucus are out of my nose I can feel i am recovered from the illness right away. Although the mucus maybe back but after few days of application its all gone and well.

How i use it?

1. Add in some drops of hydrogen peroxide and add in some water. I don't really have a fixed measurement probably 1 table spoon of hyrogen peroxide mixed with quarter cup of water. Sometimes a bit more or less it doesn't really matter.

2. Get a bottle with the spray mechanism nozzle and pour the solution inside. Spray it inside the blocked nose and try to push out the mucus it should be easy. Make sure you push out all the mucus until you feel all no longer there. Be advised you will feel burning sensation when spraying inside your nose and if it is too strong just add more water.

3. Do the same measurement as in step 1 and this time keep inside a cup - use the solution to gargle several time.

4. After the mucus are gone you will feel recovered right away - this is because that is the problem.

Be warned not to try this on children especially gargle because they might accidentally swallowed it.

The many benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide

This video explains the many benefits of hydrogen peroxide. Nice and cheap stuff



This one good comment

it doesn't bleach your teeth - they are naturally white - it removes the bacteria (plaque etc) that discolours them - if you swirl it round in your mouth for a few minutes check out the colour of the stuff you spit out. That;s not what a bleach does.... H2O2 is actually what your white blood cells are - it cannot affect healthy body tisuue - put 6 drops in an ear and listen to it bubbling as it destroys the bacteris - however, if the ears are clogged with wax get a GP to wahs them out as the H2O2 is best as a maintenance application to keep ears clear and teeth white. If you put a bottle of it in the bath then fill up the bath you will be bathing in pure water after just 15 minutes - it's used to purify water in some situations around the world - iodine also purifies water - remeber however, your body doesn't make anything that will harm you and H2O2 is in fact your white blood cells.

Another great comments

I was massively skeptical to begin with, because bullshit is often wrapped in pretty words like "happy, healthy and wealthy". As for other hydrogen peroxide treatments I've not been able to find any scientifically sound studies confirming beneficial effects (fancy talk for no evidence). However it does work for bleaching teeth and reducing plaque, which isn't really surprising and has been known for a loooong time.

Here's a study from PubMed confirming it: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7500245
For all the rednecks out there, the government is on your side on this one. For the batshit crazy alternative medicine people, this isn't alternative (sorry, you're not special). For the weird guy in the video, bleaching teeth by eating apples is more natural than spraying chemicals (H2O2 is not natural medicine).

Here's a shitload of information from SCCP (Scientific Committee on Consumer Products) of the European Commission, with sources (those often lack when idiots play scientists). It's about products containing hydrogen peroxide, but the study focuses on the hydrogen peroxide part of it. http://copublications.greenfacts.org/en/tooth-whiteners/index.htm

My personal subjective opinion on this video: This guy is an idiot despite having valid points. Looks like he took something scientific and tried to sell the idea as pseudo-science, I think it takes a special kind of stupid to do that.

Also while searching I stumbled across countless articles using "studies have shown", but not a single reference to mentioned studies. Much of it was referring to bullshit, quacks and pseudo-science. It's really weird considering it's actual scientific fact and mixing in the bullshit isn't necessary, if anything it confuses people and harms the credibility of the claims presented.

So there you go guys, I sorted out the crap for you and left the truth.
