Hydrogen Peroxide Foot Soaks - Skin Sensitivity
I had listened to dozens of Dr. Ali's radio programs where hydrogen peroxide foot soaks had been recommended, and I intended to do them, but I had not gotten around to actually doing it.

I started to notice a loss of sensation in the middle toes of both feet, which I attributed to my recent surgery. So my intention to do those foot soaks was renewed, but still I did not do them.

Then another symptom developed, on the calf of my right leg, the skin became sensitive to cloth rubbing against the skin. It would feel like thousands of tiny, sharp thorns – and it was dependent on the direction of the cloth's motion and the pressure of contact. But when I would try to feel the area with my hand, finger contact, skin to skin contact could not replicate the symptom. Nor could I determine anything wrong with the skin on my calf.

Then, symptom number three: This became the trigger issue so that I followed through and started to do foot soaks. When I was standing in the shower, I would feel like I was standing on a pebble, a small stone, located under the ball of my right foot. If I examined the foot, I could not feel anything unusual to my touch, but day by day it became more uncomfortable to stand on a hard surface without wearing shoes or slippers for cushioning.

So it had been weeks or months where I could identify three specific symptoms involving my right leg, foot and toes. Finally, I did my first foot soak. After 20 minutes I dried off and I experienced a noticeable difference in the pebble and also in the numbness of the three middle toes. However, I reserved judgment for the time being.

Next day, I increased the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide to achieve a 10:1 ratio. I also did a Castor oil application on the calf where I used an Ace bandage to keep the Castor oil cloth in place. On this day, while I did the foot soak, with the Castor oil cloth applied, I listened to Dr. Ali's radio program. The final summing up of the guest interview included Dr. Ali asking, 'Is there anything else that you do other than what we have discussed today?' And the guest replied, “Yes, I do hydrogen peroxide foot soaks and I do Castor oil rubs!” There I was, doing these same two techniques, and having them reinforced as a comment on the radio. But did the therapy work? Yes, indeed.

I no longer feel any of the skin sensitivity. The numbness is present, but very much reduced. The pebble is still present, but very much reduced. Standing on a hard surface is no longer uncomfortable and the shower no longer causes foot pain.

I always knew that the hydrogen peroxide foot soaks were not aimed at treating the feet, but in my case that's where I needed the relief and the foot soaks work for me.
 

Hydrogen Peroxide and Gum Damage
Does rinsing the mouth with H2O2 damage the gums? I have heard of people claiming their gums receded from using this method.

Peroxide Club Responds
Gum receding is caused by chronic infections. Peroxide in low doses (1 part in twenty or so) done three to four times a day reduces infections and inflammation. Neither our understanding nor experience supports the contention that it causes gum receding.

We suggest that you consult your dentist for occult infections.

Dr. Ali and the PeroxideClub will deeply appreciate any relevant references on the subject.

First Time
Just took a peroxide bath for the first time and I feel amazing. It could be a psychological response but I really feel energized and positive. What am I to expect in the next few days?
