HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Go ahead and laugh if you like, but what follows is no joke:
- DID YOU KNOW that your own white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide? Yes they do. Lots of it.
- KNOW WHY? Because that's how they kill invading germs. It's your body's first and best defense against any infection. Kills bacteria, viruses, yeast, parasites - all the bad guys.
- DON'T BELIEVE ME? Look it up. (Try the Encyclopedia Britannica website. Check the info on 'granulocytes.' See? I told you so.)
BUT HOW? The hydrogen peroxide molecule (H202) is basically water (H20) with an extra oxygen atom attached. When that oxygen gets released against germs, it 'oxidizes' them. Poof, they're goners.
Stick around, I'll be back with more...
