82. Hydrogen Peroxide-The MIRACLE cure for infections

Mon Jul 28, 2014, 03:15 PM

Jul 2014

I saw it used on a camping trip years ago-when we were 50 miles from any service. It prevented a major infection issue from a gashed kneecap.

Since then I have used it for tooth infections & anytime I have it available for cleaning a wound.

It also dissolves decades or buildup from coins that have been buried in the ground . In that case use an old pot pie tin or similar & cover the coin/object & heat on low. Don't let the fluid evaporate. And don't use it for any coins that have numismatic value. But for seeing a date on a crudded up old coin it works wonders.

And it is CHEAP.

Also-it can be rocket fuel IIRC???
