Hello doc. What do you think of this new vitamin that can reverse heart damage. It is called MitoQ. It seems to be only available in America & Canada at the moment. The reviews look quite promising. I can get it here in the UK on Amazon but it's really expensive. £120 for 60cap.
Great video ...I've been using hydrogen peroxide for years on just about everything you mentioned but as a mouthwash I ended up with problems and I found out the reason was as much as you're killing the bad bacteria you're also killing your good bacteria (microbiome) in your mouth! The best mouthwash is sodium bicarbonate and salt mixed with water!
I have had 12% Hydrogen Peroxide (food grade) in my fridge for well over 2-3 years and watching this I thought it was past it's shelf life! so I tested a little on my finger and believe me it is still very much active, so I'm pleased that storing in the fridge keeps it for much longer and it's out of sunlight. I'm using it at the moment to soak some dandelions for a salad :)
@@ruthhunt7679 I am still using it from my fridge as an occasional mouthwash diluted down to 3% or even less and as far as freshness goes it still fizzes or foams in my mouth which proves it has not lost any of it's properties. I rinse my mouth out with cold water afterwards...
When I was 18, my house was infested with flees from a neighbor 's dog. In my family, I was the only one being beaten by these fleas, and got badly allergic to their bites ( with huge swollen and extremely painful bumps lasting for a whole year). Out of frustration and desperation, my dad bought an flee spray and sprayed everything and everywhere in the house. I was at home for a month studying for my exam, breathinging the toxic chemicals in closed home without any concern ( it was such a cold winter). Just three days before the new year, I started coughing up some little blood, then within an hour after that, a full blown of blood coming up from my lung. I was rushed to a hospital. My life had changed forever from that day in many ways. Long story short, I finally had 1/2 my left lung having to be removed due to permanent damages. This only happens after decades of declined health as the consequences of the damaged lungs. So, definitely avoid these toxic sprays and try the natural ways anytime you can. One little mistake can potentially be life changing, not in a positive way.
I use diluted peroxide on my garden plants, especially cucumbers, to kill any fungus starting on the leaves. It keeps all veggie leaves clean in general.
Hydrogen peroxide has a lot of benefits in our daily living, it's just need more information to share like this video to give people more knowledge, great share!
Great information, very much appreciate. Thank you, Dr Berg. Vinegar is acidic which makes it a powerful cleaner. To clean most fruits and vegetables, I mix a solution of 1 cup vinegar to 4 cups of water inside a spray bottle. Squeeze lemon juice. Mix well to combine. Placing the fruits and vegetables in a colander in the sink, spray it liberally with the mixture. It really helps to clean those fruits and veggies better than ever.
Do you know what percent your vinegar is? I'm wondering if the 5% for cleaning would be ok for washing fruit and vegetables. Lately because there is so much chlorine in my tap water, instead of soaking, I've been just spraying apple cider vinegar directly on the food, let sit for few min, rub baking soda to help lift dirt and toxins, rinse and dry....always looking for a better cheaper way if there is one. Food grade hydrogen peroxide can be expensive.
Thanks to Dr. Eric. I bought 3% HP on amazon. I just made a concoction of lightly boiling about 2 tablespoons of cloves then added about the same amount of baking powder. I let that sit until cool then poured it all into a spray bottle and added water until full. I did forget to buy some bay leaves to add a few but next time I go shopping. I sprayed on all outside doors and around windows. Keeps pests away really well. For all drains i just put in green gobbler bio-flo drain strips in each drain, kitchen, sink and shower which you can buy on amazon. Helps with drain flies and also freshens smelly drains! 🙏🏼 I'm prepared this summer 💪🏼😇
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was using 3% hydrogen peroxide as a pre-brushing rinse. I didn't know there were 2 types. I put the one I'm using away and will buy the food grade. Thank you for the info.
You could of also mentioned peppermint oil mixed with water, which helps with bugs. Only a few drops in a sprayer and mix with water. I had an eye cold and put hydrogen peroxide in my ears (for 5 minutes in each ear) and it cleared up my eye cold. I’ve used hydrogen peroxide in water 1 teaspoon to 1 cup water (so you won’t burn the leaves, but if you only get it on the soil you can use a 50-50 mixture) when watering my house plants and they grow so much stronger and faster. It brings oxygen to the roots. It’s really good if your plant’s leaves are turning yellow. The leaves are either getting too much water or not enough which causes the roots to not get enough oxygen and turn yellow. So hydrogen peroxide helps bring oxygen to the roots.
@@floridanativelh568 honestly I haven’t known about the food grade hp. So it was just the kind you’d get at Walmart or the pharmacy. But I’m planning to get the food grade hp now that I know about it.
I use vinegar in my dishwasher, on floors, and for laundry (with sodium carbonate and bicarbonate) and other cleaning instead of commercial detergents full of chemicals.
Baking soda gets rid of all pesticides in under 2 minutes plus it’s perfectly safe !! I personally would not use peroxide over baking soda !! Also once you’ve soaked your fruit and veg in a bucket of water and bicarbonate of soda then just wash them off again afterward in fresh cold water 💦 😊
@@blueybarnes9442 really interested to know how baking soda alone kills pesticides. Is there a study you can point to? Is there a reason why you would not use hydrogen peroxide? Just curious as I am interested in using baking soda too and less the soaking time also due to the softness of berries.
Can you purchase powdered hydrogen peroxide in 3% food grade? I didn't see it on Amazon. I will try your recommendation for cleaning tasks but I will only use food-grade going forward for fruits and vegetables.
@@jnova3328 it’s sodium percarbonate it is used as eco laundry bleach the white powder, I don’t know if what is sold as such is pure sodium percarbonate so I wouldn’t use it for cleaning foods, I get mine from a UK chemical suppliers in 10 kg bags and it’s much cheaper than buying it from super markets When it is added to water it releases hydrogen peroxide and what is left is sodium carbonate or soda water I’m not to sure off hand how to calculate precise concentrations I just add a teaspoon full to a litre of water it’s a great work top etc disinfectant
I use a mixture of two tsp Neem oil and and one tsp natural dish soap mixed with 2 gallons of water in a pump up sprayer on my garden vegetables. You have to apply it frequently for it to be effective.
Dr. Pls do a series on child nutrition, and also if you can address issues like slow physical growth, crankiness etc. Also supplementations that may help basic behavioral conditions caused by vit and mineral deficiencies.
A quick chemistry lesson from a follower of Dr. Berg: The proper equation is 2(H2O2) -> 2(H2O) + O2 (I seem to have an OCD tendency when it comes to science!😊 )
I eat lots of organic salad, 7-10 cups a day as you recommended, Dr. Berg. I wash them thoroughly with water but now I will add hydrogen peroxide. Thanks for the info.
Sjogrens here along with the dry mouth and cavities. Started brushing and swishing with peroxide about a year and half ago. Now i have no cavities and only 2's when gum depth checked. I tell everyone to ditch the abrasive tooth paste and switch. My teeth are smooth and clean.

I wash most of my veggies with water and dish detergent scrubbing them with a dobie pad or sponge. Green leafed veggies like Kale though are a bit tougher and usually just give them a rinse under running water. I`ll keep the H2O2 in mind from hear on. Thanks Doc for another informative video.
If anyone has better suggestions for cleaning my Kale from the market i`m open to ideas. I don`t always have farmer`s markets available to me and there are no magical crystal clear streams around to help me out. Also do not have the land to grow my own. AAAAAAAaaaah!
Good morning Doc Eric. This is a wonderful tip and so important for clean food. With all the toxic chemicals they spray on our fruits and veggies 🥕 its destroying our soil and bodies. Thanks so much..Have a wonderful July 4th holiday.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg, I have been diving two hours each time I needed veg wash so that I could buy it from the nearest Trader Joes. This is a much more efficient and cost effective!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I us peroxide in a spray glass bottle for cleaning my counters, doorknobs, light switches even my phone. Doesn't smell like vinegar. 😊
Hi! Thank you. I was trying to decide what was the best way to clean my vegetables. Does this method work with leafy vegetables and soft fruit. Like berries?🥰😊🥰
I’m sure it will work. It’s very safe in the correct strength as Dr Berg mentions in the video. You can use it when watering your plants in your home too.
@@donnaml8776 thank you, I’m having problems with black leaf spot on my sweet basil and grasshoppers on my kale… I’m hoping hydrogen peroxide will work.
@@olamarina7792 yes hydrogen peroxide can kill and prevent fungus in plants. About grasshoppers, I don't think it works, it's too weak. Maybe try to spray the grasshoppers with plain bug spray
Sure! Just think of it like you're bombarding things with oxygen. You've heard of antioxidants? Well, without getting overly specific, one of their functions is to neutralize unstable particles, and therefor prevent damage and inflammation. So, you're basically doing the opposite of that. You're applying very minute amounts of an unstable molecule that's basically just water that's been made unstable due to an extra oxygen atom. It wants to get rid of that oxygen atom, but 1 oxygen atom also isn't stable by itself, so it also wants to be with something that will stabilize it, such as another oxygen atom (hence why it breaks down into oxygen and water). Unstable particles can be quite forceful in trying to stabilize themselves, which can cause damage and instability to other particles, and a chain reaction can occur, and so on. For us, despite how that all may have sounded, it's not going to do much at low concentrations, but for the microbes, it can be quite deadly.
How I clean my strawberries: I first soak them in water put vinegar and baking soda then leave it for 15 minutes like that snd eat it! Hope you enjoy this tip
Sometime ago, I researched what worked best to remove pesticide, and they tested soap, baking soda and other things, and they said that baking soda removed the most, Because pesticides are unstable when alkaline, but I’m not sure if they tested hydrogen peroxide
Thank you Dr Berg, this is really useful. What about Baking Soda? I’ve read soaking and rinsing your vegetables with Baking Soda helps kill pesticides as well. Thx
Hallo Dr. Berg!!! Я подписана на Ваш русско-язычный канал. Пользуюсь Вашими советами и уже есть результат!!! Спасибо большое, самый адекватный и красивый Доктор!!! Здоровья и успехов Вам!!!
Where the heck do you get food grade Hydrogen Peroxide?? Never seen it. I use the stuff from the pharmacy and it works great on teeth. 1 capful to 3 capfuls of water. My dentist suggested it and it does work.
Borax or Borateem works good for bed bugs.probly for most insect pest.fruit flies:: vinegar & Dawn dish soap in a cottage cheese container.vinegar attracts the fly & he gets soap on him & cant breath or fly.put holes in cover so they can get into cheese container.
Food grade? I didn't know there were two kind of hydrogen peroxide 😳. I just start using the one from the store (3%). Time to but the one Dr Berg recommendeds. The food grade it's obviously more expensive but I hope it's better and safer. Thank you Dr. Berg!
It could make sense, but : We don’t use this regularly . I will check it. We use hipoclorito or acetic acid , or baking soda, everything in properly concentration and time. Combination of two of them is also possible depending of the vegetable. I will check it with Food Safety Authorities Docs. Maybe they have new references.
*_HP is also used as a hair dye, to get that HP Blonde hair look._* *_HP is also used to whiten teeth: but this here HP gets interesting, or I remember it was, but atm I can not recall why: when used to whiten teeth, it's best to use 3%HP over a long time, rather than a 10%HP for a short time. Most "whitening toothpastes" use the 10%, because it gives quick results-but they don't last as long as the 3%. This is an amusing conundrum._*
H2O2 has been the important in my everyday cleaning and for health and beauty. I prepare spray in my kitchen counter and bathroom cleaning. I use it also for cleaning toothbrush. During this COVID times, I use a machine water mist with mix of H2O2. Hydrogen Peroxide is very much I use for cleaning evetything.
Ive been using Food grade hydrogen peroxide for years. It even helped me curb my asthma. I carry a small mister with me. It comes in handy when I have to disinfect.
WOW Dr Berg you are SO TIMELY! I've been sharing with people the SUCCESS I've had using a little hydrogen peroxide in my ears or throat ANY time I felt the slightest fullness or problem in my sinuses or ears throat etc. Either spraying a little into my ears & nose or gargling with it it has STOPPED that feeling especially during covid IMMEDIATELY. I've also used it to get stains out of LIGHTER rugs & fabrics etc. 💙
Baking soda is a MUCH better solution to wash vegetables! It also removes pesticides and other *cides. What's wrong with hydrogen peroxide, regardless if food grade or not, is that it's an oxidant and, thus, results in more oxidative cellular damage if digested, which is highly likely if you use it as a vegetable wash. Even a salt water soak works great.
Dr. Berg; a thousand thanks for this educating and informative video! Seriously; you are Humanitarian Awesome! Dr. Berg is aka Dr. Health and Wellness!
I read an article from consumer reports and they said using dish detergent works very well for washing your vegetables. I've been using it for the last two to three years now and long as U rinse your vegetables you don't taste any soap. But using the peroxide if it kills off all them real bad thing that's probably the better product to use
Whatever was sprayed on the plants was absorbed into the plants cells and internal circulatory system. That’s there no matter what you put on the outside.
I use white vinegar and Bicarb (NaHCO3) and water (approx. 1/4 Cup on a gallon, or less, soak produce for 20 Min. rinse well and done, cheaper and same effect.
HP may be the best, but it is expensive wrt other less effective but way cheaper alternatives. i use a gallon jug of white vinegar and then add a couple of tablespoons salt and citric acid. then add a dollop of the mix with water to then soak and stir the veggies for at least 5 minutes is a must followed by 2x rinses.
Hi dr Eric I’ve been on keto for a few months now I’ve just had a blood test and my blood platelets are high do you have any advise for me to lower them. I love your videos and have got my friends to follow you to. Thank you in advance for any advice. Keep up the good work your helping so many people. X
Dr. Eric, I think, there is something, which you are not considering in the cleaning of vegetables. Plants are sprayed with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides from the moment they start to grow... In other words, most of these products are almost part of the fruit, they are incorporated in their skins. That can't be washed off with anything. I read that kiwis in Australia are sprayed with these kinds of products 16 times from the beginning until they are ready to pick... Imagine that... That's why the best thing to do, if we really want to AVOID it, is to consume biologic/organic.
Absolutely. That's exactly my logic on how often sprayed since planted. Incorporated into the veggie itself. The dirty dozen as it's called are probably sprayed the most. If people actually saw first hand the chemical , they probably would not eat. Yes organic better. I believe the thicker skin fruits and veggies stop most of chemicals. Avocado, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc. Cheers
I soak my fruit and veggies in a sink full of cold water and 1/2-1 cup of white vinegar for 10 minutes, works great and helps everything last much longer! Love it for cleaning as well. Also Febreeze is highly toxic, use a mix of water, isopropyl alcohol, and essential oil instead.

What about washing with baking soda? My husband has been soaking fruits and vegetables in a mixture of Baku f soda and with water.
Sometime ago, I researched what worked best to remove pesticide, and they tested soap, baking soda and other things, and they said that baking soda removed the most, Because pesticides are unstable when alkaline, but I’m not sure if they tested hydrogen peroxide
Thank you Dr Berg, this is really useful. What about Baking Soda? I’ve read soaking and rinsing your vegetables with Baking Soda helps kill pesticides as well. Thx
I use vinegar and baking soda.
This is extremely useful video and a good solution when one wants to eat raw vegetables.Moreover, it is easily available..Thanks so much.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. As always, relevant, useful information!
Jesus Christ loves you ❤
Wow, never thought of this on food, thank you!
You can tell it's still good (not broken down) if it still bubbles when you pour it into a dry spoon or cup.
Hallo Dr. Berg!!! Я подписана на Ваш русско-язычный канал. Пользуюсь Вашими советами и уже есть результат!!! Спасибо большое, самый адекватный и красивый Доктор!!! Здоровья и успехов Вам!!!
Baking soda helps too
Thanks for adding that.
Where the heck do you get food grade Hydrogen Peroxide?? Never seen it. I use the stuff from the pharmacy and it works great on teeth. 1 capful to 3 capfuls of water. My dentist suggested it and it does work.
Another fantastic and informative video. I could watch these all day!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr. Berg. ♥️
You're very welcome! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
I use hydrogen peroxide on my plants in the garden as well! Works great!
same😊
Definitely going to start using this formula !
Borax or Borateem works good for bed bugs.probly for most insect pest.fruit flies:: vinegar & Dawn dish soap in a cottage cheese container.vinegar attracts the fly & he gets soap on him & cant breath or fly.put holes in cover so they can get into cheese container.
Food grade? I didn't know there were two kind of hydrogen peroxide 😳. I just start using the one from the store (3%). Time to but the one Dr Berg recommendeds. The food grade it's obviously more expensive but I hope it's better and safer. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Dr. thanks for your help, God bless you.
Wowwwww merci merci merci Eric j’en reviens pas belle découverte ouiiii je vais partager aussi l’info et faire d’autre recherche 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It could make sense, but : We don’t use this regularly . I will check it. We use hipoclorito or acetic acid , or baking soda, everything in properly concentration and time. Combination of two of them is also possible depending of the vegetable. I will check it with Food Safety Authorities Docs. Maybe they have new references.
GM doctor Berg very informative thanks for sharing.
Where do you get food grade hydrogen peroxide?
Is the 3% from the pharmacy always a problem?
*_HP is also used as a hair dye, to get that HP Blonde hair look._*
*_HP is also used to whiten teeth: but this here HP gets interesting, or I remember it was, but atm I can not recall why: when used to whiten teeth, it's best to use 3%HP over a long time, rather than a 10%HP for a short time. Most "whitening toothpastes" use the 10%, because it gives quick results-but they don't last as long as the 3%. This is an amusing conundrum._*
can we do the same with fruit? or what do you recommend? Thank you Dr Berg!!
God bless you, Dr. Berg! Great video!🎉🙂👏
H2O2 has been the important in my everyday cleaning and for health and beauty. I prepare spray in my kitchen counter and bathroom cleaning. I use it also for cleaning toothbrush. During this COVID times, I use a machine water mist with mix of H2O2. Hydrogen Peroxide is very much I use for cleaning evetything.

Everytime I am thinking about a topic you come around with the anwer, like you can read my mind over the ocean in Germany😂
Question on medication, as A LOT of people are suffering from anxiety these days. How safe is Buspiron?
Ive been using Food grade hydrogen peroxide for years. It even helped me curb my asthma. I carry a small mister with me. It comes in handy when I have to disinfect.
how did it help with your asthma? how did u use it?
Yeah! I use it always for a whole lot. Thanks sir 🙏 ☺ great content 👌 👍 👏. God bless you real good 🙏👍
I never knew that there is "food grade" hydrogen peroxide. I wish Dr Berg had shown a bottle to us labeled food grade. Thanks 6/23/22
I wish that too.
Yup and you can use it in a nebulizer and inhale the vapor
In South Africa, one can buy food grade H²O² from Health food stores.
Most grocery stores carry it. I’ve not had a problem finding it. It is labeled ‘food grade’.
Amazon has it
WOW Dr Berg you are SO TIMELY!
I've been sharing with people the
SUCCESS I've had using a little
hydrogen peroxide in my ears or
throat ANY time I felt the slightest
fullness or problem in my sinuses
or ears throat etc. Either spraying
a little into my ears & nose or gargling
with it it has STOPPED that feeling
especially during covid IMMEDIATELY.
I've also used it to get stains out of
LIGHTER rugs & fabrics etc. 💙
Using regular hyd.peroxide or food grade?! Thx
Baking soda is a MUCH better solution to wash vegetables! It also removes pesticides and other *cides. What's wrong with hydrogen peroxide, regardless if food grade or not, is that it's an oxidant and, thus, results in more oxidative cellular damage if digested, which is highly likely if you use it as a vegetable wash. Even a salt water soak works great.
How much should the ratio be for baking soda to water?
@@fackyoutube84521 teaspoon to 2 cups of water 15-20 min soak good for apples etc
@@Barbara-Hernandez ty so much
Obviously it's not
I want to get back to eating veggies and fruits ,people using this solution,does it really work?
I live on a farm and we grow organic lemons with zero chemicals yet I still wash them before eating. I don't know why I do that......
I have been told that baking soda solution is good for vegetable wash.
🙄🙄Jeeze..you still can't win buying organic ..
Thank you for these solutions!!
Thank you! I have food grade Hydrogen Peroxide in my place! This is fantastic advice, as always!
Where does one buy food grade hydrogen peroxide??
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Dr. Berg; a thousand thanks for this educating and informative video!
Seriously; you are
Humanitarian Awesome!
Dr. Berg is aka
Dr. Health and Wellness!
I read an article from consumer reports and they said using dish detergent works very well for washing your vegetables. I've been using it for the last two to three years now and long as U rinse your vegetables you don't taste any soap. But using the peroxide if it kills off all them real bad thing that's probably the better product to use
Thank you as always for the info Dr Berg 🌸
You're very welcome!
Your garden is amazing. I don't do well with heat either, don't know how you can garden in it. Hope you had a great trip.
Dr Berg I appreciate you so much...I really wish i knew you over 2 years ago you are amazing Thanks
Thank You Dr. Berg. I needed this information in my life.
Most welcome. Glad you found it useful.
I have used vinegar & water to wash produce, for years.
Whatever was sprayed on the plants was absorbed into the plants cells and internal circulatory system. That’s there no matter what you put on the outside.
Baking Soda neutralizes many chemicals. It’s in some art studios in case of chemical spill on skin. I use it on my veggies.
I use white vinegar and Bicarb (NaHCO3) and water (approx. 1/4 Cup on a gallon, or less, soak produce for 20 Min. rinse well and done, cheaper and same effect.
Pyrethrin is another good pesticide. It comes from chrysanthemums. In my growing, I've used neem first, then that when necessary.
HP may be the best, but it is expensive wrt other less effective but way cheaper alternatives.
i use a gallon jug of white vinegar and then add a couple of tablespoons salt and citric acid.
then add a dollop of the mix with water to then soak and stir the veggies for at least 5 minutes is a must followed by 2x rinses.
I Love Hydrogen Peroxide! ♥️
Thank you kindly for sharing! ♥️
Wonderful! You're very welcome!
Hi dr Eric I’ve been on keto for a few months now I’ve just had a blood test and my blood platelets are high do you have any advise for me to lower them. I love your videos and have got my friends to follow you to. Thank you in advance for any advice. Keep up the good work your helping so many people. X
2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2
is the balanced version
Dr. Eric, I think, there is something, which you are not considering in the cleaning of vegetables.
Plants are sprayed with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides from the moment they start to grow... In other words, most of these products are almost part of the fruit, they are incorporated in their skins. That can't be washed off with anything.
I read that kiwis in Australia are sprayed with these kinds of products 16 times from the beginning until they are ready to pick... Imagine that...
That's why the best thing to do, if we really want to AVOID it, is to consume biologic/organic.
Absolutely. That's exactly my logic on how often sprayed since planted. Incorporated into the veggie itself.
The dirty dozen as it's called are probably sprayed the most. If people actually saw first hand the chemical , they probably would not eat.
Yes organic better.
I believe the thicker skin fruits and veggies stop most of chemicals. Avocado, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc.
Cheers
Here I go again Dr. Berg. WOW. Amazing information. Thank you so much.❤️👍
Thanks for your continued support!
Dr. Berg you are the man!
I appreciate those kind words.
Hello. Can I wash my fruits with this solution of hydrogen peroxide as well?
I soak my fruit and veggies in a sink full of cold water and 1/2-1 cup of white vinegar for 10 minutes, works great and helps everything last much longer! Love it for cleaning as well.
Also Febreeze is highly toxic, use a mix of water, isopropyl alcohol, and essential oil instead.
