How to Nebulize Hydrogen Peroxide

This information is for education purposes only, and is not medical advice or recommending any treatment. Discuss any potential treatments with your health care professional.

There are several doctors that I reference in this article, Dr. Thomas Levy, MD, Dr. Mercola and Dr. Brownstein. These gentlemen have the most expert using nebulized peroxide with their patients. I give links to Dr. Levy’s written materials and to videos featuring Dr. Mercola and Dr. Brownstein. I did not create the protocol but I combine the information into one article for you here.

Effective

“The inhalation of HP by nebulization has been shown to be extremely effective for the rapid elimination of any pathogen presence in the sinuses, nose, throat, and deep into the lungs.” Dr. Levy

  • Which Nebulizer will work for this procedure
  • How to use 12% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (or 3% Hydrogen Peroxide)
  • Option: Add Lugol’s Iodine when nebulizing diluted hydrogen peroxide
  • Option: Nebulize Colloidal Silver, undiluted, without adding diluted hydrogen peroxide

Benefits of Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide (HP)

“It should also be emphasized that hydrogen peroxide nebulization quickly and effectively resolves the common cold and all variety of influenza viral syndromes, depending on long how the patients have been infected when the nebulization is initiated. It also means that 1⁄4 of a penny can do what many extended hospitalizations costing many hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars do not do: heal the patient, spare the patient much suffering and possibly death, and permit the patient or family of the patient to avoid complete financial devastation.” ~ Thomas E. Levy, MD

Thomas E. Levy, MD offers a free ebook on-line called Rapid Virus Recovery. In the book he has over 600 scientific citations from Peer-Reviewed Journals. Here are a few quotes from Dr. Levy:

“The inhalation of HP by nebulization has been shown to be extremely effective for the rapid elimination of any pathogen presence in the sinuses, nose, throat, and deep into the lungs.”

Applying a protocol of hydrogen peroxide (HP) nebulizations [the repeated inhalations of a fine HP mist] after an exposure to [germs] or after the initial symptoms of [sickness] are noted offers a prompt and definitive [benefit] in nearly everyone. ~ Dr. Levy


Hydrogen Peroxide Nebulization

Gather materials:

  • A desktop nebulizer that plugs into the wall.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide, 3% or 12% (ideally, 12% Food Grade)
  • Salt and purified water to make 0.9% saline solution (or purchase sterile 0.9% saline)
  • Optional addition: Lugol’s Iodine, 2% or 5%

Order a desk top nebulizer that plugs into the wall.


  • Battery-operated units do not work well enough.
  • The machine I have is shown above. It is popular and may go out of stock.
  • Amazon will have similar nebulizer options like these units.
  • Get a desktop model that plugs into the wall.
  • Get one now. Practice using it before you need it!


Get Hydrogen Peroxide

Get Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Now!

Get food grade 12% hydrogen peroxide if possible because it has no stabilizers. Keep it in the refrigerator. Unlike technical grade peroxide, food grade peroxide contains NO chemical stabilizers.

  • 12% hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade
  • Made In USA
  • 100% Customer Satisfaction or Money Back-Guarantee
  • No Stabilizes, No Petroleum, No Benzene, No Additives and No Heavy Metal

Yes, you may choose to use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, below I will list the dilution required for 3% and 12% hydrogen peroxide


Note from Dr. Mercola:

  • “It is really important to dilute the hydrogen peroxide with saline to get a 0.1% solution.
  • 99.9% of what you are inhaling is literally harmless saline, not peroxide.
  • Saline may even have distinct health benefits of its own.”


Prepare (or buy) 0.9% Normal Saline

Instructions: How to Make Normal Saline (0.9%)

  • Using a 16oz glass jar, fill with purified water. Do not use tap water. I have a Big Berkey Water Filter and filter my home’s tap water. You can also use distilled water or spring water.
  • Use a stainless steel measuring spoon, measure 5 grams ( ~1 tsp) Real Salt, Himalayan Salt or Celtic Salt .
  • Add salt to 16oz of purified water.
  • Stir to dissolve.
  • Yes, you can use 0.9% Sterile Normal Saline that you purchase, but your cost goes up and I wouldn’t buy saline on Amazon. All it takes is 1 tsp of Real Salt to make your own 16oz jar.

Dilute Hydrogen Peroxide with 0.9% Normal Saline

How to Prepare 0.1% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution for the Nebulizer

Using 12% Hydrogen Peroxide

  • To prepare a 0.1% solution, add 3/4 tsp of 12% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide to the 16oz jar of Normal Saline prepared above.
  • Label the jar. It will last a long, long time if you keep it refrigerated.
  • You may want to transfer the solution to a glass dropper bottle.

Using 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

  • To prepare a 0.1% solution, add 4 teaspoons of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to 16 ounces of normal saline prepared above.
  • Label the jar. It will last a long, long time if you keep it refrigerated.
  • You may want to transfer the solution to a glass dropper bottle.

Set up Nebulizer

Set up the Nebulizer According to Directions

  • Connect tubing to Nebulizer.
  • Open Nebulizer container.
  • Add 1/2 tsp (or 1 – 2 droppers) of the hydrogen peroxide/saline solution prepared above to the Nebulizer.
  • Using the mask (not the mouthpiece), breathe in the nebulized hydrogen peroxide.

How Long to Nebulize

Treatment Times

Are you sick? Treat every hour until you are better. Within the first day you should feel better. Decrease to every four to six hours. ~Dr. Mercola.

“Treatment times need only last 5 to 15 minutes in most circumstances.

Once you feel better, reduce the nebulizer treatments to every four to six hours and continue for several days after you feel completely well

This means that a cure, or effective kickstart to the rapid resolution of a respiratory virus, could cost as little as 1⁄4 of a penny.” ~Dr. Thomas E. Levy

Keep this in your emergency tool kit and practice using it. Go ahead and make the solution now so that you are ready when you need a treatment.


Options

Option – Add Lugol’s Iodine to Diluted Peroxide when nebulizing

Adding Lugol’s Iodine along with the diluted hydrogen peroxide gives better results.

  • If using Lugol’s Iodine, add it to the nebulizer container with 1/2 tsp of the hydrogen peroxide/saline solution prepared above to the Nebulizer.
  • Add 2 drops of 2% Lugol’s or 1 drop of 5% Lugol’s Iodine.
  • Using the mask (not the mouthpiece), breathe in the nebulized hydrogen peroxide.
Add 2 drops of 2% Lugol’s Solution to the nebulizer

Dr. David Brownstein has administered nebulized peroxide with Lugol’s Iodine as an early intervention and has hundreds of patients experiencing amazing results (see his video here). Dr. Brownstein recommends adding 1 drop of 5% Lugol’s Iodine (6.25mg of iodine) but if you only can get 2% Lugol’s Iodine, use 2 drops of 2% Lugol’s in the nebulizer along with the diluted hydrogen peroxide in the protocol above.



Option: Nebulize Colloidal Silver alone (without the diluted hydrogen peroxide)

Nebulizing Colloidal Silver

In a separate nebulizing session, add non-diluted colloidal silver to the 2ml mark. Nebulize 5-7 minutes, 3 to 5 times a day for respiratory conditions. I prefer Sovereign Silver.

  • Unprecedented particle size, Sovereign Silver colloidal silver is safe & easier for the body to absorb. 
  • Stored in amber colored, glass bottles which are crucial to ensure the stability & quality of hydrosol. 
  • Sovereign Silver has 2 ingredients: 99.999% pure silver & pharmaceutical-grade purified water.

Study: Nebulized Colloidal Silver Worked when Antibiotics failed

This study is fascinating, and worth a quick look. A twelve year old boy with Cystic Fibrosis had many lung infections and adverse conditions. For years the child suffered with asthma, wheezing, and deterioration of pulmonary status. He was unsuccessfully treated with prolonged IV and oral antibiotics, steroids and antifungals. “Lung function recovered to around 40% but he remained markedly symptomatic, with persistent cough, breathlessness and wheeze after physical activity. Because of these complications he was referred for heart–lung transplant assessment.”

At the same time, the boy’s family discovered information regarding nebulizing colloidal silver for Cystic Fibrosis. Over the next three months the patient achieved a sustained improvement in symptoms, which persisted following weaning from oral steroids, nebulized antibiotics and regular asthma medications.
