Hey guys,
I have a couple of questions and some info. I ran across a quick test to see if there are any stabalizers in your H2O2:
Checking for Stabilizers in H202
Ted replies, "There is a simple way to see if Hydrogen Peroxide contains stabilizers: Pour 1/2 cap of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water. If the color has yellow (or other off colors), it has a stabilizer. It is best to set it out in the sun where it is easier to see. If the H202 remains colorless when mixed in a glass of water, it usually does not have a stabilizer.
Almost all H2O2 sold in drug stores will have stabilizers, actually to discourage people to use them internally. So you can use this as a way to compare them. Basically, H2O2 poured into a clean glass and left out in a sun covered by a dish should not have air bubbles. If it does, there are metal contaminants. If you are asking for trouble, a drop of ammonia solution in H2O2 mixed in water will cause a rapid air bubble generation. It is more unstable if it has stabilizers. You can try the experiment and compare the results.
The test for this is not perfect one, but the key is the color, even when you add just a small amount of water in direct sunlight. Also, a good quality H2O2 doesn't get small bubbles during storage.
By the way, an easy way to test the quality of your drinking water is to add 10% of 3% H2O2 to 90% Water and perform the test by noticing air bubbles. If there are a lot of air bubbles for the next 6 hours, then the water has either too much organic residues OR heavy metals. During the test please keep in places AWAY from children. After the test immediately discard the contents into the sink. Ted"

I did these tests for some Hydrogen Peroxide I bought at Walmart, and you won't believe it...it passed!!! It was manufactured by Aaron Industries in South Carolina, if you'd like to investigate yourself.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how much of the 3% solution I should add to drinking water. I would like to start taking H2O2 each day, but nothing dangerous. The food-grade 35% is so dangerous! I wouldn't even touch it in the Chemistry Lab. Well anyways, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me how to dilute the H2O2 so I can drink. I don't mind starting low and getting to higher doses.
