Citando:
"Drinking high-concentration hydrogen peroxide is a tactic sometimes promoted in alternative medicine circles as a so-called "natural cure," but nearly 300 people have been poisoned and five have died after trying it, according to a new paper published this week in the Annals of Emergency Medicine."

"“For people who follow these regimens, the instructions involve placing a dropper-full of high-concentration peroxide into a large quantity of water or another liquid, so it’s fairly diluted,” says Dr. Hatten. “People believe that it’s hyper-oxygenating, putting extra oxygen into your beverage, and that it somehow improves your health.”
There’s no scientific basis for these claims, though. “If it’s properly diluted, it’s probably harmless,” says Dr. Hatten, “but it doesn’t have any proven benefits—and if you accidentally take too much, it could have very serious consequences.”"
