Many attempts have been made by medical researchers to provide oxygen to the tissues of the body. Hyperbaric chambers have been developed to put oxygen under pressure, forcing it into the tissues and blood stream. Ozone is a very reactive form of oxygen that contains three atoms of oxygen and is symbolized by O3. Hydrogen peroxide has been given extensively, both orally and intravenously. However, magnesium peroxide is the form of choice today.
Magnesium peroxide is also easier to handle and can be encapsulated in the dry form.
FLAP A commonly misunderstood aspect of hydrogen peroxide is that it is a free radical. This is simply not true. By definition, a free radical has an unpaired electron. They are very short lived, usually only one ten-thousandth of a second. If left unchecked, they can cause damage, but they also provide a much needed function in the body as well.
