Hey guys. Im a biology student and am using H2O2 on an experiment. I have done some reading on Hydrogen Peroxide, and some writers are certain that Hydrogen Peroxide can cure a variety of ailments, including cancer. It seems this is a controversial opinion, and am seeking views and opinons of some science folk in here.
If possible can you explain to me the exact science behind these arguments, e.g. how at a molecular level H2O2 cures cancer? Does it bind to it etc... Also if anybody know precisely how it is produced in the body. I believe it is a harmful byproduct of respiration.
Some say that by starving the cancer cells of oxygen, they will die - but wont the entire body be starved also, and subsequently - die.
Please advise if you have knowledge on this.
Thanks
