Hydrogen Peroxide to Heal Wound?
Two days ago, I posted a blog about my bad experience with Canadian doctor. I have been thinking why my problem is getting worse and worse So, I did some search on the Internet. Finally, I came to a conclusion that my problem was getting worse because of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Why? The “stupid” Canadian doctor recommended me to use Hydrogen Peroxide on my wound.
After searching information on the Internet, I found many interesting links about Hydrogen Peroxide. Here is a copy from EOpinions.com:
…I noticed throughout the week that she never used any Hydrogen peroxide on any wounds. She said not only does it bubble and eat away and the bad bacteria in the wound, it is also eating away and bubbling away good tissue! This means you are actually doing more harm that good…
This is another interesting post from a British nursery web site.
The problem with hydrogen peroxide and some other traditional debriding agents is that they also damage the healthy cells (keratinocytes and fibroblasts) that are needed for wound healing and inhibit their necessary migration into the damaged area
Lastly, the use of Hydrogen Peroxide is not recommended by the US Department of Health and Human Services as pointed out by TruthOrFiction.com.
The HealthFinder publication of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says don’t use hydrogen peroxide on a wound because it interferes with healing. The U.S. Gymnastics team has followed the recommendations of researchers and uses soap and water for cleansing wounds and not hydrogen peroxide.
So why did my doctor use Hydrogen Peroxide? Anyway, I have changed to another doctor now. I won’t come back to the previous doctor again. Never….
I have an advice for you: always find a good doctor. Many doctors don’t really know what they are doing, even in a country like Canada.
