Written by Teunis Felter

It’s meant to boost your health but doctors caution that this alternative health remedy can send you or a loved one to the emergency room. There are people intentionally drinking diluted hydrogen peroxide as a natural treatment for sinus infections, inflammation and other ailments. Consuming the liquid can burn holes in the esophagus and stomach, and can create oxygen bubbles that can be released in the blood stream. When that happens, the bubbles can travel to the brain and cause seizures and stroke-like symptoms.
