Peroxide Uses

This is what Oxi-Clean is... 3% peroxide did you know that????

This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana


"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 min. daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe) No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle).

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dish rag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other
disinfectants will.

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.

9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide
burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.

11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.

Wasatch Back Relay Race

A couple weeks ago I ran the Wasatch Back Relay race with a team that just got thrown together the week before the race...and we ended up finishing 22nd out of 300 teams! I think everyone that runs should do this race next year, it was SO much fun! You ride in a car along the whole course...which is Logan to Park City...just taking care of whoever is running on your team, giving them water, cold rags, gatorade, whatever they need. The total distance is 176 miles, but it is BEAUTIFUL!




We snuck into a pool between our first and second legs to cool off and clean off! It felt so good, just what we all needed to get ready for the next leg.




Sisters!

My sister Lindy and her cute baby girl Aizlyn just moved in with Matt and I for a little while! We've been having so much fun spending more time together now that we're not 10 hours away from each other, its so nice to have family close by, especially when they're your friends too! Love you sister!

Sisters & best friends!

Cutest little girl ever!


Vegas Baby!

Matt and I met Sam and Cami in Vegas on their way up from California at the beginning of June! It was such a fun, relaxing weekend. We stayed at the MGM Grand which was so nice and had a super nice pool. On Thursday night we got there late and didn't do too much, but Friday was the John Mayer concert, which was SO fun! It was a weekend of American Idols...Cami saw Phil Stacey at the MGM pool...then Blake Lewis and Chris Richards were at the concert. It seems like there was one more, but I can't remember who it was :) Saturday night we went and saw Ocean's 13...then walked out right onto the strip, it was pretty cool! It was such a fun weekend and we're SO happy Sam and Cami have one again joined us all back in Utah!

Cami and I did some great shopping while we were there, of course!






Our New House!

Our new house in Sandy is supposed to start framing any day now! We're so excited to be back down south and not commute so far, but we still have a little while. Here's a picture of our house-to-be! I drive by there about 4 times a week just to see if any progress has been made, and so far, we only have cement, but this is our lot!



We love Lake Powell!

Lake Powell was such a blast! Thanks Mitch and Lindsay for an awesome weekend!

Happy One Year Anniversary!!!

Saturday, 7.7.07 was mine and Matt's one year anniversary! We had such a fun day celebrating.

We started off the day with lunch at Joe's Crab Shack, then headed to the Jordan River Temple.
Next stop was Baskin Robbins for an amazing peanut butter treat for me, and an oreo shake for Matt Last but not least was Transformers!! I was not very excited to see it, but Matt talked me into it, and I was actually very entertained! It was so fun to just spend a whole day together talking about what we were doing last year at this time and remembering the most amazing day of our lives. This last year has been amazing, thanks to my wonderful husband! He is truly my best friend, he makes me laugh everyday, and I am so grateful for Matt. I love you babe!
