How do Hydrogen Peroxide effect cancers?

When I first started as a chemist, about 1968, (undergraduate working in
a commercial lab), one of the technicians had a small cut on his thumb,
he put some 30 % H2O2 on it, it was spectacular! He had to go to the
doctor to treat the resulting destroyed tissue.

Yes H2O2 would destroy a cancer cell, it would also destroy a
non-canerous cell.

20 drops of 35 % h2o2 ( app a ml) mixed with 10 ml of water would make a
3 % solution, about the same as what you can buy at the drug store.

My brother told me of a friend of his that drank some H2O2 ( 3 %).

It was about the same size and shape a one the beers they were drinking,
his daughter was using H2O2 as a disinfectant, and had placed the open
container down next to the bottle of beer, the friend took the bottle
and took a big swig, just like beer, my brother said that he did not
make it out the back door before he was spewing beer, foam and his
stomach contents everywhere.

Assume an average swig of beer is about a 100 ml
100 ml of 3 % H2O2 is about 100 gms

or about 3 gms of H2O2

or about 0.1 mole of H2O2

a molar volume is 22.4 liters at stp

the H2O2 would decompose into H2O and 1/2 O2 in the stomach (instantly)

this would produce 2.24 l of O gas or 1.12 L of O2

The volume of the stomach is about 1 L.

ergo all or most of the volume of the stomach has to go somewhere, out
the mouth most likely.

My brother though it was quite humorous.

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes when it comes in contact with cancer cells. And
in the process H2O2 becomes O and H2O. An active Oxygen with fewer
electrons, takes an electrons from a cancer molecules and destroys it.

What the difference when people inject cancer cells with 35% H2O2 directly,
for instance, directly into colon cancers and when 20 drops of 35% food
grade H2O2 is ingested with distilled water?

People have suffered lung damage from gargling with 3% peroxide. In the
emergency room, we use H2O2 to clean up blood stains because it destroys the
structure of blood and makes it soluble in water. Peroxide in wounds
destroys cells and delays healing. Peroxide in the blood would break up all
the red blood cells and in any quantity large enough to affect a tumor would
be lethal.

I was told of a DuPont employee who committed suicide by drinking 1500
volume (1 litre liquid turns to 1500 litres oxygen) H2O2. They had to hose
him out of the room.

I would have though the corrosive burn from 35% H2O2 would be worse than
having to deal with the cancer itself.
