A really interesting book that provides plenty of food for thought on the pharmaceutical industry and their links to politics. I have recommended the One minute cure to,others and am interested to personally try the techniques discussed in the book for maintaining general good health.

I could not finish this book. DNF at 50%. This is pseudo science and unverifiable claims and truly was not what I expected when I requested it. I think it’s disingenuous and full of misinformation.

This book dives into the intriguing world of hydrogen peroxide therapy, claiming that a minute a day with this household staple can revolutionize your health. While the book enthusiastically touts the benefits of increased oxygenation, it's crucial for readers to approach the claims with a healthy dose of skepticism. As with any health advice, consult your healthcare professional before embracing the one-minute magic cure.

Short, easy to read and very persuasive but I'm not convinced it's safe and I believe the grade of hydrogen peroxide required is not available in the UK. I'm not sure I'd try it but it's certainly an interesting concept.

Makes a lot of sense. I highly recommend. I have no medical or science background so can’t attest to the validity of the studies but commonsense says the premise is probable. And I do believe there are quite a few natural remedies that understandably are not sanctioned by the pharmaceutical community. I think it’s important to keep an open mind with regard to non pharmaceutical options. Some will be of value to some people just like all medicines don’t work for all people. That being said it is important to follow the instructions exactly. Using different grades or dilutions/concentrations will obviously alter the results and can be dangerous. After reading this book I will definitely try hydrogen peroxide therapy the next time I’m sick. Not sure if I would start with oral or nebulized first. I would leave the iv form for a serious situation as opposed to things like the flu. I highly recommend reading this book.

Spoiler alert: Hydrogen peroxide, food grade, to be diluted in filtered water. Okay. I will pass, but maybe this will help someone.

The rationale was oxygenating the blood and the whole body. Personally, I feel that there are other options that could achieve the same goals, but that might feel more familiar and therefore less risky for less adventurous readers, e.g. eating alkaline foods, taking deep breaths and exercising. But the information and references quoted were interesting.

Interesting book.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

The One Minute Cure: The Secret To Curing All Diseases is a pseudo-scientific unproven, unfounded, unscientific screed about the greed and corruption of "big pharma" presented by Madison Cavanaugh. Released in 2008, and repackaged and re-released since, this edition is 168 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.

Folksy wisdom tells us that if "anything seems too good to be true" it almost certainly is. This author claims that this simple method will *cure* "virtually all diseases" and lumps together everything from cancer to diabetes to viral and bacterial infections and parasites. The reason we're only just now hearing about it is because of the mafia-like influence of "big pharma" which loses money if people get cured. This is a particularly American conspiracy theory since "big pharma" and the "mainstream medical system" are not-for-profit in virtually *every* other country on the planet. The people devoting their lives to saving their fellow humans are (for the most part) genuinely altruistic and genuinely fighting to helping forward the science to improve outcomes in everything from infectious disease to cancer and chronic and lifestyle diseases. Understand that there is no shadow science-nerd organization dedicated to killing people for profit and keeping the good info back to make money.

Hydrogen peroxide is unstable (that's why you buy it in brown or opaque bottles, even light will turn it into gaseous Oxygen and plain water). Furthermore H2O2 in its native form is actively carcinogenic. The human body is complex. The physio-chemical processes that drive absolutely everything from digestion and respiration to cellular responses to stress (in the form of infection, damage, lack of resources, etc) are driven by an incredibly complex set of controls and safety checks. Cells will literally kill themselves rather than damage their neighbor cells (when this security feature stops working is what we call cancer). Trying to bypass these checks and balances will not generally lead to any good outcome and at best will have no effect whatsoever (our stomach environments are extremely acidic, killing just about any bacteria and parasites we ingest, as well as instantly turning peroxide into water and oxygen gas... it does NOT go into your bloodstream), and at worst will kill you.

The author does an appalling job of wildly equating studies which show that exposure to hydrogen peroxide in *toxic* concentrations will kill cancer cells, viruses, bacteria, and systemic damage in vitro (in the lab, OUTSIDE the body), and then logically equating that with the same results from drinking (supposedly) non-toxic concentrations of peroxide in water orally throughout the day in vivo (in the body).

To sum up, there is no reproducible scientific evidence that oral ingestion of hydrogen peroxide will have any positive effect on disease and a literal TON of contra-evidence, not because the medical establishment wants to keep people sick to make a profit, but because it's just sadly not true. This book is absolutely full of pseudo-scientific malarkey, dangerously so.

Rigid, formal, REPRODUCIBLE science is what cures disease. There are millions of very intelligent, truly driven, altruistic scientists who would love nothing more than to cure cancer (and collect the resultant Nobel in physiology or medicine). It's not going to be done by perpetuating positivity, crystals, or manifestation... or by selling more copies of her book which she suggests readers do, for their friends and family.

She provides a link to NCBI and says "type hydrogen peroxide into the search bar" and look at the 104,266 results knowing that the vast vast majority of readers will not have the background or interest to *read* any of them, most of which are basically saying "please don't drink peroxide, it's dangerous, we tested it and we can prove it".

Bad BAD science, badly formulated. Big pharma is not out to get you. Turn off Fox news and Breitbart and Q-anon. PS A free tip from an actual professional bio-nerd: if anything claims to be a panacea, cure-all, miracle cure, *run* the other direction. The "magic bullet" almost never exists.

One star. Avoid.
