First, a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide, typically at 3%, is mixed with a carrier solution like normal saline or glucose solution. This mixture is then slowly infused intravenously into a vein in the patient's arm over a period of 60 to 90 minutes.

For cancer patients, the hydrogen peroxide may be combined with a glucose solution, as cancer cells absorb glucose readily, allowing the hydrogen peroxide to enter them effectively. As the hydrogen peroxide enters the bloodstream, it reacts with enzymes like catalase and cytochrome c oxidase, releasing oxygen radicals.

Dosage and frequency vary depending on the patient's condition. For acute illnesses like the flu, treatments may be given daily.

For chronic conditions, weekly infusions are common, while acute or severe illnesses may require up to five infusions per week.

After the infusion, patients are advised not to eat for 20 to 40 minutes to allow for full absorption.

Hydrogen peroxide IV therapy is typically administered at clinics or by mobile IV therapy providers under medical supervision to ensure proper dilution and dosing.

The intravenous route is considered more effective than oral administration. Proper protocols recommended by organizations like the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation are crucial for safe administration.
