Peter,
Thank you for this info.
I've learned a lot more today again.

All the strong oxidizers produce super oxide radicals in the presence
of oxygen. These "supercharged" oxygen atoms react with organic
molecules and add an oxygen atom in random places. This can cause
the molecule to split into other things, or cause distortions in
proteins, etc.
Superoxide radicals are one of the ways we age -- damage to the DNA
results in poorly operating or dead cells, etc. The damage from
superoxide radicals is the mechanism by which hydrogen peroxide kills
bacteria. Why on earth would you want to ingest something used to
sterilize surfaces? It will damage or kill any cells in YOU it comes
into contact with.
I would NEVER ingest peroxide, under any circumstances.
Supplemental O2 is something else altogether -- air is normally 20%
O2. It's only reactive when dissociated, which only happens in
metabolism under controlled conditions were superoxide radicals
cannot form.

Don't see how oxygen radicals will do anything for you but cause
premature aging, either.

Can you explain a bit more about the oxygen ?
I am on oxygen 24/7 at a rate of 4 liter per minute.
