Danielle LaPorte Says Inhaling Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide “would be good”
“I’m not giving medical advice,” Oprah SuperSoul leader says to 258K Instagram followers

In an October 25th story posted to Instagram and Facebook, Canadian self-help author Danielle LaPorte touted the benefits of nebulizing essential oils with water — and hydrogen peroxide — for respiratory health and for “doubling down” on immune system strength.
LaPorte is a former Body Shop marketing executive who became one of Oprah Winfrey’s SuperSoul 100 thought leaders in 2016 after publishing several books about personal empowerment.

Inhaling nebulized hydrogen peroxide is dangerous. Jamie Alan, PhD, and associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University, told Health.com that hydrogen peroxide is an unstable atom that can damage cells.
“If it’s inhaled,” Alan was quoted as saying, “it goes to the lungs where it can damage cell membranes. It can even get into the cells once the cell membranes are compromised and it can damage DNA.”
