Hydrogen Peroxide & Alkaline water, is this a super antioxidant?

I`ve used water ionizers for two years now. Health practioners
mentioned not to mix hydrogen peroxide with ionized water. I have fed
H2O2 into water ionizers and found lots of air bubbles formed.
Drinking it gives lots of energy.

Question:
I am told that Active oxygen (free radicals - negatively charged) is
similar to H2O2. Scientifically, do running H2O2 and water thru water
ionizers create more positively charged oxygen?

Active oxygen, see below:

Basically both acids and free radicals are ions with positive electrical
charges, ie. atoms missing electrons.

You should be drinking the alkaline port, which produces negatively charged
water.

If your water ionizer has an acidic port, it will produce positively charged
water. For drinking purposes, I think you mean negatively charge oxygen. I
don't know the answer.

Hydrogen peroxide is rocket fuel; disturb it and it breaks
down to water and oxygen gas. Almost anything will do the
trick.

It creates oxygen gas, the same as in air.

The bubbles are the result of H2O2 breaking down in oxygen and water,
probably due to the electrodes in the "water ionizer". Drinking it is simply
drinking water, and be thankful that it is just that: water. Don't attempt
to drink H2O2 in any significant concentration, since it is a very potent
oxydizer and that's not good for your health.

********. Positively charged oxygen is a fable, it doesn't exist under
normal conditions. Yes, the most common oxygen radical is superoxide and
that's negatively charged. Luckily, one of the most effective enzymes in
your body is superoxidedismutase and that will convert the superoxide into
H2O2, which is then converted into H2O and O2 (normal oxygen) by means of
the enzyme catalase. By the way, negatively charged doesn't mean radical and
radical also doesn't mean negatively charged. The charge of a radical is
dependent on the electronic wavefunction before the radical is formed. For
example, hydroxyl radical is electrically neutral but is a very agressive
radical while chloride ion is negatively charged but not a radical.

Hmmmm, the ionizer electrolyzes tap water?!?!?! HAHAHA! Don't waste you
money on this, it doesn't work. It's pseudoscience.

Radicals are NOT nessecarily positively charged, some are neutral, some are
negatively charged. Using the Lewis definition of acids shows also that
acids are not nessecarily positively charged; they just need to be able to
accept electrones.

No, it doesn't.

Ok, if there`s no such things as positively charged oxygen, then what
about negatively charged water molecues. Here is the main question:
Did H2O2 still retain it`s H2O2 structure or did it just turned into
water when producing to a ph of 9? Since H2O2 in any significant
concentration, is a very potent Oxydizer, will running it thru the
machine destroys it oxidizing abilities?

For all practical purposes, you can't have positively charged
water molecules. Take an electron away from a water molecule
and it tends to dissociate into H+ and OH. Since water is
always partially dissociated (the product of the H+ and OH-
concentrations is 1E-14) any electrons are effectively stripped
from one of them.

As for pH of 9, that just means that something has been added
which tips the balance of H+ and OH- -- an example being
CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). In the absense of an alkaline salt
(NaOH, CaHCO3, etc.) the H and OH both tend to settle down
neatly to concentrations of 1E-7. Most tap water has a
fairly high concentration of alkaline salts, though, so a
high pH is normal for it.

However, a high pH is not the same as a positive charge.
pH 9 has lost 99% of its H+ population. It doesn't take
much in the way of atomic charges to pile up a honking
potential. The charge on an electron is 1.6E-19 coulombs,
and there are 6.23E23 water atoms in only 18 grams of
water. That means about 6.23E16 each of H+ and OH+ per
18 grams, with a net charge of 6.23E16x1.6E-19 or just
about 0.01 coulomb. If that doesn't sound like much,
it's enough to raise a human body to tens of millions
of volts -- and that's only 18 grams of water.

I leave it to your imagination what the electrical
consequences would be of getting pH 9 though bulk
charge alteration on a wee 250 mL glass of water.

What if I run 1% of H2O2 (other 99% is water) thru a negatively charge
electrode, the kind of electrode found inside water ionizers, will I
at least get just a little bit of reduced H2O2 (H2O2 gaining more
electrons?)
 
no.

H2O2 is unstable. It decomposes to form oxygen and water easily.

You toss an extra electron on the molecule, it will decompose.
