Jackdaw33, isn't that exactly what big business is all about nowadays? There's far more profit to be made in selling new, expensive remedies than in old-fashioned stuff like hydrogen peroxide. Wall to wall advertising of new products has to be paid for by someone and that's us, the consumers.
Hydrogen Peroxide has indeed been used in bomb making for many years. However, the concentration of the Hydrogen Peroxide expressed in "volumes", is far greater than that encountered in medicinal use of the stuff. Medicinal concentration hydrogen peroxide is useless as an explosive as Mamyalynne implied
Togo, as a government advisor on chemical and biochemical matters, I do some moonlighting in military research facilities. I have some experience of accelerants and I can assure you that 3, 6 and 10 volume hydrogen peroxide are next to useless for explosive purposes regardless of pressure. Hydrogen peroxide is used in some industrial processes as an accelerant but the word is used more in the sense of a catalyst than a substance which increases the rate of the spread of fire. It's as well to remember that medicinal, low concentration hydrogen peroxide is unstable and decomposes readily to water. The process begins once the bottle is opened, which is the reason why people who use old hydrogen peroxide from the back of their cupboards wonder why it doesn't sting on application as it used to do.
ferlew, Europe has been responsible for many mad decisions, but even they have not been stupid enough to regard medicinal hydrogen peroxide as a bomb making component and remove it from sale.
I'd like to add though that you do need to be careful using Hydrogen peroxide on the skin. In the past, the stuff has entered body cavities where it can react with body fluids sometimes releasing copious amounts of oxygen. This can be very dangerous and should be avoided at all costs
