Is H202 therapy an effective way for treating emphysema?

I have found online some articles concerning H202 therapy as an alternative method for treating emphysema. However, none of them had reliable sources hence I prefer not to rely on those articles. Anyway, it seems that H202 therapy consists of using 1 ounce of 35% peroxide per 1 gallon of non-chlorinated water in a vaporizer (or alternatively intravenous infusion can have a faster and stronger effect). Apparently, H202 therapy has the ability to cleanse the inner lining of the lungs and restore the ability to breathe.
Since a member of my family, who is 79 years old, is affected by emphysema and unfortunately standard treatments are not giving her any considerable improvement in breathing, I would like to hear your opinion about this H202 therapy (such as if it is reliable or dangerous, if it can be used with elderly people etc..) thank you very much for the help given!

Ps. please let me know if you have any other advice on how to treat emphysema or improve breathing.

I have not found any peer reviewed medical literature that substantiates the claim of this therapy.

One of the articles I read (non peer reviewed) stated that you could obtain physicians using this therapy from this group:

International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation, Inc.

Which as I did research on them, I found a warning letter from the FDA challenging the determination on whether their procedures for the protection of human subjects complied with Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 60 and 56. Not good ….
