nothing to lose. try other methods too if you can get some specifics

Specifically What I used was 10 % food grade hydrogen peroxide (purchased and used for sprouts) diluted 10-1 with filtered water for a final concentration of one percent. Soaked a paper towel in it wrung it out to still very moist, placed the seeds on it placed that in a ziplock and set it in a dish (not directly) on my heat mat.
3 days later 3 out of 4 seeds showing a radicle. those 3 potted up in moist seed starting mix. will see how they do. Germination is only the first step. They are not growing yet.
