It occurs to me that some antibiotics can kill good gut bacteria, but we take it anyway. And chemotherapy is a largely indiscriminate treatment. So is Gemini's statement true or false, does it really matter, or does it just need context?"ClO2 cannot distinguish between the cell membrane of a harmful pathogen and the membrane of a human stomach lining cell, kidney cell, or red blood cell. It damages or destroys whatever organic tissue it contacts first. [whereas] antibiotics like penicillin can kill 99.9% of bacteria at doses that cause zero harm to human cells, creating a wide, safe therapeutic window."

I got a more complete answer for your question using the AI bot at Brave search. I would never use Google search!I've been making up my own MMS for the last week, and am learning as much about it as I can. I've been using AI to try and inform me, and know that some of the information is either wrong or biased. But some information I have received, I have no idea whether it is accurate or not, or whether it needs to be framed better. For example, Google Gemini told me:

"The selectivity that makes ClO₂ effective at low concentrations is size-based, not membrane-based. A 2013 study in PLOS ONE ("Chlorine Dioxide Is a Size-Selective Antimicrobial Agent") demonstrated that because bacteria are orders of magnitude smaller than human cells, ClO₂ penetrates and accumulates to lethal concentrations inside a microbe far faster than it can inside a human cell. In other words, the pathogen is killed before the oxidant has time to build up to damaging levels in the much larger human cell."

If you follow approved CLO2 protocols, you should not have any issues.
If you read some of the thousands of CLO2 testimonials over the past 20 years or so, you would learn how safe CLO2 can be. No one who has used CLO2 has ever died from CLO2 itself.
Why did NASA say in 1987 that CLO2 was "The Universal Antidote"?

Brave AI then told me that Ibuprofen is the most commonly used non-selective drug, and that aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a close second. This suggests that non-selectivity does not rule out the use of a pharmaceutical.

This selective mechanism is proposed as a hypothesis. The full paper provides details:ClO2 acts via one-electron oxidation of microbial targets (thiol oxidation, envelope and nucleic acid damage, respiratory inhibition); host cells are spared through glutathione-dependent redox buffering. The proposed low-dose hormetic response is a hypothesis requiring direct experimental confirmation.

I posted AK's paper here in this forum a few days ago. Scroll down a few posts and you will see it.Andreas Kalcker's new paper published 21 Sep 2026 notes:

Inflammation in the Body
Published on: October 29, 2026
This is the answer to what MMS does for inflammation. Inflammation does not cause the problems in the body. Inflammation is the body’s response to disease of one kind or another for the purpose of protecting the body. If you have a swollen prostrate it is because there is some kind of a problem with …

Unpleasant Symptoms, Biofilms, Going Too Fast
Published on: October 14, 2026
Note: In a health context, a biofilm is a structured, highly organized community of microorganisms (such as bacteria or fungi) that adheres to a surface and is encased within a self-produced, sticky, gel-like matrix of proteins, DNA, and sugars. Instead of floating freely as individual cells, the microbes (bad stuff) physically cluster together to form …

A conversation with Jim in 2010: D: Some doctors have told me that harmful pathogens have the ability to manipulate the brain chemistry to make you crave the things they want to eat. Since I have been on MMS/CD, I have lost all cravings. I have also lost 60 pounds (which I needed to lose), …

MMS/CD and Antioxidants
Published on: September 14, 2026
Some folks get confused and a bit hung up on the issue of MMS/CD and antioxidants. While it is true, we have said and many others emphasize, you cannot take MMS/CD with antioxidants. Fair enough, it stands to reason that taking antioxidants with an oxidizer is not the best thing to do. BUT, you have …
