Joyce, thanks for the chuckle!

Actually, those two jars contain MMSA instead of CDS, although they are made over a 12 hour period like CDS is made.

The jar on the right started out as CDS for 1 hour, then the shot glass reactor containing MMSU and 50% CA was spilled into the distilled water and continued to react for another 12 hours.

The jar on the left also contains MMSA (will be called OMMS, I think) but there was no CDS mode. All ingredients were combined at one time; MMSU, 50% CA and distilled water. The cap was immediately put on and the reaction time was 12 hours.

Both methods react at room temperature, then into the fridge until cool. Only then is the cap removed to extract some solution for measurement or use.

These methods of making MMSA are like making CDS in that a closed container is used, the reaction occurs at room temperature and the reaction time is long - 12 hours. The containers are only opened when the solutions are about 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) so the ClO2 should not outgas much.

In terms of CLO2 conversion efficiency, the jar on the left was 90 mg ClO2/ml of MMSU used. The jar on the right was 107 mg/ml. Compared to the CDS as made per the web page instructions Amanda Mary referenced, that example only generated 30mg/ml of MMSU used.

I use high ppm CDS on skin lesions. An effective way to administer the CDS is to open the lesion enough to Q-tip some strong CDS inside/underneath the lesion. Haven't tried CDI, yet!

[p.s. I just heard this joke that gave me a good laugh: What do you get when you cross an agnostic, a dyslexic, and an insomniac? A person that stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.[/quote]

Hahaha

Thanks Joyce, I needed that (it took me awhile but the non-obvious finally popped into my head).
