Per the book instructions I activate 10 drops (10 drops of MMS with 10 drops of 50% citric acid) in a glass, wait for 30 seconds, then put 120 ml (half a cup or 4oz) of bottled water (prepare it to be enough for one day), then I put the liquid into another small glass bottle with a lid. Then I go to bathroom, pour out some liquid into another container, brush my teeth and gums for about 1-2 minutes, dipping the brush 3-5 times. Usually I brush first time after breakfast, then in the afternoon and the last time before bed.
Hi Kentaurus. Since you have said that Jim's teeth brushing protocol hasn't worked for you, I'd like to give you the following alternative to help you out.
First of all, in order to deactivate pathogens in general with CLO2, there are a few things we should always keep in mind:
-1.
Concentration - The more concentrated the CLO2 in solution, the quicker and easier the pathogens will be deactivated.
-2.
Turbidity - The more particles there are in a medium, the less effective the the CLO2 will be.
-3.
Temperature - The warmer the solution is, the more effective the CLO2 will be. For example an equivalent ppm CLO2 solution used at refrigerator temperatures will be far less effective than one used at 41 degrees C (106 degrees F).
About the way you've been using MMS to brush your teeth; 10 drops activated as you are doing will only produce about 6.7mg of CLO2 even though they have a potential of 67mg. The reason why is that a 30 second activation only activates all 10 drops at most to 10% of their potential. Also, we need to divide those 6.7mg by 3 times a day since you're using the solution you made in the morning for 3 brushings a day. So 6.7mg divided by 3 = 2.23 per brushing.
Then you mentioned that you're just dipping your brush 3-5 times and brushing for 1-2 minutes, so there is really very little of the solution actually contacting the surfaces of your mouth. Based on this, I would say we could reduce the 2.23mg per brushing by at least another 5 times. So 2.23 divided by 5 comes to just, conservatively 0.45mg of CLO2 you're actually getting into your mouth at each brushing.
On top of all of this, you might be putting the solution that you made up in the morning into the refrigerator to keep it from losing the CLO2 gas through the day - am I right? If I am, then I doubt you're warming it up to 41 degrees C before brushing the other 2 times a day. If it's actually cold when you're using it to brush your teeth, then even less of the CLO2 will be available to do the job in your mouth.
In addition to all of the above, I know it must taste pretty bad because the way you're making it (with citric acid and activating for a short time) is the way I used to make it in the beginning and yuck, it really was unpleasant. I remember very clearly the way it made my teeth and mouth feel for about 3-5 minutes afterwards, until the awful taste and feeling subsided.
So to fix all of the above and hopefully kill whatever is growing in your mouth, here's what I would do (and is what I do to a certain extent twice a day).
-1.
Either make a batch of CDH (3.5mg per ml) or CDS (3.0mg per ml) ideally using HCl instead of citric acid. This will give you a much higher ppm per drop of MMS used to make either product and if you are able to make the CDH with HCl instead of citric acid, it will taste and feel much better in your mouth too.
-2.
Before brushing, floss your teeth (at least once a day) to reduce the amount of debris in your mouth and then rinse your mouth well with water too, before going to the next step.
-3.
Put 100ml of warm water (as in 38 to 41 degrees C or 100 to 106 degrees F) in a glass and then add 2ml of either the CDH or CDS to the nice warm water. (2ml of CDH will give you about 7mg of CLO2 and 2ml of CDS at 3mg per ml (3000ppm) will give you 6mg)
-4.
Immediately (before the water cools down) sip in a small amount of the water (about 15-20ml) and swish this all around your mouth, trying to force it between your teeth, etc. for about 10 seconds and then spit it out.
-5.
Then take another 15-20ml sip and while holding it in your mouth, brush your lower teeth and gums thoroughly.
-6.
Take another sip and do the same with your upper teeth and gums.
-7.
Take another sip and thoroughly brush your tongue, going as far back as you can until it just about makes you gag (we want to get that bacteria the hides out at the very back of your tongue as much as possible so it won't repopulate later on).
-8.
Take the remaining amount and gargle with it for about 5 seconds to get to the very back of your mouth.
-9.
Do the above 2 to 3 times a day for a week. If you still have the coated tongue after a week, increase to 3ml of either CDH or CDS in the 100ml of warm water and repeat for another week. If even that doesn't work, and you can handle it, increase to 4ml in the 100ml of warm water - but this amount is pretty strong so be careful.
I believe that not only will the above work, but it will also taste and feel a lot better to your mouth because of using HCl instead of citric acid, if its available to you.
By the way, I have been brushing my teeth as above twice a day for about
3 years now. The only difference being that for about the last 6 months, I have reduced to just 1ml of CDH per 100ml of warm water because for my needs, I think 1ml is sufficient.
If you'd like to understand why I'm saying what I'm saying about concentration, turbidity and temperature of water and their affect on how CLO2 works to deactivate bacteria, read the following document which explains the importance of all 3 in deactivating bacteria in produce:
