Hello Martin;
I say 90% recovery because of our food supply; I can never stop taking CD, there is never a 100% perfect fix.
Whenever I feel pain in my joints or back; I up my intake of CD.
It was 21 days, 8 times a day, and then the maintenance dose of one in the morning and one in the evening. One time I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks and the symptons I had before slowly begin to creep back.
I am not even aware they creep back, I just think I have not taken it for a while, I will do a maintenance dose of 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. The next few days those very minor aches and pains are gone, clarity and sense of well being return. I remember talking to my brother about my experience with CD after taking it for three months, I was getting better and better, every week. I questioned, how can this be possible?
This EPA study of "Glyphosate removal from drinking water" completed in 1993 from the link below.
cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_public_record_report.cfm?Lab=NRMRL&dirEntryId=129919
They wanted to see which method below was the best for removing glyphosate from drinking water.
Activated-carbon, oxidation, conventional-treatment, filtration, and membrane studies are conducted to determine which process is best suited to remove the herbicide glyphosate from potable water
The last sentence in their description;
"The oxidation results indicate that glyphosate is easily destroyed by chlorine and ozone. Chlorine dioxide, permanganate, and hydrogen pereoxide are less successful. These conventional-treatment and adsorption results are confirmed by pilot-scle studies."
It appears only oxidation methods work to remove glyphosate.
They are speaking in the context of wide scale glyphosate removal from our drinking water.
How did chlorine do in this study?
99% removal after 5 seconds
Complete removal after 10 minutes
What did they mean by less successful?
How did chlorine dioxide do?
28% of glyphosate removal initially (Drop from 739 to 590)
56% of glyphosate removal after 9 hours
So I would say, from this study held in the EPA's library, it appears that chlorine dioxide is successful at destroying glyphosate, but not at the same swiftness and totality of chlorine, which they require for wide sale removal of glyphosate from our water supply
The results are here page 22/39 on pdf page number, or page 16 on the bottom of the actual page
No need to read the whole thing just the summary in the last paragraph of 3.2.4 Clorination
Read the two paragraphs in 3.2.5 Chlorine dioxide

It is good to read and to question; and gather more references
