BobJ quoted from Jim's first MMS book:
"(On June 1, 2007 it was discovered that pure citric acid works even better than vinegar, lime, or lemon.) When one of these items is added to sodium chlorite it causes the solution to begin to release chlorine dioxide. The addition of 6 drops of a solution that is 22.4% sodium chlorite (MMS) to 30 drops of vinegar, lime, or lemon will release approximately 2 mg of chlorine dioxide in 3 minutes— that’s the reason for the 3-minute wait. However, when you add 4 ounces of water or apple juice to make about 1/2 glass of liquid, the process nearly stops, leaving the solution with 2 mg chlorine dioxide for the body, which is quite a bit. Adding vinegar, lime, or lemon to the sodium chlorite does the trick. If you don’t add one of these items, all you have is the same old stabilized oxygen health drink, which is interesting, but it really doesn’t get the job done." Jim did not mention that stomach acid should increase the amount of CLO2 in the MMS1 dose when ingested.
A few years ago I wanted to measure how much CLO2 a 3 drop dose of MMS1 contained as used in Protocol 1000, which used to be 20 seconds activation time (today it is 30 seconds) when a one-to-one mix of MMS and activator is used. Note that the measurements were taken at the end of the 20 second activation time period, immediately after being mixed into 120 ml (4 fl oz) of water. So, those measurements were for external activation of MMS, not including internal activation by stomach acid. Measurements were also taken at 40, 60, 90 and 120 seconds (one at 180 seconds). In all, 33 separate tests were run over a few days time.
When I say "how much CLO2" I mean the quantity of CLO2 which is measured by weight in milligrams of CLO2.
Note that Jim also used the term milligrams of CLO2. In his next two books he does not use that term, instead he only talks about 'drops', a very inaccurate method of measuring quantities of chemicals! In my testing, I have found that the size of drops can vary by a factor of 2 to 1. That might mean your dropper could be producing drops one-half or twice the size of another dropper - one half or twice the dosage you think you are getting.
If we used milligrams of CLO2 to determine MMS dosages, it would be simple to dose with MMS1, CDS or CDH interchangeably. I made two charts to do just that, one for ingestion use and one chart for non-ingestion use. In fact, Jim included both charts in a pre-release version of his current book,
MMS Health Recovery Guidebook. However, they were not in the book's final release, for some reason. Without those charts, most people would not be able to use CDS or CDH with MMS1 protocols found in the book.
The charts are in this PDF file.
More recently, since CDS came on the scene, it has been popular to measure the concentration of CLO2 in a water solution, measured in parts per million (ppm). That measurement does not tell you how much CLO2 you have in a given amount of water, only the concentration. A little bit of simple math will tell you how much CLO2 is in that SCS, but most people don't do the calculation. So they use ppm to indicate how much CLO2 is in their SCS, which is not correct.
Here is the chart with the results of my testing done a few years ago. You can also find my chart in Andreas Kalcker's first CDS book.
Note that lemon juice produced 0.5 mg CLO2 when 3 drops of MMS and 15 drops of lemon juice are combined for 3 minutes. If 6 drops MMS plus 30 drops lemon juice were used, then 1 mg CLO2 should result. Jim says there should be 2 mg, but that is not what I measured. Remember that these amounts of CLO2 are only what is released from MMS outside a stomach which contains acid that should release much more CLO2 from residual MMS when ingested.
