Amber vs Yellow/gold

In JH's book on recovering health he says MMS1, before adding water, should be sort of brown amber, but not yellow. When I mix my drops it's definitely not brown but a golden yellow and it smells distinctly like chlorine. It smells just like the stuff I used to mix with Anreas Kalcker's bubbler method (from a video available some years ago).
I'm using 22.4% sodium chlorite liquid with 4% Hcl. 1:1 ratio. Why am I not getting the darker color that JH refers to in his book and does this mean my MMS1 is no good?

That's a very interesting thread and it's solved my question. Up to now I had been using the pre-mixed (supossedly) 22.4% Sodium Chlorite solution I bought along with 4% HCl sold as water purification kit online. (Availability is very slim pickings here in Canada - can't buy the flakes or graules anywhere). But I also have granulated product I bought years ago when I was experimenting with CDS which I made with an aquarium pump "bubbler". This was in 2012 as per an Andreas Kalcker YT video which of course has since been removed by YT.
Anyway, I have a quantity of this stuff which I used to mix a batch a few days ago. It's been sitting in a dark cupboard since then and I didn't really think I'd need it. However, just now I mixed my 3 drop dose using that granulated stuff I mixed and guess what... AMBER! I mixed it according to a JH recipe where he says to mix 720 g of H2O with 280 G of Sodium Chlorite... so I divided by 10 & used 72 and 28 grams respectively. So evidently, the solution I bought on-line in a kit is too weak. In an hour or so I'll try it again but use one extra drop of HCl to see if that makes any difference. 25% increase is probably too much so I might experiment a bit. In any case, I don't want to waste the whole bottle of weak stuff so I guess the another thing to try would be to try adding a wee bit of the old 80% granules to the pre-mixed solution. What constitutes a "wee bit" is yet to be undetermined.

Hi Empathic,

Previously I commented on the other thread "More yellow not amber"... and I am also in Canada? Can I know where did you buy you pre-mixed kit from? I bought it from MMS-Discovery in the USA.
Today I have got some Muriatic acid (HCL) from a Hardware store and the result is still too yellowish but more amber than before (not yet there)... Soon I should receive some flake and will make my own MMS. ... It was interesting to read you got a weak one too and you are in Canada as well.

"Real Raw Food" in Alberta. If you find out where to get flakes please let us (me) know Thnx.

Sorry I hijack this thread for something else but could someone confirm me that I mixed my activator correctly I need to make sure... I am not 100% confident I did it right

My Muriatic acid is 31.45% ... I wanted to make a small quantity of activator so I ended up mixing
171ml of distilled water with 25ml of HCL (of 31.45%)... does that make a HCL activator at 4% ?

Thanks!
