4 Ways of Creating and Ingesting MMS/CLO2 in a Nutshell, ver. 2.0 (based on 20 drops per ml)

Hi Devon

I'm a relative newbie but I'm a researcher and have quickly dug into the whole ClO₂ field, which seems to complement the functional medicine & naturopathic approaches very well.

Attached is a nice list of MMS acronyms. The term MMS itself stands (originally) for 'Miracle Mineral Supplement'. I gather (from a piece towards the end of one of the videos that I came across) that Jim Humble deliberately chose this somewhat off-putting name so that it would get quickly ridiculed and dismissed rather than deliberately attacked in a serious way. The 'supplement' was changed to 'solution' due to a challenge about the technical term 'supplement' and some people use a different value for the first 'M' to avoid being too wacky. I tend to use the proper chemical nomenclature of NaClO₂ when referring to the stock form and always used HCl to activate it although any acid can be used and some instructions identify citric acid as an activator. I prefer hydrochloric acid because it's present in the stomach, because the chemical reaction is more straightforward and because the co-products are simple and non-toxic.

I understand what you mean about the unpalatable nature of MMS1 (activated NaClO₂) and the standard answer is to dilute it further. The other route is to prepare a pure solution of the ClO₂ gas (CDS), which has a neutral pH and no residues and cross-products. This is my preferred method and has become our standard way of taking ClO₂. You need a little bit of kit to make it but it is not difficult and although it is not instantaneous, it can be produced within the day or overnight as we prefer to do.

The methodology that I use is that developed by CLO2 and demonstrated by Andreas Kalcker in this video  but I fully activate the NaClO₂ and only use a single activation. I react it at room temperature and in the morning put it in the fridge for an hour or so before opening it up to remove the shot glass of reacted chemicals and decanting the [CDS] solution into dark coloured glass bottles. This reduces the amount of ClO₂ gas that escapes because above about 10°C the ClO₂ gas comes out of solution more readily. I also tend to aim at 4000ppm rather than 3000ppm, which is classic CDS because this seems to be a good balance between being sufficiently concentrated that a single (350ml) amount lasts more than a week but not too concentrated that dosing requires anything other than a measuring spoon.

In terms of ClO₂ being used for water purification, you can do this on a small scale by activating a few drops of NaClO₂ with HCl and then adding it to a container of water. Industrially (in swimming pools and municipal water treatment works) they have automated equipment to dosed the solutions into the water. Scotmas is a world leading manufacturer of such technology and happens to have their main base close to where I live.
