In chapter one there is a Definition of Terms, as follows:
"MMS: Unactivated MMS, which is a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) in water. (This is made from 80% sodium chlorite powder or flakes.)
MMS1: Also referred to as activated MMS. (Note the added “1” to MMS.) It is MMS (sodium chlorite) plus an activator (food acid). When the two are mixed together they produce MMS1 (chlorine dioxide [ClO2]).
Note: Although the chemical formula for chlorine is “Cl”, the chemical formula Cl is also found in the chemical formula for chlorine dioxide (ClO2), and it is also found in the chemical formula for table salt (NaCl). Chlorine dioxide is totally different from common household bleach (sodium hypochlorite, which also has Cl in its chemical formula, NaClO) which is toxic and known to be cancer causing. Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is not cancer causing and has an amazing ability to destroy (through oxidation) disease-causing microorganisms that may be on or in the human body, while doing no harm to the body. Because of the chemical nature of chlorine dioxide, it destroys these microorganisms in such a manner that it is also destroyed at the same time, leaving behind only a few grains of plain table salt, discharged oxygen atoms, and dead microor- ganisms, which the body can easily wash out of the system.
MMS1 Dose Drops: Anytime in this book that we refer to “drops” of MMS1 (activated MMS) we only count the actual drops of MMS (sodium chlorite). Thus although we add additional activator drops to an MMS1 dose we do not count the added activator drops when referring to the drops in the dose. For example, a 3-drop dose of MMS1 will have 3 drops of MMS and 3 drops of activator acid making actually 6 drops of liquid total, but we still only say that it is a 3-drop dose.
MMS2: Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)2, when mixed with water turns into a solution of hypochlorous acid, which is an oxidizing acid that the human immune system natural- ly produces to destroy disease germs and clean up poi- sons in the system."
As for CDS/CDH:
"Other than MMS1, there are two other forms of MMS— CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution) and CDH (Chlorine Diox- ide Holding). Although all three forms work in slightly different ways, all three have been successful in helping people restore their health. However, in this Guidebook we will only be referring to the original MMS—that is the formula that to date has been the most tried and proven over a longer period of time. One purpose of this book is to give you, the reader, a good foundation in the use of the Master Mineral Solution. This basic understanding is needed in order to use all the forms of MMS. If you get these basics down you’ll be well on your way to better health. The same principles in this book can be applied to the other forms of MMS. (See Appendix A.)"
