Good points, Rev Ray.
Progress seems to always bring change, and as long as the change is beneficial, then I guess we need to embrace that change.
I have a lifetime supply of citric acid that will probably only be used to clean out mineral deposits from my water distiller!
Yes, I think HCL is an excellent acid activator for MMS and the taste difference is huge. Some suppliers have not kept up with recent changes in the MMS world and that is a problem. When people go shopping for HCL and don't find it, they have a problem. I believe it was Andreas who switched to HCL early on.
If recipes are followed closely, measuring PPM will not be necessary, assuming the ingredients are good. With the introduction of CDS came the idea that measuring ppm was necessary. Again, following the recipe and using good chemicals, one should not have to measure ppm.
The CDH one bottle overnight method is almost fool proof. And if you want a higher ppm using that method, it is possible. I have made 4000ppm in 300ml with that method by merely using a leak-proof cap and filling the bottle to the very top so there is almost no air left. The three ingredient amounts have to be scaled up a bit to fill the bottle, however. It is important to stick with the basic recipe of 22+1+1.
My understanding is that Schweppes drinks in 300ml bottles are sold almost world-wide, and that may become the standard bottle for making CDH, especially with its excellent reusable no-leak cap. The drinks they sell are under pressure, so the cap has to seal very well.
Dosing is a personally determined amount based on Herxheimer response. I have heard of one older autistic child who was consuming one whole 240ml bottle of CDH daily! I guess we don't know the maximum upper limit. With classic MMS using citric acid activator, it wasn't too hard to find the upper limit!
What we need now is more people using CDH to find out if it works as well or better than classic MMS. Initial reports indicate that it does.
