CDS QUESTIONS - First timer with making CDS

Thank you! Great info. I was planning to use HCL. I think I might be sensitive to the citric acid, but not sure. I've felt I do better with it though over the years.

 was planning to use the directions I see on the web from Andreas Kalcker - I saw his video making it over two days. 

I see you mentioned that a 3000 ppm CDS can be made in 3 hours. That would be fantastic. How is that done? Can you point me to directions, or can you share them? 

I've kept the amber bottles that colloidal silver came in. I could use those bottles. Would that be okay? But once you start using it, the bottles won't be filled to the top. So how long would the CDS last? 

I tried to reply to your questions but my answers did not post, for some reason. 
It is working today. A technician made a change to the forum software and apparently fixed the problem. 



 

Veo que mencionaste que se puede preparar un CDS de 3000 ppm en 3 horas. Eso sería fantástico. ¿Cómo haces eso? ¿Puedes darme direcciones o puedes compartirlas?

Is there anywhere to get the CDS concentrate already made? I did buy some from a guy in CA but I lost his email😫. And it was sooo easy to just mix.

You may have gotten CDS from CA here . 

I understand that this CDS (MMS) 3000 ppm is made fresh weekly and has a longer shelf life.  CDS is Sold in the USA and Canada.
The link for a 4 oz bottle is:  Link to fresh CDS
 

wouldn't it be easier to make your own before every use? am I correct that CDS is equal parts sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid 4%?

CDS is chlorine dioxide (CLO2) gas in water. There is no sodium chlorite or acid in CDS as there would be in MMS1 or CDH. 

Actually, if 4% HCL is used to make CDS, some of the acid will gas into CDS. If 50% citric acid is used to make CDS, citric acid will not gas into CDS, resulting in very clean CDS. And, if 50% citric acid is used to make CDS, only one infusion will be needed and not two infusions as 4% HCL requires.

The CDS recipe changes to 250ml of CDS water in the receiver container and in the reactor container use 12ml of 22.4% SCS + 12ml of 50% citric acid solution. Activation should be completed in about 8 to 12 hours. When the colors of both solutions are about the same, activation is finished. 

If you use one of the two 'Quick CDS' methods, activation is usually completed in 3 hours. 

If CDS is stored properly, it should last for weeks or months in a fridge.
