SC vs MMS

SC vs MMS
A. MMS, CDS and CDH are made from the same two chemicals:
1. SC (22.4% Sodium Chlorite solution from 28% salts), consisting of 80% sodium chlorite and distilled water, and
2. An acid, ideally 4% HCL for MMS and CDH and 10% HCL for CDS.

B. MMS, CDS and CDH are the acronyms for these three oxidizers:
1. MMS = Master Mineral Solution
2. CDS = Chlorine Dioxide Solution
3. CDH = Chlorine Dioxide Holding (Solution)

C. However, from the beginning the acronym MMS has also been used to describe SC, (22.4% Sodium Chlorite solution from 28% salts). This causes great confusion to this day.

D. To differentiate between the two MMSs, sometimes you will read or hear the terms unactivated MMS and activated MMS. Also found are MMSU and MMSA. Unfortunately, you will read & hear just MMS & that can refer to either of the two definitions for MMS.

E. Therefore, I propose that the acronym MMS be used only to describe the finished product, Master Mineral Solution, and SC to denote one of two ingredients in MMS, 22.4% Sodium Chlorite solution from 28% salts; the second ingredient being an acid activator.

F. Some have used the acronym CD (Chlorine Dioxide) to describe MMS, but that is incomplete as we know there is more than chlorine dioxide (CLO2) in MMS. CD would be an accurate description for CDS, however, as CDS only contains chlorine dioxide gas in a distilled water solution.

Very usefull to explain to newbies, thank you, Sikke or strandjutter.

it'd be great to establish consistent acronyms and have them stickied to top of forum... Definitions of MMS

Sounds good to me JB13.

I second your proposition.

Henceforth, I shall strive to always use the acronyms as you have thus described them.

All in favor of JB's proposition, please say aye.

Those apposed say nay, and please state the reason why you have so said.


Thanks JB13,
Scott

PS. Regarding the "CD" acronym - that's mostly another community and so I don't think it will effect us to much here - if we just let people know that CD = MMS, as I have done when quoting Kerri's book, there shouldn't be a problem.

aye matey...it'd be great to establish consistent acronyms and have them stickied to top of forum... Definitions of MMS

and a conversion table
OMG!
MMS is not so simple with a zillion measurements in several different measures US Metric British....
drops Ml Oz PPM...
teaspoons quarts litres Imperial Metric and US...
4% 10% 22.4% 28% 50%

All this math and science, if it could be standardised and simplified so average users could understand this, given they are often ill, unable to do math and science...the ill are a skeptical bunch and any amount of mental exercise is often too much.

users of this forum are often users of other forums or internet information clearing sites.
Standardizing the terminology across those venues will be a much harder gap to close.

LOL, I remember, 4 years ago, sending a note to Jim Humble regarding this same topic - he wrote me back in no uncertain terms that he wanted the term MMS to apply to both the unactivated SC 28%, as well as the activated MMS/CA. At that time I was trying to get him to use MMS1 for one and MMS for the other, but he was definitely holding onto his initial decisions.

Firstly - none of us would be here discussing this substance - if was not for Jim Humble. So personally I will always defer to Jim's wishes regardless of wether I agree, or disagree.

That said, I do agree that clear definitions should be established and maintained in a data base to enable meaningful communication.

Steve began that last year:

g2cforum.org/index.php/list/welcome/25672-glossary-of-terms-and-measurements-used-commonly-on-the-forum#30897

Given the number of "Thank You's" received on that post - it is definetly appreciated by many users

Perhaps Jim could be approached again?

Thank you to all of you -

As a "newbie" I have been greatly confused by all the different names - I'm still not sure of what they all are - will try to continue to learn.

Pam, or instance, I had heard or seen MMS1 and wondered if it was a different kind of MMS.

thanks to all of you for trying to help us newbies get it right. I agree with fourfingerz that Jim should decide. Also agree with fourfingerz that "clear definitions should be established and maintained"

aye to your proposition , truthquester

Steve wrote: Yeah, I started putting "Part A" on MMS and "Part B" on activator about 2 years ago.
It makes it easier to explain things to people.


Thanks

I also do something similar
1st though, two MMS term C words I do not mention if I do not have to "Church and Chlorine". Both have negative reaction in newbies. I leave those words out till "safe"

That said when I bottle my kits I label
MMSU in RED
AC in GREEN
DMSO in BLUE

My instruction sheet currently says, add 3 drops RED with 3 drops GREEN, wait 20 seconds (soon to be another value) add 3 drops BLUE and yet I still get people asking me how to mix MMS.
