Found a place in Jim's new book where he talks about acids that can be used for activation. He says HCl and many other acids can be used for activation but he recommends vinegar and citric acid because that is what we have the most experience with. However, anyone experiencing a problem with these activators can use others that Jim mentions here.

Acids That Can be Used to Activate MMS
Most of the mineral acids and many of the organic acids can be used to activate MMS. However:
● There is one mineral acid that you definitely must not use and that is hydrofluoric acid. It is poisonous.
You can use tartaric acid, citric acid, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and sulfamic acid but not ascorbic acid as it prevents the chemical reaction required to make MMS work.
In fact there are too many different acids for me to list. All the mineral acids can be used except hydrofluoric acid. It was put in our water supplies to keep our teeth hard, they say. But the fact is that it is one of the most poisonous substances and the most dangerous acids known. There were millions of gallons sitting unused and no one knew what to do with them. It is so poisonous it couldn't be thrown away, so someone suggested putting it in our water supply. So that's that they did. That's basically my story, but it is true.
Most water supplies contain hydrofluoric acid because someone said that it hardens tooth enamel. There is no proof of that, but it was a chemical theory, so all those guys who care nothing for the truth somehow pushed the idea until they began emptying millions of gallons of hydrofluoric chemicals into our drinking water. That was nearly 50 years ago and there is still no proof of improved teeth, but there is a lot of evidence of other negative health problems.
As a rule of thumb, use only citric acid or vinegar (or lemon or lime juice, which are both 10% citric acid).
● Use the 10% acid at five drops of acid for one drop of regular MMS1; or
● Use the 50% citric acid at one drop of acid for each drop of MMS.
Some people think that hydrochloric acid (the acid in our stomachs) makes the MMS taste better. Maybe it does, but the problem with all those other acids is that they haven't been used on thousands of people. Each acid produces a different amount of chlorine dioxide for the amount of drops used, so there is no way of telling whether you are getting a standard dose each time you take it, or not. Some people think tartaric acid is better. It is readily available in grocery stores. In my opinion it is best to use citric because it's been used in all the research. We have a better idea of what the outcome is supposed to be.
Most acids work. Just don't use a poisonous acid, especially the hydrofluoric acid I mentioned above. On the other hand, all the research and data from treating thousands of people have been obtained from the use of citric acid. My suggestion is that you always use citric acid as then you always know what to expect, how many seconds to wait and that sort of thing. Why try to re-invent the wheel when thousands of other people have already used citric acid and the results are recorded?
You will not know if you are getting what I say you should get if you are using something different than what I suggest. You would be setting up a whole new program of research. Will you be able to check it out on thousands of people like I have? If not, then your research will be lacking in authenticity.
If you want to use a new acid, don't let me stop you, but be prepared to get different results and have people wondering what your MMS really is. In fact, now that I think about it:
● If you do use an acid other than citric acid, you should add somewhere, if you are selling it, "not approved by Jim Humble".
Anybody buying it from you should know that I am not approving other acids. If I did, we would soon have dozens of different mixtures. It would wind up being a hodgepodge of MMSs being sold. So that is the answer to different acids. There are dozens that will work but thousands of people have already used citric acid successfully, so why not join them? Don't try to re-invent the wheel.
