Write me if you are interested in downloading and reading this 120+ page book. No need to bother the other Silver List readers by posting your request here. There actually are two books on MMS by Jim Humble, both about the same length. When you have read them, you will be more knowledgeable in your comments and we will not have page after page of the repetitious and often groundless opinions to scroll through on the forum that are currently appearing. (Is it really necessary to have the comments appear over and over again, Mike, or couldn't people simply snip a sentence or two they wish to reply to and copy it to their letter before adding their own commentary? I, for one, find it wearying to have to scroll through so much redundant material. Just a suggestion.)
Marlys
On The Mechanisms of Oxidation of Chlorine Oxides An Overview
By Thomas Lee Hesselink, MD Copyright August 7th, 2007
DISCOVERY
Jim Humble, a modern gold prospecting geologist, needed to travel to malaria infested areas numerous times. He or his coworkers would on occasion contract malaria. At times access to modern medical treatment was absolutely unavailable. Under such dire circumstances it was found that a solution useful to sanitize drinking water was also effective to treat malaria if diluted and taken orally. Despite no formal medical training Mr. Humble had the innate wisdom to experiment with various dosage and administration techniques. Out of such necessity was invented an easy to use treatment for malaria which was found rapidly effective in almost all cases. [1]

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The procedure as used by Mr. Humble follows:
A 28% stock solution of 80% (technical grade) sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is prepared. The remaining 0% is a mixture of the usual excipients necessary in the manufacture and stabilization of sodium chlorite powder or flake. Such are mostly sodium chloride (NaCl) 19%, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) <1%, and sodium chlorate (NaClO3) <1%. The actual sodium chlorite present is therefore 22.4%. Using a large caliber dropper (25 drops per cc), the usual administered dose per treatment is 6 to 15 drops. In terms of milligrams of sodium chlorite, this calculates out to 9mg per drop or 54mg to 135mg per treatment. Effectiveness is enhanced, if prior to administration the selected drops are premixed with 2.5 to 5 cc of table vinegar or lime juice and allowed to react for 3 minutes. The acidified solution is then mixed into a glass of water or apple juice and taken orally. This can be taken on an empty stomach to enhance effectiveness but this often causes nausea. Nausea is less likely to occur if food is present such as one hour after meals. The vinegar (5% acetic acid) or lime juice (6 to 9% citric acid) neutralizes the sodium hydroxide and at the same time converts a small portion of the chlorite (ClO2-) to its conjugate acid known as chlorous acid (HClO2). Under such conditions some of the chlorous acid will oxidize other chlorite anions and gradually produce chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Chlorine dioxide appears in solution as a yellow tint which smells exactly like chlorine.
BENEFITS
I first learned of Jim Humble's remarkable discovery in the fall of 2006. That sodium chlorite or chlorine dioxide could kill parasites in vivo seemed immediately reasonable to me at the onset. It is well known that many disease causing organisms are sensitive to oxidants. Various compounds classifiable as oxides of chlorine such as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide are already widely used as disinfectants. What is novel and exciting here is that Mr. Humble's technique seems:
1) easy to use,
2) rapidly acting,
3) successful,
4) apparently lacking in toxicity, and
5) affordable.
If this treatment continues to prove effective, it could be used to help rid the world of one of the most devastating of all known plagues. [1,2] Especially moving in me is the empathy I feel for anyone with a debilitating febrile illness. I cannot forget how horrible I feel whenever I have caught influenza. How much more miserable it must be to suffer like that again and again every 2 to 3 days as happens in malaria. Millions of people suffer this way year round. 1 to 3 million die from malaria every year mostly children. Thus motivated I sought to learn all I could about the chemistry of the oxides of chlorine. I wanted to understand their probable mechanisms of toxicity towards the causative agents of malaria (Plasmodium species). [3] I wanted to check available literature pertaining to issues of safety or risk in human use. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
