Ode,
Would MMS oxidize the silver ions/particles in the blood, thus
rendering it ineffective?

MMS is Sodium Chlorite granules processed in a weak acid to produce
Chlorine Dioxide gas dissolved in the blood stream.
"The Chlorine Dioxide People"
What is Chlorine Dioxide? Where is it used? How does it work?
Chlorine Dioxide (CD) is a greenish-yellow gas and is a
single-electron-transfer oxidizing agent with a chlorine-like odor. CD has
been recognized since the beginning of the century for its disinfecting
properties; and has been approved by the US EPA for many
applications including the widespread use of CD in the treatment of
drinking water. Beyond this and numerous other aqueous
applications, the sporicidal properties of gaseous CD were demonstrated in
1986. Subsequent to these initial studies, it has been
shown that gaseous CD is a rapid and effective sterilant active against
bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses. The rapid sterilizing
activity of CD is present at ambient temperature and at relatively low gas
concentration, 1 to 30 mg/L.
Chlorine dioxide is widely used as an antimicrobial and as an oxidizing
agent in drinking water; poultry process water, swimming
pools, and mouthwash preparations. It is used to sanitize fruit and
vegetables as well as equipment for food and beverage
processing. It is used to decontaminate animal facilities. It is also
employed in the health care industries to decontaminate rooms,
pass-throughs, isolators and also as a sterilant for product and component
sterilization.
What's more, as an oxidizing agent, it is
extensively used to bleach, deodorize, and detoxify a wide variety of
materials, including cellulose, paper-pulp, flour, leather, fats
and oils, and textiles. Approximately 4 to 5 million pounds of chlorine
dioxide are used daily.
Chemical Properties
Pure chlorine dioxide is an unstable gas and therefore is generated as
needed.
Although chlorine dioxide has "chlorine" in its name,
its chemistry is radically different from that of chlorine. When reacting
with other substances, it is weaker and more selective. For
example, it does not react with ammonia or most organic compounds.
Chlorine dioxide oxygenates products rather than
chlorinating them.
Therefore, unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide does not produce
environmentally undesirable organic compounds
containing chlorine.

Antimicrobial Properties / Mode of Action
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) acts as an oxidizing agent and reacts with several
cellular constituents, including the cell membrane of
microbes. By "stealing" electrons from them (oxidation), it breaks their
molecular bonds, resulting in the death of the organism by
the break up of the cell. Since chlorine dioxide alters the proteins
involved in the structure of microorganisms, the enzymatic
function is broken, causing very rapid bacterial kills. The potency of
chlorine dioxide is attributable to the simultaneous, oxidative
attack on many proteins thereby preventing the cells from mutating to a
resistant form. Additionally, because of the lower
reactivity of chlorine dioxide, its antimicrobial action is retained
longer in the presence of organic matter.
Sporal vs bacterial inactivation?
The difference between sporal and bacterial inactivation can be likened to
the difference between sterilization and disinfection.
For example, for a chemical agent to be classified as a sterilant, it must
be demonstrated to have sporicidal activity. For this
reason, spores are commonly used as a challenge in sterilization process
development. Disinfection, on the other hand, does not
require the complete inactivation of microbial life and in some cases
disinfectant claims may be substantiated by demonstrating
bacterial inactivation capability.
The following is a simplistic explanation of the differences between a
spore and a bacterium. Bacterial endospores are one of the
most persistent forms of microbial life and typically require aggressive
inactivation procedures. Vegetative bacteria are generally
much more easily inactivated than are bacterial endospores. This is
primarily because the sensitive areas of bacteria are easily
contacted by chemosterilizing agents. The spore, however, has a more
complex structure than the vegetative bacterial cell. Its
sensitive material is contained within a core and that core is surrounded
by a cortex and spore coats. These coats tend to act as a
permeability barrier to the entry of chlorine dioxide and other compounds
(Knapp).

Hi,
I would like to hear if any one out there has tryed mixing CS and MMS and
what the results has been.
Best regards,
