Tom, I guess I'm still not getting this. You are in essence making a very dilute form of AMMS (activated mms), right? At 300ppm of chlorine dioxide?
Yet you are saying that this mix, that the chlorine dioxide will still be viable after x number of days? Instead of the few hours that Jim Humble states the chlorine dioxide is viable in a regular AMMS solution? Thanks, Renee -------Original Message------- The goal is to have a complete reaction between the two chemicals during the activation process. This gives you the purest chlorous acid and the highest degree of oxidation potential from the solution. The mixture you mentioned would end up with about 126 PPM available chlorine dioxide with about 15 PPM of that as free chlorine dioxide. It would also have excess citric acid in it. If the infection is slight, it may be powerful enough to knock out the infection, but there is a reasonable chance for failure with that strength. With difficult dog ears I have started by doubling the strength I mention above, then after a few treatments, dropped back to the 300 PPM available chlorine dioxide strength. With humans I have found the 300 PPM available solution to be very effective.
