Hello Renee,

Feel free to use anything I post.

Yogurt manufacturers took a look at using acidified sodium chlorite to control 
mold growth in their packages.  The quickly abandoned the idea when they found 
that it was destroying their yogurt by killing all of the bacteria.  I 
generally view the bacterial in yogurt as being friendly, so it would appear 
that chlorine dioxide is capable of killing good bacteria too.

Activation of sodium chlorite is very critical.  There has been a lot of 
research into the most effective way to activate sodium chlorite, and there are 
millions of dollars of food products that depend on proper activation to keep 
pathogens from spoiling the food.

I am not sure where Jim Humble came up with his method of activation, but he 
didn't do any testing on it.  If you follow the MMS protocol, you end up with 
excess citric acid in the dose.  While this may to be totally terrible, it is 
not totally effective either.  I have found that if you use the same activation 
that is used in industry, your solution is about 30% more effective as far as 
oxidation goes.

The most efficient way to activate sodium chlorite with citric acid and form a 
pure chlorous acid solution, is to use a 1:1 ratio of sodium chlorite and 10% 
citric acid, and let the activation continue for 10 minutes.  If you really 
feel you need some extra citric acid in your diet, take it separately and don't 
pollute your sodium chlorite solution.

Did you know that you can activate sodium chlorite with vitamin C?  We actually 
used vitamin C as an activator when working with some people with MS.  The 
concern was with the by products from citric acid activation.  The medical 
professional I was working with felt better with the by products of vitamin C.  

I am not familiar with the Cell Food product.

I have had several people ask me about jotting all of this information down, 
but it is actually quite involved.  I am now to the point that if you don't 
have a background in handling and mixing chemicals, and understand the math of 
PPM and dilution rates, "playing" with sodium chlorite may not be the best 
thing to do.  It is reasonably safe, for the most part, with bleaching being 
one of the most frequent consequences.  However, there is a real possibility of 
respiratory damage, eye damage, and if you aren't tidy you can start a fire in 
your garbage can and possibly in your house.

Tom

          Hi Tom.  Would you mind if I pass this wonderful information on to 
the MMS list?

          Thanks again for patiently explaining all this to me.  I appreciate 
it.
