HCl is rather corrosive. I would suggest using citric acid for the
activation (just like adding MMS to lemon juice) instead. This is what
I figure:
molecular weight of sodium chlorite = 90.44
molecular weight of chlorine dioxide = 67.45
molecular weight of citric acid = 192.14
So if we have a liter of water, we need to make 100 ppm which requires
100 mg of chlorine dioxide. This will require 100*90.44/67.75 mg of
sodium chlorite and 100*192.75/67.25 mg of citric acid.
Thus we need 133.5 mg of sodium chlorite and 286.6 mg of citric acid per
liter of water. However most sodium chlorite is only 80% NaClO2, so we
have to use 25% more, or 166.875 mg of commercially available stuff.
Now measuring the effective density of both, I find that one level
teaspoon of sodium chlorite weights 4.4 g and one level teaspoon of
citric acid (NOW brand) weights 5.5 g.
Thus using volume measurements I find that we need .038 teaspoon of
sodium chlorite and .052 teaspoon of citric acid. Now if we multiply
both of these by 48 (48 teaspoons) we get 1.824 and 2.495 teaspoons per
cup of water.
This can be approximated by using 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 teaspoon for the sodium
chlorite, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of the citric acid in a cup of water
each. If you bottle each of these, then use 1 teaspoon of each in a
liter of water for the bath, that should come pretty close to what is
needed for the 100 ppm of chlorine dioxide.
As for proper activation, I would do what is said below, use 1 teaspoon
each in a glass of water, wait 30 seconds for activation, then add water
to make one liter for the final bath.

Hello Ode,
You may find this interesting to read...

Using a 5% sodium chlorite solution and 6% HCl as the activator you can
mix
up this solution by placing 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of 5% sodium chlorite in a
glass and add 5 ml of the 6% HCl to activate it. Activation time is
about
30 seconds.
Next you add enough water to make 1 liter of total solution and use this
for
the bath for the nails (finger or toes).
This solution is slightly stronger than the one listed in the patent,
but it
is still below any adverse effects for dermal exposure. The solution I
have
used ends up with 150 PPM free chlorine dioxide. As mentioned in the
patent, chlorine d ioxide is capable of penetrating the nail to destroy
the
fungus living in it. It can also penetrate through the nail into the
nail
bed where it takes care of business there as well.
To be effective, you need to stick to the 1 hour soak time, and repeat
this
every day for a week. The fungus is killed rather quickly, but the
search
and destroy mission takes a little longer.
