Aahh, Tom to my rescue. Marshall, I knew I couldn't explain it to you, though I've read it before from Tom's writing on the other list. So I'm very glad Tom is able to discuss this here.
Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- Hello Marshall, You are correct in that the concentration of chlorous acid is dependent upon the PH of the final solution, but the break down actually takes place over several hours. There is no method of measuring chlorine dioxide in the blood, because it doesn't last long enough to make it into the blood stream. Chlorite can be measured, and it does make it into the blood stream, along with all the organs of the body. The overlooked factor is the chlorous acid.
