Hello Renee, When I think of MMS, I think of the whole MMS protocol.
When I think of sodium chlorite, only one part of the thinking process goes to thinking about MMS. The rest go to the various other uses of sodium chlorite. The confusion can be eliminated simply by referring to the chemical name and leaving the "commercial" name out of the discussion. Sodium chlorite is referred to as "Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide." The early alternative people changed that to "Stabilized Oxygen" when they reviewed the breakdown process of chlorine dioxide in air. The wrongly assumed that the process would be the same inside the body. In air in the presence of UV light ClO2 breaks down to chlorine and oxygen. The chlorine attaches to hydrogen in the air forming HCl. Under high humidity conditions, acid rain forms. The concentration of sodium chlorite is directly related to the available chlorine dioxide in the solution. 22.4% sodium chlorite has 224000 PPM available chlorine dioxide. 2% sodium chlorite has 20000 PPM available chlorine dioxide. Since chlorine dioxide is a strong oxidizer only small amounts are needed. This is why measurements involve parts per million. You don't care what the concentration of the base chemicals are, you are targeting the PPM required to do the job at hand. When dealing with small amounts, low concentration solutions of sodium chlorite allow for more accurate measuring. For example, drops are difficult to accurately measure and are not very repeatable. If you are using a high concentration and dealing in drops, it is much better to dilute the concentration down and use ml or cc for measuring. When you add a weak acid to sodium chlorite, you branch off into Acidified Sodium Chlorite technology (ASC). So, sodium chlorite in water simply can be referred to as a very low percentage sodium chlorite solution. When an acid is added, you have ASC.

It can be used straight from the bottle for burns (But must be washed off in 30 seconds) and some people have put a few drops of straight MMS into a liter of water and sipped on that all day (which tends to be exactly what stabilized oxygen is--just harder to say exactly what percentage of sodium chlorite you are getting this way). Activated MMS is when you take drops of MMS from the bottle, add some form of acid, wait 3 minutes for it to 'activate'. Because Jim Humble always used just MMS for both straight and activated, it was very confusing to some people. I was trying to explain it to a German friend of mine and she just couldn't get his book, and his calling it all simply MMS, whether he meant activated or not. So I took to calling the activated (with acid added) as AMMS, and unactivated as simply MMS. Then she could understand. So a few people picked up the AMMS, but of course, not any of the followers of Jim. So it's still all out there as MMS, whether they are talking about activated or non-activated. It can be confusing. I wish they'd all pick up the AMMS designation just to make it easier for people new to MMS. Samala, Renee
