For many years, chlorine dioxide has been known primarily as a water purifier. It is a powerful oxidizer that kills pathogens in drinking water by breaking down their cell walls and rendering them harmless. But beyond this accepted use, millions of people worldwide have shared anecdotal reports of chlorine dioxide water purification drops relieving and often eliminating infectious diseases. These accounts, though not yet validated by mainstream medicine, are consistent and widespread enough to suggest that there is clearly something here that demands further examination.
The Most Reported Successes
Here is a numbered list of the infectious diseases people most often report success with when using chlorine dioxide:
- Malaria
A mosquito-borne parasite that causes cycles of fever, chills, and severe fatigue. Many users claim chlorine dioxide brings relief within hours, with fever and symptoms disappearing rapidly. - Lyme Disease
A tick-borne bacterial infection known for joint pain, neurological problems, and fatigue. Testimonies describe reduced pain, clearer thinking, and energy returning after consistent use. - Candida
A fungal overgrowth that causes yeast infections, thrush, digestive upset, and systemic imbalance. Users say chlorine dioxide helps restore balance and reduce chronic Candida symptoms. - Influenza (Flu)
A viral respiratory infection marked by fever, cough, and body aches. Reports suggest chlorine dioxide helps shorten recovery time and ease the intensity of symptoms. - Strep Throat
A painful throat infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria. Many share that chlorine dioxide clears sore throat, fever, and swollen glands faster than expected. - E. Coli
A bacterial infection that causes food poisoning, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Users note chlorine dioxide relieves digestive distress and restores balance quickly. - Hepatitis
Viral infections (A, B, and C) that damage the liver, causing jaundice, fatigue, and long-term health risks. Testimonies point to improved liver function, energy, and symptom relief. - Chlamydia
A common sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can lead to serious complications if untreated. Some report chlorine dioxide helped clear infections and restore reproductive health. - HIV/AIDS
A viral infection that attacks the immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to opportunistic infections. Though not a cure, many report improved strength, energy, and fewer secondary infections. - MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
A dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. Anecdotes describe wounds and skin infections clearing when chlorine dioxide was applied both internally and topically. - Tuberculosis (TB)
A bacterial lung infection that causes coughing, weakness, and weight loss. Reports suggest chlorine dioxide helps restore breathing function and overall vitality. - Coxsackie B Virus
A viral infection associated with heart inflammation, flu-like symptoms, and chronic fatigue. Individuals have reported that chlorine dioxide reduces fatigue and supports recovery.
In the United States, chronic Lyme disease is the number one infectious disease concern, reportedly resolved with chlorine dioxide. Reports are featured in many works. Interestingly, it is a commonly held belief that Lyme disease is the most misdiagnosed disease in the USA.

Summary Table: Infectious Diseases and Anecdotal Outcomes with Chlorine Dioxide
# | Infectious Disease | Cause | Description | Reported Anecdotal Outcomes |
1 | Malaria | Parasite (Plasmodium via mosquito) | Cyclical fevers, chills, weakness | Fever and symptoms are relieved rapidly, sometimes within hours |
2 | Lyme Disease | Bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi) | Joint pain, fatigue, neurological issues | Reduced joint pain, clearer thinking, restored energy |
3 | Candida | Fungus (Candida albicans and related) | Yeast infections, thrush, digestive upset | Relief from chronic yeast issues, restored digestive balance |
4 | Influenza (Flu) | Virus (influenza strains) | Fever, cough, body aches, fatigue | Shortened recovery, reduced symptom intensity |
5 | Strep Throat | Bacteria (Streptococcus pyogenes) | Sore throat, fever, swollen glands | Faster relief of throat pain and fever |
6 | E. Coli | Bacteria (Escherichia coli) | Food poisoning, diarrhea, cramps | Relieved digestive distress, faster recovery |
7 | Hepatitis (A, B, C) | Virus (various strains) | Liver inflammation, jaundice, fatigue | Improved liver function, energy, and reduced symptoms |
8 | Chlamydia | Bacteria (Chlamydia trachomatis) | Common STD can cause reproductive harm | Infections reportedly cleared, improved reproductive health |
9 | HIV/AIDS | Virus (HIV) | Progressive immune system breakdown | More energy, fewer opportunistic infections, improved quality of life |
10 | MRSA | Bacteria (Methicillin-resistant Staph aureus) | Antibiotic-resistant skin/lung infections | Cleared wounds and skin infections, improved healing |
11 | Tuberculosis (TB) | Bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) | Chronic lung infection, cough, weakness | Better breathing, weight gain, and increased vitality |
12 | Coxsackie B Virus | Virus (enterovirus group) | Heart inflammation, fatigue, flu-like symptoms | Reduced fatigue, improved recovery, and strength |
A Common Thread
Across these twelve diseases, whether bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic, people describe using chlorine dioxide in much the same way: as a cleansing agent that kills infection. Once the infection is reduced or eliminated, symptoms often vanish, leaving users with renewed energy and health.
The Debate
Mainstream health agencies strongly discourage the internal use of chlorine dioxide, citing a lack of approved medical studies to support its use. Advocates argue that the lived experiences of millions cannot simply be dismissed. For them, chlorine dioxide has already proven itself as a safe, inexpensive, and effective remedy for infectious diseases.
Moving Forward
Whether one is cautious or curious, there is no denying that chlorine dioxide has captured global attention. Its growing reputation, supported by countless testimonials, highlights the need for rigorous study. Until then, many continue to share their personal stories of regained health, believing that chlorine dioxide has given them a second chance at life.
