Chlorine dioxide is a mixture of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) activated with citric acid. Jim Humble nicknamed the solution MMS when sodium chlorite (NaClO2) was activated with citric acid. Since chlorine dioxide eliminates bacteria, fungi, viruses, and small parasites in a wide pH range, it is known as the best disinfectant. It has been used to disinfect drinking water for 80 years without causing problems. In industrial settings, it is widely used for disinfection.
In his book, The Master Mineral Solution of the Third Millennium, Jim Humble purports that chlorine dioxide (MMS) works well for many illnesses, but it can cause diarrhea as a side effect and has a bad taste. Chlorine dioxide (CD), or ClO2, is the result of an acid reaction with sodium chlorite (NaClO2) which makes chlorine dioxide. The resulting CD is very soluble in water and evaporates at 11°C or 33.8 F.
Why is it so effective against pathogens?
In a gas state, chlorine dioxide will be found in a yellowish / green color. It consists of two oxygen atoms and one chlorine atom. At normal temperatures and pressures, it is water soluble, and has a chlorine-like odor. It is denser than air & water soluble at normal temperatures & pressures.
Chlorine dioxide has the unique ability to both donate and receive electrons due to its chemical makeup. In other words, chlorine dioxide is an electron donor, so it can readily accept electrons.
This gas has high solubility in water and, when dissolved, will break down to release free oxygen, similar to ozone or hydrogen peroxide. It is noteworthy that oxygen-based compounds tend to be stronger reactants and oxidizers compared to chlorine-based ones. The combination of oxygen and chlorine in a single molecule makes it extremely effective at eliminating waterborne pathogens, making it a widely used water sanitizer around the world.
Due to its effectiveness as a sterilizing agent and cost-effectiveness, this compound is widely utilized across various industries including healthcare and food service. It has been officially registered by the Environmental Protection Agency for these specific uses. Beyond its industrial applications, a stabilized form of ClO2 is also commonly used by outdoor enthusiasts for purifying drinking water while hiking or camping. These portable chlorine dioxide water purification drops can be conveniently purchased at popular camping supply stores such as REI or online retailers like Amazon.
To deal with extreme contaminants like Anthrax and Ebola, the military and EPA use chlorine dioxide at high dosages, and even the USDA and FDA register chlorine dioxide for decontamination.
Chlorine Dioxide for Health Concerns
Humble’s Protocol 1000 is one of the more well-known (but intense) regimens, whereby three drops of MMS (3+3) are taken in four to eight ounces of water every hour for eight to twelve hours. This type of protocol allows the compound to do more work on the pathogens in the body by allowing a small amount of chlorine dioxide to stay in the blood for a long period of time. Even if it were taken more often, it wouldn’t last as long in the body if it were only taken twice a day. A maintenance dose is considered three to five drops in four to eight ounces of water once in the morning and once in the evening for preventative maintenance.
What are the health risks associated with chlorine dioxide?
When using ClO2, one must be aware of the Herxheimer Effect, named after the doctor who first studied it, which suggests that if the body detoxifies too fast, it can cause nausea, stomach distress, or diarrhea. As such, when detoxing the body, it’s best to start slowly.
Chlorine dioxide aids in the removal of heavy metals from the body. Chlorine dioxide can also help to mitigate the damages suffered by other problems, such as malfunctioning thyroid glands, endocrine glands, nervous systems, brains, and livers caused by metal buildup.
Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) Alternative Formulation
Chlorine dioxide or MMS can be used to make Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS). In CDS, there is no sodium chlorite (NaClO2) in the solution and its pH is neutral. The solution is a concentrated aqueous solution containing 0,3% (3000ppm) of chlorine dioxide gas and requires no mixing or activation period (wait time) prior to use.
This CDS 3000 parts per million concentration is made via distillation process. CDS has only chlorine dioxide gas suspended in solution that is bubbled by the water that is pH neutral and has many advantages, as it does not usually cause irritation or side effects like MMS or CD. There is a do it yourself process whereby one can make CDS 3000 at home for DIY enthusiasts.
Topical Application of Chlorine Dioxide
Diluted chlorine dioxide solutions are used to treat surface wounds and burns by disseminating via spray bottle. There is a manner by which chlorine dioxide can be rubbed onto the skin to deliver directly to a specific location inside the body without puncturing the skin by mixing it with DMSO. According to DMSO for Humans author Herb Roi Richards, Ph.D., mixing chlorine dioxide with DMSO can deliver the CD directly to the targeted area with surgical precision without breaking the skin, not even a puncture wound.
DMSO has the unique ability to combine with the solution fully and carry it through the protective layers of skin, through tissue, muscle, and bone to deliver it to where it is needed, making chlorine dioxide and DMSO a winning combination.
Treating Burns with Chlorine Dioxide
Author Paris Humble and promoter of the use of chlorine dioxide as a healing agent has used it to recover from severe burns. By applying it to a burn wound, it neutralizes by products that can be generated immediately or within a few hours of application. The solution should not be left on a wound for more than five minutes when treating injuries, but if the pain doesn’t subside, it can be used in short bursts without exceeding five minutes if the pain persists.
Paris Humble’s Book on Chlorine Dioxide’s Health Benefits
Continuing the case of researching and educating others about the possibilities of using chlorine dioxide or MMS as a means of healing oneself holistically, Jim Humble’s daughter authored a book in 2022 called, “Healthy Alternative Chlorine Dioxide Uses Non-pharmacological Health Restoration,” highly regarded by MMS practitioners. Her father’s work is carried on by Paris Humble in this book.
