Hello Leslie, Chlorine dioxide works great, and has been extensively tested outside the body.
There is some evidence, with chickens, that it is capable of reducing pathogens in the GI tract, but this was not a long term test. The chickens were butchered after the test in order to measure the amount of pathogens left. There is no data from human testing, except for a 12 week study on chlorine dioxide for water purification. MMS involves concentrations of chlorine dioxide approaching 1000 PPM. Water purification uses concentrations in the 2 - 4 PPM range. Chlorine dioxide and chlorous acid are oxidizers. The short term use does not seem to be lethal, but longer term use may subject the body to unnecessary oxidative stress. Most people are unable to properly monitor their bodies for oxidative stress, so any longer term adverse effects involved with the higher concentrations are not known. Chlorine dioxide kills by having a concentration in contact with the pathogen for a period of time. Chlorine dioxide is immeasurable inside the body, so it is difficult to assess what the concentration actually is. IF you were able to get a concentration of it in contact with a pathogen for a period of time, it would probably kill cancer... but that is a big IF. Anecdotally, it appears that MMS works if you self diagnose, or if you are looking for a general better felling of well being. Under the scrutiny of medical professional diagnosis and laboratory testing, it is not very effective at all. So far, I have not been able to document or verify the reports of the thousands that have supposedly been cured of malaria in Africa. It is estimated that some two million people are trying MMS. The placebo effect should have some 300,000 - 400,000 cures, but the reports are not supporting anything close to that. I am inclined to speculate that if your ailment can be cured by a general GI flush, MMS can help. Also, if increasing the oxidation inside your body is beneficial, then it can help. It can be formulated into an excellent mouthwash and as a general disinfectant and sanitizer for use around the house and on cuts and scrapes, it is excellent. I have replaced my use of hydrogen peroxide with chlorine dioxide and find that it works much better. It also works great for water purification and odor elimination and it keeps mold and mildew from coming back after it has been remeadiated. Cancer is a tough one. The believable cases I am aware of found that MMS was not effective and the people passed away in spite of aggressive treatment. Skin cancer has seem some excellent results, as have skin MRSP infections. However, in these cases it is easier to get the chlorine dioxide in actual contact with the pathogen. I did run across a study that showed that blood oxygen levels increased in anemic people who took small quantities of stabilized oxygen. Stabilized oxygen is a low concentration sodium chlorite product, and I believe that a 3% solution was used in this study. I have had excellent results in using low concentrations of sodium chlorite in drinking water, and this may turn out to be extremely useful. However, increased oxygen in the blood is also increased oxidation. It is my perception that there are more people flooding to colloidal silver than to MMS, and they seem to be reporting more consistent and believable results. MMS uses a dangerous to handle concentration of sodium chlorite, and the MMS protocol is flawed. If you purchase some MMS, you would be a lot safer to dilute it down to a 5% solution and use that. The MMS protocol calls for using 5 times the activator when mixing. Industry has found that when using 10% citric acid the most effective activation is done with a 1:1 ratio of acid to sodium chlorite. I think the oral hygiene benefit from using a sodium chlorite solution is reason enough to justify the purchase. Colloidal silver may offer some benefit as a mouthwash, but I think chlorine dioxide does it better. The caution is both cases is knowing how much to use. Give me a petri dish of cancer cells and I will have no problem killing them using chlorine dioxide. However, once the cancer cells have been introduced into the body, I am lost.
