Re: Simple Experiment to crudely test whether chlorine dioxide precipitates iron from blood

Chlorine Dioxide will bleach the color from most things , so this experiment wont work. I left out a AMMS with apple cider one night and the juice was bleached almost clear by morning.

i watched org apple juice poured into AMMS lose most of it's color in a matter of seconds...but i drank it so i don't know if it would've been much lighter after awhile.

i decided i like the organic concord grape juice lots better so haven't used the apple juice since.

Levi,

Let say that the hipothisis of iron stripping is true. Would it be

true then that those who have to take it on a long term basis could

fix the problem by supplementing with iron?

Iron is a dangerous supplement.

Either be under a doctors care with blood tests, or only use food

(beef liver).
