Sinus issues & chlorine dioxide (attn: Ken)

[Guest guest]

Dear Ken,

I've decided to try chlorine dioxide, which you've mentioned a few

times in your posts, so I ordered some from REI. The instructions for

using it to purify water say to mix it up and then wait 4 hours. I'm

thinking that if I want to take advantage of the anti-biofilm effect,

I should use it right away and not wait 4 hours. Does this sound right

to you?

[Moderator: Once the tablet is FULLY dissolved, just stir the solution and you

should be good. The 4hrs is recommended so it has time to kill any bacteria in

the water (does not apply in this case). Please note that it should be kept in

the DARK

" When chlorine dioxide is photo-oxidized by sunlight, it falls apart. "

which points out

" It is a very strong oxidizer and it effectively kills pathogenic microorganisms

such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. It also prevents and removes bio film. As a

disinfectant and pesticide it is mainly used in liquid form. Chlorine dioxide

can also be used against anthrax, because it is effective against spore-forming

bacteria. "

or even rinsing the sinus with Chlorine Dioxide solution (4ppm

concentration) should (in theory) break down the biolfilm]
