Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 ANy comments about these possible ways to use MMS? Adding activated, or perhaps unactivated, MMS to the water tank used for hydroponic growing. I asume there is no reason to suppose the MMS would adversely affect the growing of the vegetables. It would also seem a good idea to add MMS to the water used for the moistening of potting mixes used for germinating seeds. I wonder what dilution of MMS in water would be optimum for preventing the formation of algae in any kind of water tank... Using a dilute mixture of activated MMS in a theatrical smoke machine to generate a mold-killing fog for rooms where mildew, etc is a problem. In Japan, where I live, this includes just about everywhere during the rainy season. Since I do have a smoke machine, I'm thinking about what formula to use for trying this. soaking a piece of tissue in activated MMS and placing it on the top of the contents of a plastic drum of, for instance, wheat, rice or beans before sealing for longterm storage. (Given the virtual certainty of food shortages in the near future, stockpiling such items is clearly advisable.) making a pair of spray-top bottles of MMS and citric acid solution (in concentrations that will result in equal amounts of each solution adding up to the 5:1 mix customary for activation, i.e. 1:2 for the MMS and 1:5 for the citric acid. These could be carried about and used for everything from spraying a bit into a ziploc bag of leftovers before putting it in the fridge to spraying doorknobs, facemasks and the like in the event of the bird flu. AN important question: as you probably know, canning of food requires that the mason jars or whatever be subjected to 115 degreesF for several minutes to ensure killing of bacteria. SInce this is above the boiling point of water, safe canning requires the use of a pressure cooker. However, would it not be just as effective to add activated MMS to the food in the jar , and then vacuum seal it by immersing the almost tight jar in simple boiling water long enough to ensure a vacuum after tightening and cooling? If so, safe canning would come within the reach of anybody at all, without the need for purchase of heavy duty pressure cookers. Much larger batches could also be made at any one time, if all that's needed is boiling water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
