I agree with this advice.

There is plenty of 'mainstream' research regaridng chlorine dioxide -

the active 'ingredient' of MMS.

Surely you aren't suggesting that validation by 'mainstream research' is

required before any given therapy can be shown to work?

The anecdotal evidence of the efficacy of MMS (1 and 2) is overwhelming.

There is contrary opinion, althouigh I don't necessaily accept it as

valid either.

Personally, I think the answer is somewhere in the middle...

Google reveals there is plenty of debate on this subject. At a minimum,

it is safe to say that not *all* free radicals 'age us' - ozone, for one

(see below).

This is still speculatory/theoretical as well. I think it is valid to a

point, but not in all cases.

Horsepuckey. From 'The Story of Ozone':

" OZONE AND FREE RADICALS - W. Forest

Free radicals are atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons, an

unavoidable occurrence in bio-chemical reactions. There could be no life

without free radicals. However, some free radicals are dangerous. The

properties of free radicals vary widely. Some are toxic to all living

cells, others only to the most vulnerable cells. Singlet oxygen 01 is a

highly reactive free radical that acts as a scavenger of other free

radicals. The oxygen reacts with them to render them harmless, thereby

protecting cells from damage. Healthy cells have an enzyme coating

around them that protects them from the action of oxygen. These enzymes

are catalase, reductase, super-oxide dismutase and glutathione

peroxidase. Disease microbes have no such coating and are therefore

destroyed by oxygen. By this elegant mechanism, ozone distinguishes

between friends and foes and attacks only invading pathogens, and cells

that have been damaged and infected, thereby losing their coating. The

so-called anti-oxidant enzymes are gaining in popularity as nutritional

supplements. They have been shown to help protect marginally healthy

cells from general free radical damage. Superoxide dismutase in

particular has helped reduce a variety of disorders; normally it is

among the body's most plentiful enzymes. However, prolonged use of

supplements could tend to atrophy the internal biochemical processes

that would normally be making those enzymes. In any case, it does not

address the cause of the problem, which is oxygen starvation at the

cellular level, which causes the cells to be too weak to make the

enzymes that protect them. "

But of course...

An excellent article on how oxygen and anti-oxidants are used in the body:
