Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hi Tom, Really appreciate your generously shared knowledge & valued input with this Group. I use a water flask that neatly fits into my bumbag when I go out & about. It holds 475 mls of water. What number of unactivated drops of MMS would I need to add to the bottle to make a 5% solution? From previous posts it would seem that there is no need to activate it with citric acid, lemon juice etc. when used this way. (Is this correct?) Whilst the strength of the MMS is not noted on the bottle I'm assuming that it's either 28% or 22.4% sodium chlorite. I'm using it as a 'sippy' maintenance regimen through the day & refilled for use during the night. Thank you in advance, Rob [ ] Re: HCG diet Hello Rod,Chlorine dioxide solutions are more effective if they aren't neutralized by food or waste in the GI tract. When you eat and then drink some of the solution, you will disinfect all the food you just ate and then if there is any chlorine dioxide left over, it may then enter your body.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hello Rob, First of all, I think we need to clear up what appears to me as some confusion... You don't drink the 5% solution. It is way to strong to drink. It is just much safer to handle than the 22.4% solution. You use the 5% solution in a way similar to how you use the 22.4% solution. Next we should discuss measurements. Drops are great for adding very small amounts of a chemical. However, it is very difficult to form uniform drops. It takes a lot of practice. The number of drops to measure 1 ml varies, and is dependent upon the specific gravity of the chemical you are using and the size of the dropper you are using. When you need 1 or 2 drops, drops are a great way to go. When you need more than about 2 drops you will have better results by using milliliter measurements. When you make measurements using a syringe or measuring spoon, you end up with more consistent results. These chemicals are so strong that a small variation can make a significant difference in the strength of the solution. MMS is 28% sodium chlorite by weight, but the powder used to make this solution is only 80% pure. This means that we actually end up with a 22.4% sodium chlorite solution (80% of 28% = 22.4%). This is an industrial strength chemical that is dangerous to handle, so I recommend people dilute it down to a much safer to handle 5% solution. You can do everything with the 5% solution that you can with the 22.4% solution, and it is much safer to handle. OK, now we can get to your question... I would suggest that you first mix up a 5% sodium chlorite solution and store it in another bottle. If you have such a bottle (like an old MMS bottle or an old H2O2 bottle) let me know what size it is and I will give you the numbers needed to mix up the 5% solution. Now, back to your water bottle. To make a sipping solution you would add 1.3 (this is slightly more than 1/4 teaspoon, but not quite a heaping 1/4 teaspoon) ml of 5% sodium chlorite and then fill the water bottle up. Now, if you really want to know how to mix up 475 ml of 5% sodium chlorite, let me know, but this is not to be used straight.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi Tom, I thought I was right up there with you on these measurements until you start referring to “heaping” teaspoon measurements for what I thought was a liquid measurement… or is this only an analogy?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello Dan, Sorry for the confusion. 1/4 teaspoon holds 1.25 ml of liquid. We wanted 1.3 ml, so this is a little more than 1/4 teaspoon. You have to " heap " it up a little if you are using measuring spoons. If you have a syringe simply use 1.3 ml.
