Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Canine Parvovirus on a hard surface has a CT of 5000 for a complete kill using chlorine dioxide. This means that if you have a concentration of 500 PPM, it needs to be in contact with the pathogen for 10 minutes. If that high a concentration can't be tolerated, you can drop back to a concentration of 100 PPM, but then the contact time needs to be lengthened to 50 minutes. By the way, this is one of the most difficult viruses for chlorine dioxide to kill. One reason success is difficult is because 500 PPM free chlorine dioxide is not well tolerated. For example, the sanitizing solution I talk so much about only has 60 PPM. It seems possible that lower concentrations given more frequently may also work, but that has not been well studied. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tom, are we talking SC or ASC?

Evening , No I do not take it daily. I personally would not take mms to ward off disease bc it’s not my particular intention to be in the warding off stance. I have taken it and would take it in the future to gently stimulate the production of new red blood cells which is what oxidative therapy can do. My motto is stimulate not annihilate. When I did daily for awhile I used this protocol… 1/8 teaspoon UNactivated SC (28%) in gallon of water, drank thru out the day. sometimes it was the only water I drank, sometimes drank plain water and switched around. A friend who does foster pups had some arrivals with various skin conditions, served the above recipe and noticed a big diff in a few days (some over night). After a week Tom advised cutting that dosage in half for long term maintenance. Apparently the low dosage was just enough to produce healthy red blood cells. We think we saw the results faster because pups metabolize at a diff rate than humans. rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hello Rose, We are talking about free chlorine dioxide. If the virus is in the gut, then chlorine dioxide won't do the job because it won't last long enough to get there. This is where, I think, chlorous acid comes in. Unfortunately, chlorous acid dose not kill off, but stabilizes to eliminate growth. I am not sure if that was clear, so let's try it this way. Acidified sodium chlorite is used to keep bacteria from forming on food products. Chickens have salmonella inside them. When they are butchered, the salmonella infects the meat. If not cleaned up, it makes people sick. After butchering, the carcass is washed off, then dipped or sprayed with a chilled solution of ASC. Any remaining salmonella is kept from growing to an amount that would cause sickness. Since ASC is somewhat like timed release, it holds the salmonella colonies in check until you cook the chicken and kill them. Once again let's look at the sanitizing solution. To kill Parvovirus you need 500 PPM free chlorine dioxide for 10 minutes. The sanitizing solution has about 60 PPM free chlorine dioxide. While this is not strong enough to kill it, it is strong enough to hold it in check. If the humidity is just right, it may kill it off if the solution doesn't dry out before 84 minutes have passed. However, that is a real long shot. This is why you first need to clean before disinfecting. The most effective use of chlorine dioxide in a bath is to use it alone. When you add other things to the bath, this gives the chlorine dioxide something to react with that is not the pathogen. This is the same thing that happens when people get up to a very strong dose of MMS and they have an adverse reaction to the taste. By adding juice to the mixture, turbidity is added and the chlorine dioxide reacts with the turbid particles and this removes them from the dose. With the concentration of chlorine dioxide reduced, the dose is easier to take. In the case of the bath, the concentration of chlorine dioxide is kept low to avoid respiratory irritation, so you can't afford to loose the chlorine dioxide by adding other things to the water. If you want to take an herb bath, take an herb bath. If you want to take a chlorine dioxide bath, take a chlorine dioxide bath. If you want to take a chlorine dioxide and herb bath, take an herb bath...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 K, thanks tom. Parvaid is not for the bath however. It is oral administered herbs. However I 'get it' that if you use herbs and ASC it reduces the dosage. So...ASC will not work on parvo. The chlorus acid tho could keep the virus from multiplying if I read correctly. But it seems we don't know how long chlorus stays in the system right? It does make it to the gut right? That brings me to the 500 ppm silver products that are around. Since pup turning blue is not a consideration do you know what ppm would be effective on parvo? Just thought it might have come up on the CS list. What about Campylobacteriosis...any test on that? Got a chuckle on this... If you want to take an herb bath, take an herb bath. If you want to take a chlorine dioxide bath, take a chlorine dioxide bath. If you want to take a chlorine dioxide and herb bath, take an herb bath... Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 What about ASC as rectal implant...like would that just be too intense. Then again the parvo virus is pretty intense. If it is activated then could it maybe since it is a gas take just a little at high ppm to be effective? As a gas could it kind of fumigate the colon? There is a new virus circulating now seen here and in Au that looks like but is not parvo is the reason we are all asking so many questions.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hello Rose, That is where more testing is needed. Chlorine dioxide breaks down into chlorite in the body. Studies have shown that the half life of chlorite in animals is a little over 40 hours, and it reaches all of the organs including passing through the blood brain barrier. Chlorite also oxidizes, so there is a possibility that chlorite is what is causing the positive results. Chlorite has been well studied, and higher concentrations and long term exposure are not healthy. Chlorous acid may be the " wild card, " but that has not been studied. Campylobacter has a CT of 15 on hard surfaces. It is easy to kill off. Tom --- In , " palulukon " <palulukon@...> wrote: > > K, thanks tom. > > Parvaid is not for the bath however.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hello Rose, That sounds like a reasonable place to start, but keep in mind that activated sodium chlorite can also penetrate mucous layers. You would have to pay attention to the strength of the solution. In addition, it makes sense to treat the other end too. Perhaps some sodium chlorite activated with water... With a virus that is air borne, you may want to take a look at adding trace amounts of chlorine dioxide to the air. If the animals are outside, this won't be effective, but if they go into a sheltered area to sleep, that is different. The key to this is to keep the concentration low. Find someone with a sensitive nose, if your sense of smell is off, and have them check the area. The ideal concentration seems to be about half the amount that is the threshold of detection. At any rate, the idea is that if you can detect it, it is too strong. We used this last winter with several elderly people who were very concerned with contracting the swine flu, or any other flu for that matter. It was a great success, no one caught a cold or the flu. While I am hesitant to credit chlorine dioxide with the success because we were also educating and helping to make sure they had balanced meals, if we go another winter with the same record, it will become significant.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Campylobacter has a CT of 15 on hard surfaces. It is easy to kill off. Ah, this is something that I've been trying to solve for a few years...even posted to the CS list, silver pets, dmso list...never a reply. For three months we had to haul water waiting till we found someone that actually knew how to deal with a collapsed well. In aprox 200 gallons of spring water I added homemade CD one gallon, ppm, what 15 to 20. Campy hit this area hard...vets didn't even know what it was, called it mystery parvo. I had an alert email from one of my list so when it hit here I knew what it was. Should have spread thru here like a wildfire but we only lost 2 kitties within minutes of each other. Two dogs got really sick for 24 hours, one of the oldest and a small 5 week old pup we found on the hwy. we used cs, parvaid, vibractra plus (ambertech who makes parvaid). and I got mildly sick ourselves bc we were in direct contact nonstop tending to the discharge from the 2 dogs. That was it. The only thing that could have made a diff is we were all drinking water treated so minutely...but it worked. My vet fully expected we would have them dropping like flies bc campy goes for the weak and elderly...and we are a special needs sanctuary so that is the bulk of our population. rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hello Rose, The plain English version is that it takes a high concentration to be effective. Outside the body this is not an issue, but inside the body you have to consider the effects of oxidative damage on other cells in the body. A " wild guess " starting place may be to use 1 ml of 5% sodium chlorite activated with 1 ml of 10% citric acid for 10 minutes and then dilute to make a total of 500 ml. This will give you a solution with 60 PPM available chlorine dioxide and about 6 PPM of that as free chlorine dioxide.

Tom K, but how would this do any good if I need 60PPM free chlorine dioxide as per… To kill Parvovirus you need 500 PPM free chlorine dioxide for 10 minutes. The sanitizing solution has about 60 PPM free chlorine dioxide. While this is not strong enough to kill it, it is strong enough to hold it in check. If the humidity is just right, it may kill it off if the solution doesn't dry out before 84 minutes have passed.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hello Rose, To understand this you will have to endure some math, and learn some terminology. Microbiology looks at the amount of pathogens in a standard sample before and after treatment. A microscope can be used to get a total count in the sample, but it includes living and dead microorganisms. With bacteria and fungus, colony forming units are counted. CFU looks at how many viable pathogens are in the sample. In food for human consumption, the limit is 1000000 CFU/ml or 1000000 CFU/g. When the tests show under a million CFU, the food is eatable when properly cooked. If the count exceeds a million, people get sick because normal cooking does not destroy all the pathogens. When you are trying to disinfect something, you are trying to lower the amount of pathogens to a level that can be tolerated. In contrast, if you want to sanitize something, you want to eliminate all of the pathogens. Chlorine dioxide testing is often looking at totally eliminating pathogens. Chlorous acid testing, what little there is, generally shows a slight reduction, but the goal is to keep the numbers from growing larger. In technical terms, a bioCIDE kills everything where a bioSTAT tries to stabilize the situation and prevent the numbers of pathogens from increasing. Let's look at fresh shrimp. When shrimp are pulled from the water, there is no odor associated with them. However, as they sit bacteria forms and you end up with a fishy odor. The higher the concentration of bacteria, the stronger the odor. Now, let's make up some numbers to see how this works. Let's say we have some " stinking " shrimp that are tested to have 10 million CFU/g. If we treat them with a chlorous acid solution, about the best we can hope for is a 1 log reduction. A 1 log reduction means that 90% of the pathogens are killed. This would bring the CFU level down to 1 million, which is the upper limit for being acceptable. While " acceptable, " you still have to remember that there are 1 million pathogens per gram still there. The CT values indicate what is needed to entirely kill or what is needed to produce a 5 - 6 log kill. If we start with 10000000, a 6 log kill means that there are only 10 left. We have reduced the pathogens from 10 million to 10. To kill Parvovirus you need 500 PPM free chlorine dioxide for 10 minutes. If chlorous acid is effective, it has the possibility of knocking the Parvovirus down by a 1 log reduction or 90%. Since Parvovirus is so difficult to kill, the chlorous acid may not be able to achieve a full log reduction, but it may be able to reduce it to a point where the bodies immune system can do the rest. It would be interesting to see some test results on this. I hope this helps to gain perspective on how these chemicals work. It may seem that 90% is a huge reduction, but it is my understanding that some pathogens only need very small numbers to make someone sick. A friend had an operation and developed a staph infection. The surgeon blamed it on a single staph germ that survived the sanitizing process in the operating room, or survived the scrub process the surgeon utilizes prior to operating. The infection was caught early and quickly taken care of, but in this case 1 remaining was too many. Sodium chlorite is referred to as stabilized chlorine dioxide. When you mix a solution, you have available chlorine dioxide in relation to the amount of sodium chlorite and dilution you use. This gives you an idea of the strength of the solution. When the solution is activated, some of the available chlorine dioxide is released as free chlorine dioxide. Under ideal conditions, and given enough time, all of the available chlorine dioxide can be eventually released as free chlorine dioxide.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 500ppm silver is silver protein and that is what made the " blue man " blue. He calls it CS but it is silver protein. Ah thanks ...hey, didn't realize you were on this list too...*wave* I'm thinking, wondering, if it might be just the thing to have on hand for parvo. Maybe Tom can let us know what ppm silver is needed for treating parvo. Who sells it, do you know? Xxx rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hello Rose, To understand this you will have to endure some math, and learn some terminology. This is just so wonderful Tom. I've read this twice and going to reread today again as many times as it takes to gel. It is gel-ing btw. I love learning like this. In the 'past' when confronted with ie parvo it was use a protocol, it worked, thought we had found 'the answer', next time nada. Scratch head, start over. But it was certainly like walking around in the dark. Now you are opening up a whole new arena of 'seeing' how things work and with that 'seeing' we can know what we are working with and what might be the wisest choices. I LOVE learning how to be effective. Can't thank you enough Xxx rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
