Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hello Shari, Welcome to the wonderful world of science... Ratios need to be read carefully. It may help to add them together and then visualize how much of each chemical ends up in the final mix. Jim Humble calls for adding 5 parts of 10% citric acid for every 1 part sodium chlorite. This can be written as 5:1 if you are talking from the acid perspective, or it could be written as 1:5 if you are talking from the sodium chlorite perspective. In both cases you have a total of 6 parts, 5 of them will be citric acid and the remaining 1 part is sodium chlorite. By the way, a more effective solution can be made by using a 1:1 ratio between 10% citric acid and sodium chlorite. In this case you have a total of 2 parts with 1 part 10% citric acid and the other part sodium chlorite. I can not tell you how many times I have screwed up a ratio during a test because it was presented differently from what I was used to. I have learned to pay close attention to ratios and make sure I understand them before proceeding with the test.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi Tom, I don't know if I'm hijacking this thread but it is on the same topic i.e. ratios. The citric acid I have, came with the MMS which I bought. I am unsure of where I got it from as it is quite a while since I purchased it. They are both in little blue bottles--if this has any relevance. I think it came from a site which must have been associated with Jim Humble as that is what I was reading at the time. Anyway, it does not say it is 10% on the bottle--just citric acid. Do you think this would be 10% and if so can I just put in 1 drop of this instead of 5? Can you tell me also, what the significance of putting 5 drops in as opposed to 1 is? Does the amount of citric acid make a difference to the action of the MMS and what would be the difference if I put in 1 drop instead of 5? Also, is it the same amount of water i.e half a glass? Thank you in advance. dee On 31 Jul 2010, at 20:42, silverfox_science wrote: > > Hello Shari, > > Welcome to the wonderful world of science... > > Ratios need to be read carefully.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hello Dee, You most likely have 10% citric acid. However, since it is not labeled properly I would suggest throwing it out and mixing up a new batch that you know the strength of, and then proper labeling the bottle. Citric acid crystals can often be found in the bulk food section of a grocery store. When mixing the 10% solution you put 1 gram of citric acid crystals in a glass and add 9 grams of water and then stir to mix. To make a larger amount simply multiply the amounts and keep them in the proper ratio. Another way to be sure of what you have is to simply purchase a new bottle of citric acid and ask the supplier to properly label the bottle. Another option, if you have anyone near by that also has 10% citric acid, is to run a taste test and do a side by side comparison of what you have and what they have. Put a few drops into a glass of water and see if there is any difference between your citric acid and their known concentration of citric acid. The most effective activation of sodium chlorite using 10% citric acid is in a 1:1 ratio. When you add more acid, you pollute the solution with excess acid. The people who process food insist upon something that is effective and they like to reduce their costs as much as possible. Extensive research has found that the 1:1 ratio meets both of those criteria. Citric acid also has some disinfecting properties. If you want to explore those, simply put some into a glass of water and drink it down at a separate time. The amount of water you add is critical to the concentration of the solution. The concentration is measured in parts per million (PPM). Oxidizers, like chlorine dioxide, are tested to determine the concentration and contact time needed to kill pathogens. For example, if you want to use chlorine dioxide to kill Campylobacter on a kitchen counter you would mix up a 15 PPM free chlorine dioxide solution and leave it in contact with the pathogen for 1 minute. The same concentration will also kill off E coli. Now, to mix up this concentration using the MMS products you would put 19 drops of MMS in a glass, add 19 drops of citric acid, swirl to mix and let it activate for 10 minutes. This would be added to 1 liter of water to end up with a solution that is strong enough to kill off Campylobacter and E coli in a minute. If you change the acid used for activation to HCl, the same liter of water would only need 2 drops of MMS activated with 2 drops of 27% HCl. This would yield the same concentration of free chlorine dioxide. Unfortunately, there are no studies or testing that show the amount of these chemicals that are necessary to kill pathogens inside the body. About all we know is that if you take too high a concentration you will suffer mild poisoning that shows up as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. I don't like to hear stories of people making themselves sick by taking high concentrations of these chemicals. I tell people that if they want to be a part of this vast experiment they should put the chemicals in a liter water bottle and sip it throughout the day. This will reduce the concentration to a level where it is better tolerated. I think there are better ways to clean out your colon than taking a high dose of MMS but if none of those products are available chlorous acid, while not very gentle, will clean you out. In Africa, Jim Humble claims that MMS alone gets the job done. In the rest of the world this does not seem to be the case, so people add various other treatments and sometimes some combination works. I always recommend that people keep a journal to document their progress and what they are using. You may want to start with only MMS and see what happens, then do some research on what others are using and add those in as needed. Caution... Oxidizers cause oxidative damage. Chlorine dioxide and chlorite attack the blood cells at higher concentrations. You may want to consider having a blood test done before starting so you have a base line for comparison. If that is out of the question, then listen to your body. You should begin to feel better almost immediately. At that point, I think you should stop taking MMS and move on to rebuilding your immune system and your body. Continuing oxidation beyond that point could be where the oxidative stress begins. The body is very adaptive so you can endure a lot of stress, but you won't be functioning at optimum health. Listen to your body. If you find yourself after you stop using MMS beat back down into the dirt, start back up for a couple of days to get your body back on tract. I think this pulsing use is far more effective at bringing your body back up to optimum health.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks, Tom, for clarifying. I had first thought that you were probably using a different format (I'm in USA, I gather you are in UK)...but on more than one occasion you wrote the ratio out in words saying 5 parts of the sodium chlorite to 1 part citric activator whereas I had understood Humble to say just the opposite....so I wanted to give you the chance to clear this up.I now understand that you DID mean 1 part sodium chlorite to 5 parts citric activator -- regardless of which came first in the ratio!I'm sure people will find your clarification helpful. I know I do. Thanks again....Shari ^i^> >> > Greetings Tom -- I have been receiving daily updates of this forum for a> > couple of months now and have a question.> > > > I notice that you consistently state that Humble recommends a 5:1 ratio> > (5 parts Citric activator to 1 part MMS) when in fact, Humble> > consistently recommends just the opposite (1 part MMS to 5 parts 10%> > Citric activator).> > > > Am I backwards, or are you?

The only problem with this recommendation is you don't know what the citric acid was made from, and many people have problems with citric acid made from corn. Anyone have a reliable source of citric acid not made from corn( what is it made from when not made from corn again?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
