Re: MMS in the bath

[Guest guest]

Hello Beth,

A good target to shoot for is to have about 10 PPM free chlorine dioxide in your

bath water before you get in.

To neutralize whatever is left after the bath you can use Fruit Fresh, which is

mostly vitamin C.

Hello Beth,

PPM is simply a dilution problem.

For example, MMS is 22.4% sodium chlorite which gives you 224000 PPM. If you

dilute 1 ml of MMS in 1 liter of water you have a concentration of 224 PPM.

You need to measure the amount of water you use for a bath and then you can

figure out how to come up with a 10 PPM concentration.

Keep in mind that the goal is to have 10 PPM free chlorine dioxide. Since the

MMS protocol calls for using citric acid as the activator, only about 10% of the

available chlorine dioxide is released as free chlorine dioxide. In the case of

the bath it would be much better to use a different acid to release all of the

chlorine dioxide from the available chlorine dioxide. The problem with this is

that the high concentration of sodium chlorite in MMS produces a rather

explosive reaction when it is mixed with a strong acid.

Let's look at a tub that holds 70 liters of water for a bath. Using a strong

acid like HCl, you would need 5 ml of MMS. However, since the citric acid only

releases around 10% of the available chlorine dioxide as free chlorine dioxide,

when you use citric acid you would need to use 50 ml of MMS to reach the same

target of 10 PPM free chlorine dioxide.

After the bath you have to treat the water with an antioxidant to use up the

rest of the chlorine dioxide to keep it from reaching your septic tank. In the

case where you use 5 ml of MMS, you would need to add around 2000 mg of ascorbic

acid to neutralize the bath. In the case of using 50 ml of MMS and citric acid

to activate you now have to use 20000 mg of ascorbic acid to neutralize the bath

water.

I recommend using 5% sodium chlorite activated with 6% HCl for baths.

If you can measure the amount of water you use in a typical bath, and what acid

you want to use for activation along with the strength of that acid, I can help

you with the quantities of chemicals needed to set up the bath and neutralize

it.

Hi Beth,

I've been using MMS in my bath since July this year. I started by counting

drops but quickly started to use a small 1/2 teaspoon ceramic measure--I put 3

of these into a glass and add 3 " spoons " of citric acid--let activate for 25

seconds and add water. I then add this glass to the tub as it is filling--I

have a large jacuzzi and a septic tank. I stay in the bath for at least twenty

minutes so I am sure that there is nothing being activated in the septic

tank---and there is no chlorine dioxide smell left either.

Hope this helps.

Hi again

I would like to use mms in the bath. If anyone

has any experience with that I would like to hear about it.

Im also wondering how to neutralize the water in the bath

before pulling the plug.

I heard it might not be good if on a septic system.

Septic tanks need bacteria.

Or will the mms be dispersed by the time your bath is over??
