Hi Tom, and friends, yes that includes you rmutu212 and r4000.
To answer your questions,

Tom, one of my reasons for not worrying to much about ClO2 in the blood, is I don't believe Humble's claim that the ClO2 is picked up by the blood stream. Your investigations are correct about it passing through. Hence the reason people notice a difference in urine color. So bearing that in mind Miracle-Mineral-Supplement protocol users are lucky because the following statement is fact:
=====================================================================================
Exposure to chlorine dioxide, you might experience shortness of breath and other respiratory problems because of damage to the substances in blood that carry oxygen throughout the body.
=====================================================================================
Both chlorine dioxide and chlorite act quickly when they enter the body. Chlorine dioxide quickly changes to chloride ions, which are broken down further into chloride ions. The body uses these ions for many normal purposes. Some chloride ions leave the body within hours or days, mainly in the urine. Most chlorite that is not broken down also leaves the body in the urine within a few days after exposure to chlorine dioxide or chlorite.

Tom, without others reading that this is an argument, go to the following site and read with interest

NPI rank
Approximately 400 substances were considered for inclusion on the NPI reporting list. A ranking and total hazard score was given based on health and environmental hazards and human and environmental exposure to the substance.

Chlorine dioxide was ranked as 41out of 400. The total hazard score taking into account both human health and environmental criteria is 3.3.

On a health hazard rating of 0 - 3 chlorine dioxide registers 1.8. A score of 3 represents a very high hazard to health, 2 represents a medium hazard and 1 is harmful to health.

On an environmental rating of 0 - 3 chlorine dioxide registers 1.5. A score of 3 represents a very high hazard to the environment and 0 a negligible hazard.

Factors taken into account to obtain this ranking and these scores include the extent of the material's toxic or poisonous nature and/or its lack of toxicity, and the measure of its ability to remain active in the environment and whether it accumulates in living organisms. It does not take into account exposure to the substance. Environmental exposure is reflected in the NPI rank for this substance (see comparative data below). A substance that scores highly as an environmental hazard is oxides of nitrogen at 3.0 and one of the lower scores is carbon monoxide at 0.8. A substance that scores highly as a health hazard is arsenic at 2.3 and one of the lowest scores is ammonia at 1.0.


Regarding pH values the following chart should help,
