Hello Whawk,
To compare Stabilized Oxygen with
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement you have to look at the differences in concentrations.
MMS is 28% sodium chlorite. Stabilized Oxygen is generally 3% sodium chlorite. Stabilized Oxygen has been around for a long time and is generally dosed at 20 - 40 drops.
A 20 drop dose of Stabilized Oxygen is about the same as a 2 drop dose of
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement .
Figuring PPM is a little more difficult.
The concentration of sodium chlorite dictates the maximum theoretical amount of ClO2 that can be obtained from it. For example,
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement is 28% sodium chlorite by weight, but it is made from technical grade sodium chlorite that is only about 80% pure. This means that the 28% solution is actually a 22.4% solution. Also, when converting NaClO2 to ClO2 there are some losses and only around 60% of the total can be converted.
A 28% NaClO2 solution is at 280000 PPM by definition. To figure out the theoretical total available ClO2 that can be obtained from the 28% solution, we take 280000, multiply it by 0.80 and take that result and multiply it by 0.60, and end up with 134400 PPM. If conditions are right, this is the maximum amount of ClO2 you can get from this solution, and this is called available ClO2.
With the 3% stabilized oxygen sodium chlorite solution, the same conditions apply so we start with 30000 PPM, multiply it by 0.80, then multiply that result by 0.60, and end up with 14400 PPM of ClO2 available from this solution.
In addition to the available ClO2, we also end up with ClO2 being released during the activation. This is called free ClO2 in solution.
Bruce deals with available ClO2, but you have to calculate it to know what you have, or take a sample and titrate it to determine its concentration. I think the free ClO2 is what causes the nausea and diarrhea problems that people report at high concentration doses, and free ClO2 can be easily measured with test strips. It is also easy to generalize gross concentrations by the color of the solution. 1 PPM has no color. 5 PPM only has the slightest tint of yellow color. 10 PPM has a pale yellow color. 100 PPM has a very noticeable yellow color, and 1000 PPM has a yellow color.
I hope that it is evident that you can have a high available PPM of ClO2, but still have a low free ClO2 PPM.
Jim Humbles original protocol called for using apple cider vinegar. He noted that he had around 1 PPM free ClO2 when he activated 15 drops of MMS with apple cider vinegar. I ran tests on that and came up with around 3 PPM free ClO2. While this solution only has 3 PPM free ClO2 in a 250 ml glass of water, it has around 480 PPM available ClO2.
Jim Humble claims to have had 100% success with clearing up malaria using this concentration. Then he changed the activator to
citric acid .
The biggest consequence of this change is that 10%
citric acid releases more free ClO2 upon activation. Unfortunately, no compensation in the dilution amount was made to compensate for this. Another issue is that since more ClO2 is being released due to the stronger acid, and the high quantities of activator being used, there is less available to "work" within the body.
Now back to your original question... If the average stomach hold around 1 liter, you would need around 1.5 drops of the 3% stabilized oxygen to end up with 1 PPM available ClO2 in your stomach.
