Re: a call for chemistry - Silverfox?

Hello Jfh,

I am right in the middle of "exploring" how anti oxidants react with a dose of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement .

I am not sure if DMSO is considered an anti oxidant, but it seems to slow down the reaction, and the PPM of free ClO2 is slightly reduced.

When you add 50 mg of ascorbic acid to a 6 drop dose of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , the PPM of free ClO2 drops to 0. It takes around 2 hours for the concentration of ClO2 to come back up. If you then add another 50 mg of ascorbic acid, the PPM of free ClO2 will drop to 0 again, and once again you have to wait around 2 hours for it to come back up. I am in the middle of testing to see if the solution can handle a third addition of 50 mg of ascorbic acid.

I have also looked at a 12 drop dose. Its response was similar in that it would take around 2 hours to "recover." I stopped after four additions of ascorbic acid (8 hours). I am not sure how long liquids stay in your system before you eliminate them. I seem to recall 2 - 4 hours, but I don't know for sure.

I am also unsure how long ascorbic acid remains in your system.

When purifying drinking water, I often end up with a high residual. To improve the taste of the treated water, I will add around 100 mg ascorbic acid to a liter of treated water. This eliminates the odor and taste from the treatment chemicals. As far as I know, this eliminates the chemical activity because overnight there is no build up of odor or taste.

I think anti oxidants play a big part in the effectiveness of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . If you are on a high level anti oxidant program, you may not be able to continue it while taking MMS.

If the reaction of ClO2 and ascorbic acid is similar inside the body as it is in a glass of solution, an anti oxidant program that includes 5000 mg of ascorbic acid could neutralize around 200 drops of MMS.

If time permits, I plan to look at vitamin E and selenium too. Then I want to mix up a solution of a combination of anti oxidants to see if the synergy between them has a different effect on ClO2.
