Re: Dealing With the Bad Taste of MMS

Hello Iloveamma,

MMS is 28% by weight, sodium chlorite that is made from 80% technical grade sodium chlorite powder. The actual sodium chlorite content is 22.4%. This means that it is not really a 28% solution, when it comes to chemical activity, but a 22.4% solution.

To dilute down to a 5% solution, you need to take 1 part Miracle-Mineral-Supplement and add 3.38 parts water. This will give you 4.48 parts of 5%.

The math is not exactly even, but you can come very close by putting 10 ml of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement in a glass and adding 35 ml of water. This will give you 45 ml of a 4.98% sodium chlorite solution.

To figure PPM, you have to do some math. 1 ml of 5% sodium chlorite when added to 1 liter of water gives you 30 PPM of available chlorine dioxide. If you activate 1 ml of 5% sodium chlorite with 1 ml of 10% citric acid , let the activation continue for 10 minutes, then dilute with 1 liter of water, you will end up with a solution that has 6 PPM free chlorine dioxide and 24 PPM available chlorine dioxide.

You can verify the concentrations you mix by purchasing some chlorine dioxide test strips and checking what you actually have. These test strips are available at laboratory test supply outlets like http://www.coleparmer.com
, and run a little under $9 (plus shipping) per package of 50 test strips.

I find it very informative to know what the concentration of the final solution ends up at. The test strips give you a good idea of the final product concentration. They also give you a way to verify the concentration of the initial solution you are purchasing.

The big question is how much you need to take...

Unfortunately, no one has that answer.

What I can tell you is that doses are usually related to body weight, and each ml of the 5% sodium chlorite solution will give you 50 mg of sodium chlorite. It would be nice if there was a table that gave you amounts and times needed for a variety if illnesses, but those tests have never been done.

If you decide to take this internally, you are taking things into your own hands and will have to use your "best guess." I always recommend having a medical professional on board as part of your team to monitor for any signs of adverse effects.
