Re: MMS is an chlorinated oxidative poison BS

Hello Goatz4u,

The paper mill accident is referenced in the OSHA guidelines.

Oxidants work by having a concentration of them in contact with what you are trying to kill off for a period of time long enough to complete the kill. This is referred to as the CT value (concentration times time).

Testing is done to determine the CT needed for various organisms. For example, the CT for Campylobacter is 15. This means that if you have a concentration of chlorine dioxide of 5 PPM, it will take 3 minutes to kill Campylobacter off. This testing was done on a hard surface. No similar tests have been done with pathogens inside the human body.

Now, when you move from killing things to bleaching, you have to use higher concentrations. The advantage of using chlorine dioxide for bleaching is that it is very volatile, and does not remain in the product you are bleaching. When you pass 5000 PPM chlorine dioxide through food starch and flour, it bleaches it, kills off any organisms that happen to be left over, then the chlorine dioxide quickly leaves the product and you are left with just the bleached product and no chlorine dioxide gas.

With meat products you can use up to 1200 PPM and little bleaching will occur. If you leave a small residual on the meat, the chlorine dioxide will keep working while the meat is transported and shelved prior to purchase. When the wrap is removed and the meat is rinsed prior to cooking, all of the remaining chlorine dioxide is released into the air and it quickly disperses. You enjoy meat that doesn't have pathogens growing on and in it, and since chlorine dioxide remains as a gas, there is nothing left after you open the package.

Cotton starts bleaching at around 300 PPM.

Keep in mind that these high concentrations are not meant for human ingestion, and the people working around these high concentrations are protected from the high concentrations by well designed ventilation methods. The air from the ventilation is stripped of the chlorine dioxide and it is recycled back into the process system.

There are many ways to use chlorine dioxide. When you explore the various concentrations used, you also have to keep in mind how it is being used.
