Hello Blue,

When using a 5% solution, milliliters (ml) or cubic centimeters (cc) are used to measure instead of drops. That is why we use a syringe for measuring. The syringe has the measurements imprinted on it and it is easier to get a consistent amount each time you measure. Keep in mind that some syringes are labeled in cc rather than ml, but 1 cc = 1 ml.

The most effective way to activate a sodium chlorite solution using 10% citric acid is to use them in a 1:1 ratio. That means that if you have 0.25 ml of sodium chlorite, you should add 0.25 ml of 10% citric acid to activate it. The optimum activation time is 10 minutes. This simply means that you mix the two chemicals together and let them sit for 10 minutes before diluting it down to a usable level.

The original Miracle-Mineral-Supplement protocol involved using activators in the 4 - 5% acid range (apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice). In order to release some additional free chlorine dioxide, Jim Humble came up with the 5:1 ratio of activator to sodium chlorite. He should have cut that back down to 1:1 when he went to the 10% citric acid activator, but he didn't, and seems to think that the higher amounts of free chlorine dioxide in the solution are beneficial.

The problem with this approach is that there is less chlorine dioxide left to work in the solution. I have measured a 30% difference in disinfecting power between a properly activated solution and one activated according to the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement protocol. This means that with proper activation, you could use 30% less and still achieve the same results.

Chlorine dioxide is so unstable that it is impossible to measure any concentration of it inside the body. If there was a way to measure concentrations inside the body, tests could be done to determine the best way to get a certain concentration inside the body. Unfortunately, we can't measure these levels, so the benefit of having more of the available chlorine dioxide released as free chlorine dioxide is not readily apparent. If we wanted a stronger solution of free chlorine dioxide, the activator should be changed to hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid will release all of the available chlorine dioxide as free chlorine dioxide, and then you could simply dilute down to the concentration necessary to produce a certain level inside the body.

Well - I would think just getting a syringe of it in his mouth and maybe rubbing some on his gums..
