"* After reading both parts of John Humble's book, I now believe that ClO2 works NOT by releasing Oxygen, but rather by the action of the Chlorine Dioxide itself as an oxidizer."
I believe that as well. As an oxidant, you would want to keep antioxidants away until its work is done. That is why it is important to take vitamin C or selenium at least 2 hours after dosage of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . Iodine is an oxidant as well. That is why Iodine therapy has been so successful.
Also, studies have indicated that bad pathogens are destroyed by oxidants and don't like living in an alkaline environment.
