MMS is principally a water treatment product. MMS (28% sodium chlorite), when mixed with a suitable activator produces chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is scientifically proven to be one of the most powerful pathogen killers known to man, and is commonly used in ‘water systems’. It safely destroys viruses, bacteria, fungi, and disease causing pathogens in drinking water, food preparation areas, and even on living and harvested produce. MMS can be safely consumed when used to purify drinking water. When you consider that the human body is 60 to 70 percent water, you could also class the human body as being a ‘water system’.
For travellers, MMS is perfect for treating drinking water when it is suspected of having a high risk of disease. Many water treatment plants worldwide are switching to chlorine dioxide due to its superior pathogen killing abilities.
Below is a summarized history of chlorine dioxide taken from Wikipedia:
Chlorine dioxide is used primarily (>95%) for bleaching of wood pulp, but is also used for the bleaching of flour and for the disinfection of municipal drinking water. The New York water treatment plant first used chlorine dioxide for drinking water treatment in 1944. Chlorine dioxide was introduced as a drinking water disinfectant on a large scale in 1956, when Brussels, Belgium, changed from chlorine to chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is used in many industrial water treatment applications as a biocide including process water and food processing. Chlorine dioxide is less corrosive than chlorine and superior for the control of Legionella bacteria. Chlorine dioxide is far superior to copper-silver ionization for Legionella control because unlike copper-silver ionization, chlorine dioxide is: 1) an EPA approved biocide, 2) not negatively impacted by pH and 3) does not lose efficacy over time because the bacteria grow resistant to the biocide.
It is more effective as a disinfectant than chlorine in most circumstances against water borne pathogenic microbes such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa – including the cysts of Giardia and the oocysts of Cryptosporidium.
It can also be used for air disinfection, and was the principal agent used in the decontamination of buildings in the United States after the 2001 anthrax attacks. After the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana and the surrounding Gulf Coast, chlorine dioxide has been used to eradicate dangerous mold from houses inundated by water from massive flooding.
Stabilized chlorine dioxide can also be used in an oral rinse to treat oral disease and malodor.
