Chlorine Dioxide

I just looked at this. I don't know how reputable of a link it is but it has good information on there. In general. Chlorine dioxide appears to be a strong oxidizer but I'm pretty sure it is bleach...isn't it?

Not necessarily. I could see most drs Not recommending bleach for the obvious side effects of possible death Lol. But the dosages recommended are very very low.

If you are talking about using the MMS stuff, please, please really do your research!! I'd bet that unless someone is just running scared, they wouldn't use it -as WWJD has said, It's scary!!

I've done some reading on German sites and forums, the over riding opinion seems to be,don't touch it.

There have been cases of people ruining their stomach flora, very frightening reports.

Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

At best it seems to be hocus pocus,at worst very damaging for your health.

I've been on CD using Kerri Rivera's protocol for about two months and I'm feeling better than I have in about 20 years.  I treated Lyme with abx, homeopathics, spageric homeopathics, herbs, sauna, diet, and pretty much anything else we could throw at it.  I tried rife, foot detox, and you name it.  Abx, homeopathics, herbs, sauna, and diet helped and we thought whew, in remission and then it came back.  I had read about CD and met a person knew a person who had recovered her son using it.  Initially, I was not interested but the more I learned from others using it, the more intrigued I became.  If you research pretty much anything you take, it's toxic at some level.  Herbs, medicines......antibiotics aren't all that good for us so makes sense to me that what is, in one amount poison to us (digitalis, hemlock, valerian, belladonna....the list goes on).  Prescription meds are also toxic.  For the record, the molecular structure of Chlorine Dioxide is not the same as it is for bleach.  I am, finally looking for full time permanent work.  My garage is clean.  My freezer is defrosted.  I'm picking up extra classes where I currently teach, subbing for others who want time off.  I'm sorting and cleaning.  I've removed nails from two old cedar fences and cut it to length for kindling for winter and set up myself and four others and I have another truck load to do.  This was not possible just two months ago.  I've had no trauma to gut flora so I wonder what the dosage was or if they were confused by the die off of bartonella or babesia which can cause upset.  I don't know, but I know that for me right now, it has been a godsend and I am grateful.  I'm going places, doing things and making plans.  This fall (after all the wood is moved and the new bark is in place, I'm purchasing a canopy for the truck so I can go camping.  It's been over 15 years since I was able to go camping.  I am excited and moving forward.

I used chlorine dioxide (which is NOT bleach, it's a different molecular structure) to treat Lyme about 10 years ago.

I worked my way up to 10 drops and did it every 3-4 hours for two weeks. Had a bout of nausea at beginning so backed dosage down. I recommend increasing dosage by one drop every other dose.

I had the classic bullseye rash after finding the tick on me. My dog tested positive for Lyme too. I could not get him to drink the chlorine dioxide so had to pay for antibiotics at vet.

But I didn't have insurance so treated myself. I never developed any Lyme symptoms except the bullseye rash.

As I said, ten years... Symptom free, so assuming it worked as described. I've also used chlorine dioxide to treat a tooth infection and a case of what I thought was a stomach bug. It worked fine then too.. Tooth infection gone in a couple of days.

I would not take chlorine dioxide on a regular basis, but in these small, correctly mixed dosages, for short periods, it has not ever been reported to have bad effects.

Keep in mind that when you mix the solution it only creates the chlorine dioxide gas for 2-3 hours max. Then the compound breaks down into harmless salt and water. This is why it's safe and also why low dosage every 3-4 hours is effective. You are keeping the gas in your blood in small amounts but over an extended period of several weeks. Two notes: don't worry about skipping dosages while sleeping, just do one before bed. Also, I did for just two weeks as I started within 4 days of being tick-bit. If you've had Lyme for a long time, I'd certainly consider a longer course of treatment, or repeating the treatment with a short break of a few weeks. I would also take daily double enteric coated probiotics every day after you are done with treatment.

Considering it's used to kill anthrax, Lyme bacteria is a breeze for chlorine dioxide to handle.

I tried it about 9 years ago when I was diagnosed with CFS. It was relatively new then, and my health care professional was using it himself to see if it would help him.
It is very hard on the stomach, at the time I took it for a while...... no herxes for me nothing but nausea. I have seen it as part of some peoples lyme protocol. I dont think it does all they say it can do. I dont doubt it works in a limited way. There are better solutions even if you dont have much money.
I use it to clean my teeth these days (for mouth infections) and I dont swallow it.
Last time I ingested it it seemed to damage the stomach lining and it took years to get over it. I tried everything. It wasn't worth it it is just too hard on the body.

during the time I had active lyme, the smell of MMS made me feel ill.
I still forced myself to take it, but I felt awful with it.

When lyme was gone, I could take it (for other problems).
But never too long, as my stomach got painful.

I know though some people who took it very long.
Dr. K uses MMS too.
