What is chlorine dioxide therapy (CDT)?

Chlorine dioxide is the world's most effective pathogen-killer - period!

CDT is a biooxidative therapy, which applies an appropriately dosed, extremely dilute chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) either TOPICALLY or SYSTEMICALLY . A bioxidative therapy is both oxidating and oxygenating and yields several health benefits.

CDT deactivates microbes on contact – viruses, protozoa, fungi and bacteria (including endospores and biofilm}, and eliminates toxins and diseased cells and consequently boosts the immune system. The chlorine dioxide molecule provided by CDT selectively targets and oxidizes (removes electrons from) pathogens and toxins, leaving healthy tissue unaffected. By clearing the way, CDT empowers the body’s own healing mechanisms. After completing its oxidation spree, it breaks down into oxygen, salt and other harmless compounds.
Beneficial for treating most health conditions. E.g. topical application for healing and pain relief for wounds, shingles, arthritis, bursitis burns. Systemic application for more serious issues such as cancer and stroke.

CDT was originally developed as the “MMS Protocol” by Jim Humble (died aged 91 in Sep. 2023) – On a gold-mining expedition into a jungle in Guyana in 1996, a member of his team contracted malaria two days away from civilization. Humble had some stabilized oxygen with him that he used to sterilize water, and being in a dire situation, he gave the man a few drops in water.To everyone’s amazement, the stricken man was well within a few hours. Determined to find out why some “water sterilizer” had cured this man, Humble spent several years in research and experimentation. He learned that stabilized oxygen (also called stabilized chlorine dioxide) is a 3% solution of sodium chlorite that produces a powerful oxidant called chlorine dioxide. By increasing its concentration, adding an acidic “activator”, he reduced the extreme alkalinity of sodium chlorite and increased the amount of chlorine dioxide it produced 100-fold. After determining an effective dose, he claims that he personally treated and cured 2000 people of malaria, getting them back on their feet in just a few hours. As a ploy to avoid FDA involvement, Humble resorted to forming a NON-SPIRITUAL “church”- The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing (Humble as the “archbishop” and its healing ministers called “bishops”) to allow more freedom in communicating information on MMS and to administer the protocols (referred to as sacraments!)

What is chlorine dioxide solution (CDS)?

First, let’s clear up the difference between CDS and MMS (a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite – NaClO₂). CDS is the more recent, easier to use, better tasting evolution of MMS by Andreas Kalker and Roger Rabés. CDS (ClO₂) is a stable, fully activated solution containing the active chlorine dioxide molecule dissolved in saline water. Still available, MMS is a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite (originally called Miracle Mineral Solution, later renamed to Master Mineral Solution). which requires activation with citric or hydrochloric acid just prior to use. There are however a few differences between the CDS from each source:

• Fully activated CDS contains no residual sodium chlorite or acidic activator, which is still present in the activated MMS, and which are responsible for its offensive taste / smell..

• Jim Humble considers that the residual unactivated sodium chlorite continues to add benefit to the therapy as the residual sodium chlorite and acids continue to react. However, the stability of CDS helps determine its efficacy, and safety, via its more predicatble effects. Dr Andreas Kalcker, who developed CDS, points to extensive research that found only 6% of 1132 patients experienced minor adverse side-effects related to the Herxheimer reaction, which is a major improvement over MMS side-effects. MMS or CDS ? – Dr. Andreas Kalcker

• The presence of the residual acid in MMS lowers the pH of the solution making it more of an irritant compared to CDS, with its neutral pH (no acidity).

• Jim Humble wrote that fully activated CDS can reach a plateau in its beneficial effects after several months, in which case it is better to switch to activated MMS. MMS1 and CDS – the Difference – Jim Humble

CDS production. CDS is made by bubbling chlorine dioxide gas through slightly saline water to achieve complete saturation.
CDS does not require additional activation. However, 0.3% CDS requires 8 times more drops than MMS to produce the same strength dose as activated MMS in an identical amount of water. CDS is not made stronger. Typically, 1 ml of CDS is equivalent to 1 drop of MMS (a very alkaline (pH 13) 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite), Undiluted 0.3% CDS contains 3000 PPM chlorine dioxide.
CDS has a close to neutral pH of about 7. The pH of CDS depends on the ph of the water used for dilution. The residual acid in activated MMS makes the solution have a more acidic pH <7, which can cause irritation in topical applications..
CDS does not have the awful taste and smell of MMS. CDS is generally better tolerated activated / diluted MMS.
CDS needs to be kept cool (in the fridge) in glass or HDPE containers and out of direct UV sulight. It is more sensitive to heat and light than MMS. Also, each time the CDS bottle is opened, if not kept below 51° F, some chlorine dioxide gas is released, reducing its original 3000 ppm over time. Properly stored, CDS maintains potency for 5-7 months. MMS can last 2-4 years and be stored at room temperature. Also, CDS should not use metal containers or lids

Functions of biooxidative CDT in the body

CDT is the most powerful biooxidative therapy available. In general, a biooxidative therapy provides or produces oxygen and oxidants (in strictly controlled amounts) to yield the following health benefits (some of which are obviously only obtained when therapy is applied systemically).

Immune System	Stimulate immune function	Oxidizes cancer cells (and other weak/abnormal cells) and inhibits tumor metabolism
	Oxidizes toxins, facilitating their excretion	Oxidizes bacteria, yeast, fungi, parasites, protozoa
	Scavenges free radicals	Chelates heavy metals, working well with EDTA
	Deactivates viruses	Prevents shock
Circulation / Oxygen	Breaks up red blood cell clumping	Cleans arteries and veins, improving circulation
	Increases cellular ATP energy production	Increases partial pressure of oxygen in the blood
	Prevents stroke damage	Reduces cardiac arrhythmia
Enzymes	Normalizes hormone and enzyme production	Stimulates production of cell-protective antioxidant enzymes
Healing	Reduces inflammation	Reduces pain
Healing	Stops bleeding	Supports / enhances healing process
Brain	Calms the nerves	Improves brain/memory function
Disease	Purifies the blood and lymph	Prevents/reverses degenerative disease
Disease	Prevents/Treats communicable diseases	Prevents/Eliminates auto-immune diseases

Chlorine dioxide SAFELY destroys bacteria (including biofilm (bacterial colonies) and endospores, a dormant form of some gram-positive bacteria that can survive harsh conditions, most significantly Bacillus and Clostridium genera), viruses, protozoa, fungi, toxins and diseased cells on contact in or on the body

Health benefits of CDT

Topical CDT

Appropriately applied, TOPICAL CDT provides a powerful tool for:

Skin problems. E.g. acne, abscess / sore, wound, skin eruption, athlete’s foot, shingles, basal cell carcinoma, Bowen’s Disease, infections (incl. resistant MRSA, fungal infections), burns;
Oral problems. E.g. For dental problems; halitosis; plaque removal; tighter gums; mercury toxicity (amalgam fillings); abscessed tooth (the best cure/control period); mouth / cold sores, including HerpesSImplex Virus (HSV – Type 1)
External ear infections / skin conditions and inner ear infections

DMSO (Carries chlorine dioxide through skin and into cells) can be added to CDT to enable the chlorine dioxide molecule to penetrate deeper into tissue. E.g. bone and muscle

Internal / Systemic CDT

Includes oral consumption, nebulizing, or topical when combined with DMSO (which enables chlorine dioxide to enter blood stream through the skin).

Diseases for which CDT has had reported successes, include: malaria, aids, diabetes, herpes, autism, melanoma, allergies, T.B., shingles, warts and many more. Used internally, the chlorine dioxide detoxifies the blood, muscles, brain, intestines, liver, nerves and more.

How to apply CDT and is it safe? (A hotly debated subject)

CDT is applied by 3 main methods

Topically – for external conditions. CDS treatment can also be combined with DMSO, which escorts the treatment solution deeper into the skin. Prepared / activated MMS combined with DMSO can enter the body to access the bloodstream and organs. Applications include applying CDS to skin or simply allowing chlorine dioxide gas to contact skin or aural problems.
Orally. For systemic therapy
Injected (administered clinically). For systemic therapy. Chlorine dioxide for injection (CDI) is a 0.9% sodium chloride solution with a concentration of 50 ppm pure chlorine dioxide (produced via electrolysis, preferably with microfiltration, to be completely free of acid).

Other applications for CDT. Protocols include applying CDT via enema, rectally, vaginally, highly diluted CDS solution in the nose and eyes, and inhalation at distance as a preventative for respiratory disease.

Promotion of CDT has received some negative media attention

ABC news 20/20 Program (2016), in particular, framed CDT in a bad light. Jim Humble’s response to what seemed like a damning presentation is found here

Authors conclusions on safety and efficacy

The complexity of reactions in CDT makes it difficult for anyone but those with a reasonable knowledge of chemistry to discuss its merits and shortfalls. Much of the information provided by sellers of CDS and MMS, and those who have only a smattering of understanding of the subject is not very helpful in getting to the truth.

CDT FOR TOPICAL PROBLEMS

Used TOPICALLY, this author has concluded that CDT provides a very powerful and safe therapy for health problems on the skin, and in the mouth, and ears. Both MMS and CDS can be used, but the neutral pH of fully activated CDS and fully activated MMS are less likely to cause irritation.

CDT For systemic health problems

As to SYSTEMIC CDT, after oral consumption of activated / diluted MMS at pretty high doses over several days, this author has no doubt that the therapy goes to work on cleansing the body of toxins, pathogens etc., However, the traumatic adverse reactions and particularly the taste and smell of the prepared MMS solutions did not help promote the therapy! This author prefers the use of fully activated CDS rather than partially activated MMS especially for anyone considering oral consumption, not to just avoid the off-putting taste and smell, but also for more consistent results with less adverse reactions, such as diarrhea and vomiting.

CDS as used in oral CDT is not toxic. EPA data places CDS toxicity at 292 mg / kg. A 154# adult could consume > 7 liters of concentrated CDS for 14 days to reach this level of toxicity. The usual CDT dose is a few millilitersl.

If you decide to apply CDT internally, CDT must be at appropriate doses, paying attention to the preparation and application details of the specific therapy.

How does CDT work?

As a therapy, quantities of ClO2 produced are small enough not to be harmful, but sufficient to be one of the most effective killers of pathogens, and destroyers of toxins and unhealthy cells

Chlorine dioxide is able to oxidize and destroy pathogens (e.g. bacteria (including biofilm), viruses, molds, fungus, protozoa) and toxins (including heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides) in the body, responsible for the majority of diseases of mankind. Pathogens and toxins are involved in an estimated 95% of diseases and ill-health, including inflammation / pain, chronically low energy, and problems maintaining healthy weight or a normal blood pressure
Chlorine dioxide is able to destroy unhealthy cells (e.g. cancer cells) in and on the body.
Chlorine dioxide can improve immune system function (when used systemically / internally).by giving it a helping hand

CDT increases blood oxygen. According to Andreas Kalcker, (CDS developer) venous blood gas measurements have indicated a 30% increase when taken orally, and 50% when injected, lasting about 2 hours. The body uses increased oxygen levels to promote health by aiding the immune system’s fight against undesireables and increasing cellular energy production.

Amount of chlorine dioxide produced is controlled by certain reaction parameters. In particular, solution concentration and pH. E.g. commercial applications for destroying pathogens range from 500 – 6000 ppm (parts per million), a strength that would prove deadly inside the body. IN CONTRAST, CDT is typically administered internally at a mere 24 ppm. (This is achieved with a dose in 4 oz water of 3 drops MMS (activated) or 24 drops (3 ml) CDS (need 8 times as many drops of CDS than MMS).

Sodium chlorite has been used for > 70 years in alternative medicine. It has been used to treat cold and flu viruses and as an antimicrobial tool. CHLORINE DIOXIDE is even more effective against microbes.

“. . . it overcomes colds in an hour or so, overcomes flu in less than 12 hours, overcomes pneumonia in less than 12 hours, cures more cancer than any other treatment by hundreds of times, cures hepatitis A, B, and C. It cures appendicitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and a hundred other diseases.”

– Jim Humble, MMS inventor (talking anecdotally about its systemic use)

Chlorine dioxide is a gas, and is typically used as a gas dissolved in water. Although ClO₂ gas can sometimes be used directly on the skin or in the ears or mouth, by exposing these areas to the outgassing of chlorine dioxide gas from the CDS..

Chlorine dioxide can be made at point of use by activating sodium chlorite solution (MMS) with a weak acid or it is available and ready to use as CDS (Chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in slightly saline water, but it must be stored below 11°C (~52°F). to prevent gas leaving liquid;

ClO₂ gas cannot be compressed, stored or shipped as a gas because it is unstable / explosive under pressure. Chlorine dioxide is considered explosive at higher concentrations, which exceed 10% by volume in air; its ignition temperature is about 130°C (266°F) at partial pressures. National Safety Council Data Sheet 525 -ClO2, 1967.

Chlorine dioxide as used in CDT is NOT chlorinating bleach (i.e. NOT like household bleach)

Although chlorine dioxide is used in high concentration for commercial non-chlorinating bleaching applications, the solutions used in CDT are extremely dilute.

Household bleach

Household bleach is typically a 5 to 6% solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). It Oxidizes, chlorinates and bleaches by gradual release of chlorine, which is a short-lived bactericide. Chlorination involves attaching a chlorine molecule to anything it comes into contact with.
Household bleach as typically used for wiping down surfaces is ineffective against viruses, molds (except on hard, non-porous surfaces), fungi and spore-forming organisms. Wet contact times for chlorine range from 2 to 10 minutes depending on the microbe, and chlorine solutions are inactivated by the presence of organic matter (blood, other proteinaceous material, dirt), heavy metal ions, low temperature, or ultraviolet irradiation (i.e. light). CDC reference

(OSHA is the first federal agency to announce a departure from the use of chlorine bleach in mold remediation. In time, other federal, state and other public safety agencies are expected to follow OSHA’s lead).

Vs. Chlorine dioxide

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is dissolved in fully activated CDS or produced from sodium chlorite (NaClO2 / MMS) in an acidified solution. Sodium chlorite is converted into chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), and although “chlorine” is found in its name, it does not chlorinate any more than the chlorine in table salt (NaCl).
ClO₂is effective against ALL microorganisms. ClO₂disinfects by oxidation only, not chlorination (i.e. electrophilic substitution) and is effective against ALL microorganisms, including the “superbugs” C. difficile, MRSA and Noro virus;
ClO₂does not generate undesirable organochlorine compounds. Unlike chlorine, ClO₂ is unaffected by ammonia and most organic substances.

Typical therapeutic use of chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) or activated/diluted MMS cannot be used to bleach anything. Although chlorine dioxide is used in high concentration for commercial, non-chlorinating bleaching applications, the solutions used in CDT are extremely dilute.

If you pour undiluted CDS (3000 ppm chlorine dioxide) or MMS (22.4% sodium chlorite) onto a pair of blue jeans (as shown in some media videos), then yes – it will turn them white!

ClO₂ has very different chemical properties to chlorine

Although ClO₂ shares a few characteristics with chlorine (E.g. green/yellowish gas with chlorine-like odor irritating to eyes, nose and throat), its chemical properties are very different to chlorine.

Chlorine (Cl2) vs. Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)
	Chlorine (Cl2)	Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)
Solubility	Dissociatiates into hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid(main biocide in solution), which dissociates with increasing pH to form hypochlorite ion (many times weaker biocide than hypochlorous acid. i.e. chlorine can only be an effective bactericide at low pH (as found in the stomach);	10 times more soluble than chlorine in water
Hydrolization(react with water to form compounds)		ClO2 doesn’t hydrolyze in solution. Remains a “true”dissolved gas retaining its oxidative and biocidal properties across pH range 2-10,
Oxidation	Chlorine reacts with oxidizable substances by substitution (i.e. chlorination)	ClO2 reacts with oxidizable substances by oxidation. It is a neutral compound of chlorine in the +IV oxidation state and disinfects by oxidation, it does not chlorinate
Oxidation strength(ORP)	Hypochlorous Acid (ORP 1.49 V) reacts with more compounds than ClO2	Chlorine Dioxide (ORP 0.95 V) does not react with as many compounds as chlorine. i.e. it is more selective
Oxidation Capacity	Hypochlorous acid has a +2 oxidation state. i.e. it can “steal” 2 electrons	2 ½ times > chlorine: ClO2’s chlorine atom has +4 oxidation state -i.e. it can “steal”4 electrons + one more converting to a chloride ion (Cl-)
Reaction with organic substances	Chlorinates organic substances to produce potentially harmful organochlorine products.Reacts with hydrocarbons (C-H) to produce organic toxic organic chloride (C-Cl) byproducts. E.g. THMs (trihalomethanes)Reacts with various amines (C-NH2) to produce chloramines (C-NH-Cl)
