Decontamination Properties of Chlorine Dioxide

Since the 1920s, chlorine dioxide has been known for its disinfecting properties. It was recognized as a chemo-sterilizing agent in 1984; and in 1988, it was registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for use as a sterilant. The USDA has deemed chlorine dioxide as certified for organic use in crop production, as an algicide, disinfectant and sanitizer. In addition, no corrosion is observed when using materials such as stainless steel, Lexan, and various other plastics such as Delrin, Teflon, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). With appropriate delivery equipment and care, chlorine dioxide is a safe and effective means of decontamination.
A significant safety feature of chlorine dioxide is that it has a distinct odor much like a swimming pool, making even minor leaks self-alerting, well below the human habitation safety limit. Both gaseous and aqueous phase chlorine dioxide has been proven to be an effective sterilizing agent that has broad and high biocidal effectiveness. Both forms of chlorine dioxide have been reported to effectively inactivate pathogens, including all viruses, bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, molds and yeasts.
Gaseous chlorine dioxide has proven to be an effective sterilant. Jeng and Woodworth (1990) reported the sporicidal activity of chlorine dioxide gas. Gaseous chlorine dioxide has successfully been used to decontaminate B. anthracis (anthrax) contaminated areas of the Hart Senate Office Building and the Brentwood postal sorting facility in Washington, DC. Hans et al. also reported high efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas in reducing Bacillus spores on paper, plastic, epoxy-coated stainless steel and wood surfaces. Additionally, much research has demonstrated that chlorine dioxide gas is highly effective in eliminating foodborne pathogens such as E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella.

In microbiology the probability that an object that has been subjected to a sterilization process may nevertheless remain nonsterile is called the sterility assurance level (SAL). The SAL is used to measure the probability of microorganism survival and measured in orders of magnitude reduction, also called a "log" reduction.
Chlorine dioxide, when applied correctly, provides for sterilization (6-log reduction). Chlorine dioxide is therefore defined as a chemical sterilant and is a selective oxidant that effectively destroys several components of microbial cells. It destroys the DNA in cells and, therefore, microorganisms such as bacteria, virus and mold are unable to build up a resistance. Because chlorine dioxide is selective, the oxidizing action is retained longer than other fumigation agents such as peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide, therefore allowing for maximum kill.

Chlorine dioxide is illegal in many other countries for the treatment of CoVid. However, in their desperate search for products and protocols that actually work, many conscientious practitioners here in South America have turned to approaches with proven track records -- approaches that are outside internationally recognized guidelines.
Inspired by the findings of Dr. Andreas Ludwig Kalcker in Europe, who has spent the past 13 years researching the curative effects of ClO2, practitioners here in Ecuador began using Biodox several months ago to treat their most severe cases. Between the different physicians who have used ClO2, I myself know of well over 1,000 cases that have been successfully treated. (I used it, among other things, when I myself had CoVid last March.) Note that many of these patients were alternatively taking Vitamin C, D, zinc, magnesium and other adjuncts -- nutrients which I myself have been advocating since February, 2020 -- so these claims cannot be construed as constituting a cure. These physician reports are anecdotal and do not carry the weight of formal double-blind studies. Nonetheless, the success of ClO2 for the treatment of CoVid has been so noticeable that one third of all Catholic bishops in Ecuador got together and wrote a letter to President Lenin Moreno last month (July) requesting that its use as an effective medical treatment be formally recognized. They specifically referred to chlorine dioxide as a "proven CoVid cure." Moreover, they specifically condemned the behavior of the orthodox medical community and the World Health Organization by name, going to far as to request the removal of Ecuador's health minister, on the basis of malfeasance. I repeat these events, because they have been in the media. (Please do not take observation for advocacy.)
I am reproducing the protocol they are using below, in both English and Spanish. I am providing this information for research purposes only, because in the majority of countries in which we operate, no form of chlorine dioxide is approved for official medical use. Use is legally restricted to disinfecting only. It should also be noted that the official position of medical orthodoxy is that ClO2 has no medical benefit whatsoever. The official position of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration is that chlorine dioxide, used for medical purposes, is dangerous and harmful and will prevent patients from seeking out conventional doctors who provide authorized treatments. That is, none of the thousands of cases and studies in which chlorine dioxide has been employed are valid. We ask that those interested in this area do their own research and come to their own conclusions.
For products, like Biodox, that are stabilized chlorine dioxide at the 2,000 PPM level, the following protocol is being widely utilized by hundreds of practicing physicians:
Protocol in English: Take 15 ml. (one Tablespoon) of 2,000 PPM chlorine dioxide and put it in one liter (1,000 ml. or roughly one quart [946 ml.]) of purified water. Mix well and refrigerate in a dark plastic bag, or something sufficient for the mixture to not be exposed to light when not in use. During the day, take 125 ml. of the solution every hour. Thus, the container will be consumed over eight hours. Repeat daily until CoVid symptoms are gone. Severe cases: For severe cases, particularly where troubling respiratory illness is manifest, consume 125 ml. of this same solution every fifteen minutes. Thus, the container will be consumed over two hours. Repeat until symptoms are gone. Contraindication: For best effect, do NOT take any citrus product or any other consumable containing Vitamin C within three hours of consuming a chlorine dioxide product.
Protocolo en español: Tomar 15 ml. (una cucharada) de 2000 ppm de dióxido de cloro y colóquelo en un litro (1000 ml. o aproximadamente un cuarto de galón [946 ml.]) de agua purificada. Mezclar bien y refrigerar en un recipiente o bolsa de plástico oscura, la mezcla no debe exponerse a la luz cuando no esté en uso. Durante el día, tomar 125 ml. de la solución cada hora. Así, el contenedor se consumirá durante ocho horas. Repita todos los días hasta que desaparezcan los síntomas de CoVid. Casos graves: Para casos graves, especialmente donde se manifieste una enfermedad respiratoria preocupante, consumir 125 ml. de esta misma solución cada quince minutos. Por lo tanto, el contenedor deberá consumirse en dos horas. Repita hasta que desaparezcan los síntomas. Contraindicación: Para obtener el mejor efecto, NO tome ningún producto cítrico ni ningún otro consumible que contenga vitamina C dentro de las tres horas de consumir un producto de dióxido de cloro.

2. An example would be our own AO Chlorite which is not legal in all countries and for which we ask customers to investigate its status in your country of residence, as laws regarding its legalized use vary widely.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Chlorine Dioxide, "Disinfectant" & CoVid-19 -- A little background is needed here. MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) goes back to the work of Jim Humble, to whom I was introduced in the early 2000's by a mutual friend in Ohio. I talk about this on our AO Chlorite page. I and my family have personally used MMS or variations of it to support our own health for almost 20 years. We are aware of what it is, what it does, what it treats, what it doesn't, but our use of it is mostly personal. We don't advertise it, and when people buy it, they have to have a foreknowledge of what it does. We are aware that this is a sensitive political area.
   So fast forward to last week (around Apr. 24, 2020).
   It appear that President Trump was contacted by someone representing Genesis II -- a self-styled church group which has made MMS a "sacrament" as a means of legally circumventing regulations. This was what was reported in the Media. Trump was obviously told what MMS does and the results people have been getting. Subsequently Donald Trump, in a televised Coronavirus press conference, made tangential references to chlorine dioxide without mentioning the compound by name. For that, he was gang raped by the media for suggesting that chlorine bleach should be injected to wipe out the Coronavirus "within a minute."
   Here's the problem with the "fake news" attack.
   Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) isn't chlorine bleach (mainly sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)).
   And success in treating CoVid-19 is exactly what some clinicians are reporting.
   Last month, Dr. Klinghard (M.D.) of the Klinghard Institute reported that medical doctors in Berlin were having success in treating CoVid-19 using MMS -- the very thing that the "fake news" has been so rigorously denigrating.
   Closer to home, a medical doctor in Ecuador has gone public, noting considerable success in "curing" (yes, he used the Spanish word "curar") CoVid-19. He made this announcement during an interview on "Ecuador en Vivo." This, in our opinion, is enough evidence to justify further research.
   
   
   
   
   North Korea has been aggressively using chlorine dioxide (ClO2) -- (go to 0:45)
   and has reported no CoVid-19 deaths -- despite the fact that it shares a border
   with China. Could this be true? We may never know.
   
   That said, there are element of the reporting where we must interject. For example, if it is true that Genesis II is representing that MMS (chlorine dioxide) "cures 99% of all disease," this would not comport with our experience. In fact, it's a gross exaggeration. In our experience as naturopaths and herbalists, a great many illnesses have psychological, even spiritual, etiologies. No chemical compound will ever will be found that cures most diseases. However, any honest discussion of chlorine dioxide must come down to clinical results that are untainted by political considerations or the protestations of a "bought-off" media. In the end, the controversies surrounding chlorine dioxide, in whatever form in may be found, will only be settled by the light of unbiased clinical testing.
   The media's comments on the dangers must also be addressed: there is no question that if someone were using chlorine dioxide, MMS, or any other material that reduced or could be processed to make chlorine dioxide, they could hurt themselves if they took too much. The same could be said of innumerable herbal products, as well as most vitamins and minerals. For this reason, if you're going to use this compound therapeutically, we advise that you seek out an alternative practitioner that is skilled in its use. You're taking unnecessary risks if you don't.
   
   
4. See: 'Miracle' Treatment Turns into Potent Bleach -- put out by the FDA. This section is straight to the point: "FDA says the product is sold by many independent distributors on several websites and through online auctions. Consumers should be alert when buying such an item on the Internet because the product's labeling, colors, and logos may vary.
   "According to FDA experts, drinking the amount recommended on product labels can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration. Some labels claim vomiting and diarrhea are not uncommon after the product is ingested -- and even maintain such reactions are evidence MMS is working.
   "FDA experts say MMS is dangerous, and they're advising consumers to stop using the product immediately."
   
   
5. See a copy of this U.S. Title 21 law. Interesting the U.S. Environemental Protection Agency (EPA) has put out an interesting document, entitled Anthrax spore decontamination using chlorine dioxide. If you carefully examine this document, you'll see a variety of recommended uses for water purification -- water that people DRINK.
