Chlorine Dioxide Solution

Due to its ability to remove viruses, fungi, and even spores, chlorine dioxide is an excellent substance for vegetable washing. It's safe to use and complies with all food regulations. It is used to eliminate listeria and the E. coli bacteria in apples, potato blight, and green mould and bitter putrefaction from citric fruit. It is used in fish farming to fight infectious anaemia and infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmon. Chlorine dioxide is the food industry's best option (EU additive number is E926) because it has a very low residual toxicity and has proven to be a safe compound when used appropriately.

One key characteristic of chlorine dioxide is that it is extremely soluble in water, without creating further chemical bonds. That is, the gas completely dissolves in water, among other reasons, because its cellular structure is very similar to that of water.

Once it dissolves in water, it can also react quickly to other compounds, especially if they have an acidic pH. When chlorine dioxide reacts with water, it releases oxygen and also forms the chlorite ion (CIO2-). The ion is an electrically charged molecule, similar to a battery. In this case, the chlorite ion carries a negative electric charge and is also highly reactive. The chlorite ion with a negative charge seeks a positive charge for compensation and stability. In this case, it is sodium, which becomes sodium chlorite. If we now dissolve this compound in water again, we get chlorite ions and sodium ions.

If ingested, chlorine dioxide quickly reacts to acid pathogens, releasing oxygen and forming chlorite ions that later on turn into chloride ions, or common salt. Our body has no problem metabolising this minimum amount of salt since all our fluids are saline. In fact, our body continually loses salt through sweat and urine.

What do we know?

We know that chlorine dioxide is the best disinfectant known to man since it can eliminate bacteria, fungus, viruses and small parasites within a wide pH range. It has been used without incident for over 80 years to disinfect drinking water.

It is a widely-used industrial disinfectant. Although also used for paper bleaching, the extremely high concentration levels for this purpose are very different from any ingestion dose. By the same measure, our stomach's hydrochloric acid concentration is very different from the 37% industrial acid, which, if it dropped on our skin, would immediately dissolve it. Chlorine dioxide doesn't destroy the structure it bleaches; it is not aggressive with the base substance, even at relatively high concentrations.

To a great extent, the positive results of CD come from its ability to strengthen our body's immune system through the oxidation of pathogens and through other more complex effects. The ability to provide oxygen to cells is also crucial.

As a rule of thumb, the sicker the patient, the more significant the presence of toxic residue, so the slower we should increase the dosage, especially in the case of severe disease. In other words, the dosage depends more on how sick the patient is than on their weight.

Chemical reaction destroys the chlorine dioxide molecule (CIO2). The released oxygen (O2) joins either hydrogen (H) to form water (H2O) or carbon (C) to form carbon dioxide (CO2). The chlorine neutral ion bonds with sodium to become common salt (NaCl).

Chlorine Dioxide Is Not Hypochlorite!

Hypochlorite is bleach, a substance used to whiten clothes, and is chemically different from chlorine dioxide.

Sensationalist media love to make this comparison since controversy drives up their sales. Content doesn't matter. More contention means more audience share and higher advertising revenues. The same media could get people to drink bleach to treat illness, with absurd claims. I can't blame them since I understand they are part of the 'matrix' we inhabit.

Chlorine dioxide is not chlorate either. Chlorate is much more aggressive than sodium chlorite. Its chemical denomination is NaCIO. Chlorate is known to cause diarrhoea, and sometimes it can lead to vomiting.

When chlorine dioxide decomposes, it releases oxygen in the acidic area of the body, in a similar fashion to red blood cells, but with more force. We know that most diseases have to do with excessive acidity in the body or what is known as "metabolic acidosis." The released oxygen reacts by oxidizing the acid components or toxins in the blood and the interstitial tissue, where even blood doesn't reach. Chlorine dioxide dissolves exceptionally well in water and can, therefore, reach all parts of the body, which is 70% water. A person weighing 100 kilos is over 70 kilos of water, but only has 6 litres of blood to work as the transportation hydraulic liquid. Dioxide is distributed much better in water, reaching even the hidden areas such as the interstitial tissue.

We know that chlorine dioxide is pH-selective and that it reacts to any substance more acidic than the pH 7.3 level of the human body. We also know that most pathogens, whether bacteria, viruses, fungus or parasites, are more acidic than that level. Thanks to its selectivity, chlorine dioxide releases oxygen right where the acidic pathogens are, provoking their oxidation. Simply put, it burns them. When oxidation is powerful enough, there is no possible resistance to it. In fact, our bodies and those of other vertebrates have utilised the same mechanism of neutrophils, our immune system's killer defence cells, for millions of years. These cells swallow the enemy, provoking the oxidation that eliminates them. Thanks to this effect, we achieve a more alkaline environment with fewer bacteria, viruses or fungus, where our body can recover and heal naturally.

The key here is chlorine dioxide's capacity for selective oxidation in our organism. Personally, I think this is one of the most significant discoveries in human history, allowing for the elimination of so much unnecessary suffering in our world, and in a highly efficient and economical way. If the revelation doesn't comply with the pharmaceutical industry's interests, that's a different story.

The fascinating thing is that not only is chlorine dioxide selective, but it also reacts differently to each pathogen. The more acidic the bacteria are, the stronger the chemical oxidation reaction. The less acid they are, the weaker the oxidation. That is why it does not affect symbiotic bacteria as much, as they usually have a pH range closer to the body (hence, they are symbiotic).

For bacteria to attack our body, it must have a more acidic pH than our cells, similar to what happens with magnets. When two magnets have the same charge, they repel each other. Only when they have opposite charges, one negative and the other positive, do they attract each other and stick together. It's the same with bacteria; the negative pH is necessary to be able to attack, through an exchange of electrons, the cells with neutral or slightly alkaline pH levels.

One of our primary concerns, when we ingest any substance or drug, is what toxic effect it may have on our bodies. All health professionals know that toxicity is a matter of quantity and that any substance can be toxic.

Toxicity always depends on quantity and place. If a person ingests a large quantity with a high concentration, they will experience severe irritations, although most people are not exposed to doses high enough to damage the body permanently. Massive inhalation is toxic because it occupies the alveolar space.

1. Chlorine dioxide is not a toxin that accumulates in the body. Unlike other substances, it is consumed the moment it reacts with the pathogens.

2. In 100 years of use, there are only five documented cases of poisoning, and all of the patients survived, even though they took doses that were hundreds of times the ones we mention here.

3. If you breathe in air containing chlorine dioxide gas, you can experience throat, nose and lung irritation.

4. If it's too concentrated, it produces eye irritations that are reversible.

5. Based on data obtained to date and its use for over 100 years, we can say that chlorine dioxide is not carcinogenic.

6. There is no evidence of toxicity regarding reproduction.

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are essential for the survival of all living things. Plants and animals, as well as all other forms of life, have their own defences against free radicals and oxidative damage. Your body generates its own antioxidants, such as the cellular antioxidant glutathione. Therefore, antioxidants are found in all whole foods of plant and animal origin.

Adequate antioxidant intake is important. In fact, your life depends on the intake of certain antioxidants - namely, vitamins C and E. However, many other non-essential antioxidants occur in food. While they're unnecessary for your body, they play an important role in general health.

The health benefits associated with a diet rich in plants is at least partially due to the variety of antioxidants they provide. Berries, green tea, coffee, and dark chocolate are renowned for being good sources of antioxidants.

According to some studies, coffee is the single biggest source of antioxidants in the Western diet, but this is partly because the average individual doesn't eat that much antioxidant-rich foods.

Meat products and fish also contain antioxidants, but to a lesser extent than fruits and vegetables.

Whatever the case, do NOT get too hung up on removing all antioxidants whilst on CDS.
