In a world where toxins are everywhere, from our water and food to the air we breathe, many people are turning to natural, effective ways to support their health and detoxify their bodies. One of the most promising solutions is chlorine dioxide, a gentle yet powerful oxidizer that targets harmful pathogens, heavy metals, and chemical toxins without harming healthy tissues or beneficial bacteria.
This quick reference guide offers a clear, practical overview of how to use chlorine dioxide safely and effectively. Whether you’re new to chlorine dioxide or looking to deepen your understanding, you’ll learn how to make it, how to take it, and how to support your body’s natural healing process using this widely misunderstood but potentially life-changing solution.
For health support, detoxification, and topical use
🔍 Key Terms & Definitions
| Term | Definition |
| MMS | Miracle Mineral Solution. A 28% Sodium Chlorite (SC) liquid that becomes active when mixed with an activator, yielding 22.4% SC + 5.6% inert salts. Often mislabeled as Chlorine Dioxide. |
| Activator | A mild acid ( Citric Acid, 4% Hydrochloric Acid, or stomach acid) used to activate MMS and generate Chlorine Dioxide gas. |
| Chlorine Dioxide | The gaseous liquid that results from mixing MMS drops with an activator, allowing time to “activate,” then dilutes by adding four or more ounces of water. |
| CDS | Chlorine Dioxide Solution. A gas dissolved in water, created by distilling chlorine dioxide. It’s a purified version (no inert ingredients) that targets toxins while preserving healthy cells. |
| Toxin | A poison in the body (from bacteria, parasites, chemicals, etc.). |
| Antidote | A substance that neutralizes toxins—Chlorine dioxide works as an antidote. |
| Redox Potential | The ability of a substance to accept or donate electrons helps neutralize toxins. CDS has a redox potential of 0.94V, ideal for oxidizing harmful substances without damaging healthy tissue. |
💧 What is Chlorine Dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide is a gentle but powerful detoxifier used worldwide to sanitize water and food. When used properly, it targets:
- Bad bacteria
- Viruses
- Parasites
- Heavy metals
- Toxins
✅ Unlike bleach, CDS is selective—it destroys harmful invaders without harming your gut flora or healthy cells.
🛒 How to Obtain CDS
You can buy:
- CDS (ready-to-use solution) — already activated, tastes better, more expensive
- MMS Kits (2-part kits) — includes Sodium Chlorite + Activator. Cheaper, can make CDS yourself.
- Sodium Chlorite Crystals — to make your own MMS solution
⚠️ When buying Sodium Chlorite Crystals:
Choose one with <1% NaClO₃ (sodium chlorate) content for safety.
🧪 How to Make Your Own MMS (Sodium Chlorite Solution)
- Gather Supplies:
- Sodium Chlorite Crystals (28% concentration when diluted)
- Distilled water
- Brown glass bottles (4 oz or larger)
- Glass mixing container (no metal)
- Mix Ratio:
- 280 grams Sodium Chlorite crystals
- 720 grams warm distilled water
- This makes ~7 bottles (4 oz each)
- Storage:
- Use dark-colored bottles
- Keep out of sunlight and heat
- Do not store MMS and Activator mixed together—store separately
🧪 How to Make the Activator
Option 1: Citric Acid
- Use 50% Citric Acid solution (pre-made or mixed)
Option 2: 4% Hydrochloric Acid (HCL)
- Buy 32% HCL (available at hardware stores as muriatic acid)
- Mix: 1/4 cup HCL into 1 ¾ cups distilled water
- ⚠️ Always add acid to water, never the other way around
🥤 How to Use Chlorine Dioxide (Beginner Protocol)
🕊️ Start low and go slow to reduce detox symptoms like diarrhea, rash, or sweating.
Days 1–3:
- Mix 1 drop MMS + 1 drop Activator
- Wait 30–45 seconds (should turn yellow or light amber)
- Add to 10–12 oz filtered water in a bottle
- Sip throughout the day (best: a few sips every hour)
Days 4–6:
- Use 2 drops MMS + 2 drops Activator (same method)
Days 7–9:
- Use 3 drops MMS + 3 drops Activator (same method)
Day 10+:
- Continue 3–15 drops depending on personal need
- General Detox: 8–10 drops/day
- Anti-aging protocol: up to 15 drops/day
- Chronic Illness (e.g., cancer): up to 24 drops/day under self-supervision
⏳ Reminder: Chlorine Dioxide remains active in the body for about 45 minutes, so frequent micro-doses are more effective than one large dose.
🚽 Detox Reactions & Support
If you experience:
- Diarrhea
- Rash
- Sweating
- Nausea
This is likely detox, not allergy. It means your body is eliminating neutralized toxins.
To support detox:
- Use binders like:
- Pascalite clay
- Apple pectin
- Activated charcoal
❌ Do NOT use anti-diarrheal drugs like Imodium—you want to eliminate the toxins, not trap them, risking reinfection.
🛁 Bath Protocol
- Mix 1–2 tsp MMS + ¼–½ tsp Activator
- Wait until amber
- Add to warm/hot bath
- Soak 20–30 minutes
🛑 Start low, especially if you have sensitive skin. Adjust as needed.
🌿 Topical Use (With DMSO)
Used by some for skin issues or tumors.
How:
- Activate 3 drops MMS + 3 drops Activator
- Add 6 drops 75% DMSO
- Apply to clean skin (DMSO carries substances into the bloodstream)
⚠️ Avoid any lotions or chemicals on the skin before applying!
💦 Using Ready-Made CDS
- CDS is already activated
- Contains 3000 PPM chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in distilled water
- Tastes better and causes less stomach upset
- More expensive per dose than using MMS kits
📌 Adjust doses accordingly. Example:
- 1 drop of activated MMS = approx. 1 mL of 3000 ppm CDS
⚖️ Comparison Table
| Feature | MMS + Activator | CDS (Ready-Made) |
| Taste | Stronger, bitter | Milder, easier to drink |
| Cost | More affordable | More expensive |
| Ease of use | Requires activation | Already activated |
| Strength (PPM) | ~10,000 PPM (fresh) | ~3,000 PPM |
| Byproducts | May contain trace sodium | No sodium byproducts |
✅ Key Takeaways
- Store all components in a cool, dark place
- Never mix in metal containers
- Only use distilled water
- Listen to your body and detox gently
- Educate yourself before starting—start with a small dose and observe reactions
