I dab on tea tree oil like small dabs of perfume. No bites at all! Once I 
put it on behind ears and wrists and elbows. In the middle of the night I 
got too warm and stuck my leg out of the covers. In the morning my ankle was

CSCS - malaria - and MMS

2008-03-27 Thread Reid Harvey

Hi again,
 
Thanks to all for the suggestion, on MMS for malaria, etc., but I seem to 
recall that several years ago there were those on the list who said that CS is 
effective, as prevention and cure for malaria.  Can somebody recall other 
comments?  I'm now a little confused?
 
About MMS, isn't this an organic form of sulfur, similar to DMSO?  Or am I 
mistaken?  How would one take the MMS?  Would DMSO also work?  Please help me 
out on this, since I'm anticipating travel to a malarial area.

2008-03-27 Thread Dianne France
NEWS RELEASE FROM THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY:
Catnip Repels Mosquitoes More Effectively Than DEET 

CHICAGO, August 27, 2001 - Researchers report that nepetalactone, the essential 
oil in catnip that gives the plant its characteristic odor, is about ten times 
more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET - the compound used in most 
commercial insect repellents. 
The finding was reported today at the 222nd national meeting of the American 
Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, by the same Iowa 
State University research group that two years ago discovered that catnip also 
repels cockroaches. 

Entomologist Chris Peterson, Ph.D., with Joel Coats, Ph.D., chair of the 
university's entomology department, led the effort to test catnip's ability to 
repel mosquitoes. Peterson, a former post-doctoral research associate at the 
school, is now with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Wood 
Products Insects Research Unit, in Starkville, Miss. 
While they used so-called yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) - one of 
several species of mosquitoes found in the United States - Peterson says catnip 
should work against all types of mosquitoes. 

Aedes aegypti, which can carry the yellow fever virus from one host to another, 
is found in most parts of the United States. Yellow fever itself, however, only 
occurs in Africa and South America, according to the Centers for Disease 
Control. Vaccines and mosquito control programs have essentially wiped out the 
disease in the United States, although there have been isolated reports of 
unvaccinated travelers returning with the disease. The last reported outbreak 
in this country was in 1905. 
Peterson put groups of 20 mosquitoes in a two-foot glass tube, half of which 
was treated with nepetalactone. After 10 minutes, only an average of 20 percent 
- about four mosquitoes - remained on the side of the tube treated with a high 
dose (1.0 percent) of the oil. In the low-dose test (0.1 percent) with 
nepetalactone, an average of 25 percent - five mosquitoes - stayed on the 
treated side. The same tests with DEET (diethyl-m-toluamide) resulted in 
approximately 40 percent to 45 percent - eight-nine mosquitoes - remaining on 
the treated side. 

In the laboratory, repellency is measured on a scale ranging from +100 percent, 
considered highly repellent, to -100 percent, considered a strong attractant. A 
compound with a +100 percent repellency rating would repel all mosquitoes, 
while -100 percent would attract them all. 
A rating of zero means half of the insects would stay on the treated side and 
half on the untreated side. In Peterson's tests, catnip ranged from +49 percent 
to +59 percent at high doses, and +39 percent to +53 percent at low doses. By 
comparison, at the same doses, DEET's repellency was only about +10 percent in 
this bioassay, he notes. 
Peterson says nepetalactone is about 10 times more effective than DEET because 
it takes about one-tenth as much nepetalactone as DEET to have the same effect. 

Most commercial insect repellents contain about 5 percent to 25 percent DEET. 
Presumably, much less catnip oil would be needed in a formulation to have the 
same level of repellency as a DEET-based repellent. 
Why catnip repels mosquitoes is still a mystery, says Peterson. It might 
simply be acting as an irritant or they don't like the smell. But nobody really 
knows why insect repellents work. 

No animal or human tests are yet scheduled for nepetalactone, although Peterson 
is hopeful that will take place in the future. 
If subsequent testing shows nepetalactone is safe for people, Peterson thinks 
it would not be too difficult to commercialize it as an insect repellent. 
Extracting nepetalactone oil from catnip is fairly easily, he says. Any high 
school science lab would have the equipment to distill this, and on the 
industrial scale it's quite easy. 

Catnip is a perennial herb belonging to the mint family and grows wild in most 
parts of the United States, although it also is cultivated for commercial use. 
Catnip is native to Europe and was introduced to this country in the late 18th 
century. It is primarily known for the stimulating effect it has on cats, 
although some people use the leaves in tea, as a meat tenderizer and even as a 
folk treatment for fevers, colds, cramps and migraines. 
A patent application for the use of catnip compounds as insect repellents was 
submitted last year by the Iowa State University Research Foundation. Funding 
for the research was from the Iowa Agriculture Experiment Station. 

Chris Peterson, Ph.D., is a former post-doctoral research associate at Iowa 
State University in Ames, Iowa, and is now a Research Entomologist with the 
U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Wood Products Insect Research 
Service, in Starkville, Miss. 
Joel R. Coats, Ph.D., is professor of entomology and toxicology and Chair of 
the Department of Entomology at Iowa State University in

Re: CSCS - malaria - and MMS

I think your memory of CS working against malaria may come from some of my
older posts, regarding how effective CS is working against Dengue Fever,
which is a close relative of malaria, and is also mosquito borne.

I lived in Southern Mexico, and I've had the dreaded Dengue at least 25
times. But I did not have a single case for the seven years I took CS
(Microdyn at 90 ppm) on a daily basis.  However,  I stopped the CS after my
nails turned blue (from using an off-brand product, not Microdyn) and
caught my first case of Dengue in seven years.  This occurred several years
ago. 

CS both prevents and quickly cures Dengue.  I also believe it also
prevents/cures malaria, but do not have any proof, since I've never
contracted malaria.

I also believe I've read posts about the World Health Organization (or some
such international body) testing CS against malaria in West Africa, but
haven't read any followup posts regarding the effectiveness of CS against
malaria.

MMS and DMSO have nothing to do with each other. MMS is sodium chlorite, 
which converts to chlorous acid when it encounters an acid, that then 
slowly breaks down into chlorine dioxide, one of the most powerful 
antimicrobials there is.

Extracting nepetalactone oil from catnip is fairly easily, he says. Any high 
school science lab would have the equipment to distill this, and on the 
industrial scale it's quite easy. 

  Catnip is a perennial herb belonging to the mint family and grows wild in 
most parts of the United States, although it also is cultivated for commercial 
use. Catnip is native to Europe and was introduced to this country in the late 
18th century. It is primarily known for the stimulating effect it has on cats, 
although some people use the leaves in tea, as a meat tenderizer and even as a 
folk treatment for fevers, colds, cramps and migraines. 
  A patent application for the use of catnip compounds as insect repellents was 
submitted last year by the Iowa State University Research Foundation. Funding 
for the research was from the Iowa Agriculture Experiment Station.

Hi again,
 
Thanks to all for the suggestion, on MMS for malaria, etc., but I seem 
to recall that several years ago there were those on the list who said that CS 
is effective, as prevention and cure for malaria.  Can somebody recall other 
comments?  I'm now a little confused?
 
About MMS, isn't this an organic form of sulfur, similar to DMSO?  Or 
am I mistaken?  How would one take the MMS?  Would DMSO also work?  Please help 
me out on this, since I'm anticipating travel to a malarial area.

...you're mixing up MMS with MSM.

get some MMS to take with you travelling.  read up on using it.
you can put a few drops in water to purify it as needed.  just tell customs
it's a water purifier and disinfectant.
probably want to take some citric acid too.

 MMS and DMSO have nothing to do with each other. MMS is sodium chlorite,
 which converts to chlorous acid when it encounters an acid, that then
 slowly breaks down into chlorine dioxide, one of the most powerful
 antimicrobials there is.
