Hi Leslie, It's sort of like Clorox. It's used to bleach wood pulp (paper) and flour to make them white. It's also used to disinfect drinking water. It's my understanding that MMS or Miracle Mineral Supplement is chlorine dioxide. It turns into a toxic gas at 52 degrees Fahrenheit so I'm not sure how people take it. Maybe someone else can explain it?

Sounds risky to me.

Inhalation can produce coughing, wheezing, respiratory distress, and congestion in the lungs [Patnaik 1992]. Irritating effects in humans was intense at concentration levels of 5 ppm. Accidental exposure at 19 ppm of the gas inside a bleach tank resulted in the death of one worker (time of exposure is not specified) [ACGIH 1991]. Workers exposed for 5 years to average chlorine dioxide concentrations below 0.1 ppm but with excursions to higher concentrations had symptoms of eye and throat irritation, nasal discharge, cough, and wheezing; on bronchoscopy, bronchitis was observed in seven of the 12 workers [Clayton and Clayton 1982]. Concentrations of 0.25 ppm and less have been reported to worsen mild respiratory ailments [ACGIH 1991]. Two adults who ingested 250 ml of a 40 mg/l solution of chlorine dioxide experienced headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and lightheadedness within 5! minutes of ingestion. The symptoms disappeared within another 5 minutes [NLM > > http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/healthguidelines/chlorinedioxide/recognition.html#healthhazard > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
