What is Chlorine Dioxide “CDS”?
CDS is a concentrated aqueous solution at 0.3% (3000 ppm) of chlorine dioxide, free of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) and with a neutral pH.
According to in vitro and in vivo studies, chlorine dioxide in CDS form is broken down in the body into salt (in minimal quantities) and oxygen. Therefore, CDS is able to increase blood oxygen levels.
What is Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine dioxide is a chemical substance commonly used for drinking water treatment. It is used to eliminate pathogens present in water. The FDA, WHO, and other agencies worldwide have approved its use in drinking water due to its safety and effectiveness.
It is important to distinguish between gas and aqueous solution: as a gas it can be dangerous because it is reactive in air; in water it is not reactive and is naturally absorbed up to 0.3%.
The Facts
It is not chlorine (Cl2), bleach, hypochlorite (NaClO), or sodium chlorite (NaClO2), nor does it contain them. It is not MMS, CD, or a mixture of 2 components; it is only pure chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in water.
Chlorine dioxide is produced in different ways and the result is not the same. Unlike a mixture containing Sodium Chlorite (NaClO2) with an acid, also known as MMS, which can cause stomach discomfort, CDS does not contain sodium chlorite and therefore produces no by-products when used dissolved in water.
Is CDS Toxic?
According to toxicology, all substances can be toxic, depending on quantity, duration, and concentration. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes a toxicity of 292 mg/kg, which is similar to the toxicity of caffeine.
This means that a 70 kg person would need to consume 20,440 mg of a gas dissolved in water over 14 days. With a concentration of 30 mg in 1 liter of water, which is the standard daily dose, one would need to consume 681.33 liters per day. Therefore, intoxication is considered impossible.
The Main Advantage of CDS
The main advantage of chlorine dioxide in CDS form is its neutral pH and safety. Unlike other chlorine-based products (Cl2), chlorine dioxide does not produce toxic and carcinogenic trihalomethanes (THMs) and is considered ideal for eliminating all types of pathogens.
CDS eliminates bacteria, viruses, fungi, and prions through oxidation, as happens in our body with macrophages, and not through intoxication like antibiotics.
