The Process.
Volatility is what makes chlorine dioxide
so effective when it contacts pathogens. As we’ve mentioned, chlorine
dioxide is a safe and effective disinfectant in many municipal water
delivery systems, hospitals, and even in bioterrorism response. It stands
to reason that chlorine dioxide would be just as effective working in the
waters of the human body.
Chlorine dioxide’s extreme volatility prevents pathogens from developing a
resistance. Mainly because when they “clash,” the pathogens no longer
exist. Yet, healthy cells and beneficial bacteria are unaffected.
While normal levels of oxygen in the blood cannot destroy all of the
pathogens present under disease conditions, delivery of chlorine dioxide
changes everything.
When a chlorine dioxide ion contacts a harmful pathogen, it instantly rips
up to five electrons from the pathogen, in what can be likened to a
microscopic explosion… harmless to us, but terminal for pathogens.
The pathogen – an electron donor – is rendered harmless due to the
involuntary surrendering of its electrons to the chlorine dioxide – an
electron acceptor – and the resulting release of energy. Oxidized by the
chlorine ion, the former pathogen becomes a harmless salt.
This process benefits a body that has become toxic.
Throughout the body, anywhere chlorine dioxide ions – transported via red
blood cells – come in contact with pathogens, the pathogens give up their
electrons and cease to exist. The chlorine dioxide armed cells only
“detonate” on contact with pathogens, which include harmful bacteria,
viruses, toxins, heavy metals, and parasites. All of these will have pH
values that are out of the body’s range of good health. They will also
have a positive ionic charge. The chlorine dioxide equipped cells do not
oxidize beneficial bacteria, or healthy cells, as their pH levels are 7 or
above, and hold a negative ion charge.
Chlorine dioxide ions will oxidize – meaning vaporize – diseased cells…
anything that is acidic, with a positive ion charge.
If the chlorine dioxide ions encounter no pathogens or other poisons, it
deteriorates into table salt and in some instances, hypochlorous acid,
which the body can also use.
A Pathogen Terminator
Research has proven chlorine dioxide to be much safer than chlorine, as it
is selective for pathogens when used in water. Furthermore, it does not
create harmful compounds from other constituents in the water as chlorine
does.
Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated that chlorine – part of the
halogen family of elements – creates as least three carcinogenic compounds
when it enters the body, principally trihalomethanes (THMs). There has
been no such evidence of harmful compounds being produced from chlorine
dioxide.
This is why, in 1999, the American Society of Analytical Chemists
proclaimed chlorine dioxide to be the most powerful pathogen killer known
to man. It has even been used to clean up after anthrax attacks..
