Chlorine dioxide is a gas and toothpaste is not ever gaseous that I have seen. Sodium chlorite which combines with saliva to form trace amounts of chlorine dioxide is what is in toothpaste. It kind-of works. However, when a good dose of chlorine dioxide would be useful in the morning when one first awakes, the mouth is fairly basic pH. Later in the day, after one has eaten, the mouth is more acidic. Of course the act of eating and drinking helps oral malodor. In summary; When you need it most, it doesn’t help very much. When you don’t need it very much it works a lot better.

Works kind of like a bank!

Mixing 28% sodium chlorite and various fruit juices (MMS) cannot be precise. Being imprecise may be OK. I am not familiar enough with the protocol to know whether actually knowing how much chlorine dioxide one is imbibing is of value or not.
2. One of the claimed benefits of XiniX-KlearWater products is actually knowing what the measured dose of chlorine dioxide will be. For some applications, I infer from the protocol, that it is not particularly important, within limits, to know how much chlorine dioxide is produced, only that chlorine dioxide IS produced.
3. KlearWater is at a safe .15% chlorine dioxide concentration. We do not regard competing non-MMS mixed products as safe. In our opinion 2% chlorine dioxide is not safe for children (eyes, skin, imbibed).
3. The claimed concentration for the MMS concentrate, when mixed with juice, is so low it is hard to imagine it would be effective. However, in the previous blog posting, I gave what I believe to be the mxing instructions for what I saw.
I do not think it is wise for me to blog any further with respect to the MMS. I can only relate our chemistry to what I extracted from the MMS website. If you wish to discuss further, please call through the contact information on www.klearwater.com.

Good luck to MMS, I sincerely hope they have found the breakthrough they have claimed for third world medicine. It would certainly relieve a lot of human misery if they have. ]]> Klearwater Q&A http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=9 Wed, 8 Jul 2009 13:01:36 -0400 http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=8
The protocol say 3 mg ClO2 to "get things started" and then 1 mg ClO2 for each of 12 hours.

KlearWater contains 1500 ppm pure active ClO2.

The 1 ml measuring spoon that comes with KlearWater 30/32 would contain 1.5 mg ClO2.

Therefore the 3 mg specified dose would be two measuring spoons of KlearWater. If added to, for instance, 1 liter of pure water then one would ingest 3 mg ClO2 after imbibing.

2/3 measuring spoon would yield 1 mg ClO2. Add to water, as above.

These methods would be much more precise than using acidic juice to activate 28% sodium chlorite solution (claimed active ingredient in MMS)

I hope this answers the questions. As stated above, I can only answer issues related chemical concentrations. Please refer MMS questions directly to the experts. ]]> Klearwater Q&A http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=8 Mon, 6 Jul 2009 17:27:47 -0400 http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=7
>>Gum Disease- The same bacteria that causes halitosis in the oral cavity can cause gum disease. Dental plaque, a biofilm, contains this bacteria. When below the gum line, the bacteria can irritate and harm gum tissue. Without healthy gums, breath can really suffer.
>>>>Brush, floss, use a chlorine dioxide-based oral rinse, see a dental professional
>>Food Smells- Recent studies indicate that some foods release chemicals that travel through the blood stream and then are released through the lungs. For instance, garlic releases sulfur compounds when digested that can travel to the lungs and be exhaled up to 3 hours later. Exhaling the smell of alcohol can sometimes work exactly the same way! Cabbage is another offender.
>>>Avoid these foods unless you love them more than your breath.
>>Disease- Kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes, respiratory infection can all cause breath odor. Also, there is a link between Helicobacter phlori, a bacteria in the stomach that can cause ulcers, and bad breath. This odor can persist even when a good anti-bacterial mouthwash is used.
>>>See a professional and correct the root cause of these problems.
>>Dry Mouth- A dry mouth can cause oral malodor like “morning mouth.” Bacteria and dead cells can accumulate on the tongue and teeth.
>>>Remember, never use an alcohol-based mouth rinse. Chlorine dioxide-based rinses do not contain alcohol that dries the mouth.
>>Tobacco- Tobacco use contributes to odor causing problems like dry mouth and gum disease. Do you really have to be told not to smoke in 2009?
Got a breath question? Send a reply and I will try to answer your question.

Thanks for asking, Ed, I now get to do a commercial.
>Shelf Life- We have materially improved the shelf life which seemed to be our #1 complaint. If refrigerated when not in use, KW lasts indefinitely. However, unrefrigerated, to maintain original potency, the shelf life was nominally 6 months (although many people have reported life in excess). We have improved the shelf life by a factor of 3 to 4, e. g. if the old shelf life was 6 months then it will now be 18 to 24 months. Aslo remember that product that is refrigerated for long periods of time (years) tends to become more fragile. By that I mean when opened and then kept in normal ambient temperatures it may lose potency.
>Reliability- This means two things to me--reliability of supply and reliability in terms of repeatability of our process. Certainly reliability of supply will be 100% when our SoCal manufacturing is finalized. Reliability of process will surely be as good or better than it has ever been. The new formulation process is inherently more reliable in my opinion.
>Potency- We will still maintain the same band of potency in the future; .15% to .17% pure active chlorine dioxidein deionized water.
BTW, Ed, we aim to continuously improve our products!!

It is alleged by several sources on the net that the pill is not effective for biofilm. Most of the of the pathogens in water that affect humans form biofilms and therefore it may be appropriate to research. I have not researched this personally.

In comparison to XiniX and KlearWater products, the pill;
>Is slow
>Can only be used to treat water, one liter at a time unless the pills can be broken somehow
>The foil pack is very hard to manipulate and open. Cannot imagine using it in bad weather, with gloves etc.
>Is not multi-use. One cannot wash hands, use for emergency wound treatment, clean medical instruments, clean fruits and vegetables, rinse the mouth etc. with a pill--unless a solultion could be produced with the pill and potable water and diluted to the correct concentration. Doesn't seem convenient but I am, of course, prejudiced!

The pill appears to be a good solution as emergency back-up and pilot's emergency pack but as a primary personal disinfectant system there are better solutions. Oh, BTW it tastes terrible unless the treated water is left to sit for a period of time. Our products improve taste or are virtually taste and odor free when used as directed. ]]> Klearwater Q&A http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=5 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:35:43 -0400 http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=4 Posted by Kris 04:22PM, 16/06/09

I believe the XiniX Oral Care product you used was sold, prescribed or given to you by the dental professionals that use the product. Oral Care products are usually used either as an adjunct for oral surgery, problem breath or sores of the mouth and lip. Oral care is also used for gingivitis/gum disease. We have no present plans to sell at retail however we do plan to sell our products direct and through dental professionals. This may change in the future. BTW, using KlearWater for oral treatments is OK however we do buffer the XiniX Oral Care to make it ideal for the application. Persons that use their KlearWater in the multi-use mode know that it is extremely effective particularly for breath, sores and, as proven by our extensive studies, cariogenic microorganisms.

During the first quarter of this year the ownership of XiniX and KlearWater changed. The company founders repurchased the exclusive right to produce and distribute world-wide. We are now finalizing our manufacturing process here in California. Our capacity will expand to reliably service our demand and the future certainly looks very, very bright. You will find our products evolved both in terms of efficacy and shelf life. Our customers spoke and we listened.

As many of you know, the more that consumers know about our proprietary single and multi-use products, the more they are appreciated for their unique ability to address difficult disinfection challenges. It is our intention to use this blog as an informational forum to expand product awareness.

I want to thank all our loyal customers who have stuck with us as we convert KlearWater and XiniX from niche products to mainstream broad spectrum biocides across a variety of applications.]]> Klearwater Q&A http://klearwater.com//blog//index.php?itemid=3 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:46:47 -0400
