Can one use chlorine dioxide as medicine? While the jury is still out on the use of chlorine dioxide as medicine, in the last few years, since the pandemic, the pharmaceutical companies have been firing off patent applications using chlorine dioxide to fight off everything from arthritis and emphysema to COVID-19 and beyond.
There is no doubt that chlorine dioxide has proven to be the most powerful pathogen killer known to man. It quickly and powerfully eliminates most, if not all, known harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, without harming the beneficial bacteria. It also breaks down biofilm, where pathogens hide and are not detected by other pathogen killers.
This ability to annihilate pathogens could be considered a powerful attribute to apply to medications whose purpose is to defeat viruses and disease in humans, just as well as it does on medical equipment, surfaces, and food and drink during processing. These pathogen exterminating characteristics of chlorine dioxide is why it is seen as such a proficient sanitary agent when applied to municipal water treatment.
And if the recent flood of activity at the United States Patent and Trademark Office is any indication, since the Coronavirus became a concern, and has grown into the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a swarm of activity with patents being applied for on a regular basis using chlorine dioxide as a pathogen-fighting component.
Interestingly, the swarms consist of smaller, independent pharmaceutical companies, as the biggest pharmaceuticals are veering away from this approach to dealing with disease, which may mean that medical schools may be unlikely to have access to this knowledge base.
In the meantime, regarding chlorine dioxide as medicine, we will have to wait to see if any of these new chlorine dioxide-powered drugs, treatments, and therapies will make their way to traditional therapeutic science.
C102 Chlorine Dioxide
The chemical compound c102 chlorine dioxide is produced by mixing two separate chemicals on site. In industrial sanitation applications, huge containers or 50-gallon drums of ingredients are kept from contacting each other, until the sanitizing agent is to be deployed, where they are mixed prior to dissemination, usually by spray.
On a smaller scale, the process can be witnessed in the case of c102 chlorine dioxide water purification drops. In this case, the travel kit contains one bottle of sodium chloride and one bottle of acid activator. Water purification drops are used by the military, research expeditions, outdoorsmen, campers, and hikers in the field to purify surface water prior to safe drinking.
This particular type of water purification is not only used in the outdoors and in survival training, but also for industrial food processing sanitization and municipal water treatment.
An example of the process in the action of using chlorine dioxide water purification drops in the field would be to put one drop of each together in a dry glass to form a water purifier (chlorine dioxide) as it changes to a light yellow to brownish color in 30 seconds it is ready to use. Pour the water you wish to purify into the glass and swirl to mix.
You will find specific use instructions on the back of the bottle which could vary according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and based on their formulation.
