Discussing equipment for making CDS - new method

Arrow, that's where the LaMotte ClO2 test strips come in!

My testing with equipment and solutions at about 70 degrees F for 12 hours measured 3000 ppm using 12 ml of MMS and 12 ml of 50% citric acid. Two other folks also measured the same. One other person needed a lot more than 12 ml of solutions to get 3000 ppm. You really need to measure what you get a few times, and then probably won't need to do that any more.

Be sure to use distilled water for making the CDS and for measuring the ppm using 1 ml of the CDS and 60 ml of DW.

If you get more or less than 3000 ppm when you measure the CDS, you can dose using the dosing chart or just keep increasing the dose until you fix the problem(s) or herx occurs. The latter is rare.

Good luck!

Hi Pam and JB13,

please confirm that the LaMotta (or other brand) of strips that we have to buy are for "Chlorine, Free, High Range" (Code # 3031, from Pam's above link) or the "Chlorine dioxide 3002". Please explain why do we measure the "Free chlorine" instead of "ClO2"?

In any case, if I understand what you previously wrote JB13, when we measure we have to get a result of "50" which we multiply with 60 to compare to the desired 3000ppm. (That is after we diluted the 1ml CDS in 60ml distilled water).

Thank you both! Thanks also to Arrow, you got great questions which required Pam's and JB13's answers.

Thanks Sofi and the product number for the test strips was going to be my next question!

also, didn't I read somewhere that some folks are using much higher ppm than 3,000, like up to 20,000? If so what might be the plusses or minuses of that? If 3,000 is more comprable to 6 drops of the regular mms Id be inclined to stick with that as in my experience it does the work, but Im just curious.

Sometimes less is more. I will say this. I have a condition similar to illitius and Ive been managing it now for about 6 or 7 years with different antiseptics.. grapefruit seed extract at first, then ozone gas topical applicaiton, and now mms. 3 drops of mms 3 x a day for 3 days last time I needed treatment has kept it at by now for over 1.5 years. The first time I used mms for it I did a full origianl protocol working up in drops 3 x day for a few weeks. That kept it at bay for over 2 years. The GSE and ozone gas only held the condtion back for 6 months and one year respectively.

I always stopped the mms because of revulsion and over the years the revulsion has increased. Thats way my last treatment was only 3 drops 3xd for 3 days. But it worked well anyway. I will be curious to see if the CDS, if I dont have revulsion problems, on a long term protocol can get rid of it permanently.

You are testing the chlorine dioxide, not the chlorine - the test strips come in a low range 0-10 and a high range 0-500. YOu need the 0-500 The test strips look l ike this






I got mine at WW Grainger

They've had them on Amazon (and probably ebay) if you look. Lamotte also has distributors in other countrires - although frequently the timing for posting is not good. They're also available at www.wps4sale.com
