The oral administration of chlorate salts reduces "the numbers of Gram-negative pathogens in gastrointestinal tracts of live food animals." "these data indicate that broilers rapidly convert chlorate residues to an innocuous metabolite, chloride ion, and that chlorate residues in excreta remain fairly high during the time around slaughter. Because the target tissue of chlorate is the lower gastrointestinal tract, the relatively high distribution of parent chlorate to inedible gastrointestinal tissues and low distribution to edible tissues is favorable for the biological activity and for food safety considerations."

****!!!!****!!!!**** "deteriorating eyesight that may occur when using high doses of MMS for more than a few days." "Antioxidant deficiency is common with chronic diseases and advancing age. High intake or prolonged use of MMS will make this situation worse. Therefore it is important to increase antioxidant intake when using MMS. However, oxidants and antioxidants should be separated during the day or they may neutralize each other." "Because chlorine dioxide reacts especially well with vitamin C, it is advisable to take 1 gram or more when on a high dose of MMS for more than a few days to protect oxidation-sensitive structures, such as heart, brain and eyes." ******"technical sodium chlorite flakes containing 20% sodium chloride, while the MMS from StrideintoHealth (www.strideintohealth.com) is a pure sodium chlorite solution as used in the food industry. Nominally MMS is a 28% solution of the flakes but because of its high sodium chloride content the effective concentration of sodium chlorite is ****!!!!*** 22.4% which is the same in both products."
