"after their biochemical activity they will transform into approximately 0.5 millimoles of sodium chloride"] [How was assumption reached since absorption rate not deduced? "absorption by the vessels blood would transfer Chlorine Dioxide, more quickly", particularly when document says "with the use of CDI there is no discussion that how it enters the circulatory system"?] [Actually, amount safe to inhale differs from amount safe to ingest, since absorption routes and rates are different "usual daily dose of 30 mg...evaporating... throughout a day"] [Current US EPA standards specify acute oral LD50 (which applies for a single day & may not for consecutive days} to be 292 mg/kg.

Mechanism of reaction of chlorite with mammalian heme peroxidases - ScienceDirect
**** "This study demonstrates that heme peroxidases from different superfamilies react differently with chlorite. In contrast to plant peroxidases..." "Data about potential chlorite actions under pathological conditions like cardiovascular diseases, where MPO is known for their adverse effects [54], [55], are lacking. In therapeutic use, other possible chlorite effects are modulation and stimulation of immune responses [56], activation of macrophage functions [40], the stimulation of killer cell cytotoxicity [57], methemoglobin formation [44] and formation of chlorine dioxide. The later species has strong anti-microbial properties [58] and can be also derived from one-electron oxidation of chlorite by Compounds I and II of MPO or LPO. At inflammatory sites, the likelihood for the aforementioned chlorite activity might be increased considering enhanced levels of hydrogen peroxide at these sites. Taken together, chlorite can principally cause a number of divergent effects upon its application."

Use of WF10 for treating allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis - Nuvo Research AG
The present invention provides a method of treating or inhibiting at least one of allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, or of reducing, inhibiting or treating allergy like symptoms
****!!!!******** "While a wide range of oral sodium chlorite regi-mens have been used, the most popular are between 0.75 and 1.5 mg/kg given over 2 – 7 days in a row, followed by a rest period of 7 – 16 days, then repeat-ing (17,25,26). Importantly, it has never been shown that oral sodium chlorite can be absorbed at levels that affect human macrophage function. In rats given radiolabeled chlorite, 34% of the initial dose can be found excreted in the urine over the next 72 h (27). However, in monkeys, chlorite is neutralized in saliva within 1 min and by gastric fl uid in vivo in 5 min (28). Keuhne, one of the world ’ s experts on WF10, states that he studied oral WF10 and found that it “ can act on these mechanisms only intravenously, not orally ” (29). Furthermore, there are data that raise concerns about the safety of oral sodium chlo-rite. According to McGrath and Keuhne, sodium chlorite is converted under acidic conditions (such as those in the stomach) to chlorine dioxide, which can be poisonous (12,29). While a small, short- duration study failed to show evidence of oral chlo-rite toxicity in humans (30), Keuhne stopped his research on oral WF10 “ after two patients collapsed and one nearly died ” while taking it (29)"

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF MACROPHAGE-RELATED DISORDERS patent
including Tetrachlorodecaoxide (TCDO) and WF10. "This study demonstrated that WF10 at
a dose of 0.5 ml/kg was associated with a sustained immunological response, i.e., sustained
elevation of CD8+ T cell numbers, consistent with the proposed mechanism of action. Furthermore,
a single-center, phase I/II study, was conducted in 1997 to evaluate safety and the effects of WF10" "After interaction with heme proteins, the chlorite matrix of WF10 acquires oxidizing and chlorinating properties. It has been suggested that WF10 exerts potent immunomodulatory effects most likely through generating physiologic oxidative compounds namely chloramines. Chloramines have been reported to exert cell-protective and anti-inflammatory activities. [0082] Pro-oxidative substances can also have a direct effect on transcriptional activities of the NFAT species of transcription factors."

Randomized phase 2 trial of NP001, a novel immune regulator--Safety and early efficacy in ALS
"NP001, a pH-adjusted IV formulation of purified Sodium Chlorite, is a novel moleculethat regulates inflammation in vitro andin vivo. Within monocytes/ macrophages, chlorite is converted into taurine chloraminethat downregulates nuclear factorkB(NF-kB) expression and inhibits production of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1b. These mechanisms of downregulation trans-form inflammatory monocytes/macrophagesfrom a proinflammatory to a basal phagocyticstate." "NP001 was generally safe and well-tolerated, except for infusion site pain anddizziness. No significant slowing of decline in the primary or secondary measures was observed.However, slowing of progression was observed in the high-dose group inpatients with greaterinflammation (wide range C-reactive protein). Moreover, NP001 may have dose dependently halted symptom progression in a subset of patients. More than 2 times as many patients on high-dose NP001 (25%) did not progress during 6 months of treatment compared with thoseon placebo (11%). Most “responders”had an elevated biomarker of inflammation, interleukin-18,and were positive for lipopolysaccharide at baseline, which decreased after treatment with NP001."
Effects of WF10 [chlorine dioxide] on Glycosaminoglycan Sulphation in Proinflammatory Monocytes and Macrophages
"The drug substance WF10 inhibited the activation of LPS/IFNγ-stimulated humanmonocyte-derived macrophages. Among them are the diminished expression ofproinflammatory surface markers, the inhibition of the expression of the hyaluronanreceptor CD44, and the binding of hyaluronan to CD44. Further, the overall amountof sulphated proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans was down-regulated by WF10.These in vitro experiments indicate that WF10 is able to inhibit the proinflammatory activation of macrophages. The results suggested that chlorite is the active principle inWF10 as chlorite caused principally the same changes in targets as WF10. The WF10 component chlorate inhibited only the overall sulphation level of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans and the binding of hyaluronan to CD44."

** {Incomplete perspective: "Chlorine Dioxide in contact with the air becomes inactivated and becomes two gases Chlorine and Oxygen, so it has no disinfectant properties, and could not serve to disinfect the air we breathe." Actually, under appropriate conditions, chlorine dioxide can be used very powerfully for disinfecting air, because dissociation is only gradual.} {Article has some other inaccuracies, along with many correct important points.}

Pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of infectious diseases ~Patent application, Andreas Kalcker
The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the parenteral treatment of infectious diseases, based on an aqueous, sterile and pyrogen-free solution of chlorine dioxide, the 5 to 1000 mg / l (ppm) of dissolved chlorine dioxide (CIO2) and 3 to 10 g / l of a ionic tonicity regulator, optionally in combination with a non-ionic tonicity regulator. The composition preferably also contains a pH regulator, in particular a pH buffer system adjusted to pH 7.3-7.5, and may further *****contain DMSO or MSM. The composition is free from chlorate ions, hydrochloric acid and gaseous chlorine in t... "Above all, the advantage of a high-purity CDL is that the possibility of any undesirable effects, which are described for Na-chlorite and above all for Na-chlorate in the specialist literature, is reduced even further, which is especially true for formulations and compositions is of particular importance, which should be used as infusion solutions or injection solutions. A composition according to the invention which, in addition to external, topical application, should be suitable above all for systemic, parenteral applications in the form of injection or infusion solutions,"
