I would be careful with mms enema. It might effect your friendly bacteria and cause inflammation in your colon. What are you trying to accomplish with the mms enema?
This is my understanding (I could be wrong, I'm new to MMS so please correct if I'm wrong)
MMS has negatively charged ions like the healthy cells in our body, so will not affect our healthy cells or negatively charged aerobic bacteria - they repel. The beneficial bacteria are aerobic, carrying oxygen, while the harmful ones are anaerobic, binding to the stuff we need like minerals, vitamins, etc. When the negatively charged ions are attracted to the positive ions in the harmful pathogens, it oxidizes it, killing the pathogen and reducing the MMS molecules to scant amounts of salt.
So MMS will not destroy any oxygen carrying bacteria in your body, only the anaerobic pathogens that are positively charged.
Chlorous acid is formed when you add an acid to sodium chlorite.
Chlorous acid is also used to remove the flora from the skin as a surgical preparation. The skin flora is both beneficial and aerobic, however it is not something that you want to share with others when you stick your hands inside their body.
When comparing chlorine dioxide to chlorine, chlorine dioxide is call "selective" because it does not chlorinate. Chlorination involves attaching a chlorine atom to things it comes into contact with. Chlorine chlorinates and oxidizes where chlorine dioxide only oxidizes. The selective properties of chlorine dioxide have nothing to do with aerobic or anaerobic properties of pathogens, and everything to do with chlorination, or the lack of it when using chlorine dioxide.
Tom I'm sure there's more than just a few holes in my thinking.
Perhaps it's nothings to do with aerobic or anaerobic, but just the charge of the ions. I thought that the chlorate ion had a -1 charge (not that the molecule is charged), and the exchange of this ion depending on the charges are what oxidizes the pathogens instead of our healthy cells.
Also, our skin flora is made up of beneficial and what we consider "harmful" bacteria and yeasts, including staph, much like our gut (a balance of good and bad as seen throughout nature). You are saying the chlorous acid removes 100% of all skin flora upon contact, or they just use it to eliminate the unwanted ones like staph?
Anyway I'm in marketing multimedia not chemistry so don't waste your time trying to explain in detail what my little brain can't grasp. haha!
I just want to know is it true or untrue that MMS kills pathogens while leaving healthy cells and good bacteria? Or a little of both and we hope we have enough healthy cells to come out on top? :-)
I just used the MMS for an enema, too, and had what looks like mucus clumps come out. When I used it a while ago, I did have what looked like a parasite come out. I could what looked like the G.I. tract running through it.
