Chlorine Dioxide Odor-Removal Products

A company who manufactures odor-removing products reported a 20% increase in sales of their car odor-removing product, the autoVACCINE.

The company’s CEO was quoted as stating that people like the product because it’s affordable, effective, and adaptable to a variety of circumstances.

““The great thing about autoVACCINE is that it is such a versatile product. Not only does it remove the smell of mildew it also removes smoke and pet’s odors, while creating a clean and sterile environment for our customers and their families.”

The product uses chlorine dioxide gas to neutralize odors in stinky vehicles.

Quoting the article, “The non-toxic, chlorine dioxide vapors released by Biocide System’s products move through the air and penetrate porous surfaces including car fabrics, leathers and vinyl.”

Sounds familiar…

Apparently the autoVACCINE products are quite cheap as well, going for $24.95 at their website. It doesn’t look like they have product pictures, but the products themselves sound very good. They say that they have a technology that allows for chlorine dioxide to be generated instantly by adding a packet to a cup of water.

It sounds remarkably close to the process involved in activating miracle mineral supplementch. I’m only guessing, but their products may indeed be a two-part capsule which keeps sodium chlorite or sodium chlorate powder separated from citric or another acid. The capsule then dissolves or separates in water, mixing the compounds and creating chlorine dioxide on demand.

I wonder if they have ever heard of MMS?

Their website has some information on oxidation and chlorine dioxide. It sounds like a great product and they guarantee them to work.

Tally up another great use for chlorine dioxide.

Excellent Story About Rat Lung and Miracle Mineral Supplement

A relatively unknown and powerful parasitic disease has established itself on the islands of Hawaii. The pathogen is known as the rat lungworm, or rat lung disease.

The worms spread through slugs and snails eating rat feces carrying larvae. Rats then eat the infected snails and slugs, and the worms mature to finish the cycle. Not appetizing, I know, but we’re talking about a pathogen, and this is the kind of environment that they like to spend time in.

The symptoms are much like meningitis, and while most literature says that it is unusual for humans to be infected, and most easily recover, an internet search points to a seriuos outbreak of rat lung in Hawaii that goes beyond the scope of the literature. Hawaiian press reports going back several months have documented the spread of the disease, particularly on the big island.

Big Island Weekly ran a story written by a mother whose son almost died from the disease. She states that she has talked to people who have contracted rat lung by handling snails or slugs, eating food with slug slime on it, and other subtle ways. This does not sound like the ‘unusual circumstances’ that the CDC claims are necessary for a human to contract the disease.

The author criticizes the government of Hawaii for doing so little to address the increase in rat lung cases, and advocates for more action to help educate Hawaiians and prevent further spread of the disease. She poses a number of questions that the government needs to address, and among them, she asks,

“What can we soak our vegetables and fruits in that will kill the parasite and for how long? As many people use the following, please include testing salt water, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, grapefruit seed extract, and miracle mineral supplement (MMS or chlorine dioxide).”

The author of this story is certainly tuned in to the pulse of miracle mineral supplement. Her suggestion to use MMS as a food soak to kill pathogens is right on point. There is a good probability that she came to learn about MMS through her ordeal with her son when he contracted rat lung disease.

It is a wonderful thing to see the author calling for governmenta action to educated people on prevention, and including chlorine dioxide and miracle mineral supplement as potential solutions to the problem.

Chlorine Dioxide Gets Environmentalists Off The Paper Industry’s Back

A recent story from ICIS on the positive outlook of the paper industry makes mention of chlorine dioxide as the current oxidizer of choice for paper makers. The industry as a whole turned away from chlorine in the 1990s and now uses chlorine dioxide for the majority of their processing needs.

Quoting the article: “While the paper and paper chemical industries have been historically under pressure from green groups, this has subsided in recent years, observes TAPPI. There have been no considerable environmental and/or chemical issues since the late 1990s, when the industry stopped using elemental chlorine-based bleaching and switched to the chlorine dioxide-based bleaching used now. Consequently, there are no real or pressing legislative pressures on the paper industry.”

A decade of legislative and environmental smooth sailing for the paper industry… This is at least a bit misleading, because this same decade has seen an overwhelming takeover of federal policy by special interest lobbyists, so this smooth sailing is at least in part due to the softening of government regulation over big industry domestically.

However, credit must be given to the paper industry for making the switch to chlorine dioxide. If you read our site you know that one of the greatest advantages of chlorine dioxide over elemental chlorine products is the absence of trihalomethane byproducts when using chlorine dioxide. With the amount of processing done by the paper industry, using bleach was a disastrous environmental choice, undoubtably releasing lots and lots of trihalomethanes into the bioshere. Chlorine dioxide does not create THMs when it oxidizes organic matter. Problem solved.

Florist Industry Uses Chlorine Dioxide!

Perishable News recently carried a story called Best Practices For Fresh Cut Flowers. The article details several practices that professional florists abide by in their daily business. And wouldn’t you know it, the floral industry uses chlorine dioxide!

The article recommends that florists regularly change their disinfectant solution used for sterilizing equipment. This includes everything from buckets to tabletops to sissors to coolers! Sure enough, listed among common disinfectants used by florists is chlorine dioxide. The article states that florists should change their disinfectant between handling of different batches and types of flowers. This sounds very much like the procedures that butchers and fish markets adhere to, with sandardized cleaning and sterilizing procedures in place. The article also mentions an interesting product which I had never heard of before reading about it here, and that is chlorine dioxide releasing paper! Apparently this paper is used as a liner in flower boxes and storage containers and cuts down on botrytis, a deadly plant fungus that florists have to fight. Apparently this chlorine dioxide ‘impregnated’ paper is a staple product for more than just flower growers, as well. You know that wad of paper stuffed into the toes of new shoes? Apparently that’s the same stuff, and it’s there to cut down on stinky feet fungus from people trying the shoes on. Who knew? One of the big players in this world of chlorine dioxide impregnated paper is Floralife, who makes a paper called TransportCARE. The paper has ‘compounds’ which release chlorine dioxide when exposed to humidity. Very interesting. It’s often fascinating to read about the intricacies of a particular profession and realize how complicated it is, even though to outward appearances it seems simple. And who would have thought that MMS and florists have something in common? We have written about MMS and plant care in our free report on MMS home uses.

US and EU squabble over chlorine dioxide in poultry processing

We love chlorine dioxide here at getMMS. We don’t talk about it nearly as much as we should, considering that chlorine dioxide is the meat and potatoes of the miracle mineral supplement process. We love chlorine dioxide because it’s a good alternative to things like bleach, which are much more unfriendly to human beings than MMS.

But we’re not the only ones who like chlorine dioxide. In fact, there is a group of people who like it just as much as we do, believe it or not: chicken farmers. That’s right, chicken farmers.

If you’ve read our site or other blog sites we have around the web, you know that poultry farmers like to use chlorine dioxide for sanitizing their processing equipment and keeping their meat products free of pathogens.

The story goes that the European Union has been cleaning their processed poultry with several different antimicrobial agents for the last decade or so. You will note that chlorine bleach is NOT one of those agents – but chlorine dioxide most certainly IS one of those agents.

As a side note here, many countries in Europe and elsewhere in the world gave up on chlorinating their water supplies years ago and now use chlorine dioxide because it does not create trihalomethanes, which are nasty cancer-causing compounds that are made when chlorine interacts with organic matter.

The United States, in our infinite wisdom, still chlorinates its water. There really is no need for it. There are much safer, cleaner, and equally effective ways of keeping the drinking water supply free of pathogens. And, you guessed it, one of these ways is using chlorine dioxide.

Back to the story: in a nuteshell, the United States processes a good bit of its poultry with chlorinated water, and the US poultry people want to sell their products to Europe, and Europe is refusing because they don’t like chlorinated chickens.

The US farmers say they’re missing out on about $300 million in market share because of this refusal, and they are taking it to the WTO.

Perhaps if they simply changed their sanitation practices to using chlorine dioxide, they could more effectively negotiate a deal with the chlorine-fearing European Union. I can’t imagine it would cost the industry more than $300 million to change over to chlorine dioxide sanitation practices. They already use chlorine dioxide in many poultry processing applications here in the United States. They must really like chlorinated water.

I think the conclusion to be made is that the big bosses of the US poultry industry need to try some MMS. Once they’ve used it, I’m sure they’ll come around. The miracle mineral supplement meets the movers and shakers of the poultry industry. It’s a match made in heaven.

The moral of the story: chlorine dioxide is better than chlorine. It’s safer, cleaner, and much more friendly to the human and global ecosystem. And you don’t scare away European poultry farmers with it.
