US and EU squabble over chlorine dioxide in poultry processing

January 22nd, 2010 | 3 Comments | Posted in news

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.

You can learn more about how chlorine dioxide is made from the miracle mineral supplement by reading our exclusive report, MMS basics, located in the media section on our website.

MMS reports are online

October 20th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in mms

We recently published two reports on MMS. They are located in our site’s media section.

The first report is called ‘MMS 101′ and it explains the basics of using MMS: what it is, how it works, how to mix activator, and how to activate drops of MMS to use. It is a step-by-step guide on the basics of MMS use.

The second report is called ‘26 Great Home Uses For MMS.’ This is a great report that reveals how MMS can be used at home in dozens of ways. The report touches on 26 ways that MMS can be used to replace toxic home cleaners and other products. It also gives several unique tricks for using MMS as a bleach alternative. Don’t miss this one – it really shows how MMS can live up to its name as a miracle mineral.

Be on the lookout in the near future for upcoming reports.
