However I do have some concerns.
Seems at least 1 person has died using MMS. Although it looks like it may have been an issue with combining with other drugs, to create a toxin. This case is shrouded in controversy as well. So obviously be careful when taking MMS in conjunction with other drugs...

Because chlorine dioxide is not patented (as far as i can tell) and any chemical manufacturer seemingly can create MMS, this presents the issue of quality control, so I would be very wary of where exactly you get your MMS from.
As sam said, source would be nice here Bill. According to this study, as well as a few others, chlorine dioxide can and does significant damage to animals at
high concentrations though. Does anyone know what the concentration in MMS 1&2 of chlorine dioxide are?
"Oral administration of chlorite (14-16) to mice was shown to increase mean corpuscular volume, osmotic fragility, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of erythrocytes; morphologic changes were reported. In the African Green monkey,
chlorine dioxide adversely affected thyroid function; chlorite ingestion yielded transient changes in hemoglobin levels and red cell count (17). The maternal toxicity, embryonic toxicity and the teratogenic potential of concentrations of sodium chlorite was evaluated in rats (18). (

Personally I can buy the story of how chlorine dioxide kills pathogens via oxidation and doesn't harm other body tissues at low concentrations. However again I have other concerns.
The average human being has anywhere between 3-4lbs (1.4-1.8kg) of bacteria and microorganisms living inside their bodies chiefly in the intestine and on the skin. These bacteria (also called pro biotic bacteria) are extremely important for human health and wellbeing. They are
responsible for "perform a host of useful functions, such as fermenting unused energy substrates, training the immune system, preventing growth of harmful, pathogenic bacteria,[2] regulating the development of the gut, producing vitamins for the host (such as biotin and vitamin K), and producing hormones to direct the host to store fats." These little critters also produce enzymes helping you break down your food. Humans form a positive mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with these little guys.
There are close to 500 different species of microorganisms/bacteria living within you that have a combined genetic length 100x greater than that of the human genome. For every 1 of your own human body cells containing your personal genetic material, there is 10 of them!!! Thats right bacteria outnumber you in and on your own body 10 to 1. The joke among some scientists being that bacteria evolved humans to carry them around. ;)
Now my question and concern is, how does chlorine dioxide one of the most potent disinfectants known to man, only kill the small number of bad guys within your body and not the legions of good guys?? I take great care in consuming pre and probiotics for culturing the flora within my intestine. I cherish the relationship with the 500+ species of little guys living inside me. My gut goes severely out of whack if I don't take care of them. If MMS acts like a broad spectrum antibiotic,
this seriously concerns me.
I can understand the bio electrochemical mechanism at work in regards to chlorine dioxide and how it could kill pathogens and viruses.....but curing cancer and healing burn victims is extremely questionable and I still think it may be the placebo effect in those cases. Unless someone does a double blind study and explains the mechanism at work to me.
As well something else to keep in mind, if MMS does work and kills pathogens/parasites, and someone is loaded full of various different pathogens/parasites, killing them would take a definitive load of the immune system and it could give the body the ability to cure cancer itself. Thus MMS itself may not cure cancer directly but as a side effect only. Compound and secondary effects need to be taken into consideration as well.
