The original methods for making MMS involve mixing concentrated solutions of sodium chlorite (the MMS) and an acid (such as citric acid), waiting a specified short time (such as 30 seconds, depending on concentrations), and then diluting the result immediately with water or unsweetened cranberry juice to stop the reaction.
As described on this forum in the thread MMS - tasteless and odourless. the new CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?35807-MMS-tasteless-and-odourless.-the-new-CDS--chlorine-dioxide-solution-&p=893651&viewfull=1#post893651), a second method for making the product has been developed over the last couple of years.
Recently, over the last year, a third way to prepare MMS variants has been proposed, dubbed CDH, for Chlorine Dioxide Holding solution (pdf) (http://www.mmsinfo.org/infosheets/infosheet_cdh.pdf) or A New Simpler MMS: CDH - Chlorine Dioxide Holding (01-04-2014) (http://mmsnews.org/newsletter/212-a-new-simpler-mms-cdh-chlorine-dioxide-holding-01-04-2014). It produces results similar to classic MMS, but whereas making classic MMS involves two steps
a short timed step using high concentrations to react quickly, followed by
diluting that with additional water to stop the reaction,
the method of making CDH involves one step
a slow more dilute reaction over many hours.
However all these processes involve working with solutions (liquid form) of the initial inputs (sodium chlorite and some acid, such as citric acid). The above linked MMS - tasteless and odourless. the new CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) ("http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?35807-MMS-tasteless-and-odourless.-the-new-CDS--chlorine-dioxide-solution-&p=893651&viewfull=1#post893651) method that I just posted earlier today is the first posting I've seen of a process using the dry powder form of the raw input ingredients.
Using the dry powder form has these advantages - the powders are more concentrated to ship and store, more economical and have indefinitely long shelf life. It is not necessary in my experience to first create the liquid solutions of the input ingredients before then combining them to make MMS or CDS. One can work directly with the dry powders.

I would now like to propose a method for making CDH that, like my above linked method for making CDS, works directly with the dry powders.
This is the simplest and cheapest way yet to make MMS. You put the two powders in a glass bottle with the water, wait a day, and you're done. That's it!
As I posted last week on the Genesis II Forum (https://g2cforum.org/index.php/list/cdh/28048-how-to-make-cdh-chlorine-dioxide-holding-solution-video?start=9#47856) (with no response - not many people visit there):
Since I find sodium chlorite powder easier to ship and store, I just tried the following, which I am hoping would be equivalent to CDH:
Ingredients:
a half teaspoon of sodium chlorite powder,
a half teaspoon of citric acid powder
7 or 8 ounces of water
one 8 ounce glass jar (such as a baby bottle).
Directions:
Put first three ingredients into the jar, close lid, put in room temperature cabinet for a day, and store finished product in refrigerator.
That's it - you're done.
I just ordered some Chlorine Dioxide test strips for the first time ... so perhaps next week I will have a good way of testing the resulting concentration. [P.S. -- I now have the strips, and this product tested out at (very approximately) 3000 ppm.]
The ratio of 1:1 between the two powders (first two ingredients) was a guess, more for simplicity than any understanding of the chemistry. That guess could easily be quite suboptimal.
The result -looks- and -smells- like the CDS I have prepared several times using a fish tank pump, reactant bottle in hot water, four baby bottles with nipples containing cold water, and acquarium tubing connecting it all.
But if original MMS and CDH are both more effective for some conditions than CDS, on account of MMS and CDH having the other by-products of the reaction, then this could be a really easy way to make CDH, for those of us who are willing to wait the day, in order to lower shipping and storage costs.
