Hydrotherapy At Home Instructions

CHLORINE DIOXIDE

Step by step instructions (takes only about 19 seconds)

This is from Steve Kirsch - follow him here: <stevekirsch@substack.com>

1. Fill the 100mL bottle to the shoulder (that’s 100mL) with distilled water.

2. Use the super dropper to transfer 5ml of distilled water into the Erlenmeyer flask (it’s sitting on the top of the black lid to the jar in the photo). It doesn’t have to be exactly 5mL because the final concentration only depends on the total amount of water, not the ratio between the containers. You need enough water to dissolve the tablet, moderate the reaction and weigh down the flask so it doesn’t float and tip. 5mL does the trick quite nicely. And I promised no exact measurements required!

3. Pour the remaining 95 mL of distilled water in the jar. The jar is amber to keep light out. Light degrades the chlorinedioxide.

4. Drop the Safrax DISIN-Clo2 Chlorine Dioxide tablet in the flask.

5. Immediately cover the flask with your finger (so you don’t breathe the gas and it doesn’t escape) and swirl while covered. The water will turn color to yellow immediately. Note: If it doesn’t change to yellow immediately, your tablet was contaminated with water and is useless. The tablet should be solid and smooth. If it is crumbly, it is moisture degraded and no good. You likely stored it improperly.

6. Put the flask inside the jar and immediately screw the lid on tight, and put the jar/flask into the refrigerator for 12 hours. You will lose some gas in this process so the sooner you do this after dropping the tablet the better.

7. Gently swirl every 2 hours as convenient. DO NOT OPEN THE JAR to do that. Just swirl the jar. Keep the lid on the whole time.

8. After 12 hours, remove the jar from the refrigerator. Use the large syringe (far right) to transfer the jar contents into 3 30mL glass amber eye dropper containers to the top (no air gap. Label them as “1000 ppm CDS #1 (to 3)” Glass is the only way to go. Avoid plastic. Amber keeps the light out.

9. Store the containers in the refrigerator when done. When needed, use them in numerical order to avoid opening.

10. Add tap water to the top of the inner flask to dilute it and pour it down the drain. You’ll be helping to kill bacteria in your pipes.

Shelf life in the refrigerator: About 4 months (It will degrade about 1% to 2% per week). It degrades faster the more you open it and expose it to light even for short periods. Minimizing headspace (airspace above the chlorine dioxide mixture) helps to minimize degradation which is why you fill it to the top in 3 containers and use them in order.

Testing for potency: The color indicates potency. You can compare with the photos below. The other way is to add .25mL to 25mL of water and see if you saturate a 10ppm ClO2 test strip.

Note: if you are using chemicals in step #4 (more expensive and messy) instead of a single Safrax 1gm tablet, then do the following:

1. Add 25% NaClO₂ solution 0.67 mL (~0.81 g) to the 5mL already in the flask. Note: it’s heavier than water. Do this first, before adding the acid. You always want to add acid to water, never water (or a base) to an acid. You learned that in high school chemistry, right?

2. Add 4% HCl solution 2.28 mL (~2.33 g) to the flask

3. Immediately cover with your finger and swirl. The water will change color to yellow just like the tablet.

4. Go to step 6 above.

CAUTION: NEVER use full strength

Most applications of CDS are 10ppm or less. Dilute with water (distilled or saline) before use depending on the application.

If you are doing a bunch of nebulizer sessions a day, you can dilute .25mL in 25mL of saline before use. Note: diluting in saline is nicer for your nasal passages, but the shelf life is shorter than distilled water. Always store the 10ppm solution in the refrigerator when not in use. One bottle of this should last your entire infection, so don’t worry about degradation.

Material list (7 items) with Amazon links

1. 16oz amber glass jar w/black cap: $15

2. Erlenmeyer 25mL glass flasks (set of 2): $11
   These basically hold the tablet and water and keep it separate from the 95mL receiving water in the jar. Thanks to the design and the weight of the 5mL of water, the flask won’t tip over which would create MMS instead of CDS.

3. Safrax DISIN-CLO2 tablets: $35.88 (for 500 tablets)
   These rock. No fuss, no muss, no chemicals. A brilliant invention. 10X cheaper than chemicals.

4. 5 mL Super droppers (set of 2): $6
   You only need one. The simplest way to load 5mL into the flask from the 100mL starting bottle

5. 100mL leak proof plastic containers (set of 5) for distilled water, saline, etc.: $6
   I label these with distilled water and saline.

6. 60 mL Syringe (set of 3): $6
   By far, the nicest way to move the CDS from the jar to each 30mL bottle. No spills.

7. 30mL glass amber containers (set of 4) with calibrated droppers: $7
   Using 3 containers means you can keep the other containers topped up and sealed until use which extends shelf life. Use the fourth container for storing pre-made 10ppm solution for convenience when you get sick. For travel, just pack a 30mL container and try to keep it refrigerated as much as possible to minimize degradation. Label it as travel. Compare color when you get back home to check for degradation.

Optional but recommended

1. Cl02 test strips (set of 50) 10ppm: $21.21. These provide a double check that you have potency to be extra sure. A 10ppm solution will have a very faint color in the dropper so that is usually enough for most people, but if you are new to this, having a set of test strips can’t hurt. The test strip turns a bright red at 10ppm and if you let them dry out, you can re-use them a few times (at degraded accuracy).

2. Nebulizer: $43. Be sure to run the clean cycle with pure distilled water after each use with CDS.

3. Vevor Distiller (if you don’t already have one, this is the one I use that I love): $84. Make your own distilled water at home.

4. Vitafit 500g Micro scale (I love this thing): $10. Use it for making isotonic saline, for pre-measuring the chemicals if using chemicals to make your ClO2.

Note: You can easily make your own isotonic saline solution by adding .9 gms of salt to 100mL of distilled water. It doesn’t have to be exact. The micro scale is ideal for this. For making saline solution for nasal rinses, you’d be adding 2.16gms of salt to the 240mL bottle.
