A Possible Solution to the Malaria Problem?

Author: Jim Humble / USA
 To understand why the Malaria Solution works one must understand some of the chemistry of Chlorine Dioxide and parts of the chemistry of the blood. Chlorine dioxide is a gas that is dissolved in water when in the body. Chlorine and chlorine dioxide have been used as disinfectants for more than a hundred years and there is little doubt that they simply destroy pathogens of all kinds. Chlorine and Chlorine Dioxide have been used in water purification systems for more than 50 years. In recent years, chlorine has been used less and Chlorine Dioxide a great deal more as it has many benefits over chlorine itself. Chlorine Dioxide is use extensively in water purification systems throughout Europe. Now it has been discovered that chlorine has a byproduct that increases susceptibility to cancer whereas Chlorine Dioxide does not. Although chlorine dioxide is somewhat more expensive than chlorine, its many benefits over chlorine has resulted in it being more extensively used in recent years in water purification systems than chlorine.
The chemical difference between chlorine and chlorine dioxide is quite extensive, however, the main advantage of chlorine dioxide is that it is very selective in the items that it will attack. Chlorine kills pathogens by chlorination, a chemical reaction between chlorine ions and other chemicals that results in the destructions of pathogens, but chlorination also results in the combination of chemicals that can be harmful to the human body which includes a group of chemicals known as THMs a carcinogenic. On the other hand chlorine dioxide kills by oxidation, a completely different chemical reaction that results in no harmful chemicals. Chlorine kills the friendly aerobic stomach bacterium while chlorine dioxide only kills anaerobic bacterium and other harmful pathogens. A 10-ppm drink of chlorine will cause a healthy person several hours of nausea, while a 10-ppm drink of chlorine dioxide causes no nausea at all for a healthy person, and yet it is more efficient in killing pathogens than chlorine.
None of the functions or elements of the human body including friendly aerobic bacteria are affected by chlorine dioxide in dilute solutions of 100-ppm or less. On the other hand, solutions of 0.1 to 1-ppm seem to induce a spectacular immune response reaction that attack anaerobic bacterium, viruses, parasites and other pathogens. Without realizing it, hundreds of thousands of Americans have been drinking dilute solutions of chlorine dioxide for more than 100 years in various health waters sold to the public. Dilute solutions of salt treated with electricity have been sold as “health water” under various names such as “Willard Water” which is still being sold. Most of these waters contain low levels of chlorine dioxide as a result of the electrolytic treatment. The chlorine dioxide concentration in such water was very low and thus was never strong enough to do a thorough job of killing pathogens in the body, however the benefits claimed for these health waters were more than likely caused by the chlorine dioxide. Other health drinks have been sold that contains various chlorine derivatives. The Malaria Solution is simply one of these health waters, which is a salt solution treated with electrictiy to which vinegar is added. The acid in the vinegar reduces the pH of the treated water and causes an increase in chlorine dioxide up to about 1-ppm, a concentration that is sometimes found in processed food.
Because of the acetic acid in the vinegar, the treated water (that is the Malaria Solution) begins to release chlorine dioxide on a linear timed basis for up to 12 hours. Stomach acid does not tend to significantly change this timed release. The amount of salts and vinegar is calculated to release 1 mg of chlorine dioxide per hour. This allows the chlorine dioxide to remain at a constant level as it is use up by destroying pathogens.
Chlorine Dioxide is considered by many scientists to be the most powerful disinfectant known for pathogens, and if not the most powerful, at least one of the top three. No pathogen can resist it and no disease either bacterial, or virus has ever developed a resistance to it. The human body has very few mechanisms that can differentiate between oxygen and chlorine dioxide. Red blood cells cannot tell the difference, thus as the Malaria Solution enters the stomach, absorption mechanisms in the stomach walls allow the red blood cells to absorb the chlorine dioxide and carry it to various areas of the body where oxygen ions are normally taken.
The natural pH of the human body is approximately 7. At pH 7 chlorine dioxide, in the absence of light, is fairly stable. However, disease pathogens have a lower pH as does malaria parasites. As mentioned above, the red blood cells readily absorb the chlorine dioxide and once in the cell it attacks the malaria parasite because the surface of the parasite has a lower pH than the blood. Normal levels of oxygen cannot destroy all of the pathogens present under disease conditions. When the chlorine dioxide contacts harmful pathogens that have a lower pH than 7 it accepts 4 electrons from the pathogen resulting in a micro miniature explosion destroying the bond between the chlorine ion and its two oxygen ions releasing them as nascent oxygen. This means that each of the oxygen ions released from the chlorine ion is going to be highly active for a short period of time which results in further oxidation damage to the pathogen. Both the acceptance of electrons from the pathogen, and the oxidation by the nascent oxygen, and the micro explosion work to cause the destruction of the pathogen. The chlorine that is released at the same time simply turns to a chloride (table salt) leaving no poisons behind. The same process continues throughout the body where chlorine dioxide ions contact pathogens. It does not attack beneficial bacteria or healthy body parts, as their pH is not below 7, however, it will also oxidize diseased cells, such as, infections or cancer.
The lymph nodes, for example, are one of the areas where the blood normally releases oxygen to oxidize various poisons in the node and then it carries the poisons away to the liver. The red blood cells carry the chlorine dioxide ions the same as oxygen and thus chlorine dioxide ions are also released in the lymph nodes. The chlorine dioxide ions are inert in normal cells and do not react against the poisons that the oxygen normally oxidizes but they will destroy any pathogens found in the lymph nodes.
Minute amounts of naturally produced chlorine dioxide are found in the human body, and one of the chemicals that chlorine dioxide deteriorates into is hypochlorous. The body uses hypochlorous acid extensively to kill parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, tumor cells, natural killer cells, and to destroy some waste products under normal conditions. However, different diseases and body conditions can result in a deficiency in the hypochlorous acid needed to destroy the pathogens that are present. This is due to a condition known as myeloperoxidase deficiency, myeloperoxidase being the chemical that the body uses to generate the hypochlorous acid. In the case of many other diseases there are other immune system reactions that can over come diseases, however in the cases of malaria, there is not enough hypochlorous acid to kill the parasites nor are there any other immune system reactions that can destroy it. Thus the hypochlorous acid created by chlorine dioxide as it deteriorates in the body is probably an other mechanism by which malaria is destroyed.
In the case of the Malaria Solution, when taken by mouth by a malaria victim after adding vinegar and juice, all malaria symptoms including chills, fever, aching muscles and joints, headache, nausea, and other symptoms are gone within four hours in 98% of all cases. The other 2% are symptoms free within 12 hours. Although some malaria victims are sick from other diseases, we have never found a case in which the malaria parasite was not destroyed. To this date, May 1, 2005, more than 35,000 malaria victims have been treated with no serious side effects reported. Since normally, two deaths per each 250-malaria victims is expected, and zero deaths were reported in the 35,000 cases treated, we must assume that 300 lives have been saved and that the Malaria Solution is doing its job.
