"Mineral mineral" zone or a strange or toxic fantasy?

The miracle mineral solution, also called MMS, has been around for years as a miracle cure for various conditions, including cancer and Covid-19.MMS, sodium cloiri (NACLO₂), is a powerful surfactant used, among other things, in water treatment.When sodium chlorite is acidic, chlorine dioxide (clo₂) is formed.Its use can be dangerous to health.

A team of scientists from the Medical University of Wroclaw decided to investigate.

In a study published in Scientific Reports, they analyzed the effects of acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) on producing ClO2.

Research methods and results

The two harassment efforts tested - ASC1

Chlorine dioxide has antibacterial properties.However, as the authors note, it only works at concentrations that are toxic to human cells.At 30 pages/min (0.003%), bacterial destruction, skin cell damage and death were observed in the in vivo model.

Of particular interest is the effect on the so-called biofilm, the protective structure of bacteria.Also in this case ASC was effective, but at the cost of tissue damage.

"The results of the study show that effective concentrations of ASC against biofilms are also toxic to eukaryotic cells, but the possibility of developing a formulation for external use that guarantees safety of use and high anti-biofilm efficiency cannot be ruled out."

At the same time, there are important differences between pure solutions of fabrics (for example, those used in dental tissues and those concentrated in homemade rubbers.

This study tested the effect of ASC on Cactoria bacteria.Lactobacillus is critical in forming a bacterial biofilm, which can infect the intestinal microflora.

"At the moment we are not planning studies of this type, but we do not rule them out in the future. If a safe oral form of ASC is developed, an analysis of its effect on the microbiome is necessary," said Dr.Ruth Dudek-Wicher.

Pronunciation and health risks

The researchers make it a secret that this study is not only about studying microbiology, but also about fighting misinformation.

"The most damaging mistake is to believe in the effectiveness of MMS without scientific evidence," said Dr.Dudek-Wicher.

"In pharmacy and medicine, the benefit-risk ratio is considered. With MMS, the benefit is zero and the risk is high, especially since the dosage is often administered using non-standardized drops, which can get 1 ml by applying 15 or 30 drops. Such fluctuations in the oral dosage of a corrosive substance are extremely responsible," she adds.

In addition, it is sometimes recommended for children and pregnant women.

Can anything be done about it?

"Yes, but it requires integrated surprise

It is also necessary to raise funds for research that refutes the myth. Dr. According to the Change Counselor, the researcher must be protected from misunderstanding.

The research conducted by the Faculty of Pharmacy is of interest to the media.The publication of an article and video material on the home page of a Polish press agency is a sign that society is waiting for.

"At the Faculty of Pharmacy, we are not afraid of complex topics. For us, the most important thing is the safety of patients who have lost their way in the search for treatment. And the interest in the results encourages us to continue working. We are planning a series of analyzes and publications on other miracle preparations - DMSO, adaptogens, "detoxification" in the researchers' protocol. authors.
