Abstract
We evaluate two patients that use chlorine dioxide on its own initiative, influenced by news, friends, etc., but not prescribed by doctors. The patients did not know the concentration they used even though they ingested it for more than 12 months. The concentrations used in the laboratory and in clinical trials are low, 5 ppm, and 0.1 ppm. Hemolysis and renal dysfunction have been reported at concentrations of 40 ppm. The patients came to control their eye problems, but the findings differed significantly from those found before the intake of chlorine dioxide.
