what is your opinion on Chlorine dioxide as a cheap antibiotic?
-
a lot of people also get many other beneficial effects from it such as lowering estrogen increasing dopamine and libido. I will write more about it later

Since this was very popular during the COVID pandemic, and promoted heavily by
Andreas Kalcker, many people especially in South America used it at that time. I got to make it myself from sodium chlorite, and used it. Since I didn't have COVID, I only got to use it for a chronic low grade infection that caused by WBC to be high. It didn't lower it though. I suspect it's because the bacteria in my system was aerobic, and it is effective for destroying anaerobic bacteria as ClO2 disocciates into Cl and O2, where Cl becomes NaCl salt and harmless, while O2 destroys anaerobes. It hasn't helped me when I used it, and likely it was due to me not having anaerobic infection. But that is the little I can comment on this. There is a large Telegram group on it, but even though I have been a member, I haven't used it much nor become an expert much less familiar with chlorine dioxide. -
It's not an "antibiotic". that would imply it has some specific means at exploiting metabolism or other structural vulnerability in bacterial cells. It's a broad spectrum oxidative agent which is cytotoxic. It kills bacteria as much as it kills enterocytes, epithelial cells, mucilages or anything else it interacts with. I personally would not touch it with a barge pole and most people i know who did the "miracle mineral solution"during COVID have IBS now and issues with food intolerances most likely because of it and the things it can kill.
Essential oils(some fractions can be bacteriacidal but EO's generally function all the same), hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide, silver ions. None of these things are antibiotics in the bacteriostatic or bacteriacidal sense. They indiscriminately kill everything in their path with zero selectivity through ROS bursts which makes them broad spectrum biocides. You cannot control what they do and do not interact with and therefore are not worth the risk. You can titrate the dose of a macrolide or tetracycline to be bacteriostatic or bacteriacidal, you have no such control over a broad spectrum, highly oxidative agent. There is no biologically meaningful therapeutic window that will reduce risk either and reap rewards or therapeutic outcome. Avoid
