Did you know that...?
In late 1991, following the September 11 disaster, the offices of Senator Tom Daschle were infected by Anthrax spores. The offices were closed, and clean-up crews specializing in destroying bacteria
moved in. The solution? Chlorine Dioxode!

What is Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide?
Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is an oxidizing agent. Its unique oxidation process results in several beneficial actions
such as destroying micro-organisms and eliminating odors.
What is the history of ClO2?
ClO2 was originally discovered in the late 19th century. The first known commercial process for preparing chlorine dioxide
gas was developed in the 1930's, and its use as a bleaching agent expanded rapidly in the industrial sector. In 1941 the oxidizing
power of chlorine dioxide was first used for taste and odor control in a water treatment plant in Niagara Falls, New York.
The successful use of ClO2 as a water disinfecting agent in New York led to the rapid expansion of its use for this purpose.
ClO2 is now widely used in water treatment, primarily for taste and odor control.

What are the benefits of ClO2?
1. Oxidizes single-cell organisms: bacteria, germs, viruses, fungi, spores, yeast, mold, and mildew.
2. Eliminates all odors. ClO2 doesn't merely cover odors; it oxidizes the bonds in sulfur compounds that cause halitosis,
destroying the cause of bad breath and odors at the molecular level.
3. Safe for children. Used as recommended, it is non-toxic to human and animal tissue.
4. Non-Carcinogenic, does not cause cancer.
5. Non-Mutagenic; organisms can't mutate to destruction.
6. Non-Allergenic; no allergic reactions recorded.
7. Biodegradable.
8. US EPA registered and recommended.

* Alcohol is the leading
cause of oral cancer.
"A pending study from
the national Cancer Institute suggests users of high-alcohol mouthwashes face an increased risk of cancer of the mouth and
throat." - Wall Street Journal, April 23, 1991
"A
new study concludes that mouthwashes with more than 25% alcohol could boost the risk of mouth cancer by 50%... the research
shows that high-alcohol mouthwash users run about 1 1/2 times the risk of oral cancer than non-users do." - San Francisco Chronicle, July 11, 1991
