The History And Persecutions Of Jim Humble, Pioneer Of Chlorine Dioxide Therapy

While the first oral oxidative therapy pioneer of last century was apparently assassinated at the age of 87 ( detailed in this post ), the more modern history instead consists of forced deportations, extraditions, assassination attempts, false imprisonments, loss of academic appointments, and loss of corporate leaderships.
 If you want to see a masterpiece of propaganda attacking the validity of their contributions as well as their reputations, look no further than this Wikipedia entry on Humble’s Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS). Many of the pioneers appear in a disturbingly negative light.
 Now, although the publicly known pioneers like Humble acquired typical “controversial” public profiles, other (smarter?) pioneers and missionaries long ago realized the importance of never disclosing their identities publicly. Like this missionary below (who goes only by a first name “Dave”) and whose face is purposely blurred in this 7 minute interview that I have shown before from the Universal Antidote documentary :

 The History Of Chlorine Dioxide Pioneer Jim Humble
 The history of Jim Humble and his exploits with his chlorine dioxide formulation that he named “Miracle Mineral Supplement” has previously been well documented in books , interviews , documentaries and websites . Thus, I will provide a somewhat condensed history here but will also add previously unknown information which I uncovered during my communications with various other practitioners and researchers of chlorine dioxide.
 Humble’s Career Prior To Discovering Chlorine Dioxide
 Jim Humble was an electronics technician and non-degreed research engineer in the aerospace industry from the U.S. He later travelled to Africa to use a gold recovery system he developed. Like Howard Alliger and “ Colonel Mondragon ” (the person who introduced Humble to chlorine dioxide), Humble was a polymath with varied career and life experiences:
 I have done many things in my lifetime—gone from a backwoods boy in Alabama, to the Marines, to a nutritional and alternative health enthusiast, to Aerospace, to electronics researcher, to inventor (of many things), to gold mining. Realizing I found “real gold” when I discovered MMS, from that point on I’ve dedicated all my time and effort to helping others recover their health and to bringing this technology to the world. It is my mission to bring this knowledge of health recovery to mankind. All profits from the sales of my books go towards this mission.
 Humble’s curriculum vitae must have been stunning given that he was an aerospace research engineer during the cold war. He set up A-bomb tests. He worked on intercontinental missiles. He wired the first computer controlled machine in the US at Hughes Aircraft Co. He worked on the moon vehicle (!). He designed circuitry for testing of space craft engines. He wrote manuals for vacuum tube computers. Later, he opened his own gold mining company, created over 200 products, and wrote 5 books concerning new and safer methods of gold mining. Just wow.
 Humble Discovers The Efficacy of Chlorine Dioxide
 In 1996, Humble was leading a gold mining expedition through the jungles of British Guyana when two of the men on his crew were bitten by mosquitoes and became very ill with what they thought was malaria. They had no anti-malarial medication and were days away from help. Jim had brought bottles of the “stabilized oxygen” that Colonel Mondragon had sent him, which were droplets of sodium chlorite used to purify water:

 He gave them the droplets and within hours, the men were “back on their feet, feeling completely well.”
 Jim was moved by this experience and wondered whether the water purifier had killed the malaria. He began to investigate into what had happened by experimenting on himself and other natives who had contracted malaria and he began observing similar responses. He then discovered that when sodium chlorite comes into contact with acid (like the acid in your stomach), “chlorine dioxide gas” is formed which dissolves in water.
 After discovering the potent efficacy of the product, he traveled to Africa and, in his words “treated 2,000 people personally, and the people I've trained have treated over 100,000.” In America he has consulted with thousands of people who have then claimed to recover from numerous diseases, many of which were considered to be incurable.
 From Dr. Robert Yoho’s Substack on Mark Grenon (a later partner of Jim Humble), he describes the first of what would become numerous persecutions of Humble. Grenon told Yoho the following:
 Jim tried stabilized oxygen for other people sick with malaria, and more than half recovered immediately. The others needed a few more days. Humble had found something precious, but it was not a yellow metal. He quickly ran out of the product and returned to Georgetown, Guyana’s capital.

 Many parts of the world, including all of Guyana, suffer from malaria, a parasite transmitted by infected mosquitoes. Jim shared his unexpected cure with the country’s vice president, who mentioned the story to his health director, who told the President. The next day, Jim was told to leave the country immediately. He learned later that Guyana’s primary pharmaceutical supplier threatened to stop donating medications to the hospital in Georgetown if information about the malaria cure became public.
 It was Humble’s first brutal lesson about Pharma’s willingness to commit genocide rather than risk profits . It was also the start of his lifelong commitment to bringing chlorine dioxide to the world. Jim knew that malaria kills 1.5 million yearly, which is cumulatively more people than all the wars in history. He knew he could save these people.
 In this interview with Project Camelot’s Bill Ryan in 2008, Humble recalls what happened after he got back to the U.S:
 That was the situation. Anyhow, I went back to the United States and I started working on it, trying to figure out what was in it that caused the malaria to be cured. I finally realized what I was using was a solution that was being sold in all the health food stores and had been on the shelves of health food stores for like 75 years in the United States.
 Little by slowly, his method for preparing chlorine dioxide led to a form which is now called “MMS” whereby, instead of just having people ingest sodium chlorite, he first activated the sodium chlorite with an acid, forming a liquid solution of chlorine dioxide (which, after this “activation” occurs is then referred to as “MMS1”).
 The “problem” was that Humble would soon discover that chlorine dioxide treated much more than malaria. Like much more. Over the next decade, Humble spent a significant amount of time experimenting on himself using chlorine dioxide, and ultimately helped people recover from diverse illnesses in some of the poorest regions of the world, including South America, Mexico, and several African countries.
 He was using chlorine dioxide to cure malaria, typhoid fever, dengue fever, HIV and other serious diseases. Then in 2006, Humble published his first book titled, " The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st century ” where he described his discovery and experiences with MMS and also provided detailed instructions on how to prepare and use it.
 Mark Grenon recalls discovering Humble and his “MMS” formulation:
 When I first found this book, it was called Miracle Mineral Supplement and I just said, oh, this can't be true. It must be snake oil. It's got to be a scheme. Why would you call it a miracle? But after I got to know the guy that named it, he told me he did it on purpose. He wanted people (not) to take him serious so he could get the book out without getting too much attention. He wanted to slowly get it into the hands of people around the world to gather more evidence before he really came out public with it. We're doing that more and more all the time.
 Humble and Grenon then became both friends and partners by forming the Genesis II Church of Health And Healing where they travelled the world giving seminars and treating many thousands of people in a number of countries, a history which I will more closely detail in my upcoming post on Grenon. If interested in reading my upcoming posts on Grenon and other pioneers as below, please subscribe:

 After Humble and Grenon teamed up, testimonies and discussion of MMS began to circulate widely on the internet and then later on social media, leading to an ever expanding awareness and use of MMS.
 Here I include a disturbing anecdote of an early persecution of a fellow MMS practitioner as told by Jim Humble in an interview:
 But I had another friend that I know. He'd become a friend because he knew what I was doing. He was in Africa curing malaria. And the people, representatives from the drug companies, told him to stop. And he wasn't going to stop. He was going to continue to cure malaria. And then one night ,when he went to his hotel room, he opened the door and a bomb went off and it blew both of his legs off. Didn't kill him. He's in California now. He's in a wheelchair.
 Grenon continued recalling other events and actions taken against him and Humble in the Dominican Republic:
 Around that time, I was getting some wild calls from billionaires around the word wanting to fly into my place in Santo Domingo because we had a 12,000-foot runway. They wanted to help us. I had an airplane there, and they could bring in their jets. They were going to come in, but then everything stopped because the FDA started attacking us through the PROCONSUMIDOR (Instituto Nacional de Protección de los Derechos del Consumidor, the Dominican version of the FDA). In 2013 they were sent to my compound. The FDA called the American Embassy in Santo Domingo, and they sent agents from PROCONSUMIDOR.
 They kicked down the door at one of our seminars. They kicked that down the door with the police, and fortunately, after we explained that we were having a church seminar, they decided to leave. They respected our church there, not like in America later on, where agents raided our church headquarters and took all of my books and the legal products we had. I mean, that was sick. Helicopter above the roof and everything.
 Even back then though, things were really heating up. Every country I went in, the news networks, CNN, Sky News, Fox, it didn’t matter, all of them were saying “these guys are drinking bleach. Don't trust them.” I mean, it was getting heated up to the point where I was like, Okay, we're going to keep fighting. I'm not afraid to die. I don't want them to kill me. I'm not a martyr. I want to live. I'm enjoying my wife and family. I don't want to die. I'm not looking to be some, like I said, martyr. It got worse and worse and worse. I helped Jim finish his second book where we included the protocols. They were based on all the updated information we were getting via e-mail and then were sharing with Jim. That was a good book
 Then in 2016, I wrote my own book about everything going on with the pharmaceutical industry and about what disease is and how to achieve real health. That book caused a ruckus because of the history of the pharmaceutical industry. I had 60 cancer testimonies in there. We had 3 million views in 2016 or 2017 that were taken down off of YouTube. Then we did the Quantum Leap documentary and that's when Jeff watched it (Ed: my friend who goes by “the Curious Outlier”). He said, “man, this is great.” I gave him every bit of information I had on MMS. He wanted to do a better documentary, more technical and I was like, “Go ahead, man.” I'm busy aging, traveling, doing something. Do it. Do a good job. I hope you're a great part. (ED: Jeff self produced and directed the incredible documentary called “The Universal Antidote” which can be watched here.
 During my research into chlorine dioxide, I struck up a correspondence with someone who became friends with Humble in the last years of his life, a man by the name of Pastor Ricardo Beas. Pastor Beas reached out to me to provide me with what I think are fascinating, granular details of Jim’s activities and focus towards the end of his life.
 THE HISTORY OF PASTOR RICARDO BEAS AND JIM HUMBLE
 Pastor Ricardo Beas is, among other things, a vaccine researcher turned vaccine skeptic who has long fought against mandatory vaccinations of children. In fact, he started a church to help people get religious exemptions to vaccination, a church which had a structure and mission similar to Humble’s church, The Genesis II Church of Health & Healing.
 In 2017, about six years prior to his death in September of 2023, Humble retired from the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing. Right around that time, Pastor Beas and Humble began a correspondence.
 Pastor Beas named his The Natural Law Church of Health and Healing . In this posted history of his communications with Humble, he provides the first email response he got from Humble when Beas told him of what he himself was doing around vaccines:
 “I am very excited about what you are doing. I appreciate your work immensely and I want to see it continue forward. Keep up the good work.”
 On July 16, 2017, Pastor Beas emailed Jim again, giving him more details as to his religious background and Humble replied as follows:
 “I am an inventor. Not only in things like inventions but in spiritual things. I have come up with an idea that is secret. So secret I cannot disclose it to anyone yet. But remember the 60 doctors killed in the last year for working on a medicine that actually works. I hope you understand that we work in a dangerous area, but there may be something that we can do about it. But I want you to know again that when we get into this we can change the world, but then we could be shot as well. There is only one thing we must do to create the biggest change ever made. This is the time to back out. I would never stop you from backing out, but the bad guys would. Let me know what you think.”
 Please read Pastor Beas’s full account of his communications with Jim Humble . Here I include excerpts of what I believe are the most powerful communications he received from Humble:
 I have a plan, but I cannot tell you over the internet, even on proton mail. I just don't trust it that much. I have to get the information to you. Maybe you can come visit. I also need to get the plan to one other person in Europe at this time. It might take two more people or maybe one more to make a total of 4. Trust me. I have a plan that will change earth using MMS. It will only take weeks or a few months to begin the big change. Trump is a good indication at this time, but we cannot rely on him right now. We must disconnect America and then Earth from the medical / pharmaceutical cartel . If we don't, no matter how good things get, the medical / pharmaceutical cartel will draw us right back into the mess. That is their one final big monopoly that they think will always save them no matter what comes. Without stopping the Medical / Pharmaceutical cartel, we nor no one else can save Earth . So, once you get the plan, then we can discuss things without disclosing the plan or what we really know. We have to be careful. We will have to wait until I have book sales going again as we need the money for expenses. So that will slow things up a bit but planning can continue.
 Humble was referring to the latest persecution his Church had undergone, which was when Paypal suddenly cut off his ability to sell his books on the internet. Pastor Beas wrote to him;
 “I want to do some fundraiser for that children's project you mentioned to me. How much do you think you need, and how could I send you the funds if I am successful in my collection. ( Ed: He also asked if he could visit Humble)
 Humble replied:
 Yes, the visit would be OK. I think we can come to an understanding. The money required would be (1) travel money into the US, (2) expense money to stay in an area for one or two weeks, and (3) we may need another person we can completely trust for the same thing. I don't mind using my money but I have been shut down from selling my books for so long that I have no money at this time. I expect to begin sales of books in a week or two and will soon have money, but it will be a month or two. If we could get a donation that would be nice but it must not be a special donation. Just standard help. We cannot say it is for a special cause.
 Pastor Beas did finally go to visit Humble in the state of Jalisco in Mexico. After a long conversation, Humble was ready to tell the plan to Pastor Beas, but his companion, Cari, advised against it. After the visit, Humble wrote the following apology to Pastor Beas:
 So sorry I couldn't tell you everything. Cari and I have agreed with one another that when people come see us we will not tell all on the first visit. We made that agreement with one another and I really cannot break the deal. Of course, there are those who we already know for years where we already have the first visit and will usually say more. I did feel really bad as I would have liked to have laid it all out today and Cari would like to have also but we have made that agreement just so we won't make a mistake. It is all going forward and the book is 95% finished. Also, so is the longevity book. We have both agreed you are a great guy and we can trust you. So sorry we have that agreement, but over the years we have learned to be careful. As I mentioned to you in our conversation, there are 81 of those dead doctors now, but in case you haven't looked on the internet for dead scientists and inventors, there are several hundred of them over the last 100 years .
 The Pastor describes what happened after this last communication:
 I never heard back from Jim or Cari, although I emailed him at least 6 times. Then COVID-19 hit a year later and on September 1, 2023 Jim passed away at the age of 91 . Shortly thereafter I contacted Cari by phone and email to give my condolences and I told her that if Jim’s plan was still feasible, that I would like to know what it was to see if maybe I could carry it out. We corresponded back and forth for about a month, and she would always tell me she would get back to me, but I never heard back from her, my last attempt done on January 14, 2024. So, it appears that Jim took the plan, which never became operational, to the grave .
 Who knows if he got any other person interested in taking such a risk to their lives to bring MMS to the world; and apparently, Cari is not interested in having any part of it. Maybe they both decided that it was just too dangerous, especially after Mark Grenon and his sons were arrested. Somewhere on Jim’s website I believe I read that they had been warned by US authorities about their activities and possible consequences, but I cannot find the quote. Jim’s age and health could have also been a contributing factor, as at the time of his last email to me, he was 86-87 years old. It is not up to me to judge Cari for not wanting Jim to share the plan with me initially or after Jim’s departure.
 All I can say is that it was a shame, as this plan and any possible positive result would have become known to the world before COVID-19 hit, and that could have thwarted the whole Plandemic that the world was forced to live through, because there would have been a cure to deal with COVID-19, so the vaccines would have not received the Emergency Use Authorization. On the other hand, if the plan was as powerful and dangerous as Jim anticipated, and we would have proceeded with it, maybe Jim, Cari and I would have ended up in prison or dead as the other assassinated doctors that Jim mentioned (see Unintended Holistic Doctor Death Series: Over 100 Dead) , and therefore, maybe not going forward with the plan was a blessing from God, and our lives were spared. Maybe the world was not ready until today, when Dr. Kory is introducing MMS/Chlorine Dioxide to a world-wide audience of the general public and highly educated members of academia and the medical sciences who follow his work. Only God knows why things turned out this way. Thus, I thank you my Lord, for how it all played out, for the better. Amen.
 Pastor Beas then wrote the following, which makes me even more nervous than I already am:
 Now that Dr. Kory has started a series on Chlorine Dioxide and its story, being that he is so well known globally and highly respected as an alternative medicine physician ( Ed: fair description I suppose ), it became time for me to share this amazing story about a man that sacrificed everything for the good of the Children of God.
 I am not willing to sacrifice the ultimate, although I have gotten used to sacrificing much of everything else in my Covid journey- my academic career, 4 jobs, income, marriage, former organization, etc., but I am happy and healthy at the moment and want to stay that way. The Pastor also relayed the following:
 I also mention in my original study that Jim approached the Bill Gates foundation and was turned down. I clarified that Jim is the one that mentioned this in his first book, “The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century.” Thank you, Jim. May you one day be recognized as one of the Giants in the medical field, even if you were not a doctor (in an undercover operation, ABC News cornered Jim in Mexico in 2016 and he was asked where he studied medicine. Jim replied, “I didn't study medicine. I'm not a doctor and I'm proud of it!
 As you can see from the above, he was focused on a “bigger project” for which he needed funds, tight collaboration, and trust, none of which was he able to acquire in time. Thus, his legacy is meant to be carried by others, and in the next posts, I will be further documenting the many accomplishments others have achieved in disseminating knowledge of the efficacy of chlorine dioxide.
 Conclusion
 All I can say is, rest in peace Jim, knowing that there are a legion of grateful patients who are no longer dying acutely or suffering from the many chronic, debilitating, and terminal illnesses which abound today. I hope that my efforts at documenting your contributions to humanity will help to rightly cement your place in the historical record.

Summary: The FDA worked with Howard Alliger in approving topical, mucosal, and sinus applications but Humble's attempts to spread the knowledge of efficacy of oral ingestion was met with resistance everywhere.


The History Of Howard Alliger - Pioneer Of Chlorine Dioxide Therapies

Although I am going ever deeper into the “rabbit hole” of chlorine dioxide, I again want to emphasize that I am not writing as a doctor recommending a treatment. I consider this work to be in the vein of an amateur investigative science journalist trying to compile all the evidence necessary to guide and promote the research needed to establish chlorine dioxide as a viable therapy for all.

 HISTORY OF THE MODERN CHLORINE DIOXIDE PIONEERS
 To recap, although chlorine dioxide has been widely used since the 1940’s in multiple industries such as water purification and as a disinfectant and bleaching agent, it was not until 1985 that oral ingestion was discovered to have therapeutic properties at much lower and safely tolerated concentrations.
 The 1985 water treatment incident in Nigeria was relayed to me by an anonymous translational scientist with high-level security clearances (now 85 years old), who, in that post, I identified only by his old nickname, “Colonal Mondragon (CM).”
 To be fair, I would say we don’t really know when its therapeutic potential as an orally ingested therapeutic was first discovered because CM found that soon after his discovery of its efficacy against malaria in Nigeria, he learned of Mexican and Central American doctors that were using it to cure other diseases as well (but not malaria).
 Soon after the Nigeria incident, CM was assigned to support the aid teams sent by Ronald Reagan to assist the Russians in their response to the Chernobyl nuclear accident. In that follow-up post , I provided granular details about that mission and how it led to CM meeting Vladimir Pasechnik , a Soviet scientist who later became an international whistleblower on the Russian Bioweapons program. It was Pasechnik who informed CM that chlorine dioxide was a “universal antidote against bioweapons.” Pasechnik also told CM that the Soviets had been studying it in the treatment of disease and that he was curing TB with it. That was in 1985. And that information has, as far as I know, been classified by the Russians to this day. Here is a timeline of the oral and topical chlorine dioxide pioneers:

 In this post I will detail Howard Alliger’s contributions (color coded in brown above) to the science and development of numerous therapeutic applications of chlorine dioxide. In a rapid series of upcoming posts that have already been completed, as per the chart above, I will follow with the histories and contributions of Jim Humble, Mark Grenon, Enno Frye, and Andreas Kalcker. In a later, final post, I will include my interviews with the documentarians Kacper Maciej Postawski , who in 2016, produced the amazing documentary called “Quantum Leap ” which exploded interest in the treatment worldwide. That documentary then inspired my friend Jeff “The Curious OutLier” to explore the science behind chlorine dioxide, eventually inspiring him to make “ The Universal Antidote ” documentary and website in 2021. It is that website which is still one of, if not the, best resources for information on chlorine dioxide anywhere.
 The History Of Howard Alliger, Founder of Frontier Pharma
 Now, about a decade prior to Colonel Mondragon’s discovery of its efficacy in treating malaria, another pioneer discovered its therapeutic efficacy with topical applications and then began disseminating and building upon that knowledge as you will learn about below.
 In the mid 1970’s, Howard Alliger, an inventor, scientist, and businessman was looking for a non-corrosive liquid sterilizer for one of his “ultrasonic cleaning” products. One day around 1975 Alliger was bothered by a skin irritation on his hands but he nonetheless proceeded with a tank disinfecting job, saturating his hands with a chlorine dioxide compound. By day's end, he discovered the skin irritation had disappeared.
 Although many histories of his subsequent work and contributions are available, I found the most revealing was from this radio interview I found . I made a transcript of it because in it he himself describes the true “origin story” of his interest in chlorine dioxide as a therapeutic (paraphrased for brevity):
 Q: First of all, how did you choose chlorine dioxide?
 Well, as with a lot of things, it was a bit of an accident. My real field was ultrasonics. We were looking for something to both clean and sterilize an ultrasonic cleaner tank. In an ultrasonic cleaner, the ultrasonic causes little bubbles that you can't see and they collapse with great force. That cleans anything you put into the ultrasonic cleaner. Well, we decided, why don't we try to both clean and sterilize at the same time? And so we tried to fill the cavitation bubble into the ultrasonic cleaner with a gas that would kill a bacteria. And we tried chlorine, which we found was two corrosive, so then we tried hydrogen peroxide, which disappeared in a few seconds. And then we hit upon chlorine dioxide. And that worked magnificently. We sterilized in a few seconds, actually. And then we took the chlorine dioxide and applied it to the outside of the ultrasonic cleaner. And lo and behold, it sterilized outside the cleaner as well. And that started the ball rolling . We took the same chlorine dioxide and started putting it on cuts and scratches, on moles, on pores, on acne, in my ear, in my eye.
 Although chlorine dioxide was already known as an excellent and safe disinfectant, it was Alliger who discovered its healing properties for use on the body as well as establishing methods to make it on a small scale for personal uses. Alliger continued:
 I was a guinea pig, and so was my family. And it worked on nearly everything, so very surprisingly. So I started a company. And that was many years ago. And now, since then, we've developed 20 different chlorine dioxide products. We found that the chlorine dioxide in our products kills all bacteria, virus, spores, yeast, all microorganisms within a minute in vitro, which is hard to believe, but it does that. And we put it on a wound, it did something even more than that. It oxidized free radicals and cytokines. Cytokines are compounds that the body releases in response to infection or wounds [that induces inflammation] that are quite irritating. So we oxidized those and neutralized them. So we had a perfect combination for a wound healer. That's how it all started. We built this pharmaceutical company around the traits of chlorine dioxide.
 You have to try it yourself, and you will see that it cures the warts fast and without pain or acne, fast and easy. That's what we're in the process of doing now, getting people used to something new. Other pharmaceutical companies don't take to it that easily either. Even with formal studies done, people don't jump on it. We have to educate people that this compound is quite different. Chlorine, for example, when it oxidizes an organic compound, it adds the chlorine atom, and that makes it carcinogenic and irritating. It makes chloroform and chlorophenol in the water supply, which are nasty. We don't do that. Chlorine dioxide doesn't do that. It's not the same at all.
 Q. How did your research into this evolve?
 Once I saw that it killed bacteria so fast, I tried to experiment. We were working on everything, on my family, on me, on every imperfection on the skin, mole, wart, irritations, scalp itch, fungus of the nail, acne. We first used it as a cleaner on the face, like an exfoliant, and it worked beautifully. Then we found that it wakes up the circulation underneath the skin like nitric oxide, and it works on frostbite. As an exfoliant, it wakes up the circulation in the skin so you look more youthful. Of course, a lot of people claim the same thing for their potion.
 That's the position we're in now. We just started using it on everything and that's how it evolved. And we're trying to get larger pharmaceutical companies to take over. And that's been a difficulty at the moment. Now, the FDA has been pretty good to us, which is a funny thing to hear. But the pharmaceutical companies that would take this and run with it have been difficult to work with, even with the studies that we have done .
 Interviewer: I'm happy you made the comment about the FDA, because there are so many people that are sitting around waiting for the FDA to bring the hammer down on the MMS protocol. It can go either way. But the truth is that we shouldn't assume that the FDA is going to do anything that is ultimately harmful, even though they may be protecting or appear to be protecting the interests of pharmaceutical firms.
 ( Editorial note : Although Alliger did not find the FDA a hindrance to research of his topical and mucosal applications, the FDA’s brazenly false statements about the toxicity of orally ingested chlorine dioxide suggests that, contrary to the interviewers naive optimism, the FDA and other regulatory agencies around the world are deliberateley blocking research and interest into oral chlorine dioxide).
 Interviewer: Ultimately, their real mandate is to protect the well-being of the public ( Editorial note: What? Sorry, I could not let that one slide ). Ultimately, if chlorine dioxide is of ultimate benefit to the public, we the public should actually make certain that it is not suppressed in some way ( Ed: Working on it brother) . That's something we can do because ultimately, the people who run the FDA are still people, too.
 Exactly. The FDA understood just the position we were in, and were a bit of a help, I would say.
 Interviewer: I’m surprised Howard, that the pharmaceutical companies, though, have been a bit more sluggish in their embracing of you.
 Well, I guess it surprised me a little, I guess you don't change that easily. If you're set in your ways and you have your own products, even though another one is better, you just don't change. I mean, our acne gel is better than all the others, but with all the advertising and the pretty faces you see on your TV set, it's a hard thing to trump.
 Interviewer: The fact that chlorine dioxide works in such a wonderful way in these topical applications is interesting. There's all kinds of buzz going on right now because of the internal application that Jim Humble developed to start dealing with the waters that are inside our body. I mean, 70% of our body is made up of water, and it's an area that we have just not touched. And yet it's affecting our health, especially when we do nothing about it. Anybody that's in a major health challenge is going to be toxic. Simple as that. The steps that we can take to reduce toxicity is really of the utmost importance. That's one of the wonders of your product line.
 “Well, we started this a good 25 years ago.. And little by little, we developed each part of this to make it a whole compound with a dispenser and catalysts. We had to figure out how much and what concentration to put on a wound. How often do you put it on? What concentration? What wetting agents do you put with it? What will get it into the skin easiest? Each of our 20 medications is different in that regard. It has different wetting agents, different concentrations. For removing scars, we use a very high concentration. For tooth whitening, we use a very high concentration. For our gynagel, which prevents sexually transmitted diseases, we use a very low concentration. That has not passed the FDA, by the way, so we cant sell it, but it's being tested now. So we have different concentrations for each one of the medications. For thrush on horses, that's a fungal disease of the hoof, we use a very high concentration. For warts it is also fairly high, but for acne it's low, for itchy scalp, when we kill fungus, it's a medium concentration .
 Basically, as far back as 1975, Alliger recognized the potential of a compound that had uses far beyond tank sterilization. Results were sufficiently promising that Alliger teamed with fellow businessman Elliott J. Siff to develop, market and license the compound; they were, respectively, chairman and president of the company.
 Although ready to market their products, Alliger kept on finding new applications for Alcide. From Alliger’s daughter Valerie Alliger-Bograd:
 The applications tended to reveal themselves as he kept learning more and more about everything to do with chlorine dioxide. It actually was a hindrance to the company because it was hard to focus on and support any one application. And that, truthfully, likely had something to do with my dad’s departure from the company, because he wanted to keep developing new applications and the board probably didn’t share that sentiment.
 Some of the applications were in the treatment of viral, fungal and bacterial infections in animals; treatment of a variety of human skin diseases; disinfection and sterilization in medical facilities; as a sterilant for food production machinery and food preservation; as a preservative for cutting oils and paints; and as a deodorant/disinfectant for carpets, Boeing airplanes, chemical toilets, public conveyances and meeting places.
 Again from Howard Alliger’s daughter, Valerie Alliger-Bograd:
 I'm trying very hard not to be biased, but I do feel that my dad's contributions should be given more credit. Without his work I do not think Jim Humble could have done what he did. As far as I know, and as far as my dad knew at the time that he started experimenting with chlorine dioxide back in the 1970s, he was the first to realize the healing nature of chlorine dioxide, and no one knew how to make it on a small scale for personal use. My dad's patent in 1978 made this possible and opened the field of personal use of ClO2.
 To help try to give you a better appreciation for the work my dad did, I will share with you an index of over 300 studies performed by Alcide and Frontier. And that's only some of it. There were 42 published papers.
 Alliger was thus one of the first (and most prolific) scientific researchers on the safety and efficacy of chlorine dioxide for both human and animal health and for almost anything that involves killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The missed opportunity is that Alliger never explored orally ingested applications, and instead focused on products for oral, dental, nasal, and skin diseases (although later in his life he patented a method for successfully injecting tumors with chlorine dioxide).
 From his daughter Valerie:
 In regards to oral ingestion, he had his hands full developing topical uses for ClO2, especially since the applications kept coming. He also knew from the pharmacology studies that Clo2 breaks down in the body so rapidly that it wasn’t obvious that there would be a beneficial effect from oral ingestion. He also knew that it would be very hard to study internal uses, then get regulatory approval and then commercialize that application. However, he did suspect that there might be a benefit with internal uses because he did an IV study in monkeys with AIDS.
 Ultimately, his work led to his Alcide and Frontier companies acquiring many chlorine dioxide related patents. It was his first Alcide “method” patent ( Germ Killing Composition and Method #4084747) that paved the way for the rest. It’s worthy to note that Howard himself had over 30 patents in the fields of chlorine dioxide, ultrasonics [including an ultrasonically derived vaccine for Lyme Disease], and air pollution abatement. See a list of most of them here :
 From theuniversalantidote.com:
 Alcide Corporation had patents for treating wound disinfection, donated human blood and blood component disinfection, an oral rinse for prevention and treatment of infection, formulations for anti-inflammatory diseases including psoriasis, fungal infections, eczema, dandruff, acne, genital herpes, and leg ulcers. Other products included topical applications for preventing and treating bacterial infections including udder mastitis, in mammals.
 In his patent for treating sinusitis , numerous other chlorine dioxide patents by his and other companies for the treatment of various mucosal and skin conditions were cited:

 A full list of Alcide’s patents can be found here , with the most relevant ones for Alcide and Frontier listed below:
 Wound disinfection and repair

 Composition and procedure for disinfecting blood and blood components

 Oral rinse for prevention and treatment of infection

 F ormulations for treatment of inflammatory diseases , including psoriasis, fungal infections, eczema, dandruff, acne, genital herpes, and leg ulcers.

 Products for topical prevention and treatment of udder mastitis in mammals

 Patents for a method of treating cancer with chlorine dioxide injections.

 Methods were also developed and patented for treating lower genital tract infections (vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis, (involving intra-vaginal or intra-uterine infusions).

 Other products under development were systemic anti-inflammatory formulations and methods for reducing inflammation in tissues such as bowel, muscle, bone, tendon, and joints.

 Never forget the 1988 NASA report where they called Alcide “the universal antidote”, highlighting its immense impacts on the dairy industry:
 Caused by bacteria, bovine mastitis is an inflammation of a cow's mammary gland that results in loss of milk production and, in extreme cases, death. According to the National Mastitis Council, it is the largest cause of financial loss for the U.S. dairy industry, amounting to about $2 billion annually. The University of Massachusetts Department of Animal Sciences, Amherst, conducted a year-long test of products that might be the answer to effective treatment and prevention of the disease,
 The Alcide compound has killed all tested bacteria, virus and fungi shortly after contact, with minimal toxic effect on humans or animals. The Massachusetts tests have shown Alcide's teat dip to be effective against a wide range of mastitis-causing organisms; the product has also demonstrated that it is non-toxic and does not irritate the udder.
 Alcide Corporation credits the existence of the mastitis treatment/prevention products to assistance provided the company by the New England Research Application Center (NERAC), one of NASA's nine Industrial Application Centers, which provide information retrieval services and technical help to industry and government clients.
 Basically, NASA gave it the name “The Universal Antidote” because Alcide had an impact on so many industries in addition to the dairy industry. Again from the NASA article:
 “The disinfectant/deodorizer is one of a wide range of Alcide formulations engineered for a variety of purposes, spanning automotive, medical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and consumer markets.
 However, for unknown reasons, Howard Alliger left the company and as a condition was not allowed to continue research in chlorine dioxide for 10 years . The subsequent direction of the original Alcide corporation, after Alliger left, soon veered away from therapeutic applications to focus more on industrial ones. As per the Universal Antidote documentary:
 In 2004, the multi-billion dollar company called EcoLab acquired Alcide Corporation and the CEO stated “We believe the transaction of Alcide is attractively priced for Alcide Shareholders, and will allow Alcide to accelerate growth for its products and improve opportunities for its employees.”
 However, after the purchase, research and development of chlorine dioxide for human applications seem to have stopped and Alcide products were re-branded with a strong focus on industrial and agricultural use.
 From his daughter Valerie:
 My dad was so eager to continue the development of the technology. It wasn’t being utilized for so much of its potential. And, just as an aside, supposedly the shareholders were not in favor of the Ecolab deal.
 However, at the age of 66, his non-compete agreement with Alcide expired so Alliger promptly started a new company called Arco Research where he continued to develop products. Arco later was renamed Frontier Pharmaceutical which currently sells a number of oral hygiene, nasal spray, skin and wound care products here . They have also performed preliminary and promising studies on their intra-tumor cancer treatment and hope to continue that research with the help of outside support.
 Again from his daughter and Frontier CEO Valerie Alliger-Bograd:
 Frontier then did a lot to advance the technology to make it more user friendly and shelf stable. My dad wrote several more patents to speed the release of ClO2 and at a higher and more physiologically agreeable pH. This led to the mouthwash, toothpaste and Snoot! nasal spray products. We also figured out how to make a stable gel with ClO2. And most notably, and quite amazingly, my dad figured out how to stabilize the ClO2 into a single ClO2 complex which eliminated the need to mix the two parts. These products are shelf stable for 1.5 years at room temp and longer if kept cold. This complex is actually a new molecule called chlorodioxyurea, rather than being straight chlorine dioxide. All our testing of this single part complex has found that the products are just as efficacious as the two part system.
 Also, at Frontier, we began testing beyond topical uses. My dad felt strongly that ClO2 would cure AIDS and in the late 1990s we did an IV trial in monkeys (truthfully, offhand I forget if they were drinking or injecting it). We were actually testing straight sodium chlorite instead of ClO2 because (and there may be more to it than this) since ClO2 breaks down in the body so quickly into chlorite, chlorite and chloride) he figured on using just the chlorite. The study ended because the monkeys overdosed overnight while no one was monitoring the automatic doses. We ran out of money so couldn’t continue.
 We have done a lot of testing over the past 40 some odd years on so many things.
 In fact, below is an article attesting to the fact that studies done by the Director of the Naval Research laboratory at Boston University Medical Schools found that Alcide killed HIV in mammalian cell cultures without damaging the cells. They also found that blood taken from baboons and treated with Alcide did not damage any of the blood components and could be safely re-transfused into the baboons. So, Alcide could “disinfect” donated blood prior to transfusion?

 Ultimately, Howard Alliger’s contributions to the science of chlorine dioxide remain unparalleled and truly historic. He is remembered as having a unique set of personal qualities which I believe led to his achievements. As per the Frontier Pharma website:
 Howard’s contributions have been extraordinary. He was an outside-the box-thinker, an entrepreneur, seeker of knowledge and truth, and always unconventional - but above all, incredibly determined.
 For those who know me, I cherish those qualities deeply.
 I leave you with a picture of Howard in his later years with his daughter Valerie who joined Frontier Pharma 25 years ago and now is President and owner of the company since his death:

They also claim that I am Board certified which I am no longer, whoops…

Summary: In the 1970's, Howard Alliger, a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur recognized the therapeutic potential of chlorine dioxide to treat human skin, nasal, and oral diseases (among many other uses).
