SUMMARY This article is written to
encourage medical teams around the world to contact COVID-19 patients already
treated with Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS), a water soluble gas. To also
contact the medical teams that accompany the study cases in order to verify the
real health conditions of the patients. Finally, the question is asked whether
CDS should be tested in their respective local healthcare settings, as it is
low cost, appears highly effective against all viral infections and has almost
no side effects. KEY WORDS: CDS; Chlorine Dioxide Solution; COVID-19; Declaration

COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than 4,3 million confirmed cases and more
than 290.000 deaths worldwide. The pandemic has changed the world forever.
Social, economic, environmental and health changes [1] have strongly questioned
how humanity can respond to this and other invasive threats so rapidly. This
article aims to encourage medical teams to follow what has been done in some
countries where COVID19 patients have been successfully treated with CDS
(Chlorine Dioxide Solution). bags against viruses such as HIV and other
pathogens [3], why not try it in patients with COVID-19 having then so few
treatment alternatives. These trials resulted in the recovery of all patents
treated in just four days of treatment [2]. Taking into account the declaration
of the Helsinki World Medical Association - section No. 37, which states that
"Every doctor is authorized to use new or unproven preventive, diagnostic
and therapeutic procedures", and the fact that thousands of patients who
suffered from this COVI-19 infection were dying, in May 2020, Ecuadorian doctors
decided to test chlorine dioxide in solution to treat 104 patients. These
patients signed, under notarial verification, an authorization and discharge to
receive this treatment [2].
They used the CDS
recognizing that, on the one hand, viruses are known to be absolutely sensitive
to oxidation and, on the other hand, if it works in human blood
What is the CDS? This gas
molecule (ClO2) is highly soluble in water. Once in solution, the gas gives a
yellowish color, by physical refraction. To date, it has not been introduced in
the conventional pharmacopoeia as an active ingredient, although since 1994 it
has been used on a mandatory basis to disinfect and preserve blood bags for
transfusions, following its patented use as an antiviral agent in 1991 [3]. It
is also used in most of the bottled waters suitable for consumption, as it does
not leave toxic residues. Furthermore, the gas evaporates at temperatures above
11ºC.
How does CDS work on
viruses (and bacteria)? The small size of viruses (and bacteria) allows oxygen
to oxidize them very quickly, without affecting the larger cells of living
organisms infected by viruses or bacteria [4]. The precise action is on nucleic
acids. Nucleic acids, DNARNA, are made up of a chain of purine and pyrimidine
bases, guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A), and thymine / uracil. 2020; 7: 2

(T / U) patients. Guanine bases, found in both RNA and DNA, are very sensitive
to oxidation, forming 8oxoguanine as a by-product of it. Therefore, when the
ClO2 molecule comes into contact with guanine and oxidizes it, leading to the
formation of 8-oxoguanine, it then blocks the replication of the viral nucleic
acid by base pairing. Although the replication of the protein capsid may
continue, the formation of the fully functional virus is blocked by oxidation
thanks to ClO2.
The oxygen in ClO2 seems to
move faster in the bloodstream as it does not need hemoglobin to be
transported. This hypothesis would explain, according to the recorded data, why
patients treated with CDS and suffering from COVID-19, recovered their oxygen
saturation levels so quickly [2]. In the past, this gas and related molecules
have been tested against various viruses, bacteria but also other larger
parasites such as fungi and yeast [5]. Furthermore, CDS has extremely low
toxicity against humans in the short and long term (5,6,7,8,9,10). These
studies did not show harmful effects on physiological characteristics such as
pulse, respiratory rate and temperature, or on biochemical parameters such as
glucose, urea nitrogen, phosphates, alkaline phosphatase, transaminases or
thyroid excretions. Neither hemolysis nor anemia were detected at doses of 24
ppm per day for two weeks. Chlorine dioxide was safe even for drinking water,
as demonstrated in a study of 198 people for 115 days [11]. The global
overreaction applied on people such as social blockade seems to cause more
problems than the virus itself [12]. The few treatments still available, the high
costs
