Stabilized Oxygen Health Topic
Stabilized oxygen is oxygen in molecular form. It is used as a non-toxic water purifier. The main constituent of stabilized oxygen is sodium chlorite, which breaks down into chlorine dioxide when it comes in contact with an acid that triggers the reaction. Chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing biocide which is effective against bacteria, fungus, and viruses.

Vitamin "O": The Stabilised Oxygen Story
Stabilised Oxygen actually puts oxygen in to the blood without the process of breathing. It cannot over-oxidize the cells because the iron atoms on the red blood cells can only release the amount of oxygen which the cells can use. When taken orally, Stabilised Oxygen is non toxic. Stabilized oxygen works simply releasing chlorite ions, trace amounts of sodium and chlorine dioxide, plus substantial amounts of molecular oxygen. The reaction is triggered when the stabilized oxygen comes into contact with the strong acids found in the stomach and becomes highly unstable, breaking down immediately. The chlorite, a major constituent of Stabilised Oxygen, and one of its reaction products (Chlorine dioxide) are extremely effective viricides, bactericides, and fungicides. Stabilised Oxygen is a high concentrate of oxygen. That is, oxygen in molecular form. It can be added to contaminated water ( 20 to 30 drops per litre) and left to stand for 24 hours to completely neutralize any potential harmful water -borne pathogens that may be present.

Sodium Chlorite on Wikipedia
The main application of sodium chlorite is the generation of chlorine dioxide for bleaching. It is also used for disinfection of a few municipal water treatment plants after conversion to chlorine dioxide. An advantage in this application, as compared to the more commonly used chlorine, is that trihalomethanes are not produced from organic contaminants. Sodium chlorite also finds application as a component in therapeutic rinses, mouthwashes, toothpastes and gels, mouth sprays, chewing gums and lozenges, and also in contact lens cleaning solution. It is used for sanitizing air ducts and HVAC/R systems and animal containment areas.

Chlorine Dioxide: What You Can't Tell From the Name
While chlorine dioxide has chlorine in its name, its chemistry is radically different from that of chlorine. Both chlorine and chlorine dioxide are oxidizing agents -- electron receivers. Chlorine has the capacity to take in two electrons, whereas chlorine dioxide can absorb five.

Chlorine Dioxide
Like ozone and chlorine, chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing biocide. Chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms by disruption of the transport of nutrients across the cell wall. Adding an acid to the required concentration activates the disinfectant. The effectivety of chlorine dioxide is at least as high as chlorines, though at lower concentrations. Chlorine dioxide is the most selective oxidant, reacting only with reduced sulphur compounds, secondary and tertiary amines, and some other highly reduced and reactive organics. This allows much lower dosages. Chlorine dioxide is superior to chlorine in the destruction of spores, bacteria's, viruses and other pathogen organisms on an equal residual base. The required contact time for ClO2 is lower. Chlorine dioxide has better solubility. Chlorine dioxide is an excellent product for washing vegetables. The ability to kill spores, viruses and fungi at low concentrations is essential. It is safe to use and complies with food regulations. It is a very powerful disinfectant and biocide It has been proven beyond doubt that chlorine dioxide removes biofilm from water systems and prevents it from forming when dosed at a continuous low level.
