Dyshidrosis (opinion on treatment) ??



Dyshidrosis is a skin condition of the hands and feet. It has been
recommended that I check out taking Sodium Chlorite internally.

From what I've read Sodium Chlorite is used as a disinfectant to treat
water supplies, swimming pools, etc. When mixed with something citric
it turns into Chlorine Dioxide gas and that has an effect on only the
'bad' stuff in water.

I guess the theory is that the body is 70% water and taking Sodium
Chlorite will disinfect a person's insides. The Chloine Dioxide is
flushed from the body and is only 'active' for a couple of hours...and
not supposed to harm healthy tissue.

One concern is the 'warning' about not breathing the gas fumes after
mixing with a citric. The internal recommendation is to mix a few
drops with lemon juice (citric) and drink it (goes into the stomach,
which is also citric). One anedotal report mentioned 'nausea' as a
side effect.

I would appreciate learning more about this 'treatment'.... it's
safety or harmfulness.
