Sodium Thiosulfate, one of the critical medicines in the treatment of cyanide poisoning, is getting increasing respect as a powerful natural detoxing agent. It is also used to restore rivers and streams that have been polluted with heavy metals, and it is in that respect that people are beginning to apply it to natural health care.

Earth Clinic readers have been using Sodium Thiosulfate for heavy metal detoxing, destroying candida biofilms, increasing sulfur in the body, and eliminating chlorine from tap water.

What is Sodium Thiosulfate?

Sodium thiosulfate is a colorless crystal of sodium, sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen. Both the EPA and FDA consider it a safe substance and permit its inclusion in foods such as table salt. It is often present at therapeutic bath spas or thermal spas.

Uses and Benefits of Sodium Thiosulfate

Sodium thiosulfate is a powerful detoxing agent to remove mercury and other heavy metals from the body.

It is also a topical anti-fungal such as can be used for ringworm. People also report that it trims the waistline and improves sleep and dream recall!

The famous Ted from Bangkok recommended Sodium Thiosulfate to Earth Clinic readers as early as 2002. He was one of the first health advocates to suggest ST for heavy metal cleansing and remove chlorine from tap water for safer consumption. He also used it to treat cyanide poisoning from apricot seeds in patients using them as an adjunct cancer treatment. ST is mentioned in scores of Ted's posts on Earth Clinic.

Bill Thompson, author of Earth Clinic's popular book, Candida: Killing So Sweetly, also recommends Sodium Thiosulfate as part of his anti-candida protocol.

How to Take Sodium Thiosulfate Internally

Sodium Thiosulfate is used internally to remove chlorine, cyanide, and heavy metals. It is available in a liquid solution or a dry, crystal form.

 

Liquid Sodium Thiosulfate Dosage

 

• If you are using 10% sodium thiosulfate, add 6-10 drops to a liter of water. 
• If you are trying to remove heavy metals from the body, use this amount a couple of times a week.
• If you have a 30% solution of sodium thiosulfate, use only 2-3 drops in a liter of water.

 

Dry Crystal Sodium Thiosulfate Dosage

• If you have the dry form of sodium thiosulfate, add 1 pellet (about the size of a grain of rice) to a tall glass of water or 2-3 pellets to a liter of water. Stir well and wait until the pellet has fully dissolved before drinking slowly.

Tips

• Sodium Thiosulfate can cause diarrhea as it removes toxins. If you are bothered by this side effect, reduce the amount of sodium thiosulfate you take.
• Taking vitamin C when you are taking sodium thiosulfate will help your body handle the detoxification.
• Sodium thiosulfate may also remove other minerals from your body. If you use sodium thiosulfate regularly, you may need a multi-mineral supplement.
• It is not recommended that you take sodium thiosulfate for more than 4 weeks as it can leech out too many minerals and cause side effects from magnesium and potassium deficiencies.

Topical Application of Sodium Thiosulfate

Sodium Thiosulfate is used topically to dissolve certain types of calcifications and fungal conditions like tinea versicolor and ringworm.

• A 25% sodium thiosulfate solution is used 2-4 times a day for four weeks to treat tinea versicolor, a condition similar to ringworm and athlete’s foot.
• Sodium thiosulfate is also used topically to reduce calcium deposits. A 10% solution is applied to the calcification a couple of times a day. Below is an image showing dramatic improvements in a bone calcification.

 

Side Effects of Sodium Thiosulfate

 

Side effects from the use of sodium thiosulfate can include diarrhea, dehydration. Agitation and changes in both thoughts and vision can also occur. Nausea and tinnitus are also possible.

Here is what one Earth Clinic reader advises in a post on Earth Clinic:

Happy from Up The Creek writes: "Thiosulfate report: Be careful when using thiosulfate as a toxin remover, chelator: The thiosulfate may also remove too many critical nutrients, like copper, calcium, iron, magnesium; if used without a plan...

...This experiment proves to me that the sodium thiosulfate [plus the EDTA in the formula] is a powerful chelator of metals, and therefore is capable of chelating heavy metal, etc. but You must restrict its use to short periods of time; maybe 1 week per month for general chelating. And supplement heavily with nutritional minerals while on it. In the future, I would only intake it one time per day, at bedtime, away from food, in a cycle of One week on, 3 weeks off. It would be good to keep in the house for emergency use for accidental poisonings or suspected poisonings. Perhaps taking it for 3 days after the suspected poisoning occurred, as insurance."

Sodium Thiosulfate Reviews

Below are some very interesting reviews from Amazon from those who took sodium thiosulfate as an anti-candida protocol for weight loss, heavy metal cleansing, and much more:

Notadonna: ..." Purity is important with this product for personal use. I learned of sodium thiosulfate from a candida protocol in the book: Candida--Killing So Sweetly by Bill Thompson. This is helping remove biofilm, inside and out. Thompson recommends 6-10 drops of 10% solution. The seller was quick to answer how to create the 10%; it'the ratio by weight (1:9, s.t. and water). My scale indicated 1 Tblsp. s.t. to 2/3 C. water.  I've experimented with a long list of things to kill skin parasites and a subtle fungus. A very effective remedy is so simple. I fill a 2 cup container with borax and about 2 tablespoons of s.t. Add just enough liquid Dr. Bronner's liquid castille soap to cover. Scrub scalp and let set while scrubbing all over. Try to let each area absorb some before rinsing. Dry well with a textured, fresh towel. Do this at least once a day., along with salt or clay baths 12 hours later. For severe infections, reapply a solution of borax or Epsom salt with a little sodium thiosulfate after bathing and let it dry. ( I have spent a fortune on way less effective ingredients.) This is a godsend. Thank you! "

April: "I have heavy metals and too much calcium in my brain. Did some test and they wanted a crap load of money and wanted to inject this in my veins and EDTA. I Did some research and EDTA sucks! Zeolite and (STS) is best. This is my own opinion and do what you like. This stuff makes me sleep deeply and dreams that I would never forget. Controling those dreams too!!! Something I haven't done since I was a kid. Yes tonight I am Superman! Take only 5grams at first and smaller the dose the better. Follow it up with zeolite. To really pull some metals get some Cilantro and MSM. Dose and timing must be thought of before taking!!! Oh, Detox baths with this is a must. Add some clay and borax , salts"

Patricia: "I take 5 grams STS with 5 grams vitamin C (about one teaspoon). I'm on my 5th day of this, It's s clearing out the heavy metals and biofilm and I am feeling better by the day. "

Radiant Alchemy: "We love this stuff, it really works. I am a health practitioner for over 20 years and grew up cleansing, doing enemas and detoxing for spiritual and health benefits and I can tell you, this is one of the only detoxes that is powerful enough to cut through the toxic load most people are being subjected to. Whether it is mold, fungal, bacterial, parasitic, chemical or nano-particulates that you are dealing with you will find relief using STS along with a rotation of other organic minerals and substances, lots of distilled water rotated with a good mineral water and ofcourse real probiotic not from a bottle, to replenish the body after using it. Happy Detoxing!"

David A.: "My hopes are big. I used this twice and already noticed a difference in my digestive system. Waistline is reduced and tummy is flatter. I will order again when I run out. This is good stuff."

Red Moon: "Ok this cba gets the game for my digestion and tummy size... a chemist recommended 5grams so about a teaspoon of this with 5 grams of vitamins C acerbic acid taken at the same time before bed.. omg this helps release the mucus sheath that o or timelines the small intestine and blocks the absorption of vital nutrients..  Be prepared to hydrate before during and after and eat a bit of whole Himalayan salt allow your instincts to tell you what you need.. with this solution you will likely expel the slippery sheath that's blocking absorption and causing bloat and other issues... life saver.. taste is awful bit just down it real quick and open your mouth and take a bit of citrus and you'll be fine. Stay near a toilet... it took about 5 hours for it to work on me.

My waist shrank appetite lessened (be sure to take your vitamins) and pounds shed skin looks great too! Use sparingly like once every 6 months or if you've been eating excessive mucus creating foods then maybe quarterly. Definitely before the holidays. Most doctors don't know about this but please be responsible with your health and find a professional near you and ask. Ask your pharmacist if ita ok to use if you're on any current medications they know more regarding that than most doctors."
