I got some STS after doing a deep dive, reading many posts here and elsewhere and watching Tony Pantalleresco's (spelling?) video - I got some! I am looking forward to the results especially helping clear out the colon. I have suffered constipation, gas and major bloating my whole life and have tried all of the things to minimal results. From psyllium husk to laxatives to enemas to senna tea and all in between. The senna tea worked but only for a while and no longer does. The natural caplets and tables - same. I realized I probably have some compacted stuff and am backed up from my ignorant stage of life, when I ate garbage all the time. When I came across STS I got somewhat excited to use this.
I took 3 small grains in 1 liter of water and drank it through the day yesterday. Nothing. Today I took 1/2 tsp with 1/2 tsp ascorbic acid. Nada. Tomorrow I will take a heaping tsp full like Tony P. suggests. My question is does this cause Herxheimer reactions and if so to what degree. Or is it just major clean out of the pooper? I don't want to be surprised and wiped out for days on end - if I will be, i'd like to plan it out. I thank anyone who responds with anymore information!
Thank you earth clinic and everyone who contributes, this platform is gold!! Xo

I have started with the sts pentahydrate crystals with one in a glass of water but so far on day 3 I feel no effects so some questions: is the effect cumulative and if so then at this dose how many days before I feel anything? If it is not cumulative then what do I do?
I am taking the sts first thing in the morning but do not use 1000mg until supper which I take with 600 mg of time release calciium carbonate. Is this use of vitamin C later in the day still of use in the instruction to use vitamin C with the sts? If not and has to be close together should the tablet (some time release and some not) be swollowed while drinking the mixture or if not how long before or after? I take the 600 mg of Calcium with vitaminn D3 (which also reco's the Vitamin C at same time) as my research indicates that if u do not get enough calcium per day (actual suggested 1200mg but hope I get rest from brockley etc) then the body takes calcium from your bones. this is just recent as I had thought that Ca supps were bad end of story. If I have to take Vit C in morning at or near time of sts can I take the Ca at that time too?
I am using Zero filtered water from a zero water pitcher and it has to be 006 or less ppm to use and I have a tds meter and above change the filter. Is this kind of water okay to use or do I have to buy distilled? tds is total dissolved solids. thanks for ur help - this is my first post here

It's also quite well-known that sodium thiosulfate(ST) is quite safe to use at dosages of between 1 to 3 teaspoons a day. The Material Safety Datasheet(MSDS) for ST is 2,000 mgs/kg for a Rat(Oral) which means that sodium thiosulfate has the same or similar toxicity profile as common table salt. ST is also commonly used by modern doctors in large IV dosages as an anti-dote for arsenic and cyanide poisoning.
Since I determined that all my unpleasant intestinal gas problems were caused by bad gut bacteria and since ST is a known anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-biofilm -- that's really why I decided to take it in large doses to help clear out all the bad bacteria causing my awful bloatedness. The other advantage of using ST was that it is so poorly absorbed into the blood from the intestines. When ingested, only between 5% to 8% ST is absorbed into the blood. So if we assume 8% then fora 4 gm dose (1 teaspoon) then only 4000 x 8/100 = 320 mgs is actually absorbed into the blood, which is a small and fairly safe amount.
My current status is that I came off this protocol after taking it for about two weeks and all the intestinal bloating and gas is now gone and I feel so much better. I can breath easier again because nothing is pressing up against my diaphragm anymore. Not sure if it's a cure yet but I'll keep you posted. I will probably have another two week spell using my version of the protocol to make absolutely sure that the bacteria causing the intestinal bloat is gone for good. I've also noticed that this ST protocol will also help you lose weight(I have certainly lost a few pounds over that two week period).
My own appraisal as to why this ST + AA protocol worked so well was probably due to it's anti-biotic, anti-fungal and anti-bofilm capability. As well, ST also detoxes heavy metals and also dissolves calcium, which aids in removing biofilm and also acts to help remove faeces that has been impacted and hardened on the inner intestinal walls over the years. So the ST protocol should actually have the same or similar effect over time as a colon cleanse in helping to remove all the old and impacted faeces and microbials hiding therein.
I'll post more results from this protocol when I can.

I hear that Sodium Thiosulfate treats a variety of skin conditions, plus it de-chlorinates water.
My question is: What would be a good volume of Sodium Thiosulfate crystals to add to a standard (UK) bath of approx. 100 litres?
Thanks to anyone that offers advice :)

I found an USP grade Sodium Thiosulfate from the below company in the anhydrous form and it is triple the price as the other form. It appears that the Pentahydrate form is lab grade / reagent grade and thus not as pure nor recommended as safe for ingestion. I welcome anyone's feedback on this.

I have a heel spur that I want to soak it in a foot bath. Then I'd like to take it internally for general detox.
Thank you,

After reading Ted’s posts on it, for the various uses, it’s a must in my medicine cupboard. I use it every time I go to the dentist and have any tooth work done (I’ve had all my old amalgams removed, but still deal with brain fog, concentration and sometimes fatigue)
I use it once a week as a long term metal detox (3 drops with 1000mg vit C in water) And also for toxin exposure from paint (my lungs, kidneys and liver sometimes don’t feel good after breathing fumes of even the eco friendly latex paint)
I have used it for allergic skin reactions from applied skin products and accidentally getting bleach on my skin. (Apply the liquid diluted with a little water, and rinse off till it’s no longer slippery and then wash again with soap and water.)
We love you Ted!!!!

I am 49 yr, I was faced a stroke with seizure first time in july 17. Also very low blood sodium level at that time admitted in hospital. During Hospitalization I was detected calcified plaques in neck blood arteries & many tiny plaques in aorta.checkup .During Hospitalization I was detected calcified plaques in neck blood arteries & many tiny calcified plaques in aorta. Now I am under control treatment of doctor. Daily taking tablets. My doctor told me we can suggest u only regular medicine. During Hospitalization I was detected calcified plaques in neck blood arteries & many tiny plaques in aorta. Now I think no doctor won't suggest root cause medicine. Now kindly guide me to get rid from this problem.

Hope every thing is normal with you now after that bad experience of rain you had.
I read the article under the following link which talks about the Sodium thiosulphate Link:
There is a lady of 93 yrs of age mother of my friend living in other city, suffering from, seems arthritis due to which she used to have severe pain and could not bend the hand fingers. I helped by giving the mix of Mag.Oil and DMSO. It has helped her a lot and she is very happy. But now she has informed me that there is no pain but she is not able to hold the spoon to eat her meals (though at the beginning she said she can hold the spoon). What I feel is that she wants some more relief.
I feel that there is quite a bit of calcification in the joints of the fingers and that is why it is difficult for her to hold the spoon with the fingers.
In the above article, the author states that Sodium thiosulphate can eliminate the calcification, therefore my request to you is to give me your opinion as to how can I use Sodium thiosulphate to help her. Shall I mix this with the liquid I am already sending her if yes how much should I mix. My solution is 50% Mag.Oil( it is good concentration) + 50%, 80% DMSO , this has been working very well with many people. Other options are I can make separate solution of Sodium thiosulphate and DMSO which she can apply at different times and in that how much Sodium Thiosulphate. Why I am asking this is because I had read some where that you take two drops of 10% of sodium thiosulphate.
Kindly give your advice. Thanks, Baldev

Purpose: to increase sulphur intake.
For proof of efficacy of topical STS, see:

See clinical photos of a "dramatic diminution of a large calcification treated with topical sodium thiosulfate.

I have used this formula every night for two weeks and have noticed a considerable improvement in health. It was clear from the odor that metals were being removed from my system.

You can also measure out and make a 10% water solution of sodium thiosulfate and just take 6 to 10 drops of that solution in a glass of water on a daily basis.
I use the 10% sodium thiosulfate solution which I bought from an aquatics or aquaculture shop. This has served me well for many years. I've always found sodium thiosulfate easy to take with no problems. But Ted warns that, the first time you take the sodium thiosulfate, you may well get diarrhea and after that no more diarrhea. Sodium thiosulfate not only removes heavy metals but also removes cyanide, arsenic and chlorine so it is highly useful for the body. I've also found that taking ST also helps me to sleep as well, very relaxing. That's why I usually take it at night before bed.

I have heard STS can be taken intravenously, could you use the same solution or would other steps be involved to purify it for injection?

Warning
The problem is that Sodium Thiosulfate combines/reacts with Chloramine and that releases Ammonia, which we all know is very dangerous!
This must be addressed. Benefiting from Sodium Thiosulfate's benefits while enhancing Ammonia levels is a real danger.
Any feedback/precautions/fixes are more than welcome :)
Many thanks,
