Yeah, let's start there on how the body actually manages to produce its own hypochlorous acid.
And the category that you're referring to are the white blood cells, particularly just one type of white blood cell called neutrophil.
And when we get a bacteria or a virus or something like that in the body, the neutrophil grabs it, engulfs it, builds a little membrane around it and takes it inside the cell.
I mean, it creates all these free radicals, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and just a little bit of hypochlorous acid.
under unusual conditions, and so the amount it generates is pretty concentrated locally.
And it just explodes it, just like in an AOP system or very similar also to a chlorine generator system in there because it's using the electricity from the cell because our bodies, our cells are really little electrical generators.
And so it's generating electricity chlorine, dumping it onto this bacteria and zapping it.
And then the debris kind of floats around and the macrophages come in and they absorb the debris and they clear it out and it goes out with our urine usually.
And so yes, our limited number of cells will create chlorine in the body under very tightly controlled conditions.
And that's why we don't have the allergic reactions inside the body because it's so tightly controlled, more tightly controlled than we can really technically describe at this point.
I am so glad to have a PhD microbiologist explain that because the way I say it is clearly not that detailed.
I say, what do you eat a lot of in your food? And what is 80% of your body made of? And you know, 80% of your body is what Roy?
