Everybody can make ClO2, you simply mix sodium chlorite with acid. This patent seems to not be about making big money but about treating cancer. There have been thousands of people who cured their cancer with it so it's high time a study proves it.
Right, patents don't prove, studies do. There are quite a few studies that do prove the potency of chlorine dioxide. A patent may it give them validity.
Also ofc it's potent. It's chlorine dioxide - it's reactive! Whether it kills the cancer safely is a whole other question. Something can 'work' but not be safe. Like it can kill the cancer, but it might turn out that the amount they need to do the job also screws your liver irreparably. So yeah, it works if you're in China and can buy a new liver.

It's a patent. Not a cure. They're just HOPING it works. This is the START of the process. You can patent all sorts of things, doesn't mean they work.
Also it's a crazy patent given that ClO2 isn't gonna be hard to make.

It hasn't proved anything. It's a patent.
