Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet millions of people worldwide lack access to clean water, leading to water-borne diseases and related health issues. In response, various water purification and disinfection methods have been developed, including MMS/BEE. MMS, also known as chlorine dioxide, is a solution claimed to have disinfectant properties, while BEE is a proprietary solution often used in conjunction with MMS. However, concerns have been raised about the safety and efficacy of these solutions, leading to a search for alternative methods.

The use of MMS (Master Mineral Solution) and BEE (a proprietary solution often used in conjunction with MMS) for water purification and disinfection has gained popularity in recent years. However, concerns have been raised about the safety and efficacy of these solutions. This paper reviews the existing literature on MMS/BEE and explores alternative, free, or low-cost methods for water purification and disinfection. We evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of these alternatives, including solar disinfection, boiling, ceramic filtration, and other methods. Our analysis suggests that while MMS/BEE may have some benefits, there are several alternative methods that are equally or more effective, and often free or low-cost.
