[edit] Chlorite = chlorate(III)

I'm not sure if I am right, but under other names it said sodium chlorate. I am working with an article about sodium chlorate in norwegian, and it got a different formula, NaClO₃ instead of NaClO₂.

The infobox is correct, chlorite and chlorate(III) are the same thing, namely ClO₂⁻. Chlorate = chlorate(V) = ClO₃⁻.

See Chlorate#Stock_notation.

[edit] Health Uses of

I got a bottle of clear liquid which is supposed to be sodium chlorite. I'm supposed to put 2-15 drops in a tablespoon of vinegar,let it set for 3 min, add 1/2 cup of water and drink.

This is supposed to help apparently with infections. I noticed the main page suggested it for mouthwash.  My boyfriend says it totally stopped a tooth ache he had from an abcess. He thought it might help with an infection I have in my lungs, nose.  A bad cold or the flu.
 The main page also suggested it normally is solid, my bottle says its 25% sodium chlorite.
 If this talk is inappropritate,you have my permission to remove it.
