Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating or inhibiting at least one of allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, or of reducing, inhibiting or treating allergy like symptoms. The methods use compositions comprising chlorite, chloride, chlorate and/or sulfate ions.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for treating neoplastic disorders and uses thereof are provided. Said pharmaceutical compositions comprise stabilized chlorite solutions (e.g. WFIO) and a fluoropyrimidine, 5-FU, or a 5-FU prodrug (e.g. capecitabine, doxifluridine, UFT, S-1, or BOF-A2). The use of the above stabilized chlorite solution in combination with a fluoropyrimidine dramatically improves the quality of life index (QOL) of a patient undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Cancers that can be treated include cancers of the pancreas, gastrointestinal, head, neck, and breast.
