TOPIC:

Hello all. Please read this may help you.
I am new to MMS and have been very unwell for 8 years with a wide range of problems which started with a major case of gut dysbiosis which followed the use of antibiotics in 2005. I have suffered ever since from multiple allergies and intolerances causing many symptoms- severe sinus inflammation, digestive troubles ( also related to low gut flora) and in particular abnormally excessive mucus production throughout the body, especially the lungs, throat, sinuses and digestive tract. This mucus is produced whenever food or anything is consumed.

Over 95 % of all foods and food items, herbs, drinks etc etc cause such severe mucus production it is intolerable. Almost all herbal medicines and remedies are intolerable, such as all tried means of replenishing intestinal flora: i.e. bentomite clay, lacto fermented foods and drinks (suerkraut, kombucha), and all so far tried man made probioitcs for example (acidophilus, bifidobacteria etc), plus yoghurt etc etc and virtually all supplements, vitamins, you name it. A rock and a hard place so to speak.

I think I would maybe benefit from probiotics tailored to my gut through lab analysis which I know is available in the US but it would cost too much and I can't predict how it would affect me.

For 5 years now I have suffered chronic recurring bronchitis, frequent viral infections, urine infections and am ill at least half of the time or more. I have overcome candida and several chronic long term systemic bacterial infections through homeopathy and natural means (oregano oil, colloidal and vulcan silver, essential oils, good diet etc etc) but still I am plagued by all manner of infections which rule my life.

Hence I have decided to try MMS having heard so much about it.

I started it last week. I overcame a severe and stubborn chest infection of 3 weeks in hours by avoiding food and taking hourly doses last tuesday, increasing by one drop per hour up to 6 drops, 32 drops in 7 hours after which I became nauseated and was sick.

But something was definately cleared out of me- I felt the difference, my illness of 3 weeks had gone and I felt fresher. I continued with one or 2 doses per day up to 5 drops until friday morning. However I was experiencing severe sinus inflammation every time I took the MMS which is usual for me with most things. I have read about MMS and considered that it might be a healing reaction, or pathogens dying in the sinuses, but I also wondered if it might just be an allergy.

On friday my chiropractor muscle tested me for it using "total body modification" similar to "kinesiology". Yes I was allergic to MMS and it is affecting my heart alarmingly (there is always a specific body part which an allergy seems to weaken with this muscle testing system, which must then be treated to treat the allergy, by tapping in a sequence on the spinal areas corresponding to that organ in connection to the allergen.) This often brings immediate relief from most allergies, foods, inhalers, herbs etc and it relly works instantly, by correcting the imbalance of frequency between your own body and the allergen- it is purely vibrational.

My chiropractor then checked my heart and found a problem with the left valve. I later noticed that my heart did not feel right and was beating heavily, with breathlessness and faitigue, classic heart valve symptoms.
These heart symptoms more or less disappeared the day after I stopped the MMS so I didn't know what to make of it. I was open to the possibility that there is a pathogen in the heart but didn't know what was going on really.
However, I had experienced a huge improvement in the mucus and upper respiratory symptoms I suffer- much less mucus in the upper respiratory systemm and better breathing, easier to manage all round. It has already taken a load off my plate when I have suffered so much over the past 18 months with these symptoms in particular being completely unmanageable.

But the severe sinus inflammation the MMS ingestion is triggering and the issue with the heart is a lot to handle still.

Yesterday I visited a homeopath who uses a "vega machine" which measures electrical impulses in the body to accurately identify and diagnose specific problems, infections, imbalances etc. It was the first time I have seen her for 2 years.

Last time I saw her I was treating a systemic "mycoplasma" infection which I had had in my body most of my life. Through prescribed vibrational homeopathic medicine (which truly works by the way) and "vulcan silver" (1000 times more concentrated than colloidal silver) I had eliminated the mycoplasma from everywhere in my body except for the lungs by the last time I saw her and was on the home stretch.

I also had completely cleared a "Bruscella"bacterial infection at the same time. I had no idea how much mycoplasma was left in the lungs as I hadn't been tested for 2 years. But to my surprise, it had completely gone! That shows you can beat these guys (even before MMS). It had been in my body possibly my whole life and was part of the furniture, but through homeopathy and a little extra help form the silver, plus ,maybe a zapper, some urine therapy and regular use of high grade essential oils, rawarlic, good diet and so on (but mainly the homeopathy I believe) it was cleared completely at last.

However I have had an awful 2 years since then with over 500 days of chest infection and 15 months of chronic recurring urinary infections of all kinds, and couldn't get back to see the homeopath because she went on maternity leave. This time she found 2 separate infections:

"Cocksackie A virus"- in the lungs, digestive system and urinary system,

and "Scarletina bacteria" - in the sinuses and throat, the lungs and urinary system.

She said that the Cocksackie A virus had also been in the sinuses and throat but that the MMS appeared to have cleared it from there quickly. This is the explanation for the sudden improvement I have experienced since with the excessive mucus and upper respiratory symptoms, and it seemed as though the Cocksacie A virus had been there for over 18 months making these symptoms impossible to live with.

Also, importantly, she found the Scarletina bacteria to be in the left mitral vlave in the heart, more than a coincidence I'd say in light of the MMS allergy affecting that same area, and she said it didn't appear that there was a problem with the heart itself, or that I even had a problem with the MMS (which I mixed up for her to test me for on the vega machine), but that the reaction seemed to be to do with the Scarletina bacteria in the heart valve.

She could prescribe me homeopathic remedies for the infections, which genuinely work and which are vibrational in nature, but I have always had a huge problem too with this homeopathic medicine before -due to such severe mucus production when I take it it is intolerable and have not been able to take it for years now without really suffering, despite it always working, per mile, so to speak.

So I am currently figuring out how best to proceed. I believe fully in the MMS but the severe sinus inflammation even 1 drop triggers is hard to handle. I am able to take up to 5 drops with only a little nausea and think I could build up quite easily as my body is quite healthy despite having a mixture of pathogens, but any more than 1 drop and my heart doesn't feel right and beats fast and heavy. I also have been having mild diahrria since starting the MMS last week, but that is not unusual for me anyway due to heavily disturbed gut flora and I am chronically constipated most of the time (I would take diahrria any day).

My homeopath also believes in MMS and she is happy for me to experiment with it for now but her initial thought was that it may be necessary to treat me with her medicine first to make headway with the infections so that I am able to take the MMS.

This is starting to make sense to me. In the past I could not endure the mucus from taking the homeopathic remedies and I would develop severe chest infections as a result while taking it and have to stop, as it exacerbated the mucus production so heavily.

Now that the MMS has improved the excessive mucus production and made it more manageable it may be more possible for me to take the homeopathy, and also if and when a chest infection did develop I could perhaps clear it quickly like I did last week with hourly doses (up to 3 drops only this time though), without eating until symptoms improved ( also so as to avoid antioxidants to maximise effectiveness of the hourly doses to clear the illness. It's easier than fasting a whole day, and you can better by late afternoon that way).

So that may be a better path as the homeopathy could clear the Scarletina infection from the mitral valve quickly without the heart symptoms and such severe sinus inflammation that the MMS is producing, making the MMS much better tolerated for me.

I am aware of the importance of separating MMS from antioxidants and have been taking care. This poses particular problems for me as I am completely dependent on many specific antioxidants, not "for the sake" of antioxidants, but to manage and control the excessive mucus production every time I eat food.

It is essential for me to take vitamin c powder immediately after eating all meals, followed by Oil of Oregano, aloe vera juice and I use spices liberally at every meal to control allergy and mucus symptoms, such as lots of cayenne with every meal, and a heaped spoon each day of cinnamon and turmeric, plus lots of raw garlic.

So far, the MMS is already proving very effective for me despite my intake of antioxidants. The morning dose is no problem obviously. Doses after meals, I am waiting 2-4 hours but they still seem to be effective. I believe that the cautions about waiting at least 4 hours either side are over the top really and impractical for most people, especially as MMS apparently is used up in under 2 hours, so waiting more than that after a dose would seem pointless. That has just been my initial experience and I am highly in tune with my body and symptoms. But I don't really know anything yet and keep my mind open.


If I stop the MMS for now I wonder if the CDS might affect me differently. i.e. not affect the heart and I have heard it helps with chest congestion, which would be a boon to help me to handle the homeopathic medicine to get the infections, particularly in the heart, under control, before going back to the MMS.

I would welcome any suggestions. So that is where I am at so far, I just wanted to share these details with you as it may help others. The diagnosis' I have had, both from the chiropractor and the homeopath, I assure you are 100% genuine and accurate (though the doctors of course have been programmed to declare, many actually believing bless them, that these therapies have been proven otherwise, just like MMS too of course in this corrupt world).

So these pieces of the puzzle as such, I am very lucky to have and wanted to share it with you all. I am still fitting them together feel free to join in.

Thanks for reading, Alex Kelly.

You are overdosing MMS = protocol 1000 is max 3 drops an hour, for 8 hours a day. You start with 1 drop an hour and if you have problems drop back to as low as 1/4 a drop or even 1/8 a drop. What is happening is that you're killing off pathogens faster than the body can get rid of them.

You're using an old protocol. You might want to go online to www.genesis2church.is and at the very least get the free download of the first 50 pages of Jim Humble's book.

I doubt you have an MMS allergy. I honestly can't imagine, knowing what I know of what it is and how it works, that you have an allergy - however, that said, you might have problems with the activator. Citric acid. That can be worked around.

Pam

Thank you Pam for your reply. Yes I am well aware of the protocols and I knew that 3 drops an hour is the maximum for protocol 1000, though I commonly read of people going up to 6 drops per hour.
I have the Jim Humble book. When I took 7 hourly doses last week I was in a slightly irrational frame of mind due to the chest infection I was suffering and a few lifestyle factors I always intended to start as advised but ended up doing the complete opposite to clear the illness. I also did not get any adverse affects at all until after the final dose on the 7th hour. That is why I kept increasing and stayed on 6 drops 3 doses in a row.
It was only on the final dose that I had any nausea. I know how it works killing off pathogens too fast etc but I guess for the first time in the frame of mind I was in I just wanted to reach the nausea level to be sure I was impacting the illness I had at the time. I haven't repeated that since and am staying below the nausea level, which occurs now at 3 drops.

I know the new protocol is hourly doses but this is not so suited to me. As I explained I am dependent on the use of antioxidants to manage the allergy and mucuc symptoms I have every time I eat food, such as vitamin c and oregano oil.
I simply can't eat a meal without afterwards managing the symptoms this way so I see the hourly dosing as problematic. Plus it takes me a whole hour to eat a meal, 3 times a day due to there mucus and allergy symptoms so it just seemed as though, while I work things out with how to fit the mms into my routine, it may be more simple for me to dose just twice a day until I can see some improvement and maybe be able to cut back on the antioxidants when the mucus production is under control.

Yes I'm not actually saying that I have an actual allergy to MMS and that is exactly what the homeopath found- no sign of an allergy. However I muscle tested AS allergic to it in the same way I muscle test as allergic to every day items which I AM allergic to and this reaction free my attention to the left heart valve, I then discovered when tested by the homeopath that there is the infection in the left mitral valve of the heart.

So that was just a confirmation that it is not an allergy despite appearing to be at first, but rather the symptom was directly related to the presence of the pathogen in the heart. I know some people have heart problems with MMS and I wanted to share this as I have had genuine and reliable feedback regarding this in relation to the Scarletina bacteria in the left mitral valve, but many others who experience similar heart problems don't have this opportunity of a valid diagnosis of pathogens in the heart and are left to guess and wonder.

I probably am sensitive to citric acid in some mild way , but I absolutely can not tolerate any amount of vinegar, lemon or lime. They all result in such severe mucus production it is more than I can put up with, prevents me from being able to speak due to the mucus accumulating in the vocal chords and causes choking.

So I don't feel as though I have much choice regarding activator. I have tried citric acid on its own and though I do get some sinus inflammation. As I do from practically everything I ingest, it is far less severe than the MMS.

I would gladly follow the new protocol of small hourly doses, but because it is harder for me than the average person to restrict antioxidants throughout the day, due to the excessive mucus and allergy symptoms every time I eat, and the dependence on vitamin c powder and oil of oregano, plus antioxidant rich spices like cayenne turmeric and cinnamon at meal times, I feel that several of the hourly doses would simply be neutralised, especially at only one drop or less.

So the old protocol just seemed easier for me without having to suffer without the needed antioxidants to manage the mucus symptoms or be neutralising doses. This is where I wondered if the CDS might help with the excessive mucus.

Maybe I can take hourly doses a number of times per day of 1 drop or less, without strictly adhering to the 8 hourly dose protocol, a sort of in between measure.

Also if I dose too low on MMS my bowels are too constipated and the elimination pathways don't work. There is not much I am ever able to do about this as I can't tolerate many things that would assist this, despite having tried so many things over time that improve every aspect of health but which severely exacerbate mucus production.

Also when I take more than 1 drop doses, my digestion is greatly improved as well but just one drop or less would have little affect on it. I am completely unable to tolerate any amount of bicarbonate of soda. MMS is one of the very few things I have ever tried that does NOT exacerbate the mucus production. It actually helps, but small doses are less affective.

Thank you for kindly your advice Pam I have a number of things to work out and will take on board everything you have said.

Just one other point. I am treating the Scarletina bacteria in the left mitral valve of the heart as a priority for now. And I fear that if I take too little MMS such as less than one drop per hour for say, 8 hours per day, not only would most if not all of many of the doses be neutralised by my essential antioxidant intake, but due to the fact there are so many pathogens in the very, the MMS would be very unlikely to reach the heart valve infection to do any good. Just a concern I have.

That said I can fully appreciate the reasons for going slowly so as not to overburden your body and to keep going forwards and not back. Thanks again, Alex (sorry I completely forgot to put my name before.)

Just a quick update. Today I took one drop this morning. My sinuses were already inflamed so I couldn't observe any affect there. No nausea or anything. My heart did again feel slightly elevated. But it wasn't uncomfortable or taxing, just somewhat noticeable.

But much better than after 3 drops yesterday morning after which I had noticeable nausea, slight dizziness and a spacey feeling. Classic die off symptoms, nausea was only very mild and short lived.

Throughout the morning and afternoon yesterday my heart beated fairly heavily, about 74 beats per minute (it is usually just under 60).
It eventually settled down.

At 12 pm today I took another 1 drop dose. This time my sinuses were more open and I noticed that I did not get any sinus inflammation from it this time. A really good sign and a sure indication that that symptom is related to die off.

I had feared it may be something I would always have to put up with when I take mms regardless of what general progress I make. I am used to this being the case with so many herbs and natural medicines no matter how long I take them for.

So that was encouraging. Even more so, when I laid down soon after the second 1 drop dose at 12 pm today, I noticed my heart felt better and my pulse was only 56 per minute, normal. Slightly heavier when active but not uncomfortable or bothersome.

I took another 1 drop dose at 4 pm. Again no nausea, Herat maybe slightly affected but ok and I did notice more sinus inflammation again. That will clearly vary as die off varies.

So I will stick at 1 drop doses for now, I won't a to do 8 hourly doses just yet, but maybe 4 or 5 each day a few hours aside of antioxidants in a flexible manner and increase drops gradually.

The initial heavier doses I took last Tuesday were deliberately heavy to ensure the nasty chest infection went and to get a feel for the mms. I only got sick after the 3rd 6 drop dose after 32 drops in total over 7 hours.

Yes you could call it an overdose but I really don't think it did me any harm, quite the opposite. It cleared the cocksackie a virus I mentioned above from the sinuses and throat, as confirmed by the homeopath and that has made a huge difference even though the Scarletina bacteria is still in that area and both infections are in the lungs and urine.

So I will tread cautiously now but have not done any harm by jumping in and it has been a learning process. Thanks for all your advice Pam I think I am on the right path now. Alex.

As you are deciding your own protocol (not Jim Humble's), I'll leave you alone. I'm glad you're feeling better.

Hi I am fairly new to this forum and haven't posted before. I can relate fairly well to what you are saying about allergies as I can't handle a lot of herbs or homeopathy. I have chronic lymphocytic leukemia and adrenal problems and have tried lots of things over the last 5 years. I go to a kinesiologist who approves of MMS but up until recently I have only been able to take 7 drops a day divided into 4 doses - 1, 2, 2, 2.
I also take a lot of other stuff including some antioxidants so I do the MMS 2 hrs away from them. But I have been able to increase the dose over the last couple of months and am now up to 27 drops, still divided into 4 doses. Now things like parasites and heavy metals are starting to show up with the kinesiology and also on the Mora machine. The MMS is getting it moving I would say. So don't give up hope, even if you can't yet do the whole protocol. Just do what you can and as your body gets stronger it will be able to handle more. I overdosed on zinc and detox footpads and that's when my adrenals collapsed. I had a couple of years where I couldn't handle much at all in the way of food or supplements but am gradually getting better with that. I think a lot of the allergies were adrenal related. But I still think more MMS is what will help in the long run, but ask the MMS moderators to just be patient with us sickies who can't do it all at once.

If you have a problem with activators, I understand that CDS contains none of the activator, only chlorine dioxide.

Hi cller thank you very much for your warm and sincere words of encouragement. From what you say I can see how you are able to relate to my experience of being especially sensitive to everything. You seem to have a similar way of looking at things and piecing things together open mindedly using all sources of information, such as the muscle testing and I'm guessing the Mora machine may be similar to the Vega machine my homeopath uses to diagnose things by way of electrical impulse /frequency.

Things have moved on a bit since I lasted posted, not much though. I realised after that time that every time I took MMS my sinuses were swelling up very badly.
But what I didn't realise somehow, maybe because I was attributing the experience to the sinus inflammation and elevated heavy heart rate, was that taking the MMS causes my lungs to become very congested with mucus, as well as inflammation in the lungs.

This is my mian and most troublesome symptom whenever I eat food, or take medicines (natural of course, or at least medicinal like MMS, but would never take any prescription meds for anything unless guaranteed to die otherwise, though I am a hippocrit because I do use asthma inhalers since 2005 but that's where I keep the line drawn.)

Almost every healing substance I have ever tried, despite working marvellously well for me and getting me in excellent shape all round,( looking and feeling great, all organs and systems in top order), causes excessive mucus production which affects the lungs so badly that I am always unable to continue with the therapy (for example, wild neem, bentonite clay, vulcan silver (high strength silver, which I don't actually recommend despite it being very supportive to overall health, because it does destroy the intestinal flora and isnt even as affective as MMS for treating acute infections at least), spirulina, homeopathy, practically everything that helps me causes this excessive amount of mucus, no matter how much better I feel overall from taking it.

When I first started the MMS I didn't think it was causing extra mucus. It actually helps the upper respiratory system and clears congestion. My head in particular has been much much clearer from congestion since starting it- I used to have to do steam inhalations with lots of peppermint essential oil to clear my head out and then it would only be temporary.

And initially I was so preoccupied with the severe sinus inflammation the MMS was causing that I presumed that was responsible for the fatigue and the difficulty drawing breath in.

But I realised shortly after my last post, as I increased dosages of MMS, that it does indeed cause heavy mucus production in my lungs, which is very thick and hard to clear. It accumulates the more I take and the longer I take the MMS, and it occurs at any dose- 1 drop 2 drops causes twice as much as 1 drop, but obviously is only half as affective at the same time.

As a result I have struggled to stick with it for very long periods, I have the will but it gets to the point where I am close to collapse from exhaustion, even on low doses. It just isn't viable unfortunately for me to take the MMS.

Interestingly though, although the sinus inflammation was very severe still when I took the MMS for a while, soon the MMS completely stopped causing me any sinus inflammation altogether. And it stopped raising my heart rate as well. So I don't know if that is due to the heart valve infection the homeopath diagnosed me with having been cleared or what (my chiropractor, using muscle testing to treat me for allergies, linked my apparent MMS "allergy" to the heart, so there was clearly a link at the time between the infection in there and the "allergy" symptom). Also, I no longer muscle test as allergic to the MMS now. I still experience sinus inflammation as before to all the same triggers.

So for those reasons I couldn't take the MMS for very long, just a week or 10 days at a time. I also like you couldn't tolerate great amounts. Last time I was taking it I was experiencing nausea on any more than 3 drops per dose, and it took a week at three 3 drop doses per day to be able to take a fourth 3 drop dose without nausea.

A good sign, means it's working, also importantly in relation to antioxidants. To manage my mucus symptoms which are always worst after food, I take vitamin c powder straight after meals, as well as oregano oil (high antioxidant). I eat lots of raw organic garlic with meals, lots of antioxidant spices like cayenne, cinnamon and turmeric and other antioxidants every day even while taking MMS.

I didn't make a special effort to cut back on these powerful antioxidants, even the ascorbic acid, as the mucus would be entirely unmanageable if I did. I did ensure though that I didn't eat or drink anything except water for at least an hour after taking MMS, and I tried to leave 2 hours after meals (and all the antioxidants I mentioned above).

There is a debate about how much antioxidants reduce the effectiveness of MMS and some say that ascorbic acid should be at least 4 hours away or it will neutralise the MMS.

For me to have been experiencing such clear die off affects on such low doses (9 drops per day, 3 at a time) despite maintaining high antioxidant intake surely demonstrates that the antioxidants, including the vitamin c, were barely reducing the effectiveness of the MMS and negating it very little. It was definitely die off symptoms I was having on increased doses I am certain, so I truly believe that the cautions about separating the antioxidants and MMS by many hours are over the top.

There is much more to MMS than what the science tells us I believe. I am very in tune with my body and how things affect me systemically. What I experience when I take MMS is similar to what I experience with other medicinal herbs and treatments that boost and support overall health- greatly improved digestion and elimination, organ and system function normalised and strengthened and excellent skin health- clean and I always look fantastically healthy, more so the longer I take the MMS and the more I am able to take.

I wasn't expecting all of these general improvements to health. However I am unable to take the MMS for long at all due to the ever decreasing lung congestion it causes me. Whether it's die off or not, I just can't live with it long enough to get past it.

I have seen mention on this site and many others, of people using the hydrogen peroxide inhalation technique to treat and overcome very similar excessive mucus and lung congestion. I am going to try that very soon, hoping that if it can work as well for me that I may be able to take the MMS. For now I just cant face it- I am only taking it now when I develop a chest infection.

For the last 5 years I have been suffering extremely severe chest infections 10 - 20 times per year and can be ill for 5 months on end no matter what I do.

Since I started MMS on July 23rd, I have only been ill for about 4 days in total- 3 chest infections (each with a virus) which I have cured each time with MMS in less than 24 hours.

The first time I took it I took 32 drops in 7 hourly doses to cure an acute illness that had lasted 3 weeks prior (2 drops, 3,4,5,6,6,6) -only got sick after the final 6 drop dose.

The next time I was ill I took 21 drops in 5 doses in one day, plus a morning dose the next day and that cured the acute chest infection and virus.

The next time, I took 14 drops one day (divided), and two 3 drop doses the following day and that cured the acute illness.

So even though I cant take the MMS all the time, it is there to cure illnesses whenever I need it without me even needing to worry about getting ill anymore, which used to be all the time and for as much as 300 days per year.


Recently somebody recommended iodine to me for the excess mucus. I started taking 15% Lugol's Iodine solution last week. That greatly helps my lung and mucus problems. It thins mucus and dilates the airways.

It is much easier to breathe and the mucus is so much easier to clear. The iodine also has a similar affect to MMS overall- much better digestion (it raises stomach acid), less bloating and gas, bowels moving much better. And the respiratory symptoms are much eased.

Iodine seems to have a lot in common with MMS as well- it is a very powerful anti pathogen and it detoxes the body of heavy metals and toxins like fluoride, chlorine and bromide.
I thought I had finally found something to help me with everything, especially the lung congestion and inflammation.

However, I soon realised that when I take the iodine my sinuses are swelling up very severely.

This happened with the MMS at first. Then it stopped happening and this symptom was proved to be a healing reaction (temporary). I am hoping the same can happen with the iodine as it is very debilitating on a day in day out basis, and at night. It may be that I am just allergic to the iodine, in which case my chiropractor may be able to treat me for it, but we will see.

I know you have said cller that you do a lot of other stuff as well and have tried so much, like me, and that you have a lot of allergy problems too. Do you know what is the status of your intestinal flora? (rhetorical)

I ask because all my problems began at once after antibiotic use in 2005. The allergies, sinus inflammation, lung congestion, asthma, excessive mucus especially, and also interestingly, all my structural and musculo-skeletal problems as well.

Recently scientists have been coming out speaking of new research linking disruptions in intestinal flora to almost any and every modern health problem.

My health demise was clearly directly related to the antibiotics knocking my already low intestinal flora down below (I only took 2 courses of amoxicillin at the time (2005) but that was enough to tip the balance, allow other harbouring infections like candida and mycoplasma to take over and multiply, and others to come in, and the development of allergies.)

Ironically though, I have since been unable to replenish my intestinal flora as every known means of doing so that I have tried causes intolerable reactions and side affects. Man made probiotic supplements don't work for me, just make things worse, and all the natural lacto fermented foods and drinks seriously exacerbate mu excessive mucus and respiratory symptoms.

So I'm kind of stuck where I am unable so far to repopulate my intestinal tract.

Most people don't have these same problems preventing them from strengthening their gut flora. Every body needs to do this however well they are as the modern chemical world is always bombarding our healthy microbes. I used to be able to eat, drink, take anything and work, was strong and fit, not really aware of any health problems.

But I know now that my intestinal flora has been very low my entire life, and I was never anywhere near optimal health.

If I had been in the know back then (2005) I would have refused the antibiotics, used more affective natural alternatives (or MMS) and then, when I didn't have the excessive mucus problems the antibiotics led to, repopulated my intestines to fortify my health before losing it. In the ideal world I would have known this for we would all be educated that way from birth and the doctors would make sure we understood.

Maybe you already have done all this cller, but in case you haven't fully addressed this issue affectively yet and are able to, unlike me, then it might help with your allergies. It seems that probiotic supplements are not as good as claimed.

If I could, I would start drinking kefir as that appears to be right up there as the best way to recolonise the guts as well as providing amino acids, enzymes and more.

The problem with it though of course is that it ferments in milk, which is only any good for us if it is raw.

Raw milk is still available maybe there is somewhere near you that you could get some. It is apparently much better tolerated even by those allergic to milk and has probiotics in naturally.

What I have discovered is that there are 2 different cow breeds- A1 and A2. A2 is the older breed (such as Jersey and Guernsey) and it is the A1 newer breed that is responsible for many of the problems associated with dairy, particularly the mucus problems, even when the dairy is raw as it should be.

So to me it seems that kefir fermented in raw A2 milk would be a truly great thing for us all and may be tolerated by most if not all. Just an idea in case this is something that you are able to get hold of. All farms can tell you what breed their milk is, but depending on how well you tolerate it (with regards to mucus) the A1 breed milk may be okay as long as raw.

This is another example of how such a good and necessary thing has been taken away from us and is now almost globally unavailable, the swines!

Anyway, that's my pounds' worth. I'm sorry to type so much I just have to put lay down all my calculations at times as well as reporting details of my experience in the hope it can be of use to somebody.

Thanks again for your response, wishing you the best, Alexis.
