TOPIC:

This morning my aunt after taking 1drop of mms1 every 4 hour yesterday ,( just to start getting it in her system) awoke with blue finger nails! Do you know what this is? should I stop giving it to her. She had previously be treated for osteoporosis by her doctor and was given meds, however this calcified her thyroid and some lymph nodes in her neck and had to be removed. It also caused cancer. I am activating the mms1 with HCL this is what was sent to me by the mms store although the order was for citric acid, dont know if this has anything to do with it. can someone give me a head up on this situation. kind of worried.

Here's the information on Blue Fingernails - I can't imagine how MMS could have caused this. Does she have Reynauds?

Blue fingernails can be a sign of various disorders and should be checked out. Very cold temperatures can temporarily slow the flow of blood through the skin leading to the bluish color, but this typically goes away when you warm up. In Raynaud's disease the fingers and toes blanch, then turn blue and may become numb or painful on exposure to cold. Here, the problem is simply oversensitivity of nerves controlling blood flow through small arteries in peripheral areas of the body (fingers, toes, nose and earlobes).

Blue fingernails - the medical term is cyanosis - can also be due to low hemoglobin, the carrier of oxygen in red blood cells. Normally, arterial blood is bright red, thanks to the oxygen it contains. Your skin color, including the skin under your nails, is a combination of your skin pigmentation plus the color of your blood. When oxygen levels decline, blood turns blue-red. Chronic cyanosis can be a sign of many different lung and breathing problems, including asthma, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis and other respiratory disorders. It also can be a sign of a number of heart problems, as well as a response to high altitude and overdoses of certain drugs (narcotics, benzodiazepines, and some sedatives).

If your nails remain blue, I suggest having a medical checkup to identify the underlying cause. Your physician will probably want to do some tests to check your heart, lungs and hemoglobin.

thanx Pam. I will find out if she has Reynauds, how long should I give her to see if the blue goes away. my first worry was that she wasnt getting enough oxygen and I wonder if I should stop. Her son said she had been on zanax but he made her stop two days before she had mms1

My first thought was an oxygen deficiency, also. But when I got into researching it I realized that a LOT of people have reynauds (I have it in one toe) -

I hope he didn't abruptly stop the xanax - guessing that has to be titrated off - if he stopped it without titrating, I don't know what the effects of that are.

hello everyone: just to report that the bluing of the finger nails of my aunt is beginning to go away it's just very faint know 3 days into beginning mms1 for throat cancer brought on by pharma med for osteoporosis prevention. also thanx Pam for your support when I was in need of some Knowledge.
