Years ago I bought MMS along with the activator and I took it a few times, but because I was reading some negative reports about its danger and because the taste was a turnoff I just let go of the notion that I should be taking it for Lyme Disease. Well, I have had Lyme since 1992 and in between really awful times with dizziness and headaches, and better times with only shooting pains or arthritic knee pain or some other strange symptom flare up I just let the disease take its course. Now I see that its course is progressing toward cancer. I think I know how Lyme promotes the anaeorobic environment that is conducive to the development of the disease. Lyme "victims" have clumped red blood cells that are unable to pick up the oxygen that single red cells can pick up. The blood can't deliver sufficient oxygen and the cells can't metabolize correctly. They become cancerous as a survival mechanism. I started MMS 1000 a few weeks ago, took a vacation and was unable to take MMS hourly. I was OK with the MMS even though the taste was awful. After I got home I got serious and started to take 4 drops hourly. By noon of the second day I was worn out. I really did not eat much on Day 1 because MMS took away my appetite. On Day 2 I tried to push through and have a sandwich for lunch. Mistake. I almost brought that sandwich back up. As the afternoon wore on I realized it was time to stop MMS, take a hot bath and get into bed. I had a headache all night and all afternoon today, which would have been day 3. Instead of taking MMS this morning I decided that I might do better to take a different tack and treat the Lyme with the Salt- C protocol first. Then go on and do the MMS cancer protocol. I am wondering if I could use the MMS, DMSO Protocol 3000-rubbing it on instead of ingesting it while on Salt-C. I've read Jim's book so I know that Vitamin C and MMS can't be taken together. But rubbing it on rather than swallowing MMS might be a completely different thing. Has anyone any experience with a situation like this?
