Hi all,
As in the title - started the protocol for a number of aches, pains and ailments, built up from the Starting Procedure as per the HRP in Jim's book.
Now I'm 5 days in at 2 drops per hour 8 times a day, and my acid reflux has returned. I've had reflux on and off in the past, used proton pump inhibitor drugs like Nexium and it's passed. Any advice from anyone would be most welcome. Should I just pull back on dosage?

Sometimes I get some "acidic stomach", too, but more along the lines of "I need some Tums".
But I try to not take them when I'm dosing.

Seemingly more so from Acid-Activated Mixed SCS & HCl than CDS. (I use 24,000 ppm)

You could try drinking some extra water after the dose.

Sometimes I will eat a cracker, although, with Mixed MMS(1), you aren't supposed to eat,
so the acid in your stomach converts more SCS into ClO2.

I don't think it matters with CDS because it is fully ("pre-") activated.

I don't remember anything being mentioned in Jim Humble's "MMS Health Recovery Guidebook"
to address this problem.

I used to have an hietal hernia and got acid reflux and had to take Nexium like products
off and on for years. I think it went away for the most part when I reduced the stress in my life,
exercised more, and ate better.

Although I wouldn't think acid reflux would fall under the category of an Herheimer Reaction,
doing the Herx Protocol (cutting back 50%) might be a way to go. Maybe it will take longer
for your stomach / system to get used to the "MMS".

If the reflux happens 1/2 hour or so after your last dose, eating a cracker then
would probably be okay.

If it's happening in general and not just after your dose, then taking the Nexium might
be a way to go (like at night before bed, or anytime an hour or two before or after your
dosing period), and maybe it will lessen or go away eventually.

Eating lighter meals would probably help. And "eating better", which I always suggest
is a Vegan diet. See my website, link below, on the McVegan Dietary Lifestyle page.
You don't have to do it forever if you don't want to. Just treat it like a temporary
"taking medicine" situation and you can always revert later when you are better.

I'm not sure what to suggest other than that.
 

Many thanks BillPopMMS.... it is slowly easing off having persevered with the protocol.

That's good.

Another thing I forgot to mention was to use PURE Seltzer water instead of STEAM Distilled Water.
Or pour some Seltzer into your distilled water. That can not only help with the taste, but might help
with any acidity that might contribute to reflux.

Seltzer water also works with the Bentonite Clay Protocol to make it MUCH more palatable.

Thought I'd update this before creating a new post so as to provide help for anyone with a similar problem. The issue I was taking MMS for was a weird toothache / side of the head type headache issue that neither dentist nor doctor could help with - short story is it felt like the beginnings of an abscess or a root canal job (think twice before getting a root canal done - check out Jerry Tennant's work - "Healing is voltage" before you do). I tried rinsing with a few activated drops regularly but no joy, went to see the local dentist who prescribed both amoxycillin and metronidazole which did nothing. Found a better dentist who actually did the hot, cold and electric tests for dead roots in the affected area - nothing. Thought I'd give Protocol 1000 a try. At first there was a bit of reflux (many thanks to @BillPopMMS for his advice here) plus I kept "herxing" as I increased the dose, even if it was slowly. In the end I couldn't get beyond 1 drop per hour for 8 hours, but as Jim says in the HRP this may well end up being the case, you may get back on the protocol a year later and 3 drops an hour is no problem, or vice-versa - you could do 3 initially but can only do 1 drop a year on. And it worked a treat. Within the 21 days there was significant improvement, and it was gone within a month.


Hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.
