I'm new too!

Hi all, my name is Susan and I just started MMS a week ago.  Trying to build up to 3 drops.  Dealing with EBV and probably Lyme as well as other critters, AI.  Really need support from all those working with this!  I am having some challenges around food intake.  I already don't weigh a lot and find I need to eat on the 1/2 hour, snacks such as fruits, veggies.  Anyone else notice this?  It's a lot to keep up with with work and all and I am noticing some die off symptoms (not terribly bad, typical) that leads me to think that dehydration could be another issue at play here.  I was, before taking MMS, drinking 1/2 gallon of lemon water daily which really helped hydrate me.  Anyone else having these types of challenges and what are you doing about them?  So impt to remain hydrated while detoxing!!!  And I just can't go that long without food because my blood sugar tanks!  TIA, Susan

Hi Susan. I assume you have Jim Humble's latest book,  MMS Health Recovery Guidebook, and began taking MMS1 by following the Starting Procedure. Protocol 1000 would be the next protocol which limits hourly doses to 3 activated MMS drops using 4% HCL activator. Note that 3 drop hourly MMS1 doses is a limit and not a goal. You may be able to get to 3 drops hourly, but if you experience Herxheimer effects, then you may not be able to take 3 drop doses. Some people have restored their health from stage 4 cancers using as little as 1/2 drop MMS1 doses. 

You can eat on the half-hour, small snacks as you mentioned. One hour after your last dose of the day you can eat anything and as much as you like. Also at that time you can take supplements and antioxidants which may reduce effectiveness of MMS.  

Lemon water would not be good when taking MMS as it will reduce chlorine dioxide (CLO2). Unless you have diarrhea, staying hydrated when taking MMS1 should not be a problem. You can drink water between doses if needed.  

Thank you so much!  Yes, I tried to get up to 2 drops and couldn't yet but that info is great to know.... my book is dog eared LOL.... I only drink the lemon water 2 hours before taking and then 2 hours after so no problem there.. just trying to help my liver a bit.  I will just keep snacking then!  So glad I found this forum! 

Hi there,  a couple other questions.  Having dogeared the book just wondering:  I know the 3 golden rules.  Seems after 2 weeks, still herxing some, not bad,  but tired mostly, some bloating, pretty typical.  I tried to increase to 1 3/4 drops but didn't feel great so decreased again.  Think I'll just stay on one drop for awhile.  I get that the rules say if you aren't feeling great (worse than illness makes you), to decrease (which is true).  1. But isn't it normal to have die off symptoms with this anyway?  So curious about that.  2. Also, I was exposed to mold but was on a cholesterol binder for over a year per my ND and don't feel that's a problem, more that candida could be.  I decided to go back on my own mold protocol with coconut charcoal and GI Detox which are actually better than the bentonite.   So,  with all that, does it make sense, if I'm just staying with one drop for awhile and hopefully, can just heal using that to incorporate baths and enemas?  I know for sure that I have gut dysbiosis.    It seems that baths, enemas and prob douches (I have HPV too and breast cysts/fibroademas), would be another way and maybe easier to get MMS into my system without so much herxing.  (I could stand the herx if I didin't have to work)!  thanks and sorry for long message, I really appreciate that you all are here for support.  Susan

Drinking lots of lemon water, or even water without lemon, can do wonders. But you will lose (wash out) minerals rapidly, especially when adding lemon (acid) to the water. You have to replenish these minerals in order to maintain natural immune function.

Lots of minerals are not only essential but also very effective at detoxifying. Zinc, Copper, Potassium, Sodium, Iodine etc.  Hydration and salts ( minerals/trace minerals) must go hand in hand.  If not MMS will mostly only cover over symptoms caused by malnutrition.

In general one could do with a lot less MMS, and which has no nutritional value whatsoever, if mineral intake is adequate. I myself use MMS for periodic detox and emergencies. Iodine alone can do many of the things that MMS does. MMS should not be used to substitute iodine.

Well this basically is about sharing what I've come to understand myself since I first started on the MMS long ago. Good luck to you Susan!

Thank you for your insight!  I do appreciate it!  I'm not really planning to stay on MMS long term-- I'm working on getting rid of epstein barr and a couple of other things.

I've been up-ing my dose to 7 and the taste gags you but I don't care as long as it's working.

Jeffy, is the increase helping with gut symptoms?  I can only handle 2 1/2 drops.... think I'll stay there for another 3 wks than go onto the Protocol 1000+..... have a long way to go I think.  Taking those drops every hr for 8 hrs.... figure 5 or so more weeks then maintanence, unsure yet

At first, I had bowel problems, but after a week, that went away.   You have to mix it with anything as long as it doesn't have vitamin C in the juice.  Stay calm, your body will adjust naturally.  A lot of pathogens are locked up in your liver and colon, that's why you are cleaning it all out. 
I even made a spray bottle to spray it on my face and arms.  I have severe SCC in my arms from my watermen days working on the water when I was in my teen years. 
Another herbal Med to take is Bloodroot Capsules....for about 22 dollars.  Bloodroot will kill off many pathogens drifting through your blood.   I feel nausea taking a capsule at bed time, but I know it's worth it in the long run. 
I gave up on Derms because the wait time (up to 44days) was ridiculous.  I cured all of my SCC under my skin of my arms with Black Salve.  It takes two weeks but I love knowing I didn't have to have surgery and get deformed. 

Don't be afraid of the protocols, just keep going slowly and eat good foods.....no sugar and plenty of vegetables.
I use Stevia for my sugar in my coffee and cereals.  Hold up on Milk, it's a cancer feeder too.  Use Almond Milk if you can get it.  Frame your mind you are going to heal, and I promise you, .....you will heal !   Just don't give up. 

Another way is to mix up for a 16oz Bottle of Water and put it in the fridge, that makes it easier too.
