Hi Roze and David,
Thanks for your encouraging comments!
Roze - as for your question about testing...
I check my CD4, VL, CBC and few other markers quite regularly, not to see if and when I need to start medication, but to measure my expected progress. I see all those numbers as good indicators of where I am and where I'm heading. Most people here on this forum seem to follow those numbers. The other bad thing about medication, is that it messes up those numbers so it's hard to measure the real progress. That's of course on top of the fact that they might kill us. While measuring progress, I think that self-observation guided by intuition and listening to one's physical feelings, as well as proper lab testing make a good combination when trying to measure any progress.
David - not meaning to judge anything yet.
As I wrote, those were some conclusions on my thoughts so far, and were meant to spark a conversation about the things I've paid attention to, so I could understand the reasons behind them. I understand where you come from, in the sense that you've probably treated tons of people with MMS. Therefore from your perspective, a 100% belief in MMS is something you take for granted. It's a good place to be.
However, I come from a different place. I've been testing treatments and philosophies, many which were found from websites and forums just like this - which one after the another proved to be inefficient despite many claims people made about them. It makes one skeptic. I want and will try MMS too, with great expectations. But is it wrong to have fears and doubts after many disappointments? We all know web is full of weird claims, and I'm still watching all this from an outsiders perspective. I'm new to this, remember.
Without knowing better, I could guess that one of the big obstacles between wider use and spreading of MMS among people is the way many are suspicious and fearful when they initially find out about the product. The better that can be fought, the more people will try MMS. I like the way Jim tackles his critics in the book.
I will keep posting here to inform about my progress. And probably will ask many annoying questions.
