TOPIC:

Can you take MMS safely if still taking prescribed drugs e.g.mehotrexate 20 mg weekly and prednisone 2.5 mg daily for the condition of Giant Cell Arteritis.

From Jim Humble's latest book on pages 122-123:

4. Pharmaceuticals: Up until this point in time, we have not noticed any reactions with MMS and medical drugs, although we cannot guarantee this will always be the case. The decision to take or not to take pharmaceutical drugs is a personal one. Medications affect each person’s body in different ways. We cannot say across the board in every case that taking prescription drugs will inhibit health recovery with MMS. However, we have seen a trend that continuing to take pharmaceuticals while doing the MMS protocols will often slow health recovery, or prevent it all together. If one has made a decision to not take pharmaceuticals, occasionally they may need to continue with a pharmaceutical drug (while on the MMS protocol) for several days or a week or more (depending upon the situation and the kind and amount of medications you must wean off of). This is to prevent bad reactions from occurring in the first several days due to “drug shock” when the medications are first stopped. Usually it is best to wind down slowly by reducing the drug in steps. The right qualified alternative health professional can help you safely wean yourself off of the medications.

Thank you for quick reply.
Another question: Do you know if anyone has used MMS for the above condition (Giant Cell Arteritis) ?

I do not and searching this forum I did not find any posts related to GCA. However, I did find this at Wikipedia:

Associated conditions[edit]

The varicella-zoster virus antigen was found in 74% of temporal artery biopsies that were GCA-positive, suggesting that the VZV infection may trigger the inflammatory cascade.[14]

The disorder may coexist (in a half of cases)[11] with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), which is characterized by sudden onset of pain and stiffness in muscles (pelvis, shoulder) of the body and is seen in the elderly. GCA and PMR are so closely linked that they are often considered to be different manifestations of the same disease process. Other diseases associated with temporal arteritis are systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and severe infections.

If an infection is causing GCA, then MMS should help. Let us know the progress with the person who has GCA. Thanks!

Much appreciated. I am the person diagnosed Nov.2016 with GCA in all my major arterities and at same time breast cancer, PT scan confirmation. Symptoms were PMR and unable to get BPR in one arm. Another PT scan will be done in next couple of months. Unfortunately the medical professional only have one recommendation initially (prednisone followed by methotrexate etc.) which is quite daunting.
Thanks again.
