Tea

Hi,

Is it ok to mix the MMS1 dosage with tea instead of water? I've been doing the 7 day fridge method and using peppermint with stevia in it to mask the taste.

KJ,

I posted a similar question, but no one has replied yet. Here is a copy of my previous post:


Could someone tell what herbal teas can we drink when taking MMS?

I know it is better not to drink any, according to Andreas and Kerri, but I like a cup of warm tea and really miss it.

The anti-oxidant herbs would be out of the question, I know, same for coffee, but there must be some that are ok.

thanks!

Just checked the anti-oxidant list. Peppermint comes in at #41 on the top 100. That's for fresh leaves though, not dried.

The "problem" is that no one has tested it with testing strips, that I know of. Jim Humble says that food antioxidents do not affect MMS (other than orange juice) - however, I don't know if that means "doesn't kill it completely, or doesn't change it at all"

Well everybody,

It can`t be interfering too much because when you mix MMS with regular tea still works

However it is worth mentioning I always mix the drops together first and add 1 ounce of distilled water after about 20 seconds when reaction is visible.

My son recently had flu for about two days so you tell me didn't it work?
He was taking a three drop dose, every hour for 10 hours

From a ppm standpoint it dilutes no more than normal liquid of the same volume

Tea contains polyphenols (aka catechins), which are a specific type of tannin. Green Tea contains more of these substances (30-42% of the extractable solids) than Black Tea or Oolong Tea. Oolong Tea has 8-20% catechin content, and Black Tea is about halfway between Green Tea and Oolong Tea in catechin content. Tea does not contain Tannic Acid


I would be more concerned with sugar you add to the tea . Sugar has been known to slow down electrolytic responses between nucleotides

Even this does not appear to be a major problem I will look into it further and post results

In less course someone already has?

Not that I know of, chad. I think people have been wary of tea because of it's antioxidant properties (green tea is the highest, of course) - but I don't know of anyone who has actually sat down with a chlorine dioxide testing strip and tested it after the dose has been made with distilled water and activated, and just adding the tea to cover the taste.

Hi all,

Let's see, what did Mary Poppins say? I think it was, "a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down". ?

Let's say that tea or sugar or both diminish the effects of mms by 10%. But by taking it with tea or sugar you can stomach an extra drop or two per hour and keep it up for weeks or even months. In my opinion it's a pretty good trade-off and well worth the lessened effect, if there actually is any lessening of the potency anyway.

Just my humble opinion.

Take care all.

Okay Everybody!
I just did a quickie experiment. Made up a 4 drop dose. Added 1 oz distilled water after waiting 20 sec.
Tested at about 75 PPM. Added 3 oz of cheap black unsweet ice tea. (Bought the tea bags at the local save a lot store). Tested at 10 ppm. Hope this helps anybody!
Cheers!

I would think you would do a control by doing your mix then add 3 oz of water then do the ppm.

Next do the same mix and then add 3 oz of tea and do the ppm

Sounds like your procedure dilutes the mix and the resulting drop in ppm could just be the dilution.

Don't green and black tea both have caffeine? It seems that would be just like taking coffee...
