TOPIC:

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to MMS. Yesterday my son stepped on a rusty nail. He soaked it in 30 drops MMS (about 1 cup water) for about 1/2 hour. Now today it's really hurting so we've twice more soaked it in 30 drops (and taking 1.5 ml CDS orally each hour, an increase from yesterday's 1ml).

What more can we do? I'm concerned about Tetnus. The infection has spread to his ankle.

Thanks for some advice.

In Jim's newsletter, he spoke of Janet getting stung by a stingray. Ultimately they took her into the hospital, because of an odd allergy she had. Jim himself has been known to go to the hospital when it was necessary.

The infection is not abating as you would like. I would take the child into the doctor's or to the outpatient clinic, or even a walk-in clinic. And I would do it now.

Does that mean stopping dosing? No. I'd continue to dose - but lockjaw is a very serious issue.

Well the chances of getting tetnus is about one in 10 million so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

If it were my child I would not take him to a medical doctor but to a nautropath. I would also give him homeoapthic Ledum 30c 3xday or 200c daily.

I would apply DMSO to the wound and anywhere that the skin is red.. just a few drops rubbed on then apply mms directly on top of that. DMSO will help to carry the mms into the tissues and blood. Don't do a soak with mms. Apply full strength directly. Get it in the pucnture hole also if it is still possilbe. After three minutes rinse the mms off by fully immersing the foot in water. Do this at least twice a day.

My best advice is to avoid the use of antibiotic drugs at all costs. They really screw up the body. One course of antibiotics can change your whole life and for the worse.

Other options are ozone therapy, ultravioltet blood therapy if the infection is looking serious. A good naturopath should be able to supply one or the other or both.

Thanks for the replies. My son had a great recovery after I posted, played all day with no discomfort, then ended the day with pain again. Now, I'm thinking it could be connected with the effect of all the MMS soaks (for the puncture) on the same foot which has a problem with athletes foot. He can't tell for sure if any of the pain's coming from the puncture, but clearly his fungal rash is worse (and I don't see any more streaks of infection from his wound). I'm thinking that perhaps I should now try a bentonite clay treatment since that should help kill off any problematic fungus and also draw out any possible infection.

Thanks again.

Feet are very sensitive and have lots of nerve endings. If he played all day it could be hurting simply from that. Healing takes some time.

Many cures of fungal infection have occured with soaking the feet in one's urine.

But why is the MMS making this fungus worse? Could it be a healing reaction on its way to cure?

My understanding of why MMS makes the fungus worse comes from Jim's book where he explains that, in some cases, the MMS destroys bacteria/fungus that has been competing with a more unusual fungus which MMS can't destroy (but Bentonite Clay can). Once the fungal competition has been destroyed, the other is left to wreck havoc unchallenged.

In my son's case, his symptoms fit the description (especially the weepy blisters which release yellowish fluid when scratched or broken open -- and dramatically increasing the discomfort). So now, it's clear the puncture is a non-issue. The first 3 days of the clay-Vaseline poultice provided tremendous improvement, but at the end of day 3 a whole new eruption of blisters has erupted next to the old ones (which are still open & healing). He's in itchy-pain all over again. Is this normal? Could it simply be fungus that had been under deeper layers of skin that's now coming to the surface for release?

By the way, after 2 days treatment he washed off to reapply and discovered his foot was peeling off a layer to reveal fresh white skin. Cool. He's also ingesting 1tsp of the clay (sold for internal use) in water morning and night.

I was hoping we'd be done by day 3 (what I'd read), but it looks like it'll be longer. Does anyone have experience with this? Should we also do an MMS soak with the 3 times daily bandage changes to address the soreness of the red, open blisters?

Thanks,
Petunia

I dont know the answer to your question but in my experience in dealing with may types of infections over the years always treat for some time after the infection "appears" to be gone. Sometimes things look good but the disease is still there unseen. Better safe than sorry.

Skin stuff is very strange and I think that there are many causes that are typically unrecognized. It may not be fungus at all but something else. I have always relied on Homeoapthy to most effectively deal with skin stuff and I have had excellent results over the years with both myself and my kids, but it has requried a visit to a classical homeopath.

My repeated issue with mms is ... although mms can remove the outer signs of the disease, like infection, does it remove the predisposing factor? the actual cause of disease which is in the energetic field? ... i think that in removing the outer signs of the disese the body may be able to heal the energetic factor on its own in some cases, but not in all... hence the predisposition to get sick may remain. Homeopathy deals with the predisposition to have illness. MMS may or may not and it is likely highly variable between individuals. I have not been convinced as of yet, in over 4 years of observation but this takes the discussion of healing to a whole other level and perhaps not best for this forum

Arrow,

I'm glad to hear homeopathy works so well for you. I've not had successful experiences with it and I've been to a number of different practitioners over the years. Perhaps there's as much variation in their methods and successes as there are with chiropractors. I no longer even try homeopathy, and generally turn to other energy work first, and diet/herbs/supplements as a support.

In this case, my son's predisposing factor(s) are clearly rooted in long-term toxicities and nutritional deficiencies combined with chronic stress in an education system that hasn't supported his abilities & needs. We've successfully addressed the stress by homeschooling him and we have made steady and substantial improvement on his physical health.

For an update, my research at aboutclay.com revealed that vaseline is not recommended to combine with the clay. So today we applied the clay without it (hydrated the clay in water to make a light slurry) throughout the day, and my son took a 20 min bath in 1 cup of clay to encourage any toxins that were wanting to come out via the foot to find their way out his skin anywhere else on his body. I can report much improvement! While the blistery bumps are still there, they are not nearly so itchy and painful and appear to be well on the road to recovery.

Thanks everyone for the feedback & support. In regards to the rusty nail puncture, I can report that the MMS soaks quickly worked wonders. I only warn others that such intensive soaks could trigger the spread of this apparently unusual fungus.
