Rheumatism is a form of arthritis - and Jim Humble writes about arthritis in his book.
Start with Protocol 1000 (Ch. 13, p. 62) if the person you plan to treat
has a simple disease such as a cold or the flu, or even HIV/AIDS, or
if there are undiagnosed pains, rheumatoid arthritis, problems with
walking, or other physical problems.
Start with a quarter, a half, or one drop for the first hour, depending
on how sick the person is. The sicker he is, the less MMS he should
have. If the first dose does not cause a reaction, go to the next larger
dose on the second or third hour. If that invokes no reaction, continue
increasing until you have reached 3 drops on the fourth of fifth hour.
Never go over 3 drops an hour on Protocol 1000. Never go to the
next Protocol if the person is improving.
If no improvement on Protocol 1000 after two weeks, then go to
Protocol 2000.

Arthritis
There are some things you should know about arthritis if you have
this problem. First, it doesn’t matter how bad it is, your body will
heal it, but you have to follow the correct procedure. To do that, you
need to know what kind of arthritis you have, as MMS will help with
rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme arthritis, and most others, but although it
may help with osteoarthritis, it may not completely overcome it.
Osteoarthritis is caused by muscles in an area pulling in the wrong
direction. The wrong muscles try to take over to move the body in that
area. When all of these muscles begin to pull against one another,
they create pain and tension in the area and begin to destroy the
joint.
However, you can get it to work again. The book, Pain Free, by Pete
Egoscue explains how to get muscles working in a balanced way.

Healing Diseases
The body then heals the joint, no matter how badly the bones are
currently scraping against one another. It just requires some unusual
exercises and stretches to get the correct muscles to function
properly again. In most cases, even in severe cases, the pain is
gone in a week.
So buy the book online or at any large book store. The paperback was
$15 the last time I looked. Or in Germany the Feldenkrais Method
works quite well. Most other forms of arthritis can be handled with
MMS. Just use Protocol 1000.
Once you have done Protocol 1000, then I'd do the maintenance protocol, which at his age should be 6 drops 1x a week.
