TOPIC:

Not too long ago, someone asked to clarify what the difference was between MMS and MMS1.

This has always been a bit confusing because the names have been used interchangeably. I went to JH's book and found the first clear use of the terms (to me) and stated that according to the book
MMS1 was inactivated MMS and
MMS was activated MMS1
(I believe I included the quote I took the information from, but I can't find that post, and I would be commenting in that thread, sorry)

Then just a few days ago Michelle, who did the recent training in Bulgaria (congrats on your Minister of Health, Michelle) said that there had been some changes - that MMS now stood for Master Mineral Solution (which is the title of Jim's current book, BTW, and totally understandable) but she also said that
MMS1 was ACTIVATED MMS
and MMS was the INACTIVATED 28% sodium chlorite solution

Because I had posted the opposite on the forum (and because I wanted to be sure that there was no misunderstanding before posting) I emailed JH to ask for clarification.

Archbishop Humble has been traveling - so there was a small delay in getting back to me - and during that delay a forum member asked about MMS3 - which is in the book, but not actually in use at this time - in the book pretty much as a placeholder. Well, in the MMS3 area, Jim was very clear that MMS1 was the Activated MMS and MMS was the inactivated 28% sodium chlorite solution.

I think the confusion arose between the front and the back of the book because it took a couple of years to write the book, and things can change in the process. Also, we tend to be a little "sloppy" in our conversation - using MMS for both MMS and MMS1.

SO, after a couple of emails (bless JH's patience with me) I can definitely confirm Michelle's statement in her latest video -

MMS1 is the activated 28% solution (activated with citric acid, hcl, or lemon, lime or vinegar)
MMS is the base (unactivated 28% solution)
MMS2 is - obviously calcium hypochlorite
MMS3 is a combination of MMS1 and MMS2 (still not in use - I think that CDS came out after this and probably took more focus)

Sorry to have confused anyone, if I did. Mea Culpa.

I just had an email from Jim Humble. He's made a change on thinking about it, and I think will be sending out a newsletter to this effect. I will quote from my email:

MMS has always been a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite. When I wanted to represent it as activated I always said activated MMS. I always said 2 drops or 10 drops of activated MMS. Or if I wanted to refer to inactivated MMS I always said unactivated MMS or not activated MMS. I added the "1" simply to differentiate it from MMS2 when talking about MMS 2. I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE.

MMS and MMS1 mean the same thing. That is unactivated sodium chlorite. I do not want to make it more complex than that. So in any newsletter I put out it will say just that. MMS and MMS1 refer to the same thing. They both mean unactivated MMS.


So, now we will all be on the same page -
MMS and MMS1 will be the same thing - INACTIVATED sodium chlorite
We will use the word "Activated" to indicate MMS that both sodium chlorite and an activator like citric acid or HCl or lemon juice/lime juice or vinegar

Many of us already use this terminology, we're going to be OK. For any newbies, I realize there may be some confusion. I think that use of the word Activated or Unactivated will make things clearer, and you can use MMS or MMS1, which refer to the same thing -

This even confused me at times. MMS / MMS1. But if I read:
Activated MMS
or
Unactivated MMS
it is very clearly understood.

I agree - Woofy - and since we have people who are at various stages in their reading of the books and protocols, this is the least confusing.
