EMERGENCY accidental ingestion of unactivated MMS1 -- what to do?
On the evening of Aug. 5, 2012, I accidentally drank 1.5 teaspoons (7.5ml) of MMS1. I knew immediately what I had done and that it was bad. I remember hearing about a case where someone drank a glass of MMS1 thinking it was water because it was not clearly labeled. They ended up in the hospital and Jim had said the thing to do in that situation was to drink plenty of water.
So I started drinking water and drank probably 1.5 quarts of distilled. I was not feeling well at all and tried to induce vomiting with my finger down my throat but I was not even coming close doing that. I thought I should call 911 and ask for poison control.
I called and the lady got poison control on the line and they tried to discourage me from inducing vomiting but said that it could happen anyway. I said, I want to vomit, how do I get this stuff out? Poison control discouraged that.
While we were on the phone, I started retching and vomiting most of the water had drank. While I was doing that on the phone, the 911 lady decided they should send paramedics. I felt a lot better after vomiting and said they did not need to come, but they were just arriving. So the parameds checked everything and said I was alert and vitals were good and blood pressure was text book or a little low.
The parameds tried to get me to go to the doctor, I said I did not want to go. They consulted with another doctor who said I did not have to go, so they packed up and left after I signed the waiver.
As they were leaving I began feeling queasy again, and then vomited again shortly after they left. I felt better after vomiting and then would get queasy again in 30-45 minutes and vomit again. Did this 6-7 times altogether, retching up anything that was deep in my stomach. Then had some diarrhea.
I did not smell any activated MMS when I was retching and I think I have a low stomach acid problem. So I don't think I was getting any activation. In one of the vomiting episodes, about the 3-4th one, I tasted the salty MMS and there was no activation that I could discern.
This all started at 1 am and by about 6 am I was feeling better and the vomiting had stopped. I was queasy for the next day and did not take any MMS because I thought it might cause vomiting. The day after that I was feeling about normal and started slowly back on the baby bottle method I have been using at 8 drops instead of the 14 I had worked up to.
I am posting below the advice I received from Jim and the emails I sent in reply:
Jim: Drinking a lot of water and vomiting is about all you can do except take couple of vitamin C tablets and also you can take baking soda, about 1/2 teaspoon at a time for two or three times. It is best to powder the vitamin C tablets.
Michael: I think I am going to be all right, I drank about 1.5 qts of water and then vomited it all up I believe. I called poison control and the parameds and my vitals are all showing good. They just left. I vomited again after they left and I'm feeling okay. Poison control didn't think it was a big deal and said I might have vomiting. I think 1.5 teaspoons would be a big deal if it had not come out. I was trying to induce vomiting but couldn't do it until my body was ready to vomit.
Michael (hours later): Thank you for the advice. I ended up vomiting about every half hour another 6 times, then after that I had diarrhea also. Wasn't feeling too good through the night, always queasy and on the edge of vomiting, but this morning I am feeling recovered. I drank some water and some sea water and they are staying down fine. I think I have very low stomach acid and could not discern any activated MMS in the vomit.
That's the excitement I had a few nights ago! Be careful what you drink!
Michael
