mms & the thyroid gland

I am using MMS for Grave's Disease. I have been using it for over a year, without any negative side effects. My thyroid is much healthier now than it was. I am also doing the parasite protocol. I think parasites may be involved in more thyroid diseases than anyone guesses. Good luck and don't worry.

Virtually all thyroid disorders result from a nutritional deficiency of the minerals Iodine, Selenium, or both. Essentially everyone living in the U.S. is chronically deficient in both of these essential minerals, so it is surprising that there aren't even more people suffering from thyroid problems. Based on the latest scientific research, people need about 12mg of Iodine per day (same as the average Japanese) but get only about 1/100th that much from their diet. Same with Selenium - people need at least 200mcg per day, yet often get none at all from their food. Pharmaceutical drugs can not and are not intended to correct these nutritional deficiencies, but only mask the symptoms of the underlying problem.

Remember: The ideal and most profitable pharmaceutical drug is the kind which cures nothing, but the patient must take every day for the rest of their life. Thyroid drugs fall into this category, and suckers by the thousands line up to buy them - paid for by "health" insurance. Correct the underlying problem by taking Iodine and Selenium supplements, and the thyroid problems quickly and permanently disappear.

I am on mms since 12 months and my thyroid and medications and testing are the same as it was before.
But you can retest your thyroid if you want.

Do you know if there is any conflict with MMS and iodine? I've read information from Dr. Brownstein and others about the benefits of iodine and its role against breast cancer and other cancers. Does MMS remove iodine from the body? Do elevated dosages of iodine block the action of sodium chlorite/chlorine dioxide in any way?

I have been on the MMS for 40+ days and my thyroid is actually getting better.   My labs came in and my doctor called and said to stop the Thyroid due to it being to high in the labs.   So I believe and would love to hear from anyone else if MMS has fixed the thyroid for anyone besides myself.   I have a serious systemic candida infection apparently for decades and the MMS is killing it off.  We believe the candida was effecting my thyroid and now that the candida is dying off the thyroid is healing.   Anyone else with similar experience?

Hey there! I have some similar issues as you and so Im wondering how you are doing because I am just starting my MMS journey as of this Monday, so I am on day 5. My issue is that I have a very bad systemic candida overgrowth as well! and I am hyperthyroid.

was wondering if your thyroid issue is hypo or hyper like mine? seeing as how this entry is from a few moths ago, ANY UPDATES? ive been struggling very very severely with a myriad of health issues and it finally feels like I might be close to fixing Everything has been placed on your front porch as requested. Have a great soon if I can figure out how to do this MMS properly. My main issue is sleeping! my brain won't shut off properly due to the hyperthyroidism and the candida overgrowth is also contributing because is very bad. the overgrowth has been getting better because ive been working with a physician who's been helping me follow the cell biosciences protocol but its gotten too pricey and im poor, so ive decided to make the switch to MMS for the candida but still use the other supplements Im prescribed to fix the thyroid. I take the thyroid stuff around the dosing window as prescribed.

the guy who told me about MMS said that I should do protocol 1000 but I keep seeing ppl saying here in the forum that they are doing the mold & fungus protocol. do you mind sharing what you have been doing please!

I did the protocol 1000 and I'm now on maintenance dose of 6 drops at night (it will make you sleepy)   We have cut my extra T3 out completely and doing more labs next week to check levels again.  Stick with it, my UTI's have cleared as well.  We are still not done with healing, but I am much better.   I wish I could find out where they do the training, if they are still doing it.

When I take MMS every hour, it depletes my iodine levels a little. If I take it once or twice a day it doesn't have much impact on it. My friend also noticed their iodine levels were depleted when using MMS every hour as well.

If people are taking MMS to solve a thyroid issue, it doesn't make much sense because the thyroid is designed specifically to make use of iodine and selenium. MMS may deal with other issues that were contributing to the thyroid problems, but there is no substitute for iodine.

@ Cougarwia

You mentioned how the MMS was killing off the Candida that was damaging your thyroid, but iodine would do the same, as well as give the thyroid the specific mineral it needs to make thyroid hormone and function correctly. Your thyroid needs iodine. There is no getting around that.

I think people forget that MMS is quite a universal tool, but it still needs to be used correctly. It does not make sense ignoring specific tools for their purpose and using a universal one in it's place unless there is good reason for doing so.

What you say dhas merit.  My naturopath told me not to use iodine due to hashimoto's disease (which we have healed).   I do not know as much about iodine as I should, would love to know more, can you recommend anything?

I'm not surprised your naturopath said that, most of them don't understand iodine and even have a fear of it. Read this link for a slightly different opinion:

Although conventional medicine has not identified a root cause for Hashimoto’s, I have discovered through my research that Hashimoto’s (and Graves’s disease) are often caused by both iodine deficiency and gluten sensitivity (Brownstein, 2014).  Please keep in mind that nearly all conventional doctors and under the misinformed opinion that iodine supplementation causes autoimmune thyroid diseases.However, the research does not support this hypothesis. In fact, over the last 40 years, iodine levels have significantly fallen while autoimmune thyroid disorders have been rising in epidemic levels. This also correlates with a rise in iodine deficiency. 

Given that iodine is required for life, you'd think they would look a little deeper. If you want to know more about iodine I recommend the book 'Iodine Why You Need it by David Brownstein and 'The Iodine Crisis: What You Don't Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life by Lynne Farrow '
