Lymphatic filariasis - elephantiasis

MMS any good for Lymphatic filariasis

Filariasis has two components a peripheral one and a lymphatic one.

Read the literature carefully and you'll realise that treatments only decrease the peripheral microfilariae... and do not address the lymphatics where the adult worms hide out ie. attenuate the problem rather than eliminate it.

It's one of the few diseases there is no proper cure for.

The microfilariae like to hang out in the subcutaneous fat layer... and the problem with most medications is they penetrate fat (and lymphatics) poorly.

The adult worms hang around for 7 to 10 years (maybe even a bit longer)... so if you wait long enough they'll eventually die off.

The recommended treatment is dosing yearly with a mix of ivermectin/albendazole, ivermectin/DEC (diethylcarbamazine), albendzole/DEC or even all 3.
It is in combination that they become more potent.

MMS has amazing penetrating ability and should help reduce the microfilariae load... but I'm not sure how effective it is for the lymphatics.

The trick is to know how much MMS to take, how often, for how long and how.

Using MMS with things like fruit juices... which contain VitC and other anti-oxidants which will neutralise your MMS... leading to a varying dosage/delivery.

Basically that means that if you stick to using citric acid (rather than lemon juice or something else) and just take it in plain water you should get more bang from your MMS... and that means you can take a smaller dose.

The thing about MMS is that it's an oxidant... and you don't want to take it for too long as it will run down your anti-oxidant defences NB. Take anti-oxidants to boost your protection... but not while taking the MMS or the two will neutralise each other. An on/off (12hrs on and 12 hrs off) protocol might work best?

BTW: Side effects of filariasis are joint pain and itchiness. MMS should ease that by oxidising the proteins that are responsible for this inflammatory response.

You posted this a while ago. How have you got on?

For those who have no idea what we're discussing:

Thanks for your comment .I've learnt what Elephantiasis Disease means.

Please know that MMS will not kill the full adult worms - just as it doesn't kill fleas on animals or bugs on plants - it works at the cellular level on pathogens - it WILL help with the die-off that occurs when the worms die -

If you think you might have something like this, a good doc to go see might be Dr. Simon Yu, who is quite good with parasites and works with the systemic meds (ivermectin, etc.)
