is mms affecting my adrenals?

Macaddict,
Excellent post that is most beneficial to any life style.
Extremely well put together.

Maccaddict, thank you so much for the excellent recommendations. I did clay for a while but ran out of it. The Diatomaceous Earth is not the same I guess, but I need to add the clay again. Thanks for reminding.

I agree with all recommendations except I personally cannot do the first one. With the prednisone making my stomach super acid, I usually have a cracker with almond butter a couple of hours before bed, otherwise the stomach will keep me awake. Before I got sick 4 years ago, I could eat at 3pm and go to bed at 10pm and fall asleep right away, not so after this horrible drug.

I drink quite a bit of water as soon as I wake up and never drank with meals all my life. Being Brazilian we never eat our salads first.

I was fortunate to have parents that were health conscious and taught me natural ways of healing.

But after moving to this agricultural area 9 years ago, I started with severe allergies from all the chemicals used in the farming around the valley, the air gets trapped here quite often.
Besides we are downwind from a coal power plant with emissions of mercury, lead, etc.. My body just couldn't take such an assault. Allergies, Asthma next, and then auto immune disease.

For 20 years prior to moving here, I always had green smoothies, took antioxidants, went gluten free, all raw for quite a while, juicing almost regularly, etc... anyone that watched me would say I should never have gotten this sick. Never took any drugs until 4 years ago.
I was so against drugs and a bit self-righteous for not needing any, paying for it now....

A couple of years ago I went to a doctor that gave me several Vit. C IV's, even H2O2 IV's, vitamin/minerals all intravenous. I tried just about everything I thought might help, nothing touched it until now.
I also bought an infra red sauna, an all body vibration equipment called Sonix, because with asthma I could not exercise.

I have a good support system, starting with my husband and most of all a strong faith in God. I know I am on the right track, and it is so good to be part of this forum. So much good advice from people that really care, such as yourself.

I encourage everyone to keep taking these products, eat good organic food as you said, and forget about supplements. Be patient and have faith.

Your very welcome !!

Am glad you are ON IT regarding the particulars of your condition.

And yes, the Diatomaceous Earth is VERY different than the Calcium Bentonite Clay (CBC). The CBC has a Ph of 9.7 a very high alkalinity, and is great for getting rid of an acid condition. People say other clays are ok to use, but I disagree... I feel it HAS to be the CBC, cause of its purity, it's high Ph level, and it's magnetic charge that it possesses. It will draw out gunk from your system that other clays won't.

Hope yours is a good source.

G;ad you got a good support system ... its a LOT easier that way!!

the clay I got was called European green clay. I don't know if it is good but a health clinic I know recommends it.
Which one do you prefer?
Thanks!

I take it you are healed of the ulcerative colitis. I am so glad for you, that you don't need to take prednisone anymore. I will get there someday!

Thanks Evanir,

The clay mmmay be the same thing/kind, I'm not sure.

Maybe find out its real name ?......... Calcium bentonite Clay is the beter stuff for internal use (careful, cause there is sodium bentonite too)

I buy mine from here... (Janet) very good prices, and a reputable product:

As for the colitis... yes, it's all gone, and am normal again ... with very healthy adrenals.

Hi Evanir,sorry for the delay in replying,have a bit of stress lately.

This is Vals website who owns the adrenal forum.

Yes,pred is much stronger than hc,but I really dont know much about it,I just take whats been advised for me on the adrenal forum,they have been very helpful for myself and my family.

I have mentioned mms to Val,but she doesnt agree with it and I'm not allowed to talk about it on the main forum,but it may be because Val just doesnt know or understand what it is,she just thinks its just chlorine or something,which is very bad stuff!

I would say that your easy bruising is caused by HIGH cortisol levels mostly caused by the pred and you will be advised to get some bloods done too for specific things like vitamins and minerals,especially a full iron panel.You would normally be advised to have an adrenal saliva test to see what your cortisol levles are,but that wont be possible when taking pred.

You say that you dont think people should take vitamins etc,but if you are defficient in something it is absolutely essential to supplement with it as it can make you very ill to be defficient in something and can affect your organs in so many ways. Just the same as being too low in thyroid hormones,as well as any other hormones,its very important to be optimal. Being low in thyroid hormones is terrible,especially as you need thyroid hormones in EVERY cell in your body,not enough means that your organs will not funtion properly.

I hope the adrenal forum will be helpful for you,as it is for so many of us and I hope to see you there! Good luck!

best wishes sharon

thank you Sharon,

I was once in that foruma and remember Val's story now that you mentioned it. It is too bad she is not open
to MMS, because it seemed that she was always struggling with health issues, in spite of knowing so much.

I do take thyroid hormones and T3, my naturopath believes I could go on T3 alone eventually. The good
news is that I am on 8mg of prednisone, which in Hydrocortisone would be the equivalent of about 40mg.
His goal for me is to go down to 5mg but super slowly and only if I can still breathe well. The MMS2 is doing
the trick for the lungs and I am breathing so well, I can hardly believe it. So pleased

I am trying to follow Kerri and Andreas Kalcker advice about vitamins that they say feed parasites.
About 5 years ago I had food poisoning from contaminated water and must have some bad pathogens.
In a month or so I want to do the parasite protocol.

About vitamins and minerals, according to Jim Humble's advice, we should keep taking calcium and magnesium, so I do
and also vitamin D3. He does say to take vitamin C 2 hours after the last dose of MMS.

My naturopath did a thorough blood test vitamins and minerals included and everything showed very good, he knows I am taking MMS and
really likes it. I don't dare tell the other doctors though.
Thank you for the links and all the good advice!

Well, I have a different take on this.

Firstly, did you doctor ask you if you were getting at least 5 hrs sleep each night ?[ waking up to go potty resets the clock ]

Dr Marshall says all the time men and women need at least 5hrs for the adrenals to function properly....not to mention taking cod liver oil to keep them lubed.

So, according to him, if you are not getting the sleep your adrenals can get stressed out.

As a male, I had an easier time to cope with the 3am pee time, I got a chamber pot and never got up....the head should not raise above horizontal or the clock resets for the glands.

I found that method helped me, but like lots of other folks, I still had other issues and vitamin mineral shortages yet undiagnosed.

Just putting it out there for your consideration.

best wishes
