Hello,
I am quite new to all of this but have been reading a lot on TUA and Kory's Substack, along with many other sources. I have my two bottle set with HCL and am all ready to begin Protocol 1000 sometime later this week. Here are the things I'm not sure about:
1. Taste. I have read many places about the taste of MMS being a big detractor. I have been experimenting and getting used to this over the past week or so. I've taken several 3 drop doses and was surprised at how mild the taste was. I was expecting it to be quite strong. I figure either what I purchased is in some way not fresh enough or all those reports of a really bad taste come from times when higher doses were more routine. Any thoughts? Should I return the bottles I have? I do get a color change and a definite chemical smell when the two combine.
2. Water - volume. I've been trying to drink a lot of water in the past few months. Do I need to try to limit the amount of water I consume while on the protocol?
3. Water - type. Most sources I've read simply speak of mixing 4 oz of water into the solution. One place emphasized using distilled water. Is this important? I have an RO machine and that is the water I typically drink.
4. Probiotics - I know it's good to stay way from anti-oxidants and basically all supplements during the dosing window plus some time on either side. What about enzymes and probiotics? Should those also be taken only at night after all dosing is good and done?
5. Daily mixture. While all my practice days have involved making 1, 2, and 3 drop doses, I do go into the office one day a week. My office is wide open with many people around me. I'm not yet comfortable with setting up a chemistry lab for all to see. So I'm thinking to do the one-day-at-a-time mixture on my office days and just slip in a quick nip every hour. (I could probably mix 1-2 fresh mixtures in the am before I leave the house. so not all doses would be from the larger mixture.) However, my impression is that the full day mixture isn't nearly as good as the fresh mixtures, so I'm wondering about being seen as a mad scientist and thinking it may be worth it.

Will it disrupt my protocol to do this weekly big mixture plan?
Thank you so much!!
