MMS/CD and Antioxidants

Some folks get confused and a bit hung up on the issue of MMS/CD and antioxidants. While it is true, we have said and many others emphasize, you cannot take MMS/CD with antioxidants. Fair enough, it stands to reason that taking antioxidants with an oxidizer is not the best thing to do.

BUT, you have to get a balance here. Consider this: For one, what is the type of “antioxidant” one is taking, is it a “strong” antioxidant? What is the amount you are taking, the strength of it, and so on. Having said this, I am not saying just throw all caution to the wind and consume any amount of antioxidants while doing an MMS/CD protocol. But for example, a few blueberries on top of your morning oatmeal is probably a non-issue while taking MMS, or a little bit of ginger mixed in with a stir fry. On the other hand, things like moringa, which is a very strong antioxidant, is a different story—and we know moringa does neutralize MMS.

The safest way to use antioxidants when on an MMS protocol is to start with MMS in the morning, early, use it hourly for 8 hours, wait two hours after the last dose and then take the antioxidants. But know this—antioxidants will carry into the blood and so will MMS, and thus they can cancel out one another. So think about separating them out. MMS only stays in the blood for about one hour after the last dose for the day. So to be safe, if you have waited two hours, the MMS is completely gone and thus cannot be affected by the antioxidant.

An important key here and something I say repeatedly is always follow the Three Golden Rules of MMS. This is so important. If you are taking certain antioxidant foods and trying to follow the guidelines I have mentioned here, but you are not seeing satisfactory results, well then consider what you may need to change—eliminate the blueberries (as an example). Change what you are doing—such as take a serious look at your diet and see if something needs to be eliminated for a time. Whatever you do, don’t stress over it. Listen to your body and change something if you are not getting results—but don’t quit!

Why it’s Not Working

From a discussion with Jim on why MMS/CD doesn’t seem to be working:

Jim: If it’s not working, do something different. But this can be tricky, you have to give each thing enough time to work, don’t be rash, but don’t stay stuck either, this is where listening to your body comes in and the Three Golden Rules of MMS (chlorine dioxide)—it all works together.

You need to realize, for most people when they get a big diagnosis of some kind, it likely took a long time to get to the condition they are in. So with that in mind, it’s important to realize it might take some time to get well. Today, everybody wants a quick fix—that is just the world we live in. But full and lasting recovery/healing might take some time, so the quicker you resign yourself to that fact the better.

Now, here are a few key points to get down if you want to recover, or if you are not seeing the results you would like:

First off, remember, you’ve got to listen to your body. It’s not a race, more is not always better, sometimes less is more, but there may also be a time when maybe you need to ramp it up. But the main point here is you’ve got to listen to your body, and always, always follow the Three Golden Rules of MMS.

Pay attention, listen to the signals your body is giving you, and adjust things accordingly. That means for example, if you start to get a touch of diarrhea, that is your body telling you to back off some, back off, but don’t quit. Or maybe you aren’t seeing any change, no results, that might be the time to take a look over what else you are putting in your body at the same time you are taking MMS/CD. What else are you putting into the mix? Are you taking other meds at the same time, or taking too many supplements at once? Maybe you need to cut the caffeine out all together at least for a time, and so on. These are only a few examples, the point is you’ve got to pay attention and listen to your body, and if you don’t know how to do that, you’ve got to learn.

Along this line, another reason why people do not get well, I am convinced, is they are doing too many things at the same time and they never let one thing do its thing. Of course, there is a balance to this, but overall this is my opinion. It’s best to keep it simple, and not try and mix too many things at once. Let chlorine dioxide do the work of ridding your body of poisons/toxins, then you can work on building up your strength and nutrition and all the rest after. MMS/CD will prepare the way for recovery. Let it rid the body of toxins, then the body will take care of the rest if you give it a chance.

This brings me to the next very fundamental point and that is, I suggest you work on making any necessary life style changes that will help you stay healthy and fit. You can’t expect to keep doing the same things that got you sick in the first place if you want to live a healthy, fit life. You might need a permanent diet change, or maybe you need to take a look at your exposure to environmental toxins and see how to minimize them in your home. Maybe you need to get out in nature more, or perhaps you need to forgive someone—the list goes on. Just start somewhere, consider what changes need to be made, and start implementing them one by one. As you start feeling better and experience better quality of life, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get started earlier to walk down this path of wellness.

Read Chapter 8 in the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook for more reasons on why MMS/CD may not be working for you and to make sure you are not doing something that nullifies MMS/CD.

Important Safety Tip on Mixing a Dose

Recently it has come to our attention that some people question if you need to take an MMS/CD dose in water.

The answer is a big YES! All MMS (chlorine dioxide) doses, with whatever “variation” of MMS/CD one is taking, needs to be mixed in water. You NEVER take it straight. The standard is usually 4oz of water per dose. This applies to all “variations” of MMS/CD.

In our fast-paced world, and due to many groups on social media (Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, X, and so on) focused on MMS/CD, while we hope this facilitates people learning about this amazing substance, at the same time, there is an element of confusion that enters in.

Thus the reason for this post—please, please, please never take MMS/CD without mixing it in water. In addition, below are some definition of terms from Jim’s MMS Health Recovery Handbook that are important to know for anyone who wants to explore the world of MMS/CD:

  • Chlorine Dioxide: A chemical compound (ClO2) taken from a naturally occurring mineral. It is used in the health recovery program of this book to destroy pathogens and neutralize poisons.
  • MMS: Unactivated MMS, which is a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) in water. (This is made from 80% sodium chlorite powder or flakes.)
  • MMS1: Also referred to as activated MMS. (Note the added “1” to MMS.) It is MMS (sodium chlorite) plus an activator (food acid). When the two are mixed together they produce MMS1 (chlorine dioxide [ClO2]).

Note: Although the chemical formula for chlorine is “Cl”, Sodium Chlorite: Manufactured from a chemical taken from sodium chloride (NaCl, plain salt), which is a natural mineral found in large deposits throughout the world.

There are many different processes for making sodium chlorite (NaClO2). It cannot be done in your kitchen. It must be done in a factory. When this industrial process is completed, you have sodium chlorite (NaClO2), which is the raw material for making MMS. MMS is a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite in water.

CDS and CDH (other variations of MMS): For a more comprehensive overview of these, and to learn Jim Humble’s views on them please see:

How does MMS affect bacteria in the body?

First facts, MMS does not kill friendly bacteria. What is the difference in useful bacteria and the harmful stuff? Well the feces of the useful bacteria is not poisonous and the feces of the harmful bacteria is poisonous and that is what makes one sick and causes the problems.

Poisons have long chains of atoms and molecules. It is easy to break the chain and destroy the poison. With chlorine dioxide present the poisonous chain is oxidized, but since the chain is coming from the body of the pathogen it can be oxidized before it is all the way out of the body. The oxidation (fire) kills the pathogen.

Go to https://www.lenntech.com and look up their articles on chlorine dioxide (MMS). If you are careful to find all their data you will find a more scientific explanation of the reason why friendly bacteria is not killed.

MMS/CD and Plastics

Question: How does MMS interact with various plastics?

Jim: In regards to your question about plastics, we really cannot give you a “sure bet” answer. This is because the world of plastics is vast, and like so many things in our environment, it’s difficult to know what is really what. To give you an idea, a University of Texas Study published in Environmental Health Perspectives confirmed that hormone-disrupting chemicals leach from almost all plastics, even BPA-free plastics.

So talking about the BPA issue for example. You can go down the aisle in the supermarket today and see the label “BPA Free” many times over, but what they do not tell you however, is what else is in the item that is marked “BPA free” that is toxic. Much like the sugar craze –when “sugar” was the bad guy we started seeing labels “sugar free” everywhere—but if you look closer you might find the product is full of high fructose corn syrup or some other very toxic sugar substitutes.

So all this to say, we really can’t say if the product you want to purchase on Amazon is safe with MMS or not, because we would have to do thorough investigation and testing on on the product to know that. It pays to learn how to read labels and it pays to do your research.

We would say if you want to be safe, don’t use plastics—find a ceramic bathtub or some other solution. And I might add, use glass water bottles, food storage containers and so on. I hope this is a help and not discouraging and we hope you find a doable solution, there is always a way.

Importance of Following the Plan

Every week at least one new person approaches me with the question will MMS/CD help overcome some new disease. MMS/CD is an oxidizer that fits into the operation of the body in the exact right chemical balance to kill diseases and their poisons and eradicate heavy metals. Drugs must somehow attack the nucleus of the disease in order to kill it and they often never do the job, but the MMS/CD oxidizer just attacks the pathogen. Pathogens have no protection for oxidizers and no way of developing a protection. There are thousands of diseases with names someone has given them and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of all of them. So I can only tell you that MMS has a very high chance of overcoming your disease just like the rest of them. In 70 years no known disease has developed a resistance to this oxidizer.

In the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook, I couldn’t possibly list every disease known to mankind. There are too many, but just the same, the MMS/CD oxidizer oxidizes them. Yes, MMS/CD is effective against nearly all diseases—if used correctly and consistently. Consistency is key.

I often say, there is really only “one” MMS/CD protocol, and that is the Health Recovery Plan. I know it is hard to believe, but MMS/CD takes care of all that you mention with one Health Recovery Plan. This is explained in the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook. This book is the result of feedback from thousands and thousands of people. Buy the book and follow the HRP (Health Recovery Plan). It is all there.

For over twenty years I have been helping people overcome their various diseases. There are many hundreds of diseases that are out there. It has reached the point that I just have people do the HRP (Health Recovery Plan). It works with all diseases because all diseases for the human body are set in a certain physical and chemical range that MMS (sodium chlorite and chlorine dioxide) destroys. MMS/CD has now gone around the world and we’ve seen great results. I highly suggest you read the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook. Try it, but do exactly as the protocols are given in the book. Those protocols were developed after receiving back thousands of emails and data from thousands of cases.

Follow the Health Recovery Plan for whatever the problem is. Study Chapter 5 and get the real concept of the Health Recovery Plan, and follow it, and you have a good chance of helping your loved one recover. This plan guides one to know how to add on additional protocols or procedures if and when needed. Nearly all diseases and health problems can be remedied with MMS/CD by following the instructions in the Guidebook.

The main things to remember are to:

Follow the Health Recovery Plan. Our Key Protocols go together with a number of Supporting Protocols to make up the Health Recovery Plan. (See Chapter 5)

  • Start with Starting Procedure. (page 79) going up through the Key Protocols and adding on Supporting Protocols (see page 71 for explanation on Supporting Protocols and how to add them on.)
  • Follow the Three Golden Rules! Always, always, always, follow these rules.
  • Be constant (it is better to do less consistently every hour for 8-10 hours than to do a lot all at once. Be diligent to take your dose consecutively every hour on the hour. A fundamental principle of MMS/CD is that hitting the pathogens every hour does not give pathogens time to regroup and build back up, but instead, being constantly hit without a chance to regroup, they die off. You may find you can only handle 1 drop an hour, even though last year you did 3 drops an hour with no problem. Why is this? Our bodies change; different types of pathogens or toxins, or different amounts of pathogens or toxins may contribute to varied reactions. Any number of circumstances and conditions may have bearing on how much MMS/CD you can tolerate. I want to repeat, it is not a race to see how much MMS you can take. We have had some people with advanced cancers get well on only 1-drop doses of MMS/CD each hour and low doses of MMS2, and some on even less, a 1/4 or 1/2 drop dose but they were consistent taking their drops every hour for 8 to 10 hours.
  • Read Chapter 8 in the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook to make sure you are not doing something that nullifies MMS/CD. Listen to your body,

More is Not Always Better

In my books, there are times when one might need to take larger doses of MMS/CD. In Protocol 2000, for example you’ll find maximum dosage amounts. Some might take this to mean the more MMS one takes the better. But this is NOT necessarily so! More is not necessarily better, you need to listen to your body!

Always remember, it is imperative to follow the Three Golden Rules of MMS. Your own body will tell you what your personal ideal dose is. Most people will never get up to anywhere near the maximum dosage amounts. These are maximum amounts—they are not a goal. Such amounts may be needed for some, but not for others.

Take Protocol 1000 for example, which is the basic MMS/CD protocol, which has been proven time and time again to help a variety of health conditions. This protocol suggests working up to a 3-drop dose of MMS/CD every hour. However, some people cannot get up to a 3-drop dose hourly. This is okay, and this is where the Three Golden Rules of MMS enter in.

You may be able to take a certain amount of MMS, say a 3-drop dose for Protocol 1000, for one illness. But then down the road sometime if you need to repeat Protocol 1000, you may find you can only handle 1 drop an hour, even though last year you did 3 drops an hour with no problem. Why is this? Our bodies change; different types of pathogens or toxins, or different amounts of pathogens or toxins may contribute to varied reactions. Any number of circumstances and conditions may have bearing on how much MMS you can tolerate. This is why it is so important to pay attention to the signals your body is giving you, and why I want to repeat, it is not a race to see how much MMS you can take.

Each person is different, for some people a fast track approach or higher dosing may be needed, and for others, low dosing brings results. As I have mentioned earlier, we have had some people with advanced cancers get well on only 1-drop doses of MMS each hour and low doses of MMS2, and some on even less, a 1/4 or 1/2 drop dose. Again, it is not a race, listen to your body, and always, always follow the Three Golden Rules of MMS.

Two Main Keys to Success with MMS/CD

You might think there are too many details to pay attention to when doing a MMS/CD protocol. Well, I’m not gonna lie to you, there are some details involved. But let me tell you two key points if you want to get well using MMS/CD. These points are of utmost importance and these two points, believe it or not, are where those who fail usually mess up.

Number One: You gotta be constant (it is better to do less drops consistently every hour for 8-10 hours than to do a lot all at once. Be diligent to take your dose consecutively every hour on the hour. A fundamental principle of MMS is that hitting the pathogens every hour does not give pathogens time to regroup and build back up, but instead, being constantly hit without a chance to regroup, they die off.

You may find you can only handle 1 drop an hour, even though last year you did 3 drops an hour with no problem. Why is this? Our bodies change; different types of pathogens or toxins, or different amounts of pathogens or toxins may contribute to varied reactions. Any number of circumstances and conditions may have bearing on how much MMS/CD you can tolerate.

But remember, the key is consistency. If you have to reduce your dose, due to feeling nauseous or getting loose bowels, reduce, but DO NOT quit. Keep it up on an hourly basis. Keep in mind, it is not a race to see how much MMS/CD you can take. We have had some people with advanced cancers get well on only 1-drop doses of MMS/CD each hour, and some on even less, a 1/4 or 1/2 drop dose–but they were consistent taking their drops every hour for 8 to 10 hours a day. So again, consistency is key. Stick to it.

Number Two: Another key point is take notice of what might be canceling out the MMS/CD. I’ve put guidelines in my book, see page 56, and Chapter 8 in the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook, on what things cancel out MMS/CD. Start there, and if you are not getting results take a look at what you might be doing that is cancelling out chlorine dioxide in your body.

Look at your diet and consider what may need to be eliminated, or take note of what other factor may be involved. For example, the general rule for those who drink coffee or tea is to separate these drinks out from your dose by 2 hours. This could mean you drink your coffee at breakfast, and then wait two hours before you start your dosing hours. This has worked for many through the years, but if you are not seeing results, you might want to cut the coffee and all caffeine drinks out all together for the time you are on a protocol.

Drinks and foods have what is called a half-life and for some, depending on their condition and what is going on in their body this could have bearing on getting well. “Separating out” for one or two hours may not be enough. So pay attention and listen to your body.

The main point I am saying here, is be consistent with hourly dosing, and pay attention to what could be cancelling out MMS. If you are not getting results, change something, adjust your diet, increase your dose, add on a Supporting Protocol and so on. The details are all in the book. (MMS Health Recovery Guidebook)


Note: In the context of food and drinks, half-life (specifically biological half-life) refers to the time it takes for your body to metabolize, break down, or eliminate half of a consumed substance, such as caffeine, alcohol, or nutrients.
It describes how long a substance remains active in your system before being filtered out by the liver or kidneys. For example, if a substance has a 5-hour half-life, 50% is gone in 5 hours, 75% in 10 hours, and so on.

A substance’s half-life can differ based on age, metabolism, liver function, and genetics.

Clarification of MMS Terms

The following is from Jim Humble, taken from the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook.

MMS is the general acronym term used throughout the world to indicate many of the different uses of a solution of sodium chlorite in water. Sodium chlorite is a mineral/chemical, that when mixed with a food grade acid generates chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide kills diseases inside and outside of the human body, and, it is chlorine dioxide which is the active ingredient used in most of our protocols.

So, the question is sometimes posed: What is MMS? Is it sodium chlorite? Or is it chlorine dioxide? The answer is: It is both! As I said above, the term MMS is often used as a generic term to describe what I have called Miracle Mineral Solution in the past, and what I now call the Master Mineral Solution. In this context one might say, “Well, it’s the mineral solution, therefore it’s chlorine dioxide.” Yes, but then again, a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite is also usually sold by the name of MMS, and is called MMS in this, and other books and websites.

In our books, and as noted above in the definition list, we refer to MMS as a 22.4% solution of sodium chlorite in water, and use the acronym MMS1 to indicate that a food acid has been added to MMS which generates a chlorine dioxide solution. Technically MMS is sodium chlorite (a 22.4% solution in water), and MMS1 is MMS plus an activator, which produces chlorine dioxide. However, in every day talk both are often simply called MMS. One might say, “It’s time for my MMS dose”, (meaning their activated MMS drops in water), or “Hand me the MMS so I can mix up my dose”, meaning hand me the bottle of 22.4% sodium chlorite solution which will then be mixed with food grade acid to produce chlorine dioxide. Or, taking it further, one might say, “I have to order some MMS”, which is likely to mean he/she will order a bottle of sodium chlorite 22.4%, plus a bottle of food grade acid.

There are some who refer to MMS simply as “CD” for chlorine dioxide [which it is]. I am going into this lengthy explanation, not with the intent to confuse, but hopefully to clarify, because the term MMS has gone far and wide and is used around the world in this general way—in my opinion, there is no stopping it. I have concluded we simply have to go with the flow.

Think of it like this—I often liken MMS to the generic term for coffee. One might say they like to drink coffee. But the question is raised: What type of coffee? After all, there are many types and variations of coffee and ways to make it. There is drip/filter coffee, coffee made from a French press, or a percolator or in an espresso machine, or the quick and easy instant coffee. There are a variety of coffee beans and even more varieties of coffee blends. There are all types of ways to prepare and drink coffee. One might like a Cappuccino, another a Mocha Late, another a simple Espresso, an Americano, Turkish Coffee, Irish Coffee, Vienna Coffee, Café Cubano, Caffe Latte, or a good ol’ cup of Juan Valdez. The point is, often when referring to all these and many more variations of coffee, if you were going out with friends, you would be likely to say, “Let’s go for coffee”, but when you get to the coffee shop a variety of coffee would be ordered. In this sense, coffee is a broad term and the same can be said for the term, MMS.

So, when it comes to mixing up doses of MMS and using it for restoring one’s health according to this book, please diligently follow the terms for MMS as listed in the definitions above (see pages 5-8 in the MMS Health Recovery Guidebook) and know that when speaking in general terms, the acronym MMS is used in a variety of ways.
