Unpleasant Symptoms, Biofilms, Going Too Fast

/by

Note: In a health context, a biofilm is a structured, highly organized community of microorganisms (such as bacteria or fungi) that adheres to a surface and is encased within a self-produced, sticky, gel-like matrix of proteins, DNA, and sugars. Instead of floating freely as individual cells, the microbes (bad stuff) physically cluster together to form a “fortress”. Biofilms present a threat to human health and are a major driver of chronic infections as the protective matrix prevents host immune cells (like white blood cells) from penetrating and destroying the pathogens.

Biofilms can form on natural human tissues, causing persistent conditions like dental plaque (cavities/gum disease), chronic wounds, chronic sinusitis, lung infections and other chronic conditions. Standard antibiotics often fail to clear a biofilm as they are extremely antibiotic resistant due to the self-produced matrix that shields the microbes acting as a barrier. However, MMS/chlorine dioxide has been known to break through biofilms, when this happens if done too quickly, some temporary uncomfortable symptoms may occur. Below is what Jim had to say about it.

Jim: Sometimes when people begin to have uncomfortable symptoms when taking MMS/CD, such as nausea, dizziness, maybe a headache, skin breakouts, and so on—they tend to right away give up. But what you need to realize is this likely means you have hit something important. Those kind of symptoms and a dozen other things, often means the MMS/CD is working—it is doing it’s job.

It is quite likely something bad just broke loose somewhere in your gut or elsewhere. This happens when there is a biofilm that finally breaks lose. Biofilm is a film that contains many bad pathogens and poisons. Think of it as a hideout for pathogens, they can hide inside the biofilm and it can be tough to break through that biofilm to free you of the poisons. It takes a while to overcome such a film. It sometimes can take weeks to finally get the biofilm uncovered and broken loose. And when you finally break through it, these symptoms can occur because it’s put out many poisons all at once. So you see, though uncomfortable, this actually can be a good sign. BUT it is also a sign you may be going too fast. The MMS/CD is doing what you want, but too fast.

When this happens, just reduce your MMS intake by 50% but keep going and then build back up to the proper dose, but go slowly so as not to make yourself too sick. Remember, these symptoms can be a sign that things are working, but also a sign they are working a little too fast.

Remember the Three Golden Rules. If you feel worse, cut your intake by 50% but keep at it, and if you still feel worse cut it again and then work back up slowly. Just follow the procedure and the Three Golden Rules.

Cravings/Weight Management/Blocked Veins

/by

A conversation with Jim in 2010:

D: Some doctors have told me that harmful pathogens have the ability to manipulate the brain chemistry to make you crave the things they want to eat. Since I have been on MMS/CD, I have lost all cravings. I have also lost 60 pounds (which I needed to lose), but I did not go on a diet. I am stabilized now at a good weight for me. I still eat the things I want to eat when I want it, but I just don’t crave things like I did before, and I don’t overeat until I am sick every time because my body has been craving things that I didn’t understand why and that I don’t need.

Jim: Yes, it stands to reason that harmful pathogens most definitely have an effect on brain chemistry. And because MMS oxidizes pathogens (toxins and poisons) in the body, it is no surprise that this will help balance out cravings and can help manage weight. Many have said it has helped in this area.

And a number of people have called me and said they got their veins checked for blockage and after taking MMS for a month, pretty heavy doses like 15 drops a day (throughout the day) they experienced real good improvement on the blockage in their veins. So obviously if they got improvement on their blockage, this can improve the blood pressure as well.

Making Health Decisions

/by

Following is Jim’s answer to someone who was struggling with trying to get a loved one to follow certain procedures regarding their health:

Jim: It is important to understand, that what a person decides to do about their own health is a very personal matter. In addition, there are so many factors involved in making a decision about which way to go involving one’s health. You’ve got to remember that everyone is different and what may be right for one person, may not be right for another.

We are not doctors, we do not diagnose, prescribe, treat, prevent or cure. We merely pass along information based on our experience and the experience of others. Everyone has the responsibility of choosing their own health treatment, with the supervision of a qualified health professional, if desired.

That said, if a person decides they would like to try MMS for any health reason, the overall rule of thumb is to start out with low doses every hour for at least 8 hours a day, (can be longer—depending on health condition and so on) and then slowly increase the dosing. If at any time one starts to feel nausea or diarrhea coming on that is more than a slight twinge, lower the dose until this subsides and then slowly increase again until you find the right dose for you. That is an amount that does not cause diarrhea or nausea (which is called a Herxheimer reaction). There are various details that are important to know, which is why I wrote the Guidebook. If you want to succeed, you need to know the details.

I understand your position to want to know everything “right now” but it really is wise to get the full counsel in the book. I tried to make it as concise as possible, so hopefully it is not hard to follow. I know in today’s world people want a quick fix, a short cut, a bio-hack. But it pays to get the basics down. There’s just no substitute for getting a good foundation. In situations when a person is seriously ill, if it were me, I would follow the Health Recovery Plan as outlined in the book. This helps one personalize their own protocol. It’s really not rocket science, but you gotta do a little homework. Get the basics down. Pay attention—follow the signals your body is giving you, and adjust what you are doing accordingly.

MMS/CD and Antioxidants

/by

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

/by

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

/by

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?

/by

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

/by

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

/by

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

/by

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.
