ISSUE: FDA warned consumers not to consume or use Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid solution also known as "Miracle Mineral Supplement" or "MMS." The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health. The product instructs consumers to mix the 28 percent sodium chlorite solution with an acid such as citrus juice. This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment. High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.
BACKGROUND: MMS is distributed on Internet sites and online auctions by multiple independent distributors. MMS claims to treat multiple unrelated diseases, including HIV, hepatitis, the H1N1 flu virus, common colds, acne, cancer, and other conditions. The FDA is not aware of any research that MMS is effective in treating any of these conditions. MMS also poses a significant health risk to consumers who may choose to use this product for self-treatment instead of seeking FDA-approved treatments for these conditions.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Consumers who have MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away. The FDA advises consumers who have experienced any negative side effects from MMS to consult a health care professional as soon as possible.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
* Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm * Phone: 1-800-332-1088 * Mail: return the postage-paid FDA form 3500, which may be downloaded from the MedWatch "Download Forms" page, to address on the pre-addressed form * Fax: 1-800-FDA-0178 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 MMS also poses a significant health risk to consumers who may choose to use this product for self-treatment instead of seeking FDA-approved treatments for these conditions. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 The dear ones at the FDA want us to seek FDA approved treatment...
What they don't tell you is they will not approve most testing that has come down the pipeline
which has resulted in keeping people sick, and now they want to tell us what not to use....
In fact people they tell you to seek FDA approved testing!!!! So what are they to do???
This vicious circle must stop... Thanks for sending out Rick@lymeinfoYahoogroups.

Stevia is a prime example of the failure of the FDA. A perfectly healthy sweetener is not allowed to be labeled as a sweetener or used in other products as a sweetener. It can be sold as a supplement, however.
Yet they allow saccharine, aspartame, and now splenda to be sold, all of which are unsafe.

You are so right!! The others can be VERY harmful, esp to Lyme patients.

I tried to warn you.
Reading about it scared me.
We need glucose...a LOT. Complex carbs do NOT trigger an insulin spike which is what we need to avoid. Insulin activates PFK. Bb is PFK dependent.
Bb needs glucose to make his cell walls and for his ATP.
In a jam, WE can use ketones as an alternative fuel for our cells.
A very specific ketone, BHB (from caprylic acid in virgin coconut oil)can help. It goes into the cells and into the citric acid cycle in our mitochondria (powerhouses) to generate ATP in our infected defense cells.
Caprylic acid is a KNOWN anti-bacterial, anti-viral and most important anti-fungal.
This is how the "medicinal food" for AD works. It is called Axona and is expensive...very.
It takes TIME!!!
This is all about helping out our infected defense cells that Bb is robbing of glucose so the cells can "power up" themselves and do the job they are supposed to do.
Instead of dying via the P13K pathway.
ICHT -> more ATP (and weight loss -> ketones) Photon therapy -> more ATP Axona (caprylic acid + lots of nutrients)-> more ATP
GcMAF...
an enzyme we/Bb makes/releases robs the "glyco"(carb chain) off a glycoprotein that is the precursor to a protein needed for vitamin D to bind to the cells. This -> macrophages ("pac men") unable to finish their job.
Doc in Japan has figured out how to restore GcMAF and it supposedly is working to CURE cancer and HIV.
(MAF = macrophage activating factor.) Not working.
Look very very closely at Manuka Honey (active 16+). Sorry, $$$...Whole Foods carries it. Comes from New Zealand. It is NOT pasteurized (would destroy the benefits!).
Combined with a tad of good old cinnamon...which is KNOWN to help prevent diabetes.
VCO...the "real" stuff that sorta looks like Crisco does NOT go "rancid".
Think about WHY that is so.
Now, we used to preserve meat by salting...
Not particularly good from a lyme standpoint, though many other pathogens don't like NaCl.
Bb needs NaCl for motility.

What about Really Raw honey in lieu of the Manuka honey? It is allegedly taken from the hive and never heated or filtered.
Anyone have any inside information on it?

From just the anecdotal evidence available, MMS seems to be well tolerated by most people. I would say around 95% do not have any problems with using it.
There seems to be a subset of people who do not tolerate it well, and respond badly to it. I do not know the reason, but they are there.
I did not have any problems with it, and it actually helped me a great deal ridding me of Crohn's symptoms.
My wife, who has Lyme, used it for a while, and it caused some very nasty herxes. Literally had to lower from a beginning one drop dose to one half drop dose.
It worked similar to the natural antibiotics used previously only even more so. She eventually did get up to higher doses, but then stomach problems prevented further use.
She has had Stomach problems with virtually every oral medication, but MMS is hard on the stomach. I would compare it as not as bad as Doxy, but fairly close. I have used both.
If you use MMS, it is very important to start slow, and it would be a good idea to have blood work done to make sure nothing adverse is happening. This is how I tested it out.
It is a good treatment for unexplained pathogen related illness, but it is not risk free. I think its application for Lyme would be in a low dose form over time. That is the only way i would use it for this disease. Any high doses are likely to produce stomach problems, and add to the possibility of an adverse reaction.
It is another tool, but it has its risks that need to be considered.
