I decided to try MMS (chlorine dioxide) a couple of days ago. I really wanted this to work - I had read that it can dissolve biofilms and attack lyme. I took 3 drops and felt dizzy / tired for the next few hours. Then, I had a horrible hangover the next day and my brain felt like mush. The day after that, a small hangover and my brain still feels like mush plus a pounding headache. I'm hoping my brain will return to normal in a few days? I can still taste it in my throat.
None of my herxes have felt like this.
I don't know if MMS works for anything else but I do NOT recommend taking this for lyme. Even if it did kill lyme I wouldn't touch it again.
Thanks,

Why did you try 3 drops instead of half a drop like it is usually recommended?
Anyway, during lyme I couldn't stand HALF A DROP either and didn't take it for lyme.
After my lyme was gone, i can stand even 20 drops without any herxes whatsoever...
During lyme, my tummy got so painful with MMS, even this half drop.
I guess, like cats claw, if you start with a high dose (3 drops is high for starting), you will have the same reaction: pretty bad herxes!

It nearly ate my stomach.

You too Tutu??
FOr me it was horrible too, I mean, my stomach.
Then lyme went dormant, I tried it again not so long ago. I felt nothing in my stomach!
I increased the dosage, I even could take about 20 drops at once. The taste is HORRIBLE, but the pain was ZERO!!
It did help my kidney infection, but it didn't SOLVE it for good. My fever went down, the infection got knocked, but not completely.
But anyway, it's funny that during lyme I had such a strong tummy pain with it!

Ha Ha Ha!
I'm sorry I laughed, but that stuff is nasty, and strong! You described my experience almost to a tee.
My personal opinion is that for most people trying to take it for lyme, it is actually hitting babesia, and that would explain your reaction.
It is still used, and originally "developed" for treating malaria deep in the bush in Africa (not by doctors, as it's too controversial).

I had no stomach issues, fortunately. My headache / brain freeze has lasted several days, though. It gets a little better each day.
For some reason whenever I try taking something it takes like a week for it to clear my system. My liver and kidney tests came back completely healthy. After even just one alcoholic beverage I feel hungover the next day. This started before I got lyme I still don't know whats going on.

That's usually a sign of yeast.

Funny the liver tests came perfectly well.
Hungover till the next day: this is so common too, with almost everyone with lyme. I couldn't even sip a glass of wine during lyme. After lyme, I can take glasses of wine without trouble.
3 drops = massive herxes, in my opinion. People with lyme shouldn't start with strong doses. TNT is also right: it could have been hitting babesia and G. knows what else.
I treated a fungal infection with it, not long ago. It did hit it too (in my kidney), even though it didn't SOLVE it. My fever vanished after it. That is when I could take it in high doses.
Lyme treatment must be a bit of killers (right ones) and LOADS OF BINDERS, modulators, supplements. Really, the proportion can be 5% of killers to 95% of OTHER THINGS, so that you feel 'normal'.
If you don't do that, you may improve lightly in the beginning, but then your body will go backwards soon.
It can't deal with massive amounts of toxins, few lyme sufferers are super-men in that sense.
Just my opinion. We all start taking massive doses of killers, thinking that is what we need. WE do need killers, but if we ignore our detox organs (they need so much support), and taking binders, our lives get just miserable. And on top, we barely get any improvement in our load of infections.
On the contrary, they will thrive on a dirty body. A bit like what happens in you bathroom: corners are harder to clean: that is where mold and bacteria will happily grow!
