Numbness, medically referred to as paresthesia when accompanied by tingling or “pins and needles” sensations, is an abnormal sensory experience caused by disruption of nerve signaling. It most commonly affects the hands, feet, arms, or legs and may be temporary, such as after prolonged pressure on a nerve, or persistent due to underlying conditions. Causes can include nerve compression, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, circulatory problems, autoimmune disorders, infections, or neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Symptoms may involve reduced sensation, tingling, burning, or weakness in the affected area. While brief episodes are often harmless, persistent, progressive, or one-sided numbness—especially when associated with weakness or speech difficulty—requires prompt medical evaluation.
Sleep disturbance and intense physical sensations after taking a drop
I took my first drop last night, a few hours before I went to bed. What happened next was thoroughly unpleasant.
After I laid down, I was tired but couldn’t fall asleep. I began to have crazy thoughts and what seemed like waking dreams. Later on, my heart began to beat fiercely, so much that I was worried I had induced a panic attack. Strange sensations all over my body after that, followed by cold chills. After a couple of hours I finally fell asleep.
I took another drop in the morning and felt OK, but I’m scared to take any more.
Lyme disease with neurological symptoms shows improved fasciculations and f
{Part of original post}
I am a seriously ill person who has been diagnosed with both ALS and Lyme Disease…
I thought I had better qualify my previous statement. I now realize it sounds like I have both diseases whereas it is actually more of an either/or situation:
I am not sure if I have ALS or Lyme disease. I was diagnosed with ALS by a neurologist last May but 2 months later, I took antibiotics for an unrelated ailment (swollen glands) and I had a “Herxheimer reaction” (which should not happen to an ALS patient). Since August, I have been also given a working diagnosis of Lyme by an infectious diseases doctor (it can sometimes imitate ALS) and have recently had a weak/borderline positive Lyme test result from IgeneX labs in CA. So, my feeling is that I do have Lyme (with severe neurological manifestation of symptoms) and not ALS, even though I have been diagnosed with both.

I have been taking MMS for 1 month now. Currently, I am at 10 drops twice a day. I have had to stop and re-start twice due to extreme “herx” reactions. My goal is to get up to 15 drops 2x a day WITHOUT nausea. I got up to 15 drops before and had a violent reaction (the usual- vomiting and diarrhea) BUT I felt great for several days after the reaction subsided. I DO feel like it is getting to something toxic in my system and killing it.
I am still weak, have trouble walking and my hands are crippled from nerve damage. I do notice that some of my other symptoms are better or gone.
Better: fasciculations (twitching muscles), fatigue
Gone: tingling, facial numbness, blurred vision
Reduced foot numbness and improved breathing after long-term MMS use
Started taking MMS Oct 30/07 because of suspected Mercury toxicity as I have 11 Amalgam tooth fillings, was told by DR. that I had no symptoms of Mercury toxicity, but he could not explain what is causing my feet to feel hot and numbness in the toes, I broke my left ankle last spring and the entire foot had become numb most of the time [He called it “Burning Foot Syndrome”]. Also because of I have spent a lot of time outdoors during my 77 years and even tho my health seemed fairly good I wondered if I might have picked up parasites sometime.
Slowly worked up to 20 drops [eyedropper] twice daily activated with Citric Acid, useing water and Apple Cider to mask the taste, continued at 20 drops twice daily for another 10 days, now at 6 drops once daily, I add about an inch of water in a small glass and brush my teeth with it and swish it around in my mouth before swallowing, then rinse my mouth with water. ALL the plaque is gone from my teeth, mouth feels very good.
Had 3 days of gassy and acidy stomach at 13 drops twice daily, a day of diarreha at 17 drops, saw 30 to 50 dark brown tapered objects which I think was some kind of parasite in the toilet on 3 occasions that day, I am glad to be rid of whatever it was, sorry I did not feel like picking some of them out for further investigation at that time as it would be interesting to know what they were.
My feet are slowly improving, but I am sure complete healing will take several more months. My breathing has also improved, nasal passages stay clear more, definitely have less mucus forming in the nasal passages. I generally am feeling better because of easier breathing.
I plan to stay with 6 drops daily for another 2 or 3 months to see what happens before I cut back or stop, but I will keep some available for personal use.
Hot feet and numbness show some improvement
