Sleep disorder refers to any condition that significantly impairs the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, achieve restorative sleep, or maintain normal sleep-wake patterns, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, mood disturbances, or impaired functioning. Common types include insomnia (difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep despite adequate opportunity), sleep apnea (repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, often due to airway obstruction, causing snoring, gasping, and fragmented rest), narcolepsy (sudden, uncontrollable sleep attacks and loss of muscle tone/cataplexy), restless legs syndrome (uncomfortable urges to move the legs, usually at night, with creepy-crawly sensations), periodic limb movement disorder (involuntary jerking of limbs during sleep), circadian rhythm disorders (e.g., delayed sleep phase, jet lag, or shift work disorder disrupting natural body clock timing), and parasomnias (abnormal behaviors like sleepwalking, night terrors, or REM sleep behavior disorder where people act out dreams). These disorders can be primary or secondary to medical conditions, medications, psychiatric issues, or lifestyle factors, often resulting in chronic tiredness, concentration problems, and increased risk for accidents, cardiovascular disease, or mental health issues.
Exposure to contaminated water and mold led to prolonged illness resolved b
I first got sick while working on a home in the mountains. I was working in a crawl space installing fiberglass installation. The area was low clearance so I was forced to lie on my back. It was late fall and I was laying on ice that had water running over it. The water was flowing under the house. When it first came under the wall it flowed through many areas of debris that had feces and other rat nest items. I had tried to remove this at first but there was so much of it and it got airborne and the mask I had did not seem to stop it. So I left it alone. So the water had all that in it as well. Additionally, since I was working on the average 10 hours a day I was constantly wet and cold from this water and the cramped conditions. I got very sick for about 2 weeks after this job but felt mostly better after that. Then in January of 2008 my wife and I went to India, while there I got violently ill. This was partly due to my own foolishness of working out barefooted outside the next to the last day there. For those that have not been to India recently let me explain. The air pollution is so bad that you can not see over 100 feet and by the end of the day your eyes are burning and red. Additionally, even though we wore air breathing masks by the end of the day our lungs burned. You can not drink tap water as well as many types of bottled water. Pollution is rampant everywhere. Finally, the ground is covered with a black soot which is actually black mold spores as I found out.
By the day before leaving India I was already violently ill. It was all I could do to survive the trip back to the U.S. Upon getting back I went to the emergency room and got antibiotics. However, I only got worse after that.
I was sick for over 3 years. I tried everything I could find to get healthy.
Antibiotics-massive doses both orally and IV.
Oils (essential oils, organic oils; flax, hemp, coconut and others such as minerals and herbs)
Chinese herbs and acupuncture with several different Chinese doctors.
Reiki
Various other naturopathic systems (too numerous to mention)
Homeopathics
No matter what I did I would only feel a bit better for a few weeks at best some times only a day or two and then I would go back to being very sick. I had black mold in my lungs which I was coughing up black phlegm with blood on a daily basis. People did not like to sit near me and asked that I disinfect the area when I left due to all the sneezing and coughing and massive phlegm drainage I had. (By August of 2011 it was so massive from my entire repertory tract that I was blowing my nose and getting a shot glass worth every 2-3 minutes. I was also getting ruptures in my veins in my sinus cavities, even in the frontal and sigmoid sinus areas. My eustachian tubes were always completely plugged and painful. I was also always nauseous, had vertigo and ached in all muscles and joints all the time. Often I was racked with spasms in muscles accompanied by massive cramping in my intestinal tract. When I was in my late 20’s (I am 56 now) I only needed 4 hours of sleep to be rested. By 50’s I needed 10 hours to be rested. Once all the sickness set in after our India trip, 10 hours of sleep was never enough. Even with 14 hours I woke so exhausted I felt like I had not slept in a week. I often had to sleep up to 20 hours to function.
For a person in my original condition this was very traumatic. I have been a martial artist for over 35 years and have been teaching martial arts since 1987. I had been an avid runner, hiker, climber, skier, backpacker, you get the picture. But with all this sickness I had been unable to sustain a martial arts workout for all of 2011. The illness had put all my activities to a stop. I had finally to drop out of school as I could not continue with my illness. I had been working on a degree in Chinese Medicine at a school in Denver, Colorado. Additionally, the illness strained my relationship with my wife since I could never sleep with her since every time I laid down I had at least an hour of wrenching coughing and then when that subsided I would sneeze every 15 minutes even in my sleep (this was on the periods I was doing good). During bad periods I had to sleep on the floor in with my chest on the pillow making my head lower so the massive drainage did not drowned me. My wife and I would no longer even kiss or touch as I didn’t want to infect her. Even though I was sleeping in the living room and not touching her she still got flues and colds from me about once every 3 months.
By August of 2011 it would be hard to find a healing modality I had not tried, as well as full body cleanses and various systemic and organ cleanses. Nothing offered respite. The only protocols I had not tried were those I could not find in this country. I have looked for Ryfe therapy but can not find it. I had heard of the mms but could not find it either.
Then in October of 2011 my wife and I went on a trip to Turkey with our spiritual group. I figured I would not return as I was very sick. I thought that this would be my last time with my wife and so would share this with her before I left my physical form. However, while in Turkey a person on our tour bus had the mms protocol. He offered it to me. I tried it (we did not really have the time to do a full disease protocol). I only partially did it for 3 days. By the third dose I was so much better that I had no more nausea, body pain and most of the sneezing and coughing was gone. My lungs no longer burned with the black mold either. Because of these results and knowing it would be some time until I could get the mms for myself, on the third day I really concentrated on doing the protocol and did five 6 drop doses that day. (This was the last day we were in Turkey)
By the time I got home I was no longer ill at all. I could barely believe I got better while in Turkey.
I know am back to only needing 4 hours to be rested. Eight hours makes me feel supercharged now. I am back to full power martial arts workouts as well.
I am currently doing the disease protocol and building up the dosages with 10 drops being my current level (11 gave me diarrhea so I backed down to 10). This is as of 1 December 2011.
I have started the oral hygiene protocol. So far can say my teeth feel cleaner to my tongue than before. I have a lot of gum and tooth long term damage to measure against,. As I just started this week (11-28-11) so will see what my dentist and periodontist say when I go in for my oral cleaning followed by surgery in January.
For me the proof of a protocol is in the results, all the rest are just distractions to give you hope and temporary relief and not get you health permanently.
I would not recommend to people dying from aids, malaria, diabetes, cancer, etc to take anything else as they don’t always work and that means some people are going to die before they get better. Remember I WAS dying. I had gotten to the point where I could only crawl and my wife took me to the emergency room more than once and took off work to do so. I could no longer work, exercise, keep food or even water down. I could not sleep due to the pain and nausea I was in. When you haven’t slept but 1 to 2 minutes at a time for a total of about 2 hours a day for a year and are exhausted, dehydrated and starving to death and are still having to crawl every 5 to 10 minutes to the bath room to get sick you are in big trouble. The drugs, oils and other therapies only would give a very temporary slight improvement. What kind of healing recommendation is that? The mms protocol ALWAYS gets fast results and is low cost to use as well. It costs less that $1 per treatment. For me that means why bother with the rest when you have the best. The western IV’s with a rainbow of antibiotics only delayed my symptoms and problems for brief periods, 2 days at best. The IV’s with the saline and glucose solutions were necessary to keep me alive at that time since I could not ingest, digest, or keep anything in my body long enough to use it in any other way.
Yes there is already fear mongering: It is bleach. No it is not it has a different chemical formula. Bleach is NaOCl while mms is NaClO2 this is one more oxygen. The same as hydrogen peroxide is not water, one more oxygen. Hydrogen Peroxide is poison to drink while water is needed.
Drugs cause hundreds of thousands of deaths a year and have massive side affects. Look at all the drug advertisements. Yet the FDA does not pull them. Yet they are already starting to target this protocol. They have been trying for years to get vitamins outlawed. They are about the big $$$$ not protecting your health.

Improved energy and reduced digestive symptoms after using mms
I have been suffering from some sort of Lymes/digestion/mold sensitivity who knows? problem which has ruined my life, but recently started taking mms. I take 6 or 7 drops twice a day. I am sleeping great now and my energy level is very good. Notice I am not bothered with the disturbing symptoms in my gut as much as I used to be…
{7/16/09 – changed IDs to Anonymous Coward 727010}
I have been on this stuff for a few weeks now. Am up to 10 drops twice a day.
Amazing things are happening. Energy level great. I have had deep fisures in my heels my whole life. Recently I started getting them in my finger tips as well….they are fading in both places. A wart I had on one hand is almost gone…
I sleep SO MUCH BETTER. Digestion is 100% improved. I went through some bad nausea and diahrea and so scaled back for awhile.
I think this is the answer!
MMS causes gagging, headaches, and fatigue in daily use
I have purchased mms and have started using it. I am up to 8 drops 1 x a day. I can’t get past the taste! It is making me gag. I am feeling pretty bad most of the day with a headache and sleep 2-3 hours during the day. Does this sound normal? I feel much worse since starting it, and found I don’t have more energy….I have less…
MMS taken with juice improves sleep and mood in yeast-overloaded individual
You are supposed to take MMS between meals, waiting at least an hour after eating – because the antioxidants neutralize the MMS. Natural fruit juice does not. I didn’t recall reading anything about protein interacting with it, but that doesn’t mean that isn’t so. Generally I take it mid morning and late at night before going to bed.
…I’ve found sleep patterns are most often disrupted due to toxicity, disease, and overeating. Get rid of the toxins and you will sleep better. Also until I did the MMS I did not fully appreciate how dramatically a chemical imbalance in the body can mess up your emotional and mental state – until I also became much more clear headed, and HAPPY! for the first time in years. I was one of those who was overloaded with yeast, so the mood is related to that.
MMS use linked to improved skin texture and reduced muscle pain
Maybe you are getting benefits and just not recognizing it. I’ve been using various protocols from Cure Zone over the last year (oil pulling, Iodine supplementation, Humaworm, Essiac Tea , and now MMS). I’ve been on the MMS for just shy of a week now, and am now up to 9 drops 2x a day.
Like several people, I have not had D, nor V. You think because you aren’t getting the D or V that it’s not working. May I suggest the reasons you may not be getting it may be because your elimination processes are working well (liver, kidneys, colon, skin, etc.)? That doesn’t mean you aren’t sick, but perhaps you are voiding the toxins and wastes generated by the dieoff well?
From the other protocols I’ve followed, in my experience, my skin has moments of becoming baby soft. That’s the easiest indicator I have had for myself to know when I’m getting benefits from a protocol. It’s an easy visual and tactile indicator of how well your other organs are functioning and that the bad stuff IS being eliminated. When I’m at a standstill, my hands “look my age,” but when I’m making headway, my hands look and feel decades younger. Your skin is one of the major organs of elimination.
I KNOW the MMS is working for me despite not getting the D or V because within 1 hour of taking each dose, I get that baby-soft skin. As long as I’m getting the softer skin, I know it’s doing something to my benefit.
I have gotten an occasional stinging sensation where there is a mole, or where I’ve suspected there’s some internal problem that doctors have not diagnosed yet. Like near the gallbladder or duodenum, so I suspect the MMS is working there, but I have no proof. I can’t get the proof since doctors can’t find the problem there with their testing despite 16 years of pain there. The “proof” for me will be when that pain stops. It has been less frequent on the MMS. But I’m patiently waiting to give the MMS and my body time to react and hopefully this will someday go away.
For those of you not seeing benefits
I have gotten some fatigue on the MMS, which I do put down to detox, but I have had a LOT of energy boosts and alertness that I do not usually have. This is a BIG plus for me. I’ve a sleep disorder that three sleep studies have not been able to diagnose, so I’m hoping the MMS allows my body to “fix” whatever the mysterious sleep disorder is.
Also, maybe more of the smaller benefits that you may not be acknowledging are some of the muscle aches. I’m normally in a lot of muscle pain. Because of the sleep disorder, I never get the proper muscle healing we get when we go into deep sleep, so my muscles remain taught and painful and take forever to heal up after exercise. Well, ever since day one on the MMS, most (not all) of the muscle aches have gone away. I do still have problems at my worst areas, but it’s not the all over pain.
The “itty-bitty” benefits of the skin and muscle pain relief may sound minor, but they are signs of major healing going on inside. One reason muscles hurt and knot up is a build up of toxins in the muscles, viruses, and parasites. The pain relief is a sign to me that some of the baddies have been released from the muscle tissues. The healthy skin is a big indicator of general health because it shows the other organs are functioning well.
So when you are thinking you are not getting any benefits with MMS, think back to some of your itty-bitty improvements. Though peripherally small, they may be indicators of big benefits that you cannot see. Don’t give up. The small things you see may actually be big.
As to the taste, I only so far have had problems with taking it the first few times. At the 9 drop doses now, I actually like the taste. I do just the citric acid and water. I am liking the tart taste of the citric acid. I did try vinegar with my very first dose, but that was just too disgusting. I’m wondering if maybe it will start to taste bad to me when I get to where maybe I don’t need the MMS anymore. Jury is still out on that one.
From reading some of SilverFox’s experiments, I’ve decided on average 4 oz. water for up to 5 drops MMS. So maybe that is why I can handle the taste. Tomorrow I will increase to 10 drops 2x with 8 oz. water, unless my stools start to soften. I’m taking the increasing somewhat cautiously. If I start to notice a little too much gurgling or any minor stomach acidity, I hold at that dose until things settle. If all is fine, then I figure it’s OK to increase the dose. So hopefully by Tuesday I will be at 11 drops 2x with 12 oz. water. I think the citric acid for me masks the chlorine smell/taste enough that I can drink it down. I do make sure to try not to smell the drink as I swallow it.
MMS use linked to improved sleep for someone with sleep apnea
…Just started taking the MMS two days ago and can feel the difference. I have core sleep apnea and I slept through the night and felt refreshed this morning for the first time in months. Remarkable!…

MMS reduces swelling, pain, and improves sleep and energy in users
MMS has been a godsend for my husband and I, things that we thought we had to live with are disappearing. I guess we just got used to feeling mediocre, and never thought we could feel good, or even great. MMS has forever changed our lives, and has a permanent place in our family.
Here are some of the things that MMS has helped us with, I will start with his list first. The swelling in his legs is gone, the knee pain is diminishing, the tendonitis in his elbow is gone, his sinuses (although not great) are better than they ever have been, his restless leg syndrome is gone, his snoring is nearly gone, and he is sleeping through the night (for the firs time in years), he wakes feeling good, his energy level is up and he says he feels great. My list isn’t quite as impressive, but still worthy of mention. I have lost 14 lbs probably due to the fact that my junk food cravings are gone, bronchitis cleared up in just a few days, urinary tract infection was gone in a couple days, sinus infection was gone within a week, I sleep through the night, I wake up feeling great, all wheezing in my chest stopped (I am a smoker), my headaches are gone, I haven’t taken an OTC pain killer in 2 months, and my shoulder/Neck pain was gone in about a day (I have had that for 2 years).
I know people are skeptical, or scared like I was, but you really don’t know how good you can feel if you don’t take steps to feel better. We have only been taking the supplement for 2 months, and we already notice many positive changes. I now have my mother taking it, and she is on day two. I will try to keep you posted on her progress as well, her husband will begin the regimen in a week or two, and hopefully I will have more positive things to report. You can also read my blog and get all the details http://liegeman.wordpress.com/
Cough and congestion persist after supplement use, with improved energy and
…I’ve started taking it last friday, seemed to immediately cure me from my flue although eversince I’ve still been coughing rather badly and have a congested feeling in my chest and nose (could that be detoxing?).
Am up to 10 drops now, today had some stomachpains and diarehea but nothing too bad. Have quite a bit more energy and seem to be sleeping better too (and I’m quite the insomniac!!)…
