User reports improved sleep, eye comfort, and energy after prolonged use of
Just discovered this site this afternoon. Was not surprised to read all the sceptics’ comments…:) Thought I’d contribute some anecdotal evidence (but only for those who are open to it! Sceptics need not read any further…)
My father-in-law was recommended this product by his naturpath. He was diagnosed with Sjogren’s disease about a year ago and had all the debilitating symptoms: dry eyes (needed drops every few hours), dry mouth (needed to drink water with meals/food), and much lower energy level. Since taking MMS for the last month and a half, he has had an amazing recovery: no longer needs eye drops at all, sleeps like a baby at night, and has no dry mouth at all. As well, he has resumed his passion, tennis (at 71 years of age!)
He is taking approximately 20 drops a day, but started out slowly with only 2-4 drops a day. He did experience some nausea at the onset, but as toxins left his system, those symptoms also left and he feels better than he has in years.
My husband and I have been taking it as well for the last few weeks, and again, there have been some great developments – my husband’s chronic eye problems (redness, itchiness) have all but disappeared, and he is sleeping more restfully. He, also, experienced some mild nausea and diahrea at the onset.
Read the literature, both Books 1 and 2, then try it for yourselves. Chances are, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

…An interesting thing to add, is that I was very healthy before I started taking the drops, no issues to address, and have done a herbal detox, twice a year, for the last two years. My mother died of colon cancer, so my health awareness is certainly there. Anyhow, other than grimacing at the taste when I got up to the 15 drop dose, I have noticed no difference in anything, from BM’s to tiredness, etc. My husband’s eyes don’t bother him at all anymore, and he’s still sleeping very well.
The protocol is to initially stay at 15 drops, twice a day, for 2 weeks (if you are feeling well), then back down to 4 or 6 drops a day as a maintenance. I will stay with “the program” to see if any subtle changes are yet to occur — they say that can happen later…

I have not undergone any “side effects” at all, per se, but aside from his eyes clearing up and sleeping better, my husband has noticed other subtle improvements: hardly any plaque buildup on his teeth overnight (sometimes a problem), more regular bowel movements, and clearing up of his sinuses.

We are both still sleeping very well, let you know if there are any other changes. My husband did have mild diahrrea for 2-3 weeks when he hit the 15 drop level, but that has finally ended, with no difference at all in his BM’s.

…recent results/observations: I have not really seen any changes in my health, other than my “monthly” seemed to be a little easier (I am pre-menopausal and am curious to see how MMS will help with that end…). My husband has noticed that when he takes his 15 drops after playing pickup hockey, he does get nauseous for 10-15 minutes, but then it passes. He usually takes 15 drops after supper, and another 15 about 5 hours later. This is the second week he has noticed that reaction and is wondering if his increased metabolism is somehow increasing the efficacy of the MMS in his system. I’m going to try it after a workout, to see if I get a similar reaction.
{10/20/07: In response to a question by another poster as to why she was taking MMS}
The first person in our family to start with MMS was my father-in-law. He had been diagnosed with Sjogren’s disease (auto-immune disorder) and suffered from dry mouth, eyes, tiredness, plus he knew he was carrying around viruses in his sinuses, etc. When he had such amazing results, my husband decided to try it because he had been sleeping restlessly and often had red, irritated eyes – some sort of bug going around. His sleep improved instantly and his eyes have cleared up completely. I took it because I have always been proactive with my health since I lost my mom to colon cancer, and had read that many subtle improvements (ie. blood pressure) could come about. I truly believe that it does no harm to healthy people and will continue to take a 6 drop dose a few times a week to clear up any “background” problems. Exercising when you’re already in good shape is the same mindset – you don’t wait to start dealing with symptoms and problems as they appear, you look after yourself every day 🙂
A friend of ours has just started taking MMS – he has had a terrible cold for over a month and suffers from allergies year-round. He got up to 4 drops of MMS, and had a reaction similar to “the Exorcist”, with purging at both ends…He backed off and will wait a few days to start again. I will follow and chart his progress, especially with his allergies.
{10/20/07: Continued responses to questions}
My father-in-law was diagnosed several months after he started noticing typical symptoms, so it was about a year and a half after the onset that he started to try MMS.
His symptoms were dry mouth (so bad that he could not eat anything without “washing” it down with water), his eyes were very “dry” (he had to use artificial tears 6-10 times a day, his taste glands didn’t work the way they used to. We teased him about being German and giving up beer, but he just couldn’t stomach it any more. His sleep has always been restless, since the twenty-odd years I have known him.
He was reluctant, at first, to get too excited about the results he was seeing, in case they were short-lived, but after 2 months, he says he feels 80% better. He does not have to use any eye drops, he sleeps like a baby, and I am very happy to say, he drinks beer with the rest of us again! When he went to see the doctor who originally diagnosed him with his Sjogren’s a few weeks ago, he was asked how he felt. He replied 60% better than before. The doctor asked, “Why?” He said that he was “trying out something on his own”. He wasn’t sure how news of the MMS would be received. The doctor never even questioned him, or asked what he did to achieve such a great turnaround. I mean, she just shrugged it off. Unbelievable!!!
He has decades of issues that he is still working on (sinus infections and candida over the years), and is prepared to continue with the MMS long-term, until he can take the 15 drop dose twice a day, without any woozy feelings. He realizes things that took years to take hold of his system will not disappear overnight.
As for suggesting MMS to your Sjogren’s friends, I would say encourage them to give it a try. Detractors of the product (such a the previous posts) have obviously not done their research, or even read the chemical explanation of how this product works. I wonder how many people will not give it a chance because of lack of understanding, but would rather play Russian roulette with prescribed medication…which only works at reducing symptoms, and does not, for the most part, work at eliminating the problems. This product does not boast of curing anything. Rather, it’s two-pronged approach is to i) strengthen your immune system and ii)eliminate any pathogens in your body, WHILE LEAVING HEALTHY CELLS ALONE. The chemical reaction of the acetic acid and sodium chlorite is complete within 4 hours, and if it hasn’t interacted with any “bad” cells in your systems, converts to a miniscule amount of table salt. Hopefully, those who could really benefit from this “miracle” mineral will give it a try. Thousands of people have walked away from sickbeds in Africa, and many more in other countries. Doctors are actually expressing an interest in it – how can they ignore it?
I just want to stress again, that this IS NOT BLEACH!! It is not chlorine. The chemical reaction of Sodium Chlorite and the acetic acid (or citric acid, which is what we use) produces Chlorine Dioxide, and at a drastically smaller fraction than what is used for cleaning and disinfecting. The MMS solution has a 28% dilution of sodium chlorite, and the proportion of drops to acid have been calculated to give a precise, predictable reaction rate, which, as I said earlier, is complete within 4 hours of it’s start. This is why you have to count your drops and mix it properly…I have been taking it for over a month, at the “full dose” rate, and have not had any side effects, either from pathogens leaving my system, or from any effects of the MMS either.
