Sodium chlorite is presently being promoted as a miracle mineral supplement

or MMS with superior antimicrobial activity. You can appreciate its power

from a statement by the discoverer of this remedy that all 75,000 individuals

with malaria that have been treated were cured within a day, with 98% being

cured within 4 hours (1).This obviously has great ramifications not only for

self-healing but also for the drug industry and medicine. In the following I

want to comment on these issues.

Conventional Use of Sodium Chlorite

Acidified sodium chlorite is being used in many countries, including

Australia and the USA, as an antimicrobial treatment in the food industry, for

water

purification, and for sterilizing hospital and clinic rooms and equipment.

In hospitals it has been used as a disinfectant for a hundred years and in the

US meat industry for about 50 years. Health-conscious countries and

municipalities are increasingly replacing the health-damaging chlorine for the

harmless chlorine dioxide in treating public water supplies (2).

In solution sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is very alkaline and stable but when

acidified it forms the gas chlorine dioxide (ClO2) which smells the same as

chlorine and probably is the strongest all-round antimicrobial and parasite

remedy. While it destroys all anaerobic microbes and parasites, it does not

damage the beneficial lactobacteria of out intestinal flora. The only residue

left

in water, food, or in the body after treatment with MMS is a small amount of

table salt or sodium chloride (NaCl).

In 2003 the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code was changed to permit

the use of sodium chlorite acidified with citric acid or other food acids for

antimicrobial surface treatment of meat, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetables

(3). The time between mixing and application is less than 5 minutes, and

chlorine dioxide levels do not exceed 3 ppm. The safety assessment report

concluded that if properly used no residues would be detected in the raw foods

following treatment and prior to sale, and therefore there would be no

toxicological concerns.

In solid form sodium chlorite is unstable and commonly mixed with about 20%

sodium chloride. Commercially it is produced and shipped in Australia as a

31% solution in water. For end users in the food and agricultural industries it

is available as a 5% solution called Vibrex. In the US and the UK it is also

available as tablets that release chlorine dioxide (e.g. releasing 4 ppm

per1 liter or per 30 liter of water). In Germany and Italy chlorine dioxide is

the main treatment chemical for public water supplies.

Curiously, stabilized sodium chlorite that does not generate chlorine

dioxide has been patented for intravenous use in the treatment of autoimmune

diseases, hepatitis and lymph cancers. It supposedly prevents or reduces

antigen

activity and autoimmune responses (4).

The Discovery of MMS, the Miracle Mineral Supplement

Jim Humble, a chemist and metallurgist accidentally discovered the MMS by

using a whole bottle of Stabilized Electrolytes of Oxygen (S.E.O.) to

immediately cure a companion of malaria during a jungle expedition. S.E.O.

contains

about 3 % sodium chlorite.

Humble gradually realized that S.E.O. is too weak and that it does not work

by releasing oxygen but rather that it must be acidified to release chlorine

dioxide as the active ingredient. This is also how it has been used as a

hospital disinfectant. The problem was to find a safe dose and procedure that

allowed this most effective antimicrobial to be used for people. Humble ended up

using a nominally 28% solution which, because of a nearly 20% sodium

chloride content, actually contains only 22.4% sodium chlorite. Because of its

miraculous effect in supporting the immune system against invading microbes and

parasites Humble called his sodium chlorite the Miracle Mineral Supplement.

However, I prefer to call it Miracle Mineral Solution, as supplements require

the approval of health authorities, while a solution for treating water does

not need to be registered.

Using this at a maximum dose of up to 3 x 15 drops he writes: â€MMS is

producing some of the quickest results that I have seen with people's health,

including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, shingles, warts going hard and dropping

off, and many more.†Also AIDS patients in debilitated conditions went back

to

work without any further signs of disease (1).

Basically all diseases associated with microbes and immune reactions respond

very well, and that includes not only infections and autoimmune diseases but

most of our diseases. Chlorine dioxide was used to kill Anthrax during the

2001 Anthrax attack. Even most diseases that are not known to be associated

with microbes and the immune system reportedly have improved (1).

As an example of the unexpected results of using MMS, Humble relates the

following incident: a teenage girl, overweight with depression and failure to

develop breasts, was given MMS. The next day her breasts started to grow. After

another dose 4 days later she had the first period after 6-months, her

breasts were fully developed, her depression lifted, and she started losing

weight

(1). My interpretation of this is that all her problems were caused by

Candida.

Because of its strong oxidizing ability, chlorine dioxide seems to

inactivate many poisons, may help with toothache, and makes stored heavy metals

soluble so that they can more easily be expelled. Another advantage of chlorine

dioxide as compared to chlorine is that it does not react with organic matter,

such as food, body cells or even our “good†intestinal bacteria, but is

specific in destroying pathogenic microbes. However, it does react with vitamin

C

and possibly other reactive antioxidants.

If this treatment option would become widely known and used by the general

population that would be devastating for the medical-pharmaceutical complex.

The FDA has a long history of jailing and otherwise neutralizing inventors of

effective natural remedies and therapies that harm the drug industry, and

Humble, as an American, tries to protect himself by remaining in hiding in

Africa or Central America.

Usage Instructions

It should be stressed that MMS is not used to treat people but rather to

purify water. We can then drink the purified water and receive a boost to our

immune system as a consequence. The common recommendation is to start with 1 or

2 drops of MMS and gradually increase up to 15 drops three times a day. Mix

the MMS with an acid activator. Most recommended is a 10% solution of citric

acid in water which you may make yourself by dissolving 1 spoonful of citric

acid crystals in 9 parts of water. Citric acid tends to be available from

supermarkets as an ingredient for baking. Acid activation releases chlorine

dioxide.

Lemon juice, lime juice or vinegar have been used as activator before it was

found that 10% citric acid is much more effective. Cider vinegar may

aggravate fungal problems but white vinegar is suitable. The usual

recommendation is

to add 5 times more acid than MMS. Drops from a standard glass eye dropper

should be multiplied by 1.5 to equal the number of drops from the standard MMS

bottle. However, different types of eye droppers, pipettes and bottle tops

have different drop sizes, and you may standardize your dropper by counting

how many drops from the MMS bottle and how many from your eye dropper are ne

eded to fill a teaspoon or another suitable measure. One millilitre or ml of

MMS

contains 17 standard drops. A level teaspoon of MMS, lemon juice or 10%

citric acid solution has about 80 drops. So a quarter teaspoon has about 20

drops.

 

Therefore, for easier use the drops of the acid do not need to be counted,

provided you make sure that you take more rather than less acid. When taking

15 drops of MMS you can mix it with a full teaspoon of acid, when taking 6 or

7 drops of MMS mix with half a teaspoon of acid, and generally take more or

less acid according to the amount of MMS. Furthermore, 10% citric acid is

about 5 times stronger than the other acids. Therefore to achieve the same

results you may use more of the other acids compared to citric acid. The

stronger

the acid, the more chlorine dioxide is released within a short period.

Therefore the chlorine dioxide smell is much stronger after acidifying with 10%

citric acid, and equally the destructive effect on microbes and parasites is

much

higher. Therefore, difficult conditions, such as Lyme disease (caused by a

virus transmitted by ticks) responded to 15 drops of MMS acidified with 10%

citric acid but not if the other acids had been used.

Generally you do not need to be too concerned with the mentioned numbers and

sizes of drops. The general idea is to keep slowly increasing the amount of

MMS until you have overcome your immune-related problem.

Three minutes after adding the acid dilute with half a glass of water and

additional herb tea, or juice without added vitamin C, e.g. apple or grape

juice but not orange juice. Also cinnamon, on its own or with some honey

stirred

into the water, helps to disguise any unpleasant taste of the solution. The

initial strong smell is now reduced as the chlorine dioxide remains dissolved

in water rather than escaping into the air. Do not take any antioxidant

supplements close to MMS. If it tastes too acid for you, then neutralize the

liquid with sodium bicarbonate shortly before drinking.

Drink the diluted MMS all at once or possibly spaced out in sips over an

hour or two to minimize nausea. It acts best on an empty stomach but that also

easily causes nausea. If that happens temporarily reduce the dose or have some

food in the stomach. Alternatively you may take a dose, say 6 drops, and

another 6 drops an hour later. Such a double dose seems to be more effective

than a single dose two or three times during the day. The highest double dose

would be with two times 15 drops, but few will be able to take this without

vomiting.

It may be best to take MMS just before going to bed. MMS works very fast,

and people often become sleepy after taking a dose of MMS. Also, it is easier

to cope with nausea if you can fall asleep. If you take MMS twice a day, take

one of the doses in the evening before going to bed. However, some

individuals experience the opposite effect and have difficulty falling asleep

after

taking MMS.

Humble believes it is safe to give children MMS as needed for infections.

The maximum dose for children, underweight or overweight individuals, is stated

as 3 drops per 11.4 kg or 25 pounds of body weight. I would instead use 2-3

drops per 12 kg as a maximum dose.

For most conditions Humble regards the intensive MMS treatment as completed

after taking 15 drops two or three times daily for one week. If you cannot

reach this level then just remain somewhat longer at the highest dose that you

can use. Following this Humble recommends a maintenance intake for older

individuals of 6 drops daily and for younger individuals of 6 drops twice

weekly.

My own preference is for a relatively high intake for several weeks twice a

year or when indicated by a developing infection, and not using it for the

rest of the time. However, this also depends on body conditions. For instance

if someone has root canal fillings, bio-films on surgical implants or other

microbe factories that cannot be immediately sanitised, then I would recommend

several drops of MMS daily until the condition is rectified. Also if a

sufficiently high dose cannot be reached to cleanse the body of harmful

microbes

and spores of microbes, then it may be preferable to remain for longer periods

on a sufficiently low dose that does not cause discomfort.

Different Conditions

With serious acute infections or poisonings, such as with malaria Humble

recommends giving immediately 15 drops followed an hour later by another 15

drops. While most conditions tend to improve with a medium-dose taken over a

long

period, some parasitic and viral conditions seem to require at least one

high double dose to get results. It seems that with life-threatening acute

conditions a high double dose can be more easily handled than with chronic

conditions.

For chronic or long-standing conditions always increase the number of drops

very slowly over a period of weeks. it is best to increase by 1 drop each

day until you feel some nausea. The next day drop back by 2 drops and stay at

this level for several days until increasing again by 1 drop a day. In this

way you gradually work your way higher, reducing and then increasing again to

keep nausea under control. You may reduce problems by dividing the daily dose

into a morning and a bedtime portion, but after some time always try to edge

higher until you start feeling the nausea. If you continue to encounter

nausea whenever you raise the dose then just remain for a long time on a level

that does not cause problems. Eventually nausea with vomiting or diarrhea may

catch up with you anyway but it is better if that is at a high rather than a

low level of MMS.

With an acute infection you may start with 3 or 4 drops and increase quite

rapidly, even if this means nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. With severe

parasite problems, such as malaria attack, or if one had taken a poison, or

has

food poisoning, or with snake bites, a high double dose of MMS will often help.

For abscessed teeth, infected gums, and pyorrhea use 6 drops of acidified

and diluted MMS and rinse for several minutes, for a sore throat gargle

frequently. Finally you can add more water, tea or juice and drink it;

experiment to

find the dose that works for you.

With sinus and lung infections or lung cancer you may mix several drops with

acid and several times sniff up the chlorine dioxide, first through one

nostril and then through the other. However, this can be very irritating to the

mucous membranes. Therefore increase duration and quantity only gradually and

with careful self-observation.

For inflammatory and infective skin conditions you may bathe or wash the

affected area with suitably diluted acidified MMS. I have been told of a case

where psoriasis went away after a few weeks of topical treatment. I would also

use it internally as well as externally for scleroderma, leukoderma/vitiligo

and alopecia or autoimmune-related baldness.

For burns Humble advises to squirt the MMS full strength straight out of the

bottle all over the burn. Do not use the acid in this case. Very lightly

with the tips of the fingers spread it completely over the burn. Let is remain

there for only 30 seconds to a minute. The acidic chemical in the burn is

neutralized by the alkaline solution of the MMS. The pain stops immediately,

within seconds. Wash the MMS off with water. You absolutely must wash it off or

the burn will become worse. If you do this correctly, the burn will heal in

about ¼ the usual time for a similar untreated burn. For sunburns he advises

leaving the MMS on for 15 to 30 seconds and then rinse off with water.

To reduce nausea, but also with bowel cancer or inflammatory bowel

conditions you my try using it activated in half a liter of water as a

retention

enema. Use another enema beforehand to clean the bowels, or use a laxative to

clean out. With cancer of the uterus/cervix/ovaries you may also try inserting

the activated solution in a non-irritating concentration.

Side Effects and Problems

Individuals may find it difficult to continue with the MMS program because

of frequent nausea. This is especially a problem with advanced cancer and

other long-term conditions. Therefore I generally recommend a program of

intestinal sanitation and antimicrobial therapy with milder agents before

starting

MMS therapy. This will remove most of the toxic load with less discomfort than

by starting immediately with MMS. As part of this preliminary program I

recommend a 3-week course of Lugol’s solution or a less concentrated form of

aqueous iodine, and finally a course of water that has been purified with MMS.

Commonly nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea will occur sooner or later and are

beneficial for cleaning out. Sometimes also other reactions, such as

inflammations may temporarily occur. To stop nausea you may take 1000 mg or

more of

vitamin C, but this also stops the antimicrobial activity. Other methods that

may help against nausea are vitamin B6, ginger, pressing 2-3 cm below the

wrist in the middle of the underarm, and also reflexology: pressing the foot

reflex for the stomach - just below the joint of the big toes, press against a

pointed stone/rock, step or corner of some furniture.

Furthermore, I found that much of the nausea can be relieved by cleaning out

the bowels before taking the drops or immediately when nausea starts. This

may be done with an enema or colonic, or by taking a suitable laxative before

the nausea starts. In addition with bowel cancer or inflammatory bowel

conditions you may try using activated MMS in half a liter of water as a

retention

enema. Use another enema beforehand to clean the bowels, or use a laxative to

clean out. With cancer of the uterus/cervix/ovaries you may also try

inserting the activated solution in a non-irritating concentration.

In the case of cardiovascular diseases and arteriosclerosis it has been

suggested that with MMS therapy cholesterol deposits may be removed too fast

and

lead to a weakening of the affected blood vessels. To avoid or minimize

problems Dr Matthias Rath recommends taking high amounts of vitamin C, up to 10

g

daily in divided doses, for several weeks before starting MMS therapy. This is

to strengthen the blood vessels and make them more elastic. Some other

nutrients to improve elasticity are lemon juice, green juices, copper

salicylate,

magnesium chloride, MSM, and N-Acetylglucosamine. In the case of cancer I

also recommend using additional therapies as recommended by natural therapists,

for example see the 8-part program in

_www.health-science-spirit.com/diseases.html_

(http://www.health-science-spirit.com/diseases.html) .

Oxidants versus Antioxidants

Besides nausea also inflammations may arise as a side effect of MMS therapy.

To understand this effect we need to have a look at the function of

inflammation and the role of oxidants and antioxidants in this process.

Inflammations

increase blood and nutrient supply to an area and are essential for the

immune system to work and for healing of damaged organs and tissue to occur. If

the immune system is not strong enough to eliminate invading microbes and

diseased body cells, originally healing immune inflammations become destructive

chronic inflammations, and this is a symptom of our present epidemic of

chronic diseases.

Oxidants support the immune system by killing microbes outright and by

giving the immune system more firepower. This results in increased inflammation

when using strong oxidants such as chlorine dioxide. Therefore as during any

real health improvement various healing reactions, including temporary

inflammations, may develop during MMS treatment. This is beneficial for healing

in

the long-term even if uncomfortable in the short-term. For a more detailed exp

lanation of this process called a healing crisis or healing reaction see

_www.health-science-spirit.com/healingcrisis.html_

(http://www.health-science-spirit.com/healingcrisis.html) .

The reverse of this process, the suppression of inflammation, can be seen in

the conventional medical approach of using anti-inflammatory steroids in the

treatment of autoimmune diseases. It is my experience that such diseases may

be overcome within weeks or months using natural approaches, but when

steroidal drugs are used at the same time, it is much more difficult to make

headway. In this case any increased immune activity that results in increased

inflammation is blocked by steroidal drugs. However, it is not advisable to

greatly reduce any anti-inflammatory drugs until the intestines and infected

teeth

have been sanitized, and until after antimicrobial therapy.

Antioxidants have the opposite role to oxidants. They protect our body cells

and functions from being oxidized. Oxidation needs to take place only in

well established and protected pathways to generate energy or to eliminate

invaders and harmful agents. If we step up the intake of oxidants, we also need

to

increase the intake of antioxidants otherwise we may get unnecessary

inflammations due to irritation of tissues and other degenerative changes. An

example of this is deteriorating eyesight that may occur when using high doses

of

MMS for more than a few days.

Antioxidant deficiency is common with chronic diseases and advancing age.

High intake or prolonged use of MMS will make this situation worse. Therefore

it is important to increase antioxidant intake when using MMS. However,

oxidants and antioxidants should be separated during the day or they may

neutralize

each other. For instance you may be using MMS before breakfast and at

bedtime and antioxidants from mid-morning to the evening meal.

This does not only apply to antioxidants in supplement form, such as vitamin

C and E, B-complex, coenzyme Q10 or grapeseed extract, but also to food high

in antioxidants, such as purple berries and juices, fresh fruit,

polyunsaturated oils, turmeric, black or green tea, cocoa and others. Because

chlorine

dioxide reacts especially well with vitamin C, it is advisable to take 1 gram

or more when on a high dose of MMS for more than a few days to protect

oxidation-sensitive structures, such as heart, brain and eyes.

Overdose of sodium chlorite: Anyone who has consumed more than ½ teaspoon of

the miracle mineral solution should immediately begin drinking water, as

much as possible. It is best to add ½ teaspoon each of bicarbonate of soda and

sodium ascorbate to each glass of water or whichever is available. After

drinking plenty of water you may also try to induce vomiting.

Before using MMS, especially in case of serious health problems, you may

also look for the latest updates and technical instructions (1). For
