As many of you know, I have been recently battling with tooth problems and I also am a big believer in alternative remedies and therapies. Bearing all that in mind, I was fascinated to hear about Jim Humble's discovery of MMS, which stands for Miracle Mineral Supplement.

It is actually sodium chlorite in solution, which in the presence of various acids such as acetic (vinegar) converts to chlorine dioxide, which is a widely used germicide and water purifier. Jim's discovery, however, is that if it is taken internally in the right dose it is claimed to cure just about any disease you can think of. On a website about it it calls MMS "The answer to AIDS, hepatitis A,B and C, malaria, herpes, TB, most cancer and many more of mankind's worse diseases".

It is further claimed that MMS kills bacteria, viruses, protozoans, yeasts, fungi, and other parasites.

A friend of mine told me there was video of a Project Camelot interview with Jim Humble talking about it and after watching it I felt I needed to get some as soon as possible.

I have done so and made a start at taking it for about a week after a bottle was sent very promptly from an approved supplier in America. Full directions are included and there is also a book available - Breakthrough, the Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century - which I intend getting.

Although I was very keen to give it a go I have since given up because I was getting diarrhoea and feeling sick and tired, and this was no good at present when I am up early to go to work in a school. These side effects are pointed out in the literature about it and you are advised to cut down the dosage and work up again. I was OK until I got to 14 drops. The directions I have says you must get to 15 drops and then take at this dose three times a day for a week before reducing the amount. This I have not done because I was feeling ill on 14 drops.

I had a very heavy cold or flu when I started taking it and hoped it would knock it out in days. It has done so but took nearly a week to do so and thus I cannot say for sure whether it worked or not. Now I am not taking it I have got bad toothache in a loose tooth but I put that down to eating cake in school and having had the cold weakening my immune system.

I would like to think that MMS does work as claimed but in my own case I am not in a position to say because I have temporarily abandoned the treatment due to my current work priorities. I am sure if I was able to stay home I would be able to increase the dosage and stay on the programme advised. I am also sure that if I had cancer, AIDS, malaria or any of the other serious diseases I would want to persevere.

Jim's site and the literature about MMS easily justify it being called a "miracle." If this does all it is said to then this information could save a lot of suffering and lives.

I am posting links and the video here so you can make up your own minds about MMS. Please read the Cancer-Free newsletter because there is a caution in there about how strong this stuff is and how it needs to be used on a slow gradient.
