Long-Term MMS: Good Or Bad For Your Health?

If you want to know what the long-term effects of MMS are when you use it consistently, read on. Oftentimes, the supplement may give you nausea, but you may be surprised to know that it may also produce inflammation. When done over the short term, inflammation can be beneficial, in that it can increase blood flow to tissues and give them the nutritional support they need to heal. However, if your immune system remains on “high alert,” where you are experiencing inflammation beyond just its necessary function of removing microbes and diseased tissue, inflammatory response can become detrimental to you. In fact, inflammation can damage your body if it stays in place over the long term, and is thought to be at least partially the cause behind many chronic diseases today.

One of the reasons chlorine dioxide works so effectively in killing microbes is that this compound is a powerful oxidizer. Substances that oxidize within the body generally stimulate a strong immune response, and that is why inflammation is often apparent and thus necessary within times of healing. Inflammation is the body’s way of expediting the healing process by shuttling additional nutritional support to the area in need, and increases the subsequent necessity of removing metabolic remains. As unpleasant in the short term as this may be, in the bigger picture short term inflammation is absolutely necessary. The conventional model of treating disease and pathologies within the body is almost diametrically opposed to this, and that is to suppress the inflammation response – many modern diseases driven by inflammation are treated with anti inflammatory type medication given to suppress this very mechanism that is nature’s way of dealing with disease.

Chronic diseases across the board tend to be more common as we advance in age. Any chronic pathology will tend to strip the body of its anti oxidant supplies, and prolonged MMS use will usually exasperate this even further. So as you can probably guess, it is important to supplement with additional anti oxidant support whilst consuming MMS. The ingestion of these additional anti oxidants should be taken apart from MMS, as if they are consumed too close together, then neutralization will take place. For example, if you use MMS before breakfast and just before bedtime – then antioxidants should be taken towards the middle of the day.

Antioxidants can be found in vitamin supplementation like vitamins C, E, and B complex vitamins. Other antioxidant supplements include: coenzyme Q10 and grape seed extract; other foods, too, are rich sources of antioxidants, and can be found in polyunsaturated oils, green tea, fresh fruits, berries, and the spice turmeric. Again, even antioxidants in foods should be taken separately from MMS, which is why it’s a good idea to take MMS both on an empty stomach just on arising, and just before bed several hours after you have eaten.

As ascorbic acid is such a powerful supplement for the protection of oxidant sensitive structures such as the brain, eyes and heart. When consuming vitamin C, make sure to consume it at least 1 – 2 hours either side of the MMS protocol, as upon contact with the chlorine dioxide molecule, neutralization will take effect.

If, for some reason, you’ve overdosed on sodium chlorite (or someone you’re around does), you can mix a lot of clean potable water with ascorbic acid and then consume it over a period of two hours. This is the most effective way to neutralize chlorine dioxide. If you need further relief, you can vomit to expel what is left within the stomach after you’ve ingested the vitamin C.

As you can see, too much of anything is not a good thing, and this can be said also of the miracle mineral supplement. So take heed, and remember that health is a multifaceted consideration, but with diligence and time, the body always strives for equilibrium, thus allowing health to return.
