MMS really does sound like a dangerous allopathic drug, similar to antibiotics or chemotherapy. Why is it that we don’t see many efforts to remove this poison from the market when in recent times there has been a push to remove healthy vitamins and antioxidants by agencies like the FDA and Codex? MMS is more of a killer than antibiotics and has the potential to kill all kinds of microbes including viruses. Such a killer weapon has other consequences for your body, and killer therapies should never be the first course of action when dealing with disease. They should never be an option when we are able to take control of our health through diet and appropriate, real alternative health therapies. **
WELL, I AGREE WITH HER ABOUT HEALTH THERAPIES, BUT OF THE OTHER THINGS SHE SAYS, ARE AGAIN, UNSUBSTANCIATED AND OPINION.
Let us review some safety data sheets of MMS ingredients: Chlorine dioxide is a strong oxidant, and as such it reacts violently with combustible materials, mercury, ammonia, sulphur and many organic compounds [3]. Sodium chlorite is a strong irritant of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; a strong oxidizer that promotes combustion; concentrated solutions may be corrosive to the skin and eyes; mild hemolytic anemia and increased methemoglobin in males was observed in animal feeding studies [4]. Acute health effects of chlorine dioxide: ingestion is not a normal route of exposure (except thanks to MMS!), harmful if swallowed, can cause irritation to mouth, esophagus, stomach, and mucous membranes (hence, the diarrhea, nausea and vomiting!). Eye contact: contact causes redness, irritation, pain, blurred vision, tearing, corneal injury and burns. Inhalation: harmful if inhaled, coughing, headaches, labored breathing, nausea, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema. Chronic health effects: may have effects on lungs, resulting in chronic bronchitis and permanent lung damage [5]. In short, MMS should NEVER be a health treatment, alternative or otherwise!
THERE SHE GOES AGAIN. ALL THESE STUDIES WERE WITH CHLORINE DIOXIDE THAT WAS HUNDREDS OF TIMES STRONGER THAN THAT USED IN MMS. *CONCSIDER THAT MMS IS NEVER USED EVEN AS STRONG AS SPRINKLING TABLE SALT ON YOU FOOD. LOW LEVER CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS SO EFFECTIVE THAT LAST MONTH A CASE OF VERY BAD BRONCHITIS WAS OVERCOME WHILE THE PERSON EFFECTED CONTINUED TO SMOKE CIGARETTES.
Now here is where things get even more interesting. Enter MMS2, which works more subtly and therefore more dangerously than its predecessor. MMS2 is basically calcium hypochlorite, which is a chemical compound widely used for water treatment and as a bleaching and disinfecting agent (bleaching powder). This one is indeed a mineral,
(YES BUT NO MORE OF A MINERAL THAN MMS1)
but a mineral that reacts to produce hypochlorous acid when ingested. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is a combination of hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine, is what some of our white blood cells produce in order to kill bacteria through the well-known process called oxidation. HOCl is a powerful oxidant indeed, and as I mentioned before, it is the perfect example of a hazardous reactive oxygen species (ROS). Just as with MMS1, pathogens can’t develop a resistance to MMS2 and this is related to the powerful free radicals that it liberates. Sound good? Well, not really. MMS2 is meant to create high concentrations of this dangerous oxidative hypochlorous acid in our bodies in order to kill ‘powerful and incurable’ diseases, or so it is claimed. Unfortunately, the amount of HOCl that our body is already capable of producing on its own is dangerous enough. In fact, some of our white blood cells have toxic and damaging effects on our DNA through the formation of hypochlorous acid [6, 7]. What is more, antioxidants are being studied and used successfully to block hypochlorous acid from creating DNA damage [7, 8, 9, 10]. Yes, DNA damage! This is dangerous to the extreme! *
AGAIN, I HOPE YOU RECOGNIZE OPINIONS. THESE ARE GABRIELA’S OPINIONS. *DO YOU SEE ANY REFERENCES TO HER DATA. SHE MAKES IT SOUND LIKE DATA, BUT THERE IS NO SUCH PROOF ON THE INTERNET.
Another way in which MMS2 can cause damage is through activation of ‘evil’ transcription factors. Free radicals such as hypochlorous acid and other toxins may cause transcription factors to initiate a series of genetic reactions that result in cancer. Transcription factors are proteins that facilitate gene expression – that is, they cause genetic material to do something. A particular transcription factor, NF kappa B, is influenced by free radicals or toxins which usually activate it. Once activated, this transcription factor goes into the nucleus of our cells where our DNA resides and may activate genes that might change a potentially malignant cell into an absolutely malignant cell [8]. Hypochlorous acid (MMS2) activates this infamous NF-kappa B transcription factor, especially in the absence of antioxidants like taurine [11,12]. NF-kappa B has also a crucial role in inflammation, and thus ultimately it induces illness. That MMS2 is promoted as a cure for cancer and many other illnesses is just plain baffling.
THIS IS BAFFLING TO GABRIELA, BUT JUST HAPPENS WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF LETTERS FROM PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WHAT SHE SUGGESTS, CURED. I YOU WILL NOTE IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHE USES THE WORDS MAY CAUSE, AND MAY ACTIVATE GENES. I AM SURE YOU RECOGNIZE THAT MAYBE’S AND MIGHT’S ARE OPINIONS.
But that’s not all, folks. It gets worse! In fact, hypochlorous acid (MMS2) has the power to chlorinate the building blocks of DNA, breaking the DNA double helix apart and thus interfering with its vital biological functions [13]. By the way, the new airport security scanners can break apart our DNA’s double helix as well [14]. Do we see a pattern here? Some claim that hypochlorous acid is hazardous only to intrusive germs, but there are actually studies that have determined that the properties of hypochlorous acid that make it such a potent bug killer agent can damage our bodies by the same mechanism used to destroy the invading pathogenic bugs [15]. One such study could not have a more appropriate name: “Living with a killer: the effects of hypochlorous acid on mammalian cells [15]. *
AGAIN, MAYBE AND MAYBE NOT.
It has been well documented that there are a variety of disorders tied to the deleterious effects of hypochlorous acid in our bodies including diabetes, obesity, depression, hypertension, gout, kidney failure, and autism, among other conditions [12]. This makes sense in view of our brief review of oxidation: wherever there is oxidative damage, there is disease. What is more, our brains have a high oxygen demand, and thus are particularly sensitive to oxidative damage. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that our mind is often the canary in the coal mine. We often notice our body’s first inflammatory effects through brain fog, memory problems, and insomnia. Hypochlorous acid has the potential to be extremely neurotoxic to our brains, where it literally oxidizes certain lipids and proteins, preventing them from performing their functions and contributing to neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis [16]. *
SORRY, BUT THIS IS ALL OPINION AND NO COLLABORATING EVIDENCE IS AVAILABLE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. SO I GET TO GIVE MY OPINION ONCE IN A WHILE WHERE OPINION SEEMS TO BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.
In addition, hypochlorous acid can be very dangerous in certain settings [17]. Its strong oxidative power makes the chemical very dangerous, because it can become explosive when combined with certain substances. Adding acids to a hypochlorous acid solution will precipitate this process, making the mixture unstable, releasing chlorine gas, and potentially causing an explosive chemical reaction. The compound needs to be handled carefully because it can release dangerous chlorine gas if mixed with seemingly safe household products. Chlorine gas can cause considerable health problems or death, especially in poorly ventilated spaces, which is one reason why it is inadvisable to mix household chemicals like bleach at random.
YES, THAT’S TRUE, BUT SO WHAT? *HOUSES BURN DOWN EVERY DAY WHICH IS OXIDATION. SHALL WE QUIT BUILDING HOUSES OUT OF WOOD OR JUST QUIT LIVING IN THEM? WE ALL HANDLE VARIOUS CHEMICALS CAREFULLY.
