Hi Mike,

Comments...you could have given yourself a bigger herx reaction by

taking all the salt and vitamin C on the same day, plus the MMS. As

Rosemary said, it is a protocol used by some to kill Lyme. The

January 2005 copy of the Townsend Letter goes into some detail about

the interaction of salt and vita C and its killing effect on various

pathogens.

In addition to the Lymephotos site that Rosemary mentioned, there's a

group called Lymestrategies. The protocol there calls for a

gradual ramping up of salt/C doses in order to avoid intolerable

herxes. The advice is to start with one or two grams of each (salt &

C). Sooooo you started out at least 4 grams of each. Yup, you likely

got a double whammy...salt/c and MMS herxing. No fun!

Blessings,

Avril
