How NOT to run an experiment...

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

I'm a couple of days behind with the list, so if anything I mention is

being talked about already, please forgive me. This is going to be a

bit long and involved...

Necessary background: I am a dental revision patient. I had all my

amalgams out 18 months ago. I have to do some kind of detox therapy

regularly or I get mercury toxic. Mostly I do epsom salt sweat-baths

every 3 to 4 days.

Otherwise, I'm a typical metabolic syndrome, insulin resistant, pear

shaped 50 year old male who's 60 pounds overweight, with a long history

of antibiotic use before finding colloidal silver 10 years ago.

I started MMS back in early September and ramped up to around 25 drops

fairly quickly, two or three times a day with no obvious reactions --

or results.

Then I had a couple of health issues -- an eye injury and a bad virus --

that knocked me for a loop and caused me to interrupt my MMS protocol

for a few weeks.

I started up again a couple of weeks back with just one daily dose in

the evening. I started out at 8 drops and worked up to 16, and I'm now

ramping up *very* slowly.

One thing I have observed is that MMS *does* seem to help detoxify

mercury. Not perfectly, mind you, but at least some. During my first

cycle of MMS I did not do *anything* to detox and my mercuric symptoms

were very slow to return, if at all.

During the break from MMS, I was tardy starting up my baths again and

got a notable return of my worst symptoms -- fatigue, depression, aches

and pains, brain fog -- before getting back on the ball.

I had just done my first couple baths again when a plumbing problem

knocked out our bathtub for almost two weeks. Fortunately, even at the

lower doses I've been taking, the MMS seems to have greatly slowed down

the onset of mercury toxicity symptoms. The plumbing has finally been

fixed...

Now for how NOT to run an experiment!!!

The first evening I tried increasing to 18 drops, about an hour later I

had my first ever bowel reaction. I had a bout of diarrhea that night,

skipped the next day's BM entirely, then repeated the diarrhea the

third day, even though I skipped my dose of MMS on the second day and

went back to 16 drops on the third day.

Okay, that's simple enough, right? The MMS gave me a reaction. Well,

maybe not. There were some other things that were going on, too...

First, and least likely, I had started eating some chipotle seasoned

tostada shells which I haven't tried before. Maybe some ingredient was

upsetting me.

Second, in the afternoon of day 3 I took my first sweat bath since

fixing the tub and afterwards got a *NASTY* sinus headache and

borderline nausea that flattened me so bad that I skipped dinner and

went to bed. I got up later and felt good enough to take my next dose

of MMS.

Third, and most intriguing, I had just bought a bottle of Real Salt,

which we'd discussed here a few days ago, and started using it the day

before my first reaction, the same time as those tostada shells.

Is there just enough mercury in the salt from those ancient seabeds to

trigger the secondary immune response I've been warned to expect once

I've gotten far enough along with my detoxification?

On the other hand, one of Dr. Huggins' recommendation for us revision

patients that have slow digestion is to generously salt our food to

help the stomach make more HCl. So I was now taking a fair amount of

Real Salt, instead of the pickling salt I've been using. Easily several

grams, in fact!

If we combine that with the 3 or 4 packets of EmergenC that I've been

taking daily as an experiment since Wayne Fugitt recommended that

product on the MDI list, I wonder if I was accidentally doing a fairly

aggressive Salt-C protocol without realizing it? Was the new, more

potent salt doing things to me?

We've now finished off the flavored tostada shells, and I've switched

back to pickling salt and reverted to 16 drops of MMS for the last 3

days. The diarrhea stopped after the second episode and I'm ready to

start *systematically* re-introducing these factors to see what's

really going on. The first step will be to try 18 drops again...

Fun stuff. Any comments?

Be well,

Mike D.
