MMS Treated Drinking Water and Bladder Cancer Post

[Guest guest]

Someone on another forum asked me about this and specifically the

cancer risk. I don't see a few thousand cases of cancer from the

treated drinking water a significant number but I'm not sure. I'm

also not sure if the chlorine dioxide is causing the cancer or if

other pathogens are causing it.

Would anyone on here care to comment on this post? I still believe

in the product.

Second Special Note: There has been a lot of commotion in health

circles about a product called Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS). It

is being advertised as the answer to AIDS, hepatitis A, B and C,

malaria, herpes, TB, most cancer and many more of mankind's worst

diseases. The claim about how the chlorine (a poison, not what would

be considered a mineral for health)[vi] interacts with pathogens is

the same claim we can make about iodine (a safe nutritional mineral),

which is known to also kill pathogens of all types on contact. I do

not mean to make a qualified medical opinion on MMS, which is

chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is formed from the chemical

combination of sodium chlorite and the acetic acid (vinegar) or

citric acid. Chlorine dioxide is dangerous to handle and use. A

search for material safety data sheets sustains the risk of using

this substance.

Chlorine dioxide: May decompose explosively on shock, friction or

concussion, or on heating rapidly. Strong oxidant - reacts violently

with combustible and reducing materials, and with mercury, ammonia,

sulphur and many organic compounds.[vii]

A strong irritant of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; [HSDB] A

strong oxidizer that promotes combustion; Concentrated solutions may

be corrosive to the skin and eyes; Mild hemolytic anemia and

increased methemoglobin in males is observed in animal feeding

studies; [CHEMINFO][viii]

Acute Health Effects: [ix]

Ingestion: Not a normal route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Can

cause irritation to mouth,

esophagus, stomach, and mucous membranes.

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 (with chronic exposure).

The use of dangerous poisons is common in allopathic medicine. Even

when pharmaceutical companies jump through hoops costing many

millions of dollars to test such poisons (most pharmaceuticals are

mitochondria poisons) it does not remove the dangers of the poisons,

which create all kinds of complications and side effects. The natural

allopathic medicine of Survival Medicine only uses such poisons as a

last resort.

It almost never makes sense medically to ignore the basics, the air

we breathe, the water we drink and the sun. Minerals like magnesium

and iodine are up there with the prime basics of life and the use of

poisons like chlorine dioxide should not be considered for use unless

the basics do not supply the necessary resolution. In the special

case of the supposedly magical mineral substance we have something

vastly safer, more natural and proven through over a century of

medical use. We have iodine, which has the same anti pathogenic

profile as that claimed for the chlorine compound.

It is hard to believe that chlorine would

be selective in what it damages or kills.

A later meta-analysis found chlorinated water is associated each year

in America with about 4,200 cases of bladder cancer and 6,500 cases

of rectal cancer. Chlorine is estimated to account for nine percent

of bladder cancer cases and 18 percent of rectal cancers. Those

cancers develop because the bladder and rectum store waste products

for periods of time. (Keeping the bowels moving regularly lowers such

risk.) Chlorinated water is associated with higher total risk of all

cancers.[x]

Lastly, the marketing materials and promotion of this chlorine

compound are not anchored in medical science or reason. It is very

hard to verify claims or trust those who whip up medical hysteria

because we never know when testimonials are just projections of the

hysteria. The placebo effect is alive and well and its waters

fertilized when unsubstantiated claims are made. It makes sense

sometime in medicine to take risks but not before medical basics is

employed first. Why promote the use of something that has inherent

dangers when we have something proven and safe.
