Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hello Tammy, In studies with rats it was found that chlorite does pass the blood brain barrier. While this has not been studied in humans, I would be surprised if it didn't. One of the concerns with oxidation therapy is oxidation damage. When people are exposed to high concentrations of chlorine dioxide, they suffer brain impairment for a while and then the brain seems to go back to normal function. Once chlorine dioxide enters the body it is quickly transformed to chlorite, so it is reasonable to speculate that it is able to cross the blood brain barrier. It is also speculated that long term oxidative damage from chlorite may manifest itself in a loss of cognitive function. I think that DMSO is an anti oxidant and that would work against the chlorous acid solution. There were a series of tests done with MMS and DMSO which were applied transdermally for treating cancer. I don't believe there was much success using it. The studies with rats indicated that chlorite was present in all the organs within a couple of hours, so I am not sure DMSO is needed. From a chlorite perspective, I don't think there is much difference between rats and humans... It is all about the details. Too much and you do oxidative damage. Too little and it is ineffective. If you get it just right you have the best chance of it working. Tom > > My one daughter has a lot of mental issues from her infection whether it is > the Bartonella, Lyme, whatever.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Oh thank goodness! To tell the truth I was kind of freaking out about this as all my infection is in my brain....and people improving with neurolyme disease on MMS, it just has to cross the BBB. Tom do you have an opinion as to whether the 30 drops a day target dose is too much or too little? Is that what most on here are doing? > > > > My one daughter has a lot of mental issues from her infection whether it is > > the Bartonella, Lyme, whatever.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hello , I don't have Lyme disease, and no one in our group has it either. The cases I have followed have all taken a similar path. At around 4 - 6 drops, there seems to be an increase in energy and a reduction in symptoms. As the number of drops is increased, there seems to be little improvement. At 30 drops the person is suffering from discomfort and does not seem to be getting much better. I am aware of a couple of people that claim they have been cured. In each case, MMS was one of several treatments used, so the effectiveness of MMS is uncertain. This is not to say that it doesn't work, just that it doesn't work as advertised. I think there is a benefit in the 4 - 6 drop range. I also think that there is a benefit from pulsing. Beyond that, I don't know. In medicine, one of the big problems in clinical trials is the placebo effect. Often this accounts for about 30% of the success of a treatment. This does not mean that the people are not suffering from an illness. It means that some people can concentrate and overcome their illness when they focus. The placebo acts as a focus. With MMS, I have not been able to verify a 30% success rate. I don't know exactly what that means, but it does cast some doubts with the current protocol. My suggestion is to contact Jim Humble and see if he will put you into contact with someone that has been cured of Lyme using MMS. This way you can compare notes and adjust doses to those that are most effective.
