Re: drug interactions or other contraindications?

[Guest guest]

Hello Patti,

There are no studies on interactions of any drugs and MMS.

I believe the question was posed to Jim Humble and he stated that he didn't

think there could be any reaction, but he hasn't done any studies to back his

opinion up.

As far as other contraindications go, Dr. Hesselink has said the following:

" There are important substance-oxidant incompatibilities which must now be

addressed. Various classes of substances must not be present in the stomach at

the time of the acidified sodium chlorite treatment, if any beneficial results

are to be expected. Of paramount importance is the avoidance of antioxidants

together with the treatment. Antioxidants are usually thiol compounds or

phenolic compounds, which can specifically eliminate chlorine dioxide. Chlorine

dioxide is used in industry to specifically target and to destroy thiols and

phenols, because they readily react together and destroy each other. Examples of

chlorine dioxide quenching compounds are: N-acetyl-L-cysteine, glutathione,

alpha-lipoic acid, ascorbic acid, polyphenols, tocopherols, bioflavonoids,

anthocyanidins, benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, juice concentrates and many herbal

remedies. Most fruits especially grapes and berries are rich sources of

polyphenolic antioxidants. Examples of herbs rich in antioxidant polyphenols

are: chocolate, tea, coffee, turmeric, silymarin, licorice, ginkgo, olive.

Sulfur rich foods also eliminate chlorine dioxide if present in the stomach at

the time of treatment. Examples include: garlic, onion, leek, asparagus, beans,

peas, egg, milk and even white potatoe (due to alpha-lipoic acid). Protein must

also not be present in the stomach at the time of treatment. Proteins are made

of amino acids which present an abundance of phenols, organic sulfides, thiols

and secondary amines, which react with and eliminate chlorine dioxide on

contact. L-tyrosine has a phenol group. L-methionine is a sulfide. L-cysteine is

a thiol. L-tryptophan, L-proline and L-histidine have secondary amino groups.

Certain B-complex vitamins are similarly reactive such as: thiamine, riboflavin,

folate, pantothenate. Finally many drugs contain secondary amines, tertiary

amines, thiols, sulfides or phenols. Under physician direction these may also

need to be identified and withheld on the day of treatment or at least not taken

at the time of treatment. While antioxidants and vitamin supplements are

generally speaking healthy for preventive and longevity purposes, and while

these are beneficial in the treatment of many chronic diseases, these are

incompatible at the moment of the acidified sodium chlorite treatment.

Therefore, fruit, fruit juices, fruit concentrates, wines, green drinks, herbs,

protein, most vitamins and most drugs should not be taken at the time of

treatment and certainly not mixed with the acidified sodium chlorite solution.

If these principles are not respected, little if any oxidants will survive to

kill pathogens and no benefit should be expected. "

Tom;

Thank You for this wonderful information. When someone is very ill it is very

hard to do this kind of research for yourself.

I have printed out what you have said and consider this extremely valuable

information.

When I was on chemo & rad., those treatments were not working because I was

trying to do my own healing with supplements. There wasn't much information

available at that time. The Dr.'s do not want you taking anything, because chemo

is designed to weaken the immune system, I think.

Hello Sande,

Chemo is tough. I was very pleased to find that some oncologists take a

proactive stance and have actually come up with a group of supplements that 1.

don't interfere with the chemo treatment, and 2. help offset the adverse effects

of the chemo treatment.

Oops, perhaps my joy was not well founded. I can't seem to find the link. At

the time I ran across it, we had a friend that was having a very difficult time

with chemo. I believe the supplements provided some relief. If I run across

the link, I will pass it on.
