If you are hyperthyroid, then your heart rate is probably elevated,
and that may be bad if the rate is too high for too long (over 100).
Iodine can cause hyperthyroid in some as the iodine can be stimulating
to the thyroid. Good if one is hypothyroid.
MMS is not a nutrient- it is a potent chemical that seems to have it's
uses, maybe it will help your candida, but it is NOT a vitamin or
nutrient of any kind. I would be quite careful with it. Oreganol has
been used for candida as well, and again, it is not without side
effects if used too long.
I do not know if the endocrinologist's understanding is correct or
not. There is a very normal fluctuation of numbers, you would have to
look it up to see if yours are normal or not. Maybe you can correlate
them with what you have been doing, esp if you keep a log.
Antibodies are produced in reaction to something- that is what keeps
us from getting the same thing over and over again, like measles,
chicken pox, etc. We normally have antibodies to many many things
floating around in our system, at least that has been my
understanding. Is it possible that the MMS is provoking an immune
response in some way? Humble's writings may shed some light on this
question. I assume you have read all of his stuff on MMS before taking
it.
If you are getting rid of mold in your system (that is what candida
is, basically) there are all kinds of reactions possible until it is
gone and the herxing is over.
Of course, nutritional support in the form of lots of green veggies,
and even juicing veggies won't hurt, and often helps nearly everything.

Hi All,
I just received word from my endocrinologist this morning that I
have antibodies in my blood that’s attacking my thyroid. He stated:
autoimmune thyroid disease. At this point in time we’re not sure
whether I have Graves disease or Hashimoto’s because my numbers (T3,
T4 etc.) have been up and down within the last several months (and
several blood tests). We’re waiting for 6-7 weeks to go by to test
again with my not taking any supplements (including Lugol’s and kelp
which he believes may be the culprit as far as going back and forth).
Needless to say, I’m concerned as the last thing I’ll do is have my
thyroid removed – but he also mentioned that my body just might do
it on its own anyway. So, has anybody had any experience in this at
all?
Currently I’m on an MMS1 protocol of 15 drops – 2x a day (I felt
that my body needed cleansing as I’m quite sure I’ve had rampant
Candida). I also have been taking some oregano oil and EIS for a
sore throat which is just about gone now. I do take EIS everyday
( an ounce or two “just because”). Has anybody had any positive
results with using MMS1 and “fixing” their thyroid autoimmunity
problem?!!??!?! Should I add MMS2??!?!?!
Please, I’d like very much if anybody can tell me if there’s a way
that I can get my thyroid to function properly and get rid of these
antibodies. The Dr. said that IF it were to happen it would take
months (and the tests are extremely expensive and insurance will
cover the 1st one but may raise questions down the road) to see any
difference. I’m a member of the Iodine group and also the Stop the
Thyroid Madness which really focuses on hypothyroid (and at this
point I’m hyperthyroid).
ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated as I’m quite concerned!
Thank you!
Lisa
