Hi Tom.  Would you mind if I pass this wonderful information on to the MMS
list?  

There were at least 2 ladies, that I remember, from the first list who noted
dramatic facial skin changes upon taking high doses of MMS daily.  It was
the oxidant effect they knew.  Their solution was to stop the MMS and take
massive amounts of antioxidants, and their skin went back to looking normal.
 They did not want to give up on the MMS though because of it making them 
feel so much better in their health issues (which I can't remember what they
were).  They compromised by switching between oxidant and antioxidants every
few days.

Plus, there were some sensitive people who stated that they felt MMS was
having a negative effect on their heart due to, they thought, MMS actually
stripping C from their bodies.

There were a couple others who felt that the MMS killed good bacteria along
with the bad as they could tell by how they felt.  So I've always told
anyone interested in taking MMS to be sure to supplement with C and
probiotics.  These could be spaced out so that they did not interfere with
the MMS action.

But your findings are, indeed, interesting.  

When I first got my MMS I did not have a timer and was guessing at the
activation time.  Because hardly anything bothers me I started out with a 15
drop dose, activated with 75 drops of white vinegar in a half glass water. 
Waited what I THOUGHT was 3 minutes, drank it and no effect.  This went on
for a couple days when I finally decided I'd better actually time it.  When
I did, and took that 15 drop dose, within a hour I was projectile vomiting
and had liquid diarrhea.  So activation, I learned, was important too.  :-)

I never tested it against C, trusting Jim's notes about C stopping it. 
Interesting that you say the apple juice stops it too, because Jim use to
recommend taking it with natural apple juice.

I'm wondering if you know about Cell Food?  It is advertised as an oxygen
product, separating hydrogen and oxygen thereby making oxygen more available
to the cells.  Whether it contains diluted sodium chlorite (as a stabilized
oxygen product) or not, I don't know--but I do know that taking Cell Food on
a continuing basis made a big difference in me.  And as I said, since I'm
pretty healthy and had nothing I was trying to 'fix' I was pretty impressed
by the physical results I got from Cell Food.  I am wondering if this is
along the same lines as the electron transport chain.  

Anyway--I will be very interested in any other findings you come up with. 
Have you thought about writing an ebook on the many uses of sodium chlorite
and the various solution rates?  I'd be extremely interested in that since I
m kind of math challenged when it comes to figuring out the ppm rates, and
dilution formulas.  :-)

Thanks again for patiently explaining all this to me.  I appreciate it.

Samala,
