So, I’ve been experimenting lately with something called MMS. That stands for Miracle Mineral Solution (hokey name, right?).
Let me give you an introduction if you’ve never heard of it.
Let’s start with the good stuff:
This Miracle Mineral Solution is supposedly the strongest pathogen killer of all time. Now, there are plenty of strong pathogen killers out there (antibiotics… chemotherapy, anyone?), but that hardly means its a miracle if it goes around hurting healthy cells along with all the parasites, bad bacteria, and viruses.
But not MMS. No, it allegedly enters the body, reacts with harmful pathogens, deactivates them, and then deactivates itself, without touching any healthy cells at all. And I’m talking, like – apparently this stuff is strong enough to kill anything from a common cold, to candida, to malaria, to hepatitis, and even AIDS. Without hurting healthy cells?? REALLY?
Well, I don’t know. I’m only in the experimentation stage. So far, I’m just going on what I’ve read and heard, but it sure as hell sounds good.
What causes hesitation with MMS for many people is that it’s, basically, a common chemical. In its deactivated form, it’s sodium chlorite (chlorite, not sodium chloride which is salt). When you mix it together with some citric acid (like that from lemons), a chemical reaction takes place and it becomes chlorine dioxide. You drink it down with some strong juice, because it tastes just awful.
Wait… chlorine? You’re drinking chlorine?
Supposedly not. I’m no chemist, but while it’s molecularly similar (and certainly smells a lot like you’re drinking water out of your pool), it apparently is not the same thing at all.
If you drink straight chlorine, it creates at least three different carcinogens in your body. But if you take chlorine dioxide (which is actually a gas, and not the same as chlorine… kind of like how carbon monoxide is obviously not the same thing as carbon, despite sharing an element), what happens is that your blood picks up the gas, which it thinks are oxygen molecules, and carries it around the body.
When the gas comes in contact with items in the body that are a great deal different than those of human cells, it explodes by ripping five electrons from the pathogen with tremendous force. They both become deactivated and are then expelled through the body’s waste systems (the liver, the digestive system, the lungs, and sometimes the skin). Any other MMS still left in the blood breaks down into harmless salt molecules after about an hour.
Here’s the protocol for taking MMS:
You start off with one or two drops, twice a day. After a few days with that, you up your dose by a drop. So now you’re taking three drops, twice a day. After a few days of that, you go up to four drops.
The goal is to get to 15 drops, twice a day, and sustain that for a couple of weeks. This is the dosage that apparently kills strong pathogens like malaria, so if you make it to that dosage and keep at it for a while, you will have definitely detoxed your whole body, and can then drop it down to a maintenance dose of six drops, three to four times a week.
Well….. if 15 drops will kill everything bad in your body, why don’t you just jump straight to 15 drops and be done with it?
Heres the thing – MMS has the potential to make you nauseous and give you diarrhea, particularly when you get into the higher doses. To those who don’t know anything about detoxification reactions or alternative health, the only reasonable explanation for this is that MMS is obviously a poison.
But I’ve mentioned this stuff before – when you suddenly get healthier and your body releases toxins quickly, your symptoms will often get worse. And if this stuff is as powerful as they say, there’s going to be a lot of dead toxins that are moving through your body and if your body gets overwhelmed, it’s going to deal with it by producing diarrhea or other reactions. Apparently it doesn’t last very long, and people tend to feel a lot better afterwards. The reactions can be completely avoided though if you just go slowly and let your body detox lightly as you work your way up to the higher doses.
Honestly – I never would have ever tried this stuff if I had just come across it on the internet by myself.
It just sounds too fishy (and hokey… I mean… did they have to name it Miracle Mineral Solution? It just sounds like lame-o marketing jargon that’s going to automatically invite skeptics). While there are hundreds of people on the internet who swear by the stuff, the naysayers say that you’re drinking nothing more than bleach and poisoning yourself if you take it, and I’m sure that would have scared me.
But the thing is, it was my hypnotherapist friend Bruce who first told me about this. He’s been using it off and on for a while, and he says that without a doubt, he feels literally ten years younger after only using it for three days. AND his eczema almost completely clears up.
I was certainly intrigued hearing this testimonial from a real live person, and I did my own research. The fact that this common chemical has such profound health benefits was discovered only a few years ago by a guy named Jim Humble. I still would have been pretty skeptical that this stuff was all just hype, but the fact is – this isn’t an expensive supplement. This stuff is cheap – a year’s supply of it costs less than 30 bucks.
The best part is that Jim Humble doesn’t even sell it. You can get it from all sorts of sources all over the internet, but not from him. So you know it’s not just a guy trying to make a quick buck off some snake oil – he isn’t making any money at all from it – which in my opinion, does give it more credibility.
Anyway – Do I think this has any potential to help with acne?
Yes… theoretically, I would say so. Acne is caused by many different things, so I can’t say it would help all cases, and MMS has no nutritional value, so it can’t replace a healthy diet and lifestyle. But many people are so overloaded with toxins, yeast, bad bacteria, parasites, mould, etc, that detoxing these would allow our normal elimination channels to catch up, and would potentially prevent toxins from being eliminated through our skin as acne.
Apparently MMS can also be used topically, which may have direct implications for healing acne. I have yet to try it topically though, so I can’t really comment on this.
What’s my experience with it so far?
Well… I’ve been using it for about a week and half now. I started with three drops, and I’ve just upped my dose this morning to six drops. I have yet to experience any diarrhea or nausea, but I have noticed that I’ve been really cranky and lethargic lately.
AND, I’m breaking out. Not terribly, but a little more than I have been lately. However, that isn’t annoying me like it usually would, because if the MMS is doing what it’s supposed to, it would make sense that my skin would temporarily get worse as my body detoxed. I’m actually welcoming it as a sign that it’s working.
Intereeesting stuff. I’m very intrigued, but I have no idea what’s going to happen. It’s an experiment, so I promise nothing.
If you decide to try it, I must warn you though to be careful. You do it at your own risk! Read as much as you can about it first – I’d highly recommend reading Jim Humble’s free ebook here to give you an introduction.
And here’s a video about it on youtube about a guy who is making a documentary about MMS:
Don’t ramp up your dosages too quickly, make yourself sick, and then get mad at me. I’ve been taking good care of my health for a while now (and have recently done a candida cleanse), so I would imagine that I don’t have as many toxins to detox as the average person. The more toxic your body, the more likely you’ll get nauseous on lower dosages!
Are you intrigued, or do you think I’m crazy for drinking something that smells like bleach?
Sampson says
July 24, 2011 at 2:18 pmI heard of this YEARS ago I think and its no more dangerous than drinking tap water (which is purified by a lot worse stuff than chlorine.)
When sodium/potassium is absorbed in the body, it will always detach itself from the chlorine atom and we need a certain amount of salt (sodium chloride/potassium chloride) to live.
Oxygen by itself is what people often refer to as free-radicals because it’s an unpaired molecule that NEEDS to react with something. As long as the chlorine and the oxygen around bound, there really isn’t much to worry about.
When people hear “chlorine” it conjures up really bad images, but most people don’t realize that the two constituents of table “salt” are both extremely deadly, but when you put them together they become inert and something your body needs. Sodium is an extremely reactive metal that explodes on contact with water. Chlorine is a lethal gas that was used as biological warfare in WWI. When you bring the two together you get something that’s completely harmless (for the most part anyway.)
I pay out the nose for high-quality supplements so it’s not something I would get or probably benefit much from but I’m sure some would.
Tracy says
July 24, 2011 at 2:33 pmDo you have a chemistry degree Sampson? You always have the best chemistry info 🙂
Sampson says
July 24, 2011 at 3:58 pmWorking on it actually!
Lucy says
July 24, 2011 at 10:17 pmThis sounds really interesting. How does it affect the good bacteria in your body? I am going to look into this more!.Thanks for telling us about it!
Tracy says
July 26, 2011 at 8:08 pmWell, there are several ways that MMS actually works, and apparently one way is that it’s very alkaline, so it seeks out things in your body that are too acidic and neutralizes them. Apparently the good bacteria in your body are on PH balance with your body and so therefore, the MMS doesn’t hurt them. Something like that. I can’t say for sure though, so I would probably still recommend taking a probiotic supplement or something while you take the MMS.
magda says
July 25, 2011 at 1:25 amthis is my favourite blog! can you keep us posted on your progress? this is really interesting!
Andrew says
July 25, 2011 at 2:42 amIs there a specific brand you recommend, and I noticed that some try and sell an “activator”, is that even necessary? Thanks
Tracy says
July 26, 2011 at 8:14 pmWell, I got mine from this website: http://www.subtleenergytherapy.com/
It’s Canadian though, so you might want to find a supplier in your country so you don’t have to pay lots of shipping charges.
Here’s a note though: The Food and Drug associations in Canada and Australia have cracked down on MMS and made it illegal for anyone to sell it as a supplement (and issued a warning about it on the grounds of the nausea and diarrhea). The real reason is because if something as powerfully healing (and common) as MMS was known to the general public, pharmaceutical companies would be up the creek. So …. anyway, they can’t actually make it illegal to sell it since it’s actually just a common substance, so now people are selling it as ‘Water Purification” drops (like you see on that website).
Also, yes, you need the activator, it’s very important!! It’s the citric acid, and get it in the 1:1 ratio. If you don’t activate the sodium chlorite with citric acid, it won’t do anything.
Alright, that’s it, I’m making FAQ about this for a soon-to-be post.
Andrew says
July 30, 2011 at 3:31 amI was looking at the website and it looks like this is the one that I’m going to have to buy because most others that I see have a 28% “solution of sodium chlorite in distilled water” which I don’t think is the full grade one. Most websites that sell these low grade solutions also include the activator which seems to be some citric acid “powder” type of bag. I was wondering what do you use to activate yours since the website that you used doesn’t sell an activator?
I’m really looking forward to trying this. Thanks for your help.
Tracy says
July 31, 2011 at 9:15 amYes, sodium chlorite in distilled water 28% is the one that you want – that is the MMS. That is the magic concentration, apparently. And yes, you do need the activator. This is the one I bought (the citric acid is in liquid form, which seems more convenient than powder): https://www.subtleenergytherapy.com/xcart888/product.php?productid=16140&cat=253&page=1
Read my latest article for more info about it! Also, read jim humbles ebook for instructions okay.
Rosie says
July 25, 2011 at 11:13 amOmg! I have a good feeling about this 🙂 I personally believe acne is caused by a combination of things, the most prominent of which is a conjested liver, the acquired inability of the body to deal with toxins and to inactivate hormones. Further reasons can be candida, parasites, food intolerancies .. etc. But definitely a build up of toxins in our gallbladder which can result in many allergies as well. I’ve personally felt at my best after continuously doing a lighter gallbladder cleanse (olive oil mixture and lemon juice instead of the tougher enema version) and taking a couple of charcoal tablets afterwards to prevent the toxins being absorbed back. Otherwise a raw diet, but it seems the raw diet is not enough and will not ever be for people who have continuously struggled with acne. This website is great and I’m glad I’ve found it. Hopefully, this thing will turn out to speed the detoxification process and gallbladder cleanse dramatically. Tracy, honey, please keep us posted on this one! x
Tracy says
July 26, 2011 at 8:06 pmThanks I will! 🙂
Jennifer says
July 25, 2011 at 7:04 pmGreat post (as always). I’m actually really tempted to try this stuff and see what it’s all about.
I do have a question though…if this stuff supposedly deactivates the toxins in your body, why do you still have to go through a detoxing phase?
Tracy says
July 26, 2011 at 8:05 pmYes, because if toxins or yeast or parasites are killed or deactivated in the body by something (your immune system, usually, or in this case the MMS), the body still has to remove them somehow… through your bowels, or lungs, etc
Laura says
February 29, 2012 at 8:44 pmSome things like yeast release more toxins into the system as they die-off, so that could be another reason.
Loreal says
July 26, 2011 at 9:46 amThis does intrigue me, but can this really be considered a holostic approach? It seems a bit unnatural to use this in place of an herbal detox, etc. How does this “mineral solution” have any negative impacts on the environment?
Just curious, but I love your blog, promise! [:
Tracy says
July 26, 2011 at 8:03 pmTechnically all elements and combinations of elements are essentially chemicals (like oxygen, salt… etc). In this day and age, we’ve come to refer to chemicals as things that are harmful. And when I usually refer to “chemicals” I mean it in a negative, unnatural way.
But in this case, if it’s something that gets results, and only has positive effects on the body, and no negative side effects (aside from the herxheimer symptoms that go away quickly, and these same reactions happen with all ‘natural’ treatments as well). I also don’t think something positive for the body would be bad for the environment. That being said, I don’t know how the elements that make up MMS are obtained from the earth.

July 28, 2011 at 5:49 pmHi Tracy,
I’ve known about mms for a few years now. Jim Humble is a beautiful man who is helping a lot of people, who would otherwise be left with limited options to improve their health.
I purchased mms back in 08 and started taking the dosage you described above. It certainly does kill parasites, toxins etc. I reached a 10 drop dose before I started to fee nausea, which is good, I know it was killing stuff, but since that experience I couldn’t take it anymore because of the taste, just smelling it made me feel sick lol anyway I would love to take it again, but I need to try to take it without smelling or tasting it….I think he now has some new protocols for this purpose. All the best with it. For now I’m sticking with infra red saunas to detox, no detox reactions…woohoo
Love & Gratitude
Annette 🙂
Tracy says
July 28, 2011 at 6:07 pmHi Annette!
Awesome, thanks for your perspective. Good to hear from someone else who’s tried it.
You say that you can’t bear the taste or smell of it now… which is understandable, it’s pretty gross. Were you taking it only with water? Not mixing it with a juice or anything?
Annette says
July 30, 2011 at 6:53 amHi Tracy,
I was first taking it in water, which is fine with the small doses, but as you increase the dose even juice doesn’t always eliminate the taste. You can only use certain juices too, no added vitamin C, so I think I used pear….hard to find one without vit C….
I’m still interested in detoxing my body for general health purposes, but at this time I’ve done A LOT in this area, including now eating Paleo for 3 years, which was the best health move for my acne so far. Now, I’m working more on the emotions, which I feel is the biggest contributor to my acne…..not that I have much these days, but yep I still break out regularly, just nowhere as severe….
Good luck with the mms…keep us updated on your progress.
Love & Gratitude
Annette 🙂
Renee says
May 24, 2012 at 9:38 amI am new to the MMS world. In fact, I’ve only tried MMS once, just a few months ago. However, I have been taking CDS which is practically the same as MMS, except for more advantages. It destroys all the same viruses, pathogens, parasites, and disease causing organisms the same as MMS, and is very easy to use with no mixing involved (it does not need to be activated). The taste and smell is very tolerable, in fact I kinda prefer it to just normal water now.
I started taking it at the urging of some friends because I was starting to have severe respiratory problems. Well, that issue was cleared up with several additional “side effects” including my acne disappearing, I’ve lost a few pounds and my depression seems to be under control.
Hopefully, CDS will help those who feel MMS is too much for them!
Renee
Tracy says
May 24, 2012 at 5:29 pmHi Renee – that’s really interesting – hadn’t heard of CDS before. So is it really just the same thing as MMS, just … what’s the difference?
I’m glad to hear it worked so well for you though!
Renee says
May 25, 2012 at 7:31 pmCDS is just the off gases of MMS. Here is a video that explains the process a little better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t2V7NOsnJM
It’s relatively new form of MMS but I have been very happy the results in my case so far. Just tryin’ to get the word out so that even more people can be helped!
Renee
Tracy says
May 27, 2012 at 8:39 amVery interesting! Doesn’t look so hard in practice, but quite a bit more complicated because of the extra equipment you need. Like where do you get the hose and needles??
Renee says
June 8, 2012 at 7:57 amI haven’t attempted to make it myself… YET. However, I have ordered it pre-made from http://www.mmsgreenlife.com/ . For now, I am using CDS 3000 and am finding it to be very effective! They just came out with CDS 6000 which is a more potent form of CDS. I will try that when I run out of CDS 3000.
Laura says
June 7, 2013 at 2:54 amHi Renee,
I was wondering how you went about upping the amount of drops. How many you started with, when you increased them, what you’re at now etc.
Thank you so much for the tip on CDS. I definitely want to try it
liquidsilver says
June 17, 2013 at 8:23 amHi Renee,
What dose of CDS were you using that helped with acne? (how many drops of cds, how many times a day, and for how many days)?
Thanks!
Rosie says
April 30, 2012 at 8:40 pmI heard about MMS a few years ago and bought some. My boyfriend came down wih dengue fever and was bedridden for 2 days. I finally forced him to take the MMS. He went to work the next morning. Mind you he was still weak but he was out of bed and at work. He continued taking it for over a week. He also sent to work every day during that time. I could not believe how he went from almost crawling on the floor to going to work. MMS does work. Dengue fever ususally sast several weeks of extreme sicknes. I was sold and use it for almost every little thing that comes up. Rosie
x says
November 15, 2012 at 3:54 amTo my surprise this girl is two steps ahead of me ! I wanted to hear your result on this mms to date . I didnt leave my real e-mail due to personal issues with confidentiality but I’ve been doing research on this strain for quite sometime in a university somewhere . I was interested in working with you and other undergrad students on holistic measures and to develop an answer to this problem.
Nicole says
March 20, 2013 at 7:53 pmI use this and it does work.
Lu says
May 26, 2013 at 3:10 amWhat is the protocol for a TODDLER with eczema tho? I hate when docs etc. claim certain cures are JUST anectodal. I say if it works 4 u, go 4 it!
Geraldine says
August 28, 2013 at 6:17 pmHi Tracy, I am 22 years old and I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. As rheumatism is an auto immune disease, would MMS have an effect on my arthritis? I am currently looking into less conventional method to treat it, seeing as many of the drugs prescribed for this problem can have toxic effects on the liver. Thank you for taking the time to illuminate the wonderful world of natural medicine. Keep up the great work!
Lindsay says
October 29, 2013 at 8:09 pmPlease please DO NOT take MMS!!! People are DYING from ingesting this stuff!! Got to http://www.healthwyze.com and read debate with Jim Humble!!
Jeff says
April 21, 2019 at 10:00 pmOh Lindsay, not one death …ever! Please show your evidence as the website you mention does not exist anymore. I tire of these dramatics!
I’ve been using MMS successfully for several years now. As have thousands of others and not one death. Compare that to pharmaceutical stats.
Tom Milliken says
May 27, 2015 at 8:57 pmHi!
Your openness towards MMS is refreshing. The general attitude seems to be: “This stuff can’t possibly work, so don’t bother me with your so-called evidence!” It, MMS, seems to vibrate some primal fear-chord in many people. They are so indoctrinated by by the powers-that-be that they feel their paradigm seriously threatened by alternatives.
I do have some suspicions about the MMS mentalities; they seems to be fired by a kind of religious zeal that is counter to rational analysis. For example, they call for testimonies, not experiences. I wrote one of their spokes-persons about this, and he told me, basically, that if people were not getting the cure-all results, then they must be doing something wrong; MMS could not be suspect.
So, you have two camps: the hard-core pro-MMS people and the hard-core anti-MMS people. It is a bit like a shouting match, but the MMS side comes off looking better; most of the anti-MMS rhetoric is just plain stupid.
Yes, MMS is an ill-conceived nomenclature — even worse than you stated. Originally, it stood for: Miracle Mineral Supplement. Jim Humble comes across as a kind of goofy guy, so the chemical’s fanciful name comes as no surprise to me. Yet, I admire the man for what he has done and is doing. MMS has the potential to be revolutionary to the point of paradigm changing. Actually, nobody understands it, I believe. Not all explanations can be based on known laws of chemistry; this is the old paradigm. And I sincerely hope that MMS, whatever you want these three letters to mean, is a big weapon targeting the defunct paradigm, with its foundation in Big Bucks. (No doubt you know about Daniel Smith, a modern-day martyr, if the Justice Department gets its way.
The only way to know the truth of the matter is just what you have the courage and smarts to do: try it. I am a bit handicapped in this regard because I am an American living in Lao (Laos to you). But soon my son will send me some and I will begin my own, impartial investigation. I say “impartial”, but in truth I am hoping that MMS is all that its supporters say it is. But at the age of seventy-five, I fully realize that Life will not always accommodate our fondest desires. My “hope” is not “belief”.
Closer to your subject matter, I suffered the curse of acne when I was young, and this probably led to me being the introvert that I am. People do not die from it, but how many people are emotionally crippled? If we could say goodbye to both malaria and acne, it would be a global blessing indeed.
So, keep up your good work and your good attitude — something rare in these times, I believe. Times are bad and getting worse, but there are a few candles in the darkness, and I count you as one.
Sincerely,
Tom Milliken

November 8, 2016 at 8:42 amSoooo…how is it going? Did you stop taking it? 🙂
Jeff says
May 7, 2018 at 8:42 amMMS cured my cystic acne which I used to get on my back and butt for over thirty years. Every few days new zits, especially after sweating. now for the first time no more. Previously no vitamins, no antibiotics, no scrubs or peroxide would work reliably. Only MMS worked reliably for me.
The trick for me was to mix equal drops of mms and citric activator and place topically all over affected skin areas every day and leave for about a minute (when it turns brown) just before shower. I use a disposable plastic cup to mix and apply with disposable glove. I have found topical application more effective than ingesting MMS for acne.
At first I would dilute the mixture but now that I am used to it I place it full strength. Be careful if you try this, use diluted to see if you can tolerate this first.
As a bonus it seems to lighten spots and even out skin tone.
Previous to this I did the same with high UMF Manuka honey but now find MMS more effective and much cheaper.
Also use the left over MMS diluted with water to wash body and hair. Done this over a year and never felt better.
