MMS is the common name for miracle mineral solution. But here’s the magic question: is it hype or help?

MMS or miracle mineral solution is a diluted form of sodium chlorite. This common mineral has been used for many years to purify water.

How did all this information about MMS come about? Jim Humble found that when used with an activator, that MMS is an effective treatment for Malaria. It’s low cost and ease of use make it the miracle that they call it.

The activator is what makes the sodium chlorite so powerful. You can use lemon juice or vinegar, but citric acid is recommended. Mixed in the right quantity we get that miracle detox.

Once you mix the sodium chlorite with the activator you will notice the taste. It is strong, to say the least. Mix it with water, or apple juice without added vitamin C. Drink with a straw to diminish tasting it.

It is recommended that you follow the protocol, and not take too much at a time. This will give you a slower healthier detoxification process.

If you are interested in reading stories about using MMS you should be able to find some of the forums that discuss using MMS. There are doctors who recommend it as an alternative treatment. Curezone has a forum for this topic.
