Daniel Gibbs If you want to know what the long-term effects of MMS are when you use it consistently, read on. Oftentimes, the supplement may give you nausea, but you may be surprised to know that it may also produce inflammation. When done over the short term, inflammation can be beneficial, in that it can increase blood flow to tissues and give them the nutritional support they need to heal.
However, if your immune system remains on “high alert,” where you are experiencing inflammation beyond just its necessary function of removing microbes and diseased tissue, inflammatory response can become detrimental to you. In fact, inflammation can damage your body if it stays in place over the long term, and is thought to be at least partially the cause behind many chronic diseases today.
Chlorine dioxide works effectively to kill microbes because it’s a powerful oxidizer. In general, if substances oxidize within the body, you get a strong immune response. That’s why inflammation is often absolutely necessary during times of healing. Inflammation helps the body speed up the healing process, because it gives additional nutritional support to the area that needs it most, and also helps provide the avenue by which it wastes and other toxins can be removed.
Inflammation can certainly be unpleasant over the short term, true, but it may be necessary. Unfortunately, modern medicine actually treats even short-term inflammation by trying to suppress it, too often. Many modern diseases that have inflammation as a symptom (and that would normally be short-term) in fact have this most valuable response thwarted by modern medicine’s propensity to suppress the inflammation response no matter what the situation or cause. Therefore, too often, the treatment suppresses the mechanism (short-term inflammation) by which nature could deal with and even annihilate the disease.
Chronic diseases in general are much more common as we get older. That means that any chronic pathology is going to slowly strip the body of its natural antioxidant supplies, and using MMS over a longer time will exacerbate this even more. As you can probably guess, then, it’s important that you supplement with additional antioxidant support as you consume MMS.
Consuming additional antioxidants should be done separately from MMS, as if you consume your antioxidants too close to gather with MMS, they’ll cancel each other out, were in effect neutralized each other so that they have no effect. So if, for example, you take MMS before breakfast and before bedtime, take your antioxidants near the middle of the day.
Antioxidants can be found in vitamin supplementation like vitamins C, E, and B complex vitamins. Other antioxidant supplements include: coenzyme Q10 and grape seed extract; other foods, too, are rich sources of antioxidants, and can be found in polyunsaturated oils, green tea, fresh fruits, berries, and the spice turmeric. Again, even antioxidants in foods should be taken separately from MMS, which is why it’s a good idea to take MMS both on an empty stomach just on arising, and just before bed several hours after you have eaten.
Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is a very powerful antioxidant that protects areas of the body like the brain, heart and eyes. When you take vitamin C, again, make sure you consume it at least one to two hours before or after you have taken MMS; if you don’t, both substances will effectively neutralize or cancel each other out.
If you’ve somehow gotten hold of sodium chlorite and have ingested it, ingesting a large amount of clean (drinkable) water mixed with ascorbic acid should be taken over a period of two hours, because you can neutralize the chlorine dioxide compound in this way. After you’ve done this, if you need further relief, you can induce vomiting to get rid of anything left in the stomach.
Keep in mind that too much of anything is not something to be desired. It’s also true of MMS. So be careful, and remember that being in good health takes careful attention to many things, because it occurs in many different facets of your diet and lifestyle. Over time and with diligence, your body will naturally strive towards equilibrium, and allow your body to return to its natural state of health.
