 The Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) is marketed feverishly as a miraculous alternative treatment for AIDS, hepatitis, malaria, herpes, tuberculosis, cancer and many more of mankind’s most feared diseases. 
 
			The truth is that MMS is 
			a dangerous poison, and as such it has no business whatsoever in the 
			alternative health arena. 
 MMS as a poison does kill intrusive germs in your body, but it would be naïve to believe it to be carefully selective in what it kills and destroys, or to think that the damage done has only limited consequences. 
 
			It is shocking that MMS 
			is recommended so widely, that it is recommended to already weakened 
			individuals AND that it is recommended for long-term use. In truth, 
			the potential long-term and dangerous side effects of regular MMS 
			use should give anyone the shivers. 
 
			This information is 
			crucial to see why MMS is NOT an alternative health solution. 
 The molecules we wish to keep intact, however, are subject to oxygen’s burning influence and they are at risk of losing electrons as well. The fire from a candle flame aptly illustrates oxidation in which the electrons of the candle wax are ripped off by oxygen in the atmosphere with the resulting, self-perpetuating release of light and heat. 
 As oxygen makes its way through the body, many of its molecules lose an electron. 
 This means that they become chemically unstable and highly reactive ions as free radicals are formed. These unstable metabolic by-products of energy production in cells strive to stabilize by ‘stealing’ a replacement electron from any neighboring molecule, leaving even more damaged molecules in their wake. This is how free radicals in our bodies are produced and cause inflammation, a process that is best known as oxidative stress or oxidative damage. 
 
			Oxidation can even cause 
			debilitating changes to your DNA. 
 Any free radical involving oxygen can be referred to as a Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). A perfect example of a ROS is hypochlorous acid, which is now also known as Miracle Mineral Solution 2 (MMS2). 
 
			Keep in mind that the 
			loss of electrons from molecules whose integrity is vital to the 
			structure of our cell membranes, DNA, skin or eyes results in damage 
			and disease. Oxidation is the most toxic force affecting all the 
			molecules of the body; it’s the enemy of youth, the ally of all 
			diseases, and the fundamental mechanism of all injury, all aging, 
			and eventually, of death [1]. 
 
			Antioxidants help to 
			counteract or neutralize the free radicals before they can damage 
			our healthy cells by lending a hand (actually, an electron) when 
			stabilization is needed. This is the reason why we are fond of so 
			many antioxidants such as vitamin C, E, carotenoids, resveratrol, 
			taurine, coenzyme Q10, and melatonin, to name but a few. 
 
			But keep in mind that 
			DNA protection is essential not only to guard us from cancer, but 
			also because in all of our cells, DNA carries our ancestral identity 
			and the instructions and information that maintain our bodies. We 
			might also wonder what other special properties could be lying 
			dormant in our DNA. 
 The toxic effects of chlorine dioxide are associated with those of sodium chlorite - a very strong oxidant that at a dose of 10-15 grams is considered to be lethal. Even small amounts of about 1 gram can be expected to cause nausea and vomiting. 
 Now get this: the MMS protocol suggests that taking up to 60 drops per day is within reason. 
 There are 20 drops in one gram, which means that the protocol may call for the ingestion of 3 grams or more of what amounts to household bleach. This is three times the amount required to produce nausea and vomiting and 20% of the amount required to kill you [2]. 
 Even though we are told that nausea and diarrhea are positive signs of detoxification when following the MMS protocol, you can be sure that they are actually the way our body tells us that we’ve just been poisoned. If you happen to vomit, then be reassured that it might have saved your life by way of avoiding a lethal overdose of MMS! 
 
			There are in fact 
			several testimonials of negative side effects and at least one death 
			related to MMS which you can easily find on the internet [2]. 
 
			It is actually by 
			killing red blood cells that the malarial parasite is killed since 
			it invades red blood cells. MMS probably kills the parasite and the 
			red blood cells. In fact, MMS consumers may develop anemia. 
 Why is it that we don’t see many efforts to remove this poison from the market when in recent times there has been a push to remove healthy vitamins and antioxidants by agencies like the FDA and Codex? MMS is more of a killer than antibiotics and has the potential to kill all kinds of microbes including viruses. 
 
			Such a killer weapon has 
			other consequences for your body, and killer therapies should never 
			be the first course of action when dealing with disease. They should 
			never be an option when we are able to take control of our health 
			through diet and appropriate, real alternative health therapies. 
 
			In short, MMS should 
			NEVER be a health treatment, alternative or otherwise! 
 HOCl is a powerful oxidant indeed, and as I mentioned before, it is the perfect example of a hazardous reactive oxygen species (ROS). Just as with MMS1, pathogens can’t develop a resistance to MMS2 and this is related to the powerful free radicals that it liberates. 
 Sound good? Well, not really. 
 MMS2 is meant to create high concentrations of this dangerous oxidative hypochlorous acid in our bodies in order to kill ‘powerful and incurable’ diseases, or so it is claimed. Unfortunately, the amount of HOCl that our body is already capable of producing on its own is dangerous enough. In fact, some of our white blood cells have toxic and damaging effects on our DNA through the formation of hypochlorous acid [6, 7]. 
 What is more, antioxidants are being studied and used successfully to block hypochlorous acid from creating DNA damage [7, 8, 9, 10]. 
 
			Yes, DNA damage! This is 
			dangerous to the extreme! 
 A particular transcription factor, NF kappa B, is influenced by free radicals or toxins which usually activate it. Once activated, this transcription factor goes into the nucleus of our cells where our DNA resides and may activate genes that might change a potentially malignant cell into an absolutely malignant cell [8]. 
 Hypochlorous acid (MMS2) activates this infamous NF-kappa B transcription factor, especially in the absence of antioxidants like taurine [11,12]. 
 
			NF-kappa B has also a 
			crucial role in inflammation, and thus ultimately it induces 
			illness. That MMS2 is promoted as a cure for cancer and many other 
			illnesses is just plain baffling. 
 By the way, the new airport security scanners can break apart our DNA’s double helix as well [14]. 
 
			Do we see a pattern 
			here? 
 One such study could not have a more appropriate name: 
 It has been well documented that there are a variety of disorders tied to the deleterious effects of hypochlorous acid in our bodies including diabetes, obesity, depression, hypertension, gout, kidney failure, and autism, among other conditions [12]. 
 This makes sense in view of our brief review of oxidation: wherever there is oxidative damage, there is disease. 
 What is more, our brains have a high oxygen demand, and thus are particularly sensitive to oxidative damage. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that our mind is often the canary in the coal mine. We often notice our body’s first inflammatory effects through brain fog, memory problems, and insomnia. 
 
			Hypochlorous acid has 
			the potential to be extremely neurotoxic to our brains, where it 
			literally oxidizes certain lipids and proteins, preventing them from 
			performing their functions and contributing to neurodegenerative 
			disorders like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple 
			Sclerosis [16]. 
 Its strong oxidative power makes the chemical very dangerous, because it can become explosive when combined with certain substances. Adding acids to a hypochlorous acid solution will precipitate this process, making the mixture unstable, releasing chlorine gas, and potentially causing an explosive chemical reaction. 
 
			The compound needs to be 
			handled carefully because it can release dangerous chlorine gas if 
			mixed with seemingly safe household products. Chlorine gas can cause 
			considerable health problems or death, especially in poorly 
			ventilated spaces, which is one reason why it is inadvisable to mix 
			household chemicals like bleach at random. 
 DMSO (Dimethylsulphoxide) is a solvent which enhances the availability and effectiveness of many drugs throughout our bodies, thus potentiating their effects. It has the capacity to distribute a drug deep into our bodies. The worrying thing is that DMSO also very easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. This property is exactly why DMSO is widely used as an effective transporter of certain substances into our brains that may not otherwise cross the mentioned barrier [19]. 
 
			Even though DMSO by 
			itself is a powerful antioxidant, keep in mind that it has the 
			ability to potentiate and carry a dangerous poison such as MMS1 and 
			MMS2 into the brain. By now, I hope that it is clear why this is a 
			very, very bad idea. 
 
			They have the right 
			to know what is going on within their bodies - and DNA - when 
			they take this Trojan Horse!
