MMS2 or CALCIUM
HYPOCHLORITE
by Walter Last
Dated August 15, 2009 Jim Humble
released the article ‘Introducing
Miracle Mineral Solution Two’ (jimhumble.biz/biz-mms2intro.htm).
In it he claims to have experimented with the common pool chemical calcium
hypochlorite for up to four years and found it beneficial, among others, for
overcoming prostate cancer and HIV. However, there are some gaps in the
information that Jim Humble has presented, and which I want to fill in with
this page.
When
calcium hypochlorite dissolves in water it forms hypochlorous acid. This is a
stronger oxidant and more bactericidal than chlorine, and it is also produced
and used by the immune system. Humble recommends using MMS2 in addition to and
not as a replacement of sodium chlorite which he now calls ‘MMS1’.
The
recommended dose is a small or size 0 capsule taken with one or two full or
large glasses of water. For prostate cancer it has been taken four times daily
for several weeks. For HIV the protocol was three activated drops of MMS1 each
hour for at least 8 hours daily plus one size 0 capsule of MMS2 taken every two
hours during this time. Blood tests for HIV after three weeks were supposedly
negative.
There
are discussions on the Internet whether to take the capsules before or after
meals. This is easy to answer from a chemical perspective. Hypochlorous acid
reacts immediately with hydrochloric acid to form chlorine. We definitely do
not want that. Therefore the idea is to get the capsule through the stomach as
quickly as possible before it dissolves. When taking a large amount of water on
an empty stomach then it goes through without much delay and the capsule can
dissolve in the duodenum. But after having eaten it dissolves in the stomach
and you may get a burp of chlorine gas. This may not be a problem for those who
have little or no stomach acid, but it is not worth taking the risk.
Therefore
the most important rule:
Always take the capsule
with plenty of water on an empty stomach.
Another potential problem that I can think of is that
the capsule could get stuck in the esophagus and starts dissolving and
irritating the inner lining. Therefore always drink sufficient additional water
after swallowing the capsule, and at any sign of discomfort in the esophagus
drink plenty more water.
The advantage of MMS2 is that it does have no taste
effect and does not potentially cause nausea like MMS1. Furthermore, it is
cheap and easy to buy. The disadvantage is that the white powder has a strong
chlorine-like smell which can be a problem when filling the empty capsules.
This should be done in a well ventilated area, or possibly outside. Even when
not touching the powder, the skin can become irritated during filling, and it
is advisable to wear plastic gloves. The calcium hypochlorite powder needs to
be kept very dry as it becomes very corrosive when wet and the same applies to
the filled capsules.
Calcium hypochlorite is also available as very big
(200 grams) and hard tablets which need to be smashed up with a hammer and
filled into capsules. In this form there is less of an offensive chlorine
smell.
Because hypochlorous acid reacts so strongly with
organic matter, it is unlikely that it enters the bloodstream as is the case
with chlorine dioxide released from MMS1. Therefore I believe it acts mainly by
killing microbes and parasites in the intestinal tract. This should be very
beneficial with colon cancer, Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel
conditions. But it also means that it kills our beneficial intestinal microbes
as well, and it will be advisable to use additional probiotics and lactic acid
fermented food when taking MMS2 in a high dose and for a longer period.
However, various oxidation products may be absorbed
from the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they may still have an
antimicrobial effect. Being a very powerful microbicide and oxidant, I would
not take MMS2 routinely just as a precaution. I would also take extra
antioxidant foods or supplements when using MMS1 or 2, but of course separated
by a few hours from each other.
MMS1 and 2 are great additions to the arsenal of
those who prefer natural medicine and want to heal themselves of one of the
many medically incurable conditions. But they are not harmless, and you cannot
just follow the orders of a doctor or naturopath. Before using them you must
inform yourself and be prepared to take responsibility for your actions.
