Chapter 2 Safety Precautions

Keep MMS out of reach of children and pets. There have been no fatalities to date, however, a few children have been very sick after accidentally drinking a very large dose (not designated for a child) of MMS.

Never allow MMS (sodium chlorite solution) to sit in an unmarked bottle or glass. It has no smell and it is often difficult or impossible to tell the difference between MMS

Make sure all bottles of MMS, acid, etc. are clearly labeled so you can easily know what is in them. Ideally, the labels should be in different colors to make it easy to differentiate them. If using paper labels, it helps to cover them with Scotch tape, to avoid them disintegrating and falling apart, if leakage gets on them over time.

I have suggested the use of a spray bottle for the eyes as well as for topical use for other body parts. However, the formula for use in the eyes is significantly different than the formula for topical skin use. Be especially careful to keep these two different spray solutions very well marked. Never use the spray bottle intended for the skin in the eyes.

If you take too much MMS1 and have a serious Herxheimer reaction, (nausea, vomiting, excessive diarrhea) take Vitamin C as an antidote. Take 2 grams (2,000 mg) of Vitamin C at once. If the symptoms persist, you can then take another 1 gram of Vitamin C the following hour, and another 1 gram the third hour. Do not go over this amount of Vitamin C. Two other options to use as an antidote would be: Eat a fresh apple. Do not bite and swallow, this must be chewed very well. Or take 1 level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in 1/4 of a cup (2

If your home has a septic tank do not dump MMS waste down the drain as it can kill the bacteria in your tank. This makes a mess and is expensive to repair.

MMS liquid full strength out of the bottle (22.4% sodium chlorite solution) can irritate the skin. If it comes into direct contact with the skin, rinse it off with clean water. Try to avoid getting it on clothes as the concentrated solution can discolor them. A dilute solution may also discolor some fabrics, depending on the concentration and the fabric. (There are two exceptions to this rule of putting full strength MMS on the skin, you can do so for short periods of time to help burns and mosquito bites, see pages 245 and 196 for proper instructions.)

Avoid breathing in high concentrations of chlorine dioxide gas produced from the mixing of sodium chlorite and an acid activator. Chlorine dioxide gas easily escapes when MMS and activator are mixed and are not in a sealed container. It is best to avoid getting a direct whiff of it as it could cause coughing. Do not mix your dose directly under your nose or mouth. If doing the Bag Protocol, (see page 156) be especially careful not to directly breathe in the fumes. There are times when breathing in the gas in small controlled amounts (see page 159) are called for and it can be very healing to the lungs and sinuses, but do avoid this unless you are under a specific protocol requiring it and know what you are doing, as it is easy to inhale too much.

MMS protocols have been known to cancel out the effect of birth control pills.

When traveling with, or transporting MMS, activator acid, and other supplies necessary to do the protocols in

Calcium hypochlorite can ignite with even a very small spark when it comes in contact with organic materials. For example: if someone stuffed a rag (any type of cloth) down into the calcium hypochlorite jar and for any reason a spark from a candle, cigarette, or any other kind of spark hit it, it would cause an instant and extremely hot fire.

In case of a spill of calcium hypochlorite powder, clean it up with two dustpans, or one dustpan and a wet rag, but do not use a broom, because a spark could easily ignite the broom when in contact with the calcium hypochlorite powder.

Calcium hypochlorite is hygroscopic and will draw moisture from the air. If your supply becomes moist, discard it, but not down the drain if you have a septic tank. If you have a city sewer a small amount, about a liter, will not hurt it. You can discard it in a city dump, or with a city trash collector, after adding a small amount of water to it to insure that it cannot ignite.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes when in the powder form.

Do not directly breathe the fumes from calcium hypochlorite.

Do not make more MMS2 capsules than you need for a month, as the capsules will become brittle and can easily break open.

If you use a capsule machine to make up your MMS2 capsules (see pages 93-94, 274-278), use one that is made from plastic, as the calcium hypochlorite powder should not come into contact with metal. WARNING ●

For some (not all) people, citric acid has been known to cause significant stomach upset. Should this be the case, use 4% HCl as an activator for MMS instead of citric acid.

Our protocols call for 4% HCl. In this concentration it should not do serious damage if accidentally spilled on the skin, but it should, nevertheless, be rinsed off immediately.

DMSO is a solvent, and easily passes through the skin and into the tissues. It will also carry other substances along with it, so be careful what you have on the skin before handling DMSO.

If applying DMSO topically, be sure your hands and nails are clean and free from contaminants (including soap residue) when handling DMSO. You want to also be sure the area to which you apply DMSO is clean.

When washing an area of the skin before applying DMSO, it is best, if possible, to use natural, chemical-free soap to wash application areas and hands. Whether this is available or not, be sure any soap is completely rinsed off—or use no soap at all. Simply wash well (rubbing the skin) with clean water.

The best method to apply DMSO to the skin is simply to use clean dry bare hands when rubbing the DMSO into your body or on someone else.

If using bare hands to apply DMSO, do not wear finger nail polish. DMSO is a solvent that will not only dissolve

After handling DMSO, never wash it off with soap as it can carry the soap into the skin/tissues. Simply rinse the hands well with clean water.

Keep full strength DMSO out of your eyes.

Do not use most common gloves (rubber, latex, etc.) with DMSO. It can dissolve the gloves. Even dissolving a tiny bit of the gloves can then transfer the rubber or latex into your body. Gloves made of non-stretchable plastic are OK to use with DMSO. Normally DMSO will not hurt one’s hands, and gloves are not needed. (If applying frequently or in large amounts for some skin types it may cause the skin to become wrinkly, but this soon passes.)

Never add DMSO to an enema solution. The colon contains many toxins the body is flushing out. If you put DMSO in the colon, you can return some of those toxins back into the blood stream. WARNING ●
