It’s been over two years since I was first introduced to MMS. While that represents childhood and adolescence in dog years, it seems even longer in “MMS years,” given the tremendous rise in acceptance of the protocol. The possibility of a death being tied the ingestion of MMS has been long speculated, especially before there were many experienced users of the product and protocol. Now, after an estimated 1 million people have used, or are using MMS, tens of thousands of which reporting relief from such conditions as diabetes, psoriasis, asthma, pneumonia, malaria, tuberculosis, migraine headaches, parasites, AIDS and many forms of cancer, the day of accusation has come.

With all of the benefits that have been realized, and more to be learned, it did not come as a surprise when a death would be tied to the use of MMS, as happened in August 2009. The story has been published online, titled, “MMS KILLED MY WIFE” (www.latitude38.com/letters/200910.html), and in numerous forums. It is a heart-breaking story, such as it was written by Doug Nash about his beloved wife Sylvie. And yet, with what is now know about how MMS works, supported by thousands of cases, Mr. Nash’s conclusion as to the cause of Sylvie’s death doesn’t ring true. This doesn’t diminish his grief, but it does temper the efficacy of his conclusion, especially since both of them knew relatively little about the protocol.

Nonetheless, I wanted to offer my own condolences to Mr. Nash for his loss, no matter what the true cause is. I sat down before my video camera and offered a few more thoughts about this event, as it means that more people will be learning about MMS, and they, like Mr. Nash and Sylvie, should understand what they’re doing.

This is not to say that MMS can kill you, or that it should be used with fear. Any number of over-the-counter remedies, if used improperly, can bring about a swift death. Yet, the general medical and media response will be to call for greater awareness and care, not question whether the remedy is helpful. That would be the appropriate response in this case, as the real cause of death is ascertained.

Yet, we shouldn’t resist the questioning, for MMS doesn’t need anyone to defend it, any more than Mother Nature does. It will continue doing what it has done because it is a gift of Nature that, if understood and used wisely, can yield great benefits, and if used incorrectly, can bring tragedy. That’s the real truth here, because a tragedy did happen, and chlorine dioxide simply is.

Because of how it works and its small expense, MMS would be a highly effective remedy for any flu condition, whether man made (i.e., H1N1) or otherwise. This is because the flu’s catalyzing agent would inherently be of a low pH value, in the acidic spectrum, which is the specific range of chlorine dioxide’s reactivity.

MMS is not a “cure” for the many conditions that have improved as a result of its use. It simply reduces the factors — many of which are the result of over acidity — that contribute to the disease pathologies.
