Objectivity is good
Temodar is a prescription only drug in the US while MMS is an Over the internet product.

There are plenty of FDA approved drugs which I would not use and would caution others not to use which are known to cause cancer.

We each must research all drugs and/or 'cures' which we take and know the possible effects beyond the good one we hope for.

Informed desicion making is up to the individual.

Pete, I wasn't going to
Pete, I wasn't going to comment on this one...but, I thought your goal was to get toxic substances out of your body and go natural....this seems radical, even dangerous. Your scans are not picking something up. I know you're worried about your CEA but this may be a rise due to something else going on. I wish you nothing but the best.

OMG Pete! Did you read the
OMG Pete! Did you read the article that Marie posted!! Stay away from this product!!!

"FDA Warns Consumers of Serious Harm from Drinking Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to take Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid also known as “Miracle Mineral Supplement” or “MMS.” The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health."

Always try what you think is best for you and never give up!
Pete I admire your willingness to dig in and try alternative treatments that you feel are best for you. All of our bodies are so different and even our diagnosis are all a little different and no two cases are ever alike. Medicine is an educated guess and our doctors do the best for us but the really good ones will tell you they do not have black and white answers. It is all trial and error.

People have noted the side effects of the MMS but honestly if they dug in and found the side effects of many of the cancer chemo treatments they would probably be just as freaked out. Cancer is an ugly disease and it requires ugly treatments. But we all have to go through trial and error to see what works for us individually.

You work hard to keep your body as healthy as it can be and that will be such a benefit to you in the long run! You seem to do a great job at counteracting the bad with the good.

Good luck with your treatmnt plans and I hope you find the best one for you!

I always have freaked out taking meds.
taking chemo was a leap of faith which for me was a bad experience...I could have died from it, nearly died from it and have terrible effects that have never gone away. So I have refused anymore for mets...foolish, maybe, I am still alive, was it because of the original chemo...don't know, just felt I would not survive chemo again..they said 6 months to a year...still here over a year..my choice..don't know a thing about MMS, but I bet Pete does. I have a anti depressent I haven't taken because I read the side effects....as Coppercent said, don't read side effects of chemo.....nothing good....it will be people like Pete that may find us a safe treatment..I think we all should do what we decide is right for us and go for it.......my husband believes I am alive because of his juicing and whatever else he throws in there, I don't want to know unless I survive liver mets....bless you all and good luck with whatever route you choose...Pat

Good summary of issues
Safety and legal issues:
The Guardian has described MMS as "extremely nasty stuff, and the medical advice given is that anyone who has this product should stop using it immediately and throw it away. In Canada it was banned after causing a life-threatening reaction."[13] In 2009, an American woman travelling in Vanuatu took MMS as a preventative for malaria. Within 15 minutes she was ill, and within twelve hours she was dead. The island nation's public prosecutor, Kayleen Tavoa, did not press any charges as there were no specific laws banning the importation of MMS, but advised, "While every case is assessed on its own merits, I advise that any person who misuses MMS in Vanuatu in the future would be likely to face prosecution for potentially serious criminal offences. No person should ever give MMS to another person to drink without advising them of what it is they are drinking and of the serious risks to health that may arise if they decide to drink the mixture."[14][15]

In 2008, a 60-year-old Canadian man was hospitalized after a life-threatening response to MMS.[16] Following a May 2010 advisory which indicated that MMS exceeds levels deemed to be safe by a factor of 200,[17] a Calgary based supplier briefly stopped distribution. A February 2012 warning, which resulted in one website shutting down, advised: "There are no therapeutic products containing sodium chlorite authorized for oral consumption by humans in Canada."[18][19] In the UK, the Food Standards Agency also has released a warning, following the initial warning from Health Canada and a similar warning from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in which they stated that "MMS is a 28% sodium chlorite solution which is equivalent to industrial-strength bleach.[2] When taken as directed it could cause severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, potentially leading to dehydration and reduced blood pressure. If the solution is diluted less than instructed, it could cause damage to the gut and red blood cells, potentially resulting in respiratory failure."[20][21]

In December 2009, an alert was issued by the Belgian Poison Control Centre to the European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists. In response, an evaluation was performed by the French "Comité de coordination de toxicovigilance" in March 2010, warning about a dose dependent irritation and possible toxic effects. They also warned that patients affected by serious diseases could be tempted to stop their treatments in favour of this alternative treatment.[22] A similar notice was released in July 2010 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warning that the instructions for preparing the solution by mixing it with an acidic solution, or even orange juice, would produce chlorine dioxide, "a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment." Because of reports including nausea, vomiting, and dangerously low blood pressure as a result of dehydration following instructed use, the FDA has advised consumers to dispose of the product immediately.[8]

MMS is not approved for the treatment of any disease and according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, chronic exposure to small doses of chlorine dioxide could cause reproductive and neurodevelopmental damage.[23] A short term study found no effects in hematological or urine chemistry or in physical symptoms in human volunteers over a period of 84 days.[24] While studies of chlorine dioxide effects in humans are rare, studies on animal subjects are more common; chlorine dioxide has been shown to impair thyroid function and reduce T4 cell count in monkeys after 6 months.[25] Another study in rats resulted in reduced red blood cells count when exposed to 100 mg/L of chlorine dioxide concentration in their drinking water, after 3 months.[26] The United States Department of Labor restricts occupational exposure through inhalation of chlorine dioxide to 0.1ppm since concentrations at 10ppm resulted in deaths in rats, after 10 days while a case where a worker was accidentally exposed to 19ppm resulted in death.[27] According to the same organisation "chlorine dioxide is a severe respiratory and eye irritant in humans".[27]

[edit] JudgementsMMS was a cure touted by an Australian couple targeting the Seattle area. They ran websites using fake testimonials (accompanied by sexy vignettes), photographs, and Seattle addresses, to promote downloadable books touted as containing secret cures as well as selling bottles labeled "water purification drops" with a brand name of "MMS Professional".[28] The Washington State Attorney General's Office filed suit, and in conjunctions with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), secured a settlement of more than US$40,000 for at least 200 residents.[29][30] In the ACCC legal action, the presiding judge described the cures as quack medicine and found the claims on the websites "false, misleading or deceptive".[28][31]

A woman from north Mackay, Australia, without qualifications to practice, charged up to A$2,000 to inject patients with MMS in her garage which lacked proper facilities for sterilization, and went as far as advising a person to avoid proper medical treatment. The Queensland Office of Fair Trading got a court order prohibiting her from "making any claims she is able to treat, cure, or benefit any person suffering from cancer" and she was charged court costs of A$12,000.[32][33]
