Here are two sources reporting the FDA warning:

http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/02/fda-warns-against-using-miracle-mineral-solution/

FDA Press Releaase: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fda-warns-consumers-of-serious-harm-from-drinking-miracle-mineral-solution-mms-99656679.html

MMS is Chlorine Dioxide, which most people already know about. I actually used it. So here are my two cents about the warning.

MMS is hazardous, but so are antibiotics. I often get emails from people asking about the use of MMS. I personally used it as my last effort, when I knew I was already out of the woods. I did it as a last go around in my efforts to kill ANYTHING left.

With MMS the usual rules for taking it go as follows: you start slowly with about a drop a few times a day until you have reached about 15 drops of it, 3 times each day.  I think this is pretty much an average to above average weight limit protocol. So lightweights should probably half that as the max dosage.

I personally don’t heed any warnings the FDA gives because I don’t trust them. I don’t understand how they approve the use of things (for example: “anti”-depression drugs in general)…almost all the kids who go on shooting rampages are actually on antidepressants.. but you never hear about that in the news, now do you?  The FDA also states that certain contaminants in water (like Arsenic) are safe in certain levels….yeah, right!

I like to stay neutral on such hot topics.

My personal experience with MMS is that by the time I tried it, I was 90% over my Lyme symptoms and really just wanted to “clean house.” Boy, did I “clean house” with it. It’s like drinking pool water and I could tell it was toxic. Even though it’s natural, it’s still toxic in high quantities.  I used it with great caution, like most people should.

I was pretty healthy at the time when taking it and once I went into a loading phase of it (15 drops, three times a day) by the second day I started vomiting. I had hit my limit.  Some people with Lyme are so ill that they will take a drop of this and become extremely ill. The reason is because MMS kills more than just Lyme. It’s good against all kinds of “cooties.”  Most people with Lyme are filled with everything…everything that shouldn’t be there.

I NEVER suggest people who are really ill with anything take something like this because there are good alternatives that aren’t as damaging.  There are plenty of antimicrobials that are very effective against Lyme and other viruses when a Lyme plan is put together and you can address each specific issue.

I believe that MMS should be used as a last effort in the same way I did. Just to “clean house” if there are any doubts. If you can build up to the loading phase, you’re in very good shape as far as your pathogen load goes. However, it’s not something anyone who is seriously ill, should do.

Do I believe that Jim Humble (West Nile) went to Africa and cured all these people? Yeah, I do. I bet MMS does get it really good.

The reports about it being dangerous cite: nausea, vomiting, even dangerously low blood pressure caused by dehydration.

Have you ever seen ads on TV about the negative effects for, let’s say that birth control ring you stick up in your uterus? It’s everything from blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accidents and death. ..and analysts say NUVA’s earnings are going to grow at a rate of 40.85 percent this year!

I got the typical nausea and vomiting (but never low blood pressure caused by dehydration  from using MMS, because I drink a lot of water and take my electrolytes!). I was pretty satisfied with knowing I had licked the Lyme and probably some other viruses, protozoa, amoebas and cell wall deficient bacteria. Everyone has cell wall deficient bacteria in their blood…including “healthy people.” Because I stay hydrated and take medical grade electrolytes, I waited a day after my vomit spell and I was back to normal.

So if you use MMS obviously use your head and think clearly. If you take a few drops and fall to your knees, then you need to rethink your Lyme recovery attack plan.

Is MMS just another product to get blasted by the FDA because of its many uses and the fact you can’t sell it for much more than a few bucks? I’m not saying that. I have no idea.

I get into conversations all the time with my medical friends, those who are nurse practioners, dentists and doctors and their concerns over the supplement industry are that at least drugs are prescribed and the doses are controlled. A very valid point!

My feelings are let people decide what they want to do.  Don’t ever let the government control the supplement industry (because there WILL always be special interests that win in the end).

Taking the wrong things, natural supplements included can cause negative symptoms, but the benefits of using supplements to recover from all types of diseased states and health complications far outweigh the critics’ points.  You just have to use your head, do research and make your own educated choices. It’s no different than getting bad advice from a doctor or other health professional, because they too make mistakes…and sometimes deadly ones. I know everyone with Lyme disease has a story they would like to tell about what happen to them while dealing with the medical system.

Finding a good doctor to do diagnostic testing is important. So don’t skip this step, but for a full recovery, it’s very important to know everything that’s out there to have a complete plan for getting healthy.

If you use MMS, make sure it’s at the end of your Lyme journey…NOT the beginning or you will be may sorry for it will make you suffer for sure!

For most people with Lyme, it’s important to get off gluten. It’s just not really good for anyone…even those who are NOT intolerant.

I’m making these bars for an upcoming trip (http://www.elanaspantry.com/power-bars/). It’s slightly embarrassing to admit, but I’m going to the world’s largest Star Trek convention as a babe from the Starfleet Enterprise and I will be doing lunch with Klingons (trying to forge peace, I guess). If I am brave enough, I’ll post some pictures, but don’t count on it. I’m not sure I want to admit to how geeky I really am.

Elana, besides being a cooking babe, has a great website about cooking gluten free food and the best part is that it’s easy. If you are complaining about food costs (especially eating organic) you can try some of these recipes.

I personally love sports bars (which are usually NOT gluten-free), but when you eat 3 each day it gets expensive.  I’m making her “power bars” this time.  My sister likes sending me recipes and I believe she made her chocolate torte once.

Since I’m on a running break, I’ve been able to pump out the last odds and ends that need to get done before print time for my new book, The Tick Slayer. It’s looking pretty juicy. If you haven’t already signed up to get the update on the release info, please do at: www.TheTickSlayer.com – You are going to love it!  All I can say right now is that when I go back to training in the fall, it’s gotta be out! Once I start racing (and it’s a World Championship year), I’ll be racing and promoting Lyme Disease awareness through the book…full time.

If you are really ill and confused on what to do about your Lyme recovery, get coaching now while I still have the time! I will save you money, time and effort and streamline your recovery.  Why are you waiting?

During my running break, I finally can do my yearly detoxing, which includes going after metals, parasites (anything I’ve accumulated over this year) and doing some organ restorative work.  I hope to write about this in the upcoming newsletter. This is something I cannot do during training and racing. Your body sees detoxing as work and you do expend energy to detox, so obviously it doesn’t coincide with times I’m expending copious amounts of energy training/racing.

The good news is that this year I’ve had very little to no herx of any kind detoxing. Even my parents still go through a detox program each year and they didn’t even have Lyme.  I was expecting something…maybe a tongue coating, a slight fever, a few spots on the skin, fatigue, but haven’t gotten anything.  Ah, I’m so excited about this.  The changes I’ve made over the years have really made a huge difference and I knew they would.

The last newsletter I wrote about using geomag frequency to nullify chemicals in your water, tap or bottled.  I got an email from a very educated gardener about how my experiment was flawed. She said that I let one glass (the charged water) sit to “gas off” and that many gardeners let their tap water sit out to “gas off” chlorine and other chemicals. While I was happy for the interesting tip, I had to tell her that the water did not sit out. The roses were cut the same time, placed in the water at the same time immediately (one in charged water and one NOT in charged water.)  The point was to show how the chemicals were nullified, although not removed and lessened the damage done to the oxidation of one of the roses. The only variable in this experiment was the water being charged in one of the glasses for 12 hrs…that’s it.

I would not have had multiple variables as this lady implied. Geomagentic frequency is ancient. It’s used in all kinds of technology, but really hasn’t been applied to the health field, until recently. I was simply reporting my findings, which all of you have the right to know. Those who have cards can try it, so you can see it for yourselves.

I also mentioned in several newsletters that you need to get a RO unit for your house and also charge your water as a great way to treat your water CHEAPLY and very EFFECTIVELY. To go an extra step, ozonate it right before drinking especially if you’re ill!  See my water newsletter here: http://dietickdie.com/lyme-disease-wellness-with-water/

If you ever have a question about anything I write, please either post it on the blog as feedback and I will reply back, or email me personally, if you have concerns. I’m trying to educate, not force my opinions on anyone. I’m simply speaking as a person who has done very well beating an “uncurable disease” because I do think outside the box….far outside sometimes.

You can see the controversial newsletter here!

My information today is about using geomagnetics to treat drinking water…as drinking water is something you should be doing everyday.  If you can treat your water correctly, you’re already assisting your body on many levels to release waste toxins (which is often the culprit in Lyme Disease). The build up of neurotoxins and the inability to release such toxins (sometime mechanically, sometime genetically, and sometimes metabolically).

I’m not going to say too much about them, but let my pictures of my experiment do the talking (which I did several times with the same result each time). As you may, or may not know, micro clustering water is important. The geomag card that I have has a number of different beneficial geomagnetic frequencies built into it.  Besides the biggest ones like EMF/ELF protection, it also micro clusters water…essentially erasing the memory of water (water carries all the frequecienes of pollution (like that of plastics and chlorine) EVEN when it’s been treated and then you consume all of these negative frequencies).  Erasing the memory and restoring it to a more natural state (that found in nature) has very good benefits for a healthy body.

Check out my experiment below:

Placing my card on the spicket (a country word used to describe a water fixture).  I filled ONE glass with this water.

Tap faucet with Geomag Card

Here are my two glasses that I filled with water. The one on the LEFT (with the card underneath) was filled with water from the spicket that was charged. The glass on the right (off white label) was filled with tap water, completely untreated (no use of card at all)

The water in the glass on the LEFT was charged for 12 hrs. (by placing the card under the glass, that’s it).

Left is Charged, Right is NOT

The roses I cut from my backyard (both blooming at identical items and from the same stem).  Pretty right?

Blooming at indentical times

Day 1: Both looking pretty good.

Day 1

Day 2:  Both still looking pretty identical still (note that on Day 2 to take the picture I placed the card underneath just to take the picture).

Day 2

Day 3: I forgot to take the picture in the morning, and took it during the mid afternoon, so the light was a little lower than the other pictures.  The rose in the untreated water starts to fall apart.

Day 3

Day 4: Rose in untreated water is getting really squishy.

Day 4

Day 5: Rose in treated water is showing some browning, but the rose in the untreated water is just about done for.

Day 5

Close up rose in untreated water…totally dead.

Day 5- close up of rose in untreated water

This is one rose, in the same water for 5 days, so imagine if you could constantly replenish your cells daily with water that was used for the healthy rose. Do you understand the importance now? I know it’s hard to understand frequency because you just can’t see it, hear it or notice that it’s there (for the most part). I hope this little visual experiment makes you understand the impact that frequency has in our lives.

You can obviously do this experiment if you have a card. You do not have to charge your water for 12 hrs. In fact, each day, I just charge my water or beverages (even food) just by slipping the card under my glass or plate for a few minutes. That’s all you really need.

I still think it’s pretty amazing that an ugly card that looks like a CC card can do all of this, but it shows you how well frequency works on our health.  It’s a amazingly useful tool and I would say pretty darn important tool if you’re ill. I’m making it a “stocking stuff” for all my friends for the coming year!

I don’t usually get injuries (like bruises etc.). I do occasionally get muscle strains from running and can use my cards then.  My mother had a nasty bruise last year in which we used the card on her (check out her recovery photos). Have you ever seen a nasty swollen bruise heal up like this in a few days? Photos are here (scroll down to the middle of the newsletter)

Just recently I’ve been dating a gold miner (I know it’s pretty funny) and he fixes all of those enormous trucks (Euclid Caterpillars). He has been smashing his hands a lot and getting bruises, cuts, etc. from work.  I bought him a card and now he uses it every time he gets hit with something to keep the area from bruising and becoming swollen.  He loves it!

The frequencies on the card are for the following issues (it’s a 10 in 1 card), meaning you get a few thousand dollars worth of different healing frequencies for different specific purposes in ONE CARD. If you try to look up something comparable you’ll see a card or gadget trying to accomplish just one of the uses of this card, for either the same amount or for way, WAY more.

It’s something that if you want to do it, you just get good at wearing the card daily and uses it to charge your water each day etc.  A useful tool, is as good as the person implementing it’s uses. So don’t forget that!

Food For Thought:

From the moment we are created, we begin putting our gifts to work, but the situations in which we try to express these gifts are so complex that we fail many times before we succeed so everyone carries a burden of the fear of failing the divine. It has to be in every psyche so the first step towards getting out of our own way is patience with self and some humor and forgiveness because we rarely get it right the first time.

***I just recently got an email about someone ( a gardener) telling me that the experiment was flawed that I allowed the water in the charged glass to “gas off” to remove chlorine.  I didn’t let the water gas off.  In fact, the roses were cut and immediately placed in the two glasses. The ONLY variable for the experiment was the water in one glass was charged and the other was not. There were no other variables.  I am a science major after all.

The point of this was to show you that even with chemicals in the water (not removed or filtered), using a geomag card can NULLIFY the negative affects of consuming such chemicals. I am a proponent of water filtering and also using frequency.  If I were still sick, I would be doing BOTH.

Yesterday I rolled my ankle. I haven’t done this in a very long time (actually since college due to the stability exercises I do for my ankles and lower legs), but after a short track workout and then a subsequent tempo run I was tired and my body got lazy. I could swear the rock hit me, but I’m sure it was probably my fault.

The reason why I’m writing about this for the first part of the newsletter is my recovery from this injury. After I rolled it, I got up and walked. Then once somewhat comfortable, I jogged on it. In most rolled ankle cases, it’s a good thing to keep walking or even jogging, if possible (even if that means being in a little pain at the beginning). After I started jogging on it, I was able to go back to a comfortable run (although I knew my ankle was not in stellar shape). Then I made a critical mistake of NOT icing when I returned home. I was more concerned about calories and replacing what I lost during my workout.

It wasn’t until 8pm that night (while doing laundry) that I couldn’t stand on my ankle. I was so upset at myself for not taking care of the problem quicker and I was SURE that I had a serious injury. I was in a lot of pain and I think the inflammation finally caught up with me.

So quickly, I started an ice bath for my foot.  It was excruciating. (I cried.) After 15 minutes I started applying my geomagnetic card for 3-4 minutes and then icing intermittently. Furthermore, I drank 3 tablespoons of aloe mixed with MSM and a horde of fish/flax oils. (This was all for the inflammation.) Then for the finale, I had some DMSO gel (a natural organic solvent that can be found in vet stores).  I mixed arnica oil, aloe oil and a crushed up “expired” ibuprofen. (Because I so rarely ever take anything for pain I had one packet in an emergency kit in my car.) All of this was mixed with DMSO and applied to my ankle to “marinate.”  DMSO is a great carrying solvent. I was able to send the “goodies” straight to the source of the problem.

Then when I went to sleep I slept with my geomag card inside my sock on top of my ankle.

More Information On Geomagnetic Cards/Products (see the newsletter on GeoMag Cards)

Here’s another newsletter about Mineral Deficiency, but I post pictures of the geomag card working on a nasty bruise…see how quickly it helps heal a nasty bruise-WOW!)

I was POSITIVE I would wake up with a colorful ankle and major pain (and probably wondering how I was going to keep training/racing for the outdoor season), but this morning there was no evidence at all of an injury…just a little stiffness!  I’m planning on hitting it hard again on the track tomorrow.

The point I’m making is that healing can happen very fast under the right conditions. I took something internally, I applied something topically, I used geomagnetism and then on top of that I used a basic physical therapy practice- ice!  Attacking health issues from multiple approaches will ALWAYS produce more of a synergistic healing effect than just using ONE method. Think about this the next time you go see your doctor and always ask, “what else?”

I’ve mentioned before in other newsletters how important it is to take a good long look at everything that could be affecting your health. I found these guides and have already sent them to all of my friends and family. Please do the same by forwarding this email to them.

Part of getting healthy from Lyme Disease is limiting your exposure to all things toxic to the body and with less exposure your body can function the way it was designed (meaning killing invaders and keeping YOU healthy). It’s not the easiest thing to do at first (changing your choices), but since you are going to eat, use a cell phone, use toothpaste, etc. …might as well just CHOOSE the better option for your health.

I get loads of emails and I don’t mind going through it all (with help usually), but I’ve decided to post some questions in my newsletter and answer them for everyone.

Q: Can you detox while on antibiotics?

A: Yes, of course you can.  Detoxing with numerous protocols is something that everyone sick or NOT sick should be doing. There are obvious precautions you have to take while detoxing on sulfa-drugs. For example, let’s say you want to go jump in a sauna and while that is a great way to detox, I would never do it for more than 15 minutes at a time (depending on the temperature). You can become quite ill from the sauna. It can be draining and you sweat vital minerals and electrolytes out (which most people with Lyme are VERY deficient in already). This can exacerbate the problem and is the reason why I think so many people can get even sicker by doing this.

Last week I was in the dry sauna at the gym.  I often do this a few times a week as a detox, but also to get the lactic acid out of my legs after track workouts. I alternate between “spinning,” which is low resistance/ high turn over on a stationary bike and the sauna (fantastic way to recover from hard exercise). While in there, a little old lady who must have been 80 years old was complaining about her heart pills, how dizzy she was, and how she had terrible leg and feet cramps due to her medication.  It was 180 degrees in the sauna, but she refused to leave when I (politely) suggested she not do the sauna that day. I really didn’t feel like doing CPR on this old lady and thankfully she left after a few minutes.

If you are on meds your body is already fighting to maintain  its balance, so hitting the sauna at this time could create a very bad situation.

Safer detox methods are usually encouraged, but any kind of detoxing is still going to have some side effect. You just have to figure out what you can handle and always work your way up. Put your toe in first to test the water.

Q: If you were sick again, what type of doctor would you go see?

A: This could get me in trouble, but it’s my OPINION I would never see anyone conventional.  From my own experience, you don’t have to do a single bit of conventional tactics to get over Lyme, but you do have to think for yourself and you do have to implement (like the way an athlete is persistent in training, it’s no different).  I like Integrative Medical doctors and D.O. docs. They just seem to have their heads screwed on tighter and are accepting of the fact that there are methods of treatment that may not make sense to them, but WORK .   Theories are “just theories” but we use them everyday with modern technology.

If I knew I had an acute infection, I would consider a conventional doctor if I knew I could get a good quick dose of antibiotics, but knowing that most cases are chronic, I would start thinking the opposite of most people and ask but WHAT ELSE BESIDES BACTERIA?  That’s the key.

And lastly, anyone who could educate me and give me a heads up (been there and done that), I’d be ALL over that!…meaning, like I did before, I would take the entire situation into my own hands and find the solutions through any means necessary.

Q:  How successful are your coaching clients at getting healthy?

A: VERY. This is the interesting part. Most of them are young women with children. I’ve said this before in a newsletter. They are young, intelligent and often have a small child or two (so they have something to live for). They are terrified at being sick forever and are smart enough to realize that to get over this they have to do things “different.” They are also all very good implementers. There have only been a few coaching clients (that I know of) who aren’t implementing, but perhaps they are going at their own speed and this is important because when you start doing the RIGHT things, the only thing you cannot control is TIME, because time becomes a factor in recovery.

Just take the simplest issue here that I always hound people on in my newsletter: Nutrition.  Once you start repairing a nutrition problem, it will take at least 3-4 months to build your storages back up…meaning everything that was affected by NOT having certain nutrition needs TIME to now correct itself. It’s not overnight, although some people have “miraculous” energy increases immediately by just giving themselves the right “goods.”  But they have to be careful because while they may feel good, they are still in recovery mode. I made this mistake in my Lyme journey. I went back to training in 2008, post LYME and I didn’t have the STORAGES to do the training and I boinked and regressed slightly (enough to NOT contend in the Olympics). The journey was a tough lesson as it is for everyone, but I love being able to help people get through it faster and smarter than they would by themselves.

A few days ago I heard from someone I coached last year. I saw her in South Carolina right before I started racing the track indoor season (January sometime). She looked tired and was in the middle of doing her final “kill” (that’s what I call it). She did mention just feeling kind of drained. We talked for a while and I told her to keep going.  And this week when I heard from her, she says, “I am doing really well right now – I actually mowed my yard today –OMG I have incredible energy, like almost too much…. if that is possible..” She said she was still going forward with everything and still had some facial spasms left (which are also recoverable).   TIME was the only factor she and I could not account for. I knew it was only time that was the final factor, but I’m sure she is starting to see that now for herself.

But back to the question, I get a lot of really nice emails from coaching folks, when I hear back, it’s always positive.

Q:  I’ve been sick for almost 9 years now and I am feeling better than I did years ago, but feel like I should be way better off now.  How long must I be sick for before I get better?

A: When it comes down to TIME and HEALING, my suggestion to you is this: If you are progressing, you should be happy. However, if progressing at a snail’s pace is not making you very happy, you must look elsewhere for guidance and treatments. Now that I can look at coaching clients, I’ve seen the worst cases recover in less than a year. Not saying that’s possible for everyone, but I’ve coached deathly ill people and I have seen people turn it around quite quickly (and believe me when you have been chronically ill and you say you are recovered “fully” within a year…that’s quite significant). It took me 4.5 years and I’m still not “OK” with it taking me so long.
