Latest Update

June 21, 2008 - June 23, 2008 Felt like garbage. Flare ups like these do come up every few years. But this one was freakin' terrible. The abnominal cramps were probably the worst I have ever had. As far as the urgency was concerned, there wasn't really much at all. Although there may have been, but attention was diverted because of the cramps. Monday was probably the worst day. I could barely even move.

June 24, 2008 (Tuesday) I probably had a piece of candy and a few peanuts, but that was all I ate since Sunday (June 22, 2008). I did some (MORE) research while at work about ANYTHING that could possibly help with my condition. History: I have purchased many things that seemed to possibly work (I even went to Lourdes, France (the healing baths / fountains) to get healed that way, but to no avail) for healing myself. I have purchased an Ozone generator, Elaine Gotschall's SCD Book (I was on that diet for 6-8 months with virtually no change at all (I know that it states to stay on in for at least a year or something like that)), numerous vitamins and supplements, and (now) a juicer. So, I came across a youtube video about this thing called MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution). So I read more and more about it and decided to try it, since it was considerably less expensive than almost everything else I purchased. I purchased it from ebay and another source (not exactly sure where). After work, I just went home and pretty much layed around all night. It hurt to do ANYTHING. I didn't eat anything that night.

June 25, 2008 (Wednesday) Still didn't have anything to eat. I had maybe a cup of water all day, but that was it. I was so thirsty and hungry, whenever I caught a whif of any food, I took a 'food journey' in my head. My voice kept fading in and out (I'm assuming because my mouth was so freakin' dry because of the dehydration). I came across another youtube video about some guy who bought a juicer and now juices every day. He has been symptom free for something like 5 years. His success prompted me to purchase a juicer. So, after work, I went ahead and purchased a Juiceman Jr. from Target. That night I had some juices (Strawberry / Carrot / Spinach). I remember that I could hardly drink much, and got full very quickly. I still felt like crap.

June 26, 2008 (Thursday) I still felt like crap. I was so weak. It was a real task to just get out of bed, let alone taking a shower and getting ready for work. I was out of breath just from getting out of bed. Barely any liquids, no foods, and hardly any sleep. I was getting up out of bed at least once every 2 hours, sometimes every 30 to 45 minutes to go to the bathroom. Thank god the bathroom was only about 8 to 10 feet away. I tried to go for a walk that night and was able to, but had to pace myself. I was still very very tired. On my way back, went to Jewel to get some more fruits and vegetables (to juice). Had some more juice, but had to force 'feed' myself, because the Spinach juice tastes TERRIBLE!

June 27, 2008 (Friday) I finally felt a little bit better, but still pretty much couldn't move. I was fatigued like nobody's business. When I arrived at home HOME, I received GOOD NEWS!!! THE BACK-ORDERED SULFASALAZINE (Salazopyrin-EN 500mg) SHOWED UP AND SO DID THE MMS!!! I almost cried at the very sight of the arrivals because I was in such bad shape. It was literally a sight for sore-eyes (my eyes were in pain because of the lack of sleep). So, I went ahead and read the MMS directions. I made the Citric Acid and immediately mixed the one drop solution with some distilled water and drank it. At this point, I was so weak and tired that I just wanted to make the MMS solution and drink it that way I could have it work on me ASAP. Once I mixed it, I immediately recognized the scent of the solution (it was very strong). It smelled just like the Ozone generation process (Ozone). At that point I didn't have any doubts about whether it was safe or not (not that it really mattered, I would have drank it anyway).

June 28, 2008 (Saturday) Within about 15 to 17 hours of my first consumption of MMS, blood was barely noticeable in my stool, which, after the week from hell that I just had, was remarkable. First thing I did in the morning was create the one drop MMS solution and drank it (on an empty stomach). I felt a lot better, but was very uneasy about how I felt. I was hoping that it wasn't just a 'mirage' of feeling well.

June 29, 2008 - July 7, 2008 So far, so good. Here's the regime of MMS solution that I used thus far: one drop - 3 days two drops - 3 days three drops - 2 days four drops - 2 days I now have fairly solid stool. It's a weird sensation when you haven't felt it in a while.

July 16, 2008 MMS - 6 drops Peanuts Chocolate - Dum Dums Lolly Pops Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy Chinese (Orange Chicken / White Rice / Beef Fried Rice) Today when I took the MMS, I cut back on the distilled water to MMS ratio and felt a little nauseous. I did take it on an empty stomach as I normally do. My stomach was feeling uneasy. I will probably try that again, just to make sure the MMS wasn't diluted, like I feel like it was when I took it at lower dosages.

July 17, 2008 MMS - 6 drops Peanuts Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy Chinese (Orange Chicken / Beef Fried Rice) Today I took my final for CSC451 at Depaul University (Chicago, Illinois, USA, EARTH). I think I did pretty well. Anyway, I'm currently in Graduate School for a Master of Science Degree in Computer Science (M.Sc.).

July 18, 2008 MMS - 7 drops Pretty much all garbage food Pop-tarts Cheeze-its

July 19, 2008 MMS - 7 drops Pretty much all garbage food Pop-tarts Two Granola Bars Home-Run In Pizza The onset of the worst smelling gas I have ever had. I hope it's just the dead bodies of the nasty little creatures / bugs that have been living inside me for the last 10 years.

July 20, 2008 MMS - 8 drops Pretty much all garbage food Pop-tarts Two Granola Bars Chocolate Chip Cookies Two Mozzarella Sticks (Volleyball Playoffs) I have the worst smelling gas I have ever had (I almost killed myself). I hope it's just the dead bodies of the nasty little creatures / bugs that have been living inside me for the last 10 years. DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a weird sensation toward my gut / chest. It felt like I had to cough, but when I did cough, it was a very weak cough.

July 21, 2008 MMS - 8 drops Salazopyrin - 4 Pills (2000 mg)(Sulfasalazine) Calcium (1200 mg) Centrum - 1 Pill Two Granola Bars Subway Sandwich (Turkey Breast / Ham on Wheat Bread (Tomatoes, Lettuce, Mustard, Onions, Green Peppers, Black Pepper, Oregano)) I have continued bad gas. I still hope that it's just the dead bodies of the nasty little creatures / bugs that have been living inside me for the last 10 years. DIE!!! YOU MISERABLE LITTLE BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I continued to have the weird sensation toward my gut / chest. It still feels like I have to cough, but when I did cough, it was a very weak cough. I have a feeling that these are the "side-effects" that everybody was talking about. My assumption is that I haven't felt them (the side-effects) because my MMS dosage wasn't high enough to actually damage that many bugs. However, now at these higher dosages, I will begin to notice quite a few changes. If I remember, I will do 9 drops tomorrow. Also, I found out that you can make your own MMS. Here are the specs: Make your own MMS: 72% Distilled Water / 28% Sodium Chlorite (You can purchase Sodium Chlorite in bulk) To activate: 1 (MMS) to 5 (Vinegar / Lemon Juice / Citric Acid) drops It is actually also used to clean water from bacteria / viruses.

Which seems to finally be catching up with me. That and the lack of exercise. I occasionally try to run up the stairs at work. Lately, I've been out of breath after only running up about 20 - 25 stairs. I'll have to get to this whole work out gig again. I busted out my guitars yesterday (just after laundry) and played those for about a half hour. It was refreshing. I think I may take a bath again today or go to the beach. I went to the beach a few days ago (Monday actually). Although I wasn't there for very long, I had a pretty good time. We'll see. ;-)

July 25, 2008 MMS - 9 drops Salazopyrin - 5 Pills (2500 mg)(Sulfasalazine) Calcium (1200 mg) Centrum - 1 Pill Pepe's

July 26, 2008 MMS - 10 drops McDonald's Breakfast (AWESOME!!!) A burrito from some Mexican joint in La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA 2 Dairy Queen Blizzards (Butterfinger / Heath Bar) Ate pretty much nothing but junk food.

DIE LITTLE BUGS!!!! Have had a bubbly tummy so far. Going drinking after work today with the boss and co-workers, which should be interesting. By the way, just the thought of MMS now is starting to make me sick. It is so gross to smell or taste. After I consume it every morning, I usually burp it up a few times and it tastes / smells gross.

July 30, 2008 MMS - 11 drops Salazopyrin - 5 Pills (2500 mg)(Sulfasalazine) Calcium (1200 mg) Centrum - 1 Pill Dum Dum Sucker The whole MMS routine is really starting to get to me. THE SMELL, THE TASTE, BURPING IT UP, IT'S REALLY STARTING TO KILL MY SENSES. Not in a bad way, but in a way that is just distasteful (or not very pleasant). I had a little bit of depression today for about two hours. That stuff sucks!!!! I think I'm starting to burn out! I need a FREAKING vacation! Seriously, that's not a joke. It's mainly these bull**** classes. Work is fine and home life is fine, it's just the classes. I'm starting to figure out patterns now that I have had my whole life. Actually today was kind of a big thing. Now I know that the whole depression feeling for me is because of a lack of sleep, too much stress, and not enough free time; basically the symptoms of being burned out, without actually burning out yet. I think I might go to the beach today, that was really a great time the one time that I went. AND I ONLY WENT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES!!!

August 05, 2008 MMS - 13 drops Salazopyrin - 5 Pills (2500 mg)(Sulfasalazine) Calcium (1200 mg) Centrum - 1 Pill Eliche (a type of pasta) and spaghetti sauce Peanuts Well my homework ended up taking a little bit longer than I expected. Thus, I still went out for a run / walk anyway, but it wasn't for very long. It was maybe 2 miles / 25 minutes. Once again... roughly 1 mile = 100 calories.

In these larger dosages, the taste and smell are very apparent. Believe it or not... NOT ONE WORRY ABOUT WHERE THE NEXT BATHROOM WAS, ON THE WAY TO MINOCQUA (LAC DU FLAMBEAU), WISCONSIN. FOR ME, THAT WAS HUGE!!! THAT'S SIX HOURS IN A VEHICLE!!! ;-) STOPPED ONCE FOR GAS, AND THAT WAS IT!!!

August 08, 2008 (Friday) - Mini Vacation! MMS - Took a day off (totally) 2 Strips of bacon 6 Pop tarts Other junk food In Minocqua (or Lac Du Flambeau), Wisconsin for my mini vacation. I must admit, the change in bowel movements / gas / firmness of stool are just a few elements to take into account when going to the washroom. I have actually had to change the way that I wipe after going.

August 19, 2008 (Tuesday) MMS - Yet another day off Coffee Rio Latte Candy - Sugar free Forno - Sausage Pizza 2 DUM DUM Suckers Pasta - No sauce I fear MMS because of the taste. I start to cringe whenever I think about MMS BECAUSE IT TASTE SO DISGUSTING!!!! That's actually why I'm taking so many days off. I just thought about it, I think I should actually start lowering my dosage. So, tomorrow I think I will do 14 drops again. I

August 20, 2008 (Wednesday) MMS - 15 drops (late night, about 10:30 p.m. CST) Peanuts Peanut M&Ms Pasta - No Sauce 3 Mini Bowls of Rice Chex (with Milk, I might add) Uh-oh... I think the UC might be coming back. Maybe too much junk food. Maybe too many days off of the MMS. Either way, for a while I forgot that I had it. I will definitely be doing the 15 drops for a while longer. The reason I'm concerned is because I think I saw some more mucus in my stool today. I could be wrong but we'll see. I also had a bunch of gas issues today. Which, at this point, I'm not panicking about just yet. Especially since the people on the chat boards that I read said that they were on it for two months. I'm only about a little bit over a month. I will say now though that, the instant that I suspected it was coming back (which was just now), I was immediately able to overlook the smell and taste of MMS. It may also have something to do with me actually doing exercise. At this point there are just too many variables in play. Jogged 6 miles tonight. Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

August 21, 2008 (Thursday) MMS - 15 drops (on an empty stomach at about 7:00 a.m. CST) Peanuts Coffee Rio Candy (sugar free) Nick's Fish Market (Clark / Adams - Downtown Chicago) Filet Mignon, Mashed Potatoes, 4-5 Pieces of Garlic Bread 2 Very strong Cosmopolitans WHOA!!! I just went to the washroom and there was a deluge of water that came out while attempting to go number 2. My first thought was, GREAT IT'S BACK AGAIN!!! But then I thought, "there really wasn't much urgency at all to go". It was some serious diarrhea, virtually all water. Then I thought about my routine and came to the conclusion that I'm probably "herxing" (also known as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction). It "occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body as bacteria (typically Spirochetal bacteria) die, due to antibiotic treatment." (from WIKI) Especially since I took 30 drops in less than ten hours. Anyway, I did feel a little bit odd earlier but that it was a bit of gas. I'm new to gas again because it has been so long since I have been able to excrete it. By the way, there was a significant jump in stress due to finals this week and a certain someone contacting me from way back when (KRN). We'll just say once I read who an automated text-message was from, my heart instantly almost beated out of my chest and onto my desk. Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

August 22, 2008 (Friday) - My Father's Birthday MMS - 15 drops (on an empty stomach at about 7:15 a.m. CST) Jimmy John's Vito, Sprite, Bag of Jimmy John's Barbeque Chips More that I can't remember... This diarrhea has been keeping up, right along with the seemingly excessive amounts of MMS that I have been taking. I have to take at least a day off, because it's getting bad, not to mention the taste of the stuff. Believe it or not though, the protocol for using this stuff says that you should make your way to something like 15 drops 3 times a day. WOW!!!

August 23, 2008 (Saturday) - Jackie's Wedding MMS - 0 drops (I needed a break) Omelette (Green Peppers, Onions, Cheese, Ham) A Few Bacon Strips 2 Bread Rolls Chicken Dinner, Salad, Mashed Potatoes (at the wedding) A Bottle (a whole one) of some cheap red wine Jackie's wedding was pretty interesting. Really, all I have to say is that's why they call Alcohol - 'Liquid Confidence'. Frequency of trips to the washroom were up a few. Urgency was there too, but it wasn't UC bad. I needed a break, especially since I only had 15 drops for 3 days straight and the diarrhea was very bad (still very watery)!

August 24, 2008 (Sunday) MMS - 0 drops (continued the break) 4 Pieces of French Toast Mini Bowl of Oatmeal Chipotle Chicken Burrito (Rice, Pinto Beans, ) Jamba Juice - Strawberries Wild (Medium) Tortorice's Pizza It was a slower day. Mainly a recovery day. I felt VERY VERY GOOD ABOUT MYSELF. It was because of the wedding. Honestly, it was the dance floor. I always get like this after semi-emotional events, but this was a wee bit different. The major transition was when I went on the dance floor at the wedding. Nobody knew who I was, but then, after the dance floor, it seemed as though everyone knew who I was. Anyway, that's for another day. Overall a pretty good day.

August 25, 2008 (Monday) MMS - 15 drops Didn't eat anything Today I did 15 drops again. Today was a little bit different though. There were other days that my gag reflex was controllable. Today, however, was a different case. I drank it and I kept burping up the nasty taste. I couldn't hold it anymore, so I ended up throwing it up. It was disgusting!!!! But this stuff is SOOOOO NASTY!!!! There's just no way that I will be able to do 3 times 15 drops per day. Besides, I think the lower dosages (compared to the protocol) have actually pretty much cured me, if not totally cured, at least temporarily. The protocol also states that you're taking too much if diarrhea continues for longer periods, and you should step the dosage down. 15 drops for 3 days straight is just enough, I'm definitely going to step it down. I was originally planning on going at least a week on 15 drops a day, but that is just way too much. Also, today, since I had two days off of MMS, my stool is back to a more solid state. Although it still has that same aroma that has been around during this last week. I met with a very special person tonight for some wine at her apartment. I had about half to 60% of the bottle. A Syrah - red wine. She said her uncle is the one who runs the winery (Not Uncle Bobo). By the way, my zapper finally showed up. We'll see how that goes.

August 26, 2008 (Tuesday) MMS - None (recovering from yesterday's throw up) Forno - Sausage Pizza Rice Chex - with Milk Woke up with a little headache. Probably because I haven't had anything to eat in about 36 hours. Also, haven't drank much water. However, it's not because of anything dietary, I just totally forgot to eat.

August 27, 2008 (Wednesday) MMS - None (recovering) Some peanuts Giordano's Pizza (Sausage / Pepperoni / Mushrooms) So much for stepping the MMS down. It's just not working out. This stuff is just too nasty. I know I'm a wimp and am very selective with what I eat, but this stuff is just bad.

August 28, 2008 (Thursday) MMS - 10 drops Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy I think I'm going to start zapping today. It should be interesting. I decided to step the MMS down significantly (to 10 drops). Even at 10 drops I can barely stomach this stuff.

August 29, 2008 (Friday) MMS - 10 drops Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy Chicken Tacos (Guac, Onions, Tortillas, Serrano Peppers) Pinot Grigio Had a few candies throughout the day. Then I had dinner with my lady friend (which was added stress I might add). Last work day on summer hours.

August 30, 2008 (Saturday) MMS - 10 drops Super Burrito (pepper, sour cream, beef, beans) Horchata - (rice water - THIS STUFF TASTES AWESOME!!!) Strawberry Orange Juice Assisted with setting up my Uncle Louis' computer and HD TV / PS3. I was at his house for a few hours. His son (my cousin) is VERY INTELLIGENT. If he continues on the path that he is on, he will work wonders throughout his life. Anyway, I did a Zapping session today. The zapper felt weird. Believe or not, I felt a little tired when I got done. I have a "three-speed" zapper (15 hz, 2.5 khz, 30 khz, at least I think those are the speeds). On the first setting (15 hz) there were some pretty serious jolts going through the handles (I have the handles). On the second setting (2.5 khz), there were very small jolts, but my arm felt like it was cramping up at first. After the cramping sensation I was fine. On the third setting (30 khz), I almost didn't even feel it. I did the 7 minutes on (15 hz), 20 minutes off, 7 minutes on (2.5 khz), 20 minutes off, 7 minutes on (30 khz), then done, plan. I added wet paper towels to the handles as somebody recommended (I'm not sure where I read it).

August 31, 2008 (Sunday) MMS - 0 drops 4-5 Italian Sausages / Buns - with Yellow Mustard 4 Hotdogs / Buns - with Yellow Mustard Jameson Irish Whiskey A few Jager-bombs Tequila Rose (Tastes like Strawberry Milk) Labor day party / cookout thingy. I had mainly grilled stuff. I'm finding that even at 10 drops, the MMS affects the state of my stools. 15 drops is just way too much for me. I think that's for a larger human being. I'm only 5'10" 180 lbs. (81.6 kg). I'm not that big a dude. The 15 drops that I had for 3 consecutive days was freakin' killer.

September 01, 2008 (Monday) MMS - 0 drops Juice / Lemonade Tortorice's Pizza (Pepperoni) Labor Day

September 02, 2008 (Tuesday) MMS - 0 drops Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy 3 Bowls of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds Hot as heck today. Sweat all day. Probably have low water levels, but I feel fine.

September 03, 2008 (Wednesday) MMS - 0 drops Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy Saltwater Taffy Half a bottle of Red Wine Woke up this morning and there was a little bit of gas / urgency. By no means was it even close to UC, but it was there. The stool was solid once again. It seems that when I back off of MMS for a bit, I actually see how much progress I have made. When I'm actually on MMS, it still feels like I'm not over the UC yet. I believe the main reason that I am having this minor urgency is because I'm still learning how to manage the gas, after all, it has been about 10 years. It's still weird figuring this stuff out. Now I know why babies cry when they have gas, they probably don't know how to manage it.

September 04, 2008 (Thursday) MMS - 0 drops Saltwater Taffy Forno Sausage Pizza Woke up this morning and there wasn't much at all, other than tiredness. I attribute that to staying up until about 2:30 a.m. this morning (it was a long but nice night - session). Today's mood / feeling is "eh"... It must be because I'm so tired. Anyway, I'll try to do another Zapping session and keep you up to date on it.

September 05, 2008 (Friday) MMS - 0 drops Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy Saltwater Taffy Suparossa - Meat Raviolis About 5 Long Island Ice Teas Had dinner with my parents this evening. Not really much to talk about as far as digestive system concerns.

September 06, 2008 (Saturday) MMS - 0 drops French Toast McDonald's Hamburger 1 Pack of Plain M&M's 2 Regular Arby's Roast Beefs 2 Mozzarella Sticks I did another Zapping Session. I did the 7 minutes on (15 hz), 20 minutes off, 7 minutes on (2.5 khz), 20 minutes off, 7 minutes on (30 khz), then done, plan. Once again, I added wet paper towels to the handles as somebody recommended (I'm not sure where I read it). Not much else to write about.

September 11, 2008 (Thursday) - RIP 09-11 VICTIMS MMS - 0 drops Peanuts Sugar Free Latte Coffee Rio Candy Yogurt Rice Chex with Milk Went out to find a park to kick the ball (I'm a retired soccer player) around at, but didn't find one until about 7:00 p.m. My... it's starting to get dark early. I still went out for some sort of exercise. Did a few moves, pulled a few rainbows, shots on goal, and the like. I must say, for not touching a ball in years, my touch is still "money". I have always prided myself on be able to handle the ball with precision (anyway, side note). On the flip side, I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE I FEEL LIKE THIS WITHOUT ANY DRUGS OR MMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!!!! It has hardly been any time and I have pretty much forgotten what it was like to have UC. The minor urgency is also slowly subsiding. I attribute that to being just the internal wounds / irritation that the bugs have left being healed by my body itself "slowly but surely". I also read and viewed some images somewhere of the damage that UC does to your digestive lining. It showed the before and after images of someone with it and then "miraculously cured". It showed tiny microscopic holes / indentations in the lining of where the bugs were residing after being healed. Thus, I'm pretty much set on the concept I stated earlier. Maybe I'm assuming too much, but before long, I'll be totally normal. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't really done much (no drugs, no MMS, no zapping), just keep on eating yogurt. I read somewhere that the zapping thing kills both good and bad bacteria. Thus, when you eat yogurt, you get some of the good bacteria in you. That's why I'm eating yogurt so often.

September 19, 2008 (Friday) MMS - 0 drops Half of a Forno Sausage Pizza - (same as the others above) Coffee Rio Candy Dinner with Kristy (Pizza) Still getting used to this "gas management". This is really difficult! I thought it was going to be alot easier to figure out what means what, in terms of bodily functions. Since it has been so long, I'm not really sure how long I should actually be waiting in order to go to the bathroom. When the urgency comes, I think back to the last time I went to the bathroom. Lately, it has been up to 10-12 hours, sometimes even more! This is kind of a good thing in that it means that the urgency isn't constant (like it pretty much used to be), but now, since I have been used to the serious urgency for the last 10 years, I don't know what it feels like to have just normal urgency. Essentially I don't know when the turning point for the normal person (between going to the bathroom and "holding it just a little bit longer") is. It might sound easy, but it is definitely taking longer than I expected. I may still be healing on the inside too. From some of my research, I believe I read somewhere that your insides take quite a while to heal, as opposed to a minor cut or bruise. So I'd say I'm still at least months away from being totally healed.

September 20, 2008 (Saturday) - October 3, 2008 (Friday) MMS - 0 drops No Drugs No Zapping Basically everything above in different patterns At this point, it doesn't really matter what I eat. I have had a whole week straight of cereal and milk, which used to give me serious issues. I have been on a sandwich "diet" for about the last 5-6 days and that hasn't been much of a problem. There is one thing that I'm noticing that isn't really working out. About a week ago I started drinking Dole Pineapple juice and I think that is making me have a few issues. By no means am I having UC type issues, but it has made the urgency go up slightly. Now, I am still testing quite a few things and as far as I'm concerned I'm not fully healed anyway. I still have plenty of tissue internally that will need at least 6 months to heal, probably more. Anyway, I will continue to keep you posted.

October 4, 2008 (Saturday) - October 13, 2008 (Monday) MMS - 0 drops No Drugs No Zapping Basically everything above in different patterns Nothing big to report. Just the same old same old.

October 14, 2008 (Tuesday) - October 16, 2008 (Thursday) MMS - 0 drops No Drugs No Zapping Mainly sandwiches and water October 16, 2008 Sandwich Some Noodles Cereal With Milk Well... This is really the first sign of anything bad. This is the most stressed I have been in quite a while, so that's really what I'm attributing it to. On a side note, I have tried a few other different juices and those seem to have some what of the same effect on me as the pineapple juice. Over the course of the last few days the gas control has been getting a little bit weird. The urgency is there, but I can still hold it without a problem. On October 16, 2008, I had blood in my stool. I was pretty pissed off about it. I think I still start up with the MMS again, but I'll start small.

November 18, 2008 (Tuesday) MMS - 7 drops (Morning) - 9 drops (Evening - Just before bed) No Drugs No Zapping Coffee Rio Candies Ham Sandwiches Alright, so this UC stuff seems to be coming back. So much for the good news. I have started the MMS stuff back up again too. It turns out it may not have been the stress (or maybe just a little bit). The stool blood is back and some of the symptoms are back as well. Either way, I think I stopped the MMS detail a little bit too early, which sucks. I took 7 drops of MMS this morning on an empty stomach, so we'll see how it goes. Either way, it's still not as bad as the "full-blown" issues that I started out with. It's still very manageable, but now I'm back to worrying about it. MY NEW ADVICE IS: DO NOT STOP TAKING MMS TOO SOON!!!!! I KNOW IT'S DISGUSTING, BUT 'NO PAIN, NO GAIN'! After tasting it again this morning, it is still SOOOOOOOOOOO DISGUSTING!!!! Then, since you can't really eat anything right afterward, you have the delight of consistently burping it up for a few minutes (somtimes an hour(s) later). So, basically, I think I quit just a little bit too early. Besides I never actually finished the full protocol. I could only do 15 drops a few times. I just could not get past the taste (I often threw it up). I am starting over, and this time I will have to get it done. One protocol states "After achieving 15 drops twice per day for five days, some people proceed to three drinks per day for a few days depending on how badly they want full detoxification", Uh... YEAH, that definitely is an achievement. I'll keep you posted. This time I'm starting at 7 drops though.

November 20, 2008 (Thursday) MMS - 9 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Coffee Rio Candies 2 Ham Sandwiches Cereal And Milk A lot of blood in my stool (all over again). This whole UC thing seems to be back with a vengeance.

November 21, 2008 (Friday) MMS - 10 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Coffee Rio Candies Pretzels Suparossa - Meat Tortellini The urgency has intensified over the course of the last few days. I'm not sure if I mentioned this about going on MMS the first time, but there is a sensation that resembles eating something very spicy the day before. In other words, my anus feels like it's on fire right now. I attribute it to all of the dead and dying bugs that were inside of me (basically a herx side-effect). The good news is that my stool is already starting to get more solid now. WOW!!! That was pretty quick!!! SIDE NOTE: I was browsing around on youtube a while back and posted on one of the videos how (the first time through) I was pretty much cured of UC. There was some dude that said something to the effect of "Oh... That's the way UC is... One day it just disappears." Believe it or not, that was another reason that I let the bugs come back. See, I'm still trying to understand the whole MMS / UC correlation. Since 'modern medicine' doesn't have a cure (other than totally cutting it out), this seems like the only option. Also, I ordered 3 bottles of this stuff and I'm not even half way done with one of them. So, yeah, this stuff is pretty serious.

November 22, 2008 (Saturday) MMS - 10 drops (Evening) No Drugs No Zapping McDonald's Breakfast (AWESOME!!!) Candy (Junk food) The urgency has maintained a high level and isn't really going anywhere. Most of it seems to be gas, but it's back to being difficult to determine what will be excreted. Once again... ADVICE: DO NOT STOP TAKING MMS FOR A SIGNIFICANT TIME.

Which, if I remember correctly, is a sign of the Herxheimer Effect. Ultimately, it's a good thing. The last time it was like this was a few months ago when I was on 15 drops. This time, however, I'm only on 11 drops thus far. All I have to do is just keep it up. As easy or tough as that sounds, trust me, it sucks! KEEP IT UP AG!!! KEEP IT UP AG!!! KEEP IT UP AG!!! KEEP IT UP AG!!!

December 01, 2008 (Monday) MMS - 12 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Pretzels Almost threw it up this morning, but I think it was just my stomach, not so much the taste itself. I tried to dilute it while it was in my stomach by drinking more water and that seemed to work. I'll try 13 drops tomorrow.

December 02, 2008 (Tuesday) MMS - 13 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping 2 Sandwiches Came across a method that uses Vitamin E enemas.

December 03, 2008 (Wednesday) MMS - 13 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Sandwich The blood is really starting to come out of me now. The symptoms of the very beginning seem to be coming back too (beginning of this log). I started taking fish oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids).

December 04, 2008 (Thursday) MMS - 13 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping 2 Sandwiches More fish oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids).

December 05, 2008 (Friday) MMS - 0 drops (Morning) Salazopyrin - 4 Pills (2000 mg)(Sulfasalazine) No Zapping Water I decided to take a break from the MMS today. My gut isn't feeling right. These symptoms are getting progressively worse (the abdominal cramps, constant urgency, blood in stool, loss of water (due to Diarrhea), etc.). It turns out, the above symptoms are associated with the fish oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids). I think I started with too large a dosage of fish oil (1st day - 4800mg, 2nd day - 7200mg) and that's where the issues started. So, today I only took one pill (1200mg). I'll keep you posted. Soccer tonight, so we'll see what happens there. After all, I still have a pulled groin.

December 06, 2008 (Saturday) MMS - 0 drops (Morning) Salazopyrin - 4 Pills (2000 mg)(Sulfasalazine) No Zapping Water Small amount of food I decided to extend the break from MMS for a longer period of time. I haven't really had any desire to eat much. In fact, almost every time I eat I feel full really really quickly. Anyway, I'm not dead yet.

December 07, 2008 (Sunday) MMS - 0 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Water Small amount of food I still don't have much of an appetite. I'm not sure what's up.

December 08, 2008 (Monday) MMS - 0 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Water Eggs Pinto Beans I came across this other advice that some guy named Sheldon said that he used. He says that he cured himself with Vitamin E enemas. I also came across a study that was just released in October 2008 that supported this method. So I did a vitamin E enema and followed Sheldon's advice.

December 09, 2008 (Tuesday) MMS - 0 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping A Sandwich Still following Sheldon's method. Other than that, not much tonight. Just bummed around. (stress -) Kristy decided she wants to be just friends now, which is what I was pretty much leaning toward anyway, but it's always added stress.

December 10, 2008 (Wednesday) MMS - 0 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Water Soccer tonight, again, so we'll see what happens there. After all, I still have a pulled groin.

January 02 (Friday) - 2009 MMS - 0 drops (Morning) No Drugs No Zapping Water Alright, all over again, Sheldon's thing seems to be ineffective with this Ulcerative Colitis stuff. I'm going back to MMS! I'm going to start at 10 drops 2 times a day. To get past the taste, I will be using a technique that someone e-mailed me about. It basically involves a 'chaser'. You simply drink down the MMS and then take a few sips of coke (pepsi may work too). Either way, it should take the after-taste away and the nasty-tasting burps as well. I must say though that this disease is really becoming an annoyance. It's not quite killing me, but it's definitely putting a dent in quite a few things. Really, the only reason I stopped with the MMS is because of the taste and I didn't want to drink the crappy tasting stuff for nothing. When I stopped taking MMS I felt very very good! AWESOME! and everything (as you probably read up above). Eventually the symptoms came back, but I think that gave me a better understanding of certain aspects of the disease and it's potential cure. So... MMS ROUND 2 - HERE I COME!!! Not to mention, this will help me with this stupid cough that I acquired when I caught a cold a few weeks ago. I'll keep you posted.

January 03 (Saturday) - 2009 MMS - 10 drops (Morning) - 11 drops (Night) No Drugs No Zapping Water

January 04 (Sunday) - 2009 MMS - 12 drops (Morning) - 15 drops (Night) No Drugs No Zapping Water

January 05 (Monday) - 2009 MMS - 15 drops (Morning) - 15 drops (Night) No Drugs No Zapping Water Potato Chips Pretzels I'm actually trying the coke thing (from above) that was suggested to me and BOY DOES THAT HELP! I actually jumped from 10 drops to 11 to 12 to 15. I'm going to be sticking with 15 from here on out, or at least for bit of time. The stuff is still so disgusting (I'm probably 'beating a dead horse' at this point by saying that so much). Just the smell of this stuff kills me. I have to keep the smell contained otherwise I can't even get close it without the urge to barf (ralph or throw up). Anyway, the first time I did this stuff (MMS), it didn't take very long for it to take effect. Thus, I think with starting at 15 drops and doing that for an extended period of time, the time it will take in order to start working will be significantly less (I hope). I'll keep you posted.
