Hi Marx (and everyone else)

Thanks for the advice on Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , I have bought and used Miracle-Mineral-Supplement but never really managed to get back into it again after getting really ill by racing up the drops too fast (as lots of others do too)! A very bad side effect for me was that it gave me the worst wind ever, but I do feel that this was probably a symptom that wore off as time went on. I have been thinking of getting back into it so I'll let everyone know if I do and what happens.

It's amazing how alive this forum is lately, I'm so pleased to see life here and everyone helping each other out. Nothing like it was when I first visited! :O)

Stay positive everyone!

Lots of love

Hi Marx,

Sorry I confused you for a male (with a username like Marx). Sorry about that.

Glad to hear you're still doing well. My husband once told me that in his adolescence, he had a girlfriend who always had bad breath and a little BO during menstruation. He once even told me that he felt all women’s breath changes during menstruation, although he really noticed it only while kissing and being intimate and in close proximity. I guess he was so driven in his youth that it didn’t seem to stop him much either. he,he,he.

He does have a very keen sense of smell, even now that he’s older. Thank God for that because he has been able to better identify my son’s odor when it gets bad as being sometimes fecal-like, sometimes sulfur-like, or putrid rotten meat-like, although he does say that it’s not fishy. I just know that it smells bad, and I can’t quite pin-point the exact description of the odor.

To change the subject a little, my son tells me now that he doesn’t want to spend the $300 to get tested for TMAU because it might give a false-negative result now that he his odor is pretty much under control. He says he most certainly is not going to get himself smelly again just to have a test done that’ll cost him $300 plus the expensive shipping, when it would not offer him a cure anyway. He wants to enjoy his new-found social opportunity again after having had 8 years of extreme odor.

I can see where many of the Britts complain of the UK medical system, and how hard it is to get a doctor to test you for something they might consider cosmetic, but here in the U.S., you have to pay not only the $300 to $400 for the testing of something that you’re not sure will give you a conclusive answer, but you also have to spend money on expensive shipping. The worst part is that if the test does come back negative, you have to consider spending yet another bundle to get another test, and so on.

I know that scientists need to get these diagnosis to try to find a cure, and that there is very little funding for this research. However, the whole medical system seems to be asking the people who suffer excruciating emotional pain on a daily basis, and frequently for years, to willfully continue with the odor, even if it could be controlled and to spend a lot of money to see if sooner or later it would be diagnosed – with no cure in sight!

The way my son sees it is that he’s just recently got this odor under control, he just started a new job that he loves, he just got his 1st paycheck, and he sees no incentive in getting smelly again to pay a significant chunk of his paycheck. He said that if it wouldn’t cost him money, he would consider getting a little smelly with only one moderately high-choline meal, and cleansing himself right after taking the urine sample. But he won’t spend the money right now. I don’t blame him for not wanting to do it, at least for the time being, and I support his decision either way. Maybe someday he may change his mind.
