I'm skinny too! But I fall into the normal range. Of course, no one can tell you what will happen in your body as we are all different. If you take it slow you should not experience any sudden effects of V or D. I think it happens around 5-6 drops.

But that is just an opinion...

Don't know if I am the best person to answer, but I'll try from my own experience. The nausea/diarrhea may come at any time depending on how toxic your body is, how close to food you take it, overeating, etc.

In my case, I have experienced diarrhea on two occasions; once after an 11 drop dose (right after increasing dose; taking one dose per day); I didn't take the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement for a couple of days then; virtually started over with two drops, but increased the number of times to 3x/day, increasing drops each day by one drop each dose. After the first nine-drop dose of the day, I again had diarrhea. In retrospect, I feel I gained a lot of ground the second time, as I was taking three drops per day. However, I felt I needed to take a break from the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement and haven't taken it for six days. I plan to begin again tonight or in the a.m. I may just take it 2x/day until I reach 15 drops, then begin with two drops on the second dose, work up to 15 drops, then start the third dose the same way until I am taking 15 drops three times per day. Humble says to work up to 15 drops 3x/day for a week, then drop back to a six-drop maintenance dose.

The only time I experienced vomiting was during the second week I took it; don't remember the dose I was at. I had eaten a large meal prior to taking it. My stomach began feeling just 'ugh' for a couple of hours. I finally had to lie down. I then knew I was going to vomit and went to the bathroom. It happened three times; the wierd thing is that it was not a 'sick' occasion. I didn't really feel sick, just that my stomach felt wierd. I also had diarrhea with it, alternating. Felt somewhat puny all the next day, so don't know if it was the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement or if the food could have been bad that I ate or something.

Actually the other two times that I had diarrhea were the worst. It came on with a somewhat gentle urging and before I could get to a bathroom just hit. So........I would recommend to anyone taking MMS that if you feel the urge to 'go' that you get to a bathroom immediately. Don't wait! There was no cramping or anything, just clearing out, then I felt fine.

This is not something, as you can see, that happens frequently, at least not with me. Everyone is cautioning to go slow and gradually work up. That is good advise. At the first sign of a nauseous feeling, it would be adviseable to drop the dose back a couple of drops for a few days, then begin to increase again.

As far as taking a dose once a week, it may eventually improve everything; I don't know. I would suggest taking it every day, even if it's just one or two drops a day, rather than take it just once a week. Perhaps you could try the one or two drop dose every day and then increase the drops just one day a week. Food for thought, I guess. You more than likely are not going to get nausea or diarrhea at the one or two drop dose unless you are very ill.

Wishing you a great MMS experience.

My experience with the nausea:

It usually happens when I "jump" the dose, and especially when I have eaten foods that are acidifying.

Sometimes it is just nausea, but if I take a high enough dose, and the nausea is unpleasant enough, I almost want to vomit. Usually that is what happens, and I feel much better afterwards. I am not recommending this ... and for me the vomiting is not a sudden "blow chunks" kind of thing, but it has a little more control than that.

However, I can say definitely that I would not want to have it at work.

Keep it slow and steady ... stay at a low dosage for a couple of weeks, mix it with something so that it is tolerable. Your body will cleans over time (you will still feel it working ... if not, bump it up by just ONE drop). This way, you don't ever have to experience the big V.
