I have a slightly different opinion. I prefer a fresh squeezed lemon as an activator. I believe we need more lemon juice than 5x the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement drops. More activator, not more Miracle-Mineral-Supplement

The citric acid activates much faster, but faster is not always better.

If we go back to Jim Humble's work, he originally used the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement unactivated. It worked for a lot of people but not everybody. Some people just didn't have enough stomach acid to convert the MMS and needed the boost from the activator.

So the purpose of the activator is just to start the reaction and give the stomach acid a boost. It is probably not necessary or even desirable to convert the MMS to ClO2 all at once in the glass.

The fresh lemon, to me, feels more natural. The citric acid gives a harsh "up and down" of MMS in the system. A whole fresh squeezed lemon gives a slower and longer lasting dose, in my opinion.

Some pathogens may need a fast blast of MMS, like the Malaria that Jim treated in Africa. We may find that some pathogens need the slow and steady method to work away on their defenses.

That's my theory. Still a work in progress.

Okay, but most of the time JH refers to lemon or lime and doesn't differentiate between citric and lemon when he describes how many drops to put with the mms, although in one part he says citric may be better(?!). I am using lemon or lime now so where does that leave me with going to 15 drops as recommended by JH?!

Also read your post 50 days ago re prostatitis and your son. How many drops did he go to and what was he using citric or lemon?

many thanks
