I got the makings for colloidal silver a few years ago and I just didn't like the looks of the whole scheme.  I go by intuition too, and I view gold in the same light.

Thanks anyway. 

I've been practicing trigger point therapy off and on for 15 years.  Doesn't seem to work.

The biggest change that I've experienced regarding the slowing/improvement of my arthritis - particularly in my hands, is a high protein diet.  Was put on that by my clinic after being diagnosed Type II two years ago.  Have not felt better since being on the diet - when I stick to it.  15 carbohydrates or less per meal and I often go much less - per the Dr. Bernstein Diabetic diet of 4 carbos per meal.  I'm convinced that grains and grain products are behind a lot of my arthritis.  Am trying to follow a pre-agriculture source of food.

Thanks

I figure that I'll give it a couple of months before I give up.  One thing that piques my interest with MMS is that for the first 3  to 4 days I had an energy increase and then regressed back to "normal."  (Whatever that is.)  I also experienced much better sleep for about the same period of time - but that has not returned.  That's why I slowly continued up to 10 and then this morning 12 drops.  I basically lost a day today, but being retired I can do that.  I know that some was MMS, but could also have been spiritual.  I do spiritual healing meditations and sometimes get tired after a "good" meditation too.

Eating raw garlic will also kill off all of the pathogens that MMS does and is much easier on the body.  They have in fact done some successful testing of it as a cure for malaria, which is caused by a parasite in the blood stream.  I've been eating raw garlic for many years, and if I go off of it for a month or more, I get a healing crisis in the form of a breakout around my lips and nose - every time, when I go back onto it.  Garlic also flushes heavy metals out of the body.  So perhaps this is but one reason I'm not getting a reaction to MMS that others do.  I've also done several oral hydrogen peroxide cleanses, for several months.  So, I don't come into MMS without having had several clean outs.

I have a green power juicer and at one time had my apartment filled with trays of beautiful wheat grass but found nothing at all beneficial from that even with several months of ingestion.

You will see from another response to you on this thread, the benefits of my current diet.  I swear by it.  In fact, if we would go back to our hunter gatherer diet, prior to agriculture - which was high protein, we would all live to a ripe old age.  (Scientists tell us that homo erectus didn't develop an increased brain capacity until they started eating animal fat.)  We don't need juices or many of the 'manufactured' vegetables that we have available.  Most of them are so hybridized that they provide little nutrition and aren't found in nature at all.  A great read is the Seven Daughters of Eve by a renowned geneticist who points out that prior to agriculture a woman couldn't conceive as long as she was lactating which meant that she could produce a child only once every four to seven years.  With the advent of agriculture and grains our ingestion of carbohydrates increased to the point where women's bodies changed and they could now produced a child shortly after giving birth.  This explains the low populations of the hunter gatherers and the explosion of population after agriculture.  If carbohydrates changed a woman's body, you know that they have changed the male body too and how much they have changed all of our bodies is anyone's guess.

Agriculture was the beginning of mal nourishment and the deterioration of the human body.
