Happy New Year to you from Ontario, Canada! I take my supplements in the morning, 4 hours away from Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , then again with my supper, and take Miracle-Mineral-Supplement before I go to bed. It's not just the supplements...if you are having anything with a very high natural Vitamin C level, ie. spicy tomato dish, you need to consider that, too. Right now I only take the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement when there is something "going around". Had a close call with a bad flu bug a few days ago, but I took 10 drops one day, then 12 the next, and managed to avoid getting sick, beyond a small canker sore.

As far as Herxing, I did not have any real reactions on my way up to 15 drops. I had done 2x a year detox cleanses, and have no major health "issues". I did react though when I had a touch of flu and took 10-15 drops (can't remember, it was a year ago). I had severe abdominal cramping and was very tired for a few hours, but then it all passed, flu and all. There has been a lot of discussion about taking some apple slices or Vitamin C to stop the MMS reaction from continuing, and possibly stopping some of the herxing. I think some people have had reactions from taking the MMS in too high a concentration, ie. not enough water. citric acid is the strongest activator, from what I have read, and is what we use, but I always make sure to drink a full glass of water right after the MMS. Everyone needs to listen to their own bodies.

Tom (aka SilverFox) made a very good comment that MMS can be very useful with existing conditions, but if you are in good health, and have achieved the 2x a day of 15 drop protocol for a week or two with no obvious discomfort, you are probably in good shape and don't need to take it regularly. It's good to have in case something does come around.

Good luck!

Good luck on this new adventure. I also did the high dose, high percent Iodine for 5 months. Then I did the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement protocol.

Vitamin C is powerful. Treat it the same as you did for iodine. Give Miracle-Mineral-Supplement a chance to work for 2 hours before vitamin C; or let vitamin C get digested about 2 hours before Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . Really, 2 hours should be plenty. 4 hours would be safe. There is no harm. It is just that vitamin C will cancel the MMS. Do not deny yourself vitamin C. It is too necessary.

How long before you start feeling crummy? It's one of those "it depends" answers. If you continue with the protocol as described in the FAQ of this forum. It won't depend upon time as much as it will depend upon how many drops of MMS. It will also depend upon how much you have already detoxed with iodine. You may have no problem at all. I did not ever feel crummy for long. I had about 2 bouts of vomit; each lasting maybe a half hour. Then feeling great. I did have diarrhea; but for me, that was a blessing. It is easily controllable if you follow the guidelines of backing off a drop on the next dosage.

Others will have a different tale; because we all come with different problems and constitutions.

MMS can be hard on the stomach too but it depends on how sensitive your stomach is. Some Lugols can be reduced to Iodide with vitamin C and/or taken in smaller split up doses to avoid stomach irritation, or as SSKI , but it should be less likely than with Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , but then it depends on how much of it you take of course.
I never usually go over 8 drops unreduced Lugols and take extra with C powder and baking soda
15 drops of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement for a month started to cause me a bit of stomach discomfort so I stopped but I've never had this with lugols
