Simple answer to your question: Because it has proven to help healing diseases or correcting disorders, and seems to provide more benefit than harm.
This is the general principle applied in medicine for the administration of medical drugs, which are mostly toxic. And toxic substances are the best way to fight pathogens.
Most
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement users, as myself, are convinced that the huge benefits of
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement substantially outweigh its side effects and risks.
I hope this was not to complicated so far. And if that answer is sufficient, you can save some time and skip the rest of this post. But some others may find your question very good, want to spend more time for their health issues and consider this worthwhile to be discussed a bit more.
Back to the subject of toxicity.
Excerpt:
-------
Toxicity is the degree to which a substance is able to damage an exposed organism. Toxicity can refer to the effect on a whole organism, such as an animal, bacterium, or plant, as well as the effect on a substructure of the organism, such as a cell (cytotoxicity) or an organ (organotoxicity), such as the liver (hepatotoxicity). By extension, the word may be metaphorically used to describe toxic effects on larger and more complex groups, such as the family unit or society at large.
A central concept of toxicology is that effects are dose-dependent; even water can lead to water intoxication when taken in large enough doses, whereas for even a very toxic substance such as snake venom there is a dose below which there is no detectable toxic effect.

Some clinical drugs are also used as rat poison :

Also vitamins are toxic :

We know exactly why we are ingesting vitamins, despite many of them being toxic.
Alternatives to
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , which some forum members frequently suggest here, such as
Iodine and
Colloidal Silver , have similar distinct toxicity profiles.
The human body produces a toxic substance in the blood and various organs, which has more powerfull oxidation properties than chlorine dioxide (CLO2, as produced from activation of MMS) : this is hydrogen peroxide (H202). Both, CLO2 and H202 are used as bleaching agents. And H202 is the top standard of bleaching, the most aggressive.
H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) is far more toxic, compared with CLO2, it can injure cells and immediately induces cell death, faster than CLO2 does. Yet H202 is natural to the human body as an important component of the human immune defense against pathogens. And it is evident that body produces this toxic bleaching agent.
We ingest toxic substances, because we have learned from nature that this can help us to restore health. Of course, if we use them in the wrong way, we will damage our health.
Once again, toxicity is a matter of dosage and sensitivity of the organism – CLO2 is safe to the human at very low doses. However the MMS protocol size doses can indeed reach toxic levels, just as any medical drug. The toxicity level of a substance is directly connected to its effectiveness in killing pathogens and varies greatly by each person, even between those of same weight and age. For the same reason many medical drugs, which are officially approved to be considered safe, have damaged many peoples’ health and even have their mortality rate.
It can be dangerous to use medication or alternative remedies on ones own, without experienced advice of a health care professional. Sometimes such professional support may not be practicable or available, but then it is even more important to learn as much about MMS as possible before you start with it. Nature will not apologize to you that this may cost you more than 1 hour per day. There are indeed people who have reported a worsening of their health caused from MMS. While it is not possible to verify, whether in these cases the administration of MMS was handled in an appropriate manner, it clearly demonstrates that there are risks to consider. MMS is obviously far more toxic than vitamins, and should be approached with caution, the edge between benefit and harm is rather sharp.
If in doubt, common sense suggests to stay far below the maximum doses as recommended by Jim Humble and to avoid unnecessary long term applications. Moderate doses and sporadic use have been reported to be very effective in several cases.
