MMS tastes much better if you use 1 drop Miracle-Mineral-Supplement to 3 drops activator & therefore, 1:3 ratio is better than 1:5. Jim Humble had it wrong. The better formula is 1:3. Taste is a better indicator of what is good for one's body than some authority's professional prescription, because the sense of taste is what the good Lord gave us to tell what's healthy and good for us, from what is not. Taste, smell, & sight... trust your God given senses. This is why I break open my vitamin pills. This is why I'm so concerned about our pathetic fruit & veggie supply at the store. Our food is not as good as it used to be. That is obvious to any free thinker/taster.
