An update: I continued with the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement protocol, quickly working up to 15 drops / 3x a day, for about two weeks. During this time, my symptoms seem to improved, then started to get worse, so I am taking a break and using Vitamin C. I could start to get minor tingling and breakouts at the base of my spine, where I understand that herpes virus resides. Could this have been the virus being pushed out of my spine? I have read elsewhere that some people with herpes have required a couple of months using mms at higher concentrations - as high as 25 drops per dose - to eliminate outbreaks permanently. Anyone have experience with this on this board?
