mms goes into the blood... it by passes the digestive tract... thats why the good bacteria doesnt get destroyed... it only kills bacteria that is acidic not alkaline... anything below a 7... call Dr. Freddie Bisci... you need to go to someone who knows what there talking about... the people on this forum try and help, but they do not have the experience that a Dr./nutritionist has.... Dr. Bisci is a scientist/nutritionist the best out there by far... been a nutritionist for over 40 years... go to his website.... good luck
