 DO YOUR RESEARCH! Oct 12, 2009
Please research ANY 'remedy' carefully before ingesting it - don't just rely on the opinions of the people selling the product! Here is the tragic story of one woman who believed what she was told about MMS (as seen in the pages of Latitude 38):
"MMS KILLED MY WIFE"
The following is an excerpt from a group email sent to me by Doug Nash of the Dana Point-based Spindrift 43 Windcastle, who is a veteran of the '04 Baja Ha-Ha. It's about the tragic death of his wife Silvie Fink at Epi Island, Vanuatu. She died 12 hours after taking MMS, a so-called alternative medicine prophylactic and remedy for malaria and many other diseases. It was sold to her by another cruising couple. The 76-year-old Nash and his wife Silvie, who was from Mexico, had been cruising the South Pacific for several years.
"My life during the past five weeks has been a nightmare, but I've been supported by many people in the cruising community here and abroad, plus all Silvie's friends and relatives back home in Mexico and in the States. The outpouring of grief has been overwhelming. But no one else can answer all the questions people have asked about what happened to her, so I must do that. Here is a summary:
"While in Port Vila, Silvie decided to purchase some MMS that she'd heard about from a cruising couple. The guy is from Belgium and his wife is from California. I was not happy about her wanting to try the stuff, but I didn't interfere because I knew nothing about it at the time. Besides, she was a grown and savvy woman with lots of experience with all kinds of good and bad medicines. She'd even done a little internet research on MMS over several weeks before trying it. Neither of us thought she would be in any danger from taking it. How dreadfully wrong we were!
"We left Port Vila on August 4, and sailed 90 miles north to Epi, which is another island in the Vanuatu group. We anchored at Lamen Bay the day after their annual canoe race festival. Having decided to stay an extra day at the nice anchorage, Sylvie decided to try MMS. Its proponents had told her that it would prevent malaria, which is prevalent in this part of the world.
"From almost the moment Silvie drank the mixture of MMS and lime juice -- which she'd brewed up according to the instructions of Jim Humble, the principal proponent of the stuff -- things went wrong. She became nauseated, and was soon both vomiting and suffering from diarrhea. But since the MMS literature emphasized that this was a normal reaction, she assumed it would pass. It didn't.
"It turned into a day of torture, with Silvie gradually getting worse, to the point of having severe abdominal pains, then urinary pains. I helped her all day, bathing her, comforting her and trying to get liquids into her. But she couldn't keep anything down. About the time it started to get dark, she began to feel faint. That's when I became fully alarmed. She fell into a coma while I was on the VHF calling for assistance.
"With her unresponsive, I put out another radio call, this time for immediate emergency care. Fellow cruisers rushed to our boat within minutes. For over an hour we administered CPR and oxygen. But neither they, nor an adrenalin shot administered by a physician from the village, were able to revive her. Sylvie died aboard Windcastle around 9 p.m., just 12 hours after she'd taken that fatal drink of MMS. Her body was flown back to Port Vila the next day and put in the hospital morgue. I brought Windcastle to Port Vila the next day.
"Since then, there has been -- because Sylvie hadn't died a natural death -- a three-week-long police investigation involving Vanuatu criminal investigators. For one thing, it's illegal for anyone to promote or sell MMS as a medical remedy in Vanuatu. Australian joint command investigators, who aid in law enforcement in Vanuatu, also became involved. That led to a court order and, eventually, a senior pathologist's being flown from Melbourne to conduct a post mortem autopsy. That was two weeks ago. Then Silvie's son and daughter agreed that her body should be flown to New Zealand for cremation.
"Last week, I accompanied Sylvie's body to Auckland by plane. I was present for the cremation and arranged to have her ashes sent to her daughter Aretha in Mexico City. I'm now back on Windcastle in Port Vila, where I await the results of the autopsy from Australia's Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine in Melbourne. I'm also dealing with the need to secure our boat against the approaching cyclone season, which may mean having to sail her to another country.
"My heart has been absolutely crushed by the sudden loss of my dear wife Silvie. It's so shocking I can hardly believe it. I miss her immensely, and Windcastle is empty without her presence. But with all of her relatives and friends, Silvie, who brought so much joy and happiness into the world and to us, will live on forever in our hearts and minds. I've been told that the villagers at Epi, who had been so entertained by Sylvie's dancing the night before she died, have built a shrine to honor her.
"As for MMS, I wish I'd done a better job of preventing Sylvie, who had become the love of my life, from messing with it. I know now that it's a dangerous, toxic chemical which, if ingested, can be lethal. MMS killed my wife, Silvie."
So ends Doug's letter.

Readers -- We feel terrible for Doug's loss.
We looked up MMS, which stands for Miracle Mineral Supplement -- oh boy! -- at a site called the Alternative Medicine Network. There we learned that the "miraculous" product, which is actually chlorine dioxide, and which needs to be "activated" by vinegar or lime juice, was accidently "discovered" by Jim Humble. He's a gold miner rather than a chemist or physician, and supposedly stumbled upon it while prospecting for gold in South America. According to the literature, "the proof of the efficacy of this simple protocol was in successfully helping over 75,000 people in several African nations -- including Uganda and Malawi -- rid themselves, primarily of malaria, but also hepatitis, cancer, and AIDS." As we continued to read, we began laughing so hard we never got to the part that we're sure claimed that MMS isn't generally available because of the vast global conspiracy by the medical profession, big pharma, the American Cancer Society and others. If it weren't so terribly tragic, it would be hilarious.
We're not sure where the couple who sold Silvie the MMS are right now, or if some authority will charge them with something along the lines of wrongful death.

A Wonderful Investment! Sep 11, 2009
My initial impression of this book was that it wasn't well written. However, as I continued to read, I was FASCINATED with the story behind MMS. A bit redundant at times, this book was VERY exciting from start to finish. I have used the book as a resource while taking MMS for the first few weeks. I am honored to own a copy of Jim Humbles amazing breakthrough in CURING.
If you are considering using MMS or even considering having MMS on hand in case of an emergency, this book is a MUST HAVE! If you are NOT considering purchase of this book OR MMS than you MUST RECONSIDER!
Kudos to Jim Humble for putting together a book for the lay person to understand and to feel confident in what one can to with MMS!

 Beyond Interesting Jul 12, 2009
Breakthrough is an excellent book. Not perhaps, the best writing I've ever read but certainly heartfelt, sincere and informative. Am I surprised health care and the international governments would want to suppress this information? Sadly, no. Michael Moore's film, Sicko, disturbed my complacency. This book ignited a forgotten passion to fight city hall. Breakthrough chronicles one man's effort to save lives, cut through the bull and best a greedy medical economy determined to keep us all sick, dependent and uninformed.

Very interseting May 19, 2009
This book has some great information. MMS really does sound like a miracle! Makes you want to run out and get some and start taking it. I actually purchased this book for my best friend who has been diagnosed with throat and tongue cancer. I read the first part of the book and found his life story interesting. It sounds like everyone should be taking MMS to help maintain their health. Many thanks to Jim Humble for paving the way for us.

Amazing discovery - MMS Feb 02, 2009
This book is very informative, and offers quite a bit of information about how to make and use MMS, and what it is good for, as well as the history and use against Malaria in Africa and South America. I hope that the author some day hires a good editor to edit the book as it could use a good editing. But, really, that is not important. What is important is how amazing MMS works. Our family doesn't have a lot of problems that need to be healed, but the areas which MMS has worked for us so far have been dental problems (amazing results), blood poisoning (cured in less than an hour), bladder infections, yeast infections, and I believe it has prevented us from getting colds or flus, although that is hard to prove really. Also check out the Amazing documentary on Amazon called Understanding MMS. In my opinion it does an even better job than the book in helping the novice understand all about this amazing breakthrough.
