Antioxidants: For those who are reading at this point in the thread, I would suggest reading Walter Last's page at [link to www.health-science-spirit.com] . This man is an astute alternative healing proponent, with a strong scientific perspective. He both uses MMS himself and indicates it confidently in various protocols. That antioxidants are the "enemy" would be a wrong assumption or conclusion. Pathogens are the enemy. Antioxidants play extremely important roles in the body. The fact is that it is not recommended to use MMS and antioxidants at the same time, as they would neutralize each other's benefits. However, it is very recommended to use them alternatively.--Even within the course of a day, but separated by a certain amount of hours. Anyway, please read Walter Last's article for more specifics, as it fills in even more of the science behind MMS--as well as regarding antioxidants & other pieces of the healing puzzle.
