Hello Fan of Tom,
Interesting user name... [smile icon]
People may not be getting rich from the sale of MMS, but there is a healthy profit available.
The 4 ounce bottle of MMS sells for around $20. The cost breakdown indicates that the bottle and cap costs around $1.50, depending on the quantity ordered, and in bulk the sodium chlorite solution can be purchased for about $1.20 per liter.
This results in a cost of a little under $2.00 per bottle.
Jim Humble continues to report that around 10000 bottles of MMS are being sold each month, so that would indicate that this industry has a gross profit of around $180000 per month or $2160000 per year.
Now we have to keep in mind that there are other expenses involved, and often the product is discounted, but I think that would involve less than half the gross profit.
I have no idea if Jim Humbles estimates are correct, or how many ways the pie is being cut up, but there is some profit in this.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 597217Hi Tom,
Thanks for the profit breakdown... but I think you're stretching logic a bit.
In terms of profit, Humble is making no secret about how to make the stuff. He's encouraging home users to make their own. Which is why you can get MMS for like $10 for a year supply. He had to know this would happen, due to increased competition. So I just don't see profit being his motivation, even it was for his business partners.
While I understand you have concerns about Jim Humble, I don't think the man is dishonest or scheming. His former business partners seem shady, but Humble was upfront about that in his book. And they seem to have kept Humble out of the loop most of the time, which would explain why some of the clinics haven't heard of Humble when contacted (if that's true--I never made any calls).
It also seems his partners were careful not to reveal what MMS actually was to the clinics, so clearly they were in it for the money, to some extent. Probably looking for a big government contract to wipe Malaria from an entire nation for X dollars.
That said, I do think Humble may have been so intent on curing the incurables that he was failing to issue proper precautions... but that could have more to do with some hero streak he has rather than weak ethics. What can you say? He's an old guy. He wants to leave a legacy. Totally understandable.
I think Humble legitimately believes MMS is good for you so long as you have anaerobic bacteria in your body. The more the merrier until you're clear. And there does seem to be pathogenic imbalance everywhere you look, especially in the third world, so maybe he's right. But that's almost a philisophical debate.
I mean the chemotheraphy industry is built entirely upon that premise... kill the host (almost), kill the cancer. So it's not like Humble is out in left field on this one. I'd say he's about as radical as your average Harvard trained oncologist. And more logical about it, really, as chemotherapy agents seem to be far more toxic to the body than MMS.
But I think Humble is overlooking the issue of chlorine dioxide gas, especially considering we're dealing with first-world conditions here. Americans aren't generally on their death beds with malaria. So are these high doses a good idea? Are the risks from the gas really worth it?
So Tom this is where my main concern is about MMS... and maybe where you can comment... I don't think Humble is making a big enough deal about this gas that's released.
At 15 drops a day, 3 times a day, that's a lot of gas being released into the sinus, ear and throat area right?
The only way I see MMS being used safely is in extremely low amounts in a way that gas released is close to neglible. The ears and eyes membranes especially are just too sensitive, and sophisticated in their function to be exposed to that much gas.
Any thoughts on how to achieve a gas-free version of MMS? If you let it activate overnight would it still be effective?
