Parasite Protocol Round 1 : Day 8

Very small 'fry' today...

Saw a very distinct white "vein" running through this one. When I lifted it with a fork, it didn't break,
the central white vein held it together

Another closer look of the white vein-y one

It's been a while since I wrote in this blog but I have been so busy.  I have been poop-diving for quite a while now, started about a week before April's Parasite Protocol.  Getting to be more confident about differentiating between biofilm (translucent, clear, film-like gel), mucus (breaks up in water) and worm pieces (looks like layers of opaque tissue, when lifted with work it intertwines around itself like a rope).

Kerri says that the outer skin of the worm is usually totally digested by the time these worms are expelled and what we see, that rope-like, intertwined tissue are its intestines, the insides of the worm.

Update: Today's "catch" seemed small because Jojo went to the toilet about an hour after the enema and expelled some more worms.  They all went down to the toilet, literally, no toilet 'hat' to collect them as he wasn't with me but downstairs with the maid. She said she saw lots of the "white stuff" in the toilet bowl ~ the 'stuff' you see in the pics here.

Parasite Protocol Round 1 : Day 3

I posted this pic on the MMS Autism Facebook page asking whether this could just be mucus or not.

Kerri replied that it is the intestines of the work, the outer "skin  having already been digested.

The "object" looks like it has many layers, with the layers intertwining around themselves... like a rope.

Can you see the vein-like thing running along it's length?

Wondering if this the same thing that those people writing about 'rope parasites" are talking about.

The evening 'catch' XD

Not bad for a day's work ;)

MMS : Day 19 ~ Herxing

Supposed to be 22 drops Keavy's MMS = 11 drops standard MMS, total of maximum number of doses I could get in him, it being the weekend and all... if everything had been all right.

However, Jojo started vomiting about 30 minutes after the first dose, which I gave him at 6:30am.

He had stormed into our bedroom, giggling and laughing (the yeasty kind), exuberant and besides himself with glee at 6:30am.  God only Knows how long he had been up for or whether he had a slept a wink the night before.  (I didn't rewind the CCTV footage to check.)

He threw up twice this morning (not the projectile, Linda Blair kind as some have noted when their child Herx-es on MMS, thank the Lord) after which I stopped the day's dosing.

Tomorrow I go back to the number of drops where he didn't vomit, stay there for a few days before ramping up again.  I had expected this Herxheimer's reaction but prolly not as soon as this.

As much as I am keen to reach max dose so that we can start Kalcker's Parasite Protocol on time next month, it is important not to stress him or make him suffer (any more than he already has).

There are reason I don't allow comments on this blog.

It's almost like a private journal/diary of Jojo's MMS journey.  It just happens to be online.  I need a place where I can keep track of the number of drops given and on what days.  I need to keep a record of the observations I make, the reaction he has towards a particular dose or frequency of dosing.  I need to see a 'pattern', if there is one, of his reaction towards the oral doses, enemas and baths.

As such, it's a DRY blog. I am convinced I am the only who reads it, so providing a space for comments is rather moot.

Secondly, I know there are loads of naysayers out there who do not necessarily agree to my decision to treat Jojo's inherent and chronic gastrointestinal issues with MMS.  I have read what all those on the other side of the divide have to say about it and I don't really want to hear the same broken record.  I have made my decision and as his mother I have a right to make it.  Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion, just that I would like them to keep it that way... personal, I have no need nor desire for them to share it with me. Ta very mooch.

Call me an ostrich if you will but when you rail against those who put chemotherapy drugs in children then perhaps I'd give you the time of day.  Prove to me that MMS given according to Kerri Rivera's protocol has actually HURT a child, then perhaps I might consider giving #teambleach my attention.

This is the last I am going to say about the matter but it needs to be said.

Enema:  20 drops in 1 litre

Sleep : Like a log

MMS : Day 8 ~ Semboyan Telah Berbunyi*

8 drops of activated MMS in 8 ozs of water, total of 10 doses.

Observations:

• Jojo woke up in a good mood today.  He was like a playful kitten the rest of the day, lots of smiles and cheeky antics.  
• Calm and languid as the past several days.  Didn't throw usual tantrum when he came back from school, Alhamdulillah.
• Stomach no longer bloated with gas.
• Sores from 'chronic eczema' (as per dermatologist's diagnosis, but I believe it's those danged parasites!) on his buttocks are healing and not recurring as per usual.
• Sores on legs persist because he keeps peeling off the scabs.

Sleep:

Fell asleep early in my bed but when I sent him to his room, helped him brush his teeth and tucked him into bed, he woke up again. Saw him get out of bed on the CCTV, went back to tuck him back in.  About 10 mins of whingeing and whining (again observed on CCTV) but then he fell asleep again, thank the Lord!

*Semboyan Telah Berbunyi = The Klaxon call has been sounded

Today's post is titled the way it is because the "klaxon call" for enemas has been sounded.  I find even the mere thought of administering enemas on Jojo (who is now almost as tall as I am and as strong as an ox!) daunting as all get out.

However, I know it HAS to be done.  I feel like a total wuss for being daunted by the mere thought when I read on the MMS Autism Facebook group that there are wheelchair bound mums who manage to administer it on their late-teen children with autism.  So come on Z, wrestle with Jojo if you must but you have to get this done!

*deep inhale deep exhale*

I don't have the 140cc Kendall Monoject syringes and disposable catheters that I want from mightyguts.com ... YET... so I will have to go the more 'traditional' enema bag route.

Bought this kit from NewLife in Ampang Park, the oldest mall in the city. The size of that anal probe is kinda wigging me out at the mo'. I am not sure what Jojo will think :P

Jojo likes to loll about in the guest room downstairs, under his fave calming blanket.  Perhaps I'll do it there, put on some soothing sounds of nature whilst I'm at it.  (At school he has his "personal calming corner" where he has a blanket and some cushions and they put on soothing music and draw the curtains for him whenever things get a bit... overwhelming.)  Thankfully the guest room has an en suite bathroom 'coz if he can't hold it in, he can just quickly "let go" in the commode.

.... so here goes... menuju medan bakti!

(The title of this post is actually from a rousing song that is sung by our troops when they head out to the frontlines of war.. With everything happening in Lahad Datu, Sabah recently... [although in no way am I equating our troops' sacrifice and struggle to mine]... I guess I am feeling the 'war vibe'.)

MMS : Day 6 ~ Diarrhea

6 drops activated MMS in 8 ozs of water (8 doses) + 5 drops activated MMS in 8 ozs water (4 doses). Total : 12 doses

Observations:

Today the diarrhea started.  Not the "faucet" variety (to put it in Kerri's words) but the soft, unformed stool variety.  I was thinking of going back to 5 drops and stay there for the next 3 days then ramp up again to 6 drops. So I e-mailed Kerri (I hope she doesn't think I am the biggest nuisance! T__T) and she said that it's normal 'detox stool' and should not worry about ramping up another drop tomorrow.

Jojo was in a very happy mood today -- all smiles and giggles (not yeast-induced ones, at least I don't think so!) engaging with all of us in play.  He was still rather languid -- calm and not hyper. 

He got a bit upset in the evening when the nearby mosque started their ritual evening Quran readings over the PA. (Totally unnecessary and bida'ah if you ask me, but hey what do I know.. I'm just your friendly neighbourhood wahabi, right? *tongue firmly wedged in cheek* :P) When the adhan came on he got upset too.  All in all, I noticed an increased sensitivity to sound today.

Sleep:

Slept at 10pm and straight on till the a.m.  I still notice dark circles around his eyes (lighter though now). Most probably due to his (numerous) food intolerances, although we watch his GF/CF/SF diet like a hawk.

MMS : Day 5 ~ Stringy Cheese

5 drops of activated MMS in 8 ozs of water, 8 doses + 4 drops of activated MMS in 8 ozs of water, 4 doses.Total doses: 12.

Today I decided to take advantage of the weekend and Jojo not being at school to get at least 12 doses in him.

Observations:

He tolerated it well and FINALLY had a BM. He passed a huge "log" and I saw a stringy, pale yellow-ish jelly-like piece sticking out of the impressive... err... turd.

Please forgive the language, it's about to get more graphic in here (I hope, anyway... would love to post pics of worms when the time comes! XD )

At first I thought it probably was a piece of ascaris lumbricoides but someone's post on the MMS Autism Facebook page tells me that it could also probably be yeast... or the remains of what could have been a particularly thriving yeast "community". 

A hearty bowlful of ascaris lumbricoides.. >__< Eating spaghetti will never be the same *gag*

From ehow.com:

"Excessive candida may be present in the stool during periods of extreme yeast growth or die-off, also called Herxheimer Syndrome. Die-off occurs when your body is getting rid of excess yeast. Stools with an overabundance of yeast may contain a white, stringy material that is similar to thin pieces of string cheese. This cheesy substance is one of the most common signs of too much candida in a bowel movement. Yeast in the stool has also been compared to cottage cheese. The candida can also look "frothy," similar to yeast in bread mix when it is rising, or candida can look like a mucus-like substance."

Jojo also seemed even more lethargic today than he was yesterday.

Sleep:

He fell asleep in the morning, for a brief period and fell asleep at 9:15 in the evening, a whole 1 hour 15 mins before his usual bedtime. No problems staying asleep tonight, the BM must have been a welcome relief. Thank the Lord.

MMS : Day 4 ~ Constipation

4 drops of activated MMS in 8 ozs of water, total of 9 doses.

Observations:

Jojo started the day off rather languidly, a few minutes he was due to leave for school I had to go looking for him.  He is usually by the door, with his sandals on, waiting for the driver to arrive to send him to school.  This morning he was not by the door.  I found him in the kitchen, lying on the floor (!) in a Cleopatra pose (haha!) just languidly relaxing without any urgency to go anywhere.

Thank God he didn't throw a hissy fit when we made him get up and go to school! 

I had to attend (ABA) parent-training at his school today and his therapists showed me how they play Uno with him.  He was calm and very cooperative.  We had fun, lots of smiles and I managed to win at Uno for once! LOL 

His lead therapist told me that his behaviour has been good this past week (I didn't tell them that I had started Jojo on MMS.  They are not very receptive to the idea of biomedical treatment for children with autism anyhoos..) and he has shown ability to CALM HIMSELF DOWN even when he feels frustrated.  He'd sit cross-legged on the floor, cross his arms a'la "nice hands" position and sit quietly for 2-3 mins.  After that he'll just get up and carry on as normal.  Cool beans, eh? :D Alhamdulillah..

Jojo didn't have his usual BM* today.  His mood seemed all right in the afternoon but by evening he appeared restless. He seemed tired by 10:30pm, yawning and ready to fall asleep. So I tucked him into bed and left him.  I usually watch him via CCTV from my room to make sure he falls asleep (by himself) peacefully.  I could easily lie down next to him to do so but I don't want him to get used to having someone do that.  He'll be 25 before we know it and still expect someone to pat him to sleep! NOT something I want. 

Anyhoos... I observed him being very restless. He got up from bed, started pacing all around his room like a caged tiger. He opened his bedroom door in expectation of me to come, he started to look up at the camera (he knows I am watching) more frequently. Then he started banging on his bedside table, his wardrobe in anger.  I went a couple of times to tuck him back into bed, only for him to get up again as soon as I leave. 

That was when I decided to email Kerri (at 12:00am Malaysian time). This is one of the times I am thankful for time difference between time zones! I asked Kerri if there's anything that I can do to alleviate the apparent discomfort that Jojo was feeling.  She replied promptly (!) and sent me this:

I totally believe that Jojo has worms even though we haven't reached the stage for the Parasite Protocol and the joys of 'digging for gold' are not available for me yet XD

 It was 12:00 am, I did not have any of the necessary paraphernalia to administer an enema so extra MMS doses were my only recourse.  I mixed another 8 oz baby bottle of 4 drops activated MMS and promptly gave Jojo a dose. He had been up for close to 1.5 hrs by that time, in discomfort and agitation.  After the MMS dose, 10 minutes later he went out like a light.

If I had any doubts of the efficacy of MMS, they all went out the window after that.

This stuff is magic in a HDPE bottle.

:)

Bought these from Keavy's Corner

*BM = bowel movement

MMS : Day 1

Following Kerri Rivera's MMS (baby bottle) protocol, we started off with 1 drop of activated MMS in 8 ozs of water stored in a glass baby bottle.

Jojo is given 1 oz of the mixture hourly, so effectively he is getting 1/8th of a drop each time. His first dose was given after school at 1 pm.  He is now given 8 doses only although my reading tells me that it is a minimum.  I suppose I could increase up to 9-12 doses a day but I'm kinda leery of the possible increase in die-off effects too.

Given a choice, the joys of dealing with die-off is not exactly something I want to deal with right now given the "state of flux" this house is in since the departure of the very able Diva of Semarang T__T  Seriously, there are days when I think I should move back to a 1,500 sq feet box in the air :P

Observations:

• Jojo seemed to have an elevated body temperature after about 3 doses. Not a full-blown fever but a slight elevation of temperature, higher than normal.  
• He started coughing in the late afternoon as well which continued into the night.  Not continuous but sounded quite chesty/phlegm-y.  
• Seemed more hyperactive beginning in the early evening with excited grabbing, pinching and poking. (I have a bruise to attest to a particularly STRONG poke!)

Sleep:
