MMS : Day 20 ~ Stasis

20 drops activated MMS (Keavy's) = 10 drops activated standard MMS, total of 10 doses.

We stayed at 10 drops (henceforth shall be writing in terms of standard MMS) today, will prolly stay here at 10 drops for another day before (cautiously) ramping up to 11 drops the day after tomorrow. 

I suspect it's not so much Herxing but Jojo swallowing too much air when he's gulping down the morning MMS doses.  The air enters his tummy, makes him burp and regurgitate the MMS. Still... it's better to err on the side of caution.

Not a bad day for Jojo today. Generally calm but not languid.  Short, intermittent bursts of annoyance whilst at his gran's.

Enema: 

Given at 6pm -- 20 drops MMS in 1 litre. Seems to be able to take in and hold in more for a little bit longer than usual.  I haven't come to the point where I am "poop diving" yet, so I don't really know if there are any parasites coming out on the MMS oral and enemas alone.

I'm kinda keen though, to finally confirm my 'suspicions' that Jojo does indeed suffer from parasite infestation. However I will need to reach max dose of MMS (i.e. 26 drops) for Jojo's weight before I can start the PP. Since each month's PP begins 2 days before the full moon and is therefore at a specific time, I can only jump on the wagon next month, In shaa Allah.  Hopefully would have safely reached max dose by then.

Sleep:

Beautifully peacefully.  I notice that he sleeps very well on days when he gets an enema.  Kerri suggests daily enemas, so I shall follow from now on.

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 11 ~ Yeast Flare?

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

Observations:

I had to attend parent-training at Jojo's school again today, something we do every Friday.  I heard Jojo say "all done" very clearly for the first time once he had finished one of his tasks.

He was calm in the car on the way back, fussed a bit upon reaching home but quickly settled down.

Otherwise an uneventful day, just that towards the evening he began to get agitated. Pacing up and down and seeming rather agitated.

Sleep:

Tucked him into bed but another night where it was difficult for him to fall asleep. Took about 2 hours before he could fall asleep and when I woke up at 4 am and checked on him, he was up! Sitting in the dark in the bathroom.

Kinda creeped me out.

Took him back to bed and I tucked him back in.

MMS : Day 10 ~ Blowing In The Wind

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

Observations:

I can count on the fingers of two hands how many times I have heard Jojo pass wind (out of his cute butt :D) Such a contrast from his two brothers who have never had any problems passing gas even from  early days after birth. Thank God for this because this meant none of them had any colic problems. I feel truly blessed not to have to deal with colicky babies then. (Thanks to minyak telon, too, which is essentially just minyak kayuputih or cajuput oil that I used to rub on their tums. I swear by this stuff for elimination of wind/gas in babies!)

Da absolute bomb, smells lovely together with baby powder too!

So, as I was lolling about with him this morning and heard a very subtle "poooot", I felt like marking it on my calendar! LOL  He gave me a huge grin after that, prolly knowing it's not quite the thing to cut the cheese so blatantly... AND feeling much more comfortable in his tummy after passing wind. (As mentioned in an earlier post, I haven't noticed much bloating of his tummy lately.)

No tantrums coming back from school again today, Alhamdulillah. 

Strangely he didn't want to spend time splashing in the bath tub today but chose to watch "The Little Mermaid" on a loop on his iPad. Must be all the marine... life in the video not so much for winsome redheads in shell-shaped bikini top and shimmering tail. LOL  Jojo does have a thang for everything that lives in water, though :P

Sleep:

Some probs falling asleep but didn't take long to succumb to arms of Hypnos.

MMS : Day 9 ~ Anxiety Gone?

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

Observations:

Jojo has always been a child who needs someone to be near to him all the time.  Poses quite a problem, even at school, because the therapist cannot leave the room for longer than 5 seconds without him throwing a tantrum.

I read that anxiety and nervousness is a symptom of parasites in the body.

*sigh*

However, today Jojo went downstairs to the empty guestroom all by himself and sat/lay there ALL BY HIMSELF for quite a while.  We were worried because we couldn't find him (he's usually sticking to any one of us like a burr :P) and we were pleasantly surprised to see him spending time by himself in the guestroom downstairs, happily occupying himself by stimming :P (finger/hand flapping and verbal stimming).  Didn't seem anxious to be by himself at all.

Even his father commented that this was something new about Jojo.  Alhamdulillah.

Fatimah, the maid who helps keep an eye on Jojo when I cannot, also commented that Jojo is much calmer than before.  No longer physically aggressive to her when he doesn't get his way. Alhamdulillah.

Good mood coming back from school too today, Alhamdulillah.

Sleep:

Slept very early at around 9:20pm.

Tools of the trade. I had to "deface" the gorgeous Schott Zwiesel lead-free crystal shot glass with stickers so I'd know exactly how much MMS mix (1 oz) to pour out at any one time ;D

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 7 ~ The Languidness Continues

7 drops activated MMS in 8 ozs of water, total of 11 doses.

Observations:

• Nothing out of the ordinary. Calm and rather lethargic in the morning. 
• Increased mouthing of objects ~ from the collar of his t-shirt, Mummy's scrunchy (ecch..) and even book spines! T__T
• Had an outburst when he returned from school.  Started banging and kicking on furniture.  Broke the table fan in the maids' room. (His hits and kicks are reeeealllly strong!)
• Asked for "pampam" without using Proloquo2Go on the iPad and had the hugest grin on his face (whilst skipping to the kitchen) when we understood him and fulfilled his request later in the afternoon.
• No BM :(  The likelihood of enemas loom large *deep exhale*
• Did not observe sound sensitivity in him today.  The adhan came on and he was fine, Alhamdulillah.

Sleep:

Fell asleep early at around 9:30pm.

____________________ . ____________________

Today was Jojo's first day on Biocean Hypertonic seawater. We're giving him 40mls in the morning 5 minutes after the first MMS dose of the day, mixed with 3 parts filtered water.

He does seem to prefer the MMS taste than the taste of the seawater as he downs the MMS without a problem.  I could see him gagging as he tried to finish the 160mls of seawater plus filtered water mix in the glass. I tasted a teaspoon and it does have a very mineral quality and taste to it.  Not salty at all once mixed in with 3 parts of water, though.

If only you could be as calm and happy as this every day, my love

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 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:

Like a log
