  • Toster says:

    Yes Mel, I have. Some take it internally as well. It is bleach aka MMS. I have not used it and I think there are other modalities that are better.
    I myself am going to do IV Ozone or aka liquid Oxygen aka Prolozone and/or IV blood Irradiation therapy. Both are great and recently IV Ozone is being used to cure Ebola successfully. It does knock down the Hep C Virus as well. It has been used for many years for a myriad of discorders and diseases and the results are fantasitic. I suggest you google it.
