My husband contracted lyme from a tick in southeastern Idaho spring 2015. In the first three months, his vital signs were fluctuating and he had horrible, painful, papular skin rashes which would break and bleed. We went from MD to MD. You know the story: They told us to go to a dermatologist. Lyme travels in "packs" with other "friends," such as bartonella, mycoplasma, erlichiosis, etc. etc. and invites in new friends and even parasites. When my husband developed staph and was oozing ounces of yellow serum from his head, I forced him back to an MD, and the MD told us to change our laundry soap. Eight months post bite, when the last infectious disease specialist told him over his encrusted, split, bleeding legs that he was fat, lazy, and probably just wanted to collect a disability check, he left her office, slumped in his truck, and said a prayer. Within an hour he had found a naturopath who agreed to see him THAT NIGHT. She sent him home with herbal tinctures. The herxheimer for BOTH of us (I was infected via sexual contact with my husband after about two months of him becoming seriously ill--I didn't know lyme can be easily sexually spread and spread to fetuses in womb. It even lives in saliva) which followed beginning those tinctures cemented my belief that herbs could work. That allowed me to open my mind to other things we found combing the internet. This is how we found Jim Humble. As we had actually visited India and become ill only two weeks before my husband was bitten by a tick, I wondered if he had something like Dengue Fever from India. We were both seriously ill in India and after returning home, for six weeks, but then my husband was bitten and continued being very ill. The MMS is what first stopped the serious rashes. We both took it internally for about three months. It worked so well, that I think we stopped it only due to the taste. I have since read others take it in juice. My husband would ask me to bathe his rash-ridden body in a glass of MMS wherein I'd used about 25-30 drops of MMS and then filled the 6 oz glass with water. I also often added 1 T. DMSO to allow the MMS to penetrate through his skin layers to kill the nasty bartonella, which loves to reside in the skin layers. Anyone you see with permanent little "knobs" all over their face most likely has bartonella. Bartonella suppresses lyme and then become the major offender. It can ultimately ruin the heart valves. My husband could feel the MMS working immediately on his skin. It was the only thing which stopped the painful, to-the-bone itching he suffered day after day (until we tried MMS on his skin). THANK YOU, Jim Humble, for being a humble warrior. May God bless you and exalt you forever and ever. We must tell everyone about MMS and stop the fdastasi from allowing our loved ones to suffer and die. My husband almost died at the hands of MDs who actually REFUSED treatment. I quoted to the doctor in front of my husband whose vital signs were fluctuating: "The Merck Medical Manual states that if patient has recently returned from a tropical or third-world country, and has fever, rashes, breathing issues, bloodshot eyes, etc., do not wait to detect exact pathogen, but begin treatment immediately with broad-spectrum antibiotic and anti-parasitic." This doctor REFUSED. He was dead-set on finding the EXACT pathogen, whilst my sweet, poor husband was delirious and almost stopped breathing some nights. It sometimes seem the MDs would rather see us all dead. Hello? I am speechless after all of this. Only herbs, MMS, and regular supplements like calcium/magnesium and Co-Q-10 helped. The MDs took lots of money and some even refused to test him for lyme. I am so done with them. My husband thinks he is recovered now, nine months later. MMS works. Thank you, Jim Humble!!!!!! God bless you!!!!!!! Spread the word, everyone!
