Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) I was recommended this by a friend, so I thought I would investigate it first and then give it a try.

After starting on a 3 drops per day dosage and intending to build up to 15, I investigated some more and realized that what I was doing was quite silly - putting a non-selective biocide into my body - so I stopped immediately, and continued to use it for another purpose - as a mouthwash. For this, it works extremely well.

It is just ridiculous to assume that a substance that destroys organic matter can selectively kill "bad" bacteria and leave the good ones (e.g. intestinal flora) alone, and that's what made me extremely dubious about the claims made for it.

In fact, even though as mouthwash it works better than anything I've ever used before, in this function I don't think it's particularly safe. That's because when rinsing with 4 drops of MMS mixed with 4 drops of citric acid in a mouthful of water, a few hours later I notice tiny pieces of cheek tissue becoming loose and detaching. This causes tissue regeneration, and guess what that can increase the risk for in the long term? That's right - cancer! Exactly the disease that the MMS proponents claim it cures.

The supposed background of Jim Humble (the "inventor" of MMS) is also extremely suspect. Here's a paragraph that you can find scattered around the web:

"Jim began his career in the aerospace industry in which he decided upon becoming a research engineer. Jim doesn’t speak of this often, but he worked on the first intercontinental missile, worked on lunar vehicles, wrote instruction manuals for the first vacuum tube computers, set up experiments for atomic bombs, completely wired up the first machine to be controlled by computers at the Hughes aircraft company - and also invented the first automatic garage door!"

Astounding! If he did just two of those things he might be considered an absolute genius. This "bio" cannot be found on his website, but how could similar ones be found across the web if it hadn't originated from one place? The last sentence is easily verifiable as false: http://sites.google.com/site/mmsdebunked/home/jim-humble-claims/garage-door-inventor

One blogger presents an excerpt from an eBook on the 2008 version of his website (it must have been removed since) that includes this:

"He had 100% cure rate of over 75,000 malaria patients and 388 out of 390 documented aids patients. It was achieved by using the MMS to create Chlorine Dioxide."

On his current website (http://jimhumble.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=38&Itemid=66), in describing MMS 2 (another pool chemical), Humble says this:

"What we found out recently is that MMS (now called MMS1) when given to HIV people generally cures all of their health problems associated with the HIV, but it does not cure the HIV in some cases. It is more valuable than the HIV drugs for treating HIV, but it doesn't kill the HIV virus always, just sometimes."

So, in the first sentence he's saying that MMS *does* cure HIV in most cases, and then in the very same very paragraph he's saying that it kills HIV just sometimes! What a hilarious contradiction. So now that MMS1 doesn't cure HIV, you should start using MMS2, because it will! Even the first sentence is a contradiction of the 2008 excerpt above.

This must have also originated from Humble's own writings:

"Note: Jim Humble is completely altruistic with his relationship with the miracle mineral supplement - he has given it away to the world to get it out there and does not receive any financial remuneration from the proceeds of it being sold."

Maybe, but his website does currently state (http://jimhumble.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=2) that "You get a 50% commission for each book you sell and you don't have to handle the book, money, or shipping. To request information about how to become an MMS affiliate..." There you have it! He makes his money on the sale of his books, not MMS, and you can become an affiliate and make money too!

(I didn't rate this for low side effects, simply because I didn't get to the suggested dosage and I didn't want to experience nausea nor diarrhea.)

Special K Protein Snack Bar Chocolate Peanut Butter

Sadly, I was under the impression that I was grabbing the Protein Meal Bar from Kellogg's, but got this smaller product, the Protein Snack Bar, instead. It is quite a stretch to call this a protein bar at all, with just 4 grams per 110-calorie bar. I think that basically makes it just your average granola bar, in terms of nutritional value. Additionally, unlike the Meal Bar, this bar is low in fiber, with just 1 gram, while there are 11 grams of sugar. These bars are low in fat, with 3.5 grams (2 grams saturated), so the profile is pretty lame overall. The plus side? It won't derail your diet because it's so low in calories, and they tend to be pretty cheap, even when sold individually (like 89 cents). Also, the chocolate peanut butter taste is very pleasant, reminiscent of a Reese's, although the consistency is different - a pleasant crunchy and chewy feel. Not really that impressive, but it is an okay snack, although not particularly filling.

Titan High Protein Cookies Chocolate Chip

I'm a big fan of chocolate chip cookies, so I have pretty high standards for taste. That said, these weren't bad, and I may have actually had 'real' cookies with worse flavoring. Overall, the Titan Cookies are a bit bland and have more of a protein bar taste than a gourmet taste. But for cookies, the profile is pretty good. Each cookie has 150 calories, with 10 grams of protein and 15 grams of carbohydrates. They are a bit high in fat with 6 grams total and 3 grams saturated; not really a problem but they come in packs of two, so eating both will double that. Each cookie is relatively low in sugar, with 5 grams, and each cookie has 3 grams of fiber, so eating two cookies would provide more fiber than the average 300-calorie protein bar. Additionally, the protein blend has MPI, soy, wheat protein isolate, egg and added BCAAs, so that's not bad. These aren't outstanding or massively superior to protein bars, but if you're sick of having people ask you what you're eating all the time when you eat protein bars, these may be a good choice.
