Lemon Juice instead of CA

I was just reading the updated JH 1/2000 Protocols and I see that using fresh Lemon Juice is listed last as an activator. I'm getting a raw throat from all the CA and want to also stop using fruit juice to mask the taste. I read that Stevia is not such a good choice either. I was wondering about making a 'lemonade' type drink using fresh lemon juice and agave. I'd put straight lemon juice drops in first to activate, then add in some of my homemade lemonade/agave and drink.

Would this be less effective than the CA? Is the CA the preferred method because it's easiest to use, or because it's actually most effective as an activator?

Hi KJ

I have for 4 years or more only used fresh lemon juice as activator. I tried all the juices under the sun, in the end I found that just adding water was the most palatable. Another reason for that was that Dr Cowan author of the 'four path ways of healing' advised strongly against consumption of fruitjuices for people with my condition.

So back to your question, yes lemon juice is fine, in my opinion even the best. I am a bit disappointed when people automatically refer to citric acid as an activator. But of course if fresh lemons are not readily available it is a good alternative. But Elaine Holmsworth in her book 'how to escape the sickness industry' warns against its use. This is not in relation to MMS but in general.

Thank you Steve and Mariann, I appreciate the feedback.

Citric acid is one of several options to activate MMS - originally it was just lemon juice, however a doc that went with JH on one of his african malaria trips showed him how much simpler it was to use citric acid powder, have it premeasured into a bottle and just add water later (half and half, which is how we got to 50%) - Andreas uses 33% CA and activates a minute. (except when making CDS, where he uses the 50%). The more familiar you get with the underlying principles of MMS, the more flexible you can be in working with it.

Thanks for the info Pam, that makes sense. I'm glad that lemon is still as effective as CA (though not necessarily as convenient).
