Let's pause a moment and look at health care...
I think that nothing should be withheld from the health care provider. They are trained in how the body works and what to look for when things go wrong. They base their decisions on their medical training and prescribe drugs and treatments based on the scientific clinical trial results that indicate positive results in double blind studies.
Of course drugs get misued and there are times when the diagnosis is not correct, but overall they are trying to get a sick person back to health. The system is far from perfect.
They, for the most part, do not believe in alternative treatments, but that is changing. At any rate, they can not prescribe alternative treatmens without the fear of loosing their medical license.
Off the record, frequently they will talk about what they have observed with alternative treatments along with a few horror studies about the times when things went wrong.
If you hide this information from them and they see your grandfather's condition changing, they may wrongfully conclude that it is his time to die and his body is simply shutting down. On the other hand, if you disclose that he is taking
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , they can monitor for signs of oxidative stress and let you know if, or when, that occurs so you can stop that particular line of treatment and try something else.
They also may be able to give you some insight as to what is going on in the event that your Grandfathers condition improves.
Even if you are a medical professional and know lots about
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , it is always good to seek out a second opinion and compare notes. Unfortunately, because of the lack of formal study on MMS and the MMS protocol, there is a void of scientific information on it. This makes it very difficult to become an expert on MMS.
The long and short of it is that you should disclose to your Grandfathers health care providers that you are treating him with MMS.
Be prepared to back up your reasons for considering MMS as a treatment with testimonials and whatever documentation you can come up with. I have learned that one thing medical training seems to do is give the doctor a knack for sorting through documentation and figuring out what is the best information. Frequently, I have found that often they have already been down this line of reasoning before and they can direct you to other information to help you understand what is going on. They are also very good an understanding the information presented in toxicological reports and other guidelines concerning dosing amounts.
I have a standing joke with my doctor. After going through all the vitamins, minerals, and other supplements I am taking, he is convinced that I have the most nutritious urine and feces of anyone around... However, having nutritious urine and feces has not adversely effected my health at all, and I am convinced that I am better off taking my vitamins, minerals, and other supplements. A few more years of excellent health may convince him that my efforts are worthwhile. While I think this is excellent evidence, he is still looking for clinical trial results...
The choice is yours. I happen to think that having a health care professional on your team is a great asset. Use their knowledge as much as you can. Keep them informed and carefully consider their objections. If you have good evidence to the contrary, present it and see what they have to say. Together, I think you can do a better job of helping your Grandfather.
