My
dog (Princess Pearl a.k.a.
Pearly)
had a condition called
'trismus',
which basically
means she cannot open
her mouth more than a tiny bit, about a quarter of normal. It's
like a type of
Masticatory muscle myositis
or another neurologic
condition.
The veterinarian told us that trismus happens to 1 in 10,000
dogs. He
also said
"there was no cure for
trismus."
The veterinarian gave us cortisone (synthetic steroid with side
effects). This helped for about 2 weeks then the trimus
came back. We gave her a second round of cortisone tablets
and ended up with the same result. The trismus still came
back.
Then I ran into mms (miracle mineral supplement). I tried it out
and within
3 days she was
opening her mouth much wider. I was
shocked at how fast it worked.
One or two days after giving her the drops she could really open her
mouth but I got lazy and I stopped giving her the drops because I
thought the trismus was gone. But once
again, in a week or two we could see that the trimus was coming back,
once more she was having troubles
opening her mouth.
So I did
more research on different ways to administer the MMS.
They said that it was
better to give
small
doses more frequently throughout the day than to take 2 large
doses, for example, taking several mms drops morning and evening.
With smaller more frequent
doses, the mms is constantly being pumped throughout the blood stream
so that it can continually attack the trismus through out the day.
So I started with a new plan. My plan was to give her as many
doses of mms as possible for 6 months.
So whenever I was at home I would give her
1 drop of mms with 5
drops of apple cider vinegar.
(Most dogs do not like the citrus taste of lemons or other citrates so
I found that she could take the apple cider vinegar much easier).
I gave her the drops
every hour
that I was home. This lasted for
about 2 weeks. Then I got lazy again and started giving her the
drops
every 2 hours.
Then I backed off again after another 2
weeks and I gave her the drops about
4
times a day. I did this
for about another 2 months and then I finally stopped giving the mms
drops.
The trismus improved very quickly the
first
week but I still kept giving her
the drops to try and keep attacking whatever pathogen was causing her
this
trouble.
So my plan of 6 months turned into only about 3 months. But it's
been over six months since I've given her any drops and when I see her
yawn, she can open her mouth fully with no problems!
My other dog Tinker Bell (a.k.a
Tinker)
had a runny nose and after a few doses of mms it knocked
it out in a couple of days. This stuff is great, very inexpensive
and will last for a long time.
