I worked this up to help my mature women readers, and in particular, my dear friend Sally, who has not been listening to me. Here are the secrets she must use in the future to save her life.
I worked in urgent care in several states for quite a few years and one thing I learned to watch out for in senior-aged women was a sudden decline in mental status. We always got a urine specimen — and it was ALWAYS positive for a severe UTI. One woman had waited too long and went septic (started becoming unresponsive) right in front of us and had to be transported to the ER via ambulance from our urgent care. Another thing, very often senior-aged women do not have burning with urination, so this is not a reliable method to rule out a UTI. We had another older woman who’s husband was really stressed out and anxious because his wife had felt “really unwell” for over 8 months and she needed his constant care, but she refused to go see a dr. When he finally convinced her to come to Urgent Care, all she could say about how she felt was “really unwell.” They were asked when this started and she gave a time of 8 months ago. Then they were asked what going on in her life 8-9 month ago and she said she was hospitalized for surgery. When questioned more she answered ‘yes” that she was given a urinary catheter during her hospital stay. This suggested a possible UTI from the urinary catheter (happens more often than you would think), so we did a urine dip on a sample from her and it was dark purple from the leukocytes, and there was also blood. So she’d had a UTI for about 8 months and was feeling “really unwell” that whole time. Of course she was treated and her husband was very happy someone took his concerns seriously. This woman did not have any other obvious UTI Symptoms. So, getting a urine specimen and doing a dip then a culture if it’s positive was a standing order for older women who just didn’t feel well with no other symptoms. Also, I am an older women, I remember driving along a road that I had driven hundreds of times, there was the usual curve in the road ahead and I got confused and didn’t know what to do ‘about that curve in the road.’ I realized I had a sudden mental status change and pulled over and had my daughter drive me to an urgent care that was 1 minute away on that road. I had a raging UTI (no other symptoms) and was given a Rocephin injection (ouch) and a course of antibiotics, and they sent the specimen out for culture. So, family members need to be aware of this symptom — a sudden mental status change — because it could be a UTI. And don’t wait. It can go septic, and to life-threatening sepsis VERY QUICKLY.
It is so common… and can be fixed so easily. A short bath in CD… and maybe even a shot of Snoot! Might be the trick. We have a doc in our group who suggested it to a patient who had a raging UTI for weeks, she sprayed Snoot up her nose.. UTI gone in less than 24 hours. 😳
Cheryl did a hit and run post. She is not interesting in natural therapeutics whatsoever
apparently having zero knowledge about their existence or administration without ever considering the simple fact that they can prevent or treat a wide variety of maladies.
She opines that "was given a Rocephin injection (ouch) and a course of antibiotics"
as if there is no other option(s) That is false, patently false.
Good that the potent injection and the of course antibiotics saved her.
Not so good that knowledge is not pursued or advanced...
I get those weird “electric shocks” running through my hands to my fingertips when I pee (sorry to be so graphic). That along with the pain, burning and difficulty producing any urine is a dead giveaway to me. I was shocked that I didn’t need to resort to an antibiotic.
depends on what you do with it .....you can put it in a capsule with oil and ingest , it will burn on your skin unless diluted , I take oregano leaf 3 x a day .
Awesome Substack Robert! I have polycystic kidney disease. My kidney function is, and has remained, at about 38%. I also have cysts on my liver and pancreas. My kidney function was at its worst while I was seeing a nephrologist. I take no medications for my kidneys, or anything else, with the exception of bio identical progesterone. There was a time when I would have frequent UTI’s, but since I stopped using anything but water for cleansing that area, I have not had a single one. I do take methylene blue, and chlorine dioxide. I wonder sometimes, what health concerns would I be experiencing if I didn’t take them? I get bio identical hormone pellets (testosterone and estradiol) every three months, and have for five years. One of the best health decisions I ever made!

“Cipro, for example, has risks of serious, disabling, and potentially permanent side effects, including tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and central nervous system issues.”
I was on cipro intravenously for about six months when I had osteomyelitis in the heel bone of my left foot. I now have an unexplained rupture in the patella tendon in my right leg, very severe peripheral neuropathy, and central nervous system issues. Not a single allopathic “doctor” I have seen, has made the connection.
I have no vaginal dryness, in fact, just the opposite. I researched hormone replacement for a full year before I chose to get pellets, and I’ve never had a second thought. But thank you
I have been taking D-mannose for 20 years , I started with a UTI , and have maintained it with low dose mannose ,all these years . I was so happy to see this article .
I was also happy to see you Robert sunbathing with DMSO . I was always scared of DMSO , because of the Big pHARMa lies about it , still I used it , for the past 20 years ,with good results , the past 4 years , I ingest it , made 5% eyedrops , use as a mouthwash , and rub it all over my body , including my thyroid . Most of the time using 50% solution . I have started using it in my nebulizer , 1/4 tea, 50% in the nebulizer cup with sterile water. I stopped taking blood pressure meds , before they killed me , and I am also allergic to ALL antibiotics due to over prescribing from doctors for many decades .I am 75+ . My husband also uses DMSO,and takes no drugs . We use DMSO and D-mannose every day. Thank you so much for this wonderful article .
I put one drop of this, directly in each eye, twice a day. Results for many has been resolution of cataracts and high pressure in the eye, medically termed as glaucoma
I turned 74 last month. You are inspirational Sharon. I have been using DMSO for several years, but not sunbathing. It makes sense though. If it carries other substances with it when it absorbs into the body, it probably would also carry sunlight with it, don’t you think? One thing seldom mentioned is state of mind. If you don’t have a positive attitude (state of mind) your own negative thoughts will be your downfall. Read “Biology of Belief”, by Bruce Lipton PhD, and blessings to you and your husband. I lost my husband of 36+ years in November
I continue to follow Bruce Lipton PhD. He was once a professor at UW Madison, and I live in Wisconsin. His book changed my life. You will never hear me say “the older I get”, I do say “the longer I live”.
I am to this day getting his newsletter , he changed my life too . I don't hear a lot of people talking about Bruce , he also turned me on to his friend Gregg Braden ,another awesome man.
I no longer involve myself in allopathic medicine, only functional or holistic. Every health advisor I talk to knows who Bruce Lipton PhD is. One even went to California to see him speak.
I read Bruce Lipton many years ago , he is a gift I agree there is so much truth in having a positive attitude to having wellbeing and health . God bless you .
Thanks, but you’re a little late. That was quite a few years ago. I only learned of the ruptured patella tendon about four years ago, after two orthopedic surgeons recommended that I have my leg amputated. The surgery to replace the tendon with a cadaver tendon is extremely difficult, and the recovery is not worth it, under my circumstances. And there’s only one surgeon that I know of that would do that surgery. Dr John Nielsen MD, at Froedtert Hospital, in Milwaukee Wisconsin
Cipro was given to me at the urgent care for UTI. It didn’t work and then on day 11 after I had taken the 10 day course, I got plantar fasciitis which turned into something worse and had it for two years, couldn’t even walk on my left foot.
I took a statin for about 18 months quite a few years ago. I read “The Great Cholesterol Myth” by Jonny Bowden, then threw the statins in the garbage. My “doctor” went ballistic! How much was he profiting from prescribing them?
Thank you for this information! I believe this is what killed my Mom. She had UTIs for like a year and no medication alleviated her suffering. I wish I had read this 6 months ago.
Drinking colloidal silver keeps the uti’s away, just a little a day more if you are in crisis. It’s easy to make, you can also purchase online. thenaturalhealthlibrary.com has loads of info if interested.
medical lingo / when a person is Dx with an arythmia
(gets complicated) resetting the rhythm is the desired outcome
that lingo is used for the procedures
Spell check must have changed Cardioverson to Cardio Inversion
forgive not proof reading
"Cardioversion puts your heart back into a normal rhythm using medicines or an electric device. Providers often use cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, but it also helps with other fast or irregular heart rhythms or arrhythmias. Abnormal heart rhythms can give you chest discomfort and shortness of breath."
Good explanation. The “version” part of the word is short for “conversion.” The erratic rhythm is “converted” to normal rhythm during the procedure.
Interesting aside… The only difference between a cardioversion device and the automatic external defibrillator (AED) seen in airports and arenas is that in the CV device, the internal electronics time the electric shock to be delivered exactly in synch with the peak of the R wave. Delivering it at any other time (especially at the T wave) could cause catastrophic arrhythmia or even death. That’s why, if you have Afib, you do the $10,000 procedure instead of using a $1500 AED from Amazon as a do-it-yourself cardiovertor.
The question neither asked nor answers is why the "flutter" exists in the first place... The heart as an electomagnetic organ, more important than it role as pump.
The way it was explained to me is that the SA node, which “times” the heartbeat, has a failsafe node that can take over its job if something should cause it to fail. Afib happens when the backup node erroneously detects that the primary node is failing and “decides” to take over the timing. You then have two nodes trying to control the heartbeat. The heart muscle responds to the signal from both nodes, which causes it to beat rapidly and out of regular rhythm. This is probably WAY oversimplified, but it’s the way the ER cardiologist explained it to me when I first presented with it.
Great article. I've had more UTI's than I care to admit - I finally got it under control when I quit drinking carbonated beverages (diet soda, fizzy water etc.) D-mannose later became a good friend. Now I find if I take 1/2 cup of CLO2 with 1 drop activated MMS1 life is good :-).
Another story - an older friend of mine seemed to be getting dementia/forgetful rather suddenly and generally not feeling well. I told her she needed to see a dr and get a routine urinalysis for an infection. She went to dr and asked. He said no she didn't have any symptoms. She then said her friend who used to work in the hospital lab said she needed to have one. Fortunately the doc didn't push back and ordered one - test came back pos in spades and dr told her that her friend was right.
Very interesting article. My father has recurrent infections and biliary sepsis due to having a bile duct stent/internal biliary drain, as he had bile duct cancer. But it should be changed every four months as it gets bacterial buildup but the hospital didn’t tell us and so it needs to be addressed. But Iv not changed, as we found out, Bacteria and Biofilms builds up in the bile duct stent/internal biliary drain and so it’s getting to a point where every few weeks to a month, he’s rushed to hospital for biliary sepsis or if we catch it early, oral emergency antibiotics at home are used. But taking metronidazole and ciprofloxacin every time (or IV ciprofloxacin and metronidazole, and Gentamicin in hospital, ruins the gut microbiome.
I was wondering if the above things would work to stop bacterial buildup on the bile duct stent/biliary drain, that leads to Cholangitis ? Also I wonder if essential oil of oregano might be useful or colloidal silver ?
If it were me ,I would try 99% 1/4 teas in 2 oz. of filtered water 3x a day and see if I could get relief. I would take digestive enzymes , and herbal antibiotics , like L lysine ,oregano , burdock root milk thistle there are many herbal antibiotics to address this . I would rub 50% Dmso on the liver over where the pain is 3-4 x a day . Much blessings to you .
Mix 1/4 teaspoon DMSO in 3-4 oz. of water , and drink it down . That is what I would do . That is what I have done . I used 99% DMSO in filtered water.
Thank you for this detailed information. While in France, I had the beginning of a UTI and went to the pharmacy where they gave me an OTC box of capsules w a strong herbal odor that knocked it out within 24 hours. At least the burning and any symptoms. I stayed on them about a week.
Back home I figured out it had oil of oregano in them. Not sure what else.
How potent/successful do you think oil of oregano capsules are at fighting a UTI? Have you studied the effectiveness?
I had pyelonephritis in my 20s. Had a massive fever, could barely walk, and was incoherent by the time the doctor came to see me. I was in bed for a month, absolutely unable to care for myself at all. I had full time help because I as staying at my Aunt's house. She had a maid, so I was fed and taken care of the entire time. This would most likely not be the case nowadays. I lived in Chile then and it was common to have a housemaid. I was weak as a kitten by the time it was "cured". I was given antibiotics and massive doses of SULPHA to cleanse the kidneys. Cipro didn't exist (happily) and there's no reason to ever take it now. It's much too dangerous to our organisms (proven).
I sit in the sun, for up to 1.5 hours at high noon, weather permitting. Sunlight has many more benefits than D3 supplementation. Since I live in Wisconsin, I also take 100 IU of D3 daily. I get up in the morning and go outside and look directly into the sun (no eye protection) to set my circadian rhythm. Sunglasses are contraindicated. When they came out in the 1930’s, cancer rates skyrocketed. Look it up
Lots of wisdom here. Any advice for a swollen foot? Couple years ago it swelled and then went away with aspirin and Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. Now with same treatments seems to stay swollen, using also the inflatable foot and leg compression device to squeeze the foot and calf to force the fluid up, as well compression stocking part of the time. Thanks
Thanks, if you read all of that it looks like compression is fine if done properly and there aren't other complicating factors like infections, sores, skin trouble.
Compression prevents your body from healing itself, which God designed it to do, and I can testify that it absolutely does. Don’t take my word for it, get on any browser other than Google Chrome (I prefer Brave. It has its own search engine) and look it up.
Great info, I hope ur friend opens her heart to listen to U. I take methylene blue which seems to work on inflammation, come to think of it I shld start back on it. But was unsure about DMSO. But maybe topical w/ magnesium might help direct pain. I have an umbilical hernia and told that only an op w/ mesh will repair. I hate getting old.
If you THINK you are getting old, you will get old! Your brain corresponds with what you think. Read Bruce Lipton PhD’s book “The Biology of Belief”. It changed my life
Hi, just my silly sense of humour. I'm not getting old, just more things are happening to the body after 55 than normal. For me, I'm doing pretty ok, to have an autoimmune condition, w/ fibromyalgia pain , inflammation in shoulders and a hernia. I embrace the pain, that I am human that I need to take things at a slower pace and do intermittent work and exercise w/ breaks.
Like me, you are your own guinea pig. Every body is unique. Some things work for some, not for others. You never know if something will work for you until you try it.
I also take DMSO orally. One teaspoon mixed with 6 ounces of distilled water. Drink through a silicone straw if the taste bothers you. I take it 2 or 3 times per day
There are major benefits to DMSO but it is a non-specific chemical solvent and transport enhancer (affecting every cell in the body), not a precise biological signalling system unlike plant exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs). I am currently researching PELNs which according to AI " are being studied as natural nanocarriers for delivering bioactive compounds and even drugs.
They are lipid-based vesicles capable of cellular uptake and targeting, able to carry RNA, proteins, and phytochemicals into tissues. They already function as self-contained delivery systems."
In combination with probiotics they carry instructions and communicate with bacterial strains to enhance their function (eg. anti inflammatory, stress reduction etc). They are incredibly complex and precise. For example fresh ginger and citrus PELNs have a direct interaction with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG to support immune signalling and gut barrier enhancement.
As a cancer patient, I've tried a multitude of things including CDS and DMSO. My neutrophils went from 7.4 (before chemo) to 1.5 (after, having gone down as low as 0.5 when treatment had to be postponed) and stayed there for about 2 yrs. A recent blood test showed them to be 0.8. The only issues could be CDS (I take up to 5ml in water) and DMSO (2.5ml) combined - I have a microscope and literally saw hemolysis happening in front of my eyes - the AI confirmed that taking this combo could be dangerous however there are no studies that I could find. The only other possibility is that was taking ivermectin and mebendazole, which have a v good safety profile. Anyway I just wanted to give you a heads up in case it was relevant.
The lymph node under my left chin has been enlarged and I am experiencing pain in the left side of my head, neck, and under my eye. I put DMSO on the lymph node and the other affected areas. The pain is gone within two minutes.
I worked in urgent care in several states for quite a few years and one thing I learned to watch out for in senior-aged women was a sudden decline in mental status. We always got a urine specimen — and it was ALWAYS positive for a severe UTI. One woman had waited too long and went septic (started becoming unresponsive) right in front of us and had to be transported to the ER via ambulance from our urgent care. Another thing, very often senior-aged women do not have burning with urination, so this is not a reliable method to rule out a UTI. We had another older woman who’s husband was really stressed out and anxious because his wife had felt “really unwell” for over 8 months and she needed his constant care, but she refused to go see a dr. When he finally convinced her to come to Urgent Care, all she could say about how she felt was “really unwell.” They were asked when this started and she gave a time of 8 months ago. Then they were asked what going on in her life 8-9 month ago and she said she was hospitalized for surgery. When questioned more she answered ‘yes” that she was given a urinary catheter during her hospital stay. This suggested a possible UTI from the urinary catheter (happens more often than you would think), so we did a urine dip on a sample from her and it was dark purple from the leukocytes, and there was also blood. So she’d had a UTI for about 8 months and was feeling “really unwell” that whole time. Of course she was treated and her husband was very happy someone took his concerns seriously. This woman did not have any other obvious UTI Symptoms. So, getting a urine specimen and doing a dip then a culture if it’s positive was a standing order for older women who just didn’t feel well with no other symptoms. Also, I am an older women, I remember driving along a road that I had driven hundreds of times, there was the usual curve in the road ahead and I got confused and didn’t know what to do ‘about that curve in the road.’ I realized I had a sudden mental status change and pulled over and had my daughter drive me to an urgent care that was 1 minute away on that road. I had a raging UTI (no other symptoms) and was given a Rocephin injection (ouch) and a course of antibiotics, and they sent the specimen out for culture. So, family members need to be aware of this symptom — a sudden mental status change — because it could be a UTI. And don’t wait. It can go septic, and to life-threatening sepsis VERY QUICKLY.
Well worth reading an experienced accounts.
You did forget to mention the simple effective inexpensive preventions and treatment
covered in this article.
Everyone should have ClO2 and methylene blue on hand and know how and when
to administer.
It is so common… and can be fixed so easily. A short bath in CD… and maybe even a shot of Snoot! Might be the trick. We have a doc in our group who suggested it to a patient who had a raging UTI for weeks, she sprayed Snoot up her nose.. UTI gone in less than 24 hours. 😳
Many are the potential remedies. Blessings

May I just add that I managed to end two fairly advanced UTIs with a combination of D Mannose and Oregano Capsules!
How did you know they were "advanced?"
I get those weird “electric shocks” running through my hands to my fingertips when I pee (sorry to be so graphic). That along with the pain, burning and difficulty producing any urine is a dead giveaway to me. I was shocked that I didn’t need to resort to an antibiotic.
Would essential oil of oregano work ?
Yes - two eye drops three times daily.

Have a sizable bottle in pharmacy. Tend to use colloidal silver as a topical wound disinfectant as it is sprayable. Realize some use it internally.
Taking it as a supplement is interesting.
https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196020/episodes/14335150
So far read about 60% of this well reasoned excellent advice.
ClO2 and methylene blue for the win. No household should be without.
There are differing opinions on how to use ClO2 although it appears there
are not toxicity concerns. It is nasty due to the Chlorine.
Infections are commonly preceded by inflammation. The inflammation is the
opportunity phase. When ignored may proceed into infection. Once blood born
we have a serious problem.
Currently monitoring a retired high level nurse in Cardioversion "therapy"
She ignored an infection, should have known better...
There are consequences for ig-noring infections.
The remedies are so cheap not having them on hand is foolish.

She then said her friend who used to work in the hospital lab said she needed to have one. Fortunately the doc didn't push back and ordered one - test came back pos in spades and dr told her that her friend was right.
Very interesting article. My father has recurrent infections and biliary sepsis due to having a bile duct stent/internal biliary drain, as he had bile duct cancer. But it should be changed every four months as it gets bacterial buildup but the hospital didn’t tell us and so it needs to be addressed. But Iv not changed, as we found out, Bacteria and Biofilms builds up in the bile duct stent/internal biliary drain and so it’s getting to a point where every few weeks to a month, he’s rushed to hospital for biliary sepsis or if we catch it early, oral emergency antibiotics at home are used. But taking metronidazole and ciprofloxacin every time (or IV ciprofloxacin and metronidazole, and Gentamicin in hospital, ruins the gut microbiome.
I was wondering if the above things would work to stop bacterial buildup on the bile duct stent/biliary drain, that leads to Cholangitis ? Also I wonder if essential oil of oregano might be useful or colloidal silver ?
Many thanks and blessings.
If it were me ,I would try 99% 1/4 teas in 2 oz. of filtered water 3x a day and see if I could get relief. I would take digestive enzymes , and herbal antibiotics , like L lysine ,oregano , burdock root milk thistle there are many herbal antibiotics to address this . I would rub 50% Dmso on the liver over where the pain is 3-4 x a day . Much blessings to you .
Butyrate, a short chain fatty acid, is extremely helpful for the gut
99% Dmso .
too high
Drinking it ??
yes.
Mix 1/4 teaspoon DMSO in 3-4 oz. of water , and drink it down . That is what I would do . That is what I have done . I used 99% DMSO in filtered water.
He probably can’t answer that due to liability potential. If it were me? I’d try it.
no clue sorry
I would try these treatments. They are seemingly harmless and may well help. You will know soon enough if the ER visits become less frequent.
What toilet paper are you using?

Thank you for this detailed information. While in France, I had the beginning of a UTI and went to the pharmacy where they gave me an OTC box of capsules w a strong herbal odor that knocked it out within 24 hours. At least the burning and any symptoms. I stayed on them about a week.
Back home I figured out it had oil of oregano in them. Not sure what else.
How potent/successful do you think oil of oregano capsules are at fighting a UTI? Have you studied the effectiveness?
Thank you.
My mother died of this.
I had pyelonephritis in my 20s. Had a massive fever, could barely walk, and was incoherent by the time the doctor came to see me. I was in bed for a month, absolutely unable to care for myself at all. I had full time help because I as staying at my Aunt's house. She had a maid, so I was fed and taken care of the entire time. This would most likely not be the case nowadays. I lived in Chile then and it was common to have a housemaid. I was weak as a kitten by the time it was "cured". I was given antibiotics and massive doses of SULPHA to cleanse the kidneys. Cipro didn't exist (happily) and there's no reason to ever take it now. It's much too dangerous to our organisms (proven).
I was given Bactrim and within 15 minutes has a seizure .
Not credible
looks like that's what i took. I remember the pills were enormous and I hated taking them. But they worked!
That is interesting. We use the exact same D3. 50K IU's of the hormone is a megadose.
Sunlight is well advised for any health seeker.
I sometimes take 3 of the 50 k Ds at once
my level is 120
For 6 years I have kept my D3 at between 80ng - 100ng. Accordingly I match with K2 and magnesium. Don't want to risk hypercalcemia. I am 94
I sit in the sun, for up to 1.5 hours at high noon, weather permitting. Sunlight has many more benefits than D3 supplementation. Since I live in Wisconsin, I also take 100 IU of D3 daily. I get up in the morning and go outside and look directly into the sun (no eye protection) to set my circadian rhythm. Sunglasses are contraindicated. When they came out in the 1930’s, cancer rates skyrocketed. Look it up
25 percent as effective as when we were 20
had several weeks of scanty sun in the sub tropics
Increase during those times. You have special considerations,
that explain. 120 is twice the titers suggested, still no toxicity concerns.
no concerns
So much for suggested titers on hormone D3.
Twice the amount most alt docs suggest without even
mentioning the lame RDA suggestions.
Found the A fib article. Your wife is very wise.
An excellent expose on treatment "options" that steer
the astute directly towards Mg, D3, CoQ10 to normalize.
That was always great advice for prevention.
Liquid Magnesium chloride is highly beneficial. Have been using it
for many years.
Like many other substances a must for home pharmacy.
Lots of wisdom here. Any advice for a swollen foot? Couple years ago it swelled and then went away with aspirin and Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. Now with same treatments seems to stay swollen, using also the inflatable foot and leg compression device to squeeze the foot and calf to force the fluid up, as well compression stocking part of the time. Thanks
Are you exercising for circulation? Short fluid tablet treatment should correct swelling.
Walking and bike riding when possible. What is "short fluid tablet treatment"?
5-7 days
Compression is contraindicated. Look it up, but don’t google it.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7383414/
Thanks, if you read all of that it looks like compression is fine if done properly and there aren't other complicating factors like infections, sores, skin trouble.
right
Compression prevents your body from healing itself, which God designed it to do, and I can testify that it absolutely does. Don’t take my word for it, get on any browser other than Google Chrome (I prefer Brave. It has its own search engine) and look it up.
Great info, I hope ur friend opens her heart to listen to U. I take methylene blue which seems to work on inflammation, come to think of it I shld start back on it. But was unsure about DMSO. But maybe topical w/ magnesium might help direct pain. I have an umbilical hernia and told that only an op w/ mesh will repair. I hate getting old.
If you THINK you are getting old, you will get old! Your brain corresponds with what you think. Read Bruce Lipton PhD’s book “The Biology of Belief”. It changed my life
Hi, just my silly sense of humour. I'm not getting old, just more things are happening to the body after 55 than normal. For me, I'm doing pretty ok, to have an autoimmune condition, w/ fibromyalgia pain , inflammation in shoulders and a hernia. I embrace the pain, that I am human that I need to take things at a slower pace and do intermittent work and exercise w/ breaks.
Why do you sunbathe in DMSO and magnesium?
just for the hell of it
all three help
Like me, you are your own guinea pig. Every body is unique. Some things work for some, not for others. You never know if something will work for you until you try it.
Maybe pain control . That is why I use it . Whatever hurts gets a rub of DMSO.
I also take DMSO orally. One teaspoon mixed with 6 ounces of distilled water. Drink through a silicone straw if the taste bothers you. I take it 2 or 3 times per day
I take 2 tablespoons a day or more in water
There are major benefits to DMSO but it is a non-specific chemical solvent and transport enhancer (affecting every cell in the body), not a precise biological signalling system unlike plant exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs). I am currently researching PELNs which according to AI " are being studied as natural nanocarriers for delivering bioactive compounds and even drugs.
They are lipid-based vesicles capable of cellular uptake and targeting, able to carry RNA, proteins, and phytochemicals into tissues. They already function as self-contained delivery systems."
In combination with probiotics they carry instructions and communicate with bacterial strains to enhance their function (eg. anti inflammatory, stress reduction etc). They are incredibly complex and precise. For example fresh ginger and citrus PELNs have a direct interaction with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG to support immune signalling and gut barrier enhancement.
As a cancer patient, I've tried a multitude of things including CDS and DMSO. My neutrophils went from 7.4 (before chemo) to 1.5 (after, having gone down as low as 0.5 when treatment had to be postponed) and stayed there for about 2 yrs. A recent blood test showed them to be 0.8. The only issues could be CDS (I take up to 5ml in water) and DMSO (2.5ml) combined - I have a microscope and literally saw hemolysis happening in front of my eyes - the AI confirmed that taking this combo could be dangerous however there are no studies that I could find. The only other possibility is that was taking ivermectin and mebendazole, which have a v good safety profile. Anyway I just wanted to give you a heads up in case it was relevant.
I love your work!! Thank you for all you do.
Do you divide it up, or take 2 tablespoons in a single dose?
The lymph node under my left chin has been enlarged and I am experiencing pain in the left side of my head, neck, and under my eye. I put DMSO on the lymph node and the other affected areas. The pain is gone within two minutes.
I have sinus ,and thyroid pain too , I put 50% DMSO on my face and neck ,and do some lymph massage . works like a miracle.
Do you need a prescription for compounded methylene blue pills? Probably need to find an integrative or functional medicine MD?
