Can DMSO Help Friend With Intestinal Adhesions?Posted By Justin (Mexico) on 05/10/2014
I was thinking that maybe DMSO could somehow prevent any further colon/ digestive problems and at the same time treating all of the thick scar tissue. I have been looking on line for any information aboat treating and or preventing intestinal adhesions with DMSO, but have not found much.
my friend has been a long time vegan, vegan cook, yogi, meditator. She is a shinning light. despite all of this she has been dealing with digestive issues for many years. If anyone out there has any information, thoughts or feelings aboat all of this I would love to hear what you have to say.
Ok, I wish you all a wonderful day....thanks....justin

In reference to your friend with intestinal adhesions:
Yes, a real problem after abdominal surgery. And those lesions can cause enough blockage to be deadly. The issue is can anything break up or reduce the size of the scar tissue. I've though a lot about that as I have some personal experience with the same. I have a theory and you are asking specifically about how DMSO might help. My thinking also. I just experimented with DMSO mixed with a small amount of Ammonia to shrink a cyst. The first application seems to have produced a small amount of reduction. This is JUST in the experimental phase and I'd leave it to the MD/chemist guru types to explain the chemistry as to why this might work. The cyst is just below the surface of the skin. So the idea of DMSO/ammonia to attack scar tissue might not be the same. I know DMSO is (among other things) anti inflammatory. Given that fact, is it possible the scar tissue growth is the result of inflammation?....and so the theory might be that if enough DMSO were applied to the scar tissue, then the size of the growth would diminish....Just a theory.
That is, would the DMSO alone...I am using a DMSO GEL...help with the inflammation?
So, if me, trying to reduce a scar tissue internally, I might try application of DMSO Gel every other day for a month on the sight of the surgery.
This too: Remember there are patches which are can be commercially purchased that can be applied to the surface of the skin that reduce scars. I believe those products have an onion extract as the active ingredient. (I stand to be corrected.) But the point is that there does exist substances that will diminish scar tissue...SO... my thinking is ... if I could get it to the site (internally) would that be a way to diminish the lesion size on the colon itself (or even internal to the colon).
Just throwing out ideas; 1. DMSO alone. 2. DMSO with an additive.
DMSO gel is as effective as DMSO liquid. Maybe more so in some instances. I'll let you know how my "cyst" experiment is coming. (BTW, I know that it is a cyst, because it was removed surgically years ago and grew right back six months later. Same place exactly.)

I have had 2 major abdominal surgeries. 1 for cancer, 1 for small bowel obstruction.
I have tried many things but the most effect was a visit to the clear passage clinic in florida which uses manual therapy to break apart the adhesions and restore bowel function.
My first visit for a week got me 50-60 percent improvement and this last visit I am closer to 80% improved.
I also take serrapeptase 2x a day on an empty stomach which I believe helps soften the scars tissue inside the abdomen.
Hope this helps!

Around six weeks into the DMSO use I began to notice a reduction in pain and passing a lot of clear tissue. Pain continued to reduce and subsequent surgery showed a breakdown of adhesions with organs (womb and bowel) no longer attached. Surgeons admitted that they were shocked - 3 prior surgeries alone to separate the bowel and womb. It worked for me. Read the work of Stanley Jacobs

Treatment has to be multifactorial. Remove the source and treat the gut.
1) remove the exposure to thing causing issue often lectins. Can be pathogenic gut infection and/or heavy metal toxins in gut. Nematode infection is known to go unnoticed they can create adhesions in case of endometriosis often find that infection. Chemicals in foods can also cause chronic gut inflammation. As can food allergies and intolerances like gluten. Gluten is a lectin some people negatively respond to and causes this issue. But there are many different lectins. I think Cyrex Labs has tests for this that are generally the best.
2) heal the gut dmso w/ aloe, castor oil packs, serrapeptase, herbs, probiotics, MSM. Collagen and vit C are also critical nutrients for healing gut tissue. Collostrum can be super healing in gut. Bifidobacterium Infantis can help heal leaky gut if that's a secondary issue. Super healing strain.
In 2010, I had laproscopic surgery they found massive adhesions in my gut. Turns out I was undiagnosed celiac sensitive to lectin gluten, I had pathogenic infections, leaky gut, gut dysbiosis, and heavy metals in my gut. They cut out what they could and I used castor oil packs, light therapy, myofascial release, iodine, herbs, probiotics. I was put on an elimination diet first to stop inflammation then a healing diet. Transitioned after into an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet that is gluten free. That cured me. That was long before I knew about dmso/aloe. Now I would include that to speed the process.
