How Is DMSO Used for Ascites and Fluid Retention, Father Needs Urgent Care

Posted By Mslejt (Vancouver, Canada) on 04/07/2016

Please tell me how I can use DMSO on my elderly father. My 92 year old father has been the sole care giver for my 92 year old Mom who suffers from dementia. He has burned himself out. Suffered a heart attack last January, and a stroke this February. He recovered well from the heart attack, but his doctor loaded him up with medication. Had to have his lungs area drained last fall because of fluid. He bounced back from the stroke, but was kept in hospital due to some fluid retention. The doctors
wouldn't listen to us, nor would they check with his family doctor or review records from last fall. Had they done so they would have discovered
he does NOT respond to IV diuretics. Indeed the heavy doses they gave actually made him much weaker, his body reacted to drugs he was on and he
now has ascites. I took him out of hospital.

Currently we are attempting natural methods to drain ascites (and his legs/feet are very swollen). Seeing a naturopath who is a trained cardiologist (Ukraine, so Canada said she would have to retrain so she decided to train instead as a naturopath). She knows the drugs and says he should stay on a couple. But due to side effects he has taken himself off the beta blocker and remains only on two diuretic drugs.

She gave us DMSO cream to use on his liver externally. I have applied it only once because I read it makes everything else he is taking so much more
potent. He is on a slew of herbal and vitamin + these two drugs and baby aspirin.

Please tell me how I can use DMSO effectively on him. I need to get rid of the fluid in his abdomen and his legs/feet. Thank you so much.

I too have have fluids drained - 3-4 liters every 2- 3 weeks. I heard DMSO works and Diatomaceous Earth.
