DMSO for Ulcers, Parasites and Digestive Issues

Roy (Harrisville, MI) on 03/09/2025
5 out of 5 stars

When I was in my early twenties, (I am now 71) my cousin, and I went to Jamaica. After my morning shower, which was cold, I brushed my teeth and gargled with some pretty gnarly tasting water.
Upon climbing the stairs to my room, I noticed an open air cistern on top of the building, where I had just showered. That was obviously the source of the water for my shower, etc. It was also the source of a myriad of parasites and bacteria that I became infected with.

Lizards, birds, and small, furry animals, etc. had been drinking and relieving themselves in that cystern that I drank from. What a cruel trick! For literally decades, I suffered with digestive issues and overwhelming pain. God only knows what that water contained.

Nothing that I ever tried helped to ease my suffering. Apparently many bacteria, such as H pylori are protected by tenacious bio films, which make them almost impossible to eradicate.

I tried literally hundreds of remedies over the decades to ease my suffering, all to no avail. I had constant, horrible pain from gas, indigestion, parasites, fungus and ulcers.

The bio films protected the H. Pylori bacteria, which was causing my problems. Nothing I ever tried could break through the bio films. Enter DMSO. Dimethyl Sulfoxide is an industrial solvent, which is derived from Pine trees. It has a long history of use in sports injuries. It’s also used in equestrian circles to ease the pain of horse injuries. It has a unique quality that makes it a fantastic transdermal compound. When applied to clean skin, it can be combined with other natural compounds, and it will carry the compound through the skin and into the bloodstream. Understanding the properties of DMSO, I had a hunch that because of its intense solvent properties that I may be able to use it to break the biofilms.

I combined 99.9% pure DMSO, approved for clinical use, with pure distilled water, a 50/50 blend. I began taking two 1ml droppers full, orally, twice a day. I then rinsed my mouth with another glass of distilled water. I took this on an empty stomach, so it didn’t react with the contents of my stomach. I followed this procedure for two weeks, and VOILA!!! My ulcer pain vanished. I no longer had painful gas. My digestion improved, and my gluten intolerance was dramatically improved. I’m not willing to say that it completely healed me, but it did more to improve my digestion than anything else I have ever tried. My advice to anyone interested in trying this, is to first read up on dmso because it can be dangerous if improperly used. As always, I am not a doctor, so seek the advice of your health care provider

DMSO for Tendonitis

Michele (Los Angeles, California) on 05/31/2024

I had pain in my upper arm and shoulder and I first used mint essential oil to massage it. For three days I had no improvement. After reading Earth Clinic's recommendations and confirm it with an internet search, I used 99% DMSO because that's what I had at home. As I was afraid it would be too concentrated, I first massaged it with a little cream then applied a few drops of DMSO. In three days I was cured. It is truly a miracle product for all musculoskeletal problems.

DMSO for Mental Clarity Following Long-Covid and Strokes

Drinking DMSO for mental clarity following COVID and strokes

I have had two fascinating experiences with drinking 1 tsp of DMSO daily following a case of what some might think is or call "long COVID". My experience was such that I became very ill this past year for nearly two months. It was essentially pneumonia, but had a lot of other symptoms associated therewith that made it feel much worse than a lung problem. Thought I was going to die with this, but I managed to naturally cure myself.

I found myself mentally clouded and having terrible trouble with recall (I was normally exceptionally fast and higher end on the IQ range) which has been a death sentence for my work. After a lot of desperate trials of various things I stumbled upon oral DMSO consumption for brain damage patients.

I really didn't have much else to lose at this point due to my recall necessity, so I gave it a shot. I'm about a month in of taking 1 tsp of DMSO a day with about a glass of distilled water and I have been amazed at the results.

I believe I'm at about 90% of where I was before and perhaps, in some ways, better than prior to falling ill. I think my middle aged mind is closer to performance of about 15 years ago at this point. I'm not perfect in recall as I was, but I'm at about 90% as I said. The ways in which I'm better is that I'm feeling more alertness than I did before.

The next thing to report is that a loved one who has experienced brain damage from a series of strokes seems to be improving finally after being also desperate and trying many "medical" options. So far we've seen an improvement of about 10% of where they were and it seems as though this could go farther.

I am considering using 2 teaspoons per day as some have suggested - maybe spaced out prior to bed and in the morning - but I am still wanting to be on this protocol for a few months before taking it further.

Oral DMSO is nothing short of miraculous.

DMSO for Peripheral Neuropathy, Shingles and Arthritis

Old Fart (Winamac, IN) on 09/21/2022

Regarding DMSO, I have used it both internally and externally for years with what I feel are very good results. I take 1 tsp of the 99.9% pure liquid every morning along with cider vinegar and H2O2 in a glass of water. Since I've been doing this, I can get out of bed in the morning, stand up straight and walk like a normal person. I also use DMSO / aloe vera gel for aches and pains from arthritis. I am 75 and have peripheral neuropathy due to agent orange in Vietnam, and DMSO gel is also a big pain reliever for my achy feet and hands.

You can buy both products on Amazon, but I found the pure liquid is cheaper at " Pet Meds". The gel is 70% DMSO and 30% aloe. From all I've read, and that's quite a lot, it is more effective at the 70 / 30 ratio when applied toppically.

If you want to learn more about DMSO, there is a good but short book available online from "HOOPLA". I don't remember the authors name, but the book is, "What Doctors Need to Know about DMSO."

At present time, I am also using it topically to treat my 'shingles', and it is working unbelievably well. I simply apply the gel several times a day. It has stopped the spread and kept the rash to limited space, as well as reducing pain.

DMSO Used As Carrier for Blu-Emu ointment

KHC (Atlanta, GA.) on 09/20/2022

I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and bad knees pretty bad, not immobile but really flares up on occasion. I have found that mixing 2 large heaping spoon fulls of Blu-Emu extra strength with 5 droppers of DMSO and 5 droppers of refined Emu oil together will make the pain practically go away for 10-12 hrs. The DMSO really helps the ointment absorb into the skin much faster and works along with the ointment really fast. Give it a try, can't hurt!

Putting DMSO over castor oil on the lower back will heal the nerves & over time alleviate the pain. Better yet, use it along with a ceramic lamp for even quicker and more profound results.

Recommended DMSO Book

Charles (Masterton, New Zealand) on 06/20/2022

A great book full of uses, reported cases & explanations: The DMSO Handbook For Doctors - Archie H Scott; easy to understand for non-doctors. I bought from "Book Depository" - free shipping to New Zealand. Example: 'Alzheimer's & Other Dementia'.

This writer had a friend who died at the age of 101. She showed no signs of mental decline. She used it (DMSO) regularly for over 30 years." We have been using DMSO for several years.In particular, we take 1 teaspoon of 40% every day, first thing in the morning.

As another precaution, we also put VCO (coconut oil) in our cereal. Buy this book -you will be so glad that you did. I am 81.

How Long Does DMSO or Borax Take Before You See Results for Arthritis?

Renee (Boston) on 05/14/2022

I put my 50/50 DMSO & distilled water into a 2 oz. glass bottle with sprayer and spray the areas I want to use it on. I then rub it in. I have been using it for 3 days this way with no irritation anywhere, including my hands that I don't wash after. I haven't noticed a ton of results yet but I think some minor benefits so far. I am also adding a pinch of Borax in my coffee in the morning. I had to take ibuprofen today because I couldn't walk on my swollen, inflamed feet. How long before I see more results? What is the average time for these protocols to work.

DMSO for Jaw Pain

Nancy (Lake Stevens WA) on 02/28/2022

I have recently started to experience jaw pain, and nerve pain on the lower right side causing nerve pain in those teeth. At first I thought I had an ear infection went to the doctor about that and my doctor said it was a sinus infection. I went to see my dentist and he explained that the nerve pain was from clenching my teeth on one side. He put some temporary pain medicine on those molars but it only lasted a day.

I stumbled on DMSO read up on it and ordered some pharmaceutical grade DMSO. I dabbed full strength on my back teeth and on my gums. in about 5 minutes all the pain was gone. I also put some down my jaw line and next to my ear and immediately I had experience relief.

At first I had to apply DMSO about every hour but now I only apply about every 4 hours. What a huge miracle.

Started DMSO Internal Protocol Today

ORH (TEN MILE, TN) on 01/21/2022
5 out of 5 stars

HI U D, ORH here, and your post on DMSO resonated with me as I have used it topically for most of my adult life. Today, I started taking it internally to augment my CDS program. Got this from the German Dr's website. It is supposed to be a catalyst to increase the effectiveness of the Chlorine Dioxide I take 30 minutes following the DMSO. No test, so I assume your state of health will indicate if this protocol is working or not.

I bought a box of cheap lab glassware to get back into the chemistry life of my past. The DMSO solution is made with 30 drops of 100% DMSO into a liter of distilled water. The drops depend on the size of your dropper so next time I will measure with a small graduated cylinder. One ml = 20 drops so I will measure out 1 1/2 ml instead of drops. DMSO is not dangerous, but it can easily pick up garbage from dirty glassware. Finally got my molasses from North Louisiana that I was reared on in the swamps of South Arkansas. So tonight my Tractor Driver is fixing pancakes topped by this molasses for supper. Been a long time.

DMSO for Sore Body After Flu

Marsh (Colorado) on 01/11/2022
5 out of 5 stars

Caught a bad stomach bug (or food poisoning) while in Mexico. The locals said a flu bug was going around. I always carry ACV, Lugol's iodine, charcoal, oil of oregano, probiotics, and a host of other goodies just in case. Regurgitation (8 times was so violent), I thought I'd be carted off to the ER. The next day my entire body was terribly sore, even my eyes, teeth and fingernails hurt. I rubbed DMSO cream everywhere that hurt (no - didn't put in eyes! ) and it took away the soreness. Eyes still tender. Just remember to take OofO in the AM, and at night repopulate the good gut flora with probiotics.

Fix for DMSO Smell Issues

Michelle (Utah) on 01/04/2022

In researching DMSO, I found a patent from someone who said that if you mix a little bit of raw honey into your DMSO that it will make it so you don't smell!

I've been using it that way since the beginning and I've never been told I have an odor. The owner of the patent said that the best mix is 1 part honey to 7 parts DMSO and 3 parts water.

DMSO Application Tips

Joel Rosenblum (Senegal) on 10/26/2021
5 out of 5 stars

Regarding diluting dmso for topical application, usually 50% dilution is good but everyone is different so just experiment.

To take dmso by mouth you can either put it in large cellulose capsules 1mL at a time and swallow them before they melt (in a minute), or you can just dilute it in enough water. 1mL in a liter of water is hard to taste. But you might want to use more, so in that case capsules and topical.

To avoid smelling bad, take extra magnesium and drink ( raw goat preferably) milk. Lots more info from the yummy.doctor website or in the book DMSO:Nature's Healer.

DMSO +Vitamin C for Skin Cancer

G. (Douglasville Ga.) on 10/11/2021
5 out of 5 stars

I used DMSO on a skin cancer spot, and I added a lot of vitamin C, and it cured the spot. Vitamin C kills viruses, and the DMSO helped it to absorb since it is an industrial solvent. It goes to the bottom, and a little more. Antiviral herbs and DMSO would work, too, maybe.

DMSO for Knee Pain or Pain Anywhere!

Ronald (New Hampshire) on 09/01/2021
5 out of 5 stars

For knee pain I use DMS0 diluted from 99.9 percent down to 70 % using distilled water. I put the DMSO into a small spray bottle and put arnica spray or gel on first and then spray my knees and around the sides a bit down my leg.

Don't put on colored clothing right away as the DMS0 takes everything you put on the skin and sucks it into the tissue and into deeper parts of the body. Dyes on the pants could come off and get on your wet skin and the DMSO will take that into the tissues also.

Just sit around and let it get absorbed. Works wonders!! I can walk without any pain.

DMSO for Dental Issues, Anti-Aging | Then Borax+Baking Soda for the Breath

Keeping the circulatory system moving is a must -

If you gargle about a shot of DMSO it will help tighten loose teeth, saturate the gums with oxygen while destroying gingivitis bacterium lurking at the gum line & then after a few minutes of swishing "Swallow" Yup, clears the arteries slows or stops Alzheimer's & lots of other goodies Ted raves about - ask & he will tell. But then ya stink like Potato socks or rancid garlic.

Now follow the Borax Baking Soda regime (https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/borax-baking-soda-benefits.html) & your sweat will smell like a freshly washed baby. Ok, maybe not but you won't stink like Road Kill either.
