You're right on point. Commenter's like Free Radical are so annoying they can spoil a good comment section reading. But are easily ignored once you figure out who they are.
Anyway. I read the AMD every post he puts. He is very detailed and informed. He allows the readers the information to make informed decisions. I bought and use DMSO now myself. It has helped a chronic shoulder and arm pain. And I am sleeping better. I purchased a book on it and it is amazing on dry skin like eczema, on wounds, and sore muscles, I use it along with aloe vera on the dry skin areas and I use it will icy hot for sore muscles and it is far better than taking advil or others. I have tried it for headaches at the back of my neck. It works and I know it is not psychosomatic it has really worked for me.
Again than you for being you and writing fun and factual posts.
I asked my genius ai he'per, perplexity.ai, "What is the name of the book about DMSO?" and it returned these five:

Yeah, there are older books that predate AI generated content and I would look there. Just check that these are real authors before spending money. I have not done much research but have a bottle in the cupboard I occasionally use for muscle sprain so these may be good reference works, just use caution especially if the AI thinks the Author is UNKNOWN.
You could also read the articles from A Midwestern Doctor. Answers all those questions, all of them. But if you need a shorter summary, other substack authors have summarized his work.
DMSO Healing Bible by Alfred Mallin. But to be honest the Midwestern Doctor's stack on it is just as informing. I bought it on Amazon. I thought it would have dosages but it doesn't. That is what I am looking for. But no one appears to be brave enough to explain how to use it orally and what dosages and for what conditions. They all say what it can help with but stop short of recommending how to safely dose it. That is why I have stuck to topical applications, usually with aloe to prevent itchy skin.
I would love to know how or if dmso can help tinnitus. I think AMD listed tinnitus as being treatable & Obviously I won’t put anything in my ears without professional advice - but so far haven’t found it. I’ll keep researching.
It helps. I’ve been dropping 50/50 DMSO/Distilled water into both my ears. Let it sit in each ear for five minutes. Ringing goes away. Then I forget about it because ears are not ringing. When they start ringing again I put some more in. I need to stay consistent.
AMD is an American Healthcare Hero. Started using DMSO for skin issues and it is working. There are other health issues I would like address with DMSO. I have not encountered Free Radical. But, there are “haters” in all walks of life.
I don’t think Free Radical is just some shmuck who gets his/her/shmur sleepless nights from grifting. I believe he/she/wheeee is an industry “plant”. Their name was strategically chosen too. There are dozens if not hundreds of them and they were used by Democrats pre-election and went dead silent the minute Trump won. The job basically ended. But before that they were aggressively in any and every pro-Trump thread to plant seeds of doubt. The thing about plants is they are magnets for real turds to help do their grifting jobs but without any compensation. That gives the illusion of a majority. Those people are the ones that still posted occasionally after the election but ran to bluesky (bluecry) for a social balm for their wounds.
I think Pharma as well as the captured medical institutions decided to attack a problem from within by trying to plant seeds of doubt and derision from the inside. It’s how they have operated the past 8-10 years and so well with Covid. They have no other play in their book so they send out a sleeper cell, FreeRadical, and probably several others to key places with a bagful of seeds. They are hoping they magnetize many others to help create the wave of doubt and fear they need. It’s a very cheap strategy.
You can tell they are implants because they just show up out of no where and shit on everyone, then leave. People on C&C just ignore them now. We know when one pops up. And you can also tell a new reader because they get all indignant and try to argue with 'comment arsonists' instead of just pretending they don't exist.
I bought DMSO in early December because I could not tie my left boot without extreme pain from a bunion. In ten days the pain was gone, I mean gone. Now in mid January the bunion is shrinking in size. I had a dark spot on my face that is slowly disappearing even though I forget to apply it. All this and I havent used two percent of the container of DMSO.
Easy to buy on amazon. I bought a 70% solution, gel with aloe. It’s easy to use, try it on a sample spot - it will itch for 10-15 minutes - and acclimate yourself to it.
The greatest issue for Drs using alternative approaches is consumer liability. They tend to tightly adhere to a set of regulations because there is always a lawyer ready to tap liability insurance for any perceived injury precisely because human science is never precise and open to interpretation. Juries love to favor the victim vs the institutionalized one-product-fits-every-situation-mentality. I have heard many positives the last 40yrs about DMSO capabilities. Few studies have been executed because of its low cost much like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole.
Our liability system prevents cheaper alternatives. How do we overcome this?
arrotsevni (I spell it backwards first before I can spell it forwards), you have crystallized the issue for me, answering "Why don't more good doctors get on board?"
Having seen what "their own" did to the few who, early on, and probably naively, stepped up to report what they had discovered that "was working" for their Covid patients certainly could induce reticence in others.
In all the mentions of Big This-and-Thats, Big Law and as you suggest Big Juries manage to stay invisible.
It seems to me that the Supreme Court should be taking a hand in clarifying the lines of suit-craft.
well because if asked the first way people think they will get rich is sue somebody with malpractice. i don't "prescribe" DMSO i educate about it and even still i am potentially liable if someone is stupid and doesn't read directions for tylenol or something. Its a tricky place but if you know your clients and in big practices they don't, and if they take insurance you have 10 min to talk. So only functional practitioners who take lots more time like an hour can be more comfortable with outcomes and suggestions that are off the beaten pharma path. However we don't take insurance because an hour of my time is never going to be covered by insurance so the question is why do people keep going to docs that don't educate or work towards the reason for an issue vs giving a drug. It's about money of course.
From the "consumer's" side, we seem to have a sophies-choice of doctors we can afford because they take our insurance but then are hounded to act like assembly-line workers and doctors we cannot afford. (That second category is actually theoretical: I have not been able to locate a doctor who does not take insurance and publishes fees-for-service.) The best doctor, an elderly man my age, was driven from the clinic by odious methods, one of which was INSISTING that he TYPE everything about the visit "into the computer" while simultaneously insisting he "increase his throughput." (He was at best a two-finger typist.)
If you can suggest how to find a functional practitioner in my area, I'm all ears (coincidentally, the tied-for-fifth condition I'd like help with).
Hi David, I don’t know where you live, but some functional medicine doctors do zoom calls, and bill it as an office visit. I found mine through an IBS forum, Dr. John Bartemus who runs Functional Medicine Charlotte (NC). I do not live in that state. I read the book he wrote called The Autoimmune Answer. He is very compassionate and sharp, a good family man. He has been very helpful to me.
Claire, THANK you for the idea and the recommendation. I'll cast about the web to see if there's someone up here in West Gonsin but not MinneSOda or--BRAINSTORM--Texas--and see whom I might see.
You are so welcome, David! I never went to Dr. Bartemus’ office. Everything was done online or through Zoom. He ordered all the tests, FAR more comprehensive than allopathic doctors. He sent me in depth reports and the test results, and recommendations for treatment and improvement. Then we went over them with the Zoom office visits. It is not cheap, but it has been so worth it. So many doctors look at my regular tests and say I am in perfect health, but I so often don’t feel well, and I know why but they don’t listen. Functional Medicine should be accessible to everyone!! You will be in my prayers, I hope you feel better soon!!
In reply to both of your comments to my note, we are forced to self-educate and be our own physicians. By doing so we need to satisfy a threshold of safety and efficacy by ferreting out source information we can trust. We cannot use the courts as they are already compromised by the 'accepted logic' of the liability-suit conmen/conwomen grabbing from the system just like politicians and non-profits benefiting from the victimhood mentality.
I've learned so MUCH from AMD that he's my next paid subscription. If I weren't retired (and cheap!) I'd already be a subscriber, but I'm now in one ends-one starts mode. There are simply too many great substacks for me to subscribe to all of them (until my book sales take off and I move to Hollyw . . . someplace nice).
AMD was my very first subscription. I can only afford one or two more so I rotate others throughout the year to evenly support all if they don’t offer other ways to support. But I never rotate AMD. They are the one I want consistently. I’ve been a subscriber since last spring when all the medical reading started to open my eyes. I admit the election caused me to become a keyboard warrior in order to help either Trump or RFKJr and that took me away from everything else - and I haven’t read much of AMD in a while. However yesterday my son was asking about sleep problems and I promptly sent him to AMD’s analysis on insomnia and the industry capture of it. I think that was my very first article that I fully swam in and have had success with my own insomnia since discovering lipsomal melatonin through it. Ordered my son some yesterday too.
Remember…you’re not horses, ya’ll! But seriously, I’ve suggested that my mother, who suffers terribly from hip and back pain, use DMSO. She’s terrified because she can’t find dosage information. Any suggestions? My husband used it with great success years ago after barely surviving a car accident (he was pronounced dead at the scene), and I hate to see her suffer. Thanks in advance! And thank you, Jenna, for putting this important information out there!
That is the largest question left unanswered. Finding dosage information is seemingly impossible. I have just used it topically because I do not know the amounts for liquid intake.
he is quite clear AMD in his articles you will never need more than 2 tsp but one tsp is likely enough for most people and you work up to that slowly he did have that information AMD has about 7 articles now about DMSO read them all.
Dr Robert Yoho has a substack. I found dosage for DMSO in one of his articles. He said anywhere from a few drops mixed in juice in milk to a teaspoon, all the way up to a tablespoon daily. I have only tried topical so far and plan to start with a few drops orally.
The comments have many protocols. I have the little book available on Amazon “Healing with DMSO” by amandah Vollmer. Lots of recipes. I have taken 1/2 teaspoon of the low odor liquid found on Amazon in a glass of juice twice a day. Just an experiment. I haven’t lately but apply the tractor supply gel and rub it into pain areas. It took away ankle weakness and pain after a week. It itches a bit or burns initially at full strength but goes away. You can dilute with essential oils or caster oil. The book can help.
If it were my mother, who was a registered nurse, she'd try to figure out the dosage, as perhaps Native Americans first approached figuring out the dosage of the deadly poisonous tomato: starting small.
Of course, that didn't turn out well for the deadly poisonous Amanita, death cap, mushroom, notorious for being responsible for approximately 90% of mushroom-related fatalities worldwide, including in North America. And then there's fentanyl as well, where people die from the scariest tiny amounts.
But that's mostly off the table with reports of positive--even neutral results: if friends and acquaintances were dying from "experimenting" with DMSO, THAT would be the chatter.
Compare for a moment: WHY is it that there does not appear to be a thread/a narrative extolling the BROAD RANGE of benefits arising from TAKING mRNA vaccines? I'd have... Mom would have had no qualms about at least starting a MODEST treatment regimen, all the while looking for those hard numbers, but providing them herself/myself if they were not forthcoming.
What’s interesting is the internet just held a mic up to what society has been doing for a millennia. Before digital platforms or even telephones, we always experimented and tried to help each other by passing on “what worked for us” or our ancestor’s remedies and concoctions. Many people were helped no doubt, some even saved - and I’m sure some were hurt. It wasn’t nefarious or evil and it wasn’t even “irresponsible”, it was … LIFE. There is a risk in life, and the truth is that many of the SAME risks exists in the tightly controlled pharma world, probably worse. But now that they have their Big Brother Microphones up to listen to all of us they can create posters of “You’re not a Horse” to shame us and be glorified Karen’s.
many books about it a little one that is easy to use HEALING WITH DMSO by AMANDA VOLLER on amazon whatever and orally most people just 1 tsp is fine and work up to that tastes funky but also you will smell garlicky for about 2 hours or more after using it orally so maybe evening or bedtime more socially acceptable.
Dilute it 1 part DMSO to 2 parts water (33% concentration) apply drops (1-20) to skin and rub in to absorb. Using on skin at more than 50% concentration can dry it out and cause hard calloused/leathery skin that takes 2-7 days to return to normal after such a mistake. I apply with magnesium oil (Magnesium chloride solution) or Arnica (massage) oil for stiff muscles.
See if it helps, it can do almost no harm unless you have a lot of toxic chemicals on your skin at the time that it assists with absorbing into your skin.
There is dosage info both in AMD’s paid sub section and quite a lot in the Comments. Aside, Dr. Yoho last month compiled many of AMD’s to make searching easier. Scroll down to “I compiled these into a PDF and generated a table of contents….’’ https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/337-dmso-dimethylsulfoxide-is-second
There is a Substacker, Johnny Storm, who posts about his experiences with DMSO. I believe he is using it topically. He mixes it 50/50 with distilled water and then sprays it on problem areas and also uses it in foot baths.
I believe one thing you need to be careful with is using it with anything you wouldn’t want inside your body because it acts as a carrier that transports substances that are applied topically directly and quickly into your system, so you need to be careful to use it on clean skin. A previous commenter mentioned using it with Icy Hot, which doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
Free Radical is a quintessential Karen. Free radical is your annoying neighbor who calls the police or HOA if your dog barks or you didn’t put out your garbage cans properly. Free Radical behaves exactly opposite of how you’d expect someone with the name free radical to act, which means Free radical is a progressive democrat troll. You know, using a cause related name to mislead and misdirect is exactly what they do. Free radical is likely a sickly person who took all their shots and is on half a dozen prescription medications, and therefore wants everyone in that same situation. Free radical peaked in junior high school and has no life outside of internet social media.
“I think he’s just a very sad, probably very jealous, human being who contributes nothing positive or productive to the world and thus loathes those of us who do (or try to).”
I really appreciate Midwestern Doctor! I saw him talking about DMSO and thought of my mother who is suffering from arthitis in her back. It is dibilitating so much so that it affects (she thinks) her stomach. She wants to, but doesn't want to go to the doctor. She was prescribed Norco for the pain and has taken it for roughly 10 years. The actions the medical establishment took on in the past 4/5 years made her quit the drug (which is a GREAT blessing) cold turkey even... I sent her the essay from Midwestern Doctor about DMSO and I am hopeful that she will look into it. I do not force my opinion on her. This DMSO really works???? I read about the topical possibly burning the skin? What about internal...??? I am being lazy in reading, because Miswestern Doc's essays are long...Thank you Jenna, for being so stubbornly brave! ☺️☺️. Also, for making something so serious, light. It helps! ☺️☺️
Um, thanks for that tip, Rosie. Some of us may not, in fact, be the sharpest knifes in the internet door but we still can get a lot out of a good summary. And save time in the porcess.
Veronica, it would be a completely different discussion if you had some on-hand. (I'm already determining to get some based on money-where-mouth principles.)
Also, it DOES really work, and it won’t burn if you use it at a lower concentration. 99% will produce a burning sensation for about 5 min when used directly on the skin, but it doesn’t actually burn the skin.😊👍🏼
Veronica - yes it can cause a burning sensation. You can get various percentages of dmso in aloe vera gel that can also then be diluted down further in concentration with straight up aloe gel. It's a good idea to trial a lower percentage of dmso to see what can be tolerated. There's a great book on dmso - check out the dmso store on line in Canada.
My absolute hands down favorite troll is Albion who can be counted on to attack anyone who questions the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He/she/it/they is a regular on Paul Offit’s Substack “Beyond the Noise.” Of course, his attacks are all ad hominem and the facts be damned. I, too, find that responding to him irresistible. I’ve noticed that the number of comments that question or criticize vaccines has increased significantly in the last year. Other than Albion’s grousing and growling very few vaccines supporters bother to comment anymore. It’s actually fun now over there in Offit-land. You should join in!
I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that Albion is actually Paul Offit, in drag, as it were. He never ever responds to any comments as himself. I’ll do what I can to encourage Albion to show up here. You’d love him/her/it/them/Paul.
PS Just started reading your referenced post at FLCCC. I am wondering if I'm your only reader who'd like to hear about your experiences with your infrared sauna blanket.
I LOVE my sauna blanket! I use it nightly in the winter; it's super relaxing and I feel fabulous after (if I'm still awake LOL). I know it's weird that I only use it in the winter since my house is a climate-controlled 72 degrees year round, but I just can't even stomach the idea of it unless it's freezing outside. I can't point to any specific ailment it's "cured," I just enjoy how it makes me feel. :)
We moved from West Texas to West Consin (in a random-walk-sort of way), and we were not prepared for the cold, but we had our wedding-present electric blanket that we had become addicted to even Down There (no, not "down there," I mean Down There in West Texas).
Anyway wouldn't you know my wife's side went out and she flipped the blanket so the dead, cold, dead-cold side was on my side. However, as I was not dead, I protested, and it became one of those "issues" you see on shows like Jerry Springer. Anyway, I was asking a friend how he makes his wife do what he wants and make her think it's her idea and he just asked me, "Why don't you turn it sideways and put the hot part down by your feet?"
Saved our marriage... at least up to the next issue. But he was there for that too, always answering a question with a better question.
Anyway, we finally got used to the cold and discarded the blanket because "nobody likes hot feet." We heat with wood and it's hard (not the wood, well, yes the wood but the heating with the wood) so we let the temp drop all the way to 62 before either feels the other should do something about it.
So Texans have a reputation for being tough as leather boots, but I'm here to tell you, they doff their hats to Midwesterners who go down to get the mail when its in the 20s with no coat on, and say, "I wish I could be like that."
Texans must bow to the ground as you walk by! (I was taught in school in Texas that "Yes, Alaska is technically the biggest state because states are not required to be melted before measurement.")
There are freaks of nature everywhere. I live in Maryland, and my youngest son
wanted to wear shorts and sandals in the winter. I finally gave in when he was about 16 years old. I figured he was old enough to know to avoid frostbite. But I always made him keep a jacket in the car in case it broke down. We go on walks, and his attire is a frequent topic for commentary by those we've encounter. And at the local college, the folks at the Help Desk know him by name, not just because he's a friendly guy - but also because they couldn't help noticing his lack of winter clothing. Coincidentally, his oldest brother was born in Houston, and received two Merino Wool pieces of clothing this Christmas - he definitely feels the cold.
Yep. I moved from Philly to central Illinois in the early 70s, and was astonished at how cold it could get. But after a few years, I would go outside without a coat on when it got up to twenty degrees. I mostly kept my little house at 62 degrees to save on heating bills. Now I am in Florida, so that's not an issue.
Been following the DMSO on AMWD but it’s still unclear to me how it is to be used? Topically? Internally? I have some industrial grade that I use on farm animals, but hoping for info on exactly how to use? Husband has dupuytran’s in one hand , any suggestions anyone?
With all that has happened in the last (almost) 5 years I’ve just come to the conclusion you can’t fix or fight stupid.
People use it both ways but I'm a little scared to ingest it, TBH! I mix mine half and half with organic castor oil and apply topically like any lotion or cream. (I link the brands I bought several times in the FLCCC comments, and NO I AM NOT AN AMAZON AFFILIATE hahahahaha.) Lots of comments there on how folks are using it internally as well...
I took it internally for 3 days (1tsp in orange juice- nasty taste) and felt like a rockstar! Only thing is I smelled like the inside of a jar of garlic olives which isn’t helpful for one’s love life. 😜 Also gave it to my dad for his Parkinson’s, and his tremors have been cut by 50%
And what, exactly, is the knock on being an affiliate (I'm not, but wish I were, some how)? It's not like the price is higher because of the affiliation. It's more like some of the dough gets directed to someone you actually, you know, (imagine you) know and like.
I get the abuse-factor: an undisclosed affiliate could be just shilling for products, blowing up the value while shorting the downsides, but if an affiliation is disclosed? Isn't that like when you go out to buy your dogfood, you buy what Tom Selleck says he likes because some of your guilders end up in his pocket?
I may be just nigh, Eve, but if you want to affiliate with an economic superpower run by an egomaniacal good-deed-doer, I say go for it. Just let people know who you're "with." I mean I would, if I could swing it, some how.
Follow his directions for checking to see if you can use. A patch test. I lather it on wherever I think I need it. It definitely stopped my shoulder pain which will come back because of scoliosis. Working on a knee pain that happened last night.
If you go near the end of his article, he gives ideas how to use. The comments section also helps from people who have used.
My husband has a sulfur allergy. I put a spot on him. He started complaining of burning which is a normal symptom. With dementia, I can’t tell if it really was that bad. Then I found a “roll on DMSO” he had bought back when he was ordering all kinds of supplements! Sooo…what can I say? Worth a try!
several commenters on the FLCCC post recommend roll-ons... and spray, which is fairly genius for hard to reach places (which my shoulders would have been when I started!)
I was shocked when I found it and here he was making a deal about a patch test. When he is off Eliquis, I will try again and remind him he had the roll on DMSO in his medicine shelf!!!
AMD was the first substack author I ran across several years ago, which lead me to a goldmine of great authors on substack, including you.
Some of these alternative medicine naysayers in the comments are highly amusing (No!!! It is POISON!!!! My friend took some once and his dick fell off!!! Don't do this to yourself!!!) But the ones that irritate me are people like Geoff Pain phd, who puts out SOME good information, but also snipes at AMD and others, and bad-mouths many of the alternative therapies and repurposed drugs (his picture of a blue brain from the autopsy of someone using methylene blue is kind of cute though).
“It is poison!” I get that rant when I am warned to stay away from my vitamin D supplements. I’m still undecided about it and still researching. I see both sides of the argument. I get that rat poisoning is vitamin D, but maybe it’s poisonous to them and not us? Or maybe it’s dosing? I know there are a LOT of approved drugs that are downright dangerous at higher doses. Heck even an overdose of naturally grown penicillin can hurt you. (Like eating too much of something that has it growing). I hate being so on the fence about the Vitamin D. But I can’t help but notice there ARE safe and effective uses of SOME things in micro-dosages.
When D was used in rat poison it was in extremely high doses - far more than anyone would take as a supplement. Like many, I believe that unless you live in the tropics you're probably D deficient. 95% of people who were hospitalized with covid were D deficient. 95% of cancer victims are D deficient.
About 6 years ago when I was trying to get to the bottom of my many health issues (which ended up being caused by hyperparathyroidism (probably worsened by the omeprazole I took) an allergist tested my vitamin D levels. They were so low, like only a 5. She immediately placed me on 50,000 ius a day for about 3-6 months. Of course my hyperparathyroidism was triggering a tsunami of symptoms and that was one of them. After my surgery (where three LARGE parathyroid tumors were removed) I switched my diet to low carb, no sugar, no processed foods. Ever. I’m literally a new creation. My vitamin D levels resettled to normal ranges. Today I make sure to take about 5,000 ius a day regularly. We live in the northern Midwest so we ALL are deficient. And I now sit in the sun for 30 min minimum every day in spring thru fall if not raining.
I'm also in the Midwest and several years ago I had my D level checked at the end of summer, and I had been out in the sun constantly. My level was surprisingly low, so since then I've been taking 5,000 iu in the summer and 10,000 during the cold months, which keeps me in the 50 to 75 range.
Their education consists of a few hours on nutrition and many years on which drugs to prescribe which symptoms. And they don't make much money off of people who are healthy.
exactly. I'm hardly healthy but I know there is more good than harm in taking certain supplements. He did prescribe two new drugs, which I said I won't take and I don't, and instead of sending me to an ENT for sinus issues he sent me to a surgeon disguised as an ENT :) Her suggestion was have the surgery because we won't help you any further without it. I have had better results with reading the internet for help LOL! Seriously.
You're right on point. Commenter's like Free Radical are so annoying they can spoil a good comment section reading. But are easily ignored once you figure out who they are.
Anyway. I read the AMD every post he puts. He is very detailed and informed. He allows the readers the information to make informed decisions. I bought and use DMSO now myself. It has helped a chronic shoulder and arm pain. And I am sleeping better. I purchased a book on it and it is amazing on dry skin like eczema, on wounds, and sore muscles, I use it along with aloe vera on the dry skin areas and I use it will icy hot for sore muscles and it is far better than taking advil or others. I have tried it for headaches at the back of my neck. It works and I know it is not psychosomatic it has really worked for me.
Again than you for being you and writing fun and factual posts.

Yeah, there are older books that predate AI generated content and I would look there. Just check that these are real authors before spending money. I have not done much research but have a bottle in the cupboard I occasionally use for muscle sprain so these may be good reference works, just use caution especially if the AI thinks the Author is UNKNOWN.
Wow! Thanks!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
🌻💗🙏🤗
Dear SteveO: could you please share the name of the book you used to reference using DMSO?
I’ve been wanting to use it for literally YEARS, but my doc says “It’s dangerous!”….as he also did with Ivermectin :-(
(*Thank you in advance! I’m hoping it might be in the library!)
You could also read the articles from A Midwestern Doctor. Answers all those questions, all of them. But if you need a shorter summary, other substack authors have summarized his work.
Thank you, Mark!
(You just gotta LOVE this community! I sure do!)💗
Oops! Nevermind! You answered it further on in the thread! THANK YOU!💗
Hi Steve, What is the name of the book, if you don’t mind sharing?
DMSO Healing Bible
Thanks!
Steveo. Would you mind sharing the name of the book?
DMSO Healing Bible by Alfred Mallin. But to be honest the Midwestern Doctor's stack on it is just as informing. I bought it on Amazon. I thought it would have dosages but it doesn't. That is what I am looking for. But no one appears to be brave enough to explain how to use it orally and what dosages and for what conditions. They all say what it can help with but stop short of recommending how to safely dose it. That is why I have stuck to topical applications, usually with aloe to prevent itchy skin.
Thanks!!!
I would love to know how or if dmso can help tinnitus. I think AMD listed tinnitus as being treatable & Obviously I won’t put anything in my ears without professional advice - but so far haven’t found it. I’ll keep researching.
It helps. I’ve been dropping 50/50 DMSO/Distilled water into both my ears. Let it sit in each ear for five minutes. Ringing goes away. Then I forget about it because ears are not ringing. When they start ringing again I put some more in. I need to stay consistent.
Thanks so much for the tip!

Amandha Vollmer wrote a DMSO book. I'd suggest looking her up for videos on Bitchute & Rumble. She's pretty awesome.
Thanks, I will!
Thanks!!!
AMD is an American Healthcare Hero. Started using DMSO for skin issues and it is working. There are other health issues I would like address with DMSO. I have not encountered Free Radical. But, there are “haters” in all walks of life.
I don’t think Free Radical is just some shmuck who gets his/her/shmur sleepless nights from grifting. I believe he/she/wheeee is an industry “plant”. Their name was strategically chosen too. There are dozens if not hundreds of them and they were used by Democrats pre-election and went dead silent the minute Trump won. The job basically ended. But before that they were aggressively in any and every pro-Trump thread to plant seeds of doubt. The thing about plants is they are magnets for real turds to help do their grifting jobs but without any compensation. That gives the illusion of a majority. Those people are the ones that still posted occasionally after the election but ran to bluesky (bluecry) for a social balm for their wounds.
I think Pharma as well as the captured medical institutions decided to attack a problem from within by trying to plant seeds of doubt and derision from the inside. It’s how they have operated the past 8-10 years and so well with Covid. They have no other play in their book so they send out a sleeper cell, FreeRadical, and probably several others to key places with a bagful of seeds. They are hoping they magnetize many others to help create the wave of doubt and fear they need. It’s a very cheap strategy.
DAMMIT HE'S AN INTERNET ARSONIST WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT ANALOGY EARLIER?!?!?!? Thanks as always, Juju, for the brilliant analysis.
🤣🤣🤣 Probably involved in LA fires too.
Also, the Great Syphilis Outbreak of 2022.
So many of them over at C&C!
Ugh and I bet Jeff is WAAAAAAAAAAY better than I am at ignoring them!!!
Spot. On. Thanks for articulating so well what I’ve been thinking for quite some time about “plants” like this on various other comment threads!
You can tell they are implants because they just show up out of no where and shit on everyone, then leave. People on C&C just ignore them now. We know when one pops up. And you can also tell a new reader because they get all indignant and try to argue with 'comment arsonists' instead of just pretending they don't exist.
And..."Bluecry". Lol lol.
So THAT is what Kamala was spending her billion dollars on...besides celebrities.
Nailed it.
Of course conspiratorial thinking comes with your package.
"Pharma" trying to keep you from your available just about everywhere industrial solvent.
So strategic! Such masterful strategy!
I bought DMSO in early December because I could not tie my left boot without extreme pain from a bunion. In ten days the pain was gone, I mean gone. Now in mid January the bunion is shrinking in size. I had a dark spot on my face that is slowly disappearing even though I forget to apply it. All this and I havent used two percent of the container of DMSO.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I have a bunion, too--I'm going to try it. (How on EARTH can that work?!?!?! #Don'tCareDoingItAnyway)
"I have a bunion, too."
POOF! Fantasy blown...
Hold my Geritol and listen to this! Haha
This is great news! It would be helpful to us if you shared product name, and how you used it. Thx.
70/30 DMSO/Aloe Vera. Bought on Amazon. 26 Bucks and its a gel you rub on. Smells like Garlic. 99.995 pharma grade DMSO
Thx.
Where do you buy it? Can u recommend a brand?
Easy to buy on amazon. I bought a 70% solution, gel with aloe. It’s easy to use, try it on a sample spot - it will itch for 10-15 minutes - and acclimate yourself to it.
Thanks so much
The greatest issue for Drs using alternative approaches is consumer liability. They tend to tightly adhere to a set of regulations because there is always a lawyer ready to tap liability insurance for any perceived injury precisely because human science is never precise and open to interpretation. Juries love to favor the victim vs the institutionalized one-product-fits-every-situation-mentality. I have heard many positives the last 40yrs about DMSO capabilities. Few studies have been executed because of its low cost much like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole.
Our liability system prevents cheaper alternatives. How do we overcome this?
arrotsevni (I spell it backwards first before I can spell it forwards), you have crystallized the issue for me, answering "Why don't more good doctors get on board?"
Having seen what "their own" did to the few who, early on, and probably naively, stepped up to report what they had discovered that "was working" for their Covid patients certainly could induce reticence in others.
In all the mentions of Big This-and-Thats, Big Law and as you suggest Big Juries manage to stay invisible.
It seems to me that the Supreme Court should be taking a hand in clarifying the lines of suit-craft.
well because if asked the first way people think they will get rich is sue somebody with malpractice. i don't "prescribe" DMSO i educate about it and even still i am potentially liable if someone is stupid and doesn't read directions for tylenol or something. Its a tricky place but if you know your clients and in big practices they don't, and if they take insurance you have 10 min to talk. So only functional practitioners who take lots more time like an hour can be more comfortable with outcomes and suggestions that are off the beaten pharma path. However we don't take insurance because an hour of my time is never going to be covered by insurance so the question is why do people keep going to docs that don't educate or work towards the reason for an issue vs giving a drug. It's about money of course.
From the "consumer's" side, we seem to have a sophies-choice of doctors we can afford because they take our insurance but then are hounded to act like assembly-line workers and doctors we cannot afford. (That second category is actually theoretical: I have not been able to locate a doctor who does not take insurance and publishes fees-for-service.) The best doctor, an elderly man my age, was driven from the clinic by odious methods, one of which was INSISTING that he TYPE everything about the visit "into the computer" while simultaneously insisting he "increase his throughput." (He was at best a two-finger typist.)
If you can suggest how to find a functional practitioner in my area, I'm all ears (coincidentally, the tied-for-fifth condition I'd like help with).
Hi David, I don’t know where you live, but some functional medicine doctors do zoom calls, and bill it as an office visit. I found mine through an IBS forum, Dr. John Bartemus who runs Functional Medicine Charlotte (NC). I do not live in that state. I read the book he wrote called The Autoimmune Answer. He is very compassionate and sharp, a good family man. He has been very helpful to me.
Claire, THANK you for the idea and the recommendation. I'll cast about the web to see if there's someone up here in West Gonsin but not MinneSOda or--BRAINSTORM--Texas--and see whom I might see.
You are so welcome, David! I never went to Dr. Bartemus’ office. Everything was done online or through Zoom. He ordered all the tests, FAR more comprehensive than allopathic doctors. He sent me in depth reports and the test results, and recommendations for treatment and improvement. Then we went over them with the Zoom office visits. It is not cheap, but it has been so worth it. So many doctors look at my regular tests and say I am in perfect health, but I so often don’t feel well, and I know why but they don’t listen. Functional Medicine should be accessible to everyone!! You will be in my prayers, I hope you feel better soon!!
We go around it.
In reply to both of your comments to my note, we are forced to self-educate and be our own physicians. By doing so we need to satisfy a threshold of safety and efficacy by ferreting out source information we can trust. We cannot use the courts as they are already compromised by the 'accepted logic' of the liability-suit conmen/conwomen grabbing from the system just like politicians and non-profits benefiting from the victimhood mentality.
I believe I have earlier mentioned witnessing broadcast commercials for Ozempic and lawsuits for Ozempic victims on the same day.
In stockbroker terminology, this is referred to as making money on "the churn."
Yes. I have seen that as well. 🙄🙄
Imagine if pharmacidical companies were only grifting to make money.
"pharmacidical" +1
and add "pharmacidal" (as I first read it, leaving seredipital credit to you)
I've learned so MUCH from AMD that he's my next paid subscription. If I weren't retired (and cheap!) I'd already be a subscriber, but I'm now in one ends-one starts mode. There are simply too many great substacks for me to subscribe to all of them (until my book sales take off and I move to Hollyw . . . someplace nice).
AMD was my very first subscription. I can only afford one or two more so I rotate others throughout the year to evenly support all if they don’t offer other ways to support. But I never rotate AMD. They are the one I want consistently. I’ve been a subscriber since last spring when all the medical reading started to open my eyes. I admit the election caused me to become a keyboard warrior in order to help either Trump or RFKJr and that took me away from everything else - and I haven’t read much of AMD in a while. However yesterday my son was asking about sleep problems and I promptly sent him to AMD’s analysis on insomnia and the industry capture of it. I think that was my very first article that I fully swam in and have had success with my own insomnia since discovering lipsomal melatonin through it. Ordered my son some yesterday too.
Thanks for the info! I'll be looking into the lipsomal melatonin. Who doesn't love a good night's sleep?
Yes, same boat. When this inflation subsides he is going to get my support. He has helped us so much. Forever indebted to him.
Remember…you’re not horses, ya’ll! But seriously, I’ve suggested that my mother, who suffers terribly from hip and back pain, use DMSO. She’s terrified because she can’t find dosage information. Any suggestions? My husband used it with great success years ago after barely surviving a car accident (he was pronounced dead at the scene), and I hate to see her suffer. Thanks in advance! And thank you, Jenna, for putting this important information out there!
What @Laura Kasner said. I haven't taken it orally yet and as you know, I'm not a medical expert! :)
Nor do you play one on tv 🤣
That is the largest question left unanswered. Finding dosage information is seemingly impossible. I have just used it topically because I do not know the amounts for liquid intake.
Commenters have included oral dosages.
I’ve often found “gold” in the comments.
he is quite clear AMD in his articles you will never need more than 2 tsp but one tsp is likely enough for most people and you work up to that slowly he did have that information AMD has about 7 articles now about DMSO read them all.
Thank you @debpost. I either missed it or did not read the specific article. I appreciate it.
Dr Robert Yoho has a substack. I found dosage for DMSO in one of his articles. He said anywhere from a few drops mixed in juice in milk to a teaspoon, all the way up to a tablespoon daily. I have only tried topical so far and plan to start with a few drops orally.
I couldn’t help but see YOLO - you only live once and then YOHO - you only “health” once. So do it to the best of your ability. Hee hee. Great name
The comments have many protocols. I have the little book available on Amazon “Healing with DMSO” by amandah Vollmer. Lots of recipes. I have taken 1/2 teaspoon of the low odor liquid found on Amazon in a glass of juice twice a day. Just an experiment. I haven’t lately but apply the tractor supply gel and rub it into pain areas. It took away ankle weakness and pain after a week. It itches a bit or burns initially at full strength but goes away. You can dilute with essential oils or caster oil. The book can help.
Thank you!
If it were my mother, who was a registered nurse, she'd try to figure out the dosage, as perhaps Native Americans first approached figuring out the dosage of the deadly poisonous tomato: starting small.
Of course, that didn't turn out well for the deadly poisonous Amanita, death cap, mushroom, notorious for being responsible for approximately 90% of mushroom-related fatalities worldwide, including in North America. And then there's fentanyl as well, where people die from the scariest tiny amounts.
But that's mostly off the table with reports of positive--even neutral results: if friends and acquaintances were dying from "experimenting" with DMSO, THAT would be the chatter.
Compare for a moment: WHY is it that there does not appear to be a thread/a narrative extolling the BROAD RANGE of benefits arising from TAKING mRNA vaccines? I'd have... Mom would have had no qualms about at least starting a MODEST treatment regimen, all the while looking for those hard numbers, but providing them herself/myself if they were not forthcoming.
What’s interesting is the internet just held a mic up to what society has been doing for a millennia. Before digital platforms or even telephones, we always experimented and tried to help each other by passing on “what worked for us” or our ancestor’s remedies and concoctions. Many people were helped no doubt, some even saved - and I’m sure some were hurt. It wasn’t nefarious or evil and it wasn’t even “irresponsible”, it was … LIFE. There is a risk in life, and the truth is that many of the SAME risks exists in the tightly controlled pharma world, probably worse. But now that they have their Big Brother Microphones up to listen to all of us they can create posters of “You’re not a Horse” to shame us and be glorified Karen’s.
Juju, you win the Wisdom Olympics today! :)
many books about it a little one that is easy to use HEALING WITH DMSO by AMANDA VOLLER on amazon whatever and orally most people just 1 tsp is fine and work up to that tastes funky but also you will smell garlicky for about 2 hours or more after using it orally so maybe evening or bedtime more socially acceptable.
Dilute it 1 part DMSO to 2 parts water (33% concentration) apply drops (1-20) to skin and rub in to absorb. Using on skin at more than 50% concentration can dry it out and cause hard calloused/leathery skin that takes 2-7 days to return to normal after such a mistake. I apply with magnesium oil (Magnesium chloride solution) or Arnica (massage) oil for stiff muscles.
See if it helps, it can do almost no harm unless you have a lot of toxic chemicals on your skin at the time that it assists with absorbing into your skin.
There is dosage info both in AMD’s paid sub section and quite a lot in the Comments. Aside, Dr. Yoho last month compiled many of AMD’s to make searching easier. Scroll down to “I compiled these into a PDF and generated a table of contents….’’ https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/337-dmso-dimethylsulfoxide-is-second
There is a Substacker, Johnny Storm, who posts about his experiences with DMSO. I believe he is using it topically. He mixes it 50/50 with distilled water and then sprays it on problem areas and also uses it in foot baths.
Here is an article by A Midwestern Doctor via Dr Mercola that is not behind a paywall https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2024/10/11/dimethyl-sulfoxide-dmso.aspx?ui=fc5f9744fb548abfcafc4aecbbe57a1f93245607d8c8b07555fe4f4e15e85512&sd=20240521&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1HL&cid=20241011&foDate=false&mid=DM1642580&rid=138677396
I believe one thing you need to be careful with is using it with anything you wouldn’t want inside your body because it acts as a carrier that transports substances that are applied topically directly and quickly into your system, so you need to be careful to use it on clean skin. A previous commenter mentioned using it with Icy Hot, which doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
Yes, start with 30/70 DMSO/distilled water. See how that goes. Bump it up if need to.
Free Radical is a quintessential Karen. Free radical is your annoying neighbor who calls the police or HOA if your dog barks or you didn’t put out your garbage cans properly. Free Radical behaves exactly opposite of how you’d expect someone with the name free radical to act, which means Free radical is a progressive democrat troll. You know, using a cause related name to mislead and misdirect is exactly what they do. Free radical is likely a sickly person who took all their shots and is on half a dozen prescription medications, and therefore wants everyone in that same situation. Free radical peaked in junior high school and has no life outside of internet social media.
"Free Radical peaked in junior high school" hahahahahahaha facts.
My reaction to Steve as well. Hilarious!
“I think he’s just a very sad, probably very jealous, human being who contributes nothing positive or productive to the world and thus loathes those of us who do (or try to).”
Bingo. I’m all too familiar.
My boss used to say no one is so useless that they can't at least be used as a bad example.
This is a great quote. Thanks for sharing !
Smart boss
He was looking at me but talking to my co-workers. But I'd have walked through fire for that guy. In fact, I shot dynamite for that guy.
I really appreciate Midwestern Doctor! I saw him talking about DMSO and thought of my mother who is suffering from arthitis in her back. It is dibilitating so much so that it affects (she thinks) her stomach. She wants to, but doesn't want to go to the doctor. She was prescribed Norco for the pain and has taken it for roughly 10 years. The actions the medical establishment took on in the past 4/5 years made her quit the drug (which is a GREAT blessing) cold turkey even... I sent her the essay from Midwestern Doctor about DMSO and I am hopeful that she will look into it. I do not force my opinion on her. This DMSO really works???? I read about the topical possibly burning the skin? What about internal...??? I am being lazy in reading, because Miswestern Doc's essays are long...Thank you Jenna, for being so stubbornly brave! ☺️☺️. Also, for making something so serious, light. It helps! ☺️☺️
Scroll to the bottom of AMD’s articles - he usually gives a summary.
Um, thanks for that tip, Rosie. Some of us may not, in fact, be the sharpest knifes in the internet door but we still can get a lot out of a good summary. And save time in the porcess.
Veronica, it would be a completely different discussion if you had some on-hand. (I'm already determining to get some based on money-where-mouth principles.)
Also, it DOES really work, and it won’t burn if you use it at a lower concentration. 99% will produce a burning sensation for about 5 min when used directly on the skin, but it doesn’t actually burn the skin.😊👍🏼
Veronica - yes it can cause a burning sensation. You can get various percentages of dmso in aloe vera gel that can also then be diluted down further in concentration with straight up aloe gel. It's a good idea to trial a lower percentage of dmso to see what can be tolerated. There's a great book on dmso - check out the dmso store on line in Canada.
Thank you so much, I will look into it! If this can help my mom, keep her away from the “legal” drug dealers…that would be great!
"legal" drug dealers +1
You're welcome
It's not hard to come up with characteristics of Free Radical:
* Definitely a Obama and Biden voter and thinks they were great presidents
* Found "joy" in voting for Harris and thinks Harris' word salads were inspiring and brilliant
* Suffers from TDS. Trump is more evil that Hitler. Everything bad is Trump's fault
* Probably has a bobblehead of his hero Fauci
* Happily took every COVID shot and can't wait to take the shot(s) for bird flu
* During COVID yelled and try to shame anyone not wearing a mask because the would kill his grandma. Stills drives his vehicle fully masked.
* Thinks RFK is a quack despite not being able to provide a single cognizant thought as to why
* Believes vaccines are the pinnacle of medicine because "they" say so
* Blames every event on climate change
* Goes to rallies carry a sign saying Trans Rights Are Human Rights
hahahaha #nailedit
My absolute hands down favorite troll is Albion who can be counted on to attack anyone who questions the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He/she/it/they is a regular on Paul Offit’s Substack “Beyond the Noise.” Of course, his attacks are all ad hominem and the facts be damned. I, too, find that responding to him irresistible. I’ve noticed that the number of comments that question or criticize vaccines has increased significantly in the last year. Other than Albion’s grousing and growling very few vaccines supporters bother to comment anymore. It’s actually fun now over there in Offit-land. You should join in!
I'm a little hurt this Albion hasn't shown up here! I will check it out. :)
I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that Albion is actually Paul Offit, in drag, as it were. He never ever responds to any comments as himself. I’ll do what I can to encourage Albion to show up here. You’d love him/her/it/them/Paul.
You HAD to express it. "Lack of impulse control." And Mary Ann didn't even mark it "Wet Paint."
I’ll be looking for Albion as well. Sounds like another one who needs a big “group hug”!
"group smother"
PS Just started reading your referenced post at FLCCC. I am wondering if I'm your only reader who'd like to hear about your experiences with your infrared sauna blanket.
I LOVE my sauna blanket! I use it nightly in the winter; it's super relaxing and I feel fabulous after (if I'm still awake LOL). I know it's weird that I only use it in the winter since my house is a climate-controlled 72 degrees year round, but I just can't even stomach the idea of it unless it's freezing outside. I can't point to any specific ailment it's "cured," I just enjoy how it makes me feel. :)
We moved from West Texas to West Consin (in a random-walk-sort of way), and we were not prepared for the cold, but we had our wedding-present electric blanket that we had become addicted to even Down There (no, not "down there," I mean Down There in West Texas).
Anyway wouldn't you know my wife's side went out and she flipped the blanket so the dead, cold, dead-cold side was on my side. However, as I was not dead, I protested, and it became one of those "issues" you see on shows like Jerry Springer. Anyway, I was asking a friend how he makes his wife do what he wants and make her think it's her idea and he just asked me, "Why don't you turn it sideways and put the hot part down by your feet?"
Saved our marriage... at least up to the next issue. But he was there for that too, always answering a question with a better question.
Anyway, we finally got used to the cold and discarded the blanket because "nobody likes hot feet." We heat with wood and it's hard (not the wood, well, yes the wood but the heating with the wood) so we let the temp drop all the way to 62 before either feels the other should do something about it.
So Texans have a reputation for being tough as leather boots, but I'm here to tell you, they doff their hats to Midwesterners who go down to get the mail when its in the 20s with no coat on, and say, "I wish I could be like that."
LOL all around! :)
And we former Alaskans who wear shorts in the dead of winter out here in the Hill Country of TX. LOL!
Texans must bow to the ground as you walk by! (I was taught in school in Texas that "Yes, Alaska is technically the biggest state because states are not required to be melted before measurement.")
There are freaks of nature everywhere. I live in Maryland, and my youngest son
wanted to wear shorts and sandals in the winter. I finally gave in when he was about 16 years old. I figured he was old enough to know to avoid frostbite. But I always made him keep a jacket in the car in case it broke down. We go on walks, and his attire is a frequent topic for commentary by those we've encounter. And at the local college, the folks at the Help Desk know him by name, not just because he's a friendly guy - but also because they couldn't help noticing his lack of winter clothing. Coincidentally, his oldest brother was born in Houston, and received two Merino Wool pieces of clothing this Christmas - he definitely feels the cold.
Yep. I moved from Philly to central Illinois in the early 70s, and was astonished at how cold it could get. But after a few years, I would go outside without a coat on when it got up to twenty degrees. I mostly kept my little house at 62 degrees to save on heating bills. Now I am in Florida, so that's not an issue.
Thanks!!
Been following the DMSO on AMWD but it’s still unclear to me how it is to be used? Topically? Internally? I have some industrial grade that I use on farm animals, but hoping for info on exactly how to use? Husband has dupuytran’s in one hand , any suggestions anyone?
With all that has happened in the last (almost) 5 years I’ve just come to the conclusion you can’t fix or fight stupid.
People use it both ways but I'm a little scared to ingest it, TBH! I mix mine half and half with organic castor oil and apply topically like any lotion or cream. (I link the brands I bought several times in the FLCCC comments, and NO I AM NOT AN AMAZON AFFILIATE hahahahaha.) Lots of comments there on how folks are using it internally as well...
I took it internally for 3 days (1tsp in orange juice- nasty taste) and felt like a rockstar! Only thing is I smelled like the inside of a jar of garlic olives which isn’t helpful for one’s love life. 😜 Also gave it to my dad for his Parkinson’s, and his tremors have been cut by 50%
And what, exactly, is the knock on being an affiliate (I'm not, but wish I were, some how)? It's not like the price is higher because of the affiliation. It's more like some of the dough gets directed to someone you actually, you know, (imagine you) know and like.
I get the abuse-factor: an undisclosed affiliate could be just shilling for products, blowing up the value while shorting the downsides, but if an affiliation is disclosed? Isn't that like when you go out to buy your dogfood, you buy what Tom Selleck says he likes because some of your guilders end up in his pocket?
I may be just nigh, Eve, but if you want to affiliate with an economic superpower run by an egomaniacal good-deed-doer, I say go for it. Just let people know who you're "with." I mean I would, if I could swing it, some how.
Raven - there's a great book on DMSO. Check out the dmso store online in Canada.
Follow his directions for checking to see if you can use. A patch test. I lather it on wherever I think I need it. It definitely stopped my shoulder pain which will come back because of scoliosis. Working on a knee pain that happened last night.
If you go near the end of his article, he gives ideas how to use. The comments section also helps from people who have used.
My husband has a sulfur allergy. I put a spot on him. He started complaining of burning which is a normal symptom. With dementia, I can’t tell if it really was that bad. Then I found a “roll on DMSO” he had bought back when he was ordering all kinds of supplements! Sooo…what can I say? Worth a try!
Love the idea of a “roll on.” Of course my mind just imagined an extra long paint roller 🤣
several commenters on the FLCCC post recommend roll-ons... and spray, which is fairly genius for hard to reach places (which my shoulders would have been when I started!)
I was shocked when I found it and here he was making a deal about a patch test. When he is off Eliquis, I will try again and remind him he had the roll on DMSO in his medicine shelf!!!
AMD was the first substack author I ran across several years ago, which lead me to a goldmine of great authors on substack, including you.
Some of these alternative medicine naysayers in the comments are highly amusing (No!!! It is POISON!!!! My friend took some once and his dick fell off!!! Don't do this to yourself!!!) But the ones that irritate me are people like Geoff Pain phd, who puts out SOME good information, but also snipes at AMD and others, and bad-mouths many of the alternative therapies and repurposed drugs (his picture of a blue brain from the autopsy of someone using methylene blue is kind of cute though).
https://geoffpain.substack.com/p/methylene-blue-toxicity-research?utm_medium=android&triedRedirect=true
I think it scares some people away from trying the alternatives.
YOU THINK hahahaha? Is that post [with the blue cauliflower brain] intended to be serious?
Well it sure scared me. I don't want to have a blue brain. Chartreuse would be kind of cool though.
“It is poison!” I get that rant when I am warned to stay away from my vitamin D supplements. I’m still undecided about it and still researching. I see both sides of the argument. I get that rat poisoning is vitamin D, but maybe it’s poisonous to them and not us? Or maybe it’s dosing? I know there are a LOT of approved drugs that are downright dangerous at higher doses. Heck even an overdose of naturally grown penicillin can hurt you. (Like eating too much of something that has it growing). I hate being so on the fence about the Vitamin D. But I can’t help but notice there ARE safe and effective uses of SOME things in micro-dosages.
When D was used in rat poison it was in extremely high doses - far more than anyone would take as a supplement. Like many, I believe that unless you live in the tropics you're probably D deficient. 95% of people who were hospitalized with covid were D deficient. 95% of cancer victims are D deficient.
AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
About 6 years ago when I was trying to get to the bottom of my many health issues (which ended up being caused by hyperparathyroidism (probably worsened by the omeprazole I took) an allergist tested my vitamin D levels. They were so low, like only a 5. She immediately placed me on 50,000 ius a day for about 3-6 months. Of course my hyperparathyroidism was triggering a tsunami of symptoms and that was one of them. After my surgery (where three LARGE parathyroid tumors were removed) I switched my diet to low carb, no sugar, no processed foods. Ever. I’m literally a new creation. My vitamin D levels resettled to normal ranges. Today I make sure to take about 5,000 ius a day regularly. We live in the northern Midwest so we ALL are deficient. And I now sit in the sun for 30 min minimum every day in spring thru fall if not raining.
I'm also in the Midwest and several years ago I had my D level checked at the end of summer, and I had been out in the sun constantly. My level was surprisingly low, so since then I've been taking 5,000 iu in the summer and 10,000 during the cold months, which keeps me in the 50 to 75 range.
the first thing my (new) doctor did was tell me not to take melatonin or vitamin D. And this is why I have an issue with the medical profession.
Their education consists of a few hours on nutrition and many years on which drugs to prescribe which symptoms. And they don't make much money off of people who are healthy.
exactly. I'm hardly healthy but I know there is more good than harm in taking certain supplements. He did prescribe two new drugs, which I said I won't take and I don't, and instead of sending me to an ENT for sinus issues he sent me to a surgeon disguised as an ENT :) Her suggestion was have the surgery because we won't help you any further without it. I have had better results with reading the internet for help LOL! Seriously.
