I had the luck of having a step mother, an RN, who introduced me to Adele Davis. Then I learned that doctors could tell us to do stupid and even dangerous things. Then I read Kennedy's Fauci book and I'm so over these people. Here's one recent lesson: the substance DMSO (a substance that comes from tree lignin) was a popular treatment and even a cure for a whole host of conditions until Pharma and the FDA ghosted it back in the 60s. I had never heard of it until about 2 weeks ago through Robert Yoho, A Midwestern Doctor, and Unbekoming here on Substack.

This book is a great resource (for dmso and clo2 uses) if you can find a copy. I have it in pdf if you would like it. I am not sure if that is acceptable, but I do have a copy.

can you post that pdf, or make it available to your readers somehow? — nevermind, I found the link to the website in another comment. Should have known one of your readers would have it and share it with us! 🙂

Thanks Dena. Another fantastic source of truth.

There is also a book, "Healing with DMSO" by Amandha Vollmer, available on Amazon Kindle, unlike most of the older books which are not.

DMSO isn't just for pain relief; apparently it acts on scleroderma and lupus, two notoriously difficult to treat diseases.

Thanks for the information Mary Ann. 😊

Isn't it odd that most of us never heard of DMSO until just within the last month or so?

Also check out the "Unbekoming" Substack. The author covers lots of diseases and syndromes and conditions, usually providing a common sense way of treating/curing them. He also offers free books in pdf form.

The way I see it is that we all have to help each other find this information; I'm at the point where unless I have a broken bone, I will not visit a doctor's office or hospital.

Obviously, we (Jenna's followers) are in a vacuum of sorts. Understandably since our trust in medicine and our govt, etc has been eradicated because we believe they intentionally lied to us to harm us while enriching themselves with power. There is too much evidence to deny this claim and I refuse to be called a 'conspiracy theorist'. However, I wonder if we (me included) are being reprogramed in a different way...substack collects the data (I refuse to give my time to X) and the companies selling all the 'remedies' are simply duping us (me). I have perfect health (truly a gift from God) in my mid-60s, yet I bought all the supplements and find I can't keep up with all the recommendations. I have also purchased and began using DMSO for vanity purposes (little skin tags, moles, etc that have actually disappeared with use!). Midwestern Doctor, Things Hidden in Complexity, and Unbekoming are my go-to substackers and source of indescribable wisdom. Or so I think.

I’ve followed Dr Mercola for maybe twenty years. I’m getting a little fed up with his more recent posts. Lots of scaremongering. A Midwestern Doctor has a lot of good posts, but he needs an editor. And his posts on DMSO never offer advice on how to use it—I read through one of his interminable articles on the subject and then hit the paywall just before the important part. Pretty sleazy.

I've been wondering if we are all being reprogramed...see my previous post. It's seems all to contrived at this point. Data scooping? I have been calling on Wisdom, He is Faithful.

Dmso....I was so excited to try it after reading about it of A Midwestern Doctor's substack (actually became a paid subscriber over it). I've been freaking over my knees because I blew them out in a dance class when I was a kid and I don't want to have knee replacement ever (esp given the crap they give fat patients over it--I injured myself as a thin kid and had blowouts of the injury all my life at all weights, I have lost weight 4 times only to gain more than I lost back no matter what I did and am done with that bs, and I have no intention of submitting to stomach amputation or taking Ozempic.)

I have been using it for a couple weeks on only my worst knee, and it has been improving lot! Its a lot easier to do things and it doesn't keep me up at night anymore. Which is great, I have every intention of getting exercise and eating healthier food, just not with weight loss as a goal anymore, and I don't need old injuries messing me up and making it hard to move!

Also been putting it on my worst wrist (severe tendinitis from 20 years prior from data entry work, still causes problems and flare ups). I feel that is also improving but harder to tell since my wrist issues aren't as common.

My Mom had Adele Davis's book. We grew up with it in the bookcase and did not realize what an influence she had on our whole family to think about holistic health. I'm so grateful to my Mom and to Adele Davis for this!

Did your mom pour out the soda in the Coke bottle and replace it with cold black coffee?

🤣No she didn’t do that butt she loved her coffee!

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

That coffee idea was Davis' great solution to getting your kids to hate soda and thus never trying to drink it again. And I remember that Davis said never to use margarine because the factories that make it emit black smoke. The neat thing about her was that she didn't always know the science behind our awful food supply, but she nonetheless understood it is toxic.

"I can't believe it's not butter" ads for margarine in 1970s convinced me (then, a teenager) to NEVER EVER eat fake food. My non-scientific, yet inquisitive brain could not wrap my head around how fake food could be better than the real thing?

Over and over, the govt has condemned eggs, meat, dairy, etc and pushed factory food. 'They' told me I HAD to eat 3 times a day (now they've added 'snacks'). I have naturally 'fasted' (allow my body to rest from digesting food) since I was in my early teens. I've never had a weight problem (except when I self-medicated with alcohol during a difficult divorce, something I am not proud of but grateful for since I now have compassion).

I have not heard of Davis but will look it up. Thank you. And Happy New year to all.

Adele Davis was writing in the 50s and 60s and was popular with the people who were called "health nuts" then. I don't remember what her background was, but she wasn't a research scientist as far as I know. She advised never to eat margarine because the smokestacks at margarine factories had black smoke coming out of them. Those explanations were good enough for me, because like you, I couldn't stuff in my brain that black smoke was an appropriate substance to emit from a margarine factory. I listened to my step mother, an R.N. who also understood that doctors could be just as dumb as a box of hammers

I wrote my best friends memoir, the size of everything. That was when I first learned about Adele Davis. She was definitely ahead of her time! https://www.amazon.com/dp/0979913519/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_4X6RFBGSH8KX0D0SKNFN?linkCode=ml2&tag=jennamccarthy-20

I've used DMSO for several years. Along with MMS it comprises my health tools.

My daughter has both lupus and scleroderma; at the moment, both are well in control, however, when I texted her yesterday about what I've learned about DMSO, she replied saying that DMSO is neither standard treatment nor is it effective. I pushed back and told her what I've learned. She hasn't replied. Obviously her doctor has told her that DMSO is something she should stay away from. My daughter ALWAYS believes the doctors in the medical establishment. That's why she got vaccinated and boosted. And I've often wondered if the vaccine might not be the cause of her lupis and scleroderma.

DMSO has some interesting uses. It's remarkably nonpoisonous, in itself. But use requires caution. As a liquid, it's a magnet for toxins in the immediate environment. Educate yourself about the hazards and precautions. It isn't a drug, but it can some make drugs--not just mind-altering--more powerful in effect. You need to to live fairly clean to use DMSO properly, in both your body and your household.

This is the family lab of one of the original American pioneers in DMSO research, Stanley W. Jacob. MD. Purity of manufacture is very important for DMSO. They're also in the position to inform to about some of the possible hazards associated with the peculiar properties of the substance. https://jacoblab.com/?v=0b3b97fa6688

I have NO financial interest in that link at all. I would not have posted it I hadn't coincidentally read the thread to this post. I just want to caution that DMSO requires some knowledge and preparation to use properly. I have seen it work well on osteoarthritis, probably best with early onset. Doesn't help with rheumatoid arthritis.
