If you have had a DMSO report you'd like to share, please do so here:

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-remarkable-history-and-safety/comments

When they are posted in other places, despite my best efforts, they frequently get missed and don't make it up there.

Additionally, the most current information on using DMSO can be found in this article:

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-heals-the-eyes-and-transforms

There are a lot of other DMSO articles in the cue, but I made a decision I needed to do a much more comprehensive review of the literature first (manually going through ~300,000 studies and sorting the 6,000 comments I've received) as certain studies needed to write the future articles cannot be found in any other manner. I'm hoping to have the next one done at the end of February or start of March.

Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

For anyone who's curious, this is what I still have to do:

This is the one I'm currently working on:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=(DMSO%5Btiab%5D%20OR%20%22dimethyl%20sulfoxide%22%5Btiab%5D%20OR%20dimethylsulfoxide%5Btiab%5D%20OR%20dimethylsulphoxide%5Btiab%5D%20OR%20%22dimethyl%20sulphoxide%22%5Btiab%5D)%20NOT%20(DMSO%5Bti%5D%20OR%20%22dimethyl%20sulfoxide%22%5Bti%5D%20OR%20dimethylsulfoxide%5Bti%5D%20OR%20%22dimethyl%20sulphoxide%22%5Bti%5D%20OR%20dimethylsulphoxide%5Bti%5D)&filter=years.2009-2009&size=50&page=6

I had to break this into a lot of parts because otherwise I maxed out the search results and most were filtered.

After than I have to do:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%22Dimethyl+Sulfoxide%22%5BMeSH+Terms%5D+NOT+%28DMSO%5Btiab%5D+OR+%22dimethyl+sulfoxide%22%5Btiab%5D+OR+dimethylsulfoxide%5Btiab%5D+OR+%22dimethyl+sulphoxide%22%5Btiab%5D+OR+dimethylsulphoxide%5Btiab%5D%29&ac=yes&cauthor_id=None&user_filter=&schema=none&page=1&whatsnew=None&show_snippets=on&sort=relevance&sort_order=desc&format=summary&size=200

and

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=intitle%3A%28DMSO+OR+%22dimethyl+sulfoxide%22+OR+dimethylsulfoxide+OR+%22dimethyl+sulphoxide%22+OR+dimethylsulphoxide%29&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&as_ylo=2025&as_yhi=2025

Plus about 10,000 CNKI results

While that's a lot, it's actually very fast/small compared to what I've done so far and is the tail end of it I feel can be done in about 2 weeks.

The big thing I am trying to figure out is if I want to do this one (it's the last thing left outside of those):

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=intext%3A%22dmso%22+-intitle%3ADMSO+-dimethyl+-dimethylsulfoxide+-cryo*+-synthesis+-oxidation+-Swern+-PCR+-NMR+-photoresist+-ligand+-extraction+-polymerization+-catalysis+-pKa+-swelling+-battery+-reduction+-chromatography+-solubility+-film+-gel+-solvation+-simulation+-dissolution+-electrolyte+-complex+-nanoparticle+-composite+-fabrication+-coating+-adsorption+-perovskite+-electrochemical+-deposition+-corrosion+-separations+-crystallization+-formulation+-dispersion&btnG=

Because the way I have to go through that is exceedingly time consuming, there are a lot of results, and many of the things in it will have already been flagged with something else I did, but if I don't do it, important things will be missed.

Part of the reason I'm posting this is because anyone with anyone with a database background can probably reverse engineer how I've done everything else (excluding the Russian ones, which were through Google Scholar and elibrary.ru and used the the terms dimexide/Димексид/ДМСО because DMSO was approved in Russia for a wide range of medical uses in the 1970s).

Despite witnessing family and friends dying of cancer, suffering heart attacks, MS, Parkinson’s, brain tumours, strokes, and heart ailments. Also record breaking number of people getting a pacemaker implanted. For god sake, how is it not possible to see what mRNA covid vaxxes did to so many. Coincidence, is no loner relevant. What will it take for the pro vaxxers to own up and acknowledge there is a very big problem?

Lori's avatar

And please be aware self amplifying RNA shots now for dogs and cats here in the US by Merck Animal Health for canine flu and feline leukemia. Rabies is coming here soon but started to be used in Canada already.

eileen's avatar

For rabies, ask for a thimeserol vaccine. It is the non mRNA shot. Thimeserol is a pain, but it can be cleaned from the dog's body in as little as 12 weeks. Being able to get rid of the bad stuff is better than injecting the dog with something that permanently changed the genome and through shedding can give you.

Holly's avatar

IMRAB is thimerosol free and is also mRNA free. Correct? Isn’t that a good choice for rabies vaccine in dogs?

Mouzer's avatar

Thanks. I already ask if the shots are mRNA.

Lori's avatar

Yes, thank you Eileen. I am in the veterinary industry so quite aware of all.

Mouzer's avatar

Yep. One has to wonder how many coincidences does it take to completely debunk safe and effective?

yantra's avatar

yes, vaccines esp mRNA are a big factor. but in addition there is the ever-increasing intensity and density of wireless radiation - think cellphones, wifi, smartwatches, baby monitors, security systems, tesla radar, etc and all the antennas required for the infrastructure: 3G, 4G, and 5G. . . even Lloyds of London will not insure companies against it's damage to human health. cell danger response CDR is just one of its' many manifestations.

Randy Chambers's avatar

To preclude the same happening to you, may I recommend you study the methylene blue remedy for the listed afflictions (in addition to switching to a Mediterranean diet and water-only for hydration. I also recommend the study of health-wise books written by Dr. Thomas E. Levi of Riordan Institute of Kansas.

JC's avatar

I do not recommend methylene blue for everyone. It is a serotonin drug.

Randy Chambers's avatar

I apologize that I misinterpreted "serotonin drug".

A patient on SSRI medication is an exception.

Yes indeed, methylene blue and SSRIs negatively interact in that when combined, the SSRI causes the brain to produce/retain more serotonin, while the methylene blue prevents the body from breaking it down, leading to severe serotonin toxicity.

JC's avatar

When you consider that 1/5 of all Americans are on some sort of psych adjustment - it's not a good thing to generally recommend, in spite of it's nitric oxide antagonism. There are other oxidisers which don't have this risk (but sorry, I'm not very versed in them).

Randy Chambers's avatar

I checked. One eighth is closer, but still that is a lot of damage primarily attributed to malnutrition caused by ultra- and regular-processed food and processed drinks. And perhaps up to forty childhood vaccinations (still being researched if they cause ASD).

As for MB, the labels should definitely state NOT to ingest if one is prescribed an SSRI. Based on Amazon.com images of the numerous brands of bottles, there is no such warning.

Randy Chambers's avatar

More importantly, it is a nitric oxide antagonist and thus promotes mitochondrial respiration. Besides, the Serotonin Hypothesis is false narrative (never been proven) created by members of Big Pharma to market more harmful reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) drugs to the uninformed and/or gullible public (World Psychiatry - 2015). In fact, serotonin is actually a "damage-induced inflammatory mediator" involved in emotional aggression, clinical depression, and physical/mental stress (Dr. Ray Peat).

i.e. "less is better".

yantra's avatar

BEWARE methylene blue 'MB', which is an MAO Inhibitor. It is being heavily hyped on the internet recently. One might ask by whom? (and qui bono?)

Dr. Peter Breggin's emergency warning article/podcast:

https://content.blubrry.com/americaoutloudpulse/Emergency_notification_for_methylene_blue_it_s_highly_neurotoxic_to_your_brain_and_mind.mp3

Excerpts from Dr. Breggin's podcast: most of the following are quotes (some paraphrased):

1. the brain doesn't like anything stimulated like this - this is a neurotoxic invasion!

2. MAO (monoamine oxidase) is an enzyme which tries to modulate what is happening in the brain and keep the stimulant neurotransmitters from getting out of control.

3. these include: serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine & dopamine.

4. MB attacks all four of these neurotransmitter systems and hyper-energizes them - an extremely unsafe thing to do.

5. Methylene Blue is more dangerous than the most dangerous anti-depressant drugs approved by the FDA which are the monoamine oxidase inhibitors MAOIs

also here is Dr Andrew Kaufman's warning:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTS1ETLxsUU

Both of these docs are psychiatrists with plenty of experience of psychotropic drugs. Dr Breggin wrote "Talking Back to Prozac" in the 1990s.

Complex issue to say the least. It is my understanding that there are receptor sites on the cell wall, which have specific need for specific nutrients, such as vitamin D in its active hormone form.. when there is chemicals circulating in the body that mimic and compete for the receptor sites that the cell will dysfunction. Also, can it be that methyl folate is deficient and cell division is prevented, and the cell goes into a dormant stage? We also know that the immune system will sense cancer cells, and when the cancer cells are dividing faster than the immune system can eliminate them a substance called E-Cadherin will encapsulate the cancer cells to prevent metastasis. The bio mechanics are complex and I just wonder how these issues play into CDR.

EMF can throw off our molecular clock. When out of alignment with our light environment, processes like apoptosis (programmed cell death) run amuck, leading to the atrophy of motor neurons, as well as a loss of communication to other brain cells called astrocytes:

You’re using AMD’s massive subscriber base for a free promo of your newsletter?

JC's avatar

Try it, you'll like it.

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thanks JC - I appreciate your readership and support here...you can't imagine the flack and criticism I get daily just writing about "tin foil" hat subjects like EMF. It's pretty tiring, and I will soon be migrating to my private newsletter since SS is becoming more bombarded with bots and people who just want to shout you down.

Randy's avatar

I didn’t plan to comment beyond pointing out that this Substack author is hijacking AMD’s newsletter comment section for personal gain, but since you seem to be promoting his writing, JC, I feel the need to respond. TL;DR: I did try it; I didn’t like it.

Since I’ve had moderate to severe hearing loss + tinnitus for 45 years, I decided to read his 2024 article titled, “Why tinnitus is an electrical illness.” In it, I learned that:

1. Light controls our ability to hear. Our hearing becomes more acute in the dark, because our ears are designed to “absorb the full spectrum of Sunlight.” While we can’t see UV light with our eyes, the melanin in our ears absorb UV and convert it into sound. (I don’t know what UV sounds like, because as stated above, I’m hearing impaired.)

2. The sounds we used to hear for hundreds of thousands of years came from Sunlight, because the ridging in our ears “focuses higher energy beams down into our land-based melanin space station.” It seems that a composer discovered in 2012 that the sun has a “hum at a frequency of 137.5 Hz — a sound close to C-sharp below middle C.” (So I guess now we now know what Sunlight “sounds like.”)

3. Our ears contain a substance similar to a piezoelectrical liquid crystal that converts pressure (from sound waves) into electrical voltage. Those crystals use Sunlight (he always capitalizes that word) to “power the battery of mitochondria” that creates a “spark of electricity that potassium in the fluid of our inner ear uses to create UV light.” Melanin then uses this light to fight cancer and inflammation. (Does this mean the ears of Black folks, with more melanin, fight cancer and inflammation better than my ears? He doesn’t say.)

4. Some people can hear microwaves from radar antennas. It sounds like “zip-zip-zip.” Fortunately, wearing a tinfoil hat (yes, literally; a piece of aluminum foil covering the brain’s temporal lobe) can block this “sound.”

5. Deaf people, while not being able to hear in the audible frequency range (20–20,000 Hz), can hear in the ultrasonic frequency range (20,000–225,000 Hz) range, like bats and dolphins.

He then launches into a discussion of why bluetooth devices are bad for your health (the RF frequencies cause us to lose nitric oxide and become dehydrated) and why “grounding” is not necessarily good (utility companies in North America use the Earth as the return/ground path).

What to do: Shutting off the breaker at night to prevent EMF radiation may cause you to absorb 100+ milliGauss while standing next to the breaker box, so within 10 seconds you should “immediately ground” yourself for 2 minutes to drain off the absorbed radiation. This will keep you from experiencing tinnitus upon retiring. (Standing barefoot outside for 2 minutes at night in sub-zero weather in a snowstorm may have its own ill effects, of course.)

Frankly, I’m not a “mainstream medicine” kind of guy. In fact, I was part of the 30% who didn’t trust mainstream medicine BEFORE the COVID debacle. I make my own Zeta Aid and 3000 ppm CDS (the ultra pure and pH neutral version of chlorine dioxide). I drink Zeta Aid, CDS, and DMSO daily and ground myself with conductive sheets on my bed. But even though I’m open to alternative therapies, this guy’s writing sounds to me like you must “leave your brain at the door” to appreciate his insights.

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thanks for trying the writing. Are you disputing the claims I made about EMF and its health hazard? Just curious - why do you say you have to leave your brain at the door?

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Absolutely.

#1 - it's free, not behind a paywall like 1000s of other authors.

#2 - it enriches AMD's article and is a valuable supplement.

yantra's avatar

i agree. and Roman is the only one on substack who explores the health - emf connection so thoroughly and with such scholarly citation; ie. you don't have to "leave your brain at the door". ( :

Thanks for teaching us about cdr. It explains a lot of things, like my old injuries coming back with pain only to heal and return my original strength.

Lymphatic drainage has helped me tons and I'm surprised the medical profession doesn't promote it.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=lT_wW5pNHa4

As for the damage from the shots, it's actually because of the LNPs and other chemicals in the shot. Those are what set off the CDR response as they're toxins. No need for spike protein.

https://robc137.substack.com/p/years-before-mrna-and-spike-protein

And if you look at the pre LNP vaccines, their equivalent were adjuvants like aluminum and squalene, both toxins that set off danger alarms to the body.

Margo's avatar

I do the Big 6! Have you haf any experience with lymphatic massages? I am not sure if it's just throwing money down the drain! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and believe blood circulation & lymphatic are a big part.

Rob (c137)'s avatar

I do it myself or my girlfriend does it for me and me for her. We use lymphatic massage oil but any oil you like can work.

You push smoothly on the skin in the direction of the center of the body to drain it.

When her foot was bothering her, I would first do the big 6 on her and then do the thigh, knee , calves, ankle, foot and then ankle calves knee thigh. The idea is to help move the stagnant fluid to the center so it can drain and get processed.

Very good for you.i have been using a portable infa red tent. Got it years ago and get in Velcro up! I could feel when I needed to get in. Felt so good after I got out. Long due for replacement. They have a telephone like one more comfy, roomy about 1,000$. Of course m. Profession will not advise!!

I have no room for tent, really - and I know me. They say you can break down and set up the tents / sleeping bags, whatever - but I know I wouldn't. I need a sauna ROOM, that I can go into. Failing that, I bought an infrared belt that I can tie to what hurts and ease it a bit (and activate my DMSO) - but I'm a little jealous of people who can get whole body IR!

I have actually had functional medicine docs who recommend IR Sauna. People who sauna have something like 65% fewer cardiac events, and live something like 20% longer....

Sometimes it feels like you are talking about me, and I start to get paranoid. LOL "chronic illnesses and musculoskeletal issues" Thank you for doing what you do even if a lot of it goes over my head.

On another note I remember Judy Mikovits talking about curing autism with suramin. I tried to look that up as best I can. After many attempts to learn and with my limited abilities, I determined suramin was an anti-parasitic, and I believe she basically said since it helped cure children with autism, it was not allowed to be on the market. Sort of like how ivermetin was demonized. After following holisitic doctors for years, I do believe a lot of health problems can get corrected if people used an anti-parasitic medication or took herbs that act as anti-parasitic. I also believe a person can cure their body of parasites though a very strict diet too. I noticed over the last five years some freedom doctors I have watched have learned about the value of using an anti-parasitic protocol for people suffering from chronic conditions.

A Midwestern Doctor's avatar

The basic issue with Suramin is that it's very hard to synthesize, and once Bayer stopped making it, no other company wanted to step in to make and meet the newfound demand. There is a bit of a debate as to why Bayer stopped, as officially it was due to lack of a commercial viability for the traditional use (treating sleeping sickness) and cheaper/better options now existing, but it's also thought that was motivated by cutting off access to a CDR therapy. That said, the CDC did restrict access to the medication after this other use was discovered which was also an issue.

Eric Duncan's avatar

This “other use” meaning autism? With a new look to the CDC now, and some other companies like Kuzani and Kuvatris now making suramin, is there any chance to get this moving again?

bobwnelson's avatar

So that's it!! Can we get Bobby to help with this?

Eric Duncan's avatar

I’m hoping Midwestern Doctor could relay a message?

Randy Chambers's avatar

May I recommend studying methylene blue, the base compound of hydroxychloroquine, one of the famous harmless co-remedies of Covid 19 infection. Actually, before the mRNA "harmful" remedy, the cure was the combination of anti-parasitic Ivermectin, zinc and Azithromycin, the formula used by docs in the Imperial Valley in addition to docs for inmates and staff at the California Department of Corrections. Cure rate was 99%+ for those who were fortunate to be in generally-good-health and had obtained immediate treatment.

Randy Chambers's avatar

I read Judy's autobiography years ago. Indeed, she was obviously blackballed in 2011 by Dr. "Death" Anthony Fauci* and his executive-leader pals of Big Pharma, FDA and CDC. She was one of the first to unintentionally and innocently interrupt the Big Pharma/Big Medicine for-profit conglomerate. Unfortunately, she didn't have the grand-interruption power that President Trump and RFK have.

* Tony Fauci was NIAID Director at the time and co-facilitator of the SARS-CoV-2 gain-of-function, weaponized, and über-infectious virus that we all remember well).

I make suramin/shikamic acid. Here's my recipe: 1/4 cup plant (star anise, fennel or pine needle - star anise strongest, pine needle weakest). Add 1 l water. Boil 20 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup grain alcohol, steep overnight. Decant into jar in fridge, take 1/4-1/2 cup daily.

Put it in my drink bottle when the bugs were flying.

4 million studies you covered in only 4 months besides all your other commitments in life; you are not only a doctor but a SUPERHERO. I am speechless. Thank you could never be enough for all your have done for your readers and patients. God bless you always and in the greatest abundance.

A Midwestern Doctor's avatar

It is unbelievably time consuming, but I also came up with a lot of ways to simplify the process. That said, what I am doing now would be impossible if AI did not exist. However, even with AI, it still takes a long time (AI is much slower if your goal is to ensure a good output).

Mouzer's avatar

Yes. AI must be asked a terse, well constructed, sometimes narrow question. I have fun sometimes (if you can call it that) getting multiple answers to essentially the same question.

JC's avatar

I'm finding myself arguing with ChatGPT in tapering forums now. "But ChatGPT said - " OK then. I'm a peer expert. You can trust the LLM bot, or you can trust me. But it gets tiring when people will only believe it if the AI said it.

Mouzer's avatar

Yes, my nephew says my brother believes AI is gospel, but nephew keeps arguing with him the answer depends on the question. I personally use Lumo, which is private. But I use the internet search option as it is going to get me the digested results of many sites. What I do like (I have the full paid version) is it will compare the different views.

Perhaps the response to ChatGPT is to provide the answer to the exact question put to another AI and then ask ChatGPT to resolve the difference and post both. But in truth, most people believe only what they want to believe. It's comforting, secure, if dangerous at times. What gets to me is how few people bother or even think to look up even the most basic thing, instead asking someone on a forum, then complaining about the information provided.

JC's avatar

To be fair, tapering forums - off psych drugs - are filled with a lot of panic & fear. This is why Surviving Antidepressants was such a valuable site - moderators did a lot of hand holding to help people through the tough stuff.

But the trend to just put that panic on ChatGPT is alarming - and one person commented about "ChatGPT 'feeling'" him out. I'm like - um - ChatGPT does not "feel"....

Mouzer's avatar

Well, that is potentially dangerous. I assume you are aware of Breggin's book, then, given the number of people on the site. If not I hear it's very good.

I was impressed with Jan McLelland's "How to Starve Cancer", 2021, in her work unearthing the use of vegetable supplements to fight her cancer and keep it at bay. Since reading of her experience, I began a daily regimen of green tea extract, tumeric w/peperin, berberine, resveratrol along with my long term regimen of D3, zinc and magnesium as her listing of their effects made sense to me. I avoid sugar, starches and and only get limited carbohydrates through whole foods. I have been surprised that my A1C has decreased. No longer pre-diabetic. Even more surprised in that my energy levels and mental sharpness has increased. I blame the phytochemicals. I could not possibly eat enough food to get the level I get via these supplements.

This piece makes tremendous sense to me from my extensive reading. I have been on thyroid meds for 14yrs and now have been able to reduce them to only 1/3 my prior dose. I am a believer.

Mouzer's avatar

Other than the supplements, it sounds as though you are following essentially the paleo diet. When I followed it, I lost weight without being hungry. Just lean meats, fruits, above ground vegetables, occasional nuts and honey, no beans or dairy.

arrotsevni's avatar

"Paleo like' but has not worked for me. Same weight for last 10yrs. May be the cheese which is supposed to be paleo.

Mouzer's avatar

Might be the cheese. The Paleo Diet book by Loren Cordain is the one I followed. He did the research into paleolithic diets. Since then a lot of others have claimed to be paleo, even allowing grains. According to his research, grains were foods of starvation when nothing else was around. He shows how, as agriculture grew, the statures of people got shorter and they were less healthy. Very interesting. I found it hard to follow because of the restrictions and modern life like eating out and, frankly, I like baked goods. But occasionally I go back when I'm not feeling right. He did allow some olive oil, though it isn't paleo.

Stress, stressors, toxins which you mentioned at the end are far away from the end, and Impo they are only the beginning, we haven’t seen anything yet. Never in human history has man be assaulted with so many stressors.

Apart from vaccines which cause their own specific stresses, in 100 people the same vaccine can cause 100 different disease from mild to deadly, all depends on someone’s susceptibility and vulnerability.

You can add chemical stressors not used 20, 30 or 50 years ago, we now eat a plastic bank card on a monthly basis and Aluminum never been used the same frequency as decades ago. Than dyes, ammonia, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, lead…there was never in history a huge misuse and over abuse of electricity and magnetic radiation.

How to protect oneself and how to reverse these stresses? We must use all that is available even off record.

There’s also emotional stress, negative emotions can undermine your health sometimes more than chemicals and concerning mental health, how many little unnoticed, at first sight unimportant details can disable your mental capacities. Finally there was a popular term in the past not used any longer, ontological insecurity meaning one cannot come in terms with life amongst others and with life in general, result is disastrous your deepest layer of consciousness bosoms a chronic anxiety, as life becomes a stranger, an enemy you have to fight against to yourself and others. Stressors are causes of diseases and nearly all means to relax and accept life as a gift, a blessing have been censured or robbed of their life giving value.

When facing a shock, something patterns the cells toward CDR in some people while others are resilient to the same shock. I propose that mind-sets like fear, shame and nihilism fill the nervous system with a need to pull back. This influences every cell and mitochondria creating high CDR reactivity to shocks. People who are filled with optimism, hope, and faith are much more resilient. This could explain part of the spontaneous healings that can go on at religious revivals. As an example, filling a person with hope (not easy to do) can replace the negative mindsets and cause a sudden erasure of mitochondrial shutdown or spontaneous remission.

As an example, my father used to tell us how amazed he was that, when he was sick, he would go to his doctor who would write him a prescription then say something simple like “that should take care of it.” Often he would feel better by the time he got to the pharmacy and not need to take any pills at all. He viewed this as a puzzling phenomenon making for an entertaining story.

Hey Richard Henry

The value of exercise and getting out in the sun and nature is a proponent that many here are missing. If you have hobbies and like to do things you enjoy and just going out for a ride and then actually getting out to walk in the park or at an outdoor show and just learn to relax and enjoy yourself is what part of feeling alive is all about. I feel blessed to have so much energy and plenty of power left in my 66 year old body, but have worked at it my whole life. It's obvious that staying away from negativity and bad vibrational people is optimal , but not always possible, the key is not letting it 'rub off' on you. For people that are not that mobile, keep working at it, and you will be amazed at what you can do if you really want to improve. For me, the value of this life lies in working on myself to continue to strive to be a better man in all aspects of my being. My sincere wish is for everyone to heal and get better

My father went out for a walk around the neighborhood in the sun (when available) every day until the day before he died at 96. He also ate fresh fruit with breakfast and salads with lunch and dinner every day. He didn't believe in "working on himself". He thought his kids were health nuts. He might make the argument that the modern obsession with health with 10,000 competing health, exercise, and diet "trends" is a big part of the cause of mental overload and CDR.

Working on yourself means many things ,but it all about learning and curiosity about life and the many things to upgrade in your pursuit of your interests and how you could always be better -----We all have much to learn and upgrade in our knowledge-----Best to you

While my father might have nit-picked about younger generations, I agree with you except.... (we must find minor points of disagreement to stimulate growth)....I would argue that cultivating consciousness is more important than collecting knowledge. Unlocking the CDR opens us to the wisdom and attunement of the DNA. Focusing our self improvements on what the "experts" tell us, gets us stuck in our heads, which pulls us away from our gut feelings, our intuitive knowing, and our spontaneous inspirations. There is also overcoming separateness toward union with the divine, cultivating our relationships with all things, and cultivating the power to transform our lives. We strengthen this transformative power to become more by making. choices and following through.

Have you considered a post on oxalates? My husband has struggled for years with what we thought was post-lyme or post-covid/vax injury, or active lyme. But it has turned out to be oxalates. The change has been astonishing since he reduced oxalates in his diet.

Thank you, bless you and all that you have done and are doing for fixing us. Too bad you cannot fix our general practitioners. When I spoke to my specialist, she didn't even know what DMSO was. I pleaded with her to dilute and inject into my steroid injections for FM, chronic pain, arthritis, bursitis,neck pain etc, she said NO. Praise God for your writings.

What turns off cells? Mostly it is toxic drugs, vaccines and supplements as well as foods and environmental toxins to some extent. Illness and disease is caused by toxicity and poisons. Rid yourself of those before they damage your organs beyond repair.

The body is naturally healthy until it becomes besieged and overwhelmed by toxic crap. Germs and viruses were invented to make you fear death and engage in the toxic medical mafia. All medicines are anything but as they contain various amounts of poison man made chemicals...none natural to our existence.

Turning off bodily systems (endocrine, others) are what most pharma drugs do. The point is to debilitate people. Been watching it for 50 years. It's why I don't do pharma drugs, but do only plant remedies. And I am healthy.
