MWD - While we are on the general subject, at one point you suggested a tablespoon of chia seed a day for its structured water benefits. I started mixing it in my breakfast yogurt and berries. Since then I have found that toilet paper stays largely or completely clean.
My theory is that the chia gel somehow supplements the normal mucus coating of the lower bowel and therefore the stool. The smooth coating leads to easy, clean transit.
Were I inclined to wilder theorizing, I'd posit that a healthy mucus coating likely keeps bowel contents from destructive contact with the large bowel, forestalling cancers.
Unfortunately for me, they had the opposite effect. I was using chia seeds (gel) to hopefully improve my zeta potential and they sent me right back to where I didn't want to be.
I eat a salad (romaine, kale, red cabbage, grated carrot, celery, cucumber and tomato) every single day for lunch. I add egg, or avocado or a meat protein as well. I’m regular as a clock, never constipated. The only exception is if I’m traveling and am not able to have my daily roughage. This is how I know that daily fiber hit is working, because when I don’t have it, I’m not as regular. I’m convinced exercise, water intake and adequate roughage are key.
Agreed and same here Judy. Also, for everyone here: less carbs, and more water, exercise and magnesium. You'll be as regular as the corruption in Congress.
actually travel itself can cause constipation, which is well known in ayurvedic medicine. Travel, especially air travel, is "vatagenic", meaning it increases the dry, rough qualities of "vata" (the air & ether (empty space) component of physicality), and these qualities affect the colon particularly.
20 years of serious constipation. Pain, tears, blood, awful roids, and practically every OTC remedy ever created, all of which only offered "some" relief. I finally and unintentionally found real relief when I started making my own yogurt with tons of healthy bacteria in it. I'm not always in the mood to eat a huge bowl of yogurt and have found that taking a double dose of *quality* probiotics does the same thing. (Garden of Life, for example). I find no use in taking the standard dose; I'd been doing that for years with my vitamins. Doubling up was key and everything has been wonderful in this regard for about a year now. If I miss a dose, I definitely know it! YMMV.
kefir is an easily drinkable alternative if you don't feel like yogurt at times- and it has even more (and more varied species) lactic bacteria than most yogurts. funny but yogurt actually constipates me; kefir tends to do the opposite.
This article mixes Truth AND LIES. Don’t listen to it
For example, Egg yolks (don’t over cook) cure many ailments and help injuries heal. Egg yolks break down spike protein in vaxes — the ones that people refer to as “clots” yet they are calamari like strings. Like elastic bands — hard to break down.
Eat organic only.

Get out into the SUN !!! God’s healing is better than man’s
The Rockefeller Pharma industry is evil seeking money based. I’m sorry but chemo, taking out tumors — radiation is NOT. Healing.
Look in my free Substack. Anyone who tries to charge money or take credit for info is not godly.
If possible, read “Healing with DMSO”
And “Americas Soul Under Siege: the implosion of the middle class”
Both are easy reads PACKED with wisdom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God Bless All Reading this. We are in charge of the Obedience; God is in Charge of the outcome. Live a sanctified life, obedient, trusting Him. Relying on Him. It doesn’t mean you’ll be sinless …
Truth: The more godly you will become , the stronger that desire — the more the enemy will try to harm you. Don’t. Give up.
Attack. That’s why you need to build up a wall of defense. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Do you believe that localized tumors should not be surgically excised? Just for my edification. I am aware of the pro/con over a biopsy, but curative excision and even debulking have been shown to have survival benefits. (P.S. have done a hard 180 on traditional medicine, so if you have supporting evidence, I’d love to see it.)
A tumor is an indication you are doing something to create it...like feeding it. Removal does not eliminate the problem...it will only reoccur, if you don't find the food, which caused its growth and eliminate it. I got rid of tumors twice, back in 1976 and 1988 by discovering the foods, which 'fueled' them. Nothing grows without fuel. They never reoccured. Then, there are tumors caused by radiation from cells phones held close to the ear. I don't use a cell phone, because of the radiation.
Everyone has cancerous cells (body isolates them via a tumor) that only become a problem when the body is out of balance. Cancer loves sugar and it’s been added to most everything but simple, basic veggies, fruits, etc.
i reversed tumors twice by eliminating the foods that caused their growth...and learned that nothing grows without a fuel. The first time it was excess protein/fat in dairy and the second time it was the excess carbs in honey...I was drinking lots of herb tea daily with honey in every cup. They disappeared , when I stopped eating these foods. The first time two doctors told me that they would give me no gurantees in 1976, if i didn't have a rapidly growing tumor removed. I opted for prayer and a book came into my hand on raw fruit and vegetables...I felt it was the answer...and it worked. I still eat as much raw fruit and vegetables daily as possible. I try to do as little cooking as possible and eat no processed food.
With the new research— and experiencing the Loss of several friends and relatives whereby the tumor removal/ chemo/ radiation did NOT work — Yes. I do not think a tumor should NEVER be tampered with. Don’t remove it — don’t let your dr stick a needle in it. That will only cause the cancer to spread. Those cancer cells are microscopic ..
Treat it with anti-parasitic medicine and eat an alkaline diet. No sugar. No alcoholic beverages. ‼️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eat alkaline foods and avoid “acidic”. Avoid alcohol and get anti parasitic meds. Mebendazole .. ivermectin. Most tumors are parasitic or at least from parasites. There are differing opinions. Kill the parasites and kill the environment that they thrive in 🙏🏻❤️
Just wanna add 1 data point: When taking ivermectin I had the smoothest easiest stools of my entire life. I have no idea why it happens but I've done 1-week of ivermectin a few times and every time just smooth and barely any wipe necessary. My friends who took it also report the exact same thing, one of which usually has chronic constipation.
I may have accidentally made an eye story for you. My husband's eyesight had been deteriorating steadily and quickly. He is 43 and was up to bifocals. I had just started him on selenium (600 mg of the Youngevity brand daily). He had an ingrown toenail, so I was putting DMSO on it three times daily. In two weeks, his eyes healed so much that he no longer has to use glasses except to look at things very close up (he's farsighted). Could that much DMSO have impacted his eyes/interacted with the selenium?
Any quick hints? Like, how much per day... working up gradually I assume... I have been taking 4-5 drops of the pure with my CDS... so far no noticeable body odor... but is topical the better way to go?
What do you think about Psyllium husk or cellulose fiber?
I've been taking before just about every meal... worked well, until I had laser prostate surgery (BPH) which messed me up... I read this is common and should improve...
I have been drinking a spoon of DMSO with a cup of fruit juices each day with my supplements and am pretty regular eating one meal a day. Also put a 20% solution in my eyes each day and generally feel like the DMSO increases my ability to deal with this insane world,
Have had 3 hip surgeries (3 falls/ broken each time) in the last 2 years and DMSO helps healing, pain and attitude)
It seems that it is and will take sometime before I can give a definitive answer. I was using a 20% mixture with Vitamin C and then started just a 20% solution. It burns at first and then quickly goes away.
Bought some books on DMSO and gave them to my local feed store for people to read. Have turned many people onto it wit really + results!
Thanks for your emails! They make a big difference!
No. I started out with a product for eyes from Canada, when that ran out and the tariffs came in I just went to a straight 20% solution. Do not know about Redmounds? Take MBlue daily.
Here in NM the medical system has collapsed (as elsewhere) so we have to take care of ourselves and those who will listen. I use traditional herbs with DMSO which is a whole field for exploration. We have local Curenderos as well.
Frances, thanks for your interest! Go to - DMSO.store on the Web and see all the produces they offer. They offer lots of products and are really good to work with.
Thanks for that info! Have had a bottle for years and seldom use it because I felt it was good for infections (which I seldom get). I will give it a shot and see if I respond to it. I take MB in caps because stains really badly if spilled a DMSO removes it really well.
I had a retinal bleed in my R eye in 2022, I used manuka honey eye drops and lowered my BP . It went away after a couple of months. I had a smaller eye bleed in the L eye in 2023, same tx same result. About 6 weeks ago I had a large grey out of my R eye and immediately used 25% DMSO gel (Jacobs Lab) and a little aloe on my eyelid which completely cleared it in less than 5 minuets. (I was racking up a lot of screen time.) About 6 days later a smaller grey out in the R eye and again I immediately used 25% gel on my closed eyelid. No issues since then. Thanks you for the amazing info you have provided for DMSO! I pretty much have had so much success with various issues using DMSO topically and I am so appreciative for your extensive information!
The first bleed I saw a retinal specialist. He gave me a contrast dye which I reacted to , and he was pretty unconcerned. He told me my 2 treatment options were injections into the white portion of my eye, or laser surgery. My 2nd appt. with him he ignored that it was improved and the 3rd and last appt told me it was resolved. He told me how lucky I was I didn't need either procedure! (I would not have had either.) The second eye bleed, I saw a different retinal specialist. He did the basic scan and told me to keep my BP low. The last one, I immediately thought of DMSO which I have been using for a variety of issues and it worked like a charm. ( My BP is low). I don't have much trust in MD's and I worked in hospitals for more than 30 years. I also regrettably sold for a very large big Pharma co. for 10 years. I have researched natural med and therapy for about 15 years and believe myself to be more safe following my own experiences and research. I have had excellent outcomes.
I have come to despise most doctors... though my new PCP is a good guy.
I will make some DMSO eye drops, probably 33% or a bit higher... I used them before, no issues, but they didn't solve my floaters... maybe I didn't stick with it, or maybe I need a stronger DMSO mix?
I use a daily drop of 50% DMSO in my eyes. I’m 64, and my sight is extremely sharp. I still have to use reading glasses but it hasn’t even been a year. That could be around the corner, who knows? My daughter is an ophthalmologist, allopathically trained, and she’d not appreciate me doing this. What she doesn’t know won’t hurt me. 😂
My sister has been using DMSO for floaters for like a month and she has almost nothing now. In the beggining she did it every 2 days bc it gave her some kind of little burning at first but now she does it every day. She mixed 10 drops of castor oil with 1 drop of DMSO when she started, now she added one more of DMSO. But she was using it also for a tooth for almost two weeks, pure of course and few drops each time, that may have help too with the floaters, I think.
That is a good point! A friend had to quit because of the odor and I have none - anyone have any insights? If we lived in France it would no problem but we are so offended by that which does fit into they way things should be! Thanks.
I know. It freaks me out to think I may be offensive to someone. I would really like to continue drinking it. Topical application doesn’t seem to be a problem.
I had read something like this before... I think (and hope) it is correct:
From AI:
Oral and injectable routes are also highly effective for systemic absorption, but oral DMSO is less commonly used because it has some potential for gastrointestinal irritation and often causes a strong garlic-like taste and odor. Regardless of the route, DMSO is rapidly distributed throughout the body and can readily cross biological membranes. Therefore, both topical and internal (oral or injectable) use result in effective absorption, but topical application is particularly notable for its ability to bypass the digestive system and rapidly reach systemic circulation through the skin.
Constipation is completely solvable by hydration with plasma. The body only creates hard stools (i.e., it recovers the moisture from its waste) when it is conserving blood plasma because it is simply dehydrated, lacking healthy plasma. If the body has an abundance of healthy plasma, constipation will never (except for physical blockages) occur. Plasma can of course be a saline IV, but much easier just to drink it. Why see a doctor if you can simply add salts (i.e., a diverse supply of salt minerals, like sea salt) to a glass of water at home?
Slippery Elm bark in powdered form is an adaptogenic herb, very soothing and nourishing to the gut. Whether you are constipated or experiencing diarrhea it helps. Kefir and fermented foods are also helpful in colonizing gut bacteria…extremely important!
i am surprised not to see anyone ( including MW doctor) not mention BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES .
i take an enzyme ( which contains betaine hcl ) before my meal...... and then BSM in hot water with the meal . Nothing i tried before ever worked . Being 70 years old, BSM has been like finding gold . I take 1 tbsp in morning .... and usually one after my second meal (both in hot water like a tea )
Thanks for another great article. The few times I felt constipated was due to traveling. Traveling will mess up my system due to prolonged sitting. I walk daily and try to get steps in between flights, but never enough to help. Fortunately for me, my morning coffee, along with a teaspoon of clear fiber, is what gets my system working. However, I’ve had two medications that caused severe constipation in the past and told the doctor no way would I continue to take. So pharmaceuticals are a definite cause for many with constipation, I’m sure.
I supplement with magnesium. Once I heard that taking magnesium would help with my night time leg cramps, I started right away with supplements. The bonus was that I was no longer constipated.
I’m not a doctor. Just saying what works for me. I take a combination magnesium supplement with DiMagnesium Malate, Magnesium Citrate USP, Albion Minerals Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate Chelate. That’s from the label.
I have recommended it to family and friends and they attest to its effectiveness. 😊
I have always been perplexed at the number of people who have things like a cola with meals. I have always just had good old water every meal (with the exception of hot tea in the morning). I drink water all through the day and evening. I also eat things like green beans and other green vegetables, fiber-rich fruit, etc. Nature has provided so many wonderful things to keep us all going strong.
Drinking with meals affects digestion and dilutes the acids needed. I’ve seen that as a problem. Like doing 8 ounces of water with meals is not helpful.
Is in longer article. The issue with any laxative, even natural ones is that they only work for certain people and do not fix the root causes of constipation.
Yes this worries me. I recently discovered “triphala,” which effectively triggers peristalsis, but I’m also worried that it could become “addictive“ so best to limit to once a month maybe.
I take triphala occasionally as well. 2 capsules, once or twice a week. Not every day. Another good herbal is "Smooth Cleanse" from Barlow Herbal:
Smooth Cleanse is a gentle herbal formula designed to support your digestive health. Crafted with a premium blend of natural herbs, this formula can be part of your colon wellness routine. Please use as directed, and do not exceed 14 consecutive days of use. Each bottle provides enough for two cleanses.
Contains: Cascara Sagrada Bark, Slippery Elm Bark, Senna Leaf, Cape Aloe Leaf, Milk Thistle Seed, Apple Pectin, Turkey Rhubarb Root, Fennel Seed, Licorice Root, Cayenne Pepper Fruit, Chickweed Herb and Love.
Thanks. I’ll try that. I was taking it throughout the day. I take around 400 mg of magnesium glycinate a day in 3 capsules. Should I take them all with the water in the evening? Is that enough?
Don’t take multiple during the day. Best to take 200 mg with a lot of water half an hour before dinner, say 5 PM, and then another 200 mg well after dinner and just before going to sleep – – but always with at least 8 ounces of water. Sometimes it will take two days to work, but then your system has been woken up for a while. My general approach to any supplements is to vary what you take in a given day or week. Don’t throw a bunch of pills “down the hatch“.
MWD - While we are on the general subject, at one point you suggested a tablespoon of chia seed a day for its structured water benefits. I started mixing it in my breakfast yogurt and berries. Since then I have found that toilet paper stays largely or completely clean.
My theory is that the chia gel somehow supplements the normal mucus coating of the lower bowel and therefore the stool. The smooth coating leads to easy, clean transit.
Were I inclined to wilder theorizing, I'd posit that a healthy mucus coating likely keeps bowel contents from destructive contact with the large bowel, forestalling cancers.
Unfortunately for me, they had the opposite effect. I was using chia seeds (gel) to hopefully improve my zeta potential and they sent me right back to where I didn't want to be.
One word....kimchi! 😁
How much of it do you take and how often?
I get amazing locally made organic two months fermentation and I consume a 450 gm jar every week along side my daily steak, sweet potato and avocado 😋
So that's about 1/4 cup a day in one sitting. Seems like lot. I've heard people say 1 or 2 tablespoons a day.
Those people are lightweights! 😂
It's good stuff. Spicy
You can also buy supplements on Amazon or your local health store.
I COMPLETELY AGREE! I make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir and kombucha. I have a little of each every day. Works like a charm.
I eat a salad (romaine, kale, red cabbage, grated carrot, celery, cucumber and tomato) every single day for lunch. I add egg, or avocado or a meat protein as well. I’m regular as a clock, never constipated. The only exception is if I’m traveling and am not able to have my daily roughage. This is how I know that daily fiber hit is working, because when I don’t have it, I’m not as regular. I’m convinced exercise, water intake and adequate roughage are key.
Agreed and same here Judy. Also, for everyone here: less carbs, and more water, exercise and magnesium. You'll be as regular as the corruption in Congress.
😂 🤣
I only eat twice a day so the salad is for brunch. I love it and if I miss the salad then I know I will miss the movement too. That simple.
Same here. 2 meals a day.
actually travel itself can cause constipation, which is well known in ayurvedic medicine. Travel, especially air travel, is "vatagenic", meaning it increases the dry, rough qualities of "vata" (the air & ether (empty space) component of physicality), and these qualities affect the colon particularly.
agree!
The best "Mother Nature Way". Agree 100%

Yes.
Where does one obtain untainted DMSO?
I buy mine from dmsostore.com
I need to re-read your DMSO stuff...
Any quick hints? Like, how much per day... working up gradually I assume... I have been taking 4-5 drops of the pure with my CDS... so far no noticeable body odor... but is topical the better way to go?
Where do you buy the DMSO?
I bought mine off Amazon. Just make sure to get the pharmaceutical grade and read the comments.
Senna tea at bedtime works well. Dehydration, lack of fiber and poor microbiome in my view are the major issues to address.
I found Senna tea worked for about 3 months and then stopped. Like most bandaids, it has a life span
Using it chronically is not the answer.
What do you think about Psyllium husk or cellulose fiber?
I've been taking before just about every meal... worked well, until I had laser prostate surgery (BPH) which messed me up... I read this is common and should improve...
I was told by an expert that psyllium seed creates a lot of gas, which is a negative rather than a positive.
I have been having some longer term bloating issues... could be it...
How about cellulose fiber? Ray Peat (RIP) and G. Dinkov like it...
The key is to have a healthy micobiome … destroyed by chemicals such as as sucralose and antibiotics as two potential sources of the problem .
I have been drinking a spoon of DMSO with a cup of fruit juices each day with my supplements and am pretty regular eating one meal a day. Also put a 20% solution in my eyes each day and generally feel like the DMSO increases my ability to deal with this insane world,

I add a little DMSO to my Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS)... I take for a few days every month, cycle it with Methylene blue and colloidal silver...

No. I started out with a product for eyes from Canada, when that ran out and the tariffs came in I just went to a straight 20% solution. Do not know about Redmounds? Take MBlue daily.

LOL!! I have heard from friends that the French seem to be proud of their gorilla BO...
But I suppose it IS sort of natural.
Italy as well, I personally noticed when visiting but each to their own. 😉
Constipation is completely solvable by hydration with plasma. The body only creates hard stools (i.e., it recovers the moisture from its waste) when it is conserving blood plasma because it is simply dehydrated, lacking healthy plasma. If the body has an abundance of healthy plasma, constipation will never (except for physical blockages) occur. Plasma can of course be a saline IV, but much easier just to drink it. Why see a doctor if you can simply add salts (i.e., a diverse supply of salt minerals, like sea salt) to a glass of water at home?
Slippery Elm bark in powdered form is an adaptogenic herb, very soothing and nourishing to the gut. Whether you are constipated or experiencing diarrhea it helps. Kefir and fermented foods are also helpful in colonizing gut bacteria…extremely important!
May I inquire where you get the slippery elm bark in powdered form?
i am surprised not to see anyone ( including MW doctor) not mention BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES .
i take an enzyme ( which contains betaine hcl ) before my meal...... and then BSM in hot water with the meal . Nothing i tried before ever worked . Being 70 years old, BSM has been like finding gold . I take 1 tbsp in morning .... and usually one after my second meal (both in hot water like a tea )
Thanks for another great article. The few times I felt constipated was due to traveling. Traveling will mess up my system due to prolonged sitting. I walk daily and try to get steps in between flights, but never enough to help. Fortunately for me, my morning coffee, along with a teaspoon of clear fiber, is what gets my system working. However, I’ve had two medications that caused severe constipation in the past and told the doctor no way would I continue to take. So pharmaceuticals are a definite cause for many with constipation, I’m sure.
I supplement with magnesium. Once I heard that taking magnesium would help with my night time leg cramps, I started right away with supplements. The bonus was that I was no longer constipated.
So start taking magnesium! Works for me!
Which kind of magnesium? Or several kinds in separate or in one pill?
I’m not a doctor. Just saying what works for me. I take a combination magnesium supplement with DiMagnesium Malate, Magnesium Citrate USP, Albion Minerals Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate Chelate. That’s from the label.
I have recommended it to family and friends and they attest to its effectiveness. 😊
I take magnesium glycinate and the brand is NOW and I also have Dr Berg’s brand.
I mix several powders with several forms of magnesium. It is easier to fine tune quantities with the powders instead of capsules.
magnesium citrate or oxide cause diarrhea or very loose stools & or microbiome upset.
Magnesium oxide us not well absorbed.
I have always been perplexed at the number of people who have things like a cola with meals. I have always just had good old water every meal (with the exception of hot tea in the morning). I drink water all through the day and evening. I also eat things like green beans and other green vegetables, fiber-rich fruit, etc. Nature has provided so many wonderful things to keep us all going strong.
Drinking with meals affects digestion and dilutes the acids needed. I’ve seen that as a problem. Like doing 8 ounces of water with meals is not helpful.
I’ve read that as well.
I don't recall mention HOW much water I drink, but okay.
What happened to magnesium glycinate as a huge huge help??!?!
Is in longer article. The issue with any laxative, even natural ones is that they only work for certain people and do not fix the root causes of constipation.
Yes this worries me. I recently discovered “triphala,” which effectively triggers peristalsis, but I’m also worried that it could become “addictive“ so best to limit to once a month maybe.
I take triphala occasionally as well. 2 capsules, once or twice a week. Not every day. Another good herbal is "Smooth Cleanse" from Barlow Herbal:
Smooth Cleanse is a gentle herbal formula designed to support your digestive health. Crafted with a premium blend of natural herbs, this formula can be part of your colon wellness routine. Please use as directed, and do not exceed 14 consecutive days of use. Each bottle provides enough for two cleanses.
Contains: Cascara Sagrada Bark, Slippery Elm Bark, Senna Leaf, Cape Aloe Leaf, Milk Thistle Seed, Apple Pectin, Turkey Rhubarb Root, Fennel Seed, Licorice Root, Cayenne Pepper Fruit, Chickweed Herb and Love.
Cascara isn’t helpful either and why take such increasing amounts to keep it working.
Doesn’t do anything for me.
You have to take enough Mg on an empty stomach with about 10 ounces of water. Around 5 or 6 pm
Thanks. I’ll try that. I was taking it throughout the day. I take around 400 mg of magnesium glycinate a day in 3 capsules. Should I take them all with the water in the evening? Is that enough?
Don’t take multiple during the day. Best to take 200 mg with a lot of water half an hour before dinner, say 5 PM, and then another 200 mg well after dinner and just before going to sleep – – but always with at least 8 ounces of water. Sometimes it will take two days to work, but then your system has been woken up for a while. My general approach to any supplements is to vary what you take in a given day or week. Don’t throw a bunch of pills “down the hatch“.
I hope this helps!
Thank you. It helps. So little useful information is given with most supplements and always requires extra research.
