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

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

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

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

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

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