DMSO for Shingles – Plus Full Protocol – What Shingles Is and Is Not
DMSO for Shingles – Plus Full Protocol – What Shingles Is and Is Not
DMSO for Shingles: Video Overview
In this DMSO for shingles discussion, Amandha Vollmer (ADV) begins with the case itself. Rather than looking only at the rash, she asks why the symptoms appeared in a particular dermatome and what was happening in that tissue beforehand. A client example involving an earlier head injury, seizure history and later postherpetic neuralgia becomes the starting point for showing how ADV gathers chronology and local tissue history before deciding how she understands the case.
From there, ADV explains her terrain-based interpretation of shingles and challenges conventional viral causation. She connects her reasoning with somatids, nerve damage, lymphatic and liver function, nutritional status, previous exposures, and her views on chickenpox and shingles vaccines. Postherpetic neuralgia remains an important part of the teaching as she considers what may have happened in the affected tissue before the shingles appeared.
Once that framework is established, ADV moves into the practical protocol. She explains how she works with DMSO and colloidal silver, then develops the discussion through nutritional, homeopathic, botanical and topical support for the nerves, skin and broader terrain. The purpose is not simply to collect remedies, but to understand how she assesses the case and why each part of her protocol is being used.

Introduction: DMSO for Shingles and the Purpose of the Protocol
Amandha: Hey everyone, Dr. Yummy here. I want to have a little talk with you today about shingles. I have a new webcam, so let me know how it is, if this sounds good and so forth. Hopefully it’s working fine. I actually have a feeling I’ve done a video on shingles before, but anyway, I can’t find it.
Amandha: I’ve had a lot of shingles cases lately, so I just want to touch on it. I want to talk about how to use DMSO for shingles. I want to talk about what shingles is and is not, primarily what it is not. We’ll touch on the vaccines that are typically given for shingles, and we’ll talk a little bit about chickenpox because it’s relatable.
Amandha: Then I want to give you a holistic protocol. I want you to walk away with what you can do and feel empowered. So if this affects you or affects a loved one, you know how to handle it. It’s interesting because, as I was thinking about this topic again today, I went back in time.
Amandha: I think I was still in naturopathic college. I hadn’t graduated yet; I think I was either in first or second year. I remember a friend of mine whose dad had really bad shingles. Anyway, he was desperate because the usual story, of course, that I’ve heard a thousand times is, ‘I went to the doctor. They didn’t help me.’
Amandha: ‘They have nothing for me,’ or, ‘The drugs they’re giving me are making it worse. I’m just not getting relief. I’m suffering.’ It’s the same story every time. In my view, the medical establishment doesn’t know how to treat it; they don’t even know what it is, for one. So that’s part of it.
Amandha: Plus, I believe they’re poisoning people, so they’re causing a lot of it. And two – three, rather – they don’t seem to understand basic biochemistry, how the body actually functions, stuff like that. Stuff you should probably know as a doctor. So I went over and actually made a house call.
Amandha: It was like my first-ever house call, and I did acupuncture on him. There are really good acupuncture protocols for shingles. I gave him a couple of homeopathics and brought him some supplements. I basically helped him through it.
Amandha: I didn’t have a lot of topicals at the time. I can’t remember what I suggested topically now; it was so long ago. Probably colloidal silver, as I’ll tell you about today, because I consider that very important. Then I think the next case after that was another friend, someone I was working with, and she had it really bad in multiple places on the body.
Amandha: I pulled together a holistic protocol for her, and that really helped, but it still took some time. This was before I knew about DMSO, of course, so it took some time for her to heal. What you really want, in my view, is to heal it completely. You want to ensure that the nerve is completely repaired; otherwise you’re going to get postherpetic neuralgia, which is lingering pain from the damaged nerve.
Amandha: Anyway, that was sort of my second real exposure to it and my next level of understanding, including looking into the research. I think that was probably after I graduated. I don’t recall having any shingles cases in clinic while I was in school, so at that point my experience was limited to only a couple of people.
Amandha: Then I saw a few later on in clinic after I graduated. Since I’ve been doing this business for the last seven years, there have been quite a lot. I’ll give you a link to a protocol I put on my website. I have some broken links on it that I have to fix because I wrote it quite a long time ago.
What Shingles Is and Is Not: ADV's Terrain Perspective
Amandha: But it’s a good guide to help you navigate the specific supplements that I use for this condition. It talks about DMSO and gives a little preamble about what shingles is and isn’t. I want to take you through the physiological understanding I use.
Amandha: Once you sort of get that, then it’s way easier to treat within this framework. There’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation about viruses and viruses as causation. I’ve done quite a few videos on this topic already, so I’m not going to go through that at length. I am going to say that just because you see an effect in an area does not necessarily tell you the cause.
Amandha: So say you walk in and you see somebody, you see a person laying on the ground with a bullet wound in them, and you see someone standing above them with the gun in their hand. Well, that’s okay. Your first thought might be that they’ve, that the person who’s holding the gun has shot the gun and killed the individual.
Amandha: But unless you actually had pure evidence of that fact, they could have just walked in and you missed that, picked up the gun, and that’s when you walked in. Right. And the same understanding is important with our health because the effects and the causes can often get mistaken for one another. Just because you have specific particles found at a location, does not ergo mean that they are the cause of the problem.
Amandha: They could be the result of the problem. That’s what we’re seeing with this misunderstanding of viruses, in my view: what’s present at the scene of the crime from damaged tissue, and how we’re addressing the cleanup and repair of the tissue. If you find particles at an area that are protein packets with DNA inclusions and you’re trying to come up with a theory, the lazy theory would be, ‘Oh, it must be that.’
Amandha: ‘There are so many there, so it must have caused it.’ However, in the model I’m presenting, these somatids – not viruses – at the area are helpers. They come into damaged tissue to try to repair the nerve. In this case, it’s nerve tissue. That’s why they’re there. In my view, they’re innocent; they didn’t cause it.
Amandha: So this is the first thing I want you to understand in the framework I’m presenting: I do not view shingles as being caused by a virus. What I’ve seen from my experience, asking deep questions of people who’ve had shingles for well over a decade, is that when I come in with a different hypothesis, I don’t assume there’s just a random virus running around causing trouble.
Amandha: Then I have to ask, ‘Well, was there damage? Was there damage done to that part of your body?’ Now, let’s go with the virus theory for a second.
Amandha: Say it’s a virus. Why would it go in the dermatome on the head? Why would it go in the dermatome that affects the arm, across the chest, or in the back? Why wouldn’t it be all over the entire body?
Amandha: Why would it only be in some areas and not other areas? If it’s a virus, why, when someone walks into my office or store with shingles, don’t I get shingles from them? And if I did, where would I get it? Would I get it in the same spot they did? We have to think here.
Amandha: I actually had a client in today, and that is what sparked this. You know how I go: God says, ‘Do a video,’ and I say, ‘Okay, fine.’ I often get triggered into it through cases that come my way, then the information comes forward and I want to share it. That’s what I see as my path and purpose.
Case Discussion: Prior Injury, Nerve Damage, and Postherpetic Neuralgia
Amandha: She came in and had shingles primarily on the left side of her head. Very painful. If I recall, I think she came to me when that was happening and I gave her a bunch of things, but she didn’t do anything. The problem is, if people don’t follow through, you’re not going to get results.
Amandha: Now she’s paying for it because she has postherpetic neuralgia and needs some help. She’s still in a lot of pain and has other health issues we’re trying to address. Really, it comes down to self-love and self-care. No one else can do that part for you.
Amandha: We talked a little bit about codependency and how North America has become more isolated. We’ve become expected to do everything ourselves. There’s not really solid community anymore, and people don’t help each other in the same ways. I said it’s a sad truth that we have to admit.
Amandha: We have to pick ourselves up because no one else is going to do it for us. That’s part of the journey for whatever reason, so we’re going to accept that for now. You have to find some part of your self-worth that tells you it’s important to care for yourself. Suffering isn’t always enough of an instigator to get the job done.
Amandha: To some degree it is, but sometimes people almost become attached to their own suffering. That’s an issue in healthcare: helping people love themselves enough to feel that they deserve not to suffer anymore. There’s always a psychological aspect involved with healing, and we talked a bit about that.
Amandha: I said, ‘Look, I want to know a little backstory. Why here? Why didn’t you get shingles on this side? Why didn’t it go somewhere else in the body? Why in this particular area?’ When you ask questions, the first thing people will often say is, ‘I don’t know,’ but that opens the door.
Amandha: You know what? Isn’t that amazing? Think about that. Admitting that you know nothing is the door to opening your mind into knowledge. I say every day, ‘I don’t know anything. I know nothing. I don’t want to know anything. I’m not the knower. I’m the gatherer.’
Amandha: Knowledge should just fill you up like a cup of water. It should fill you and flow through you, like movement, rather than you hoarding some sort of knowledge. That’s how you get congested. I don’t just mean mucus; I mean chi-wise, energy-wise. That’s how you get blocked.
Amandha: So we got talking. I said, ‘You’re going to need some B12, and I have a product I make with colloidal silver and dimethyl sulfoxide that I suggest you use.’ In her case, I suggested colloidal silver and also my DMSO with added nutrients product because I thought she needed a little higher DMSO concentration for the postherpetic neuralgia.
Amandha: Shingles is nerve pain we’re talking about. Nerve pain is some of the most intense pain you can get. Bone-breaking pain is pretty bad too, and nerves are involved there as well. As I’m going through some of the protocol I’m requesting of her, she says, ‘Oh, you know, the other thing I should tell you is I suffer from seizures.’
Amandha: I said, ‘Okay, what happened there? Why do you have a seizure disorder?’ She said, ‘I had a closed head injury many years ago, like 20 years ago, and it led to seizures.’ I said, ‘Where did you hit your head?’
Amandha: Lo and behold, she hit her head right here. I said, ‘Do you hear yourself?’ She said, ‘Oh, interesting.’ So the area where you had the closed head injury 20 years ago is also involved in the seizure history. I told her that, in my interpretation, there had been tissue rupture and scar tissue there, with pulling on the dura and fascial sheath, and I connected that with her seizures.
Amandha: I gave her a homeopathic remedy I referred to as THS, which I use in relation to scar tissue. Yes, a homeopathic remedy for scar tissue. I know there are MDs in newspapers telling us homeopathics are quackery. For those of us who’ve used homeopathy for decades, that story is not getting old at all.
Amandha: Anyway, for those of us who’ve used homeopathy for decades, we see it differently. So here she has ongoing pain. She also wears a hair net at work. She originally thought the hair net had caused it, and she had lymphatic involvement.
Amandha: Her lymphatic system was swollen in the back of her neck, and that’s what brought her to the doctor. The doctor gave her a drug, the drug suppressed the symptoms, and now she’s basically left with low-level postherpetic neuralgia.
Amandha: In my interpretation, the shingles process is still unresolved; the symptoms were suppressed without dealing with what I see as the root cause. I believe that can leave the underlying terrain unaddressed and allow the problem to express elsewhere.
Amandha: So she had a previous injury to this dermatome, and that’s where the shingles has expressed. I said, now would it make some sense? All right, think, would it make some sense that you have damaged tissue, damaged nerve tissue here? And I said, what’s interesting about damaged tissue is toxins tend to accumulate in damaged tissue.
Amandha: I use the analogy of a room in your house that you don’t take good care of. It becomes a dumping ground for all the things you maybe want to take to the Salvation Army, and it just kind of builds up.
Amandha: It’s like that in the body, in the model I’m describing, and it’s time to clean that spot up. I said, ‘Doesn’t it make sense that you have nerve damage and a seizure disorder right there? You already have a compromised nervous system from that injury.’ In my framework, I don’t interpret this as a viral infection.
Amandha: I interpret it as the body trying to mount a strong release from that area. Healing is expression, in the language I use. I see the body as trying to express toxins from that area, often including metals, and that’s where the vaccine discussion comes in for me.
Amandha: I see it as trying to remove and push out metals through the skin, potentially along with other chemicals and waste products. In my model, the skin is being used as an elimination route when the usual routes are not handling the load well.
Amandha: I connect this with what I call the Wei Qi and the liver’s role in protecting the outer shell and the energetic function of the skin. So I told her, if your mind is clear and focused, help the body move the process through. I also said that when you start applying DMSO, you may see a fuller expression again.
Amandha: Again, we will try. I said, the cleaner you can be with your diet, the more optimal you can help your digestive organs, your liver, your kidneys to excrete properly. The less likely you will have another full expression. Okay? But if you’re going to continue on with any bad habits, you’re not going to have enough nutrition in your system.
Amandha: It may decide it’s easier to go back out through the skin rather than dissolve into the blood and move through the body and out through the stool or breath. There are different routes of elimination; we’ve talked about this before.
Amandha: The lungs, liver, kidneys and skin all take part in filtration and elimination in different ways. In the model I’m describing, I focus especially on the liver and bowel for moving waste, while the skin can become a secondary route of elimination through sweat.
Amandha: You want the right, the right, toxin for the job, right? So you don’t really want heavy metals going out through the lungs because they’re not really going to become aerated and float through the, well, some might, but you know what I’m saying, right? That’s not the best route to eliminate metals. alright, so I warned her about that.
Amandha: I said, but you just keep applying and keep using it. Don’t, just because that happens doesn’t mean you stop. Keep applying the colloidal silver, you keep applying the DMSO solution. use magnesium topically, high doses of vitamin C, make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D, taking a vitamin D supplement, vitamin A would be wise.
Amandha: These are supports I use for the lymphatic system and to help move debris. She has limited funds, so I was trying to give her the bare bones of what she could reasonably afford while still supporting the process. There are many other things I might use to accelerate healing, but I wanted to keep it practical for her.
Amandha: Okay, but isn’t it interesting, right? So I ask these questions and these are the questions that the medical establishment does not ask of these, of their patients. They don’t say, well, what do you, so why do you think on this arm? You know, are you right-handed? Are you left-handed? Do you sleep on this side more?
Amandha: Do you wear something specific? What do you do for work? They don’t ask enough questions to find out why it would be in that particular area. People who wear glasses with metal on them, for example, may get a shingles breakout close to where I believe the metals are being absorbed. I connect that with the nerve root, the dorsal nerve root.
Amandha: That’s where the toxins situate themselves. And then your own wonderful body, your brilliant, wonderful, incredible body with its somatids, so many of them live in the, in the small intestine. Many of them are born of the red blood cells. They will come out and they will come to the rescue and they will do the job of excreting the toxins.
Amandha: When the terrain is right and the time is right, I describe the somatids as changing shape pleomorphically to do that job. It’s not their damn fault. Stop blaming the one that’s actually helping. We live in a backward, upside-down cuckoo land, I swear. I could do videos just on this topic alone, but let’s talk about Merck’s Zostavax.
Shingles Vaccines, Chickenpox, and Somatids
Amandha: Then there’s the newer shingles vaccine, the ‘super-duper’ one. What the hell is it called? Sorry, I had everything open and now it’s all loading. There’s that one, and then the other newer shingles vaccine that I refer to as the supercharged one.
Amandha: Our shingles vaccine is not killing enough of our elders fast enough. We should supercharge it. Yeah. Let’s kill ’em faster, shall we? Because we don’t want anymore of these useless eaters. We need their pensions. They have to die. So we better make a more supercharged vaccine. See how many more we can kill faster.
Amandha: Oh yes, it’s called Shingrix. Even the people who name them – Shingrix, by the way – they love Xs. Be aware of Xs. If I see a store that has double Xs, I never walk in that store. Xs are warnings. Warning, there’s an X involved. X-ray: warning. Stay away from Xs.
Amandha: The new herpes zoster shingles vaccine, Shingrix, is produced by GlaxoSmithKline. I make very strong criticisms of Merck and GSK here. Shingrix is marketed as an answer to preventing a painful bout with shingles, and I question the way fear of pain is used in that messaging.
Amandha: You are born on Earth; there is going to be pain. Avoid pain, avoid pain, avoid pain – it’s uncomfortable, I don’t want it. When I was pregnant, one of the things I learned for natural childbirth was to move into my pain. My pain was my pool. I dove into the pain.
Amandha: I went toward the pain. When I did that, I went through the pain rather than trying to avoid it until I was too tired to run away. Shingrix is in head-to-head competition with Merck’s shingles vaccine, Zostavax, licensed in 2006. The advertising for Shingrix is difficult to avoid.
Amandha: It’s taken the place of muzak on pharmacy or doctor’s-office hold lines and is aggressively promoted. The article I’m reading says two doses of Shingrix cost close to $300. It was approved in 2017, and I continue with my criticism of how broadly vaccines are marketed.
Amandha: Of course, you understand this is a billion-dollar industry. I argue that there is a financial incentive to market these products as widely as possible.
Amandha: The CDC published a report in June 2018 discussing a significant number of administration errors and adverse-event reports associated with the new shingles vaccine within the first months it was on the market. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, received 155 reports linked to Shingrix.
Amandha: By the way, I question how much is missed in reporting. Shingrix is given twice, so you get one dose and then another two to six months after the first.
Amandha: The reported errors associated with Shingrix included administration by the subcutaneous route, a mistake that caused significant injection-site reactions such as pain, itching and redness.
Amandha: They always do that in these reports: ‘Oh, it’s just pain and itching.’ I argue that there may be more involved. The article also discusses people younger than 50 receiving the vaccine, the wrong vaccine information sheet being given, and the adjuvant being administered without reconstitution with the antigen.
Amandha: They also reported a shingles vaccine being given to someone who was supposed to get a chickenpox vaccine. I’ll give you the article I was looking at so you can read it for yourself.
Amandha: There’s another article, ‘Shingles Vaccine Dangers Exposed in FDA Letter to Merck,’ from 2017 on GreenMedInfo. It discusses an FDA letter to Merck and the safety information around Zostavax.
Amandha: The article discusses recommendations by age group. I then talk about how many older adults were raised to place a great deal of trust in doctors and may not independently investigate the information they are given.
Amandha: They don’t know how to research well on the internet either, and I believe they’re vulnerable to the way these products are marketed. I also discuss the FDA letter and the addition of an eye-disorder warning, including necrotizing retinitis in patients on immunosuppressive therapy, to the product information.
Amandha: That was the letter. So you have to actually dig into the vaccine insert and source material to understand what is being reported. I then move into my broader criticism of how vaccine safety studies are designed and interpreted.
Amandha: We know this. They’re not tested for against a saline placebo. They’re tested against the adjUVants, which are the poisons, so the metals in the DNA and the toxins, but not the antigen. So they’re tested in that way, and that has no meaning really. That’s not a true placebo, but you give it and then you give a placebo a true one, and then you follow them for 25, 30, 40 years and see how they’re doing.
Amandha: How about that? How’s their health overall from that? How well do they sleep? Poop, eat, laugh, enjoy their life. And how often do they get shingles? Because guess what? The shingles vaccine is giving shingles to people. And not only that, it’s causing shingles to become. Strange. It’s warping the expression that your body, so say, okay, let’s, let’s back up here for a second.
Amandha: We’re talking about what I call the virus myth. Say we have foreign cellular material introduced into the body – somebody else’s cells, DNA and proteins. In the framework I’m presenting, the body is going to recognize that as foreign and try to remove it.
Amandha: Now you’ve already got a population that’s in deficiency states. I ask what else could happen: could that DNA or cellular material behave differently, could there be cross-reactivity, or could the body produce a different kind of response? These are hypotheses I’m raising in the discussion.
Amandha: I say those responses could become pathological if the material is not acclimatized to the body. In my somatid framework, I ask whether you could get a stronger or altered expression when damaged or dying tissue provides the trigger.
Amandha: Now you have something damaged. What is it going to do in the body? Is it going to behave erratically? Is it going to know how to do its job properly? In this part of the talk I’m asking you to consider a different hypothesis and a different angle for looking at the process.
Amandha: Now you’re going to have really big expression and maybe even in tissue that’s not that bad off. Or maybe in tissue that doesn’t have a lot of toxicity, and maybe the action is overkill more than it needs to be, right? So think about a, an improper signal in the body, right? And now what’s that expression going to look like?
Amandha: Right? We’ll talk about MMS as well. I did talk about MMS with the woman who was in here. I said, you could use that as well, but you know, she had enough of some of the things at home, so she was just going to use those. All right, so, and I’ll give you these links. I mean, honestly, the vaccine problem.
Amandha: The two-dose chickenpox vaccine is also part of the discussion. I connect it with reports and arguments about changes in shingles incidence, and I interpret vaccination as introducing foreign cellular information, proteins and other materials into the bloodstream.
Amandha: I compare that with the process I describe for chickenpox in children and shingles in adults. In my framework, these are related expressions with somewhat different purposes and timing.
Amandha: That’s the chickenpox discussion. I say you’ll see similar cellular debris or protein at the site of a chickenpox pustule, and I interpret that as part of the body’s response rather than proof of causation by the particle itself.
Amandha: I then discuss the varicella vaccine and my belief that it suppresses a normal childhood expression. In my model, I connect chickenpox with nutritional status, including vitamin A, and with the body’s ability to process cellular debris efficiently.
Amandha: They’re not able to clean up the debris efficiently. And then again, the body’s going to use the skin. right? It’s always going to be that same thing. It actually becomes quite simple when you understand that the body needs to get rid of toxins. The body needs to get rid of cellular debris, especially in a rapid, rapidly dividing cellular situation of a growth in child.
Amandha: I refer to these as childhood exanthems and describe them as part of the body’s natural expression in the framework I’m presenting. I then explain what I would want to study in children: metal exposure, nutritional status and other environmental and lifestyle factors.
Amandha: I would know exactly the nutritional milieu of what they were, exposed to all their other exposures, pesticides, herbicides, stress levels, emotional issues, whatever. All of that, what they play with, do they play with dirt? What, you know, are they eating fermented foods or not? All of those factors, And then I would be able to identify what child is definitely going to get an expression.
Amandha: I said I would expect those factors to help predict who develops an expression like chickenpox. My daughter had one little spot on her back at six months – that was it. I connect her experience with the way I approached vaccination, nutrition and exposures in her early life.
Amandha: Disgusting. I call it vomit. What a fucking joke. Pardon my French. You’re poisoning them with the very thing that’s going to create the disease, saying it’s preventing the disease. What a world. What a world. I tell you, no, I didn’t poison her. So she’s not going to get any of this stuff. She’s going to have a normal liver and she’s going to excrete properly.
Amandha: She’s not going to need skin expressions. She’s not going to get measles, mumps or chickenpox – well, the little bit she did. Maybe because I was nursing her, maybe I was deficient in vitamin A; I wasn’t taking vitamin A at the time. I discuss fever as part of that childhood process.
Amandha: Primes the hypothalamus. So then you’re strong for life. For life. That’s how you prevent disease guys. None of this stuff is ever going to prevent you from being sick. The vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases for one, and the diseases are preventable by avoiding the vaccines for two and the diseases are preventable.
Oxidation, MMS, Histamine, and Cell Communication
Amandha: By giving proper nutrition into the body, excreting toxins and waste, and doing the detoxification work I teach. That’s how I frame healing. Someone asked about milk thistle. Yes, milk thistle is helpful; I use it all the time.
Amandha: I use it as support for the hepatocytes, the cells of the liver. I don’t describe it as a detox in itself; I describe it as cellular liver support, similar to the way L-glutamine supports the mucosal cells of the gut.
Amandha: There was something else I was reading about what I call good oxidizers. If you’re a good oxidizer, in my model, I say you’ll be less likely to have disease. This leads into my discussion of MMS, or chlorine dioxide solution, which I describe as an oxidizer and strongly defend in this part of the presentation.
Amandha: I become very critical of the FDA and CDC here and argue that people have been prevented from learning about substances I believe can help the body. These are strong views I express in the recording.
Amandha: Hydrogen peroxide is another oxidizer I use. I also describe MMS as an oxidizer and connect oxidation with cellular turnover, apoptosis and the creation of new cells. That’s the biochemical model I’m presenting in this part of the talk.
Amandha: I also say MMS is important in my shingles protocol and discuss it in relation to glyphosate and environmental exposures. This leads into a broader discussion about institutions, health information and individual action.
Amandha: They pretend that they’re good when they’re not, and I’m sorry that’s the case. And I’m sorry that it’s painful to realize it. Dive into your pain, get through the other side, and now you are empowered and you can take action to stop them. But if you are just, going along with whatever your handlers say, that’s an early grave for you.
Amandha: Someone gives a topical MMS recipe in the discussion: 200 drops of citric acid, 10 drops of MMS and three to four ounces of distilled water in a glass spray bottle. I mention that I have also done a video on a DMSO-MMS spray for the skin.
Amandha: Then someone asks about histamines. I don’t have time to explain it at length, but I connect histamines with cellular communication. I also connect histamine reactions with hormone balance, especially progesterone, in the model I use.
Amandha: Okay. We have endocrine disruptors. They’re not only pumping poisons on you, in you all over you, okay? But all of these metals and stuff, by the way, are endocrine disruptors, and they act as estrogen mimics, and they just deplete and destroy your progesterone stores. And if you don’t have enough progesterone, you’re not having cell to cell communication, okay?
Amandha: If you don’t have the cell-to-cell communication I think the terrain needs, how are you going to heal the part of the body you’re working on? That’s the question I’m asking in this section.
Amandha: Let’s get with the program. All right? Seriously, we need to, we have this knowledge, okay? It’s not surprising. It really isn’t. It’s all there. But you have to learn to navigate away from the controllers and their lies. And guess what? They own the media. Okay? They have all the money. They have advantages to make sure that they push the propaganda in your face.
Amandha: Don’t be a schmuck. Don’t be a schmuck. The first, the first thing I go is, first of all, whatever they say, it’s the opposite. So whatever they say, it’s the opposite’s true. So that makes it very easy. Just flip it. If they say the vaccines are good for you, flip it. It’s the opposite. Okay? Now, you know, this is a very simple rule to follow.
Amandha: Very simple. Climate change, oh, lie doesn’t exist. Okay, boom. Flip it on its head. Oh, they want you to, they, oh, this is what they’re putting on the TV. This is what the advertising says. This is what you get when you go to the doctor. This is what you get when you go to any major institution. Flip it on its head.
Amandha: Then you’re closer to the truth, in my view, if you challenge external authority. I talk about codependence and the need to become more interdependent or independent, and I connect that with listening inwardly – what I call listening to God or your higher self.
Amandha: Really, it’s listening to your higher self. Okay. That’s what you’re doing. That’s it’s inward. It makes you, it’s going to force you inward one way or another, easy or hard. So might as well just do it of your own volition, then be forced in there, okay? And then empty yourself. I know nothing. I’m listening. Let it come.
Amandha: Okay? Because if you’re listening to an external authority in that regard, you’re going to be led astray. Okay? That’s, that’s the big time takeaway message. do I sell MMS? Will I make MMS? Legally, I’m not allowed to sell MMS. See, this is they, if MMS, if people knew and everyone had it, no one would ever use antibiotics again.
Amandha: I make a very strong claim here that MMS, or chlorine dioxide solution, could replace antibiotics. That’s my statement in the original recording, and I connect it with my belief that the substance has been suppressed.
Amandha: I say that I make and use MMS in a private-member context and discuss the legal distinction I believe exists between public sale and private sharing. I also mention using it with my child and cats in the original recording.
Amandha: I encourage people interested in that approach to form private groups or workshops where they learn how these solutions are made. This is part of the original discussion of self-reliance and private community.
Amandha: Just do it once a year. Do it. Take your power back, okay, please.
Amandha: All right. So to recap, you don’t vaccinate. You don’t ever vaccinate, but you don’t vaccinate for shingles, okay? Why does it make sense to poison yourself when shingles is an expression of poison? Do you like pain? This is the other irony I see is that people who are afraid of pain, they actually go into more pain.
Amandha: What you fear, you draw near, right? They actually create scenarios to put themselves into those dangerous situations. They’re so afraid of getting shingles, so they go and they poison themselves with shingles. you see, it’s fascinating to watch the human, the human species, whatever the hell we are, is just incredible to me, is actually mind boggling to me.
Amandha: People ask how to get into the private club. I explain that they can email me, receive the information and form, and then get a private link. That’s how it works. Then I come back to DMSO.
Amandha: I have to go soon because this is my final week to work on my book. It’s late – I know it was supposed to be early this month – but I’m too busy and I need to practise some self-care. I also have a hard time getting back to all the emails, so you have to be patient with me.
DMSO for Shingles: Starting Slowly and Supporting Detoxification
Amandha: I want to talk about how I use DMSO in this scenario. In my experience, I believe DMSO can increase the potential for a stronger expression, so I tell people to be careful and go slowly. If one application makes you feel as though something is starting to flare, my response is to step back and reassess the broader terrain rather than treating DMSO as a magic potion.
Amandha: I say, ‘I need to get my vitality up way higher than where it’s at.’ Thinking a magic pill or potion will make it all go away is living in a fantasy world. I treat disease as an opportunity to look at vitality and make broader changes.
Amandha: And I am going to do that. And I’m going to say, All right, I’m going to do some coffee. I’m going to do a juice fast. I’m going to do intermittent fasting. I’m going to stop smoking. I’m going to stop drinking alcohol. I’m going to limit or stop my coffee intake. I’m not going to drink pop anymore. I’m not going to put synthetic sugars into my body.
Amandha: I’m going to stop eating genetically modified products. I’m going to increase my organics into my life. I’m going to eat fruits and vegetables. I’m going to work on decreasing anything and everything that causes me pain in my gut, that causes me congestion in my liver. So any food that I get bloated from that I eat, or I feel that, sluggish after I eat it, or my brain doesn’t work well after I eat it, I’m going to take probiotics.
Amandha: I’m going to work on my gut and take my health to the next level, because I see this as a sign of a deficiency state. I’m going to take supplements or eat better and get the building blocks into my body. Then I ask why shingles has traditionally been associated more often with older adults.
Amandha: So it’s just a virus floating around, attacking only elderly people. Is that the magical virus that just has, is selecting for older people? Right? Again, virus theory makes no sense, guys. The germ theory makes no sense. Okay? Think about it. It’s if it’s a virus and it infects, it will infect. But it doesn’t, it’s selective.
Amandha: Why? Because it doesn’t work like that. elderly people are vulnerable to getting shingles because they have had a lifetime of being poisoned. Okay? They’ve been suckered into the flu shot scandal. The con, the long con, the lifetime of cons. They’ve been, they’ve been poisoned with polio vaccines. They’ve been poisoned with, you know, lead paint.
Amandha: God only knows what else they were exposed to, right? So think of their exposures and their vulnerabilities, and why would it start to express for them? Okay? Is this is, it’s a tendency in a specific age group for a reason. Yeah. Okay. So then all you want to think about is, how do I now excrete metals without damaging my skin?
Amandha: Then I move into the internal-use part of my protocol. I discuss MMS internally and DMSO internally, including the oral amounts I use, and I refer to Jim Humble’s Protocol 1000. I repeatedly tell people to start slowly and work up.
Amandha: You know why you get nausea. This is, this is the thing. Why the, oh, CDC and FDA, oh, be careful of that. Nasty bleach, trigger word much. But anyway, nasty. By the way, you put bleach in our tap water. Fuck wads. Don’t drink bleach, but it’s okay if we put it in your tap water. But don’t drink bleach. Do they hear themselves anyway?
Amandha: I also mention parasites and mould as topics for upcoming videos. I’ve talked about parasites before, and I say I’ll do another recap because I view parasites and mould exposure as important terrain issues.
Amandha: And I’m also going to do a recap on parasites because you want to talk about problems. Viruses aren’t the problem that we’re having. Okay? mold exposure is a problem, or we are having worms, inner babies from exposure to vaccines. Exacerbating autism, which is caused by vaccines and other environmental metals is a problem.
Amandha: I discuss nausea in relation to MMS and interpret it as part of the body’s elimination response. That’s the reasoning I give for using nausea as a signal to slow down rather than push harder.
Amandha: I share an example involving the person who came to do my floors after I had a mould exposure. I also mention Jim Humble’s starting protocol as a way people ease into MMS.
Amandha: So that’s a good place to start anyway, so the guy who came to do my floors, He got, he ate something that upset his stomach. And so I said, okay, what I’m going to do is I’m going to give you MMS and it’s going to help all of that, prevent all of that from going in through the rest of your body, absorbing back into your blood.
Amandha: And I gave it to him a drink of it. I think I did three activated drops in a cup of water, and he just went outside and he vomited it all up and it was over. That was it. He just got it out. Right? Why does the body want to vomit? It wants to get rid of toxins. So even if you, honestly, even if you did MMS and you felt like vomiting, then vomit, then vomit.
Amandha: People are afraid of vomiting, but I describe vomiting and bowel movements as routes of elimination. I tell people in the recording that if nausea becomes too intense, they should back off the MMS rather than overwhelm the body.
Amandha: I extend that same idea to animals in the original discussion, saying that if an animal goes off its food after MMS, I interpret that as a sign the amount is too much and should be reduced. My repeated message in this section is to slow down rather than overwhelm the body.
Amandha: Okay? Ease on down the road. So take it easy and use nausea as the guide. Nausea means you’re starting to absorb the toxins into the gut, which is great, which is what you want. Do you want them floating around your bloodstream? Do you want them in your lymphatic system? Do you want the toxins in your brain?
Amandha: So are we starting to get the picture here? I hope so. I hope the time I’m taking to share this is making some new neural nets and giving you a different way to think. Protocol-wise, I’m also thinking about liver support over the long run.
Amandha: That is going to help in the long run. Obviously, you’re going to use topicals to assist the body to excrete and to remove the problem. Okay. oh yeah, there was a study I wanted to talk to you about. Where was that? It? Oh, by the way, and by the way, You get episodes of diseases like scarlet fever and typhus and these kinds of things, and chickenpox even.
Chickenpox Epidemiology and Audience Questions on Parasites, Fungi, and Terrain
Amandha: You get ebbs and flows in populations, okay? And it all, you could literally relate it to the level of toxicity of the environment to how people get sick or not, okay? All you have to do is look at air pollution, other types of pollutants, air quality, water quality, these things and relate them. You can relate them directly to epidemics.
Amandha: The same discussion then moves into a study from Wales. I say chickenpox vaccination wasn’t part of that setting and talk about the natural rise and fall of illness in populations. I use that as a way to discuss environmental conditions and population health.
Amandha: That’s my Welsh lineage on the non-German side. I talk about countries where chickenpox rates were declining and ask what else might have changed in the region – water, environment, food or other population-level factors.
Amandha: So from, they looked at the epidemiology of Chickenpox and Wales from 1986 to 2001. And the study design was a descriptive analysis of chickenpox consultations reported by the Welsh General Practice Sentinel Surveillance Scheme for infectious diseases compared with annual shingles consultation rates from the same scheme to exclude reporting fatigue and data from a general practice morbidity database to validate results.
Amandha: They had a large registered population – 226,884 patients. I describe the age-standardized and age-specific indices and note that chickenpox consultation rates declined from 1986 to 2001 in older age groups while remaining stable in children aged zero to four.
Amandha: And the shingles also remain low over the same period. But doesn’t that make sense? The shingles should be low as the chickenpox should be low because the general population is not being overly poisoned in the same regard. So the adults are displaying it as shingles. The children are displaying it as chickenpox and it’s less.
Amandha: Maybe they’re eating better as a whole. Maybe they brought in a new staple. You know, these are the things that I would be looking at as a study. And, anyway, it just said that, it was naturally decreasing. The study was showing how it naturally was decreasing. No vaccine required. No vaccine required.
Amandha: I interpret those epidemiological patterns through sanitation and environmental conditions, arguing that disease rates can decline before vaccines are introduced as plumbing, water quality and hygiene improve.
Amandha: You have a way for people to wash. So they’re not getting, they’re able to get rid of their wastes, their own wastes. They’re not recycling their own wastes. Why would they need to get a disease? They don’t because they’re getting rid of their wastes. It’s so simple. All right, protocol time. All right. So I make a 50% colloidal silver and DMSO solution.
Amandha: At this point I move directly into the shingles protocol. I describe a 50% colloidal silver and DMSO solution and a stronger 80% product with added nutrients, and say I usually start with the 50% preparation. I describe DMSO as important for pain and nerve support in my approach.
Amandha: I then say that studies have shown DMSO can help prevent postherpetic neuralgia when used for shingles. That’s the research claim I make in the recording and say I planned to include in my book. I interpret postherpetic neuralgia as incomplete nerve healing.
Amandha: Yeah. Okay. Let’s see. I’m going to find my, where’s my, on my website? I’m just going to go through that protocol or the heck I put it. Oh, here. It’s okay. And look at your questions and stuff.
Amandha: Someone asks about citric acid. I say not all citric acid is made from mould and that it can also come from citrus and other fruit sources. Then I return to questions from the audience.
Amandha: Someone asks whether the smallpox vaccine can cause shingles. I answer within my terrain framework and say I believe many vaccines can contribute to shingles, connecting that belief with metals and skin expression.
Amandha: But what’s in it? Like what are the, what is the specific somatid where, what kind of DNA fragments in there? That’s what you have to figure out and that’s going to help you understand how it’s going to express through the skin. have you heard about a dog worm shrinking cancer tumors? Yeah, the fenbendazole. But be careful that’s a drug.
Amandha: I recommend MMS instead of the deworming drug being discussed and also mention grapefruit seed extract for parasites. I caution that drugs can have side effects and explain that, generally speaking, I prefer the approaches I use outside conventional pharmaceuticals.
Amandha: I then explain why I think a deworming drug could affect a tumour. I connect tumours with longstanding deficiencies, damaged tissue, metabolism, hormones, lymphatic congestion and what I call somatid activity. This is the terrain model I’m presenting.
Amandha: Your lymphatic system is full of waste and toxins. Your own somatids are going to try to do their best repair possible. Can they become pathogenic? That’s arguable what will happen when you have dead dying and damaged tissue now sitting in festering and can’t get out of the body. Well, it’s going to turn moldy.
Amandha: Just like anything, a fruit sending out on your counter is going to attract bugs. It’s going to attract the things of nature that break down the other things of nature. Yeah. And you’re going to naturally get parasites attracted to that yum, yummy buffet you just presented to them. So giving a human at dewormer, shrinking a tumor makes perfect sense because you’re going to kill the worms that are hanging out in the tumor.
Amandha: Okay? Now, a lot of people think they’re the cause of it. I debate that. Okay. I think there’s another deeper problem that’s a true disease force, and these are secondary effects. Fungus is a secondary effect. People say cancer is a fungus. No cancer has fungus. That’s how nature breaks down. Dead damage and dying tissue.
Amandha: Okay. We have an oxidation problem. We have a nutritional deficiency issue. We have a cell-to-cell communication problem. I then talk about mould, bacteria and antibiotics, using the example of compounds produced by mould to deter competing organisms.
Amandha: It’s a product that the mould makes to fight what competes with it. That’s why it kills bacteria. If you’re a mould, do you want bacteria eating you? No – you’re going to make a toxin that kills the bacteria because you don’t want them to eat you.
Amandha: Like a plant putting off a perfume attracts bees. There are plants that put off toxins or, you know, this is nature. Nature either gives something to attract or gives something to deter. No different. We’ve just taken one of the deterrents and turned it into a medicine to damage our own, our own necrotic problem, necrotic breakdown problems, our own lack of nutritional, you know, our little bandaids.
Amandha: That’s what those things are in the framework I’m describing: band-aids that can create other problems. I mention grapefruit seed extract and pumpkin seeds in the parasite discussion, and I say I prefer approaches that encourage parasites to leave rather than simply killing them in place.
Amandha: You don’t want that strong. You don’t want to kill ’em. You want them to run for the hills. You want them to leave your body alive, ideally, okay? Because they eat your crap now. You’re going to kill them and they’re going to reabsorb all the crap in the body. You don’t want that. They’re actually coming to do you a service.
Amandha: They’re coming to eat your crap. Okay? Now chase them away. Say run along now you’ve had your buffet. Run along now and take the food with you. Take all the toxins with you. Thank you. Bye. So you want to chase them out? So grapefruit seed extract and pumpkin seeds and MMS and DMSO and, mm. MSM sulfur. Okay.
Amandha: I also mention diatomaceous earth and MMS in relation to a flatworm issue in one of my cats. This is part of the broader audience discussion on parasites and terrain.
Amandha: Someone comments on fungal DNA. I respond through my pleomorphic or somatid framework and say I don’t use the conventional immune-system model in the same way. I describe the body instead in terms of cellular communication.
Amandha: I don’t use the conventional immune-system model in the same way. I believe we have cell-to-cell communication, and if that communication is damaged it can make mistakes. That’s the framework I’m using when I ask how the body distinguishes its own tissue from fungus.
Amandha: I say the fungus comes from you, so of course it would be similar to you. In the somatid framework I’m describing, pleomorphic cells can shift into different forms, including fungal, bacterial and what I call viral forms, to perform a breakdown or repair function.
Amandha: So it’s not really that the immune system’s going to say, oh, now I’m going to destroy that. Why would it? You made it, you made it to do the job, okay? And to understand the germ theory is false, and the germ theory had to make up the idea of the immune system to sell its lie. So we have to undo, unravel these belief systems.
Amandha: I ask people to start fresh with the idea that the body is innately intelligent and can deal with waste when it has the nutrition and resources it needs. I then continue explaining how I understand fungi and bacteria within the somatid framework.
Amandha: It makes its own bacteria; it makes all these things. I then distinguish that idea from exogenous moulds. In my view, outside moulds are more likely to take hold when you’re already weak, susceptible or very sick. Then, as I put it, there’s ‘a big buffet – come on in, everybody.’
Amandha: I say that when cell-to-cell communication and the body’s defences are severely compromised, exogenous organisms can become a much bigger problem. That’s the point I’m making with the ‘open house’ analogy.
Amandha: That’s when I say the problem can become very serious. Someone asks about fungi that we eat as food. I describe edible mushrooms as fruiting bodies associated with the breakdown of plant material and explain that some fungi are poisonous while others are used as food or medicine.
Amandha: Some of them have compounds we value. I mention beta glucans from mushrooms and discuss them in relation to cancer research and health-supportive properties.
Amandha: Look, I say the words ‘immune system’ too because it’s difficult to describe all of the body’s defence systems every time. Before that term existed, we might have talked about a defence system in the gut, for example.
Amandha: There’s a defence system on your skin, in your mouth, nose, eyes, brain and other tissues. So we call it an immune system, but I don’t think of it as only a collection of B cells, T cells or helper cells.
Amandha: To me, it’s everywhere. It’s your entire body and your entire awareness. That’s why I prefer to think of it in terms of vitality rather than as one isolated system.
Amandha: I continue criticizing the conventional framing, then respond to a viewer who says they made a dewormer for their dogs with diatomaceous earth, garlic, kelp and a bit of black walnut powder. I say those are the kinds of things parasites don’t like.
Full Shingles Protocol: Homeopathy, Nutrients, DMSO, and Topical Support
Amandha: We’ll talk about moulds and yeasts in a different video. I don’t want to get too far off track because I have a lot of writing to do tonight. Now I want to run you through the shingles protocol. Whoever’s watching, timestamp this: protocol. We know shingles can be very painful.
Amandha: I return briefly to vaccines and say we have made more problems through vaccination. I mention Dr. Gary Goldman’s research on the chickenpox vaccine and shingles, describe him as a whistleblower, and allege that the CDC tried to bury evidence and damage his reputation and career.
Amandha: I also mention something I had posted on Facebook about another CDC investigation and make broader allegations that evidence of vaccine harm has been hidden or excluded from reports.
Amandha: I say the explanation given was politics, and I respond by asking what happens when politics and money take priority over people.
Amandha: All right. I talk about what I believe shingles is not, and I refer viewers to Dr. Stefan Lanka’s work and his criticism of germ theory. I connect this with detoxification and restoring communication and function in the skin. When I use the term immune system here, I’m really describing a whole-body approach.
Amandha: There’s a homeopathic remedy called Rhus tox that I use for pain. I also use Rhus tox constitutionally in people who have morning stiffness, including the kind of stiffness I discuss in relation to arthritis.
Amandha: I also use it constitutionally in my shingles protocol for related pain. In the recording I describe taking five pellets under the tongue three times a day, three days on and three days off, then rotating until the pain is gone. Rhus tox is one of the remedies I mention on my website.
Amandha: Then I discuss vitamin C. I mention Biomed products and say I prefer a buffered form because it’s less acidic. I describe the amounts I use in the original protocol and encourage higher intake within the approach I’m presenting.
Amandha: I connect vitamin C with skin and collagen repair, lymphatic support and general nutrition. I also talk about increasing vitamin C when fresh fruits, vegetables and sun exposure are limited in the lifestyle I’m describing.
Amandha: I describe taking five grams twice a day in my own protocol and pairing the second dose with DMSO. I then move into vitamin B12, particularly methylcobalamin, and methylfolate products from Biomed.
Amandha: I prefer Biomed. They have a product with methylfolate as well, and the tablets are chewable. I use B12 for nerve support and discuss the myelin sheath. I also encourage getting enough healthy fats to support nervous-system structure.
Amandha: I explain the myelin sheath as the fatty covering that helps nerve impulses travel efficiently. Then I move into alpha-lipoic acid. I mention that I don’t remember the exact brand I had in front of me.
Amandha: I describe alpha-lipoic acid as an antioxidant involved in cellular energy metabolism and free-radical chemistry. I also mention it in the context of diabetes in the original discussion.
Amandha: From there I move to DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid. I connect DHA with fatty-acid components of nervous tissue and with cognitive and neurological function.
Amandha: I talk about nursing my daughter for three years and giving her DHA during childhood because her nervous system was developing rapidly. That’s the personal example I use when explaining why I value DHA for neurological development.
Amandha: Then I outline a botanical blend containing hyssop, oregano, peppermint, rosemary, sage, self-heal, spearmint, lime and lemon balm. I describe sage as drying and move into lemon balm and licorice as part of the shingles discussion.
Amandha: I say the botanical blend can be taken internally or used topically as a strong tea. I describe soaking a clean cloth in a warm lemon-balm and licorice preparation and placing it over the skin.
Amandha: I suggest leaving the warm cloth on the area for about 15 to 20 minutes or until it cools. Then I move into colloidal silver, describing both oral and topical use in the protocol I present.
Amandha: I also talk about capsicum, or red pepper, and a pepper rub I make for shingles. I remind viewers to wash their hands after using capsicum and avoid touching the eyes.
Amandha: I recommend doing a test patch first to check sensitivity. Then I discuss passionflower for postherpetic neuralgia, including topical use of dried Passiflora incarnata in the approach I present.
Amandha: I pair that discussion with DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, which I apply topically in the protocol. I describe a 50% DMSO solution with colloidal silver or an 80% solution blended with preservative-free aloe vera.
Amandha: I then discuss skullcap, Scutellaria baicalensis, describing it as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, astringent, febrifuge, hemostatic and sedative. Those are the properties I attribute to the herb in the recording.
Amandha: I use skullcap as general nervous-system support in this protocol and connect it with inflammation and oxidative stress. Then my cat interrupts the video for a moment.
Amandha: My cat is soaked – this cat is not afraid of water. After that interruption I move into dong quai, Angelica sinensis.
Botanicals, Oils, Clays, and Nerve Support
Amandha: I describe dong quai as a decoction or tincture and say not to take it during pregnancy. I use it in relation to inflammation and pain in the protocol I’m presenting.
Amandha: I explain inflammation as a normal process that can help move cells and material through tissue, while also saying that prolonged or runaway inflammation can become damaging.
Amandha: I also describe dong quai as pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing. I caution in the recording against combining it with drugs that slow blood clotting because of a possible additive effect, and I use that example to discuss herb-drug interactions more broadly.
Amandha: From there I move to St. John’s wort, which I consider one of the better supports for nerve repair and function in my approach.
Amandha: I mention the homeopathic remedy Hypericum perforatum, botanical forms of St. John’s wort and a topical infused oil. I also caution that St. John’s wort can interact with antidepressants.
Amandha: I describe my St. John’s wort oil as a bright red infused oil that I use for pain, inflammation and especially nerve pain. Then I move into oil of oregano, which I say is very concentrated and needs to be used carefully.
Amandha: I discuss diluting oregano oil well before topical use and describe the oral amounts I use in the original protocol. I emphasize that concentrated essential oils can be intense for the digestive tract.
Amandha: For topical use, I suggest diluting oregano oil into St. John’s wort oil or another carrier oil. I also talk about probiotics and fermented foods when using oregano oil internally.
Amandha: I connect fermented foods with vitamin K2 and bone health in this part of the discussion.
Amandha: Then I mention sea buckthorn oil and return to my terrain interpretation of so-called antiviral actions. I say the goal, in my framework, is to support cell-to-cell communication and help the body move waste rather than simply target a virus.
Amandha: I explain that as tissue repair improves, I would expect the cellular components labelled as viral material to decrease. That’s how I interpret the term antiviral within the terrain framework I’m teaching.
Amandha: I also mention a product called Imu-Gen, containing sea buckthorn, English walnut and dog rose. I describe it as nutritional support for what is commonly called the immune system, or what I prefer to describe as the body’s defence and cellular-communication systems.
Amandha: Topical clays are another part of the protocol. I discuss diatomaceous earth, zeolite and bentonite clays and mention a zeolite-bentonite blend called Gaia Gold.
Amandha: I discuss using those clays topically and internally in my approach and connect them with binding metals and other substances. Those are the therapeutic claims I make in the original recording.
Amandha: For essential oils, I mention chamomile, eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, lemon and tea tree. I describe combining clays or activated charcoal with carrier oils such as castor, sweet almond, grapeseed, fractionated coconut or other suitable oils, then adding selected essential oils.
Amandha: I then return to DMSO and say it can help restore blood flow to the area in the model I’m presenting. I connect improved circulation with faster tissue repair and movement of waste.
Amandha: I also describe DMSO as helping the body express and move waste more quickly. I mention that I have many other DMSO videos and plan to continue making more.
Amandha: I briefly mention foods that contain lysine, including watercress and organic soybeans, and connect lysine with skin repair in the herpes discussion.
Amandha: I continue the food list with black beans, sprouts, carrots, lentil sprouts, lentils, spinach, velvet beans, peas, pumpkin seeds, asparagus, butter beans, Chinese cabbage, fava beans, fenugreek and organic papaya, with the caveat that people should eat foods they digest well.
Amandha: I also mention acupuncture and acupressure points in the written shingles protocol and say the references are included there. I note that the blog post contains a photo of my original college notes on the topic.
Amandha: Then I look at a few more comments before wrapping up. We return briefly to Hypericum, or St. John’s wort, and to questions about combining oregano oil with a carrier such as coconut oil.
Environmental Exposures, Sensory Awareness, and Closing Remarks
Amandha: Sure. Why not? Go for it. So you understand now, okay. The body is just, it’s just always going to be self-cleaning. It’s always going to try to get rid of things that don’t belong there. Yeah. And it is brilliant and it will heal itself, but it needs nutrition. Okay. It needs the building blocks to do that.
Amandha: If you don’t supply the body with what it needs and you keep adding more exposures, I think that becomes part of the problem. I then mention a chemical smell I’ve noticed for years and say I still want to identify exactly what it is.
Amandha: I don’t know whether it’s a fragrance or another chemical. It has a very distinct scent. I say I’ve noticed it in many products and I’m trying to figure out exactly what compound or breakdown product I’m smelling.
Amandha: It’s in so many things, like I’m smelling it from certain hair care products will have it, like shampoos and stuff. I’ll smell it in people. People come in the store and I’ll smell it on them and I want to know what did they use that made that smell? Cause I have like the nose of a bloodhound, right? So I can smell things like really finely.
Amandha: And the other day my daughter was at with her grandparents and she came back not only smelling of it, her coat smelled her outer coat, her snow pants smelt of it, her car seat smelt of it. I’m like, what? I said, grandpa, what? Did you spray something? Did you, what did you, what is this? We were still having this conversation.
Amandha: I’m going to grill him to find out what on earth contained this smell. I have to launder everything, and I was even thinking I might have to throw out the car seat. I ask whether it could have been Febreze or one of those car plug-in scent products.
Amandha: The thing that gets me is that I feel I can navigate many of these exposures by smell. I talk about encountering products in grocery and drug stores that I consider toxic and about wanting to understand what this particular smell is.
Amandha: So you know, it’s automatically all going be bad.
Amandha: I don’t know. Is it a fire retardant? I don’t know. It has to be something used as an additive in many products – shampoos, liquid soaps, dryer sheets, perfumes or other personal-care products.
Amandha: If I smell it, I run in the other direction. I remember first noticing it on my mother and thinking, ‘What is that smell? I can’t place it, but something about it feels wrong to me.’ My senses go on alert.
Amandha: I’m like, ‘That’s wrong. That’s a wrong smell.’ The problem is that people who are exposed to something constantly can stop noticing it. I talk about that as dulling your sensory guidance system and making it harder to steer clear of things your body doesn’t tolerate well.
Amandha: And I think that’s on purpose. I think they make sure that we’re inundated with so many chemicals that we don’t know what’s up or down, and then we’re attracted to toxic chemicals. You know, I had a customer in the store the other day and she was, she was walking, she was walking around like this, like, like, okay.
Amandha: She’s like, it smells so amazing in here. I get this all the time. People always tell me, it smells amazing in here. The first thing they go, oh, it smells good in here. I walk in, it smell so good in here, smells so good in here. But it’s, it’s in this case, she, what she understood significantly, because she’s sense sensitive.
Amandha: She said, ‘This smells good, but healthy-good.’ I told her I don’t use synthetic chemicals or synthetic fragrances in my soaps. I connect synthetic fragrance exposure with endocrine disruption and with what I call the body’s internal sensory compass.
Amandha: Everything. So people are, mm, that synthetic strawberry smell smells good. Right? But it’s a trick, is a trick to your brain. It’s tricking your brain. So if you keep exposing yourself to something that’s tricking you into thinking, it’s that when it’s not, then your brain’s going to adapt. And that’s good. You’re rewriting your brain to say, that’s good, that smells good.
Amandha: That’s something I want. Your feedback system starts saying yes to it. When I smell something I don’t like, alarm bells go off. In the store I mainly use essential oils, along with a small number of phthalate-free fragrance oils that I describe as very light.
Amandha: And, you know, so she noticed, you know, very much, and that it’s a, it’s a different sensation than, you know, you go into these people who use all the fragrances and the soaps, or you go into like a lush store and you’re like, mm, that smell so good. You’re like, yeah, it’s not, it’s a trick. It’s magic show.
Amandha: To me, that kind of synthetic strawberry smell can tell the brain one thing while the substance is something else. I then read a viewer comment about receiving personal beauty products and wanting to ‘eat the entire bathroom’ because the products smelled so nourishing.
Amandha: Someone then asks about constant knee stiffness. I connect the knees and ears with the kidneys in the traditional framework I use and recommend looking at kidney support. Then I start wrapping up and repeat the website information available at the time of the recording.
Amandha: My closing message is to take notes and keep the shingles protocol and the underlying framework with you. You’re going to run into somebody who’s having shingles, and I want you to be able to share the video and point them toward the protocol.
Amandha: I say we need to help people become more aware of the exposures around them and retune their senses so they can recognize what may be affecting them. That’s where I leave the broader terrain discussion.
Amandha: If you’re watching on YouTube, liking, subscribing and sharing helps the numbers and the algorithm. We’ll talk again soon. Thanks again for joining me. Bye for now. Dr. Yummy out.
