Healing with DMSO by Amandha Vollmer on Framing the World

Healing with DMSO Interview: Video Overview

In this Healing with DMSO interview, Amandha Vollmer (ADV) joins the hosts of Framing the World shortly before the 2020 release of her book Healing with DMSO. Amandha describes her background in natural health and product formulation, how she first encountered dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), how that experience led her into the research, and how her work developed into DMSO formulations and a practical book for general readers.

The conversation moves through DMSO’s tree and pulp-industry origins, Dr. Stanley Jacob’s early research, its relationship with water, transdermal delivery, dilution and concentration. Amandha discusses topical applications, eye preparations, pain and inflammation, skin and scar response, internal use, nebulizing, detoxification, magnesium, medication interactions and the handling precautions she considers important. These therapeutic statements reflect the perspectives, research interpretation and clinical experiences presented in the interview.

Audience questions extend the discussion into autoimmune conditions, shingles, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, pets and combining DMSO with other substances. Amandha repeatedly returns to test patches, starting cautiously, clean skin, understanding concentration and learning how DMSO may interact with medications or materials.

Introduction: Amandha Vollmer, Natural Products, and Discovering DMSO

Host: [00:00:00] Okay. All right, Dustin, why don’t you introduce her and then we’ll get going.

Host: Okay, everybody. So our special guest tonight is Amandha Vollmer, and Amanda holds a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biotechnology from the University of Lethbridge, and that’s in Alberta, Canada. A so she is a kook. I’m supposing they’re usually pretty cool folks.

Host: So, All right, so she’s got that degree and a degree of Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, and that’s in Toronto as well. So she also has her previous experience as a certified lab animal technician at the University of Alberta. So most of her life has been taken she has taken an interest in botanical medicine, so that means plants.

Host: Okay guys. So, self-educating on the topic. Many years before becoming her formal medical training, so that’s what she’s been focusing on is medicine. She has the experience with the animals and the plants. And currently she’s authoring a book about [00:01:00] DMSO and that’s what we were talking about tonight, DMSO, which is dimethyl sulfoxide.

Host: And I don’t know what that means specifically. I’m sure it’s relevant, but her book will be out. In April of 2020. So any time now. You didn’t

Amandha: pronounce that a little bit better too. Yeah. I just wanted

Host: to sound smart. So Well, and so, I also have her website here so she can go into it. Her website is Yummy Mummy Emporium, so that’s yummy mummy emporium.org.

Host: So she’s the proprietor of Yummy Mummy Emporium and Apothecary in Menden Ontario, Canada, where she supplies all natural solutions for detoxing and healing. So if we, you know, in this current era where we live, there’s so much junk that we just take on all the time that detoxing is, has to be part of your regimen.

Host: And that’s a simple way to stay healthy without going overboard is just getting rid of all the junk. So I’m sure she can give us some tips on how to do that, how to help us, help ourselves to stay healthy by staying detoxified. So [00:02:00] Amandha, thanks for coming on the show. Tell us a little bit more about yourself.

Amandha: Hey, thanks for having me. It’s wonderful to be here. I, it was a great intro. I just I’ve been doing a lot since I came out of school. I mean, my whole life I’ve been learning and researching and always being, actually, I was an artist at first, so I wanted to be an artist. And then I realized, you know, I was told I couldn’t make money being an artist, which I don’t think is the case, but it, what it did is it.

Amandha: Put my trajectory in a different way. So I started to study more of the sciences even though I was always interested in the natural sciences. And I basically was in school all the way from, you know, when I was little through till I was almost 30. And it was quite a shock coming out of school and seeing what reality was like and I did a lot of traveling, but.

Amandha: Then after school I had a baby and I decided to get out of Toronto because it, I found the city energies really intense for me [00:03:00] especially while pregnant and being an empath, which is basically someone who’s very sensitive to energies. And that offered me a situation where I. Well, I became a single mom.

Amandha: I could own a house and I could have a storefront in the house because in this little town that I moved into, it was a grandfathered clause. So I actually began this particular leg of my journey just because I had a baby. I did, I couldn’t find natural remedies like I wanted, say, a diaper cream, and it was all natural.

Amandha: There wasn’t anything in it that was questionable. And what happened is I end up having to make it. I literally couldn’t find it on the market. Even the ones that said were green at the time, were still questionable.

Amandha: So I decided to make it, and I actually loved making these natural skincare products and things, and I just kept going, and now I make over 150 different remedies and that’s where I started my business.

Amandha: The Yummy Mummy Emporium. And then I had this little bottle of DMSO, which is dimethyl sulfoxide. So [00:04:00] DMSO stands for dimethyl sulfoxide. And it’s from trees. It actually is an extract of trees and it comes off of the pulp and paper industry, actually. It’s like a waste product. You know, trees Are held upright, they’re very strong and sturdy.

Amandha: And then when they have to make paper from it, they use something called white liquor. And it’s two chemicals put together to wash the DMSO out of it, and then it becomes pulp. And so basically it’s what DMSO is, what makes trees strong and upright. And then another industry takes that and just cleans it up basically.

Amandha: And then it can be on the market for all kinds of things including industry. So I had bought a little ball of it because in naturopathic college we only learned about it in sports medicine. So you’d have like a footballer get hit, come to the sidelines, and one of the coaches would, you know, rub DMSO on his injury and they go back to the field.

Amandha: And but I thought, I’m not going to do sports med. I’m. Whatever. I don’t care [00:05:00] at the time. And then I had an experience with it where I used it on myself and it was so powerful. It was such a, an intense sensation. I was like, This, what is this stuff? I didn’t even, I didn’t even research it before now. And that propelled me to do research.

Amandha: And I read 50 studies. I couldn’t get enough of what I was reading. And from there, I’m, I do a lot of health videos and I just, basically, there was I think it was a Saturday my store was even open. It was really slow and I thought, Yeah, I’m just going to do a video on DMSO. And it turned out that it went viral and that was pretty exciting cause I, I hadn’t had a video.

Amandha: Take off quite like that before and it was really, it was called all about DMSO. It’s still on my YouTube channel right now. And that information got people excited because what I realized in my research is a lot of people don’t know about the substance still, even though it’s been around really since, well, technically since the thirties, but really the fifties it’s been known.[00:06:00]

Amandha: So, that, that really helped me to understand its properties and then I started making blends with DMSO, So I have skin cream with it. I have eye drops with it. Make all kinds of different topical applications. That’s quite incredible what its uses are. And then I got a you know, a publisher approached me and said, Hey, do you want to write a book about DMSO?

Amandha: And I said, Sure, I can. Sure I can do that. I’m not busy or anything. I don’t make 150 products or anything so, I did that and it was quite hard because I’m a science mind, so I really wanted to write something very nerdy and which I did. And the publisher kept coming back and saying, Can you like, make this into lay terms,

Amandha: And I was like, Oh my God, I will try. It’s so hard for me to think in that way. So I had to simplify all the language. It was probably the most difficult thing next to having a baby that I’ve done, but it’s coming at end of april.

Host: Well, we’re definitely looking forward to that. That’ll be something that [00:07:00] we’ll definitely promote.

Host: Now we, I’ve got some questions about DMSO for the people who don’t understand, and now that you’ve you’ve rehearsed bringing it down to the more simple levels for., you know, most people don’t understand, you know, we’re going to see how well you can do these questions here,. So how, you mentioned that DMSO is a byproduct of sorts from the paper industry, but you know, it’s healing properties.

Host: How did how did, do you know the history of how that was discovered to be actually something that could be used medicinally?

DMSO History: Dr. Stanley Jacob, Early Research, and Medical Use

Amandha: Yeah. Well, how it really came to be was through someone called Dr. Jacob. And he essentially was working in Dr. Stanley Jacob. He’s gone now. He died in 2015.. But he was working as an MD and a researcher and he was doing a lot of transplant organ transplants.

Amandha: And one of the properties of DMSO is that it actually affects the freezing point of water. And that’s very important if you’re going to take an organ and freeze it and not have cell damage so that you can then, you know, [00:08:00] put it in another animal or whatever you’re doing, or at least have integrity of the organ last because crystals of ice will damage cells.

Amandha: If you can have something where you can still keep the bacteria from dissolving or destroying the organ while keeping the cell intact that’s important. And basically he was in Oregon Health Sciences University, and he was looking at it as a potential Preservative. And this just got incredible because he realized that it is, you know, safe, it didn’t damage or alter the tissues because a lot of these preservatives and things that they use do like even alcohols will do that, will damage the cell tissue or alter it.

Amandha: So it’s harder to study. And he was amazed that it was doing that, and he started to go into the study of it himself and talk about it with amongst other researchers and PhDs and so forth. Now there was, you know, there’s a little bit of a garlic odor to it because DMSO has a sulfur unit in it.

Amandha: And so if you know [00:09:00] sulfur, things like garlic onions smell, right? I think that’s one of the things I, I joke about is that I think God made the most perfect, miraculous substance, which is called DMSO except for one thing, and it’s the odor. Because people who take it orally often will have it come out through their breath, and some even have it come out through their skin.

Amandha: And that’s because the breakdown of it goes to DMS and that puts the sulfur out into the body. So there’s, in my book I have different tricks for, you know, mitigating some of that. But you know, he noticed all these principles basically. And then he published research and he got a lot of pharmaceutical companies interested in it cause they were patenting it as a drug, as a formal drug.

Amandha: There were about six pharmaceutical companies starting to do clinical studies. But then they had in 1965, a woman died. Unfortunately what she had done, Is she had been on a lot of different drugs, many drugs, many medications, and she started [00:10:00] taking high doses of DMSO. And one thing with dimethyl sulfoxide that one of its properties is that it increases the circulation of the blood and it also increases drug delivery to the cells.

Amandha: So it actually can be used as a very effective chemotherapy agent because of that. But this woman obviously did not realize that, and she had an allergic reaction, but for some reason she didn’t stop taking it even though she was having allergic reactions and she died from it. So after that, FDA closed down everything.

Amandha: They closed down clinical trials, they closed down whatever. They’re like, Okay, let’s just back off here. It was also just on the heels of the thalidomide disaster. So they were all really scared about anything new. They were not really open to more, you know, free use of it, that kind of thing. So it actually got a bad reputation deservingly and as well, the media had picked up on it and they blast.

Amandha: Before really it got into this, into the [00:11:00] journals, into the scientific journals, so it also got a bad flavor out in the world. So it really got nasty start. And otherwise it’s a perfectly safe, it’s one of the safest substances I’ve ever seen. I mean, even compared to a lot of botanicals, it’s ex extremely safe.

Amandha: It’s just, you have to understand something like that. You have to understand it’s usage. Right. So that’s really the.

Host: So I want to show you something here. Have you seen this container of DMSO before?

Amandha: Yes, I have.

Host: Okay. This is what Paul sells in his store, and we’re going to give it away to a lucky drawing winner tonight.

Host: So we’re going to come back to some of those dangers that you mentioned. If there’s anything else really to talk about on that,, but if you want to tell us, maybe like, because you mentioned that you have different formulas, even eye drops, and it says like, don’t put this in your eyes. So what would be a good application for this type of DMSO product?

DMSO Dilution, Topical Use, Eye Applications, and Pain

Amandha: So that one is DMSO cream with aloe. What does it say? What percentage is the cream?

Host: It says it’s 99.9% pure DMSO.

Amandha: Yes. But then it’s diluted with,

Host: Yeah. 70% to 30. Okay.

Amandha: Okay, so that’s a really nice product that you have there because a 70% topical application with Aloe is actually a very common use all around use percentage.

Amandha: There’s quite a fine art with DMSO because it has a very intricate and beautiful relationship with water. It actually changes the way that the molecules are situated, depending on its dilution. And because of that, it will have different effects on the body. So for example, a 30% solution of DMSO is very anti-inflammatory.

Amandha: It is the best percentage for anti-inflammatory action. If it’s in a higher, it’s. A higher dose, like the 70%, it’s really great for pain. So that one is like really nice for pain applications. And it will help with inflammation as well, but it’s more going to help with circulation. So it’s depending on the percentage it has [00:13:00] different, you’re not going to put a cream in your eye.

Amandha: first of all, it’s just not, it’s not the right. It’s not, you’re not going to you would, that would not be comfortable. don’t do that. But you would have a, I make a saline solution, a normal saline, and I put the correct percentage. I have a 20%. DMSO with vitamin C and without, and I have a 40% with vitamin C and without, and they’re, they’ll heal cataracts.

Amandha: They help with floaters. They’re, it’s quite known for retinitis pigmentosa which is a very specific disease of the retina. There’s a lot of studies done on the eye and DMSO and dissolving cataracts, removing unwanted materials, healing the eye from after injury. The only really contraindication is if they’ve had a cataract surgery and they have a false lens.

Amandha: It’s not advised to put it directly in the eye as it could, depending on the lens type. It could dissolve or damage or blur the lens. And because we don’t want to risk it, we don’t want to keep testing it that way. It would have to be an independent tester that took a lens and put DMSO on in different concentrations [00:14:00] in order for us to find out what’s safe and what’s not.

Amandha: So for now we just say don’t do it. But you can use it on the eye itself with the eye closed. So you could close the eye, put DMSO on, and a lot of it will go in, in saturated around because it’s completely transdermal. And that’s one of the amazing properties of it is that it’ll go right through the skin and it’ll carry whatever you’ve put with it.

Amandha: So in that application, it’s just Aloe and DMSO are like best buddies because DMSO is adds heat and adds energy. And Aloe is cooling and soothing. So it, they work well together. So that’s a really nice product to have.

Host: Product. Nice. So, what are some other healing properties like, maybe you can get into a little bit more I know maybe a little more science of it.

Amandha: Yeah, certainly it’s more what doesn’t it do? Because it’s one of those panacea things that basically I’ve wired myself. Now if anything happens, I immediately use DMSO. Basically the only thing you don’t use it right away for is if you’re [00:15:00] actively bleeding, but if you’re finished, whatever, say you cut yourself, you finish the bleeding and you’re clotting, then you can apply it and it will actually help the wound heal faster and prevent infection, and prevent all kinds of secondary problems like scarring. Yeah, I make a cream called Facelift in a Jar. Okay. And I mean, it does that because I put DMSO in it in all of these very healing oils.

Amandha: And together there’s a synergy that’s produced. And because the DMSO will carry the small molecular weight products that I’ve put, placed it with, it will actually take things underneath the skin and help plump the skin underneath and it heals. People tell me that, you know, they had scars forever and now they’re gone or they’ve had discoloration, and those things are gone.

Amandha: So that sort of behavior, which is, it seems very miraculous, right? You can use it internally or externally. There are multiple different protocols, basically. You have to be careful if you’re taking it with any, if you’re on any medication, because of the increased usage of the body’s. Abilities, right?

Amandha: To use the medication and you don’t [00:16:00] need as much. So oftentimes I’ll say to people, well start to come down off that medication if you’re using DMSO and there are, you really need to learn, which you know, learn about it a little bit more and learn about sort of red flags in your body if you don’t feel comfortable using it.

Amandha: The nice thing is if you apply it once and you don’t feel that great, just stop. Check with you know your doctor.

Amandha: Check with your holistic practitioner and see, you know, first of all, if you’re on any medications anyway, you’re just suppressing symptoms and that’s not going to heal it. So you want to change your diet, you want to change your lifestyle, and you want to work your way off the drugs.

Amandha: And then you can use DMSO in a really safe way to, to heal the body. You just don’t want to use, It’s too strong, so you don’t want to put it on the body or drink it at its full 99.995% pharmaceutical grade. You don’t want to drink it like that. I have applied it topically pure in a couple of instances in emergencies where the person was in so much debilitating pain and nothing was taking it away.

Amandha: So there are cases under [00:17:00] supervision where you can use it like Dr. Jacob was doing that and other doctors have done that. The problem is it gets red and you get redness, heat, and hives, and people can freak out. And it can peel the skin and whatever, but the skin will grow back normal, and everything will heal normally and sometimes even better.

Amandha: But for general use and advice., that’s not the way to go. I would say 80% is the highest for topical and 50% is the highest for in any orifice and drinking it as well so that you don’t burn the tissue or damage the tissue. You should never ever put pure DMSO in the eye. If 50% or lower is perfectly acceptable and does the job it will still sting and bite and your eye will still water and you might swear and all of that.

Amandha: But it will help things like. The collagen to come back in the body. That’s one of its claim to fame. It’s one of the, it’s a, it’s actually technically considered a cure for scleroderma or one of the most important medicines for scleroderma, which is basically, it can be fatal. It’s a very [00:18:00] rare disabling disease.

Amandha: And what happens is collagen builds up in the body. So the skin swells their hands and face become dense and leathery. They get a lot of calcium deposits because of all the scar tissue buildup. Their joints get stiff. It’s terrible. And it is, they a lot of studies done on it. Have shown that at least half of people use it or more have excellent improvement in their histological change of the collagen.

Amandha: And I’m sure those other half, if they did more applications or say for example, added in other herbals or other lifestyle changes with the DMSO they would see more improvements as well. It’s helpful in arthritis or anything to do with inflammation and pain. So literally anything to do with pain. The only thing you have to think about is if the tissue is, does not have a lot of water content, like say tendons, and ligament.

Amandha: It will help heal those things, but there’s not a lot of water in those parts of the body, so it can be slower to [00:19:00] heal using the DMSO, just because DMSO depends on water for travel in the body. It basically does like a little handshake dance with water and switches off as it travels through the body.

Amandha: And if there’s not an area that. Has enough water saturation, then it’s a slower process to heal. So just be patient with it if it’s something like that. Nervous system trauma, huge. Any kind of injury we’ve had situations where that individual’s been unconscious. They’re, you know, having even issues breathing.

Amandha: You can apply it topically and quite consistently and they come around. Quite rapidly. There was also a case of a boy who had such had a torsion of his stomach. So basically his intestines twisted and became necrotic. And he couldn’t eat right, so he was starving to death and they actually mixed DMSO with nutrients.

Amandha: Which one of the products that I make is that it’s a nutrient rich DMSO blend that you apply topically and so you actually take the nutrients transdermally, like B vitamins and magnesium and [00:20:00] iodine and these types of things. And they fed him this way. They literally fed this boy through his skin using DMSO, which is really quite miraculous.

Amandha: I don’t know of any other substance that does something like that.. And so really wrinkles. People use it, you know, superficially for, you know, wrinkles and scars and all of those things. Internally you can, it’ll absorb as it’s going down. So I usually suggest to use it for things like esophageal cancers, esophageal issues.

Amandha: It is helpful in all kinds of cancers. Lung issues, you can actually use it in a nebulizer. You dilute it. Starting with 20%, you can go as high as 50. And you can breathe it into the lung tissue and it will help remove scar tissue in states like situations like asthma, for example. And help regenerate the tissue.

Amandha: And you can use it over for liver disease, use it over the liver. I mean, the sky’s the limit on its uses. I have a lot of it in my book.

Home Use, Detoxification, Magnesium, and Healing with DMSO

Host: Hey, Amandha. Hey Amandha. So, I’m looking at your website and you mentioned different types of [00:21:00] applications. So Paul has this topical application for, which would be good for if you have like, skin issues or like you mentioned, the inflammation or pain.

Host: You get a bruise or a cut, that would be this type of application. You also mentioned having eye issues, and so you sell an eye.. And then you also mentioned taking it orally for people who maybe have intestinal issues and you’re one of the products I clicked on, maybe it was OID or Silver Variety.

Host: You know, maybe it was, maybe not. But what it was talking about is how your You know, this can help boost your immune system and detoxify. So can you maybe talk about like, how can I have a good solid medicine cabinet? And how many of these types of varieties of DMSO would be practical for an everyday person, a family to have perhaps.

Amandha: Well, it would be probably most economical just to purchase a large amount of the pure DMSO and learn how to dilute it and learn how to mix it with things. And in my book, I’ve put a lot of [00:22:00] recipes in there because my, what I believe in is that everyone can be their own doctor and to empower people to learn how to use these things appropriately because honestly, it really isn’t

Amandha: that difficult. Once you understand some of the principles of the body and how everything’s interconnected, and once you understand the principles of natural medicine and that you don’t suppress symptoms, you listen to the body, you listen to the symptom, and then you apply the appropriate support of that system because if it’s giving you a symptom, then it’s trying to heal something.

Amandha: It’s trying to do something right. For example, producing mucus means it’s got, there’s inflammation. It’s creating mucus to try to cool down the tissue and repair it, and you just want to accelerate that process and move it so that it’s completed rather than putting something over top like a bandaid and suppressing it.

Amandha: So I would say having that on hand, if you’re not comfortable with blending for eyedrops, then have you know that on hand or use that every so often. And, but learn to mix it with distilled water or. Or aloe vera for your topical use. [00:23:00] It’s very easy to do that blending. And then I would say you can use it internally.

Amandha: If you want to do some good detox, it will sequester a lot of free radicals from the body. So it does help reduce what’s called reactive oxygen species or ROS. So you’ll. Cells that are not complete and they will make a free radical, which will damage other cells. And the DMSO sequesters that it uses a system through glutathione which is part of the liver detox system.

Amandha: So it has its own enzymes and DMSO through the sulfur lending. Sulfur to it will help the body detox through the liver system. Some people I notice have problems detoxing. So you do want to make sure your magnesium levels are high when you’re going to use DMSO detoxing or any type of detoxing that you do because magnesium is one of those important mineral.

Amandha: That is in a rate limiting step. Basically, all your six or seven main roots of elimination through the liver [00:24:00] depend on magnesium. So if you are shy on it, which most people are in a deficiency of it then you’re not going to process very rapidly or very well. And so if you’re encouraging detox, you should make sure you have a good magnesium.

Amandha: And I like topical because it absorbs transdermally just like DMSO.

Host: All right, everybody. We’re going to be giving away one of these aloe these aloe vera DMSO creams, so anybody who signs up during the livestream as a Patreon. So go ahead. Patreon.com framing the world and sign up as a Patreon for the channel here.

Host: And we’ll do a drawing at the end. So if you wanted to start out trying DMSO, if you’ve never done it before, this will be a good way for you to do it with little to no investment, maybe a dollar a month. You can take your chances there of course, this is for sale@framingtheworld.com. And Amanda’s going to well, she has.

Host: She has a website and sells the pure liquid. So if you wanted to do what she [00:25:00] recommended, you can get the pure liquid DMSO from her website. And if you’re curious about how to use it, her book is going to be coming out. Do you have a title for that book already?

Amandha: Yep. It’s called Healing with DMSO and it is available now for pre-order at basically all major book sellers.

Host: Nice.

Host: So, when do you think it’s going to be released?

Amandha: It’s released on the 28th.

Host: Perfect. Nice. Thank you. Yeah.

Amandha: Yeah. And I would actually love to sell it on my website. I don’t know how I would be able to do that. Maybe I can just contact you and get it through you.

Host: Yeah, contact me, and I think I just have to connect you with the publisher and they set that up.

Radiation Discussion, Regulatory History, Autoimmune Conditions, and Shingles

Host: Awesome. All right.

Amandha: Yeah. I recommend it for just about everyone to have some of it. And the other thing I wanted to say about it is that it does prevent radiation damage. So a lot of people are scared about 5G right now, or a lot of people are getting X-rays or treatments done.

Amandha: And if they’re primed in their body before they expose themselves, it [00:26:00] actually prevents DNA breakage from ionizing radiation.

Host: This seems like it would be something that the The, you know, the big medicine, big pharma, they would be up against it, you know? Yeah.

Amandha: They don’t like it much.

Host: So what is that?

Host: Like, how are they badmouthing it? What are they saying about it?

Amandha: Well, what’s interesting is like, you know, it started to get out there and then the FDA shut it down. And then they kept it shut down because there was another negative study that showed high doses of it in animals were clouding the lens, the.

Amandha: Yeah. However, when they stopped the DMSO, most of the eyes returned to normal, and they never really followed up on that. They even couldn’t repeat that study. So something was happening in that lab that was questionable. But there’s actually a large body of study around DMSO, and it’s used in FDA-approved devices, for example.

Amandha: it’s considered a known cure for interstitial cystitis, which is an issue of the wall of the bladder which [00:27:00] actually can be fatal. And if, and the thing is, a lot of doctors don’t even know about it. And so patients don’t even know, obviously. And so nobody’s saying, Oh, we have interstitial cystitis.

Amandha: Here’s this DMSO injectable that we do, that you can use and they’re not even really offering it. So in my book, I have a section in the back that talks about all the FDA approved DMSO devices and what they’ve what they’ve agreed to, but they don’t want it out really in the mainstream because it’s bacteri static.

Amandha: I mean, it has so many properties that they would lose their antibiotics about it, right? You don’t even need antibiotics. You use DMSO instead. So they definitely aren’t they did try to shut it down. There’s a bit of history in my book about the nastiness. The publisher didn’t want me to go on and on about it, so I had to cut some out about there.

Amandha: But I am going to privately publish my the rest of the book that I wasn’t aloewed to formally publish. So, That will come out in the next few years because I want all [00:28:00] everyone to know all the dirt. Hey, Amandha. We had a question from our chat here from Deidre Keel. She asked, Does it help with autoimmune issues?

Amandha: Yeah, absolutely. Think of an autoimmune issue as a toxicity. So the tissue that’s being attacked is really has something in it, whether it’s a metal, whether it’s a, a, paraben, whatever that got in there, that is the body thinks it’s so volatile, it would risk destroying the tissue to get it out.

Amandha: And using DMSO will help the tissue repair faster so you have less of an inflammation issue. Get blood flow to the area appropriately, and then help remove whatever that offending thing is in the tissue. You just have to be careful to go slow. And, I mean, with all of these things you should do a test patch on your skin first.

Amandha: Like even that cream that you have there, always do a test patch because you don’t know, it could put you into quite a detox response, right? If you haven’t done any kind of detoxing before, right? Your body might go, Whoa, we’re excited. We’re [00:29:00] going to, we’re going to knock you out for a couple of days or something and make you detox, right?

Amandha: But, so just go slow with it, especially people who have longstanding issues like that. But definitely it’s advised for autoimmune conditions.

Host: and also having my notes here that if somebody has issues with cold sores or shingles, that they could apply this topically. And is that a known certain remedy to that, or would it just re put it into remission or?

Amandha: Well think about these things as they’re not caused by viruses. They’re actually caused by toxicity to the tissue, that specific tissue, and it’s usually the nerve that’s affected. And really it’s just trying to get out toxins through that pathway. If you use, first of all, D MSO topically, if you have a shingles expression it will prevent postherpetic neuralgia.

Amandha: So that’s, You know, it’s sort of healed, but it’s still sensitive and tender. It’s one of its claim to fames actually is to prevent this problem. But if you start to use it, you may actually get a shingles outbreak [00:30:00] because it’s encouraging the body to get rid of the material, to detox it through the skin.

Amandha: I had all kinds of experiences when I first started using it, of my skin opening up and. Stuff out, like using an opportunity to get things out of the body. But if you are consistent with it, and I usually recommend using a 50% with colloidal silver when you treat herpes or treat shingles because it also helps the white blood cell count come up a little bit more and helps the process heal without scars.

Amandha: And. Then you can finish it once and for all and you don’t get it again. So it can do that for you where you actually complete the healing and it’s over and it won’t happen again. And then for applications, if you do have herpes outbreaks applying it regularly that way and and soothing the tissue, moisturizing the tissue in between, it can actually heal it completely.

Audience Q&A: Epilepsy, Thyroid, Synergy, and Practical Safety

Host: Wow. So, we’re getting questions here in the chat. One of the question. I’m going to jump to this one. Here it is. That what about epilepsy? Epilepsy and seizures? Is there any known connection with effectiveness there in that area? [00:31:00]

Amandha: Well, it’s always going to depend on the cause of that particular disorder how long they’ve had it, et cetera.

Amandha: So there’s a bit of speculation, but basically anything where you’re going to assist blood flow to an area is going to assist the healing of it, right? So usually for epilepsy, what I suggest is to use a combination. CBD oil and DMSO and it will assist the CBD to get into the region because it has a passive blood brain barrier.

Amandha: And DMSO does do that, and it will carry things past the blood brain barrier, even if you’re on certain medications and they’re not getting to an area, it can assist in that as well. The inflammation and the secondary issues from having epilepsy, it can definitely help with as well, like if you’re, if you fall hurt yourself, that kind of thing.

Amandha: Yeah, absolutely. You’re going to want to employ it and play with your doses to see what’s the perfect fit for you. And it is can be case by case basis on that as well.

Host: And one more question and I think we’ll switch [00:32:00] gears, but the question is hypothyroidism, is that something that has been addressed with studies around a DM?

Amandha: Yes. Anything to do with the thyroid, you’re going to have healing of the tissue. And so really with hypothyroidism, you definitely need to treat the adrenal glands because it’s usually coming from the fact that the adrenal glands have not been dealt with for a long time. So you have a stress problem, and then it’s hit.

Amandha: It’s starting to pull on the thyroid, pull on the thyroid, pull on the thyroid, and then the thyroid goes into hypothyroidism. But like, actually one of the first things I applied was on my neck and my parathyroid. So there’s four parathyroids that sit on the thyroid actually opened up and I, it started expressing all this toxic matter for like almost a week.

Amandha: So it’s, I would definitely do paint patch over the thyroid. You can mix it with a few drops of iodine, for example. And then always though, treat. The the adrenals make high dose vitamin C. You can do shoot, extract you [00:33:00] know, magnesium always and a bult, like those are usually the places you start with that and it will work in conjunction.

Amandha: So the, so DMSO on its own is a healer, but when you start, the real beauty of it, and this is where I’m really passionate about it, is when you start mixing it and blending it with things and you get that synergy ball, you know, that’s when you get real. Work effects, like miraculous sorts of things.

Host: Awesome. I come, I keep coming up with new questions. Could somebody who was savvy, could they harvest this themselves?

Amandha: Not particularly. I mean, you have to have a chemistry lab to do it. Pretty much.

Host: Yeah. Well, some of these things are out in nature, and if somebody has the capabilities to do that, it would be something that maybe they could do, but it wouldn’t be something in this case.

Host: So, know some of the dangers. I don’t want to end on the dangers, but you know, are you, do you have a chapter in your book that, that addresses any of that stuff? Would your book be able to go [00:34:00] into is. For the most part, something that isn’t very like high risk.

Amandha: It’s very low risk.

Amandha: It’s one of the most lowest risk things out there. But with anything like this, especially when you have such a transdermal nature to it, you have to know what you’re doing because it’s not going to kill you. It’s just you could have a situation that. You know, is in, oops, For example, I was playing with rust and I was washing rust off of something and I had rust on my hands, and then I didn’t wash my hands and I started to apply DMSO and I realized I was putting, because when you put DMSO in your skin, you’ll immediately taste it in your mouth.

Amandha: So you put it on your foot, you’re going to taste it in your mouth almost immediately because it hits through the nervous. Like in an instant. And so I started to taste rust. I’m like, Oh no, that was really dumb. But I learned sometimes that way and it really taught me something, you know, these types of mistakes.

Amandha: And so you [00:35:00] definitely, if people say they change the oil in their cars, they don’t wash your hands. You don’t want to go and put your hand in the DMSO. Thing and rub it on your skin, you’re going to take that also into your skin. So really being wise about what your, Just wash your hands, I mean, wash your hands of any toxin, that’s potential.

Amandha: Then you’re not going to have an issue. Right. Just be sort of savvy about it like that. And it won’t carry in things that are large, it won’t carry in bacteria or anything like that.

Host: Well, people in the chat are asking, you know, where do we get this book? Can you just plug it one more time where they can order it?

Healing with DMSO Book, Pets, Topical Blends, and Closing Remarks

Amandha: Yes. So the name is Healing with DMSO. And if you go to say, like Amazon, Barnes and Noble Chapters Indigo there’s one in the UK, I forget the name of it, sorry. There’s even an ebook format that I started seeing about. So there’s there’s hardcover, softcover and ebook available, healing with DMSO.

Amandha: Yeah. Yeah, I tried to keep it very [00:36:00] easy to function with it. Actually, I almost did sort of a PhD because when I started to research I got a little bit of an advance from the publisher and so I thought, I’m going to just buy all the DMSO books. I want to read them all. I want it. All right. So I bought every English speaking one because there’s a lot of ones in German.

Amandha: There’s Germany’s onto. But I, so I couldn’t get all of them and I basically read every single book I could get my hands on. So that’s almost like how a PhD works, right? Where you get all the information and then you, and then after you do your writing. So it was, but what it showed me is it’s really, there’s not that much out there really, Like in the span of things.

Amandha: There’s a lot of studies, which I read as many as I.. But there’s not a lot of books and none of the books I read had, you know, some of the history and obviously some of the uses and so forth in, but they didn’t have. They didn’t have the recipes like they would tell you maybe how to mix it and stuff, but they didn’t have actual specific recipes, like recipes to treat toenail fungus and recipes for ear infections [00:37:00] and, you know, recipes for animals.

Amandha: I have animal section in there too, because it’s great for your pets. It’s great for it’s very safe for your animals to use and I’ve used it with great success on many animals too. So, yeah.

Host: So, We’re going to we’re going to give this away. We’re going to give one of these away to whoever wins the random drawing for.

Host: And you’re entering this drawing whenever you sign up to be a Patreon during this livestream. And Amandha, this one here that I’ve got in my hand, You mentioned so many different uses. So this would be good if somebody does have the shingle situation or cold sores. This would be good if they have toe fungus.

Host: It would be something they could apply topically to their feet or if

Amandha: If they had toe fungus, all they would do is take some of the cream into their hands, put a drop of Lugol’s iodine in it, and then rub that all in the toe area.

Host: Okay. And then you mentioned also mixing with iodine if you had hypothyroidism so that this very cream would be effective in all those types of treatment.

Amandha: Yeah, I mean, it’s 70%, so sometimes might need a little higher or sometimes might need a little lower. But [00:38:00] definitely testing yourself with it and see how you like it and what you found it helpful for. If you’re using it on a spot of acne or if you’re using it as an analgesic. On something like sore muscles or you have restless legs and you want to maybe mix it with a bit of magnesium. I’m actually in the development of a product now, which is DMSO with magnesium together. To help those two absorb really nicely and that’s great for any type of muscle ache and pain and restless legs as well. So, yeah, they could definitely do that.

Host: And if you take a lot of it, bring some breath mints, because they might make you have a little breath. I don’t know. I know when I’m sick my wife’s like, hands me garlic cloves and just like, Hey, just chop on this and I’ll throw back some garlic. I don’t even care what people think. I’d rather, Yeah,. So

Amandha: it’s not that bad really.

Amandha: I’ve smelled it on some people like they’re off gassing pretty seriously. But for the most part, like I have a couple of people I, because I do see clients and I have a client and she had a, has a tumor on her kidney and we’ve been just helping [00:39:00] her prepare and. Dissolve it and stuff. She’s been doing a lot of topical PS and things and lots of DMSO and so her and her husband both are doing it and they come in and I can smell it on their breath a little, but it’s not that terrible.

Amandha: You can use oil of wintergreen or wintergreen gum that tends to sort of knock it out a little bit and if the, if your, you lose your friends over something like that, then they weren’t your friends to begin with. So, Well, it’s not bad at all guys. You don’t really taste it much at all.

Host: So Amandha Vollmer, she, you can find her at Dr.

Host: Underscore Va on at Twitter. She has her website here and I lost where it is. But it is The Yummy Mummy. It’s that top one. Yeah. Is it Yummy? Mummy, please help me. yum.org. emporium.org. You can find her on Facebook also. She’s going to have her book there. We’ve got that there on Amazon. And we just want to let everybody know that, like with this DMSO, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by finding this one.

Host: One thing that fixes so many is you have to have it [00:40:00] in your medicine cabinet. Check out her website there, she sells it in different varieties, different types of application. So you’ll find what you need and clearly when you buy that. Healing with DMSO, you can pre-order now on Amazon. You can take that and go through it.

Host: It’ll help you figure out how you want to apply the specific remedy using DMSO to whatever your issues may be. So we just want to thank you so much for coming in and talking specifically about DMSO. I’ve become much better educated from you sharing this knowledge.
