Hello Justin;

In reference to your friend with intestinal adhesions:

Yes, a real problem after abdominal surgery. And those lesions can cause enough blockage to be deadly. The issue is can anything break up or reduce the size of the scar tissue. I've though a lot about that as I have some personal experience with the same. I have a theory and you are asking specifically about how DMSO might help. My thinking also. I just experimented with DMSO mixed with a small amount of Ammonia to shrink a cyst. The first application seems to have produced a small amount of reduction. This is JUST in the experimental phase and I'd leave it to the MD/chemist guru types to explain the chemistry as to why this might work. The cyst is just below the surface of the skin. So the idea of DMSO/ammonia to attack scar tissue might not be the same. I know DMSO is (among other things) anti inflammatory. Given that fact, is it possible the scar tissue growth is the result of inflammation?....and so the theory might be that if enough DMSO were applied to the scar tissue, then the size of the growth would diminish....Just a theory.

That is, would the DMSO alone...I am using a DMSO GEL...help with the inflammation?

So, if me, trying to reduce a scar tissue internally, I might try application of DMSO Gel every other day for a month on the sight of the surgery.

This too: Remember there are patches which are can be commercially purchased that can be applied to the surface of the skin that reduce scars. I believe those products have an onion extract as the active ingredient. (I stand to be corrected.) But the point is that there does exist substances that will diminish scar tissue...SO... my thinking is ... if I could get it to the site (internally) would that be a way to diminish the lesion size on the colon itself (or even internal to the colon).

Just throwing out ideas; 1. DMSO alone. 2. DMSO with an additive.

DMSO gel is as effective as DMSO liquid. Maybe more so in some instances. I'll let you know how my "cyst" experiment is coming. (BTW, I know that it is a cyst, because it was removed surgically years ago and grew right back six months later. Same place exactly.)

Justin, read up on Nattokinase and Serrapeptase for dissolving adhesions.

Justin,

I have had 2 major abdominal surgeries. 1 for cancer, 1 for small bowel obstruction.

I have tried many things but the most effect was a visit to the clear passage clinic in florida which uses manual therapy to break apart the adhesions and restore bowel function.

My first visit for a week got me 50-60 percent improvement and this last visit I am closer to 80% improved.

I also take serrapeptase 2x a day on an empty stomach which I believe helps soften the scars tissue inside the abdomen.

Hope this helps!

Serrapeptase and thiosininum 30c change my life. Pain free

Hi I had adhesions due to surgery for removal of the right ovary and fallopian tube (laparotomy) due to a large melon sized cyst. I had 6 subsequent operations to divide adhesions from the same area just causing more and more adhesions. I lived with years and years of chronic pain and developed cancer at this site. In trying to treat the cancer I used DMSO (internally a few drops every day) and also had a vegan diet, use of supplements (including serrapeptase and MSM) and daily coffee enemas.

Around six weeks into the DMSO use I began to notice a reduction in pain and passing a lot of clear tissue. Pain continued to reduce and subsequent surgery showed a breakdown of adhesions with organs (womb and bowel) no longer attached. Surgeons admitted that they were shocked - 3 prior surgeries alone to separate the bowel and womb. It worked for me. Read the work of Stanley Jacobs

Often with vegetarians and vegans there is an issue with lectin sensitivity. Since they only eating plant based they are exposed to higher amounts. Different people react to different lectins differently based on genetics. Lectin sensitivity is creating chronic inflammation in the gut which causes the adhesions. This causes scar tissue and adhesions and likely why got problem in first place. Dr Gundry has book called Plant Paradox about this. Weston A Price has good articles about how to reduce lectin exposure. Dr. Laura Powers has a whole lectin pdf based on blood type. I think Cyrex Labs has tests for this that are generally the best. Strategic way to know which lectins to remove. Takes guesswork out.

Treatment has to be multifactorial. Remove the source and treat the gut.

1) remove the exposure to thing causing issue often lectins. Can be pathogenic gut infection and/or heavy metal toxins in gut. Nematode infection is known to go unnoticed they can create adhesions in case of endometriosis often find that infection. Chemicals in foods can also cause chronic gut inflammation. As can food allergies and intolerances like gluten. Gluten is a lectin some people negatively respond to and causes this issue. But there are many different lectins. I think Cyrex Labs has tests for this that are generally the best.

2) heal the gut dmso w/ aloe, castor oil packs, serrapeptase, herbs, probiotics, MSM. Collagen and vit C are also critical nutrients for healing gut tissue. Collostrum can be super healing in gut. Bifidobacterium Infantis can help heal leaky gut if that's a secondary issue. Super healing strain.

In 2010, I had laproscopic surgery they found massive adhesions in my gut. Turns out I was undiagnosed celiac sensitive to lectin gluten, I had pathogenic infections, leaky gut, gut dysbiosis, and heavy metals in my gut. They cut out what they could and I used castor oil packs, light therapy, myofascial release, iodine, herbs, probiotics. I was put on an elimination diet first to stop inflammation then a healing diet. Transitioned after into an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet that is gluten free. That cured me. That was long before I knew about dmso/aloe. Now I would include that to speed the process.

I know this post has been a while, and I am hoping magic works that Claire (Northern Ireland) would get to read my message: I am dealing with severe abdominal pain and spasm from abdominal adhesions. I want to see whether your DMSO treatment continues to help you, and what's the dosage and brand you took? Is this something you stay on, or once the adhesions dissolved, we can stop taking it.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply. I will try aloe Vera juice.
