What You May Need
Who can argue that our bodies are wonderfully and fearfully made? They are very intricate and God, in His perfect wisdom filled naturally occurring foods in nature with the necessary vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to thrive. However, decades ago, Big Foods took over the food industry and in their highly processed approach to creating food stuffs, wound up destroying all naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. They then had to add them in on the back end, something they call “enriched.” Yet, because those enriched vitamins/minerals are not naturally occurring and more often than not, man made, they don’t become absorbed into our bodies, but are simply passed out.
Don’t Take My Word for It
We need to remember that it is those people who lied to us about the mRNA jab that are also warning us about healthy alternative healing products like DMSO, Chlorine Dioxide and GSE. I’m encouraged that more and more doctors like William Makis, Pierre Kory and others are stepping up to provide insight into this world of natural wonders versus Big Pharma’s chemical romance.
A Few Health Hacks
All of this may seem too good to be true, but again, there is clinically-based evidence that these outcomes exist when stimulating the Vagus Nerve using a TENS unit (or other techniques, like previously discussed breathing exercises). One strong caution of course, is that prior to using any type of electrical device to stimulate the Vagus Nerve, it is strongly recommended that a person discusses the option with their physician. TENS Units are not for everyone and depending on a specific malady present in a person, a TENS Unit may do more harm than good. Please read the linked articles thoroughly and bring any questions/concerns you might have to your doctor to discuss.

So if our vagus nerve is not in good tonal condition, we will have problems, but fortunately there are things we can personally do to help ensure that our vagus nerve is operating at its best. In her article, you’ll note she presents 11 ways to stimulate our vagus nerve for optimal health. Other health practitioners have similar lists and usually at the top are breathing exercises. This is something that can be done wherever you are and can have a major effect on your health.
DMSO: What to Know
Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor (and I’m glad, frankly!), so please do not mistake anything in this article as a prescription for what might ail you. It is only for educational purposes and an encouragement for each person to do their own research (in spite of what Don Lemon might tell you…)
I’ve been researching DMSO for some time. Of course, “researching” is something that the Left tells us we should not do and instead, but leave it to the professionals. By “professionals,” they usually mean themselves in the news bureaus or people like John Kerry, John Podesta, Bill Gates and other non-science types. In essence, it’s perfectly okay with the Left if these unqualified people provide their opinions on something and because they do, we should pay attention.
Why are we supposed to listen to Bill Gates simply because he happens to be one of the richest men alive but has virtually no background in the sciences? The same applies to John Kerry (his daughter), and John Podesta. They do not possess scientific PhDs and don’t even have an undergraduate major in any of the sciences, so why are we paying attention to them?
It is solely due to the fact that the aforementioned people are simply put in place by technocratic oligarchs to sell global society on what those same technocrats want us to buy and embrace.
Anyone who understands even an inkling of biblical prophecy related to the end of the end times age, understands that serious trouble is coming to this planet.
Just a quick read through the Book of Revelation highlights massive deaths, famines, wars, planetary problems and the like and it seems to be all sequestered into a seven year period known as the Tribulation/Great Tribulation (Revelation 6-18). The future is unchangeable because God has determined it. Still, humanity believes the course of events can be changed, if we will simply do this, that or the other thing.
Along with all the lies we are being told by talking heads who are paid very well for their efforts, we also have to take into consideration that Big Pharma is really not there to cure what ails us. In fact, they have no incentive to cure people. If they cure people, they lose customers, so curing people is not really an option at all. That may be difficult for many to consider and absorb, but the truth is that doctors treat symptoms using prescriptive medications that are not designed to cure. Too often, those medications come with their own set of adverse reactions and symptoms.
RFK Jr., is on the right track in my opinion because he has noted that highly processed foods are so filled with chemicals and poisons that delete our health, that people often go to doctors because of them. Once there, they discuss their symptoms and the doctor provides a “cure,” which is really nothing more than a drug created to counter the symptoms but not necessarily bring about a cure.
We are what we eat and because of that, we go to doctors because of what ails us and most of the time, we think it’s due to aging or lack of exercise. Certainly, that can have something to do with it, but it really starts with the foods and the drinks we allow into our bodies. If we control what we eat and drink, we are more than halfway to good health even as we age.
But there are times, even if we eat well, exercise and avoid unnecessary visits to doctors (including taking the next vaccine for that particular virus), we still suffer from aches, pains, high blood pressure and other ailments. What can we do about those things?
DMSO, also known as Dimethyl Sulfoxide, has been used by veterinarians for years. In fact, I was just yesterday talking with someone locally who owns horses and I asked her if she used DMSO. She quickly responded that it’s a miracle liniment and then she proceeded to tell me how she applied it, making sure the area was thoroughly cleaned, etc. She has seen vast improvement in her horses who suffered pulled muscles and other things.
So, DMSO has been and continues to be used on animals, but the FDA has essentially said that it can only be used on humans for one thing, so they have resolutely refused to approve it for general use in humans. What’s a human being to do then?
I like experimenting on myself. In fact, it’s really the only way to determine the efficacy of any substance. If DMSO can reduce inflammation in horses, why can’t it reduce inflammation in people? For the longest time, even though I have lost over 80 pounds, really watch what I eat, avoid highly processed foods and drinks, I still have issues physically.
I’ve mentioned that I have a recurring Epstein-Barr infection, something my specialist in Florida has told me will rise to the surface during times of stress. Apparently, when I had it as a kid, my immune system never succeeded in destroying it. Epstein-Barr creates massive fatigue. But I have other issues as well, like very tight shoulders and neck. Beyond that, the top of my legs have been sensitive to the point where it was becoming difficult to bend down and then get up without holding onto a piece of furniture. All these things are annoying and remind me that I’m not getting younger.
The more I read about DMSO and it’s potentially healing properties, the more intrigued I became. I bought several books on it and also began reading numerous online articles written by medical professionals. The substack Midwestern Doctor, who writes The Forgotten Side of Medicine, offers numerous articles on DMSO and what he believes to be its benefits.[1] His articles are well worth the read because he offers plenty of documentation and footnoting for what he highlights.
According to Hartmut P. A. Fischer in The DMSO Handbook, DMSO takes on many ailments, from sprains to scars, to frozen shoulders to arthritis and more. DMSO is believed to have anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Marilyn C. Lytle in her book, DMSO Guide, DMSO has anti-inflammatory properties and does wonders for sports injuries, bursitis, tendonitis and much more.
Both books as well as Midwestern Doctor’s substack, discuss using DMSO externally as well as internally. Interestingly enough, once this product came to the fore, Big Pharma tried to jump on it, to claim it as its own. There were issues though (like that garlic odor), that slowed the process. Eventually, as stated the FDA refused to clear it for general use. I have to wonder though if that was done at the behind-the-scenes behest of Big Pharma because of DMSO’s potential curative nature? I don’t know. I’m simply asking the question.
Like CDS, MMS and Methylene Blue (other chemical solvents with noted potential health benefits), DMSO was essentially pushed off the table, only to be used in very specific situations and only externally (and mainly in the veterinarian arena).
I began using DMSO about a month ago only externally. My wife helped me apply it to my neck and shoulder areas. I then applied it to the top of my legs where my thigh muscles always seemed tired and strained. My neck also always felt as though it was so tight, I didn’t really have full range of motion. When I slept, if I slept on my left side, my neck/shoulder area really hurt so I had to spend time in bed on my back or right side. Even chiropractor visits didn’t help that much. However, after about two to four weeks of use, I noticed the pain and tightness in my neck, shoulders and thigh muscles dissipating.
I will admit by the way, that in the beginning of use, I made a few mistakes in applying it. I had actually tried DMSO in gel form a number of months prior because I had a heel spur on my left foot. I made the mistake of applying the gel (70% DMSO with 30% aloe vera), to my heel spur and then I covered it with a bandage and went to sleep. That was the mistake! I woke up in the middle of the night and my heel felt like it was burning! I removed the bandage and tried to wash the DMSO gel away. The next morning it literally looked as though my skin had received an actual burn with my skin in that area shriveled and discolored. It took some time to heal.
After more research, I realized that I should never have covered it because it did not allow the DMSO to “breathe” and dissipate into the air away from my heel. The gel itself worked as somewhat of a “bandage” keeping the DMSO on my foot. I pretty much now only use DMSO liquid not (either full strength or 70% with 30% saline).
Some folks tend to be very sensitive to it so it is best to start with a very weakened strength; 30% or 50%. If experiencing no issues, increasing it is fine. Most of the time I use 100% DMSO and other than my skin feeling a bit itchy or slightly sensitive, there are no other issues for me.
I have noticed that both shoulders and my neck have greatly improved since I began using DMSO. My mobility has also improved in a major way. I can sleep on my left side with nearly no issues and I can actually measure how much better things have gotten. With respect to bending over and standing up again, I’ve also noticed this has become much, much easier!
By the way, my wife and I are fairly active because of our two dogs. They get a nice walk every day over the pasture lands across the road from us. We are not sedentary people. My wife, who has also been using DMSO, has noticed her hands and feet do not ache as they have for too long.
DMSO is said to have regenerative properties. It gets into our cells, which allows our cells to eliminate toxins much easier and more quickly from our bodies. Obviously, this is very beneficial when we can eliminate toxins.
Aside from using DMSO externally, I have also been adding it to my morning beverage. I began with 1/2 teaspoon once per day. Then, when I experienced no adverse events, I did another 1/2 teaspoon in a late afternoon beverage. I did this for a number of weeks. Then I increased to 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1/2 teaspoon in the afternoon. Then, I increased to 1 teaspoon in the am and in the afternoon.
Now, I am adding two teaspoons to my morning beverage and 1 teaspoon to my afternoon beverage. I’m not experiencing any negative side effects, so I will likely continue this routine and will also continue using it externally twice a day. I’ve noticed a major improvement in my shoulders, neck and legs.
According to the authors of the books highlighted above, DMSO is a great preventative. Because there are so many things out there that can damage our health, DMSO appears to be a product that has great efficacy in not only healing things, but in preventing issues from starting.
I know what has been working for me. I simply present this information to readers so that informed decisions can be made, if interested. It seems to me and many others (including medical professionals), that Technocrats don’t want us to live. In fact, they are brazenly telling the world that the population needs reduction. Canada is heavily into their euthanasia program. People like Bill Gates and others are calling for a culling of the population so that the world becomes “sustainable.” Do you think they actually want us healthy? Do you think they want us to live long lives?
Over 15 years ago, Bill Gates was calling for “death panels” because he said then that palliative care had become way too expensive. What does this mean if it doesn’t mean they want us dead?
You have choices. You have opportunities at your disposal to improve the quality of your life. You can place Big Pharma and Big Foods and their many shills who try to shame you into getting their medical procedures on the back burner. I’m not saying that you should never visit a doctor or hospital. I am saying that you should take charge of your health and maybe DMSO has something to offer you. At the very least, it may be worth a bit of your time to research?
Deliberately Frenetic
Is this all part of the plan to make young children dependent on drugs to make it through life? The difference between today and when I was a kid was that even if some kids had a tendency to express ADHD symptoms, because we all played outside, ran around, rode our bikes, or played neighborhood sports and games, our bodies were in much better shape because we did not realize that we were exercising, which, in my opinion is still the best way to deal with ADHD (and a reduction of certain foods). Now, it’s common to pop a pill.
Forced Isolation
I started thinking of that situation and realized what it was – it was actually a form of isolation that is creeping into society in general, keeping people from other people. We are being trained to do without interaction with real people. This is what AI is creating and it’s also why far fewer people are needed in this world. Going into any other store, there would be workers – clerks, managers, stockers, etc. You’d interact with them at some point and continue doing and being a human being among other human beings.
Fight, Flight or Calm?
Often, as mental health experts attest, the fight or flight reaction is something that we experience in our brains, based on how we perceive specific situations we face. But why is this article titled “Fight, Flight or Calm?” when in reality, only the first two – fight or flight – are ever really discussed? Because there is another option and for Christians, that option has to do with our perceptions of what God wants and/or expects from us.
Several examples from Scripture serve to buttress this point. In Daniel 3, we learn of three men by name who faced a particular situation that would have easily meant their executions if God had not intervened. You’ll recall in that chapter, King Nebuchadnezzar had constructed a very tall image that he also decided would be used to call all people to worship. When people heard the music, they were to immediately stop what they were doing and worship the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Most people had no problem with this. They simply obeyed since they were already polytheists, worshiping many different gods. What was one more “god” added to the mix?
However, we soon learn that three Jewish men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (friends of Daniel), would not bow the knee. Faced with the possibility of having to stand before Nebuchadnezzar and explain why they refused to worship the image he had set up, they were brought before him because of their refusal to worship the image.
The three men stood before the king and explained why they would not bow the knee to worship the image the king had set up. They also informed the king that their God was very capable of keeping them safe even if they were tossed into the fiery furnace as punishment for not obeying the king, but further indicated Yahweh might choose not to save them from the fiery furnace and they would perish. However, they wanted the king to understand that in either case they would be saved from the king and his wrath and would go into eternity with clear consciences were God was concerned.
So how did the three men stand up under the pressure to worship the image when they knew to do so would be wrong? They did not by fighting or fleeing but by embracing the situation and experienced calm. They prayed to God, submitted to Him and embraced what it He allowed to come their way instead of shrinking from it.
Another instance from Scripture is with Jesus on the night He was betrayed. As He prayed alone in the Garden of Gethsemane, it became clear what He was facing and it was gruesome in many ways; physically and spiritually. Jesus described it as “this cup” that He sought the Father to remove, but only if it was the Father’s will to do so (Luke 22:42). No one knows exactly what that “cup” was but it clearly included a great deal of suffering. Was it purely the physical pain and agony of what His body would go through that caused Him to reel? Was it the spiritual separation Jesus would experience as the Father poured out His wrath on God the Son? Was it both? We don’t know for certain because Scripture doesn’t tell us.
We can see the struggle Jesus went through in being tempted to want to flee away from what lay in front of Him. The temptation to flee the situation pushed Him to His limit, yet He did not sin by fleeing or fighting against the situation. He submitted Himself to the Father knowing that what was coming His way that evening and the next day was essentially the main reason He had agreed to be born into this world in human skin. How?
When we face situations that cause stress, our brain creates/converts chemicals to neurotransmitters, which is how we handle stress. Stress-inducing situations make it very hard to relax and gain calm. Mental health experts tell us that in our brains, neurotransmitters help us decide how to think. Two particular neurotransmitters (but not the only two), involved in this process are glutamate and GABA (short for gamma aminobutyric acid). These help us think and decide what to do in given stressful situations. However, if our bodies do not produce glutamate or GABA properly, things will be off in our brains and poor decisions may be the result.
Dr. Scott Sherr – director of integrative hyperbaric medicine and health optimization at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions – has spent years working with patients to help determine what works and what doesn’t work. He notes that GABA does wonders for our brains and can actually help our bodies physically detox when things are working correctly. Dr. Joseph Mercola notes that “GABA helps put you into parasympathetic mode, thereby promoting relaxation and stress reduction, indirectly.” [1]
Even though stressful situations cause our bodies and minds to react with either a fight or flight responses, proper amounts of GABA can reduce stress, allowing us to think more clearly and reasonably, better able to make an informed decision. The problem though is that this ability to think clearly and reasonably is often overruled by a lack of GABA.
Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter and GABA the main inhibitory neuro-transmitter. These two are always working in conjunction with each other to maintain a balance. Glutamate converts into GABA in your brain. If you have trouble converting glutamate into GABA, you’ll have excitatory-like symptoms, as the glutamate over-accumulates. [2]
The more glutamate a person has working in their brains, the more overworked your brain will be. Things like impatience, restlessness, anxiety, worry, irritability, lack of focus, and anxiousness will rule your brain. GABA, on the other hand, supports relaxation, good mood, sleep, and calm without impairing cognition.
Our brains are very complex. Evolution did not do that! God did that.
Today, more people are on some sort of SSRI medication (for depression, anxiety, etc.), than previous generations. This increases the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain and is often referred to as the “feel good” neurotransmitter. Research now indicates that this may not be accurate.
Serotonin is typically referred to as “the happiness hormone,” and deficiency is thought to be the source of depression. That’s why depression is routinely treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that raise serotonin levels in your brain. The problem is, serotonin is NOT responsible for depression, and raising your serotonin is the last thing you want to do. Elevated serotonin destroys empathy, love and wisdom, and impairs thyroid function, reduces metabolism, and contributes to reductive stress and insomnia.[3]
We need to ensure we have plenty of glutamate converting to GABA available in our brain. This is done first and foremost, by eating correctly. Most people do not eat correctly today. They instead rely on fast food or restaurant foods and snacks (junk foods), that are heavily processed and laden with chemical additives and preservatives that tend to weaken the body’s immune system as well as keep us from properly breaking down and digesting food in our bodies. The goal for most food producers today is on how it tastes, not how nutritious it actually is for a person.
It’s also clear scientifically that neurotransmitters are often (not always), created in our guts, not our brains. They are then transferred to our brains for use. However, if not adequately created in our guts, they won’t do the correct job in our brains and may do more harm than good. If people ate high quality foods instead of what is normally eaten today, that would be more than half the battle because proper vitamins and nutrition is naturally created in the food God made for us. We become what we eat for good or bad.
It turns out that it’s GABA, not serotonin, that fights depression and provides a sense of well-being. Dr. Scott Sherr says this about GABA and serotonin.
GABA deficiencies are…associated with anxiety, with fear, with depression, with a short temper, phobias, impulsiveness, disorganization, addictions. It’s even associated with schizophrenia and OCD [obsessive-compulsive disorder]. You can also have things like IBS and diarrhea, hypertension, tinnitus, chronic pain, migraines, allergies, frequent urination, flushing, sweating, salt cravings, muscle tension. These are all things that could be signs of GABA deficiency.[4]
The person who suffers from the those things regularly may have consistently low GABA levels in the brain. Sherr says that glutamine is converted into glutamate in our brains, an “excitatory neurotransmitter.” This creates overthinking and hyper-focusing and/or anxiousness and even feeling negatively overwhelmed by your thoughts (“gloom and doom”).
However, glutamate in a normally healthy person will convert to GABA, which will then reduce the excitatory neurotransmitters (balancing them out), into a more relaxed state in the brain, making it possible to better analyze situations and work through them. GABA is one of the transmitters that is actually created in our brains, after conversion from glutamate. So if you are a person who has trouble converting glutamate into GABA (look to your symptoms), you’ll be dealing with excitatory neurotransmitters on a more regular basis. This means glutamate is over-accumulating in the brain and causing a constant state of restlessness, over-thinking, worry, etc. You may even conclude that you’re a “worry wart,” depressed, or that something is seriously wrong with you because all you do is worry and you feel overwhelmed.
What things keep glutamate from converting to GABA? Medical experts tell us it’s often due to a lack of co-factors like B6 and magnesium. Another is a lack of enzyme glutamate decarboxylase. This converts glutamate into GABA so if not present, no conversion occurs, leaving glutamate as excitatory neurotransmitters.
Dr. Mercola notes two common problems that cause this lack: one is an acute or chronic infection and the second is chronic stress that causes elevated cortisol levels. With the rise of stress hormones like cortisol, GABA production is greatly reduced.
The article linked below (in PDF format), goes into great depth on this subject and is well worth the read especially for the times in which we live. Society is now at the point where stressful situations are coming at us non-stop and it takes its toll. I’ve linked to another article on how GABA works to reduce pain as well.[5]
During CV, most people who took the jab did so because they reacted with the fight or flight mode. They were told they’d die if they got CV and wanted to fight off or flee from death by CV. They were eventually told that getting the jab was the cure. It didn’t live up to its hype though and now many are wishing they hadn’t taken it because of the harm it caused them and continues to cause. But this is a perfect example of how excitatory neurotransmitters (causing fear/worry), can deceive us into making erroneous decisions.
I believe God expects us to approach situations in life like the three men in Daniel or Jesus in Luke. As we deal with each situation, our job is to give them over to Him for His will to be accomplished in and through us. This will be very hard for us when we feel completely overwhelmed and have little to no ability to be calm under the assault of those difficult situations. To face situations as the three men and Jesus faced their situations, we need to have the proper tools. Our health is one of those important tools. Reading His Word is another. Praying is certainly another. Trusting in Him is yet another.
Eat the right foods to avoid added chemicals and literal poisons. Add supplementation to your diet after talking with your healthcare provider. Exercise is another way of increasing GABA, but it all starts with food in reality.
Treat your body like it is – the Temple of the Holy Spirit – and God will reward you for it.

Pushing Ahead with Resolve
Most people don’t like to even sneak a peak too long at negative offerings. They prefer to push that aside and focus instead on those things they see as good and uplifting. The trouble is that we must, at times, delve into the negative or the “doom and gloom” because it is there that our direction lies most of the time. Simply ignoring what may well be the inevitable does nothing except allow people to pretend all is well. Then when things actually do go south, They won’t have a proper response to it because they’re completely unprepared.
Too many choose to ignore all the signs that point to the coming reality. This applies to many Christians, largely due to the fact that they are woefully unaware of the prophetic portions of Scripture that specifically deal with the character and nature of the last days prior to the return of Jesus. Most pastors won’t touch the subject either.
Biblical Health is Not Just Spiritual
I believe God wants us to be physically healthy. If we are physically healthy, our brains benefit as well, allowing us to think clearly. If our brains are thinking more clearly, I also believe this can and does impact our spiritual lives. If you feel like warmed over garbage all the time, you tend to focus on your aches, your pains, and your discomfort, don’t you? I did when I was ill. Getting beyond that provides a healthier and more truthful outlook on life.
