Abscess is a localized collection of pus that forms within tissue due to infection. It typically develops when bacteria enter through a break in the skin, such as a cut, puncture, or injection site, or when infection spreads from an adjacent area. In some cases, abscesses arise from internal sources, including infected glands, dental infections, or complications of inflammatory conditions. Risk factors commonly include skin trauma, poor wound healing, diabetes, immune suppression, and conditions that increase susceptibility to bacterial infection. The process involves an inflammatory immune response that walls off the infected material, creating a confined pocket of pus. Depending on location and depth, an abscess may involve superficial skin layers or deeper tissues and organs. Abscesses commonly present as a tender, swollen area that may be red and warm, reflecting active inflammation. The site often becomes increasingly painful over time, and the mass may feel firm early and later become fluctuant as pus accumulates. Some people experience systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, or a general feeling of illness, particularly when the infection is more extensive. If the abscess is near the surface, drainage may occur spontaneously, sometimes accompanied by a foul-smelling discharge. When located internally, symptoms can be less obvious and may include localized pain, pressure, or dysfunction of the affected organ. In dental abscesses, for example, pain may be associated with a specific tooth or gum swelling. The term “abscess” has long been used in medical practice to describe a pus-forming infection that produces a localized cavity. Historically, before modern microbiology, abscesses were recognized by their characteristic swelling, tenderness, and tendency to form a “pocket” of pus. With the development of germ theory and improved understanding of bacterial infections, abscesses became more clearly linked to specific pathogens and routes of entry. Epidemiologically, abscesses occur across age groups and are influenced by factors such as hygiene, access to care, and underlying health conditions that affect immunity. In clinical settings, abscesses are often categorized by location, such as skin and soft tissue, dental, or internal organ abscesses, reflecting differences in presentation and diagnostic approach. Their formation is a common pathological outcome of bacterial infection and represents a classic example of the body’s attempt to contain infection.

Gum Abscess Lasting 5 Years Cleared in Days
MMS recently completely healed an abscess of the gum that I had had for over 5 years, with only three days of treatment and two days of MMS mouthwash.
Calves recover from diarrhea and abscess with milk and MMS administration
02.05.11 – Calves with diarrhea, footballsize abscess
Calves with diarrhea are fit again the next day when they drank their milk in the morning and evening 15 drops of activated MMS.
A cow with a huge, almost a large abscess on the football side needed no antibiotics – internal and external administration of MMS was enough that the accumulated pus from the abscess and set off alone – internal followup dose of MMS, Swedish Bitters tincture externally.
The animal is completely healthy again.
Prostate issues resolved
I’ve had a host of inflammatory issues lasting several years now, including prostatitis and prostate pain. For the last five years, I’ve needed to be up several times during the night to urinate. My wife is taking MMS for cancer with great success and convinced me to get started on it also. I noticed after just a few days of use, I have not needed to be up in the night at all and my prostate pain has completely subsided.
As if that weren’t enough, these are the other improvements I’ve seen: Chronic itchy legs gone. Itchy scalp gone. Neurological twitch gone. Abscess in tooth gone Abscess in scar on chest gone. Hiatal hernia issue diminished. Shortness of breath diminished. Nail fungus gone. Nail growing back. Age spots fading. Knee pain from surgery gone. Can do full squat for first time in years. Nothing short of a miracle.
Cat abcess
Hi, My cat had a very close call and almost died of a very large abscess covering 25 percent of her body. Vets drained and treated her with antibiotics. Scans later showed either abscess or tumor on her liver and they said odds don’t look good. She was very thin and unwell and wasn’t eating much and sometimes nothing at all. I gave her their antibiotics for a start then gave up on them and started giving her MMS daily with some milk, she loves milk and was very thin so was an easy way to get it in to her. Her weight has almost doubled now after 6 months and she looks very healthy. I still give her a maintenance dose sometimes daily other times weekly.
I can already see quite improvement
Hi, I’m writing from Croatia. I’ve heard about MMS and wanted to get it somehow. After I had many problems here in Croatia to get some sodium chlorite I made MMS by myself according to Jim Humble’s instructions. I have paradontose so this is my 4th day of washing my gums and teeth with MMS. I can already see quite improvement.
Also my best friend had 3 lungs abscess during last year and half and she is in very bad condition. I told her about MMS and she decided to try it. First day I gave 2 drops to her, second day I gave 4 drops. Today is the 3rd day and she called me this morning. She was very excited. She woke up with strange feeling in her throat. She cought out something and she described it as a very putrid substance bean size. I think it’s a very good sign. We’ll proceed with taking MMS.
Thank you Jim Humble for this great invention. God bless you.
My primary health issue is an abscess
My primary health issue is an abscess that has been bothering me off and on for over a year. I have noticed a marked decrease in sensitivity after a day or two and lessening discharge. There is poor blood circulation to the tissues in the tooth root areas so I have been supplementing with swishing the solution in the gum area before swallowing.
I would say a definite improvement-80% and will continue till eliminated.
Attacked by a cat
About 3 years ago puss was attacked by a cat just inside our backdoor and scratch on head developed into an abscess. Sorted out at vets, but she came home with an infection and went blind. Vets couldn’t help. Poor puss kept going round in circles and kept close to my husband’s heel if she ventured outside. She was not in a good way. My friend reminded us of MMS so we gave her small dose, prob. one drop, straight into her mouth.
We didn’t think she would make it through that night. But the next day she had already started to improve. Our friend dropped by 2 or 3 times a day during the next couple of days to continue the MMS as we were away. It was a very short time before she had made a full recovery. What a miracle.. thanks to MMS and the Lord as our recipients also get prayed for. Our puss is 18+ her vision is still good and still going strong! Well she sleeps all day and parties all night … a progression into retirement I think.
I have been losing teeth to abscesses
Because of my age and the issue of gum problems associated with ageing, I have been losing teeth to abscesses. They would get loose, and there would be a lot of pain. Then because of the infection in the jaw the tooth would have to be pulled.
I was given some stuff in a small spray bottle and some drops. The pain went nearly straight away, (this was after 3 days where I could hardly eat, sleep, driving was difficult, not good. But I had accepted that losing teeth was the price you paid for growing old). The next day the swelling was gone and the tooth was getting firm again thanks to Mr Humbles product.
That was years ago, now I clean my teeth with MMS. I keep my partial plate in a dish with 6 drops MMS, plus 6 drops of activator, and the plate stays spotless.It remains so bacteria free it looks like brand new … all the discoloration on my remaining teeth is gone. I now have a nice clean mouth.
Incidentally the large age spot that was growing and worried me, that’s gone too with a few dabs of MMS.
My name is David born 14/ 8/1944, and do not have health issues nor required a doctor for over 40 years, but I am careful with what I eat.
