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.

User prepares and uses MMS for gum and lung symptoms
Hi, I’m writting 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.
Tumor softens after consistent MMS and Tetrasil use
I started taking the one drop Wednesday. The instructions say to drink the mix within the hour. Since there is an hour to drink it, I sip until it’s gone. Up to 3 drops today, in 3 oz. of water. With no adverse affects, it makes you want to take it twice a day, but that might be pushing it.
I am the one who thought a boil on the bottom was surfacing when it was not! After treating for boil for 2 weeks, I went to a holistic doctor. Made a couple of visits. I am apprehensive about using black salve because of where the growth is located. The process of using the black salve further up in order to draw it out roots and all would be very painful.
It seems reasonable to me that MMS will go through the bloodstream and attack the thing at the root while I attack from the surface with Tetrasil. Already the thing is softening. Should be competely gone in a month or two. 🙂
————————-
A progress report:
Day 9 on MMS finds the tumor so soft to the touch that I can barely feel it when applying Tetrasil topically to it and the surrounding tissues. I felt lousy all day Tuesday, so left off the MMS thinking that the dead cells floating around in my bloodstream made me toxic. I had a bout of diarrhea that was handled nicely with Immodium. Got back on schedule, but went back to 4 drops yesterday. After reading the posts here, I might have been further down the road had I taken 4 drops 2Xday. Will begin that today. I was waiting until the hard copy book comes. This is the ONLY way to go as far as I’m concerned.
I am extremely grateful to the OP for starting this thread. It probably saved my life.
{Subsequent post on 10/9/07}
i started at 6 drops 2X/day and worked up to 15. Had quite a bit of nausea and stomach cramps and diarrhea at the higher dosage levels.
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.

Abscess resolved within hours
Abscess KO’ed in a matter of hours
Thank God I’ve been blessed with good health in general, but I’ve had a occasion to use this solution to deal with a few different issues to include abscess tooth, food poisoning, various stomach issues… fortunately I’ve had no serious issues thus far to address….

MMS and Waterpik irrigation resolve tooth abscesses and gum infections
From Juan To Jim Humble” I just wanted to drop you an email to let you know how the MMS is working with the abscessed teeth. I imagine you already know this having worked with so many people already over the years, but dentists really have no way of knowing whether the tooth itself is actually the source of the infection. They take the x-rays and if they see the spot of infection on the x-ray, they say you need a root canal. There is no way of knowing for certain whether it is the tooth or the gum that is the source of the abscess from just an x-ray, but that being said, the x-ray did show that I had a large pocket infection under the bottom tip of the root in one of my bottom molars. I had every tooth in my mouth cosmetically repaired with porcelain crowns in 2003 so when I just recently had this toothache and the dentist told me it was the tooth that was abscessed, I thought it was ludicrous. Even though I saw the x-ray I knew there was no way my tooth could have decayed so much in 6 years after all of the work I had done. I argued that the infection had to be in the gum regardless of what the dentist said or the x-ray showed. I started looking for miracle cures online and found MMS. As you know, I went with DMSO and MMS and this knocked out the infection in a couple of days, however, the infection would come back in a week or two sometimes and I would have to keep the DMSO and MMS on it again to knock it back out but it did work to stop immediate pain and suffering. I got the idea to put MMS in a Waterpik so that the solution could get down deep into the root canal and this has proven so far to be a more effective way to treat the abscess. Using MMS in the irrigation cleaning solution knocked out whatever was down there and it has not come back. I put 10 drops of activated MMS inside a full glass of mineral water to fill the irrigation chamber of the Waterpik and did the irrigation cleaning as one normally would use a Waterpik. There are things called cannula tips which are attachments for the Waterpik like a syringe that can be used to penetrate as deep as possible into the canal of the tooth if need be and I used them. Just wanted to let you know this in case there may be some folks you can pass it on to. I hope people know that if the dentist says they need a root canal they should question it and try cleaning the tooth canal with MMS in a Waterpik and see how well they fare. It is pretty impressive how quickly this method delivers relief. In a couple of hours the throbbing and shooting pains stop and it got better and better quickly and has not come back. I have no way of being certain that my abscess was inside the tooth, although it certainly was deep inside the gum, under the root of the tooth which appeared to be coming from the root of the tooth in the x-ray. The MMS has healed the rest of mouth too. I could feel infections inside the gums on the bottom two areas where I had my wisdom teeth removed 15 years ago. Just brushing with MMS and the MMS in irrigation has knocked that out too since the last time we emailed each other. ” –
