Case study: Chronic venous insufficiency of the right foot treated successfully with CDS + DMSO

Background and presentation: 79-year-old woman, housewife, obese, with hypertension and long-standing type 2 diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle. On 18 Aug 2022 she stepped on a nail in the plantar surface of her right foot. The wound became infected and, after 16 days without effective care, she developed severe pain, marked swelling and a deep plantar ulcer. Hospital angio-CT showed virtually absent blood flow to the right foot and extensive venous damage. The vascular team recommended amputation above the knee. Conventional care at that hospital did not produce improvement; the patient declined amputation and sought an alternative.

Intervention and rationale: After voluntary discharge she received CDS combined with DMSO, administered topically to the lesion and orally according to the treating team’s protocol (Protocolo K). The combined approach aimed to reduce local microbial burden, facilitate tissue penetration via DMSO and support restoration of microcirculatory function.

Clinical course and outcomes: On arrival to the clinic the foot contained coagulated blood and showed almost no distal perfusion. Following drainage of the coagulum and initiation of CDS + DMSO, a clear and sustained turnaround began. Within three weeks the patient had striking clinical improvement: pain and edema were substantially reduced and a weak distal pulse became palpable. Over the next months the wound showed progressive granulation and re-epithelialization; at three months weak venous circulation was evident, at four months perfusion and tissue quality continued to improve, and by five months the plantar ulcer had greatly healed and limb viability was preserved. Importantly, the severe trajectory predicted by standard care — immediate amputation — was averted.

Interpretation: In this case, conventional hospital care failed to restore perfusion or resolve the infection and the clinical team recommended amputation. The addition of CDS + DMSO was followed by rapid clinical benefit, progressive tissue repair and recovery of detectable distal blood flow, resulting in limb salvage. The temporal relationship and the magnitude of improvement after initiating CDS + DMSO support a meaningful positive treatment effect in this patient.

Limitations: This is a single uncontrolled case and lacks quantitative serial vascular indices, detailed dosing records, and full information on concurrent therapies or metabolic control. Nevertheless, the outcome—avoidance of amputation after failure of standard hospital management—is clinically significant and warrants further systematic study.

Conclusion: For this elderly diabetic patient with an infected ischemic plantar ulcer judged unsalvageable by standard vascular care, adjunctive treatment with CDS + DMSO coincided with rapid symptom relief, progressive wound healing and restoration of distal perfusion, enabling limb preservation. The case highlights potential therapeutic value of CDS + DMSO when conventional approaches are ineffective and supports the need for formal clinical evaluation.

Case study: Successful treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and infected plantar ulcer with CDS + DMSO — Testimony Dr. Jorge Ponce (Honduras)

Patient and timeline

• Patient: 79-year-old woman, housewife, obese, history of hypertension (HTA) and type 2 diabetes (DM II), sedentary lifestyle.
• Injury: 18 August 2022 — stepped on a nail with the right foot (plantar surface).
• Early course: over the following days the wound became infected; no medical care was sought initially.
• Worsening and hospital presentation: 3 September 2022 (16 days after the injury) — foot became markedly swollen, very painful, and a plantar ulcer formed. She was taken to the emergency unit (HEU) and underwent a venous angio-CT of the lower limbs.
• Hospital recommendation: the angio-CT showed severely reduced blood flow to the right foot and extensive venous damage. The vascular surgeon recommended amputation of the right lower limb due to deficient perfusion. During this hospital stay she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
• Patient decision: the patient refused amputation and signed out of the hospital seeking alternative treatment.

Intervention

• After voluntary discharge the treating team started a combined protocol of CDS plus DMSO.
• Treatment included drainage of coagulated blood from the wound, topical application of CDS + DMSO to the lesion and oral administration according to the team’s protocol (Protocolo K). Exact doses and schedule were not specified in the source.

Clinical course and outcomes

• Initial clinic status: on arrival at the clinic the foot showed coagulated blood in the wound and virtually absent distal blood flow.
• Short-term response (≈3 weeks): after drainage and initiation of CDS + DMSO the patient showed marked clinical improvement — substantial reduction in pain and edema and the emergence of a weak palpable distal pulse.
• Intermediate follow-up (3 months): weak but detectable venous circulation was present; the ulcer showed progressive granulation.
• Continued recovery (4 months): perfusion and tissue appearance continued to improve with ongoing healing.
• Later outcome (5 months): the plantar ulcer had significantly healed, tissue quality improved and distal perfusion was better; the limb was preserved and amputation avoided.

Interpretation

• Standard hospital management did not restore perfusion or resolve the infectious process and resulted in a recommendation for amputation. After initiation of CDS + DMSO combined with local drainage and wound care, the patient experienced rapid symptomatic relief, progressive wound healing and restoration of detectable distal blood flow, enabling limb salvage.
• The temporal association and the magnitude of clinical change after starting CDS + DMSO in a case where conventional care had been judged ineffective support a clinically meaningful positive outcome for this patient.

Limitations

• Single case report without controls.
• No detailed, objective serial vascular measures provided (e.g., ankle-brachial index, quantitative Doppler, transcutaneous oxygen pressures).
• Dosing, exact administration schedule, concurrent systemic antibiotics or other therapies, and glycemic control details were not available.
• Causality cannot be definitively established; drainage and comprehensive local care, improved metabolic control or natural healing may have contributed.

Conclusion

• In this elderly diabetic patient with an infected plantar ulcer and critical reduction of distal perfusion initially considered unsalvageable by hospital vascular teams, adjunctive CDS + DMSO therapy was followed by rapid clinical improvement, progressive wound healing and recovery of distal perfusion, avoiding the amputative outcome recommended earlier. This favorable single-case result suggests potential benefit of CDS + DMSO in selected refractory limb infections/ischemia but underscores the need for standardized protocols, complete reporting and controlled clinical studies to confirm efficacy and safety.

Today 15 Jan ’09. I’ve decided to try Jim Humble’s MMS for a variety of ailments and condition that I have – and of course want to get rid of. The aim here is to record progress of the treatment and see if there’s any noticeable differences throughout the coming weeks and months. I’m not going to bore you with the details of MMS but there’s ample information out there for users.

In short however, MMS kills all pathogens, virus (including HIV), all bacteria, all fungus and all parasites – including malaria – inside the body by exposing them to a mineral called chlorine dioxide. The guy that invented the protocol, Jim Humble, claims to have cured 75,000 people with malaria – probably more now. Also controversially, claims MMS will cure AIDS and cancer. This video explains all you need to know about this compound that has set internet forums alight with nothing but positive comments from other users.

I’m a male 35 years of age, smoke about 10–15 chemical free cigarettes a day (American Spirit), drink once or twice a week and eat healthy natural foods and organic where possible. I don’t drink tap water, in fact, I distill all my own water then add Celtic sea salt and trace minerals to it which is the best water ever. I don’t do drugs and that includes pharmaceutical drugs of any kind – not even a painkiller for a headache. They don’t work anyway.

I don’t get colds or flu since taking olive leaf extract daily for over a year now. But these chronic conditions listed here are due for removal from my life.

Starting Today

Here’s my list of non life threatening ailments – but certainly life debilitating.

1. Pilonidal cyst on my left buttock cleft.
After developing this thing about 10 years ago I’ve had various surgery to get rid of it and it keeps coming back. I get a daily and constant stream of pus coming out of it that smells terrible (a sign of infection). These have spread all about my groin region and are beginning to take over forming little sacs of pus that discharge daily.

The doctor I originally saw for this treatment said that the only option is to remove all of the infected skin in the groin region (like the shape of a pair of speedos). This I could not accept and then went into denial over the whole thing.

2. Gluten intolerance leading to heart palpitations for up to 4 hours after eating bread/pasta etc.

3. A verruca on my right foot that’s been there about a year.

4. Baldness.
Receding hairline which stopped progressing in the past 2 years.

5. Mercury tooth fillings.

6. Fungal infection on the ear for about a year.

7. Tinnitus ringing in the ears.

17 Jan ’09

I’ve started the protocol yesterday – 1 drop MMS mixed with 5 drops citric acid.

Already I feel like I’ve got cotton wool in my head. Similar to a herxheimer reaction I had when taking colloidal silver last year. I’m also tired but that might be due to staying out until 6am the night before.

The MMS tastes like a mouthful of public swimming pool water.

I burp sometimes and the taste is chlorinated. I’m just going to stay at 1 drop today and see how the cotton wool feeling goes.

18 Jan ’09

Still on 1 drop but cotton wool head starting to subside.

Noticed some small shrinkage in a cyst on the inside of my leg.

Also noticed when I take a drag of a cigarette I can taste chlorine dioxide which suggests the stuff is reacting with smoke in my lungs.

Bought apple juice to mask the taste of the ‘public swimming pool’ as suggested by Jim and yes – he’s correct – no taste with apple juice.

19 Jan ’09

Day 3 – started 2 drops.

Sinus/cyst on left side of my scrotum about half the size it was.
Cyst on my backside down about 30%.

Also noticed the foul stench of pus discharge has vanished. Instead of smelling like a dead rat I notice a faint chlorine smell.

Dry skin on my scrotum (psoriasis-like condition) reduced about 90%.

Urination increased – good sign toxins leaving body.

20 Jan ’09

3 drops today.
Got nausea big time until I ate an apple then it went away in 10 minutes.

21 Jan ’09

4 drops today.
Diarrhea kicked in but no stomach cramps.

Note to self: think twice before letting off an indiscriminate fart.

Cysts reduced another ~5%.

22 Jan ’09

5 drops today.

Had diarrhea and unfortunately shit myself at home much to the amusement of my girlfriend.

But nausea has stopped which is reassuring.

Cyst on back about 70% of original size.

Pus discharge about 30% of what it once was.

Considering applying MMS topically with DMSO.

23 Jan ’09

Like a baby’s bottom.

Psoriasis on elbows – gone. After having it for about 5 years.

Now on 6 drops today and no nausea or diarrhea.

Front cyst reduced swelling and limited pus discharge.

27 Jan ’09

Apologies for missing a few days – I’ve been away.

Now on 8 drops per day with no nausea.

Diarrhea occasional but manageable.

Energy higher and head clearer.

Cyst less discharge but size not reduced further yet.

Recommended MMS to a friend with acne and another with IBS.

Also noticed when inhaling chlorine dioxide smell I had no cigarette cravings that night. Possibly coincidence but interesting.

31 Jan ’09

Tested the cigarette theory.

Lasted about 50% longer without craving a cigarette at work.

Still uncertain if coincidence.

Now on 12 drops – nausea and diarrhea returning.

2 Feb ’09

Realized earlier nicotine theory was incorrect.

Nicotine is an alkaloid and MMS targets acidic environments.

Dropped dosage from 13 drops back to 9 drops due to stomach upset.

11 Nov ’09

The long pause.

Stopped MMS mainly because the taste is like swimming pool cleaner.

Now restarting with a strategy to tolerate it.

Tricks discovered:

• Mix with real ginger beer
• Hold nose while drinking
• Rinse mouth afterwards with ginger ale or mouthwash
• Trick 2 works best.

First, some background: deep single plantar wart on one of the soles of my feet.

Tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it, including:

• Starting with the Dr. Scholl’s plantar wart removal pads. Little did I know at the time, this had basically a 0% chance of working.
• Went to the podiatrist about 10 times. Had all manner of unsuccessful treatments, including: beetle juice (multiple times), targeted laser (multiple times), surgical removal, and perhaps a few more that I forget. Ended with the doctor advising the wart was likely not going to go away, and I would have to live with it.

Only one treatment was left in my case, and that was to push the wart deeper into the body in the hopes it would recognize it and start fighting it off. I was not very keen on this idea, as I had read online it was hit and miss.

• Taking things into my own hands, I had a compound chemist make some strong salicylic acid, and applied daily for about a month. Managed to get right down to the actual wart (you can tell when you get there) and kept on applying. This didn’t work.
• Next started freezing the wart with direct industrial freeze spray for about 60 seconds (very painful). Did this for about a month, which also didn’t work!!

It was then that I started reading about MMS. For context, by this time I had the wart for about 7 years.

There are two things I started doing, which I believe both contributed to finally the wart disappearing on its own.

1. Applying MMS (1.5 mL / 1.5 mL of sodium chlorite / hydrochloric acid) with a Q-tip to the area daily after a shower.
2. Taking 25 mg of zinc picolinate daily.

After doing this for about a month, my deep plantar wart is completely gone. No gross black blood vessels, smooth skin with foot lines visible over the area.

Thank goodness I’m done with that.

Heard about Jim Humble and MMS on a webcast in April 2020, during that crazy year for all of us. Ordered some and started taking within hours of getting it out of mailbox.

Have had PF since 1989, and progressively kept getting worse with age and having children. Within 3 days of taking 3 drops with 3 drops activator, my heels stopped hurting almost 100%.

I continued taking the 3 and 3 drops for 5 weeks, 5 or 6 days a week. Stopped after that, because life, and almost 2 years later I still don’t have any symptoms regularly. I play sand volleyball weekly. My foot Dr. told me I should probably stop, that it was making it worse. I tried custom orthotics, they worked for a few months.

If I feel a flare up, I take doses for a day or 2 and POOF, gone again. Purchased another round of bottles for -just in case-. Will continue to take. It was a game changer.

The successes we’ve seen so far have been much with smaller things, but I’ll share them with you.

My youngest daughter had a large plantar wart on the sole of her foot, and after treating it with MMS for one week, it turned black and fell off. We’re both delighted!

Also, when the MMS arrived, my eldest daughter had been home on and off quite a bit with nausea and headaches over the previous two months. After four days on MMS it cleared up and hasn’t been back.

And as for me, I’ve had a very painful sore in my right ear for over a year now. After one single topical application of the MMS, it was gone the next morning. Quite unbelievable!

So that’s really exciting.

My son has had plantar warts for almost 2 years and has done every treatment known to man including shooting beetle juice into his foot and living with the massive blisters to only have them spread more.  My mother asked my son to try mms on his warts and he said he was going to continue doing what his doctor told him and to schedule surgery.  This surgery required a special tool that the doctor had to order and so he had to wait for that tool to come in.  While waiting, my mom said she was just going to pray.  Well, the tool after nearly two months had still not arrived and my son was home from college at the same time my mother was visiting and I asked him to just try MMS since he cannot have the surgery anyhow.  He agreed and started to apply the full solution directly to his warts (after cutting away all callouses)  and even after the   first treatment he said ‘that’s weird, they look a bit darker’.  After only 5 days one scraped off and the largest one (almost the size of a dime) lost that hard knot that was keeping it alive.  After 7 days, my son said they are done.  We are going to cancel surgery and my mom gave praise to God that he would orchestrate this matter in such a way.     Melodie Smith

I just wanted to let you know that my son (studying & working at an ayhuaska retreat in the Amazon jungle of Peru) has had great success helping his native shaman teacher (maestro) who has been suffering with Tuberculosis. I have no other details except that he said, ‘…the stuff is amazing and you are really helping to change the world by helping my maestro.’ Update – It appears that my son is finally free of the life-threatening blood nematodes. This is due at least in part to the CDS, combined with Amazon jungle plant remedies. Doctors in the US could offer him no effective medical treatment and no hope for a full recovery, so he went to the jungles of Peru.

MMS has been a godsend and helped in many ways over the years. I’ve used it to treat hot spots on our dog, making a spray bottle to use topically and in her drinking water. The poor dog has struggled with allergies and was in a vicious cycle of antibiotics, steroids, and antihistamines. Since using the skin protocols and adding to her water her skin rarely has any more issues. Have used it to treat plantar warts which nothing else would get rid of, using it directly on the wart. When I went to visit my husband in Cuba, I brought it along with me – and so thankful I did! I happened to get a smoothie in the barrio and didn’t think to ask if bottled water had been used or not. I was so ill, I took the food poisoning protocol of 15 drops, waiting then 6 drops, waiting then another 6 drops. I threw up after the second dose, took my third dose and laid down to sleep. Felt SO much better after that nap, and had my appetite back. If I hadn’t had MMS, I think I would have been ill for days. We use it topically on bug bites. I don’t get sick and if I start feeling something coming on, I go for the 6 and 6. It’s my go to for when a headache happens (6 and 6 used.) I’ve taken the online course and have all the books, always so much to learn and I am SO grateful for the work you guys are doing. Thank you and bless you. Brooke
