Those of you who read my “Kissing Warts Goodbye” blog post of 08/14/2009 know that I got rid of a wart that had grown under a fingernail and that had been with me for about 45 years.
I used MMS to get rid of this wart. I had previously tried a number of “remedies” and none worked. The MMS did the trick in a couple of days.
Since then I have learned of a couple of improvements to the process.
The first is really simple: Use a 50% solution of the Citric Acid Activator that is used to activate the MMS, instead of the 10% solution previously recommended. The reason for this is simple: If you use a 10% solution of the Citric Acid Activator then you must mix it in a 1-to-5 ratio with the MMS. So you would use 5 drops of the Citric Acid Activator for each drop of MMS.
By using a 50% solution of the Citric Acid Activator instead of the 10% solution, you can mix using a 1-to-1 ratio. So you would mix 1 drop of the 50% Citric Acid Activator solution for each drop of MMS.
You still wait the 3 minutes for the MMS to be activated, just as you would if using a 10% solution.
The advantage is that you end up with a stronger, more concentrated solution of activated MMS. This does an even better job of kicking the wart’s butt – making it say “uncle” and leave.
Since most of the Citric Acid Activator that is available for purchase is mixed in a 10% solution, which has been the standard for years, you may have to hunt a bit to find a 50% solution of the Citric Acid Activator. Or you can mix your own from dry Citric Acid Activator powder.
In case you are looking for a source for 50% Citric Acid Activator, you can buy it from A2Z, using this link:
Once there, click on the Citric Acid link on the main page.
You can also buy the dry Citric Acid Activator powder link on that page. Mixing is simple: To make 10% Citric Acid Activator solution, dissolve the dry powder in distilled water, in a 1-to-9 ratio by volume. For example, dissolve 1 tablespoon of the dry powder in 9 tablespoons of the distilled water.
To make a 50% solution of the Citric Acid Activator, mix 1-to-1 by volume. For example, to make a few ounces of solution, dissolve 3 tablespoons of the dry powder in 3 tablespoons of distilled water.
Note that the 50% solution takes longer to dissolve than the 10% solution does. You may have to swirl it around for awhile. Or if you have an inert, non-metallic stirring rod, like a glass rod used to mix drinks, you can use that to stir it into complete solution a little faster.
The second improvement is to use DMSO, (chemical name: Dimethyl Sulfoxide; formula: CH3SO), with the MMS. This allows the activated MMS to penetrate deeper into the wart and to penetrate faster. The result is that it is much more potent in eradicating the virus that is causing the wart.
If you plan to use the DMSO, please read the safety points that relate to DMSO. I have used it safely for over 45 years. For most people it seems to be very safe. That is, as long as the safety points are followed. I list them at the end of this post.
Just using the 50% solution will improve the ability of the MMS to kill the wart. This more concentrated form of the activated MMS is much more powerful than that made with 10% citric acid activator. So it gives the wart far more grief.
Mixing the DMSO with the activated MMS allows the MMS to penetrate much more deeply into the wart, which makes it more effective.
You can generally buy DMSO in most health food stores. Due to the idiosyncrasies of the FDA, you may have to sign a form saying that you are using it as a solvent, or that you are not using it on a human being. You can also often find DMSO in feed stores, particularly in a rural area. (It is commonly used to treat joint injuries on race horses and other four-leggeds.)
If you use the mixture of MMS and DMSO to treat warts, consider applying it about every 24 hours for several days. That should do the trick. Also, to make it even more effective, if practical, you may carefully trim the hardened, dead skin that typically winds up on the top of most warts. Be careful not to trim down far enough to hit nerves and cause pain or bleeding – just the dead layer on top. This will further improve penetration and may make the wart go away sooner.
Here are the safety points for use of DMSO:
1. I purchase only pharmaceutical grade, unscented DMSO. I use the 99.9% strength DMSO.
2. I wash the area I intend to treat with Castile Soap before treating it. I use Dr. Bronner’s Unscented, Baby-Mild Castile Soap.
3. After washing the area with the Castile Soap and thoroughly rinsing it with water to remove any soap residue, I rinse the area one more time with distilled water. I allow it to air dry.
4. I paint on the DMSO and MMS mixture on with a glass rod that is like a swizzle stick. (I bought several inert glass stirring rods from a supplier of chemist’s glassware. Some professional bar suppliers also have these for sale.)
5. I allow the area treated with the DMSO and MMS mixture to air dry.
6. I avoid letting the area come in contact with anything that could be toxic for at least 4 hours.
Important things to know about DMSO: DMSO, (chemical name: Dimethyl Sulfoxide; formula: CH3SO), is a naturally-occurring solvent. (Don’t let the word solvent scare you – water is a solvent!) As a solvent, DMSO has some unusual properties: It very quickly penetrates the skin. It goes into the bloodstream and into any body tissue that is below the skin. In fact, it penetrates so well and so far that when I paint some on my knee, within a minute or so I can taste it on my tongue. (It has a garlic-like taste.)
DMSO not only penetrates the skin and goes into the farthest reaches of the body, but it also pulls in any substances it is in contact with, as well. So if I have some skin cream on my hand and I paint on some DMSO, it will pull in the skin cream, or at least some of the chemicals in the cream, with it. I most likely do not want that to happen, which is why I follow the careful pre-treatment cleaning steps outlined above.
Once the DMSO has been painted onto the skin, it leaves the skin hyper-permeable for up to 4 hours. So I am careful not to wear clothing that has synthetics or possibly toxic clothing dyes, over the area I treat.

I found this blog while searching through Google. I enjoyed your posts and have bookmarked several for a project I am working on. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks for your encouragement. If you let me know what your project is about, I may be able to offer more specific help. I have access to some rather extensive research resources. YOu can e-mail me if you want to keep the rest of this thread confidential.
How much dmso am I mixing with the mms? Do I have to mix the dmso with anything before or I’m just mixing pure dmso with mms? Also can I use lemon juice as my activator, if so how many drops of lemon juice to mms would you recommend.
For best results I recommend getting some of the 50% citric acid to activate your MMS. That way the activated MMS is more concentrated and will be more effective. That gets mixed in a one-to-one ratio. So, for example, put 2 drops of MMS into a small, clean glass. Add 2 drops of 50% citric acid activator and wait 3 minutes. Then, using the purest DMSO you can find, (I get the highest concentration I can from my local health food store; I make sure it is unscented – NEVER use scented DMSO), add 4 drops of DMSO swirl it around in the bottom of the glass to mix it all and immediately apply it. Time is important here. From the time you mix the DMSO it starts to cause the MMS to lose its power. Yet the DMSO is required to carry the activated MMS through the top layer of the skin and into the wart. So apply quickly.
If you combine the above details with the rest of the recommendations I have made in my blog posts on the subject, you should get results. It could take a week or two. I would apply once a day.
If you find that you have persistent warts that is a sign that your immune system is not working well and could lead to other problems. If this is the case, you may want to have a session with me to help you figure out what is wrong and what to do about it.
Please let me know if I can be of further help in any way.
From what you describe it does sound like your immune system is not functioning well. I would need to know a lot more about your overall health and background to be able to really help you. But here are some general recommendaitons I can offer:
I would not use DMSO that came in a plastic bottle. Because DMSO is a strong solvent, it is possible that it will dissolve chemicals from the plastic into itself. It can then pull them into your body, which is not a good idea.
DMSO sometimes does cause some minor skin irritaiton and it can cause some strong itching. So that is not unusual. To combat that, I get liquid, pure lanolin. I wait a full 8 hours after I have used the DMSO, then apply the lanolin. It is imiportant to wait as the DMSO renders the skin hyper-permeable for 4 to 8 hours after application. So you want to be very careful what you put on you skin. I would say nothing should be on the skin until the full 8 hours have elapsed.
I would also suggest that you get your vitmain D3 level checked. To strengthen your immune system you likely want it as close to the upper range as you can get.
You likely would do well to optimize your vitamin C and B-Complex levels, as well.
If you have a local practioner who knows how to use natural means to build up the immune system, working with them would be smart.
To your health!

Warts are so hideous…What ever it takes to get rid of them.
I agree, warts are awful. Not only are they ugly, but they can actually interfere with things. The one I had under a fingernail was a real problem for me since I am a guitarist. I was very happy to finally get rid of it and not have it come back.
But there is one “good quality” that I can attribute to warts: In most cases if one has a propensity to get warts, or if warts that are eradicated keep coming back, then that is a sure sign that one’s immune system is not working well and needs help. I would rather find out from something that is a nuisance such as a wart, than by winding up with something that is life-threatening such as a highly dangerous cancer. So warts can be a useful signal that our body needs our help.
Read your comments about warts that return. I have one on the joint of a finger on one hand that I have use OTC medicines on 3 or 4 times over the last 30 years. The last time was about 18 months ago. The medicine only removed about 90% of the ‘little demon”; it is back now and is larger than before.
Like most people, I want gone permanently . Recently use 70% DMSO with 30% Aloe on a recently sprained wrist. Major relief obtained after only 3 days use-amazing because I sprained the same wrist 10-12 years ago and it was sore for nearly 3 years!!!
Would you recommend using this formulation on the wart or the one above?
Based on what you have described, my opinion is that you really are encountering 2 problems, not just 1: One problem is the wart, itself. But the underlying problem that may be more important to pay attention to is that your immune system does not seem to be doing its job. If it were, the wart would not keep coming back. One of the jobs of the immune system is to control and restrain the viruses that replicate and cause warts. So if I were you I would find out what is suppressing your immune system and correct that problem. I am available to help you with that.
I do not think your formula for fixing up your sprained wrist is likely to cause the wart to go away. I prefer the protocol of mixing DMSO and activated MMS, as described in this blog post. It is much more likely to be effective at killing off the viruses. It is also safer. There are potential problems with pulling aloe vera gel directly through the skin and into the blood stream, which is what will happen if you mix it with DMSO and apply it. First off, do you know the purity of the aloe vera you are using? Secondly, although aloe vera is safe for topical use and even for drinking, I am not so sure I would want it pulled into my blood stream. That is something where more research might be called for. In general, anytime you use DMSO, it is very important to know what you are doing and to be cautious about what you mix it with, or what the skin is exposed to within 4 to 6 hours following application. That is approximatley how long the treated skin remains hyper-permeable.
I would also point out that although your approach to fixing up your sprained wrist worked, there are better ways. Combining DMSO with a very high quality MSM is much more effective and safer. If you want the full protocol for that e-mail me at jeff@myhealthoptimizer.com and request it.
To your health!
