I had a painful tooth abscess that was making it impossible for me to sleep. Desperate for relief, I decided to try a mixture of 25 drops of chlorine dioxide (CDS) and 10 drops of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). I swished the mixture around my mouth for a few minutes before swallowing it and also rubbed a small amount of DMSO onto my aching jaw. I repeated this process hourly and by the third dose, the pain had completely disappeared. I continued taking the mixture about three times a day for the next three days, and the abscess was completely gone. I was so relieved that I didn’t need to see a dentist or take any antibiotics.
