Help for HS

    Hello Everyone ~

    I just joined the group and hope that I can get more information or uncover more rabbit trails to follow in hopes of finding a solution. I also understand that I will not be getting medical advice and apologize in advance if my post here appears that way.

    My daughter suffers with Hidradenitis Supprativa (HS), but is otherwise quite healthy.

    What is HS? My research shows:

    A. Hidradenitis Supprativa (HS):

    – is a chronic inflammatory disease/condition of skin

    – causes are unknown and treatment options are designed to minimize the pain or undergo
    surgical removal with a high risk recurrence and an increase in severity.

    B. Chronic Inflammation:

    – Inflammation is the body’s way of responding to threats such as infection. But sometimes the
    body’s inflammatory response can go haywire, attacking healthy, non-diseased tissues.

    – It is believed that the immune system may play a role in inflammatory diseases.

    – There are a wide variety of conditions that cause ongoing inflammation in the body – called
    chronic inflammatory diseases.

    C. What are potential causes of chronic inflammatory disease?

    – Autoimmune diseases/disorders

    D. Causes of autoimmune disorders:

    – genetics

    – environmental

    – stress

    – chemical exposure

    – viral and bacterial infections are recognized as potential triggers or contributors to the
    development of autoimmune diseases. These infections can trigger an immune response
    that, in susceptible individuals, may mistakenly target the body’s own tissues, leading to
    autoimmune disorders.

    I can pretty much rule out 4 of the 5 (believed to be) causes of autoimmune disorders.

    In conclusion this led me to consider – Ivermectin, which is simple terms is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic drug with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor effects.

    My thoughts were to try IVM, since it is safe, at a prophylaxis dose and see if there were positive results. I think there may also be the need for additional/supplemental considerations, for example D3 and/or IVM paste or cream.

    If anyone has an opinion, thought, suggestion or information that may be useful, it would certainly be appreciated.

    You’re very welcome to the forum 4cphut. There are a lot of folks who generously share their experience and thoughts. I’m sure there’ll be lots of thoughts on your ivermectin thoughts forthcoming.

    Just as additional info on ivermectin you can always find what’s been mentioned in the past on ivermectin in the forum with this search – https://imahealth.org/forums/?s=ivermectin&bp_search=1&view=content

    and on the main website with this search – https://imahealth.org/?s=ivermectin&id=6377

    All the best with the research and welcome to the forum again.

      Thanks so much!
      There is a lot here to sift through, that is for certain.

    My 82 yo mother has lung cancer and we have been using 444 fenbendazole & Ivermectin daily for the last month along with many other natural treatments like bitter apricot kernels & Rick Simpson oil.

    I have really been digging into DMSO and we have been experimenting with both combining it with castor oil packs and drinking a teaspoon of it with pure aloe vera juice.

    Reading your post made me think that DMSO might also be a good place to start along with Ivermectin since it intensifies the effects of anything that it’s taken with.

    I just learned about Chlorine Dioxide In Treating Human Diseases. Perhaps it could be a treatment worth consideing:

      👍 Seems like the data is building.

    Other thoughts- Is she overweight? What is her A1c, fasting insulin? What does she eat? Optimizing Vitamin D levels is my broken record response always. Of course with K2 and Magnesium. And along that line-is she having at least one formed bowel movement every single day? Start with Mg citrate if not. Pooping is a way to eliminate toxins, waste, etc. Movement, time outside first thing in the morning, deep breathing, etc. Start with the basics.

    Get 70% DMSO with Aloevera gel. In Canada you can get this at https://www.dmsocanada.com/ but I am sure that there are also good sources in the US. This will likely fix the “incurable” HS (at least to a large degree). Apply only a thin film of this gel and make sure there is nothing else on the skin (no lotion, no soap, etc..) Test first a small spot. Let us know how it worked out.

      I am no doctor, but an engineer.

      I am guessing that applying DMSO topically could, to only a small degree, help that localized area. I believe this is more systemic(again, guessing!) based on the description and also believe that the body is likely purging toxins or attempting to. Toxins are purges, as I understand it through the lymph system, skin, and the intestines– the gut. So, the recommendation for detoxing above(chlorine dioxide and doing more #2’s per week) is likely more effective. It could be that DMSO taken internally(pharma grade only, mixed with water, <1 tsp in a glass) may be a more “systemic” solution.

    I suggest you contact a doctor, preferably one through IMA, and most beneficially Dr Kory’s practice facilitated through IMA. You really need expert guidance and are just going to have to pay for it. Doing your research here to be prepared is great though. Best of luck.

    There is a document https://bioelecmed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42234-025-00167-8 which asserts that spike protein can get jammed in receptors in the body, the same receptors that nicotine acts upon. Page 5 of the document explains how autoimmune diseases of all types can ensue from this jamming. There is a group of people who have been investigating and experimenting with relieving symptoms https://linktr.ee/thenicotinetest . In conversation with family this past weekend I heard that people who have been taking Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for autoimmune conditions are able to stop the LDN after nicotine treatment (I don’t have a reference for this statement yet). I’m not a person in the medical industry but I am a person with autoimmune that started after being vaccinated and I’m about to give nicotine patches a try for a week or two. There appears to be a lot of evidence that seems to confirm what this paper states is the mechanism.

      I should explain a little more on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). It was discovered that the immune system is supported by Naltrexone back when they were doing AIDS research and some of their patients, ones who were on Naltrexone for drug dependence related issues, were doing better than others. As they decreased the dose of Naltrexone, tapering them off of it, they discovered that even at low doses they were doing better than others in the AIDS research. This discovery led to the use of LDN for autoimmune disorders. It tames overactive immune reactions. In the US the FDA only recognizes it as useful for drug dependence; and so, to get LDN you need a doctor and a compounding pharmacy that can put the low dose into capsules.

      LDN and Nicotine are the two autoimmune approaches I’m aware of and although Nicotine is OTC I would say you definitely want to work with a doctor since this disorder sounds like it affects the skin and one of the side effects with the nicotine I’ve read people sometimes get is called “Herx” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarisch%E2%80%93Herxheimer_reaction .
