DMSO is an effective pain killer, blocking nerve conduction fibers that produce pain. It reduces inflammation and swelling by reducing inflammatory chemicals. It improves blood supply to an area of injury by dilating blood vessels, increasing the delivery of oxygen, and reducing blood platelet stickiness. It stimulates healing, which is a key to its usefulness in any condition.
DMSO is not only a microbicide in its own right, but it is also highly effective in carrying other microbicides into inaccessible places and penetrating biofilms in which microbes are hiding. It is especially effective against mycoplasmas. Rub it onto the skin over infected areas. You may also add Lugol’s solution, non-acidified MMS, hydrogen peroxide, magnesium chloride, and other water-soluble remedies, but not kerosene, gum turpentine, essential oils, or oil-soluble remedies. For rubbing onto the skin over infected areas, dilute DMSO to 50-70%. It is an effective pain reliever and also eliminates microbes from the skin, joints, sinuses, inner ear, bones, infected roots of teeth, jawbones, and cavitations, and may stop fungus-induced hair loss.
The minimum purity of DMSO should be 99%. A suitable combined oral and topical daily amount with chronic diseases maybe 20 to 30 ml of diluted DMSO in divided doses.
DMSO (CH3)2SO is a natural substance derived from wood pulp. It is generated during the normal decomposition of plants and, therefore, is present in low concentrations in many foods. DMSO is an antioxidant. By taking up oxygen, it is converted into Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
There is a very long list of health benefits from using DMSO. The main ones are:
It is an all-around microbicide effective against bacteria, fungi, mycoplasmas and viruses.
It improves the immune system and reduces allergies.
It is strongly anti-inflammatory with good antioxidant properties
It blocks pain when rubbed onto affected muscles or joints.
It improves blood circulation by inhibiting the formation of blood clots and hypercoagulation.
It dissolves newly formed blood clots.
It dilates blood vessels and improves the function of the heart.
It efficiently transports molecules across cell membranes and moves through the blood-brain barrier.
It improves connective tissue, softens collagen, and stimulates wound healing.
It is a potent diuretic and very effective with chronic bladder inflammation/cystitis.
It can dissolve blood clots and prevent damage after a stroke. It improves skin conditions such as psoriasis and scleroderma and is effective with autoimmune diseases, arthritis, ulcers, cystitis, and other inflammatory conditions. With diabetes, it can improve insulin control and blood circulation. Also, eye problems have been successfully treated with DMSO, including macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, and cataracts, sometimes just with oral use but sometimes with added remedies such as eye drops.
With cancer, it zooms explicitly in on cancer cells and can be used to carry remedies along, which is suitable for treating brain tumors that are otherwise difficult to reach. It is also beneficial with other cancers such as breast and prostate, leukemia, and lymphomas. Relatively weak (2%) solutions of DMSO were killing leukemia cells and, with the addition of suitable remedies, induced a variety of cancer cells to become normal cells. DMSO has been shown to protect against radiation damage, especially with cancer treatment.
Most of the studies discussing DMSO’s interactions with the heart regard its ability to protect it from permanent ischemia-reperfusion injuries (e.g., heart attacks). In a 2012 study, rat hearts had their blood supply cut off for 30 minutes and then were reperfused for 120 minutes. DMSO being given beforehand reduced the resulting tissue necrosis (death). A 1987 study found that DMSO increased the heart’s cardiac output during a heart attack.
A rat study found that DMSO prevented ischemia-reperfusion injuries from causing severe contractures in heart cells and the formation of contraction bands, and this seemed to be linked to DMSO reducing the oxygen-induced creatine kinase release from cells.
A key component of regenerative medicine is using stem cells (which have the potential to differentiate into many different cells) to replace damaged tissues (particularly those within critical organs). DMSO was shown to cause stem cells to differentiate into heart cells.
DMSO was found to prevent heart damage caused by dietary copper deficiency.
DMSO For Vascular Health
DMSO provides a variety of anti-clotting activities that are similar to (but eclipse) the effects of aspirin and, unlike aspirin, does not have any associated adverse effects DMSO is remarkably effective at eliminating circulatory obstructions (e.g., clots).
A leading DMSO researcher found that 50% of patients with Raynaud’s syndrome had their symptoms eliminated with DMSO and that thrombophlebitis responds excellently to DMSO.
Likewise, DMSO has been shown to improve diabetic circulatory impairments such as peripheral neuropathy or diabetic ulcers (where one study of hundreds of patients reported over a 94% treatment success rate) and prevent future amputations.
DMSO (topically and especially intravenously) is also quite helpful for varicose veins, in some cases improving the varicose veins within minutes and having the wiggly veins not reappear for months, which has been hypothesized to result from DMSO strengthening the vessel walls and their tone alongside generally improving venous and capillary circulation. Likewise, a study of 67 patients with varicose ulcers (39 females and 28 males) found they had a remarkable response to DMSO (even chronic ulcers that had been present for years).
