Oral intake is the other primary form of DMSO use. As to its safety, Dr Stanley Jacob, who pioneered the medical use of DMSO, has taken an ounce (approximately 29 ml) of it orally every day for more than 40 years. The only side-effect seems to be that he has not been sick in years.

Others have taken even higher doses for weeks or months. DMSO is effective in heart attacks and angina; prompt use of it in heart attacks has been credited with preventing damage to heart muscle, but relatively high doses should be used. Dr Morton Walker suggested 2 grams per kilogram of body weight in treating heart attacks.

Except for emergencies, it is always best to start with low doses, such as half a teaspoon in a drink, and increase gradually to the intended maximum or until there is some unexplained reaction. Generally effective healing methods tend to induce some reaction, be it microbial die-off effects, skin eruptions, or gastrointestinal effects, such as diarrhea. In such a case, temporarily cut back and gradually increase again when the reaction subsides.

A suitable daily maximum intake of chronic diseases maybe 20 to 30 ml in divided doses, and it is good to take it in a drink with specific supplements to enhance their absorption. As with all supplements, It is also good not to remain at the same dose for a long time but slowly cycle up and down between a maximum and a minimum level. Finally, as long as there are problems in specific body parts, topical applications are preferred in addition to oral applications.

While DMSO is widely used in most countries as a medical drug, in the USA, it is only approved for the treatment of interstitial cystitis. In Australia, DMSO cannot be used for treating humans, but it can be sold and used for veterinary purposes and as a solvent.

Only purified and properly diluted DMSO should be used. When you dilute a pure DMSO solution, always do it in distilled water. When it is applied, the skin site and the applying hand should be thoroughly cleaned before application. This is of utmost importance as DMSO’s properties allow contaminants to be absorbed through the skin and transported into the bloodstream.

Sublingual Intake

I have been dosing DMSO like I am doing chlorine dioxide, spraying it into my mouth and holding it for a minute, then adding water to my mouth, holding a little more than swallowing. You will get to feel the strong impact of your medicine. I am taking 20 sprays of a fifty percent solution and repeat the dose after a few minutes.

Conclusion

If you search for DMSO on the U.S. National Library of Medicine (pubmed.gov), you’ll get almost 30,000 indexed results, making it one of the most studied compounds of our time. DMSO is a common chemical that can be manufactured cheaply. No drug company can get an exclusive patent since it is a natural compound. So, the medical-industrial complex ensures doctors stay as far away as possible from this basic and helpful substance.
