DMSO - Early Health Innovators and DMSO. Key lessons for the present from the history of DMSO. By A Midwestern Doctor (04/23/26)

Early health innovators, especially chemist Robert Herschler and surgeon Stanley Jacob, rediscovered DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) in the 1950s as a penetrating solvent with rapid medical benefits for pain, inflammation, burns, sprains, arthritis, and drug delivery.

  • Hailed as a wonder drug after trials on 37,000 people, DMSO was adopted quickly.

  • FDA suppressed DMSO in 1965 over flawed safety concerns, halting research despite its low cost, safety, and efficacy, much like it has halted other suppressed therapies.

  • Innovations like DMSO spread via observability and word-of-mouth but face regulatory overreach.

  • AMD predicts DMSO's resurgence amid eroding institutional trust.
