The Remarkable History and Safety of DMSO. Please share your experiences with DMSO with the readers here! By A Midwestern Doctor (10/12/24)
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) has long been blacklisted by the medical establishment and FDA because of politics and economics. But existing evidence shows it works and is safe.
This article:
Documents the existing safety and toxicology data on DMSO (very safe and non-toxic for most applications).
Provides a place where those who have used DMSO can post their experiences.
Among other things, DMSO has been used successfully for:
Cancer
Circulatory disorders: e.g., Reynaud’s and varicose veins.
Neurological disorders: e.g., Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis or dementia.
Pain: Patients who have suffered chronic pain for decades (from many different causes) get their lives back.
Healing:
Injuries: e.g., sports injuries, traumatic impacts
Chronic musculoskeletal problems: e.g., spine and shoulder issues
Wounds: e.g., burns or surgical incisions
Chronic rheumatic conditions: e.g., arthritis
Complex protein disorders: e.g., amyloidosis
Down Syndrome

Conclusion
DMSO is far more effective than NSAIDS (routinely used for many musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions that DMSO treats)
DMSO is much safer than NSAIDS. DMSO has not been linked to a single death. NSAIDS kill tens of thousands of Americans each year and seriously injure far more.
Thanks to bad publicity, many sincerely (and incorrectly) believe DMSO is a deadly poison. Research shows that it is not poison at all.
DMSO denigration is similar to that experienced by ivermectin—something the FDA also successfully (and incorrectly) rebranded as snake oil that only worked in horses but not humans.

Note from AMD:
One of the things I consider to be particularly tragic with DMSO is how much cruel and completely unnecessary animal testing was done to refute the FDA’s unwavering belief DMSO was dangerous.
For example to quote Stanley Jacob [who pioneered the use of DMSO]:
“DMSO has been responsible for the unnecessary death of more laboratory animals than any other drug in the history of medicine.”
Yet despite all those deaths (which resulted from massive doses orders of magnitude greater than what any human would ever take), since they demonstrated DMSO’s incredible safety and thus didn’t show what the FDA wanted, they were ignored—a situation not that different from how both the FDA and CDC have adamantly refused to consider the tsunami of evidence the COVID vaccines are incredibly dangerous and meet every possible criteria for an emergency withdrawal from the market. ~A Midwestern Doctor
