Dimethyl sulfoxide is a real miracle weapon. The term means nothing to you? Then you should definitely stay here and read on!
Dimethyl sulfoxide or "DMSO" has been known for 150 years and has already led to excellent therapeutic success in humans. It was officially approved for a short time, but was taken off the market again due to its incredible success. Now it is experiencing a real comeback as an active ingredient.
DMSO has been used as a solvent in industry for a very long time. In addition, it has been approved for use in both animal and human medicine for more than 35 years. DMSO offers a versatile and comprehensive spectrum of effects - something that the pharmaceutical lobby naturally tries to conceal or even suppress.
help for self-help
DMSO can make a significant contribution to the body's ability to regenerate itself - it is not a remedy in the traditional sense, but rather supports the body's own self-healing powers. The substance has two special properties - among many others: Firstly, DMSO is a bipolar solvent, meaning it combines not only with water, but also with fats. Furthermore, it can be used extremely well as a carrier substance. This means that it can transport all substances previously dissolved in itself into human (and animal) cells.
This opens up completely new therapy methods and/or makes it possible to supplement existing ones. Since DMSO effortlessly penetrates organic substances and structures made of water, fats and carbohydrates, it immediately paves the way for medicinal substances and "carries" them to their actual destination. By comparison: other substances fail at the first natural barriers or cell barriers due to their fat and/or water solubility.
DMSO for cell regeneration
Often, acute emergency situations leave no other option than pharmaceutical medication. In this case, a combination with DMSO can make sense. Since DMSO transports the active ingredient directly into the cells, its overall effect is also stronger. Conversely, this means that the dosage can be significantly lower. This also means that potential side effects tend to be lower. This fact can open up new possibilities, especially in the treatment with cortisol, since long-term dosages in particular can be pushed below the limit - the so-called Cushing threshold. In the case of cortisone, DMSO can also strengthen the active ingredient by a factor of ten to ten thousand. Drastic side effects and damage to the body can thus be avoided by using a lower dosage.
Other positive properties of DMSO:
An impressive example of the effectiveness of DMSO comes from microbiology: Here it was possible to inhibit the growth of bacteria with a 35 percent solution (DMSO). But it can do even more:
DMSO has an antioxidant effect: it can capture and convert free radicals so that they can be easily excreted via the kidneys.
DMSO therefore also helps the body to detoxify cells and can, for example, reduce allergic reactions and fundamentally strengthen the immune system.
DMSO has an anti-inflammatory effect, helps with muscle and joint pain, and can promote concentration.
DMSO can be used to treat keloids (skin growths around scars): It promotes the regression of scar tissue and helps swelling to subside.
DMSO also accelerates wound healing and prevents hardening
The author and scientist Dr. Hartmut Fischer summarizes the various effects of DMSO as follows: DMSO can support the regeneration and reorganization of cells, or even lead to success, even in the case of serious tissue damage. It also protects the body preventively.
Also interesting: viruses and bacteria are too large to be transported by DMSO. Accordingly, only substances that can pass through the top layer of skin are carried into the body.
side effects?
There are no known medical side effects of DMSO. In fact, it is considered to be seven times safer than aspirin.
However, a non-medical and sometimes somewhat unpleasant "side effect" is the more or less strong odor that can develop, especially after (oral) DMSO use. This is (unfortunately) very reminiscent of a mixture of oysters and garlic. It is usually less noticeable to the user than to those around them, so appropriate precautions (chewing gum, etc.) should be considered. However, the unpleasant odor should disappear after about three days.
Good to know
Dimethyl sulfoxide was discovered in 1866. However, it was first used on the human body in the early 1960s. In 1965, DMSO was "taken off the market" by the American FDA through an immediate sales ban. A little less than ten years later - in 1973 - it was (re)approved for human medicine in Switzerland, and five years later - in 1978 - in Germany.
And: Around 11,000 scientific articles have already been published on the medical use of DMSO, and around 40,000 on its chemical properties - worldwide, in over 125 countries. So why does none of this make it into the daily reports and current discussions?
DMSO cannot be patented, so it is not financially interesting for the pharmaceutical industry. On the other hand, its outstanding effectiveness on a natural basis means it represents an extreme – freely available and cheaper – threat.
