DMSO-The King Antioxidant
..."DMSO has a myriad of applications in medicine. Some are so dramatically effective that the concept of such therapy just boggles the mind!"...
This cost effective king of antioxidants has so many non toxic applications that it boggles the mind. With a few exceptions, such as a solution for organ preservation, the FDA has continued to block it's full potential to protect it's pharma cronies.
DMSO not only treats but in many cases cures.
Naturally, this product is banned from health food stores even though it is essentially non toxic - certainly far far less than aspirin and many food products including salt. Try swallowing a tablespoon of salt some time! A method once used to kill by the Chinese I belive...
However, 70% DMSO is available from veterinary supply sources where it is used extensively.
Cost effective vitamin and mineral supplementation is used extensively on animals as it is recognized to be essential since, at least, the early 1900s. Suspect no one will pay mega bucks to treat animals with mostly contrived and toxic patented substances that us humans are, conned into, and so eager to pay in the name of never ending mostly sham research...

DMSO Therapy
Introduction
This is a chemical productcalled dimethyl sulfoxidethat has been around a long time but is totally strange to the orthodox medical community. It has been used for years by athletes to help them with painful muscles and joints.
DMSO works in a number of ways, but these are entirely new to therapeutic principles. This is not a drug in the usual sense, since a drug treats disease symptoms. DMSO treats altered cellular function or damaged cells. The cells become healed and restored by changing and stabilizing the "water structure within the cell. It exerts its effects on biological systems by changing the liquid structure of water. Therefore, changes occur in protein and other molecules. These changes are physical-chemical in nature and difficult to understand without a degree in physics.
The fact remains that these products work to restore function in illnesses like arthritis and immune system disease, and they are very helpful in acute inflammatory pain syndromes.
What It Does
DMSO tends to build up white blood cells and increase immune production of MIF (migration inhibitory factors) of macrophages. Thus, the immune system is made more effective by allowing macrophages to move more quickly. Thus DMSO modulates lymphocytes, and it therefore reactivates the production of MIF. It also diminishes allergic reactions by unfolding the cell membrane and making more cell receptor sites available to attachment by specific antigens.
The modulating effect of DMSO on lymphocytes also tends to increase the production of lymphokines (chemical immune cell mediators) such as interferon. It potentiates cell mediated immunity and can be effective in multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, cancer, etc.
What Are Its Major Therapeutic Properties?
* It blocks pain by interrupting conduction in the small c-fibers, the non-myelinating nerve fibers.
* It is anti-inflammatory.
* It is anti bacterial, fungal and viral.
* It transports all molecules (drugs, etc.) across cell membranes.
* It reduces the incidence of platelet thrombi (clots in vessels).
* It effects cardiac contractility by inhibiting calcium to reduce the workload of the heart.
* It is a vasodilator, probably related to histamine release in the cells and to prostaglandin inhibition.
* It softens collagen.
* It is a scavenger of the hydroxyl free radical.
* It stimulates the immune system.
* It is a potent diuretic.
* It increases interferon formation.
* It stimulates wound healing.
Summary
DMSO has certain unique physiological characteristics which stem from its molecular makeup:
* It is a simple small molecule with unusual properties.
* An exothermic reaction occurs when DMSO is diluted with water (heat is generated).
* Hydroxyl radicals (OH), which are free radicals (oxidants), are ubiquitous and highly injurious to cellsand thus health. DMSO neutralizes (quenches) these free radicals. It is a free radical scavenger!
* DMSO substitutes for water in the living cellit can destroy intracellular free radicals. No other antioxidant can do that.
* DMSO increases the permeability of cell membranes yielding a flushing effect of toxins from intracellular location to extracellular.
* It is an antidote to allergic reactions.
* It can penetrate any cell wall; thus it can get where most chemicals can't.
* It has a very low index of any toxicity.
* Allergic reactions to DMSO can occur but they are uncommon.
* DMSO has a myriad of applications in medicine. Some are so dramatically effective that the concept of such therapy just boggles the mind!

i was about to go for hemmoroid operation in my 23 year. a friend told me he had the operation and the guy in the bed beside him had a double coronary bypass and got out the hospital 2 weeks before him. I had been reading Dr Stanley jacobs book and it mentioned some succsess with hemmorroids. After suffering through desensitizing suppositories and horror stories i took the leap. I applied dmso to a clean cloth (i think) and applied to affected area. In a moment i began makibg comments to my wife like jeez this is warm,then jeez maybe i shouldena done that with moaning. Well to make a long story short i went from walking like a duck to being able to dance in 15 minutes. that was 24 years ago and i cancelled the surgery and been fine since having had only mild flair ups after too much booze. good luck

At 56 with very stiff knees, I sought relief. I put 2 parts DMSO to 1 part distilled water, it becomes hot water. After cleaning my legs and knees, I liberally applied, with cotton balls the solution to front and back of my knees. In about 20 minutes, I could sit with my legs crossed, in the Indian position. First time in 20 years. Also put all over my hands and fingers, it helps. I bought it at Richards Whole Foods, in SW Fl.

It says sold only as a solvent because that is the only legal use to sell it for in the U.S. (Not so in Europe and other places around the world.) I buy it in a gel 70% with 30% distilled water from iherb.com.

To all asking ? about dmso- Yes you can take it orally even at 99.85 (the purest form side effect once you get past the sulfur taste your body will emit a strong garlic vegetable smell) this will last approx. 1-2 days. Cancer Aids mix with a herb or a herbal formula for your problem. Example chapparal& burdock root for Cancer boil wpurified water add 1 oz. to 24-32 oz. of cooled tea only sweeten whoney LOVE 2 EVERYONE THE "DOC"..........peace!

Posted by: Carol on May 31, 2011 01:09 AM
Dear Betty Hall,
It seems that most of your problems (high blood pressure. acid relux, arthritis, high cholestrol, and diabetese are due to your overweight. If you solve that problem the others should also go away.
Overweight, contrary to what most say, is primarily a problem of nutrient deficiency. Your body isn't being supplied with sufficient nutrients so you over eat to compensate. Your real problem is probably a poor functioning liver, which is no longer capable of extracting sufficient nutrients from the foods you eat. That combined with the lack of nutrients in most American diets, and you have your current condition.
I would strongly recommend a liver and colon detoxification program, along with juicing, and a change of diet to primarily vegetables and fruits.
