• DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a naturally occurring chemical that was synthesized in the laboratory in 1866 by Russian chemist Alexander Saytzeff. Widely studied since the 1950s, key discoveries include its cryoprotective properties (protecting cells from freezing damage) and its ability to penetrate skin and membranes without causing harm, which revolutionized drug delivery.
• DMSO is amphiphilic (soluble in water and fat), allowing it to transport nutrients, medications and even DNA through the skin. It has anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and antioxidant effects, making it a great alternative to NSAIDs.
• DMSO is effective for joint pain (arthritis, bursitis), burns, infections and radiation protection. It helps by boosting glutathione levels. It has been used in veterinary medicine for decades, particularly for treating horses, and shows promise for human applications.
• DMSO can be mixed with CBD oil, essential oils (e.g., wintergreen, peppermint), vitamins (e.g., vitamin C) and minerals (e.g., magnesium) for greater potency. It accelerates healing by improving absorption and targeting specific ailments like muscle pain or immune support.
• DMSO requires proper handling (use glass or specific plastics) and patch testing due to potential skin sensitivity. It may cause a temporary garlic-like odor on skin/breath but remains a safe, affordable and powerful natural remedy with vast medical potential.

In the realm of alternative medicine, few substances have garnered as much attention and controversy as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). This clear, colorless liquid is hailed as a miracle healer, and the book "Healing with DMSO: The Complete Guide to Safe and Natural Treatments for Managing Pain, Inflammation, and Other Chronic Ailments with Dimethyl Sulfoxide" by Amandha Dawn Vollmer is shedding light on its potential benefits.

DMSO was first synthesized in 1866 by Russian chemist Alexander Saytzeff. However, it wasn't until the 1950s that its remarkable properties began to be understood. British scientists discovered that DMSO could act as a cryoprotectant, preserving bone marrow and blood cells by preventing ice crystal damage.

This breakthrough opened up new possibilities in medicine, particularly in the field of organ transplantation. The real turning point came when chemist Robert Herschler, who was working for a paper company, found that DMSO could carry other substances through the skin. This discovery led to a collaboration with Dr. Stanley Jacob at the Oregon Health and Science University, who further demonstrated that DMSO could penetrate the skin and organ membranes without causing damage.

DMSO's unique properties make it a versatile tool in medicine. It is amphiphilic, meaning it is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to move freely through the bloodstream and penetrate cell membranes. This characteristic, combined with its powerful solvent properties, makes it an effective carrier for other molecules.

One of DMSO's most notable features is its transdermal ability – enabling it to deliver medications, nutrients and even DNA directly into the body. This opens exciting possibilities for a new generation of treatments that could be as simple as applying a cream.

DMSO's anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidant properties make it an excellent alternative to traditional medications like NSAIDs. Unlike many drugs that merely mask symptoms, DMSO supports the body's natural healing processes. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, burns and infections.

In veterinary medicine, DMSO has been a staple for decades, particularly in treating horses. For humans, it offers a range of benefits.

For instance, applying a DMSO solution can provide quick relief for joint pain by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. It can also speed up the healing process by enhancing cell regeneration and reducing scar tissue.

DMSO's antimicrobial properties make it effective against infections – whether they are skin infections, toothaches or sinus infections. Additionally, it can protect against radiation damage by increasing glutathione levels in the body, which helps neutralize free radicals caused by radiation. This makes it valuable for those undergoing radiation therapy or working in high-radiation environments.

DMSO's effectiveness can be amplified when combined with natural remedies. For example, blending DMSO with CBD oil can enhance the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of both substances. Similarly, combining DMSO with essential oils like wintergreen or peppermint can provide targeted relief for specific ailments.

DMSO also works well with vitamins and minerals. For instance, combining it with vitamin C can boost the immune system and aid in tissue repair. Using DMSO with magnesium can enhance its muscle-relaxing properties, making it effective for conditions like restless leg syndrome.

While DMSO is generally safe, it is crucial to use it correctly. Starting with a small amount and performing a patch test to check for sensitivity is recommended. Consulting with a healthcare professional before using DMSO is advised, especially for those on other medications.

DMSO can interact with certain materials, so it is best to use glass or specific types of plastic containers. Additionally, users should be aware of its odor, which can leave a garlic-like scent on the skin and breath, which some people find unpleasant. Despite its challenges, DMSO holds incredible promise as a natural, affordable and versatile substance with a wide range of applications.

As more research emerges, DMSO could become a staple in natural health and medicine. For those seeking a safe alternative to traditional medications or simply curious about DMSO, exploring its possibilities could be a worthwhile endeavor.
