DMSO Applied to Sore Wrist

So while in the midst of craving my morning coffee fix, I couldn't get the creamer opened!  What a catastrophe - yikes!

Calling my husband to the rescue, I asked him to use his manly strength to ply open the "should-be easy" screw on lid.  He tried and tried....and actually heard a "pop" in his wrist.  OUCH!  Over a plastic screw top.  I still don't know what was wrong with this lid, but we tried to open it with pliers and a monkey wrench with no luck, until finally I just cracked the lid so as to release the seal.

Anyway, two days went by with my husband complaining of wrist pain.  I finally convinced him to apply DMSO to it.  After all, athletes use it on injuries to enable them to get back into competitions faster.  Now, when I say convinced, it was never that he didn't believe in the advantages of DMSO, it is just taking the time to apply it.  Let's face it, it can leave a very unpleasant garlic-like taste in the mouth, the skin where it will be applied should absolutely be clean and it can leave a slightly oily residue. MMMM...come to think of it these side effects are actually quite minimal compared to some of those chemically laden prescription drugs.

Oh well, another topic entirely.  Anyway, after about a week of applying the DMSO to his wrist, it is as good as new.  Simply with a daily application of 70% DMSO to the wrist where soreness was experienced.  I've found it also works wonders for back and knee pain.  For quality product, check out http://www.futurehealthtoday.com/dmso-70-31

Take care!

Personal Story - DMSO and Sinus Issues

I wanted to share with you a personal testimony of how DMSO helped me.

Recently I experienced a very unique health problem.

I woke up one morning with my nose very tender to the touch as if I had hit it on something or someone punched me.  Now I knew for sure no one had punched me, but I was truly racking my brain trying to remember if I'd done anything to make it so sore.  Then I decided to do some online research and found that people suffered from this same tenderness as a result of potentially a few different things including facial cellulitis, staph infection and ethmoid sinusitis.

Now being one who prefers to self-treat my health issues I decided to try DMSO, since it works so well as an anti-inflammatory, offering tissue repair and pain relief.  In addition to DMSO I also did a nasal wash that consisted of some anti-bacterial essential oils, sea salt, hydrogen peroxide and distilled water.  Of course since DMSO is a carrier of so many things, I spaced these applications 12 hours apart.

What I found after 3 days, no antibiotics whatsoever is that the swelling was gone and I could breath again and touch my nose without pain.  I am an avid believer in DMSO which offers help in so many ways.  For more information, visit:  https://www.youtube.com/analytics?o=U#;fi=v-FoU0r6rR8GI


Along with DMSO, I routinely use essential oils to address issues with allergies, headaches, etc.  And oftentimes, DMSO can really enhance the usefulness of these other products.  However, it is very important that caution be exercised because whatever you have on your skin where the DMSO is applied, consider that the DMSO will carry in down to the cellular level.

Now, it is each person's responsibility to take health into your own hands.  So any information on this site or in this article or any other, you use at your own risk.  This is in no way to be construed as medical advice or the suggestion thereof.  I merely wanted to share a personal testimony of my successful use of DMSO.  Take charge of your own health!!

DMSO and Cancer

While the uses of DMSO in medical treatments have been documented for decades, its primary use was as a topical analgesic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.  However, with all the studies conducted, we now know that DMSO can be used in treating a mixture of ailments including mental illness, arthritis, emphysema, and even help rid the body of cancer.

DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) was first discovered in the 1950s when its ability to protect cells from freeze damage.  Then Dr. Stanley Jacob began conducting various studies in the medicinal properties naturally present in DMSO, which began in the 1960s. Finally in the 1970s, DMSO was permitted for use as an anti-inflammatory treatment in horses and dogs as well as a prescription for inflamed bladder issues in humans. 

However, supporters of DMSO have long believed that it is also beneficial in slowing or stopping cancer growth, specifically in some forms of breast, colon, ovary, bladder and skin.  Their belief is based on evidence in its success of being used as a part of treatment for certain metabolic cancers.

This differs highly from the frequent use of chemotherapy whereas both normal and cancer cells are targeted because the chemo treatments do not have the ability to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells.  Therefore, when it is used in orthodox medicine it has the potential to damage all cells, healthy or not as well as put toxins into the body.

Cancer can be an assaulting disease that hampers the body’s ability to ward off disease. And while there is no known outright cure for cancer, there have been some positive results in the holistic approach to fighting it; which largely consists of DMSO.  In alternative medicine, DMSO has been used for its ability to carry other treatments and break through the cell membrane walls to get to the area where it is truly needed.  It has been successfully combined with hydrogen peroxide in addressing illness. 

DMSO is an all-natural product that originates from the wood pulping process.  While it is labeled as a solvent, as it is virtually unrecognized by the FDA to have any uses for physical ailments, many have successfully used it for muscle and joint pain and other treatments including the repair of cancerous cells.

DMSO For Pets

DMSO was hailed as a miracle cure in the 1960s and clinical trials began. In pure form, the life of DMSO is indefinite, so it may be used for years. DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a solvent has shown to be helpful in addressing joint and muscle pain.

Years of study done by Dr. Stanley Jacob also included giving DMSO intravenously to paraplegics, with some reporting regaining use of their limbs.

Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is a clear, colorless liquid that is miscible with water and most organic solvents.

While DMSO has sometimes been referred to as "the most controversial therapeutic advance of modern times," the controversy seems to be bureaucratic and financial rather than scientific.

This naturally occurring, sulfur based solvent has long been used by veterinarians to address animal pain, especially in racehorses.  However, it has been safely used on dogs as well.   

DMSO can help to reduce joint inflammation, swelling and pain in dogs and horses, resulting from injury or arthritis. This is frequently the reasons why people use it as well. 

If you choose to use DMSO on your pets, it is imperative that you clean the area thoroughly prior to application.  DMSO is naturally a “carrier” and it very efficiently passes through the skin down to the cellular level.  For this reason, it is also able to carry anything else that may be present on the area being treated.  So, be sure it only makes contact with another substance that you intend it to carry.  For example, veterinarians sometimes recommend MSM in conjunction iwht DMSO to address physical ailments.  These two combined seem to offer very therapeutic effects to help alleviate pain.     

Here is a DMSO vendor of both liquid and cream (the liquid is 99.9% pure DMSO mixed with 30% distilled water, meaning it is 70% pure DMSO and 30% distilled water).

DMSO Gel 90% is formulated to decrease joint inflammation, pain, and provide symptom relief for pets suffering from arthritis or other joint-related conditions.

DMSO has several beneficial properties when used correctly.  Be sure to use with caution and take full responsibility when applying.  For questions, it is recommended to consult your veterinarian.

DMSO for Acne

There is nothing fun about waking up and finding a pesky pimple or two or three on your face…and just in time for a special event nonetheless.  But, don’t lose hope!  DMSO may help! Being that DMSO naturally has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and skin healing properties, this should really come as no surprise. 

I have personally used DMSO to be rather effectual when applied to acne, as well as other skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis.  I use it topically, in a 70% DMSO and 30% pure water solution. It is also a good idea to add aloe vera gel before applying to the skin.  This way the skin will be protected from the natural drying effects often associated with topical application of DMSO; not to mention the soothing feeling that aloe vera gel provides.  If you don’t have aloe vera gel readily available, coconut oil works great too.  In fact it alone offers healing properties when dealing with acne. 

When I’ve used this method, my acne cleared up within a week and didn’t scar!

DMSO for Hemorrhoids

While it may not be a popular topic to talk about at the water cooler, if you’ve ever experienced hemorrhoids, then you know the discomfort and will seek relief as quickly as possible. 

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins found either inside the anus (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).  While more common in men, pregnant women or elderly people also experience this unpleasant inflammation.  Bleeding is sometimes present and along with the swelling they can sometimes itch. 

In extreme cases, doctors have recommended surgical options, which include hemorrhoid removal or hemorrhoid stapling procedures for larger hemorrhoids that may be both internal and external hemorrhoids.  However, we wanted to share with you some other options that individuals have found relief with that are non-invasive and can be done in the comfort of your own home. 

A sitz bath or warm water offers relief from the discomfort of hemorrhoids.  Cold compresses or ice packs help to reduce the inflammation and when wiping after a trip to the toilet, many find it more tolerable to use moist towelettes rather than dry toilet paper. 

Additionally there are topical creams and ointments that contain numbing agent contain hydrocortisone and witch hazel.  Another option in alleviating pain is analgesics such as aspirin or ibuprofen. 

If you are bold and willing to endure slight temporary discomfort in an effort to overcome hemorrhoids then individuals have been known to take cayenne pepper internally, in combination with a tea.  This is thought to address the hemorrhoids by working from the inside out.

While all of these aforementioned options are viable, one of our favorite and more frequently discussed topical remedies is a homemade mixture consisting of DMSO, potassium iodide, and aloe vera.  Since DMSO has natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, this should not really come as a surprise.  Add to it the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties of aloe vera that also offers a soothing gel and natural barrier against the mineral salt of potassium iodide, which is recognized in helping break down scar tissue and you have a great homemade topical solution.  In addition to these three ingredients, some people opt to add cocoa butter, an old folk remedy for burns, wounds and dry lips.  This natural alternative has been said to bring complete relief from hemorrhoids in a period of six days.   

Who wouldn’t opt for that over the knife?

DMSO for Tooth and Gum Disease

Periodontal disease and gingivitis are the leading source of tooth loss in elderly and middle aged individuals. It's a disorder of the supporting structures of the teeth including the periodontal membrane, the gums, and the bones, and is usually caused by poor oral hygiene and a nutritionally deficient diet that regularly contains a surplus of refined sugars.  This type of diet, coupled with poor oral hygiene supports the development of bacteria.   DMSO can help significantly stop the bacterial formation, so health tissue can develop.

DMSO has been used since the 1960s in treating tooth and gum issues. An official study in Poland including fifty patients with periodontal disease took part in the study. Eighteen of these patients had bleeding and inflammation of the gums, thirteen suffered from swollen and bleeding gums and bleeding and nineteen suffered from major damage of periodontal disease that included tooth and bone loss. 

Results showed that DMSO treatments helped patients with the most advanced damage experience less pain, bleeding and inflammation while those in the earlier stages found that some of the teeth tightened back up and they also had less bleeding and discomfort.  Since DMSO kills off bacteria, the bad breath caused by periodontal and gingivitis issues also improved. 

Many do not realize that with periodontal disease, since there is an overabundance of bacteria in the mouth, it can eventually enter into the bloodstream.  Studies show that heart disease is almost twice as high in people who have gum disease as it's for people with healthy gums.

Fortunately DMSO is gaining recognition and value in the medical world and some dentists often use DMSO in their dental practices to solve several pain, disease, and swelling issues. It's used in combination with antibiotics and other drugs. It's particularly useful in treating the gingiva after extractions of teeth. The DMSO also reduces the risk of infection and is also sometimes applied after an extraction and to alleviate toothache pain prior to procedures. 

DMSO has been referred to as a "miracle" and is used in a wide array of ailments.
