I can vouch for its effectiveness. I have some in my cabinet. My mum did loads of research and tried it when none of the medical professionals could work out what was wrong with her and how to fix her. She fixed herself using this stuff.

She developed a rash all over her body. It was big and it was evil and painful. Loads of tests showed nothing. It was too painful for her to wear clothes. She became housebound. She wished she was dead. It took her months of research to find this stuff. She applied it to her skin - probably diluted, but I don’t think she combined it with anything and she started to see an improvement immediately. She managed to get rid of the condition completely, and even though she didn’t use it at the start of her condition, it still worked.

I have re-read the midwesterndoctor,com article on DMSO a number of times...as it can be used for many different health problems. I am using it right now on my legs, which I injured trying to use a treadmill...and hitting the wrong button. Well, i learned not to use the treadmill without my daughter's help. She has been changing my bandages for the last 6 weeks. We re-ordered DMSO from Amazon in an amber-colored glass bottle - the 70% solution the midwesterndoctor recommended.

I’ve had mixed results with DMSO. Tried it for neck pain, it didn’t do much. I’ve been applying it nightly with Chorine Dioxide to a mast cell tumor on my dog since last fall and it has slowly been shrinking.

Does anyone know of an online source where you can find out exactly how to use the DMSO and in what concentrations for diseases, viruses, wounds, etc? It’s easy to buy but hard to find out how to use.

Telegram has a DMSO group. (Probably many of them, actually.) This one has been helpful for me. Lots of resources, too. If you've never been on the Telegram platform, it takes a bit of getting used to, but it is well worth it. Amanda Vollmer's book, "Healing with DMSO" is referenced often with directions for many DMSO applications. https://t.me/+twc2IVWM5t03ZDZh

Amazon has books on DMSO also they sell pharmacies grade DMSI in many different forms. I have read though if you have medical implants in your body it could affect them because it is a solvent. Keep doing your own research. I use it all the time when needed and does every member of my family. Good luck and stay healthy

I have tried DMSO countless times and does nothing. I have read about how it acts as a catalyst for absorption. So I put it on first, still no improvement.

I have not tried it internally. It is a solvent and by product of the paper industry. That scares me. It smells awful.

Same. I was so hopeful it would help my spider veins. I used it religiously for weeks…stopped….used it again for a couple of weeks….with no difference whatsoever. Maybe Im doing something wrong, but there’s no one to help determine that in my area. Ive called several NP offices along with integrative offices. Also, since the word has got out to try DMSO, the prices on Amazon have skyrocketed!! Much smaller bottles cost the same as the bigger ones I purchased earlier in the year.

I forgot what type the dermatologist said I had, but she said it was skin cancer. She zapped another spot above my lips, which blistered, and I didn't want her doing it to my nose! So I'm putting in on nose and above lip every night. The red spot on my nose is going away with the combination.

Results mean something! Thanks midwesterndoctor.com for your info. You listed several companies to buy DMSO…I bought Nature’s Gift and it got rid of the infection on my leg… I tried to get on a treadmill and hit the wrong button…and lost my balance; wound up losing lots of skin on my legs. My legs are healing thanks to your advice on DMSO.

Have you ever written about basal cells? It’s so strange to me that everyone I know is getting diagnosed with these types of growths. Is it really necessary to do the mohs surgery or radiation? I’m not convinced. Especially since they use so much scary verbage. Hope you can write about it soon. I belong to your substack and enjoy every article you write. Peace and prayers to you🙏🏻

I ingested DMSO for 2 months for my chronic lymphocytic leukemia and it gave me the lowest lymphocyte count in the10 years I've had CLL, as low as when it first started. I've taken it for the last 4 months too, but haven't tested again yet. Mike Yeadon doesn't know squat.

DMSO is NOT a "cure". It's laden with toxic chemicals. You have a lot of nerve!

DMSO is a byproduct of the paper mill industry. Poisonous chemicals are used to strip pine bark from pine trees. The toxic byproduct is sold for health supplementation.

DMSO may provide limited nutritional benefits to cells simply because pine bark is highly medicinal. However, it also has well-documented toxic side effects from the chemicals used by the paper mills that we should not ignore.

DMSO increases ROS production, decreases cell viability, and induces mitochondrial dysfunction through impairing glutamate transporter synthesis. Overuse causes traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and neurodegeneration.

The screenshot below is from a study entitled Dimethyl Sulfoxide Damages Mitochondrial Integrity and Membrane Potential in Cultured Astrocytes.

As you can see, DMSO is a neurotoxin. Neurotoxicants are many chemicals or substances that interfere with normal function and/or compromise adaptation in the central and/or peripheral nervous system. DMSO is associated with various central nervous system side effects, such as epileptic seizures, stroke, transient global amnesia, and more. Studies have shown that DMSO can produce widespread apoptosis in the developing central nervous system. If somebody is poisoned with COVID-19 technology or shedding, DMSO is a wrong and potentially dangerous treatment.

Pine bark

If you’re using or considering DMSO, please use pine bark tablets instead and avoid chemical exposure. The entire pine tree is highly medicinal. I use pine needle essential oil and turpentine, 100% pure gum spirits from pine sap, to cleanse parasites with my clients.

Pine bark is rich in procyanidins, powerful antioxidants that can help neutralize harmful molecules in the body, potentially preventing cell damage and cancer. Pine bark also reduces inflammation and treats autoimmune, heart diseases, allergies, and erectile dysfunction.

Pine bark improves circulation, reducing leg pain, heaviness, and swelling in people with circulation problems. However, pine needle oil and turpentine do the same. The various medicines from pine trees will give you a more substantial benefit than DMSO, with no toxic side effects.

This looks like just another magic bullet that's come down the pike over the last 50 or so years....Adelle Davis promoted "Tiger's Milk" which my mother used when pregnant, full of discards from the food industry such as brewer's yeast, whey, bone meal, etc. with all the problems inherent in those products.

How can anything containing toxic chemicals, with harmful side effects, be a cure? And on what authority has this claim been proven?

You cannot make a claim that DMSO "cures" unless you've been able to scientifically prove it through clinical research. DMSO would have to have cured every test subject in a study to make that claim.

This is false reporting, based on an unproven theoretical claim. It's dangerous and it's illegal!

In my practice, I've had plenty of individuals and clients report to me with terrible side effects, not knowing it was coming from DMSO. Their health got worse over time, the longer they used it.

There's no need to use DMSO and risk your health. Pine trees are the cure.

Use pine needle essential oil and get all the results you need.

You need to read The Midwestern Doctor's site. He has a lot of references of it being studied by other doctors (with tests being done) and it working for them. And the Doc doesn't SELL anything, like you are trying to sell your potion.

Commercial promotions are an automatic disqualifier for credibility. Mercola also jumped on the DMSO article bandwagon and has lots of products he's trying to shill.

The real marketplace of healthy, organic and nutritious products on Amazon and elsewhere should be enough for most people, we don't need to have people pushing their own products.

That's a major reason I've avoided selling DMSO products. She has been non-stop saying DMSO is an inferior and toxic alternative to pine oil and then using the fear and traffic she generates to push affiliate links for pine oil products (which, while sometimes helpful, are much more toxic and less effective than DMSO). I tried providing the data to her and she just deleted it.

This is the purest for I have found. I read not to shop on Amazon for it because they usually sell the industrial solvent grade. It’s important to get as pure as possible because of it being a carrier into your system.

We are not the same. Hence mass vaccinations didn’t work. It killed some. Maimed some. You get the picture.

If it works for you offer your testimonial. If it didn’t offer your testimonial. If I just listen to Fauci I might be dead!! Read and learn. It is true to purchase herbs etc from your local herbalist or Bit store before hitting Amazon. Much of that stuff comes from china. And if the Chinese thought nothing of diluting milk with melamine paint well, buyer beware.

The midwestern doctor still believes viruses exist. He still believes bacteria, parasites ect cause illness, which they do not. They may be present but are not the cause. They are the effect. We should not be so quick to kill everything. Bacteria feed on dead tissue. Parasites seem to clean up heavy metals.

Even if the drug is less expensive, it’s still a drug.

Although... if a drug works to help the body get cured from whatever is causing dis-ease is it not worth a go? Some people think it is viruses and bacteria... some think it is molds , toxins, EMF - whatever... if the stuff genuinely works and does not cause harm why worry about what other people say? 🤔

The word “cure” is a problem. The body displays symptoms when the toxic load is too high and the terrain is not in a state to clear those toxins(macro, micro nutrients, toxins, emotional, spiritual, energetic, ect. quickly enough(deficiency). Your body is in harmony, the clearing does not produce “symptoms”. Dis- ease occurs when those symptoms become a problem. It’s a puzzle with many pieces.

The word cure is referring to “in harmony”. We fall in and out of harmony all the time. It’s a normal process. We (western medicine) just doesn’t know how to decipher the body‘s language.

Giving someone lab created, synthetic chemicals has never produced harmony.

Has anyone experienced water retention from using DMSO? I was taking one capsule of 99.995% pure & I started to blow up. Hands, feet & face.

The only thing I can think of is that I might have overdone it the first time I used it. I hurt my back & put a pack on it soaked in DMSO all day. I felt terrible the next day from the detox. Lethargic & achy.

I felt amazing when I took it orally. Does anyone know how I can get past this water retention? 🙏🏻
