Over the past 12 months, I’ve labored to convey the general public’s consideration to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) a forgotten pure remedy which quickly treats a variety of circumstances and that many research have proven could be very secure (offered it is used appropriately), and, most significantly (due to the 1994 DSHEA act which legalized all pure therapies)1 is now available.
Since I consider DMSO has immense potential to supply the medical group and particular person sufferers, I’ve diligently labored to compile proof that greatest helps its rediscovery. As such, all through this collection, I’ve introduced over a thousand research that DMSO successfully treats:
• Strokes, paralysis, and plenty of different neurological or circulatory issues (mentioned right here).
• Continual ache and tissue accidents, corresponding to sprains, burns and non-healing wounds (mentioned right here).
• Quite a few autoimmune and contractile issues (mentioned right here).
• Head circumstances, corresponding to tinnitus, imaginative and prescient loss, dental issues, and sinusitis (mentioned right here).
• Inside organ illnesses, corresponding to pancreatitis, infertility, liver cirrhosis, and endometriosis (mentioned right here).
• Pores and skin circumstances, corresponding to varicose veins, pimples, hair loss, ulcers, and pores and skin most cancers (mentioned right here).
• Many various cancers (mentioned right here).
• Lung issues, together with bronchial asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis (mentioned right here).
• Infections, together with persistent bacterial infections, herpes, and shingles (mentioned right here).
DMSO Mixture Therapies
DMSO’s potential to deal with a variety of diseases outcomes from its having a wide range of extremely uncommon properties that seem to handle the foundation causes of illness (e.g., it drastically improves circulation). One among DMSO’s most noteworthy properties is its potential to boost the results of different substances, which in lots of instances makes it potential to surmount main dilemmas historically seen with these therapies.
DMSO’s distinctive potential to operate as a car is because of the truth that it could move by organic membranes with out damaging them,2 so as soon as it contacts the pores and skin, it quickly spreads all through the physique.3 On the similar time, concurrently it readily dissolves most substances and is ready to convey them with it into the physique. That is very helpful because it permits you to:
• Apply a drugs topically or orally that will sometimes require an IV or injection.
• Make medication change into way more potent and in a position to deal with circumstances that in any other case is not going to reply to (e.g., these mixtures can penetrate and deal with antibiotic-resistant micro organism or chemotherapy resistant cancers).
• Permit decrease doses of a drug for use, which are sometimes a lot much less poisonous and in lots of instances, counteract the toxicity of the blended remedy (as DMSO protects tissue from damage) — all of which make it extremely helpful for decreasing the hurt of chemotherapy.
Observe: Whereas DMSO can’t be patented, mixtures can. As such, whereas DMSO alone is «unsafe» «ineffective,» and «unproven» many «secure and efficient» DMSO pharmaceutical mixtures exist, together with many permitted by the FDA.
Pure Mixture Research
A big quantity of scientific literature exists on DMSO being utilized in mixture with pharmaceutical medication, and many permitted DMSO merchandise additionally incorporate pure brokers corresponding to menthol, camphor, lavandin, lavender oil, coriander oil, arnica, and capsicum. Many pure brokers, together with quite a few botanicals, have additionally been proven to synergistically mix with DMSO in lots of circumstances.
• Neurological circumstances:
◦In rats with Alzheimer’s illness, DMSO and Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), administered for 14 days, improved studying and reminiscence.4

Observe: DMSO additionally considerably elevated the flexibility of Annona muricata seed extracts to get rid of mosquitoes within the water, and after 6 hours, 0.5mg/L killed 62% of larvae and 100% of pupae.14
• Dental circumstances:
◦50% DMSO and 1 mg/ml oleanolic acid (which is discovered inside many vegetation, together with olives15) in 30 extracted human enamel with enterococcus faecalis infections quickly diminished micro organism ranges, inside 24 hours, utterly eliminating them.16,17,18
◦DMSO in a gel with 10% glucosamine hydrochloride, nettle juice, and Kalanchoe juice successfully handled periodontitis in animals, decreasing irritation and rushing tissue restore.19
Observe: Many research have additionally proven DMSO enhances the absorption of plant extracts (e.g., for ginseng20,21).
Therapeutic with Pure DMSO Combos
As there’s an virtually infinite variety of pure substances that may very well be mixed with DMSO, it has not been potential to analysis them. Thankfully, the benefit, security, and efficacy of those mixtures have impressed many to take their well being into their very own palms and discover combining DMSO with many confirmed pure cures. Key discoveries with these mixtures from the DMSO group embody:
• Service oils and topical bases — Along with diluting DMSO with a liquid, it’s generally combined with a thicker substance, of which three are generally used:
◦Aloe vera — This rehydrates the pores and skin, thereby counteracting the dryness generally skilled with persistent DMSO use, and in lots of instances extenuates DMSO’s therapeutic properties.
Mostly they’re used collectively to appease the pores and skin (e.g., for sunburns, eczema, or pimples), for wound therapeutic (e.g., in a mouthwash taken a number of instances a day for a molar abscess), typically together with calendula, however has additionally proven promise for prostatitis (the place it’s sometimes rectally administered) and sophisticated regional ache syndrome (the place it’s massaged into the affected space).
◦Castor oil — That is continuously used for musculoskeletal and eye points, so earlier than lengthy it grew to become mixed with DMSO for these conditions. This mix is regarded as wonderful for rheumatic complaints (e.g., spinal points, joint ache, and painful beforehand fractured bones), one thing many readers have attested to22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32 together with eye points (e.g., cataracts), which likewise many discovered labored.33,34,35,36,37,38
This mix can also be used for different musculoskeletal points (e.g., therapeutic tendons and scar tissue) and amongst the 80 or so readers who’ve reported utilizing it, I’ve additionally heard success tales for a lot of different circumstances (e.g., neuropathies, fungal infections, facial pores and skin points, eczema, rashes, and an umbilical hernia, and so on.).39
◦Coconut oil — That is mostly used to stop pores and skin irritation or dryness from DMSO (particularly from persistent use), and for pores and skin points (e.g., pimples, eczema, chapped pores and skin) or beauty preparations. Sometimes it is suggested to start out with utilizing 10% to twenty% coconut oil, whereas in therapeutic functions, 50% is commonly wanted. Lastly, MCT oil is usually used when a extra substantial therapeutic impact is required (e.g., for joint ache).
Observe: I’ve a powerful suspicion that coconut or MCT oil DMSO mixtures can be fairly useful for Alzheimer’s, as every has been proven in medical trials to enhance dementia,40 and plenty of readers have reported success from all three individually for Alzheimer’s.
• Important oils — Many important oils have been mixed with DMSO and continuously produced therapeutic outcomes better than these seen with the oil alone. These embody:
◦Frankincense — Recognized for its anti-inflammatory and ache relieving properties, it’s typically used for circumstances like knee ache, again ache, and sciatica. Moreover, when rubbed onto the roof of the mouth, it could promote parasympathetic activation (which for instance helps most cancers sufferers if finished twice a day).
◦Tea tree — Tea tree oil is thought for its antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antifungal (and to a lesser extent antiviral) exercise. As such, it is among the most typical antimicrobials combined with DMSO and used to deal with a variety of infections (e.g., sprayed into wounds, for folliculitis or, as a reader reported,41 an angular cheilitis which had not responded to fifteen years of pure and standard therapies), together with many different circumstances corresponding to insect bites.
◦Peppermint — This cooling oil relaxes muscle tissue and blood move. It’s typically used alone or with DMSO to alleviate ache, complications (together with migraines), and nerve irritation (e.g., sciatica) or swallowed for digestion.
◦Lavender — This continuously used oil is kind of useful for muscle cramps and joint ache, reduces nervousness, improves sleep, and generally is used for bronchial asthma assaults, and is continuously combined into DMSO lotions or gels.
◦Different important oils — Generally mixed with DMSO embody Eucalyptus (joint/muscle soreness or bronchial asthma), Myrrh (again and knee ache), Black Pepper (circulation enhancement), Wintergreen (ache reduction), Clary Sage (cramps, significantly menstrual ones), and Candy Birch (muscle rest).
Observe: Given their efficiency, you will need to dilute important oils when combining them with DMSO.
• Botanicals — Along with important oils, many different botanicals have been efficiently mixed with DMSO:
◦Arnica and comfrey — These heal musculoskeletal accidents, and when mixed with DMSO, relieve aches, ache, and bruising, heal ligament or tendon accidents (e.g., sprains, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendon ache) and assist tissue restore, with some reporting drastically accelerated therapeutic (e.g., recoveries in 1 to 2 weeks as an alternative of months).
◦Turmeric — As turmeric is a extremely potent (however secure) anti-inflammatory agent, and the lively ingredient in it (curcumin) absorbs poorly, it’s well-suited for being mixed with DMSO. There, it’s typically used to deal with circumstances corresponding to joint irritation, gastritis, knee ache, and basic ache (e.g., three readers discovered it instantly, and sometimes completely, eliminates ache).42,43,44
Observe: One reader used it with ginger to get rid of a lipoma,45 whereas one other used it with a inexperienced tea extract to get rid of a seborrheic keratosis.46
◦Black cumin seed oil — This anti-inflammatory oil is potentiated by DMSO, and plenty of have discovered quick ache reduction from it.
◦Cayenne pepper (Capsicum) — At low doses, that is usually finished for ache reduction (significantly neuropathic ache and migraines) or to enhance circulation.
◦Cannabinoids — CBD oil’s makes use of (significantly decreasing seizures, irritation, ache, and neuropathies) are enhanced in DMSO mixtures. A number of readers47,48,49 have reported this mix helped their arthritis, ache, and neuropathies (e.g., thumb arthritis that was scheduled for surgical procedure,50 or most cancers ache from chemotherapy and metastases).51
◦Amygdalin — It is a pure most cancers remedy (also called B17 or laetrile) from apricot kernels that the FDA efficiently blacklisted and erased from reminiscence. On the time it was in use, many integrative medical doctors noticed a big synergy when it was combined with DMSO in IVs and routinely used that mixture to deal with most cancers, and just lately it has been rediscovered in Germany.
Observe: Hematoxylin (a standard dye) mixed with DMSO produces an extremely potent (and secure) most cancers mixture. Moreover, when mixed with DMSO, ivermectin turns into way more efficient for eliminating most cancers.
◦Sulforaphane — I’ve obtained a compelling report that this mix improves Parkinson’s.
◦Eyebright (Euphrasia rostkoviana) — This is among the high DMSO mixtures for eye well being (e.g., cataracts) and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moreover, blueberry extract, l-Carnosine, l-Carnitine, and taurine are generally used to boost the efficacy of DMSO eye drops (e.g., one reader reported52 that they eradicated their cataracts).
Observe: DMSO alone is continuously noticed to be a extremely efficient remedy for a wide range of degenerative and inflammatory eye circumstances.
Creating Your Personal House Cures
Regardless of having now gone by 1000’s upon 1000’s of research with DMSO, there’s nonetheless an excellent deal I don’t perceive in regards to the substance, significantly the innumerable variety of issues it may be mixed with.
Thankfully, excluding instances the place there’s a exceptional and surprising synergy (e.g., DMSO and hematoxylin treating most cancers) these mixtures behave in a reasonably predictable sample. So long as you’re aware to keep away from frequent points (e.g., utilizing an excessive amount of of an irritating or acidic substance), these mixtures are comparatively secure and sometimes fairly efficient.
For instance, many people need options to chemical cosmetics that keep away from their toxicity and don’t irritate or deplete the pores and skin, however discover pure formulations typically don’t “do sufficient.” Nonetheless, when mixed with DMSO, these frequent components (e.g., lots of which I listed above) not solely change into simpler, however in lots of instances are in a position to rejuvenate and restore the pores and skin, in lots of instances displaying exceptional antiaging results (e.g., pores and skin tightening).
As such, a variety of efficient beauty DMSO blends have been developed that not solely free customers from dangerous chemical formulations, but in addition typically enable them to heal a wide range of difficult pores and skin points.
