There are a lot of other DMSO articles in the cue, and in the next few weeks, they will finally start coming out now that all the source documents are completed (and just need to be sorted).
Thank you so much for your support and understanding.
Love your writings on this subject. Recently, I read one of your posts about DMSO and Povodine Iodine to remove warts. I used a q-tip with 99.95% DMSO, which was applied to the area on my finger. Once it was absorbed, I then used another q-tip to apply the 10% Povodine Iodine to the same area. I'm pleased to report after a few weeks the wart is now gone. I look forward to sharing my success with my GP as she recommended Compund W, which did not help at all.
On another DMSO subject, I'm now using it with Tea Tree Oil from NOW to help get rid of toe nail fungus. I am using the same process as above. Since this was done yesterday, it is too early to report results. I've had great success with only the Tea Trea Oil so I anticipate DMSO will only help eradicate it faster.
Thank you for all you do. I've been following you, Dr. Cole as well as Dr. McCullough since the COVID plandemic.
I started using DMSO for foot pain (Hallux Limitus) and an injured medial meniscus. I'm in my 60's and in excellent health. The pain in both areas was constant, and threatened to interfere with my 1+ hour daily yoga & calisthenics habit. I obtained orthotic inserts and used them religiously. Otherwise, I did not (could not) take any pain medication. I started spraying on a 50% mixture and gently rubbing it in to the affected areas. It took quite a while, but the knee and foot pain is greatly diminished. One can never be sure which of the many interventions we try are effective, but the information here has helped me understand how DMSO can and likely does work. No matter, I am relatively pain free and still maintaining my fitness routine, which was the point all along. The minute I stop moving, I will start rapidly aging. Anything I can do to increase my healthspan and peakspan is welcomed. Thank you for carrying the torch on this issue!
I have a medial meniscus tear. Could you please share your protocol? Did you mix DMsO with anything? 50% mixture of DMSO and what else? I used 99% DMSO in aloe vers gel. It burned my skin after few uses. I stopped using it. Thank you so much for sharing your healing experience!
Sirisha, I mixed it 50/50 with distilled water and keep it in a brown glass spray bottle. A spray or two is sufficient, with gentle rubbing to spread it evenly. I find that it can and does burn a little, especially in other areas (back, neck), but it is tolerable and dissipates in a few moments. If your meniscus is damaged, the key is to stop doing things that cause pain, start doing gentle stretching and motion, and reduce the inflammation with DMSO. It may take weeks. Just stick with it and you should see the pain start diminishing. Keep in mind that the meniscus gets shredded as we age, and it will not support vigorous exercise after you reach mid-life. Preservation is the key - gentle motion throughout all your range in every joint using isometrics (body weight) to maintain and build strength. Your synovial fluid will do its job if you merely stop the harm and reduce the chronic inflammation.
Thank you. We’re forever grateful for the advice you’ve freely given and the actions we’ve taken as a result. As Mom used to say: Sharing time is a happy time. Thank you for sharing!
I am only partway through this article, and while I rather liked seeing Mike Wallace again, from a time when news media could still be investigative, I have just read this sentence:
“Making cancer cells revert to normal cells (which is often needed for research).”
WHAT??!!! While this might often be needed for ‘research’, would this also often be needed by people suffering from cancer????
I had the same reaction when I read it! Bingo! The medical profession will find itself trailing far behind the ordinary folk who choose to try out this low-risk potentially high-benefit substance.
DMSO is such an interesting topic. Medically, it is invaluable. As a dairy vet, the regulatory system makes it nearly unusable on Grade A dairy farms. The same goes for aspirin. Why? Due to the Animal Medical Drug Use Clarification Act (AMDUCA), which organized veterinary medicine reverently worships, *ONLY* FDA-approved medicines can/should be used via an algorithm that allows extra label drug use.
So, because there is an FDA-approved drug available for the same indications against pain and inflammation (e.g., pharmaceutically manufactured flunixin), DMSO and aspirin are not to be used.
It comes down to the FDA zealously protecting the drugs it has approved (and keeping out unapproved medicines). This is somewhat understandable but also suppresses both plausible medicines from being used and the medical freedom of licensed practitioners to exercise their scientific knowledge to each case as presented its unique characteristics.
In the case of dairy, the pharmaceutical complex - with its arms funding university researchers and its lobbyists that actively giving invited input into the FDA rule making process (read: making regulations that they can meet) - practitioners like myself are are hobbled by obscure yet official interpretations of regulations that inspectors can apply everyday when visiting Grade A dairy farms.
Specifically in the case of DMSO, the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) Item 15r. states that only FDA-approved drugs can be stored and used on Grade A dairy farms. This severely negatively impacts USDA certified-organic dairy farms that by law cannot use many drugs that are FDA-approved i.e., antibiotics, hormones, steroids, etc. The M-I-06-5 interpretation of Item 15r (not read by hardly any practitioner) expressly states that DMSO can be a life-saving drug but *only* a veterinarian can administer it ... but cannot dispense it for follow-up use by the farmer. This is news to many in my field as they all think that DMSO is simply not allowed to be used and it shouldn't be *because we have FDA-approved drugs* (that are to be used).
DMSO, aspirin (and botanical drugs that were once mainstream medicine prior to there establishment of the FDA in 1938) are sad casualties of a regulatory process that is aimed at protecting the pharmaceutical industry.
Wow, this is eye opening. Not only is the FDA hobbling humans, it's hobbling animals and farmers from saving lives and eliminating disability and disease. It's a plan to reduce our food supply, benefit pharma and lobbyists, and generally ruin life as we used to know it.
Truly a travesty. Thank you for bringing light to yet another crime by FDA and its friends.
If you have had a DMSO report you'd like to share, please do so here:

When they are posted in other places, despite my best efforts, they frequently get missed and don't make it up there.
Additionally, the most current information on using DMSO can be found in this article:

"Laziness won, and the FDA began looking for reasons to stop this [surge in applications for FDA approval]."
It wasn't laziness that won. It was malice. "Suppression of cures" is the FDA's raison d'etre.
