DMSO - Dimethylsulphoxide

[palestine]

i am currently reading hartmut fischer's book 'the dmso handbook' and would like to try now that my cast is off my wrist and arm. to do an initial test he recommends a 70per cent mix and if any prolonged allergic reaction, liver pains or unpleasant symptoms not to use dmso. these reactions seem extreme but would not using lesser per centage solutions be o.k. excuse my ignorance on this.

i realise the stiffness i have at the moment needs to be exercised to improve movement but hoped maybe dmso would lessen swelling and help the muscles stretch with maybe less pain. at the hospital 3 days ago they just took off the cast and gave me a booklet of exercises to do and to go back in 4 weeks. at 72 i've no idea if the 6 breaks have even started to fuse so i don't want to go full bore against the pain.

when the cast was taken off i expected some pain on the release but the pain was so severe it was just the same as the night i broke it. i was unable to speak for for the 1st 10 minutes. needless to say i'm in a pity me mode at the moment but don't want to do anything silly. i would really be grateful if anyone used to using this substance would give me some advice.

on another note it says the expiry date on my dmso is may 2026. does dmso really have an expiry date.

Sorry to hear about your pain. I am sure that you already exhausted many leads. I have a wrist which hurts a lot. The only thing that works is putting it under cold running water. It provides one minute of respite. That's nothing, but it creates the opportunity for something else than pain. At that exact moment, the pain is gone. It does not last long.

Just started taking DMSO for less than a week. I'm getting good results and definitely would like to continue however, a coworker pulled me aside last Friday to inform me of an asparagus smell coming off me. I don't plan to stop taking it though. I'm reading through the PDF from a Midwestern Doctor on DMSO. He mentions Chlorine Dioxide as an antidote to the smell as it inhibits the pathway of the chemical breakdown that results in the odor. Does anyone have experience with that? I also asked Grok what scents would best mask a garlic or asparagus like odor coming from the body. It came back with (Lemon, Bergamot, Grapefruit) or (Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Spearmint) I have a Eucalyptus roll-on being delivered today. (hopefully)

Does anyone have experience with that?

I read that chewing a bit of parsley is helpful. I have also done it and my wife vouches for, that it helps. Other things which you mentions may also be useful.

I mentioned before this patent where it is claimed that MSM is a good antidote for DMSO smell:

WO2011053874A1 - Dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) and methylsulfonylmethane (msm) formulations to treat osteoarthritis - Google Patents

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to the use of formulations comprising DMSO and MSM to treat arthritis (such as osteoarthritis), pain, inflammation, and/or degeneration. DMSO and MSM formulations are administered orally and/or topically in several embodiments and provide effective...

There is also this product that claims the same:

Unique formula: The combination of 99.9% pure DMSO with magnesium and MSM is innovative. Thanks to the intelligent composition, the active ingredients harmonise optimally and the synergy is noticeably better than comparable products. The strong to unpleasant smell of DMSO is not present due to our formula. Composition: largest part DMSO and magnesium, 15% MSM and pure water.

Drinking plenty of water also seems to help if you are not doing that already. Keep us posted!

Chlorine dioxide is MMS. Maybe it works to counteract the smell, but I personally wouldn't drink bleach. Looks like Midwestern Doctor hasn't looked into the MMS conspiracy.

as an antidote to the smell

Don't know why, but I've never had the odor issue. However a family member reeked of garlic whenever he took DMSO for a day or two. Nothing would squelch the odor. So he never took it for more than a few days as a courtesy to everyone.

Then, about 2 months ago, he decided to take a tablespoon of DMSO every day, for 6 months, to see if it might help a particular issue. [Damn the torpedoes (and everyone else).] So, he smelled like garlic again -- when he started. BUT, after 7-10 days, the odor suddenly stopped. He smells fine now.

I don't know what to make of this. I wonder if the DMSO acted like a detox, and whatever was in the body that caused the odor was eliminated over time by the DMSO itself. ?

Thanks to all you've shared here, I have another success story to share about DMSO.

Around 1-2 months ago, I discovered an actinic keratosis on my scalp, oval shape with ca. 10mm in diameter, 2-3mm high. The surface looked somewhat doughy and granular.

In the beginning of December I started applying DMSO gel 75% + Ivermectin every second day. Once it had shrunk a considerable amount I left out the ivermectin and used the DMSO gel only. It was quite itchy during the whole process, and after ca. two weeks, it is completely gone! The swiftness with which it shrunk in size and eventually vanished was really unexpected.

I didn't realize that, thanks! I ordered some MSM yesterday. The combo that Persej mentioned is not available in the U.S. Not from Amazon anyway. I think I can make my own combo though. It also says in the PDF that the smell reduces over time as the body detoxes. So there's that as well.

You are fine - MSM is not the same as MMS!

MMS or miracle mineral solution is basically bleach while MSM is Methylsulfonylmethane a naturally occurring organosulfur compound widely used as a dietary supplement, primarily for its anti-inflammatory effects.

Right, I was glad I decided to try and duplicate the German formula that includes MSM instead of ordering the chlorine dioxide. There was no confusion there.

I didn't know the right concentration of solution for the eyes and I guessed way low. So I made a solution of about 15% as recommended which I just tried. I can taste it in my mouth even though I haven't taken any orally since Monday Night. Kind of strange. I wasn't expecting that.

I remember when I first started taking it orally - 1 tsp in a glass of water would make me really dizzy. Now it's fine. I think the body can take a little while to adjust to such a powerful medicine?

Forgot to add one thing: I also added rose bengal once or twice, so it could well be that this further accelerated the healing process. However, I discontinued it, as the pink stain was too strong to use outside of staying at home days.

I found out about rose bengal from Hartmut Fischer's newsletter (author of THE DMSO Handbook). I hadn't heard of it before and found it very interesting. Here's what he wrote about it:

Rose bengal – Successful studies on its use in skin and breast cancer have been forgotten.

To my knowledge, the organic dye Rose bengal is not a natural substance, so it is produced exclusively industrially, and is a tried and tested, very well-tolerated diagnostic agent and dye in histology. How and why someone one day came up with the idea of using it to treat malignant melanoma is unknown to me, but the results were so astonishingly positive, including the disappearance of all metastases, that further studies were conducted and the drug was to be submitted for approval ... . The same applies to studies on the treatment of breast cancer. It can be assumed that this simple and comparatively inexpensive Rose bengal can also be used for other types of cancer that have not yet been studied.

The procedure is always the same and very simple. A 10% stock solution of Bengal pink (e.g., from www.alchemist.de) is used, which is injected in quantities of approximately 0.5 ml directly into the center of the respective primary tumor. What sounds wild at first is a simple and established procedure. No, an injection with a fine needle, which has a beveled tip, is not comparable to a puncture with a punch needle!!! Alternatively, the DMSO-containing Rose bengal solution can also be applied externally and locally to tumors close to the surface. This also applies to actinic keratoses, for example.

Here's another of his newsletters pertaining to rose bengal from May 2022:

Cancer treatment with Rose bengal – Current status

The organic dyes hematoxylin, methylene blue, and Rose Bengal can be used to treat various types of cancer, among other applications. This has already been discussed in several newsletters. Rose Bengal in particular is attracting a lot of interest because, beyond its place in integrative medicine and empirical medicine, it is also being researched “seriously,” i.e., at greater expense. As already mentioned, the Ärztezeitung newspaper ran the astonishing headline in September 2017: “Melanoma – Rose Bengal brings disease into remission.” Freely translated: Black skin cancer – Rose Bengal makes the disease disappear. Here is the link again: Melanom – Bengalrosa bringt Erkrankung in Remission

In an earlier article on Rose Bengal, we explained why it makes sense to not limit treatment with Rose Bengal to melanoma alone, but to also apply the method to other types of tumors close to the surface, including breast cancer.
Two studies funded by Provectus Pharmaceuticals Inc. on the use of Rose Bengal in melanoma and breast cancer were conducted in Australia and New Zealand between 2005 and 2008:

PV-10 (Bengalrosa-Dinatrium, 10 %) bei Melanom - Register für klinische Studien - ICH GCP

Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Sicherheit von intraläsionalem (IL) PV-10 für die Behandlung von metastasierendem Melanom zu untersuchen. Diese Studie wird auch eine vorläufige Bewertung des Ansprechens von behandelten und unbehandelten Läsionen durch klinische Bewertung bei der...

PV-10 (Bengalrosa-Dinatrium 10 %) bei Brustkrebs - Register für klinische Studien - ICH GCP

Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Sicherheit von intraläsionalem (IL) PV-10 zur Behandlung von rezidivierendem Mammakarzinom zu untersuchen. Diese Studie wird auch eine vorläufige Bewertung der Reaktion injizierter Läsionen durch histologische Bewertung nach der Exzision der Läsion 1–3 Wochen...

The 10% Bengal rose solution used was internally designated PV-10, which makes it easy to find the studies online. This is buffered Bengal rose, which is a free acid.

However, no drug development within the meaning of the Medicines Act has taken place to date. There may be many reasons for this. For us, it means above all that we can continue to obtain this simple mixture as an over-the-counter product. At www.alchemist.de, there is a mixture with an additional 10% DMSO. If you want an exclusively aqueous solution, purchase the powder and add 10 grams of it to 100 ml of pure water. Caution: The powder also stains clothing, skin, furniture, etc.
Numerous therapists have achieved good results with the use of Rose Bengal. For example, Dr. Reinhard Probst's website, under the heading “Infusion Concepts” starting on page 40, describes the mode of action and use of Bengalrosa, together with self-explanatory before and after pictures: https://www.praxisprobst.de/downloads/Biologische-Chemotherapie_Infusionskonzepte.pdf - [this link doesn't work anymore]

Since Rose Bengal has long been administered orally and by injection as a diagnostic agent and is considered completely harmless, it is conceivable that internal tumors could also be treated with water-soluble Rose Bengal, as has been done for decades with hematoxylin solution. Either as a drinkable solution or as an infusion.
