Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
Dr. Jacob said at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Health in 1980, "DMSO is one of the few agents in which effectiveness can be demonstrated before the eyes of the observers....If we have patients appear before the Committee with edematous sprained ankles, the application of DMSO would be followed by objective diminution of swelling within an hour. No other therapeutic modality will do this."
THE FACTS ABOUT DMSO
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) has been studied since 1963! This study began with Dr. Stanley W. Jacob at the University of Oregon Medical School and now Read more specifically on Arthritis benefits below.
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is an agent which not only relieves pain, but has multiple well documented effects on a variety of illnesses and disorders. DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) possesses lifesaving potential in stroke victims and for head injuries [JC de la Torre - Annals of NY Academy of Sciences 1975, vol 243]. In multiple lower animal studies, DMSO prevents indefinite paralysis following severe spinal cord contusions.
Chronic pain patients often have to apply the substance for 6 weeks before a change occurs, but many report relief to a degree they had not been able to obtain from any other source.
Since 1965 about 300,000 people in the United States have sustained spinal cord injuries. Thousands of these people remain paralyzed today. The early and effective use of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) might have prevented theses tragedies. Recently, Karaca [European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 1991, vol 40:113-114]& Kulai [Neurchirurgia 1990, Vol 33: 177-180] report on the value of intravenous DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) in the management of brain swelling and intracranial pressure in patients with the severe closed head injury. Currently, there are studies happening to evaluate the use of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and fructose diphosphate in rodents for the therapy of Alzheimer's' Disease.
THE CONTROVERSY OVER DMSO
While some articles may call DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)"the most controversial therapeutic advance of modern times," it seems that this controversy is more bureaucratic and economic rather than scientific! This often happens when there is a finding like graviola, that cures multiple aliments with little side effects, that would have a serious impact on the medical and pharmaceutical industry.
In 1965 the FDA halted the evaluation of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) in the United States of America. At that time there was data in their files on more than 100,000 patients submitted by over 1,500 physicians from around our country showing it's safety and effectiveness. The pharmaceutical companies submitting this data were Merck, Syntex, and Squibb.
Over the past forty years, more than 10,000 articles on the biologic implications of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) have appeared in the scientific literature and 30,000 articles on the chemistry of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) have also been published. The results of these studies strongly support the view that DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a truly significant new therapeutic principle.
Safety should always be considered in any medicinal therapy. Except for nuisance side effects such as odor (which can easily be covered as with the rose scented creams and roll ons above), the only well documented, potentially serious side effect, as with any medication, is an occasional patient who is allergic. A careful review of the published literature on DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) show that there is not a single death which can definitely be attributed to this agent.
Conservatively, hundreds of millions of patients have been safely treated with worldwide. DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a substance of extraordinary low toxicity.
ARTHRITIS REMEDY DMSO
There are more than one hundred articles around the world relating to DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and arthritis. These include both clinical studies and the mechanism of action. In 1978 DMSO was approved by the FDA for therapy in humans for various musculo-skeletal problems in Russia and now the Moscow Institute of Rheumatology estimates that about 50 percent of the arthritic population in Russia receives DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) as a part of their therapy!
A very important controlled study was completed at the Japanese Rheumatism Association and showed benefit in rheumatoid arthritis [Matsomoto - Annals of NY Academy of Sciences 1967, Vol. 141, Article 1, 560-569]. Twenty universities centers were involved in the study.
TODAY IT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is an effective treatment for pain, illness and disorders for which we have no other therapy. It is safer, less expensive, and at least as effective for a variety of problems for which we are presently using other, less effective, and more costly treatments.
In 1972 the National Academy of Sciences evaluated the scientific data on DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and concluded it was a least as effective as currently approved treatments for three musculoskeletal inflammatory problems in man.
Unfortunately in these times it is often up to us to educate ourselves on the information the Pharmaceutical companies DON'T want us to know. Often it is not our Doctor's fault, they were not educated either, they are educated on illnesses in Medical School and on treatments from the Drug Companies that are running our country.
We are happy to offer DMSO at YourNaturalRemedy.com.
