A concise guide to the thousands of forgotten studies showing how one simple compound treats strokes, paralysis, neurodegeneration, and nerve pain
• DMSO is an inexpensive “umbrella remedy” whose combination of therapeutic properties (e.g., restoring circulation, reducing inflammation, and reactivating dormant cells) makes it uniquely suited to treating neurological disorders that otherwise lack effective options.
• Hundreds of studies and many reader reports show DMSO can dramatically improve strokes, brain bleeds, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries (including permanent paralysis), with the best results occurring when it is given soon after the injury.
• Extensive data supports DMSO for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, MS, and prion disease, along with cognitive impairment, psychiatric disorders, chronic stress, seizures, and Down syndrome.
• DMSO is one of the most effective treatments available for pain (e.g., neuropathic pain, spinal pain, headaches, and fibromyalgia) and peripheral nerve damage, and since the eyes and ears are also extensions of the nervous system, it frequently improves vision, hearing, and tinnitus.
• DMSO’s ability to treat so many seemingly unrelated neurological conditions suggests they share root causes conventional neurology does not recognize, which is a major reason so many of these diseases remain untreated.
• This article condenses a four-part DMSO neurology series (covering approximately 4,500 studies and 1,000 reader reports) into an accessible summary and concludes with practical guidance on sourcing, dosing, and condition-specific protocols.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a simple, inexpensive compound found throughout nature whose remarkable properties allow it both to treat a wide range of illnesses and to facilitate the use of many different (FDA approved) medical therapies. Yet, it exists in a strange limbo: it is one of the most extensively studied and used medicinal compounds, but most mainstream sources insist there’s no evidence it works for anything beyond its single FDA-approved use, interstitial cystitis, despite the fact that physicians and scientists, seeing its promise, independently conducted tens of thousands of studies demonstrating its therapeutic utility and that DMSO, on the basis of that data, is widely used in foreign medical systems.
