DMSO is a natural healing compound found in nature. Proper dosage and application is key to its safe and effective use.
Synthetic drugs can cause nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to imbalances in the body and side effects like memory problems, muscle pain, and neurological issues. Natural substances like DMSO do not cause such high levels of nutritional deficiencies and side effects.
Works as an Anti-inflammatory Agent
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that has been found to have several beneficial effects on inflammation and tissue repair. It affects three pathways related to blood flow and clot formation, including vasodilation (widening of arteries), vasoconstriction (prevention of artery constriction), and platelet separation (encouraging the production of platelets but not their clumping). In addition, DMSO is a natural nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works similarly to aspirin, by blocking prostaglandins and controlling on-off switches in certain cells that regulate inflammation and pain. Unlike aspirin, DMSO does not have toxic effects on the stomach, does not cause eye or cartilage damage, and can even help with musculoskeletal pain disorders when used consistently and correctly over time. The anti-inflammatory action of DMSO is believed to be due to its effect on prostaglandin pathways, which are key players in the inflammatory response.
Antioxidant or Pro-oxidant?
DMSO is a substance that has both antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties. The impact of DMSO on the body is dependent on the dose, the pH of the tissue, the materials it interacts with, and the user’s health. The body requires a balance of both antioxidant and pro-oxidant activities to avoid producing too much oxidative stress. Pro-oxidants are needed to kill bacteria and fungus and to remove damaged tissue, while antioxidants are required to prevent diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and metabolic disorders. The pro-oxidant activity of DMSO can have negative effects on the body, but it also has the reputation of being a powerful antioxidant in high enough doses. DMSO acts as a powerful antioxidant by destroying intracellular free radicals and directly reducing the production of hydroxyl free radicals. However, when using DMSO as an oxidant, it is advisable to take vitamins and minerals to neutralize any free radicals it may produce. Recommended vitamins and minerals include vitamins A, E, C, B1, B6, as well as zinc and selenium. It is suggested that everyone takes a B-complex vitamin in the morning for energy and detoxification.
DMSO and Other Products of Nature
DMSO is a substance that is rapidly absorbed through the skin due to its bipolar nature, allowing it to traverse both water- and oil-soluble barriers. People with fair skin tend to show greater sensitivity to DMSO. The substance makes the skin accessible for materials to pass through it and also out from within. DMSO assists nanoparticles in transferring tiny-sized DNA particles into cells and is used in research. Combining DMSO with natural substances like vitamins, minerals, and botanicals opens up new therapeutic possibilities.
DMSO’s Activities
DMSO is a naturally occurring substance that has a range of powerful actions in humans, animals, and plants. Some of these actions include having antimicrobial properties, being a muscle relaxant, increasing the production of white cells and macrophages for the immune system, increasing cell membrane permeability for removal of toxins, being radioprotective, and inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme from breaking down acetylcholine. DMSO is also an excellent detoxifier for heavy metals, an effective painkiller, and has cryoprotective properties for preservation of cells and organs. Additionally, it is a bacteriostatic agent, has anti-inflammatory properties, improves blood supply, and is a potent free radical scavenger. It is also transdermal and easily penetrates the skin, blood-brain barrier, and enters the bloodstream. Furthermore, it acts as a carrier for other drugs and supplements, increasing their effects while reducing any undesirable side effects. It also has antinociceptive properties, reducing sensitivity to dangerous or harmful stimuli, and is considered to be a safe and non-toxic therapy.
