Alternate Names: DMSO, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) (when in its oxidized form), Dimethyl Sulphoxide

Use	Description	Index
Pain Relief	DMSO is commonly used as a topical analgesic to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and injuries.
Anti-inflammatory Effects	DMSO has anti-inflammatory properties and is used in the treatment of conditions like arthritis to reduce swelling and pain.
Skin Health	DMSO has been used to promote skin healing and reduce scarring due to its ability to penetrate the skin and enhance the absorption of other substances.
Wound Healing	Due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, DMSO is sometimes used to help speed up the healing of wounds, burns, and injuries.
Cell Protection and Antioxidant	DMSO has antioxidant properties, protecting cells from oxidative stress and helping to prevent cell damage.
Drug Delivery	DMSO is often used as a carrier solvent in topical creams, allowing other medications to be absorbed more effectively through the skin.
Neurological Protection	Some studies suggest DMSO may have neuroprotective effects, potentially offering protection for neurons and tissues in conditions like stroke or neurodegenerative diseases.

Skin Irritation: DMSO can cause skin irritation or a burning sensation upon application. It is important to use it cautiously, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Garlic-like Odor: A common side effect of DMSO is the strong odor it leaves on the skin, which is similar to garlic. This odor can linger for a while.
Eye Irritation: DMSO can cause irritation to the eyes, so it should be applied carefully to avoid contact with the eyes.
Toxicity Risk with Contaminants: DMSO can carry contaminants into the bloodstream, so it is important to use pure, pharmaceutical-grade DMSO and avoid using it with any harmful substances or impurities on the skin.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: There is limited information on the safety of DMSO during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It should be used cautiously and under medical supervision in these cases.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO): The primary active compound, DMSO is a sulfur-containing organic compound that has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): A naturally occurring compound often associated with DMSO, MSM is thought to contribute to its joint support and anti-inflammatory effects.
Sulfur: DMSO contains sulfur, which is believed to play a role in its healing and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its ability to promote collagen formation in tissues.

Wood and Wood Pulp: DMSO is a byproduct of wood processing and is naturally derived from lignin, a component of wood. It can be synthesized from this natural source.
MSM: While MSM is a derivative of DMSO, it is also found in small amounts in various foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. However, the quantities found in food are much lower than those used therapeutically in DMSO or MSM supplements.

At the first signs of a stroke, if the patient is conscious, administer https://yummy.doctor/blog/dmso-for-strokes/

Prepare Solution: Mix 1/2 ounce (15 ml or 1 tbsp) of 99.995% DMSO with 1/2 ounce of distilled or RO water. If needed, substitute with juice or what you have, but avoid tap water. Add 1 teaspoon of honey or another natural sugar.
Repeat DMSO Application: If the patient is conscious, administer the DMSO solution every 15 minutes for the first 2 hours, then every half hour for the next 2 hours.
Apply DMSO Solution: Rub 1 tablespoon (about 15 ml) of 80-90% DMSO on the neck, chest, back (especially the spine), temples, and scalp.
Apply Magnesium Oil: Use magnesium oil over as much of the DMSO-covered skin as possible to help with detox.
Unconscious Patient: Apply DMSO and magnesium oil topically. Take extra DMSO to the emergency room to apply more within 30 minutes.
Continue Application: After the first 2 hours, apply a 50% DMSO and magnesium oil mixture every hour for the next 3 hours.
