What is DMSO?

 

DMSO is short for Dimethyl sulfoxide, a chemical solvent that comes from tree bark.

According to Web MD: “it’s a by-product of papermaking. It comes from a substance found in wood. DMSO has been used as an industrial solvent since the mid-1800s. Since about the mid-20th century, researchers have explored its use as an anti-inflammatory agent.DMSO is easily absorbed by the skin. It’s sometimes used to increase the body’s absorption of other medications.”

DMSO is a liquid solvent that many have used in various ailments topically or on occasion orally. For many, it has been a game-changer in treating their inflammation, swelling, or pain. Athletes have used it for years with injuries for a quicker recovery. It has also been used often in the gut health community for things such as scrictures (see below for more info) or other chronic diseases.

Dr. Stanley Jacob known as the father of DMSO has a lot of information you can look into here for any additional DMSO stats. He discovered DMSO and its uses.

Jini at Listen to Your Gut has used DMSO for many years and also recommends “DMSO – Nature’s Healer” book by Dr. Morton Walker, if you want additional information and insights on DMSO.

*Please note: ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before implementing any new treatments. Please consult your doctor before trying DMSO as it is a very particular substance that needs to be handled with care and in the correct way for it to be safe and effective.

Benefits of DMSO

We love this beautiful quote from Dr. Siepe:

“It (DMSO) has absolute unique therapeutic properties and is one of the most important remedies for the relief of human suffering. It is useful either by itself or in combination with other medication conventional (such as antibiotics, chemo drugs, steroids), or naturopathic. Every doctor should become knowledgeable about DMSO treatments which can be incorporated into any practice with serious benefits in the therapy of almost any diseases acute or chronic.”

“DMSO is one of nature’s healers among the most efficacious ever uncovered.”

She continues: “With DMSO total pain relief is now possible, serious and almost terminal pathologies are reversible and good health is reachable at very low costs.”

Some DMSO Benefits from Dr. Siepe:

  • It is a muscle relaxant.
  • It boosts the immune system, increasing the production of white cells and macrophages.
  • It has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties.
  • Increases permeability of cells’ membrane, allowing toxins to flush.
  • It is the best heavy metals detoxifier (binds to Aluminum, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Nickel and eliminates them via urination and sweating.

Here are some additional benefits we at CCL & Listen To Your Gut have found:

  • Potentially help with anal or intestinal scrictures
  • Potentially help with hemorrhoids
  • Potentially help gut inflammation 
  • Greatly reduce or eliminate inflammation, swelling, and pain
  • Increase or potentiate cell-mediated immunity in auto-immune diseases like multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lymphoid thyroiditis, etc.

How DMSO helps the body

Because this is a solvent and has the ability to carry things directly to the bloodstream, not only can DMSO help drive good stuff in (like castor oil if it is applied before the DMSO) but can also soften tissues like scars!

 

Why Jini at Listen to Your Gut has found DMSO so effective with gut issues is that this solvent can help clear inflammation (especially when applied topically to a scar or stricture) and is amazing at softening tissue which is why many with scrictures hemorrhoids or the like have gotten relief. Many scars harden up and therefore cause blockages when in the intestinal walls. When you can soften them and lower the inflammation, relief can follow for that client as the blockages can begin to heal.

 

Here is a video of the founder of CCL with Jini Patel Thompson that discusses the protocols and how to use them to maximize results!

Safety precautions & Side effects

We consider Jini at Listen To Your Gut to be one of the DMSO experts so please read all she has to say.

WARNING direct from Jini:

“DMSO will transport instantly into the cells anything it comes in contact with. So only store DMSO in glass, wash hands with natural soap before handling, only use unvarnished wood, stainless steel or glass to apply – avoid plastics or anything that contains synthetic chemicals that could be transported into your body.

Solution dropped from a glass dropper and then spread around using clean fingers works well.

Or a natural fiber paintbrush dipped into a glass bottle of DMSO and painted on. Wash the paintbrush each time after use with natural dish soap and hot water, and air dry.

Some people advocate the use of natural rubber or latex gloves when applying DMSO. This can work, but you need to do a test first to see if the glove is resistant to DMSO. So a common laboratory trick is to fill the finger of the glove with DMSO, and hang it upside down overnight, so the DMSO stays in the finger cavity. In the morning, if the DMSO has NOT eaten through the glove, then that glove material is safe to use with DMSO.

Only use a high-quality, pure grade of DMSO that comes in a glass bottle. We use DMSO Inc. brand.”

Dr. Stanley Jacobs has some great advice about using DMSO while pregnant:

“I don’t recommend that pregnant women use DMSO in any way. But I will say that I’ve had hundreds of patients call me who were worried about whether DMSO would impact a pregnancy because they had become unexpectedly pregnant while going through a series of DMSO treatments. I’ve always asked them to call me back after their child is born and, in all of this time, none has reported that their pregnancy was negatively affected. If you’ve accidentally taken DMSO while pregnant, it may be comforting to know that we haven’t seen any abnormalities from the DMSO.”

Side Effects

 

DMSO can cause skin irritation, dryness, or itching and smells very strongly…similar to garlic. If you get skin irritation please read this blog as Jini offers some options for this.

Tips from Jini at Listen To Your Gut

 

Jini says:

“It is a very potent substance, you need to be careful handling it since it transports into the cells pretty much any substance it comes in contact with. Here are a few nuggets about DMSO:

* After application, anywhere on the body, you can taste DMSO on the tip of your tongue within 30 seconds – it travels through the bloodstream that fast.

* DMSO binds to free radicals and forms a substance (dimethyl sulfone plus water with the hydroxyl ion) that is readily excreted through urine.

* DMSO substitutes for water, so it pulls substances through cells that ordinarily would not move through them. The DMSO-water bond is 1.3 times stronger than the water-water bond.

* DMSO is readily absorbed via topical (skin) or oral application. However, absorption is even better from the GI tract (oral).”

For gut-related treatments, we consult Jini’s protocols all the time! We like to use her protocols on DMSO in our program here at CCL (see below) so make sure to read them over and consult one of our professional coaches before use:

 

To see all of her treatment protocols take a look at which one of the categories apply to you:

A real-life experience with DMSO from one of our community members!

One of our clients had some very serious GI issues. Become inspired as we have by her amazing journey!

“I’ve had two major surgeries where together they’ve removed around 3.5 feet of my intestines (mostly small, some large) . These surgeries were done in 1998 and 2007. Inflammation has never truly been diminished.”

She began the topical and at times the oral stricture protocol. Notice her experience with DMSO:

“At first, it was hot on my stomach. Tingled and left a small rash but the following day the rash looked better due to the castor oil. When I first started, the area of my scar tissue would grow large (the best way to explain it is like a baby kicking in the womb) but then shrink back to size within a minute. My stomach would also grumble.

Now my scar tissue area does not move or grumble at all. The outer layer of the scar is soft to the touch.”

She continues even now on the oral protocol to maximize the efforts of her scar tissue! It is so amazing when we receive so much great feedback from our members!
