I knew DMSO had some useful applications, but this? Interesting.
Have you ever heard of a "P.E.T. Scan?" When using a PET Scan a technician will give a cancer patient a solution of radioactive glucose (i.e. a radioactive tracer or tagged glucose). Since cancer cells consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells, the cancer cells will absorb 15 times more of this radioactive glucose than normal cells.
The result is that when they do the PET Scan the cancer cells show up in the X-Ray.
Orthodox medicine thus knows how to target cancer cells. If orthodox medicine were truly interested in curing cancer, don't you think they would look for ways to "tag" glucose in such a way that the glucose targeted cancer cells and killed them? In other words, don't you think orthodox medicine would look for a way to target cancer cells with the intent to kill the cancer cells rather than simply have them show up on an X-Ray?
Such a cancer treatment does exist!! But rather than use glucose it uses DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide). Essentially:
1) The DMSO "binds" to (i.e. chemically attaches to) certain kinds of chemotherapy drugs, then
2) The DMSO (which always targets cancer cells) will target the cancer cells, and
3) The DMSO will drag the chemotherapy into the cancer cells, and
4) The chemotherapy (which is now able to target cancer cells) will kill the cancer cells.
Normally, chemotherapy targets "fast-growing" cells, meaning normally chemotherapy does NOT target cancer cells. But wih this treatment chemotherapy targets only cancer cells. Only very small doses of chemotherapy are needed and there are no side-effects from the chemotherapy since all of the chemotherapy targets cancer cells.
There was actually a medical doctor who used this DMSO / chemotherapy treatment (i.e. which I call "DMSO Potentiation Therapy"). But rather than give that medical doctor the Nobel Prize for curing cancer, the FDA raided his office and shut him down permanently.
A Brief Introduction to DMSO
The orthodox medical community claims to be looking for a "magic bullet" that helps chemotherapy target cancer cells. Why is finding a "magic bullet" so important?
Chemotherapy does not target cancer cells, and because of this, chemotherapy:
1) Kills far more normal cells than cancer cells, and
2) Damages and toxifies many of the normal cells that do survive.
Thus, if a substance could be found that helps chemotherapy target cancer cells, FAR LESS chemotherapy would be needed and the patient would have VIRTUALLY ZERO SIDE-EFFECTS from chemotherapy. This is both because less chemotherapy would be needed and because only the cancer cells would be affected by the chemotherapy, meaning normal cells would not be damaged and killed by chemotherapy!!!!!
In addition to all of this, if such a substance were found and used the "true cure rate" for orthodox medicine would rise from 3% to above 90%!! Most cancer patients die because of the complications of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Because of the way chemotherapy works, doctors cannot give enough chemotherapy to cure cancer because the patient would die from the side-effects BEFORE the cancer was cured. A "magic bullet" would solve all of these problems.
If such a "magic bullet" were used FIRST by orthodox medicine, meaning the cut/burn/slash treatments were avoided (except in rare cases where there is imminent danger from a tumor blocking fluids or pressing against something), a 90% true cure rate would be easy to achieve. In fact, with alternative medicine, for those people who know what they are doing, a 90% cure rate, by those who avoid orthodox medicine, is very easy to achieve. Orthodox medicine could do the same thing if they found and used a magic bullet.
But the fact of the matter is that the leaders in the medical community have absolutely no interest in finding a "magic bullet." A "magic bullet" would cost the drug companies hundreds of billions of dollars, patients would have less hospitalization, less doctor visits, etc. The fact is, no one wants a "magic bullet" to be found. The evidence that this is true is that two "magic bullets" are already known to exist, but no one is using them except for a handful of doctors.
Insulin Potentiation Therapy
For example, in the 1940s it was discovered that cancer can be treated with insulin. Soon after it was found out why. Insulin helps certain kinds of chemotherapy target the cancer cells by making it much easier for the chemotherapy to get inside of cancer cells!! This led to the development of Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT).
"Beyond these metabolic effects of insulin here, what is further considered to be operative is that at least some of the ten thousand fold increase in the cytotoxic effect of methotrexate [a chemotherapy drug] is due to an increased intracellular concentration of the drug due to insulin's physiological action in altering cell membrane permeability. It is thought that this effect exists on account of the insulin receptors on the cancer cell membranes, and that these facilitate the transmembrane transport of the chemotherapeutic drug into the intracellular compartment of these breast cancer cells."

In the early days of IPT a person had to be put into an insulin coma in order for IPT to be effective. This is no longer the case, but the orthodox medical community still ignores this treatment.
Article on IPT
DMSO
No later than 1968, it was discovered that there was another product that could target cancer cells, but this product actually bound to the chemotherapy. In this article (which will be linked to below):
"Haematoxylon [a dye] Dissolved in Dimethylsulfoxide [DMSO] Used in Recurrent Neoplasms [i.e. cancer cells or tumor cells]," by E. J. Tucker, M.D., F.A.C.S., and A. Carrizo, M.D. in International Surgery, June 1968, Vol 49, No. 6, page 516-527
it was shown that DMSO targeted cancer cells!! Is it any wonder that the referee of the article stated:
"In spite of my criticisms, there are some parts of this study which do interest me very much. The fact that the Haematoxylon [a color die, which allowed the researchers to see which cells absorbed the DMSO and haematoxylon] and D.M.S.O. solution had a particular affinity for neoplasms [i.e. cancerous cells], and did not stain other tissues in animals could be most significant."
In other words, these researchers had discovered something that could bind to chemotherapy and then target cancer cells. They had found a second "magic bullet"!!
The combination of DMSO and Haematoxylon was being used as a cure for cancer in this study. The combination performed very, very well. However, it was unfortunate that chemotherapy was used in many of the cases. Since DMSO binds to some types of chemotherapy (which was probably not known at the time), it is not know whether the success of the treatment was caused by the DMSO/chemotherapy combination or the DMSO/haematoxylon combination.
In any case, even though both DMSO and haematoxylon are purely non-toxic and purely natural (both come from trees), this is not a treatment that should be used at home. It can cause severe internal bleeding in some cases. It is far beyond the scope of this article to get into the use of this treatment.
The point is that the "magic bullet" had been found, which this website calls "DMSO Potentiation Therapy (DPT)." Obviously, further research using DMSO and chemotherapy, or DMSO and haematoxylon, never happened.
Why don't you ask your oncologist why research on the magic bullet discovered in 1968 was not followed up on!! You might mention the scientific study discussed above.
In later studies DMSO was found to be a superb potentiator of Adriamycin, Cisplatin, 5 Fluorouracil, and Methotrexate, and others. For more information about DMSO and chemotherapy see the excellent book (which talks about both IPT and DMSO being combined with chemotherapy):
Treating Cancer With Insulin Potentiation Therapy, by Ross A. Hauser, M.D. and Marion A. Hauser, M.S.
Absolutely nothing has been done about these discoveries for almost 40 years!! The complete article discussing DMSO and Haematoxylon can be found at:
The Original DMSO and Haematoxylon Journal Article
You might ask your oncologist why your chances of survival are only 3% (ignoring all of their statistical gibberish such as "5-year survival rates" and deceptive terms like "remission" and "response"), when your chance of survival would be over 90% if they used DMSO with very small doses of chemotherapy.
It would be better for medical doctors to treat cancer patients with the right treatment than to have patients treat themselves at home. Medical doctors can diagnose better, treat better, watch for developing problems better, etc. Unfortunately, doctors are using treatments that have been chosen solely on the basis of their profitability rather than their effectiveness.
DMSO is a highly non-toxic, 100% natural product that comes from the wood industry. But of course, like IPT, this discovery was buried. DMSO, being a natural product, cannot be patented and cannot be made profitable because it is produced by the ton in the wood industry. The only side-effect of using DMSO in humans is body odor (which varies from patient to patient).
The FDA took note of the effectiveness of DMSO at treating pain and made it illegal for medical uses in order to protect the profits of the aspirin companies (in those days aspirin was used to treat arthritis). Thus, it must be sold today as a "solvent." Few people can grasp the concept that government agencies are organized for the sole purpose of being the "police force" of large, corrupt corporations.
While it is generally believed that orthodox medicine and modern corrupt politicians persecute alternative medicine, this is not technically correct. What they do is persecute ANY cure for cancer, it doesn't matter whether it is orthodox or alternative. The proof of this is IPT and DMSO, which can both be combined with chemotherapy. It appears that orthodox medicine persecutes alternative medicine only because there are far more alternative cancer treatments that can cure cancer than orthodox treatments.
Another substance that targets cancer cells is being researched at Purdue University and other places: folic acid. This too will be buried unless it can lead to MORE PROFITABLE cancer treatments.
But alternative medicine is not interested in combining DMSO with chemotherapy. DMSO will combine with many substances, grab them, and drag them into cancer cells. It will also blast through the blood-brain barrier like it wasn't even there.
DMSO has been combined successfully with hydrogen peroxide (e.g. see Donsbach), cesium chloride, MSM (though it may not bind to MSM), and other products.
(Note: The issue has come up several times whether it would be a good idea to mix DMSO with full-strength chemotherapy. This question generally comes up when someone wants to take cesium chloride and DMSO with their chemotherapy. The theory would lean against such advice, however, in actual practice many patients on chemotherapy have also taken DMSO. It does not seem to cause a problem, but whether the DMSO binds to the chemotherapy would depend on which chemotherapy was being used. DMSO does not bind to every type of chemotherapy, only certain kinds (the exact kinds are not totally known because the FDA forced all research on DMSO to stop).
DPT and IPT
DMSO Potentiation Therapy (DPT) is generally not used by itself. When it is used, it is generally used in combination with Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). These two treatments are very synergistic because the DMSO binds to chemotherapy and the insulin opens up the membranes of the cancer cells.
The result of combining these two treatments is that there is a double effect on the chemotherapy targeting the cancer cells and getting inside the cancer cells.
The book Treating Cancer With Insulin Potentiation Therapy, mentioned above, discusses which kinds of chemotherapy bind to DMSO and it talks about which kinds of chemotherapy work best with insulin.
DMSO and MSM
DMSO and MSM, when used together, have been shown to cause cancer cells in vitro to revert back to being normal cells. The only way this can happen is if they kill the microbe(s) inside of the cancer cell and/or completely reverse the anaerobic metabolism.
However, the only treatment designed to take advantage of this discovery is still an experimental treatment. It is not experimental due to toxicity, it is perfectly safe to use, it is only experimental in the sense that no one knows yet how to convert what was discovered in the lab into an actual cancer treatment.
It is also not known whether MSM actually helps the DMSO revert cancer cells into normal cells. DMSO, by itself, has been shown to revert many types of cancer cells into normal cells.
Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol
DMSO is generally used in alternative medicine with liquid ionic cesium chloride. See:
Cesium Chloride Protocol
DMSO helps cesium chloride get inside of cancer cells, though cesium chloride is perfectly capable of doing this by itself. What DMSO is really used for is to get the cesium chloride through the skin, into the blood stream. Neither cesium chloride nor DMSO should be taken orally, thus it is a perfect marriage to mix the two together and let the DMSO carry the cesium chloride through the skin.
DMSO is especially effective with brain cancer patients because of how quickly it gets past the blood-brain barrier, but it can be used productively with any type of cancer.
In a case study, one brain cancer patient had a tumor in his brain pressing against one of his optic nerves. When he mixed DMSO with the cesium chloride he could literally feel the cesium chloride and DMSO getting into his tumor within 15 minutes. He could feel it because his tumor was pressing against an optic nerve.
DMSO should be used only as a topical application to the skin, but NOT near where any dense concentrations of cancer cells are and NOT touching any surface cancer cells. DMSO will penetrate the skin and help get the cesium chloride, and many other alternative cancer treatments, into the cancer cells.
If you use DMSO you may get a rash. Just spray some water on the rash and it will go away. The rash is caused by the DMSO dehydrating the skin.
DMSO should not be taken orally unless it is mixed with at least 8 ounces (i.e. 1 cup) of water or some type of juice. Even seventy percent DMSO (actually it is 99.9% pure DMSO, mixed with 30% distilled water) could cause dehydration in the digestive tract unless it is mixed with enough water or juice! DMSO should never be taken orally for more than a short time. Even when taken with enough liquids it will cause stomach problems!
It is highly advised that the Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol be used under the direction of an expert, either by telephone or in a clinic setting. For all practical purposes, the FDA and AMA have shut down the use of cesium chloride and DMSO in a clinic setting inside the U.S. Thus, in the U.S. there is no choice but to use a vendor who is an expert in safely using the protocol. The Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol goes into this issue in more depth, but keep this critical issue in mind!
Note: Due to the FDA harassment of DMSO (and by the way, a lot of research on DMSO has been suppressed), vendors of DMSO cannot sell it for medical reasons. Thus, when you visit a web site that sells DMSO it will be sold as a "solvent." Do not be concerned, DMSO is an all natural product and is absolutely nontoxic at recommended dosages.
DMSO Protocol and Safety Warnings
DMSO is an amazing product. Unfortunately, there are some strong warnings that go with its use. Do not be alarmed by these safety warning, they are easy to implement.
First, pregnant women, women who may be pregnant, women who may become pregnant, or women who are nursing, should not use DMSO - period! Even though there is no evidence that DMSO causes birth defects, the similarity between early fetal cells and cancer cells is so great that it is better to err on the side of caution.
Second, do NOT let it come into contact with your eyes. Again, there is no evidence this will cause problems, but it is better to err on the side of caution.
Third, do NOT use plastic, latex or rubber gloves, or any other kind of gloves, when handling DMSO. The DMSO may bind to the gloves and take the substance into your cells causing severe illness. A technician who was working with the scientists who originally discovered DMSO became very sick from handling the newly discovered DMSO with lab gloves. While some surgical gloves may be of such quality that they can be used to handle DMSO, if you use any type of gloves you do so at your own risk.
However, these rules create a problem. It is highly advised to use gloves when administering DMSO on the skin or else the hands will become very wrinkled. Fortunately, there are simple tests to see if the DMSO is binding to the gloves and creating a danger.
If the person rubbing the DMSO onto the skin of a cancer patient wants to use a plastic, latex or rubber glove, there are two simple ways to test if the DMSO is binding to the plastic, latex or rubber. First, you can soak one finger tip of the glove in DMSO for 24 hours. If there is no damage to the glove after the test it is OK to use. Or you can pour some DMSO into the inside finger tip of the glove for 24 hours. Then turn the glove inside-out and see if there is any damage where the DMSO was. If not, it is OK to use.
Fourth, do NOT let the DMSO come into contact with any type of clothing or anything else.
In short, it should go straight from the bottle, into a mixing glass (made of glass, wood, ceramic or metal) and then the mixed product should be put on the skin, but not above or touching any cancer cells.
The following substances are always safe to use with DMSO: GLASS, WOOD, CERAMIC or METAL containers.
Rigid plastic containers are generally safe to use as well, such as spray bottles. In fact, spray bottles, of glass, rigid plastic or metal, are the preferred way of administering DMSO. Of course, it will still need to be spread by hand.
Having said all of that DMSO is a superb product and very safe to use if you take reasonable precautions.
The DMSO can be purchased as a liquid, gel or cream. The rules are the same for each.
Important Notes About Purchasing DMSO
It is very important that the DMSO you purchase has not had anything added to it to make it unsuitable for human consumption. Most commercial vendors in the U.S. do sell "food grade" DMSO, meaning it is safe for human consumption. However, I should emphasize that DMSO vendors cannot advertise their product is for human consumption because the FDA, as part of their effort to destroy alternative medicine, has outlawed DMSO for human consumption. Vendors must sell DMSO as a "solvent." The way you can tell whether it is food grade, is this: if the vendor also sells DMSO cream/gel in a jar, and has safety warnings, then all of their DMSO is food grade unless otherwise stated.
This is a key issue especially for those outside of the U.S. Every country has different laws and different procedures for the manufacture of DMSO. Outside of the U.S. the DMSO vendors probably do not sell the DMSO cream in a jar, thus you will have to ask them, or look for documentation, that it is safe for human consumption.
Here is an important comment about DMSO:
"The first quality that struck Dr. Jacob about the drug was its ability to pass through membranes, an ability that has been verified by numerous subsequent researchers. DMSO's ability to do this varies proportionally with its strength--up to a 90 percent solution. From 70 percent to 90 percent has been found to be the most effective strength across the skin, and, oddly, performance drops with concentrations higher than 90 percent. Lower concentrations are sufficient to cross other membranes. Thus, 15 percent DMSO will easily penetrate the bladder.
In addition, DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. This property would enable DMSO to act as a new drug delivery system that would lower the risk of infection occurring whenever skin is penetrated."
http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm
Here is a DMSO vendor of both liquid and cream (the liquid is 99.9% pure DMSO mixed with 30% distilled water, meaning it is 70% pure DMSO and 30% distilled water). The reason 70% is chosen is because it is less harsh on your skin and it is still a mixture that will be absorbed well by the skin.
Of course, as mentioned above, it is sold only as a solvent:

Thus, when you visit a web site that sells DMSO it will be sold as a "solvent." Do not be concerned, DMSO is an all natural product and is absolutely nontoxic at recommended dosages.
DMSO Protocol and Safety Warnings
DMSO is an amazing product. Unfortunately, there are some strong warnings that go with its use. Do not be alarmed by these safety warning, they are easy to implement.
First, pregnant women, women who may be pregnant, women who may become pregnant, or women who are nursing, should not use DMSO - period! Even though there is no evidence that DMSO causes birth defects, the similarity between early fetal cells and cancer cells is so great that it is better to err on the side of caution.
Second, do NOT let it come into contact with your eyes. Again, there is no evidence this will cause problems, but it is better to err on the side of caution.
Third, do NOT use plastic, latex or rubber gloves, or any other kind of gloves, when handling DMSO. The DMSO may bind to the gloves and take the substance into your cells causing severe illness. A technician who was working with the scientists who originally discovered DMSO became very sick from handling the newly discovered DMSO with lab gloves. While some surgical gloves may be of such quality that they can be used to handle DMSO, if you use any type of gloves you do so at your own risk.
However, these rules create a problem. It is highly advised to use gloves when administering DMSO on the skin or else the hands will become very wrinkled. Fortunately, there are simple tests to see if the DMSO is binding to the gloves and creating a danger.
If the person rubbing the DMSO onto the skin of a cancer patient wants to use a plastic, latex or rubber glove, there are two simple ways to test if the DMSO is binding to the plastic, latex or rubber. First, you can soak one finger tip of the glove in DMSO for 24 hours. If there is no damage to the glove after the test it is OK to use. Or you can pour some DMSO into the inside finger tip of the glove for 24 hours. Then turn the glove inside-out and see if there is any damage where the DMSO was. If not, it is OK to use.
Fourth, do NOT let the DMSO come into contact with any type of clothing or anything else.
In short, it should go straight from the bottle, into a mixing glass (made of glass, wood, ceramic or metal) and then the mixed product should be put on the skin, but not above or touching any cancer cells.
The following substances are always safe to use with DMSO: GLASS, WOOD, CERAMIC or METAL containers.
Rigid plastic containers are generally safe to use as well, such as spray bottles. In fact, spray bottles, of glass, rigid plastic or metal, are the preferred way of administering DMSO. Of course, it will still need to be spread by hand.
Having said all of that DMSO is a superb product and very safe to use if you take reasonable precautions.
The DMSO can be purchased as a liquid, gel or cream. The rules are the same for each.
Important Notes About Purchasing DMSO
It is very important that the DMSO you purchase has not had anything added to it to make it unsuitable for human consumption. Most commercial vendors in the U.S. do sell "food grade" DMSO, meaning it is safe for human consumption. However, I should emphasize that DMSO vendors cannot advertise their product is for human consumption because the FDA, as part of their effort to destroy alternative medicine, has outlawed DMSO for human consumption. Vendors must sell DMSO as a "solvent." The way you can tell whether it is food grade, is this: if the vendor also sells DMSO cream/gel in a jar, and has safety warnings, then all of their DMSO is food grade unless otherwise stated.
This is a key issue especially for those outside of the U.S. Every country has different laws and different procedures for the manufacture of DMSO. Outside of the U.S. the DMSO vendors probably do not sell the DMSO cream in a jar, thus you will have to ask them, or look for documentation, that it is safe for human consumption.
Here is an important comment about DMSO:
"The first quality that struck Dr. Jacob about the drug was its ability to pass through membranes, an ability that has been verified by numerous subsequent researchers. DMSO's ability to do this varies proportionally with its strength--up to a 90 percent solution. From 70 percent to 90 percent has been found to be the most effective strength across the skin, and, oddly, performance drops with concentrations higher than 90 percent. Lower concentrations are sufficient to cross other membranes. Thus, 15 percent DMSO will easily penetrate the bladder.
In addition, DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. This property would enable DMSO to act as a new drug delivery system that would lower the risk of infection occurring whenever skin is penetrated."

Here is a DMSO vendor of both liquid and cream (the liquid is 99.9% pure DMSO mixed with 30% distilled water, meaning it is 70% pure DMSO and 30% distilled water). The reason 70% is chosen is because it is less harsh on your skin and it is still a mixture that will be absorbed well by the skin.
Of course, as mentioned above, it is sold only as a solvent:
**broken link removed** [70% DMSO liquid]
**broken link removed** [70% DMSO gel with Aloe]
**broken link removed** [Other DMSO Products]
, and found on my own that it cleared up some painful joints. So now I know for sure that it was the DMSO that was working to relieve some of that pain. This stuff really does work, but as others have said it makes you smell terrible. Even your sweat starts to stink like garlic and it seems to permeate every pore of your being!
