DMSO is absorbed through the skin and enters the blood stream by osmosis through capillary
walls. It is then distributed through the circulatory system, and ultimately is excreted through
the urine. It has been used successfully in the treatment of brain and spinal cord damage;
arthritis, Down syndrome, sciatica and other back problems, keloids, acne, burns, musculoskeletal
problems, sports injuries, cancer, sinusitis, headaches, skin ulcers, herpes, and cataracts.
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is a byproduct of wood processing for papermaking. It is a somewhat
oily liquid that looks like mineral oil and has a slightly garlicky odor. Because it is an
excellent solvent, it is widely used as a degreaser, paint thinner, and antifreeze. However, it
also has remarkable therapeutic properties, especially for the healing of injuries. Applying
DMSO on sprained ankles, pulled muscles, dislocated joints, and even at the site of simple
fractures can virtually eliminate the pain. It also promotes immune system activity.
