Focus On DMSO

DMSO amazed me by healing my torn Achilles tendon and three torn ligaments without other medical intervention. I was about to have surgery to fix these injuries, but now I don't need to. My foot surgeon, Dr. Robert Joseph, had never seen an Achilles tear where the foot was not immobilized or ligaments that were torn heal by themselves without surgery. He confirmed by MRI analysis that it happened, though, and said I could quote him.

Drinking DMSO
On another note, after reading DMSO: Nature's Healer by Dr. Morton Walker about how people with rheumatoid arthritis are treated by DMSO doctors in Oregon and sent home to drink a little DMSO every day, and after my own careful review, I began to drink one teaspoon of DMSO in a cup of orange juice occasionally, usually only when there is something painful or inflammatory going on in my body. I don't want to smell like DMSO all the time, so I reserve its use somewhat. (DMSO tastes terrible, so it must be diluted with something flavored, like orange juice.)

The first thing I noticed was the clearing up of an odd problem I was having with small pimple-like irritations on the back of my head. I'd have one to five of them appear occasionally. I tried everything from antibiotic cleansers to white vinegar to Listerine to control them with some success, but rarely did I get rid of them entirely. My dermatologist cultured them and found nothing unusual and admitted to me that he had the same problem a few years ago without being able to find a solution.

Drinking a cup of orange juice with a teaspoon of DMSO in it once a day clears them up entirely within a few days. DMSO has strong anti-inflammatory properties as well as being anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Maybe that's why drinking DMSO clears them up.

Anti-Aging?
The core of cellular aging is inflammation, so I don't think it's going too far out on a limb to hypothesize that DMSO may be an anti-aging molecule, too, although I'm sure that FDA wouldn't like me saying that. But I do think it has anti-aging effects and this is one other reason I drink it occasionally.

However, one friend was drinking a couple teaspoons and more a day and found that he experienced dry, flakey skin on his face and head, so he reduced the amount. A small amount, like a teaspoon a day is all that's required for its effects, and it's possible that more would cause drying, as it can when applied at full strength multiple times over several days topically.
