DMSO: My Multi-Purpose Miracle Liquid

Hi Peter! So, I've been slathering DMSO ( I bought on my skin and dabbing it in my eyes twice a day like it's some kind of mystical elixir—because apparently, I'm now part of the "glow like a firefly, see like a hawk" club. Our journey together began eight months ago when I decided to test gravity mid-hike and turned my knee into abstract art. DMSO swooped in like a biochemical superhero, playing the role of "I'm not a doctor, but I play one in my bathroom."

But wait—there's more! My six rescue dogs (yes, six… I collect needy furballs like they're Pokémon) also get the DMSO treatment when they're feeling off. I adjust the concentration -100%, 70%-50% for me and 70% 50% for my furry kids.

Oh, and sometimes I'll swirl a drop in my mouth like a weird, medicinal wine tasting when my tooth is acting up. Speaking of weird, my wobbly tooth has been getting the DMSO homemade toothpaste (50%) treatment, and so far, it's hanging on like a determined koala. Is it healing, or just clinging out of spite? Science may never know. I believe in re-minerizing my tooth (i had a root canal done long time ago) and refuse to part with it and replace it with a fake one.

The best part? No funky garlic smell—which, according to the internet, makes me either lucky or a mutant. Also, zero side effects, unless you count my dogs judging me hard every time I uncap the bottle. ("Here she comes with the weird liquid again…")

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal DMSO fanfic—not medical advice. Do your research (I read four books and scoured the internet. Yes - you can call me a nerd), proceed when you are comfortable and have trust with DMSO (my swiss army knife.)Knowledge, intention and belief are needed when I try something new.

Bluenite, ahoj. I have used DMSO. For skin, I am impressed with its ability to heal old scars. Also, I recently developed what may have been a cellulitis patch on my arm. Healed quickly. Also helps with postherpectic neuralgia. I have used it internally for a short time, but did not notice any effects.

Used it externally for sciatica, helped a lot. I don't worry about its ability to carry things in. Have reasonably clean skin, then apply with a finger, at 70% or so.

What have you tried?
