DMSO

 DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide)

History

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was first synthesized in 1866 by the Russian scientist Dr. Alexander Saytzeff, who reported his findings in a German chemistry journal in 1867. From there DMSO languished unnoticed in obscurity for 81 years! After World War II, chemists began to take note of the remarkable versatility of DMSO. DMSO is basically a solvent made from the sap of trees (woodpulp). They noticed it could dissolve almost anything and carry it in solution.

In the 1960s, medical research with DMSO showed it could not only dissolve substances, but it could also penetrate human skin and carry the dissolved substances along with it! This is remarkable, because human skin is impenetrable to most substances.

Bodybuilding applications

I hear you thinking, interesting, but what is the use of DMSO in bodybuilding? DMSO’s remarkable ability to transfer substances through the human skin into the system gave innovative bodybuilders an idea. They where trying to extract  the active ingredients from veterinary pellets (pellets shot underneath the skin of cattle to perform muscle [meet] grow. Especially the Fina pellets, that contained Trenbolone acetate had their warm interest. It was extracted with acetone and then injected but the removal of the steroid crystals from the cellulose fillers was a tough job. Some even tried to bring the pellets into their ass as a suppository to dissolve it. Bodybuilders soon showed their bro’s how to crush the tabs and transfer it into their system with help of DMSO. Once raw powders (Active ingredients  API) became more easy available through the internet and underground-labs this unhealthy practice disappeared. In the short free available pro-hormone period we saw it used again to homebrew steroid transdermals. In my opinion it is a waste that bodybuilders stopped using DMSO. It is one of the many alternative steroid delivery systems.

Its value is threefold in nature in that as an anti-inflammatory agent or analgesic it seems to reduce swelling, heat and pain and at a very quick rate, it is a very potent solvent that has the ability to put almost anything into solution in high concentrations,  plus it works by carrying substances through the skin into the body.

This of course is accomplished only if a medical grade of DMSO that is 90-95% pure. Anything less than medical grade [industrial or un-pure] can lead to some toxic reactions due to the cadmium, lead and other toxic metal contaminants, non-medical DMSO also contains acetone and acid contaminants.

At 90-95% pure, DMSO is very concentrated, to say the least, and can cause major skin irritation to many individuals. It is therefore a good idea to dilute it down with distilled water, [Not tap water!] to at least a 70% solution and more probable to a 50/50 ratio of distilled water to solvent for best results.

Prior to the actually application of DMSO carefully wash the area of the body where it will be applied, with a mild, non-detergent soap and water. Rinse with water and dry the area. The reason for washing the  inflamed area is that DMSO has the unique capability to carry substances on the skin surface, such as dirt, into the body. It can also carry the fibers from cotton or cosmetic puffs into the body as well. Your best bet here is to use a gauze pad for the application of the DMSO.

All applications should be done with a cotton swab allowing sufficient time after the solution is painted on to allow for absorption through the skin before covering with clothes. Remember, DMSO is a powerful solvent, and it will take the dye right out of your clothes and deposit it in your skin where you will have to wait for it to grow out.  When you apply DMSO, everything that goes in the DMSO gets transferred into the system, that includes germs, bacteria, air born viruses etc.

Despite the rejection of DMSO by the American medical establishment, this simple solvent is far from finished. Legally, it can only be sold as a solvent, but sufferers of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are using it with regularity, usually having heard of it from a friend and fellow arthritis sufferer. Only medical grade — never industrial grade — should be used on the human body due to the diverse contaminants present in the industrial grade product. A bottle will cost you only a few dollars and will save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in doctor and pharmacy bills. No wonder the medical establishment is lined up against it!

When you consider the fact that DMSO is not a new and patentable drug, is cheap, safe and effective, and knowing what you should know about the medical establishment in the U.S., you could predict with your eyes closed that there is a propaganda campaign against DMSO.

How does DMSO work?

For one thing it neutralizes hydroxyl radicals. "So what?" you say? It turns out hydroxyl free radicals are the predominant cause of pain and inflammation in arthritis. Although DMSO is not known to cure cancer, it is true hydroxyl free radicals are present in cancer and in atherosclerosis. Hydroxyl radicals also are known to be produced in lipid peroxidation, which is thought to be the source of many degenerative diseases.  Bodybuilders use to treat their painful joints like the shoulder and elbow.

It also turns out DMSO is more "liquid" than water, and it can therefore penetrate to places in the body nothing else can reach so fast. DMSO substitutes for water and moves rapidly through cell membranes. It has been called "water's alter ego." This ability probably is what makes DMSO so unique as to be an entirely new therapeutic principle.

DMSO changes the water structure within the cell. Water exists in two basic structures, one more highly organized and one less organized. It may be that DMSO shifts the equilibrium between these two states of water toward the more organized form and thus speeds up the living processes of the cell, allowing healing to happen in a much accelerated fashion.

It was also shown to relieve pain and swelling, relax muscles, relieve arthritis, improve blood supply and it has an antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effect.  It relieves the pain of sprains and even of broken bones. It enhances the effectiveness of other pharmacological agents. If you apply DMSO to a bruise, the bruise dissolves and disappears in a matter of minutes!  If you apply it to the jaw after wisdom tooth removal, all pain and swelling is prevented! The pain of acute gout can be handled with the application of 5 cc of seventy percent DMSO in water four times each day. Application to a fever blister results in rapid resolution of this problem. DMSO also relieves the pain of minor burns and if applied soon after the burn happens, will decrease the tissue damage suffered. It also prevents the contracture of scar tissue following burns. DMSO speeds all healing, approximately doubling or tripling all healing responses.

I have personally felt, and you may more than likely, the therapeutic relief of DMSO in a matter of minutes and at most one hour after an application. Always remember though that DMSO is not the answer to a professional medical and sports evaluation!

Besides the great relief provided for sufferers of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, burns, sprains, back and neck problems, there are more exotic uses for DMSO.  It serves as an excellent antifreeze, preventing tissue damage ordinarily caused by freezing conditions. It controls the swelling of the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injury. If given intravenously within ninety minutes of a stroke, it prevents much of what would become permanent damage to the central nervous system. Applied topically, repeatedly, it will flatten a raised keloid scar.

Side effects

DMSO was used as a cheap pain reliever ( as written above) in the 1960’s and 1970’s until scientist discovered in animal tests that it caused eye damage when used for a long duration and in high doses.

A major drawback regarding DMSO is its smell. It is best compared to the smell of fresh garlic. After it has reacted with the body, the odour appears in magnified form on the breath and through the skin. This lasts for three days from the last treatment with DMSO. This is not the stuff you will want to take just before going out on a hot date. This odour of DMSO probably is a blessing in disguise. It makes a person stop and think before using it and probably prevents indiscriminate use of this wonderful medical miracle substance. Remember to wash your hands afterwards. The less on your skin the less chance of becoming Mr.Ass.

The skin of the face, neck and intertriginous zones (where skin rubs against skin) are highly sensitive to DMSO and should be exposed only to dilute solutions (with distilled water) of fifty percent or less. Everyone responds differently to DMSO, some complain that their skin gets irritated, dry bumpy and red. Any skin irritation associated with the application of DMSO can be treated topically with aloe vera  gel. Most develop only a little dryness of the skin at the application site. You can easily avoid that dryness by rotating the application site.

Where do I apply the DMSO?

That depends for what you want to use DMSO. Now days DMSO is mostly diluted used for pain relief  (joints) and as a enhancer of transdermal crème. It  is added to PLO-gel or alcohol based gels (10 –25%) to enhance its affectivity.

If it is used to transfer steroids, mostly (stanozolol (Winstrol), TNE ( Test No Ester or testosterone base) or short estrified (by example propionate) steroids. Then it is applicated on the insides of the elbows, inside of the thighs and the back of the knees. It is also applied at the inside of the ankle over the big veins.

When the DMSO is part of the carrier that contains more exotic ingredients such as PGF 2a or PG-CL (Hard Core Laboratories) you need to read the manual very carefully because application sites are very important here.

1. Apply after a hot shower.

2. Use a body scrub to get rid of dead skin- this should be done 2-3 times a week

3. It may be of some benefit to swab the area with diluted alcohol prior to admin- though this is probably only really beneficial if not applying after a shower.

4. The reason for washing/cleaning the used area is that the (DMSO containing) gel has the unique capability to carry substances on the skin surface, such as dirt, air- borne particles, or viruses into the body. It can also transfer the fibres and dye from cotton or cosmetic puffs into the body.

  I have an advertisement saved on my computer next to my article because I really liked..keep in mind that its is an add made by a company that wants to sell you their compound. I never bought it or used it So I don't know if it is any good nor if it really contains DMSO as labeled, just liked the add and want to share..

  Pain is a problem for so many people and yet dependable, safe and natural pain care can be hard to come by. Many options flat-out don't work, while others are downright dangerous and can have side effects that make many choose to just "deal" with their pain in order to avoid.

 It can be frustrating to find ways to manage pain wisely -- never mind expensive! But you're about to hear the story of a rediscovered substance that some have even called a "pain miracle". Once featured in prominent news sources, this hushed-up pain breakthrough has been used successfully for years by sports trainers and doctors who have reported amazing results. Twenty years ago, 60 Minutes showcased this "pain miracle" to 70 million viewers, and The New York Times hailed it in a lead editorial. Then it virtually disappeared from the halls of healthcare. WHY?

Outrageous but true! THIS RACEHORSE  gets better pain care than YOU...Our story starts with an outrageous fact about modern healthcare. When it comes to natural pain relief, the average American racehorse may get better treatment than you and your loved ones. Why? Because racehorses don't win when they're hurting -- and racing regulations forbid 'doping' with drugs like cortisone. As a result, great trainers are always looking for truly effective natural remedies. And their most valuable secret of all may be...

DMSO:An underground legend If you're especially health-savvy, you may have heard of DMSO. But did you know that its astonishing powers have been...? Praised by The New York Times, showcased on 60 Minutes... ...and shown safe and effective in over 1,200 scientific publications. Yes! So do let me fill you in on its fascinating history

DMSO is short for dimethyl sulfoxide -- an organic, sulfur-rich substance found in the woody part of trees. It was first discovered by a Russian researcher back in 1866. But the real excitement started about 100 years later, when American scientists started uncovering some truly startling properties...  First, they found it's absorbed with incredible ease.... When you put a bit on the back of your hand, it just plain disappears. Then Dr. H. Harry Szmant, Chairman of the University of Detroit's chemistry department, observed that it can speed up important chemical reactions 'a billionfold.' (Yes, a billion times -- that's what he said!) Next, people started noticing what happens after it's applied. Racehorse trainers began using it on lame animals, and reported amazing results. Professional sports trainers tried it and loved it too. The New York Times, in a lead editorial published on April 3, 1965, declared that DMSO is 'the closest thing to a [health] wonder produced in the 1960s.' Interest reached a fever pitch in 1980, when...

The hugely popular TV show 60 Minutes introduced 70 million TV viewers to 'THE RIDDLE OF DMSO' The reporter was Mike Wallace, who was (and is) famous for pulling no punches when he spots a fraud.  But Mike Wallace didn't trash DMSO. On the contrary, the people he interviewed gave very powerful personal testimonials. And the feedback from viewers was phenomenal.

One doctor's office reported up to 10,000 phone calls! But most shocking of all is what happened next.  Vested interests launched a ferocious campaign to discredit it, huge controversy erupted and... DMSO all but disappeared from  the halls of American health care... It went 'underground.' A few enlightened doctors continued to champion DMSO (see what one famed physician has to say about it below), and it became a word-of-mouth legend among well-informed insiders. Racehorse trainers still swear by it. Professional sports trainers still use it to get their million-dollar stars up and running again. Competition cyclists are rumored to carry little bottles tucked away in their tire-patch kits. Outside this inner circle, however, everyone else gradually forgot about DMSO... ...thanks to a brilliant health scientist named Jon Barron. For years, Barron had been researching the 'holy grail' of pain relief. A formula that could erase virtually any kind of pain on contact. Without waiting for pills to work. Just by rubbing it on. Together with fellow researcher Ron Manwarren, Barron had isolated 11 different cutting-edge botanical and organic compounds that all showed immense promise. They were so close! But they lacked the final piece of the puzzle. They needed the ultimate 'transporter' -- a compound that would blend all the others together and 'deliver' them to the pain site. They experimented with substance after substance... Finally, they tried DMSO -- and eureka! Success beyond their wildest dreams... Just as Dr. Szmant at the University of Detroit had predicted nearly 40 years before... DMSO proved to be a near-perfect solvent and transporter. It transformed Barron's pain-relief formula into the powerhouse that we know today as Soothanol X2. Now let's take a look at exactly how Soothanol X2 can rub out your pain on contact...

When the first drop hits your skin, you'll wonder 'WHOA! What's going on here!' What happens next is a matter of public record. Mary Stewart is just one of thousands who thought it might be impossible to... Rub out pain ON CONTACT...

How many times have you lain awake waiting for your pain pills to kick in? How often have you been driving, gardening or simply sitting at your desk, when BANG... You're suddenly ambushed by an unexpected flare-up!

And how many times have you
RUBBED WHERE IT HURTS...

And silently pleaded, 'Please! Make it stop!' Happens nearly every day, doesn't it? But what if one day you rubbed that spot and... 'Bingo! Pain relief!' Well, thanks to a breakthrough in pain research, that happy day has arrived. People like you are finding they can...

Literally rub away pain, as easily as
ERASING A BLACKBOARD...

..with as little as just 2 drops of an astonishing new discovery called Soothanol X2.

Yes, that's exactly what they're doing. And I'm writing this free online report to address any doubts that this breakthrough can work for YOU TOO. You're going to hear from a legion of real-life users, learn how the science behind it works -- and then get to try it yourself, RISK-FREE. So please do read on, because...

Even if you're delighted with your pain pills,
YOU NEED THIS BREAKTHROUGH...

WHY? Because even the perfect pain pill would still have one huge shortcoming... THE WAIT! And even if you're already taking a pill and it's actually working... WHAT ABOUT FLARE-UPS? What on earth do you do then? I mean...

PROBLEM:
You've already takenyour pills -- what's left?

Grit your teeth and bear it, right? Wrong! Not anymore... Thanks to a brilliant researcher named Jon Barron, it's now possible to...

SOLUTION:
Attack your pain directly...

Barron's breakthrough bypasses your digestive tract, and delivers a dozen natural powerhouses -- on contact. Addressing your pain at the source. Make sense? You bet! Now let me explain how this miracle happens. It all starts with a truly outrageous fact about modern healthcare...

The moment the first drop hits your skin, you'll wonder 'WHOA! What's going on here!' It's almost like watching a magic trick. Unlike lotions and goops that just sit there, Soothanol X2 disappears!

Where did it go? Straight to the trouble -- on contact! You can see and feel it going to work while you're still choking down your pain pills. That's no illusion. It's the scientific result of...

FIRST SECRET:
A 4-stage 'transporter system'
that leaves pills, lotions and
creams in the dust...

You see, each tiny drop of Soothanol X2 is a microscopic world of wonders. Packed with literally trillions of complex organic molecules, all working together in elegant synergy. These include...

Stage #1. DMSO: The astonishing 'key' that unlocks the doors of healing. Every rub-on needs a solvent to blend and carry the other ingredients -- unleashing their natural powers. And I've never heard of a natural substance that even comes close to DMSO. As you saw on the previous page, DMSO may multiply chemical reactions 'a billionfold.' So you only need a drop or two of Soothanol X2 to feel incredible results.

Stage #2. EMU OIL: The super-absorbent 'wonder from down under.' Back when T-Rex walked the earth, the odd-looking emu was already thriving -- and Australian aborigines have been using emu oil to rub away hurts for thousands of years. Lately, NBA teams have been discovering its powers. Players swear it has an uncanny effect on pain associated with swelling. We scientists are just beginning to puzzle out the reason why, but it's clear that emu oil is absorbed incredibly effectively.

Stage #3. ORANGE PEEL EXTRACT?! That's what I said! To be sure, this is no ordinary extract, but pH-balanced limonene oil. It feels soothing to your skin and smells wonderfully refreshing. Importantly, researcher Jon Barron found that limonene oil has an especially dense electromagnetic field. Concentrating Soothanol X2's powers even more.

Stage #4. VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: Ancient secret of hurting gladiators. It was also used by ancient Olympic athletes to relax their aching bodies. Modern biochemists tell us that olive oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, T-BARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and literally dozens of other nurturing compounds. Together, they form an ideal emollient -- softening the skin, contributing to Soothanol X2's silky texture, and helping the other transporters do their work.

So that's how Soothanol X2 gets down to pain-points you thought were unreachable. Like a four-stage rocket, it delivers relief where nothing went before. Now let's take a look at what happens after it hits your skin. You see, this 'pain-relief rocket'(tm) delivers...

Nothing else I know of even comes close. Common lotions or creams may contain one or two of these compounds. But Soothanol X2 delivers a dozen natural miracles in every drop, including...

CAYENNE: The fiery pepper that makes pain 'burn out'. Native Americans have used cayenne for at least 9,000 years. For good reason! Know the expression 'fight fire with fire'? Well, cayenne helps to 'burn up' a chemical in your body called 'substance P' -- a compound that carries pain messages to your brain. The cayenne in Soothanol X2 may warm and tingle your skin for bit. But soon these sensations vanish, along with your pain!

MENTHOL: Nature's proven arthritis 'pain cooler'. Know how peppermint gum cools your mouth? That's the effect of a compound called menthol. And it's been shown to be among the most effective pain-relievers for osteoarthritis -- in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies published in the Journal of Clinical
Rheumatology and the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity. If it can even soothe arthritis pain, just think what it can do for those occasional strains, bumps and bruises!

ST. JOHN'S WORT: You thought it was just an antidepressant, but... did you know St. John's Wort was used by battlefield physicians back in ancient Rome? Yes! They used it to hasten the healing process for gruesome war wounds and traumas. Ever since, for thousands of years, natural healers have used it to treat everything from injuries and bruises to bursitis and even phantom limb pain.

MSM: The 'miracle molecule' for healthy joints. There's a good reason why MSM is included in so many joint support pills. Thousands credit it with delivering relief, and it may also promote healthy circulation, so nutrients can rush in to mend the injured area. Now, thanks to Jon Barron's 4-stage 'transporter,' you can apply MSM directly to your pain site!

ARNICA: European herbalists say it's awesome for speeding up the healing of sprains and muscle strains. Preliminary research shows that it also helps bruises heal faster. The Soothanol X2 delivery system launches it onto your hurting back, neck or ankles. Even if you've tried arnica all by itself before, wait 'til you feel the difference!

This is just some of the stuff that's working for you in every drop of Soothanol X2. The total effect must be felt to be believed. Everything works together to 'short circuit' your pain at the source. As a user myself, I can tell you it's an uncanny feeling. It's almost like your fingertips have turned into a pain-erasing wand. First you feel a little tingle and then...

'BINGO! PAIN RELIEF!'
