The healing power of DMSO discussed in this book is no exaggeration. I've been using DMSO on and off for exercise related injuries since 1983. It really works.
Depending on where it's applied, sometimes the skin will burn and itch for about 15 minutes and look like a bad sunburn afterward. This is temporary and harmless. On other places I will feel almost no sensation. It's especially effective on a fresh tissue injury. Since it quickly penetrates the skin and enters the blood stream, within a few minutes of application there is always a fishy taste in my mouth. One social side effect of frequent use is that the user will emit a fishy smell! This is a small price to pay for those in chronic pain.
At least for me, the pain killing effect of DMSO is uneven. Sometimes it will kill the pain completely, other times the effect is partial. But it always does something. Unlike prescription painkillers, DMSO's effect is cumulative. The more frequently one uses it, the less one needs. The least irritating delivery system is DMSO combined with aloe vera gel. The deodorant type applicator is too messy.
It's unfortunate that mainstream medicine has shunned this inexpensive, safe and extremely effective healer in favor of expensive, addictive and dangerous prescription drugs.

I got the book after I got the DMSO, which I found out about via a Jenny McCarthay book where she mentioned some "Mother Warrior" used it to help her autistic kid. I found an article on the net that said vitamin B12 and folic acid could be dissolved in DMSO and then applied to the skin for good absorption to cure anemia, and another article on how DMSO can cure colitis and I was hooked.
This book doesn't mention either of those treatmens using DMSO and there are a lot more exciting possibilities like using DMSO to get GABA supplements across the blood brain barrier that it doesn't touch, but the information in it is fascinating. I read the book in a day, couldn't put it down. It was very clear for a medical layman.
Basically it's a summary of a lot of research done on DMSO with a section in the beginning on what it is and how they think it works on the body. Some of the research summarized that I found interesting are the use of it within 90 min of a spinal cord injury preventing paralysis, the way it can be used on burn victims to prevent infection, numb pain, and promote healing, and the treatment of infants with Down's Syndrome to help them reach their potential and prevent some of the genetic effects it can cause.
The book also covers (briefly with no conspiracy theories) why the FDA has shut down research on this drug that was once labeled a breakthrough new medicine by them, and why doctors can't tell us about it or recommend it without fear of losing their license.
I used it for a week and my ganglion cyst completely disappeared, an unexpected but welcome side-effect!

DMSO: Nature's Healer is a great book of facts and lab test from the late 60's. There's not much info on DMSO on the internet or anywhere else to my knowledge. This book is informative enough for the average minded person, maybe not for a slow learner.
I have used DMSO myself and find that its best benefit is a pain killer. I smashed and cut my pinky toe with a hair dryer (fell off the counter). The pain was so intense I started going into shock. I was bleeding profusely. My husband helped me get stabilized. I had never used the DMSO on an open cut before but I tried it. I applied a weak solution (about 20% DMSO) and within minutes the pain stopped completely. I was astonished, I still am. The cut stopped bleeding and closed, yes it closed. All swelling went down and the blackish color of my toe faded to pink. Two weeks later it still hurts if poked at but I've walked without a limp since it happened. I sprayed the injury 1/2 dozen times after the initial accident and all is well. I ALWAYS make sure the area I use it is as clean as possible. It's amazing that DMSO is nothing more than tree juice! Try it, it beats getting a staph infection at the local ER.
