The Double-Edged Sword of DMSO

A new article from Orthomolecular Medicine News Service that might be of interest to people using DMSO. At higher levels it can damage mitochondria.
The Double-Edged Sword of DMSO: Healing Agent or Mitochondrial Damager?

@DavidPS Thanks for sharing.
The safe concentration, according to the article is just 1% concentration. Seems rather low. Maybe 3-5% is tolerable, as based on the article, but it's still low. As I see concentrations used going to 40 to 70%, as used topically. I haven't looked at the references cited, but maybe I should.
I've used high concentrations at 70%, but haven't experienced downsides, but maybe I've only used it sparingly or for limited duration.
Would have to consider this study if I have to use DMSO for a longer duration especially.
