DMSO - is it as maligned as aspirin because of potential benefits?

@DavidPS , I have not listened to this, but remember Patrick Timpone on one radio network was always talking about sulphur?

I know this topic is older.

But doesnt DMSO induce DNA methylation?

I read from Georgi Dinkov that DNA methylation is tied to cancer.

Mercola posted this today.

DMSO Transforms the Treatment of Infectious Diseases

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Introduction
DMSO is a remarkably safe and naturally occurring substance (provided you use it correctly) that rapidly improves a variety of conditions medicine struggles with —
particularly chronic pain. For reference, those conditions included:

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a safe, naturally occurring substance with properties that make it effective for treating various medical conditions, including pain, injuries, wounds, strokes, spine injuries, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and internal organ diseases

DMSO has broad antimicrobial properties, protects against microbial toxins, combats
antibiotic resistance, and helps deliver healing deep into the body to treat otherwise inaccessible infections

DMSO studies have generated evidence supporting its role in treating cancer and
autoimmune disorders through its unique antimicrobial properties

DMSO is highly effective against viruses like herpes and shingles, as well as conditions
like feline panleukopenia in cats

DMSO also proves valuable in treating persistent fungal and parasitic infections

I posted the PDF version of his article because in the past his web based articles expired after a few days. Here is the full article.

Both DMSO and MMS don't impact DNA methylation. Surprisingly. The studies seem very clear about that.

@Sunniva I think it's really bad and a dangerous substance

one drop of dmso on my fingertip changed the pigment for about 2 months and created a permanent dot there

@DavidPS
Yes, Mercola is reposting articles for AMD - A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR.

Substack has alot of channels posting on the subject. As always, buyer beware.

I purchased several books- one recently published, one from bitd ( back in the day).

The very fact that it was squashed and approved for only one condition, cystic fibrosis iirc, by the FDA, in the 80s is interesting .

@Sunniva said in DMSO - is it as maligned as aspirin because of potential benefits?:

Because cheap industrial grade DMSO can contain dangerous impurities, only good quality products with at least 99% and preferably higher purity should be used. Because DMSO is hygroscopic (it attracts water) the main impurity at the higher grades is water.

Be careful, the solution gets warm when mixing DMSO with water, and while it does not harm the skin, spills may damage painted or plastic surfaces.

@wester130

Based on the bold parts of the quotes from the previous post, do you think you had a low quality product? Or do you think you're like me, no matter the purity, or the claims of there being no side effects, you're just very sensitive to supplements?

@Mossy impossible to know for certain

Mossy

@wester130 It just never ceases to amaze me the endless reports of "no side effects known", and "no harm", yet I always get sides. I'm not certain if they're being honest, yet short-sighted, i.e., they haven't done extensive and objective studies, or if they know what they say lacks proper study but they just say it so they can move forward with their ideas and career; or, if I'm just the odd ball that can't take anything without sides?

I'm just thinking out loud here with these rhetorical questions.
