First, let’s familiarize ourselves with DMSO and its reported effects on the body.
DMSO is classified as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever drug which is marketed as a dietary supplement. It is also available by prescription as a pharmaceutical drug.
It has recently been promoted in the natural health and alternative health communities as a supplement. Its purported uses include treatments for:
Headache
Painful Bladder Syndrome
Shingles
Rheumatoid arthritis
Eye problems
Scars
Scleroderma (disease that causes scar tissue to form in the skin)
And an alternative Cancer Treatment
According to WebMD, the most frequent side effects from using DMSO on the skin include:
Stomach upset
Skin irritation
A strong odor of garlic
Using DMSO by mouth can cause:
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Constipation
Decreased appetite
More serious side effects include:
Severe allergic reactions
Headaches
Itching and burning when applied to the skin
DMSO can also be lethal to humans when used in high concentrations.
Now let’s look from a terrain perspective. Does this product trigger any expulsion symptoms in any humans?
Keep in mind that the more toxic our bodies become the less energy they have for expelling toxins. We look at humans as a whole; One individual may not get an expulsion symptom if their system lacks the vitality to expel toxins. However if some humans are reporting these expulsion symptoms then we can know that the substance is toxic to humans.
Looking at the list of side effects we see nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and decreased appetite. These are all expulsion symptoms. Expulsion symptoms tell us that the human body sees DMSO as a threat. This is a strong indication DMSO is harmful to our health.
Another thing to consider from the Terrain model perspective: What is the supposed benefit of the medicine or treatment?
DMSO is being marketed as a treatment for headaches, irritated bladder, rashes, shingles, inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, eye problems, and scarring of tissues. Treatments are generally harmful to the body because the symptoms exist to promote the healing process; either to aid in the expulsion of toxic materials or in an attempt to create protections against them. This is why we refer to them as “expulsion symptoms” and are often part of a healing crisis.
The body also attempts to protect itself through the creation of inflammation, swelling, and formation of scar tissues or tumors to encapsulate the toxic chemistry. When the body lacks the vitality to expel toxins, it will use other methods to protect the cells from any toxic chemicals it cannot expel. This is most often accomplished by bringing water to the area to dilute the acidic chemistry, but may also include the creation of scar tissues or tumors to encapsulate.
Therefore the symptoms DMSO claims to stop are in reality the body’s natural attempts to clean, heal, and protect itself from waste which is generating the disease conditions. Not only does DMSO do nothing to remove the cause of the initial disease conditions, but it actively interferes with the body’s attempts to remove the waste while also adding to the total toxic burden in the body. While DMSO may provide some short-term relief from a given symptom in some cases, it is certainly not a cure but instead, it is a toxin. The body itself is in worse condition after DMSO has been ingested. DMSO would not be recommended if a return to health is the goal. A poison applied to the body may temporarily alter the symptoms created by the body, but the symptoms themselves are the cure for disease conditions, so stopping them is not helping the body, it is always hurting the body. As usual, from a Terrain Model perspective, we focus on supporting the body and its natural systems to remove the true cause of disease rather than the application of chemical bandaids and toxic remedies to suppress symptoms. One can never poison the body back to health.
