DMSO For Herpes

Introduction
In April 1980 Mrs Vernice Reed, a health and nutrition counsellor in San
Francisco, developed a severe and painful infection in her mouth. In
desperation, she consulted first her doctor, then her dentist. In turn, they
told her, Sorry there's nothing we can do to help.
The infection turned out to be herpes zoster, or shingles, which usually
appears as regions of tiny red blisters on the chest, and can be
extremely painful. When herpes (whether herpes zoster or herpes
simplex) appears on the head and face it can be dangerous as well as
painful: the herpes virus can get into the ophthalmic nerve and cause
damage, even blindness. Mrs Reed had a bottle of DMSO in her
cupboard for use as a first-aid remedy, and, feeling she had little to lose
at this point, decided to experiment with it.
She diluted the full-strength DMSO liquid 50:50 with distilled water, and
used this mixture to swab her face and mouth, and gargle in her upper
throat. She did this three times throughout the day, and by that evening
the pain was gone.
The next day she repeated this process, adding aloe vera to the mix as a
soothing agent, and by the following day there were no more blisters. I
didn't need to swab anymore, said Mrs Reed. My mouth has never had
any blisters since.

If DMSO can cure herpes zoster, what about herpes simplex?

One doctor, Orville J. Davis M.D., has used DMSO successfully many
times in combination with vitamin C, given intravenously in severe cases
as well as applied to the skin. Dr Davis reports the successful treatment
of a 58 year old woman who had herpes simplex lesions covering the
right side of her head. She was treated with intravenous vitamin C, with a
DMSO-vitamin C mix applied to the lesions, more or less continually.
Within 3 days the lesions were gone, never to return.
There are hundreds of clinical case studies like these, and research
studies too, including many by reputable medical researchers, showing
amazing results with DMSO for a whole range of medical conditions. But
a medical practitioner who offers DMSO as a treatment for any condition
other than one bladder disorder interstitial cystitis is in danger of
having his or her medical licence revoked.
So what's the story with DMSO?
Is it really as effective and as safe as the enthusiasts claim?
Is the FDA the good guy fighting quack remedies or the bad guy
dancing to the strings of Big Pharma?
Let's pull back the curtain on DMSO and take a look at what it is, and
how it works. Then make up your own mind.

What is DMSO?
DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a by-product of the wood-chipping and
paper manufacture industry. It's extremely cheap to produce, and readily
available because of its easy production and widespread use as an
industrial solvent.
First discovered by a Russian scientist in 1866, DMSO was only a
laboratory curiosity until the early 1960s, when Robert Herschler, a
chemist who worked for the Crown Zellerbach paper company, began
experimenting with it. By that time, it was known that DMSO had some
amazing properties as a solvent, and was able to combine with a huge

variety of other substances. In 1959 a British group had discovered that

DMSO would protect red blood cells and other biological tissues from
freezing in sub-zero conditions. This got the interest of Dr Stanley Jacob,
at the University of Oregon Medical School, who at that time was looking
for a way to safely freeze human kidneys for transplant. Together they
discovered that DMSO had a unique capacity to pass through skin and
cell membranes, and even more exciting, to carry other substances with
it, for example penicillin. This meant that the penicillin was able to get to
where it was needed, more efficiently and in smaller doses than either
oral or intravenous application.
There's another key property of DMSO that has led to some of its almost
miraculous applications. Robert Herschler and Stanley Jacob noticed
that DMSO had a drying effect on the skin, and decided to experiment
with it as a treatment for burns. Not only does DMSO keep the burned
skin dry and so protected from infection but it can also relieve the
extreme pain associated with a burn. And here's an extra bonus: further
down the track DMSO is able to reduce scarring and promote healthy
skin formation after a burn or injury.
Since those first studies, DMSO has been found to

Reduce swelling and inflammation in medical conditions such as

arthritis, sports injuries, tendonitis.

Assist in the healing of head injuries and cerebral stroke.

Soften collagen and reduce or prevent the formation of scar tissue.

Act as an antibiotic, anti-viral and anti-fungal agent in its own right.

Relieve pain and promote wound healing.

These properties have led to a host of applications for DMSO in a huge

range of medical disorders. DMSO is approved as a treatment for
interstitial cystitis, which is an inflammatory bladder condition of unknown
origin with no other effective treatment available. And though the FDA
haven't approved any other medical uses, there are reports lots of
them about the effectiveness of DMSO in treating auto-immune
conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and lupus.

There are reports that DMSO may have some therapeutic effect in cases
of cancer, stroke, diabetic neuropathy and Alzheimer's disease. And even
more cases in which DMSO has been found to successfully treat
musculo-skeletal injuries, wounds, burns, and skin lesions.
The reports include using DMSO as a treatment for herpes.
We'll get to that later.
But right now you're probably wondering, Why haven't I ever heard of
DMSO for treating herpes?

DMSO banned
DMSO has never been totally banned, because of its industrial uses.
However, DMSO was banned for medical use by the FDA in1965, when
a woman in Ireland died of an allergic reaction after taking a cocktail of
different drugs, including DMSO. (Though it was never established that
DMSO was the culprit, it ended up with the blame.)
Around the same time, a toxicology study found that DMSO caused
cataract-like changes in the eyes of some experimental animals. (There
have never been any reports of changes in the lens of any human eye
from DMSO, but the concern persists.)
The ban on medical use led to a thriving black market, with industrialgrade DMSO being sold from the backs of trucks in Dallas, hair salons in
Chicago, and hobby stores in California. The FDA have since relaxed
their total medical ban, and clinical trials of DMSO for various serious
conditions have been approved since 1966 though it's mostly still not
allowed for therapeutic purposes.
However, in 1970 DMSO was actually approved for veterinary use. It's
now widely used for musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions in dogs and
horses, and other things too. Veterinary grade DMSO is more refined
than industrial grade DMSO no reputable vet would use a toxic
substance on a dog or horse. And nor would they continue to use it if it
didn't work.

In 1978 one lonely medical use was allowed by the FDA: DMSO was
and is approved for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, after a small
study showed that it helped reduce the inflammation and pain
associated with this bladder disorder.
The FDA's reluctance to allow wider medical use for DMSO seems to be
due to several things. It's been suggested that its established use as an
industrial solvent may have prejudiced the Fed against DMSO, and even
more, the media and public enthusiasm undoubtedly created a backlash
of official opinion.
Between 1964 and 1983 results from over 1500 medical studies, on
more than 120,000 patients with a range of medical conditions, had been
submitted for FDA consideration. To date, they have rejected all but one
for interstitial cystitis of the new drug applications submitted for the
medical use of DMSO.
The Fed's stated rationale is that they have not seen any properly
convincing double-blind studies showing that DMSO is an effective
treatment. (It's hard to do double-blind studies on DMSO, because of its
peculiar and distinctive odour on the breath. It's virtually impossible to
disguise who is receiving the DMSO treatment, and who is getting the
placebo.)
But to anyone who knows even a little about the FDA approval process,
it's obvious that there is more to it than this. Many new drugs get
approval on much flimsier evidence of both effectiveness and safety.
A cynic might think that the real reason for the lack of acceptable clinical
studies on DMSO could lie in its availability and low price. What sort of
profit margin would there be for a pharmaceutical company under these
circumstances? And what might be the damage to sales of other
products, if a cheap and readily available solvent were able to
successfully treat conditions that they are making huge profits in just
managing?
Do you think the FDA are really being objective, or are they perhaps
being swayed by pressure from the pharmaceutical companies who have
their own interests at heart???

Is DMSO safe?
Dr Stanley Jacobs has recently passed away (at the grand old age of
91). But since 1963 he regularly took DMSO himself not for any
medical reason, but because if any side-effects are going to develop, it's
better that they raise their ugly head in my body than anyone else's.
And Robert Herschler, who worked with Dr Jacob in discovering the first
medical uses of DMSO, stated publicly on Good Morning America that
Compared to aspirin, DMSO is a much safer drug. People are killed
taking aspirin; no-one has ever been killed taking DMSO.
During the same interview, the then Director of the FDA's Bureau of
Drugs, J. Richard Crout, MD was the other guest. Dr Crout admitted,
when asked about the safety of DMSO: It's really quite safe when put on
the skin. I don't believe I would raise scare tactics about when people put
it on and use it for a few days.
DMSO has been used medically by doctors and even more by hundreds
of thousands of people for home use. Dr Moreton Walker says in his
book DMSO: Nature's Healer that up to that time (the book was first
published in 1993) no toxicity has been reported in consumer reports, at
medical meetings, in the scientific literature, during the four international
DMSO symposia, or anywhere else. The approximately 2000 people for
whom physicians in medical practice have personally prescribed DMSO
have not advised of any serious deleterious reactions.
So what about the woman who died of an allergic reaction in Ireland?
And what about possible changes in the lens of the eye, found in some
animal toxicology studies?
The woman in Ireland was taking several other drugs besides DMSO.
The actual cause of death was never established, and there have been
no other reports of severe allergic reactions to DMSO.
As for changes in the lens of the eye: although some refractive changes
in the lens were observed in dogs, rabbits and pigs who were taking
high doses of DMSO over a long period of time (5g/kg over 3 months),

this was never found in primates, and there have never been any reports
of eye changes in humans, in spite of ongoing concern about this.
In fact, an exhaustive toxicology study was conducted on human
subjects in the state correctional institution at Vacaville, California in
1967-68 by Dr Richard D. Brobyn. A group of 45 prisoners volunteered
for the study, which required them to be coated all over their skin with
DMSO over a period of three months, and extensive tests were done,
including on their eyes. No toxic effects were found, and it was
concluded that DMSO was an extremely safe substance.
Moreover, DMSO has been used by some ophthalmologists directly in
the eye as a treatment for cataracts and other eye conditions, and there
haven't been any ill-effects noted. (Yes, the treatment helped reduce the
cataracts, too.)
Still, the caution has stuck, and prudent practitioners using DMSO will
get their long-term patients to have regular eye check-ups, just to make
sure. For short and medium term use, up to a few months, no concerns
have been raised, not even by the scare-mongers.

DMSO side-effects
The main side-effect of DMSO is garlic breath. Though pure DMSO is
tasteless, it's broken down in the body to dimethyl sulphide which has a
distinctive garlic-like odour. It's harmless, and most people find the
therapeutic benefits of DMSO worth the minor annoyance.
Another common problem is skin irritation, if DMSO is applied fullstrength to the skin. It's generally recommended to start off with a 50:50
dilution because of this, and gradually increase to 75% DMSO if it can be
tolerated.
DMSO should not be used with any blood-thinning medication such as
warfarin, or even aspirin, and for hemophiliacs, DMSO should only be
used under medical supervision, if at all. (For those with the opposite
problems, that is, related to blood vessel blockage, DMSO can have
obvious benefits.)

How to use DMSO

The most common way to use DMSO is to apply it topically. Since DMSO
has such spectacular ability to penetrate skin, this is the most efficient
way to use it in most cases, as well as being the easiest.
DMSO can be purchased as a liquid (the purest form) or as a gel, or as a
cream. The gel has some advantages in being easier to apply, but the
liquid works out cheapest. It's generally recommended to purchase the
99.9% pure, pharmaceutical grade DMSO (which you can buy in bulk),
and then dilute it. You can mix it with distilled water, or with aloe vera,
which helps to counter the slight irritation you might experience with
DMSO. Use food quality aloe vera, i.e. juice intended for oral use, the
kind you buy at a health food store. Only make up enough of the mix for
immediate use that is, for a few days because adding aloe vera will
reduce its shelf life.
Start by diluting the full strength DMSO 50:50 with either water or aloe
vera. Test it first on a small area of skin, eg the inner elbow, to see if you
get any allergic reaction. If this is okay, then try applying this mixture on a
larger area, to the part of your body you want to treat. If this is a sensitive
area, eg mouth or genital area, it might be wise to stay with the 50%
solution. If you feel you can tolerate a higher concentration then increase
it to 70% (7 parts pure DMSO to 3 parts distilled water or aloe vera).

Which form of DMSO should I buy?

The 99.9% pure liquid, pharmaceutical grade is the
safest and most economical way to purchase DMSO.
This one ticks all the boxes and has excellent reviews.

For use as a topical analgesic, a 70% solution is generally used.

For deep penetration or use as a carrier with other substances, aim for
70-90%, which has been found to be the most effective for penetrating
skin. (For some reason, a solution over 90% strength tends to be less
effective.)
Because DMSO is such an effective carrier, you need to make sure you
wash your hands and the area to be treated quite thoroughly before
applying DMSO. Don't apply any lotions or creams within at least an hour
of applying DMSO, as all commercial lotions and creams contain some
preservative and often other chemicals stuff you don't want inside your
body.
You can apply DMSO with your (clean) hands, or with a cotton bud or
cotton ball, depending on the size of the area you want to treat. Be
generous about the area you apply it to, and trust that it will get to where
it's needed. Remember that some people use DMSO orally without any
ill-effects (other than a slight degree of gastric irritation equivalent to the
skin irritation you may experience with full-strength DMSO) so don't
worry about an overdose of DMSO, and don't be concerned too much
about applying it to a precise area. The DMSO will enter your blood
stream and get carried to the place it's needed, for the most part.
Once you apply DMSO you can massage it a bit to encourage
absorption, and then leave it to dry for about 20 minutes. If you plan to
cover the area with clothing, make sure it's a natural fabric such as
cotton or linen, and not a synthetic such as polyester or nylon that might
react with DMSO.
For chronic conditions such as arthritis, it's recommended to apply
DMSO daily, over a period of several weeks at least before expecting to
notice any benefits. For acute conditions such as a burn or a cut or a
lesion, apply DMSO 3-4 times per day until the pain goes away.

Using DMSO for herpes

As well as the general advice given above, here are the specific different
ways you can use DMSO for herpes:
1) To relieve pain and promote healing of lesions in an outbreak
DMSO, like most other treatments for herpes, works best if it's applied
when you first notice the warning signs (eg tingling) and before the lesion
erupts. Some people have found that the lesion just disappears before it
has a chance to erupt. Most often, it will break out but then dry up and
heal much faster than previously.
You can use DMSO on its own or combine it with any other treatment
that you have found helpful, such as essential oils.

2) DMSO as an anti-viral
DMSO has been found to be an anti-viral in its own right. It dissolves the
outer protein coating of the virus and leaves the core unprotected, able to
be attacked by the immune system of the host. (That's you!)
Because DMSO has a unique capacity to penetrate nerve cells, it's able
to get right to the hiding place of the herpes virus and so potentially
eliminate herpes from your body for good.
But DMSO is even more effective when combined with other treatments.

3) DMSO as a carrier
With DMSO able to get through the skin and bring other molecules with
it, a huge potential field of healing opportunities is opened up. The carrier
properties of DMSO have led to combination treatments for all sorts of
conditions and specifically for herpes (herpes zoster and herpes
simplex, both of which are related viruses that act in the same way,
hiding in the spinal nerve roots). One duo that is reported to work is a
mixture of DMSO and an anti-viral drug (idoxuridine). The combination is
more effective than just using the anti-viral on its own, and at lower
dosage too, meaning that there is less risk of side-effects.
DMSO has also been used with Vitamin C, applied to the skin to treat
herpes, again with excellent results... as we saw in our story way back in
the introduction to this report.
And we know that there are other natural substances that are even more
powerful anti-virals, effective against herpes simplex, that are not being
promoted and in many cases are actively ridiculed because they are
low cost and not patentable... (read: no profit potential for the
pharmaceutical company).
Right now, we're at the beginning of discovering the most powerful ways
to use DMSO for herpes. But there are doctors who are defying the
medical establishment and quietly using these potent natural anti-virals in
their own clinical practice... and getting results for their patients. (Not in
the United States, but in the UK and Europe, where natural treatments
have a long and respected history of use.)
