THE POTENTIAL OF DMSO IN TREATING HEAD AND NECK CONDITIONS

     DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a chemical compound that has shown remarkable effectiveness in treating various conditions affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and teeth.

     Despite its proven benefits, DMSO remains largely ignored by mainstream medicine. Let's delve into the evidence supporting DMSO's therapeutic uses and explore why such a promising treatment has been forgotten.


EYE CONDITIONS

     Research indicates DMSO can help with multiple eye problems. Studies show it improves vision in cases of macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, and has even restored sight in some blind patients. It also reduces eye irritation and inflammation, helping with conditions like cataracts and sore eyes.

     Interestingly, when applied to the eyes, DMSO appears to concentrate in the cornea before being cleared from the body ** Animal studies confirm DMSO's safety for ocular use, with only temporary irritation reported at very high concentrations *


EAR CONDITIONS

     DMSO has demonstrated benefits for ear problems including tinnitus, hearing loss, and infections like otitis media.

      Clinical studies from the 1960s found DMSO mixed with anesthetics could treat ear infections without painful procedures.**** More recent research shows DMSO enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics when treating ear inflammation. ***


SINUS AND THROAT CONDITIONS

     For sinusitis and nasal infections, DMSO has shown impressive results. A 1965 Merck study of 4,000 patients reported DMSO effectively cleared sinus infections.

     Russian studies in the 1990s found DMSO helped 94% of children with chronic sinusitis recover completely. *****

     In the mouth, DMSO reduces gum inflammation and bleeding, promotes healing after dental procedures, and can relieve tooth pain.


WHY HAS DMSO BEEN FORGOTTEN?

     Despite its wide-ranging benefits, DMSO faced significant opposition from regulatory agencies in the 1970s. Historical records show the FDA actively worked to suppress DMSO research, despite Congressional support for further study. ****** This opposition coincided with the rise of patentable pharmaceuticals, suggesting possible economic motives behind DMSO's marginalization.


CONCLUSION

     The evidence clearly shows DMSO's effectiveness for numerous head and neck conditions. Its safety profile is well-documented, with minimal side effects at therapeutic doses. The medical community's neglect of DMSO represents a troubling case of promising science being overlooked due to institutional and possibly financial interests.
