I've come across the term Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in a recent article and I'm curious about it. What exactly is DMSO, and what are its common uses or potential benefits?
Dimethyl sulfoxide is a naturally occurring liquid substance derived from trees that is created as a by-product of paper production.
In the medical realm, researchers have identified its unique consistency, making it an optimal solvent for blending specific drugs into solutions.
Because it is rapidly absorbed when applied to the skin, DMSO is used as a prescription drug to treat inflammation and pain.
In alternative cancer treatment, practitioners use DMSO to enable chemotherapy to focus specifically on cancer cells by opening their ports. The DMSO binds to chemotherapy drugs, targets the cancer cells, and drags chemotherapy into the cells, and the chemotherapy now kills its target: the cancer cells.
