DMSO is a Miraculous Therapy for Neurological Diseases

A concise guide to the thousands of forgotten studies showing how one simple compound treats strokes, paralysis, neurodegeneration, and nerve pain

A Midwestern Doctor

Sep 26, 2026

Story at a Glance:

• DMSO is an inexpensive “umbrella remedy” whose combination of therapeutic properties (e.g., restoring circulation, reducing inflammation, and reactivating dormant cells) makes it uniquely suited to treating neurological disorders that otherwise lack effective options.

• Hundreds of studies and many reader reports show DMSO can dramatically improve strokes, brain bleeds, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries (including permanent paralysis), with the best results occurring when it is given soon after the injury.

• Extensive data supports DMSO for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, MS, and prion disease, along with cognitive impairment, psychiatric disorders, chronic stress, seizures, and Down syndrome.

• DMSO is one of the most effective treatments available for pain (e.g., neuropathic pain, spinal pain, headaches, and fibromyalgia) and peripheral nerve damage, and since the eyes and ears are also extensions of the nervous system, it frequently improves vision, hearing, and tinnitus.

• DMSO’s ability to treat so many seemingly unrelated neurological conditions suggests they share root causes conventional neurology does not recognize, which is a major reason so many of these diseases remain untreated.

• This article condenses a four-part DMSO neurology series (covering approximately 4,500 studies and 1,000 reader reports) into an accessible summary and concludes with practical guidance on sourcing, dosing, and condition-specific protocols.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a simple, inexpensive compound found throughout nature whose remarkable properties allow it both to treat a wide range of illnesses and to facilitate the use of many different (FDA approved) medical therapies. Yet, it exists in a strange limbo: it is one of the most extensively studied and used medicinal compounds, but most mainstream sources insist there’s no evidence it works for anything beyond its single FDA-approved use, interstitial cystitis, despite the fact that physicians and scientists, seeing its promise, independently conducted tens of thousands of studies demonstrating its therapeutic utility and that DMSO, on the basis of that data, is widely used in foreign medical systems.

DMSO’s peculiar status results from the fact it cannot be profited off of (e.g., a twenty dollar bottle will last a user for months). Because of this, there has been no incentive within the medical field to secure a costly approval for it within the FDA’s “pay-to-play system.” Rather, the FDA went to war against DMSO for decades (despite immense public protest to legalize DMSO) and as a result, almost all of the approved DMSO preparations on the market are DMSO pharmaceutical combinations (as they can be patented and then marked up). Likewise, there was no incentive within the natural health field to market it as a supplement, which has resulted in it becoming mostly forgotten by the time a 1994 law took away the FDA’s ability to restrict natural supplements like DMSO.

I find this egregious, as DMSO is able to:

  • Treat a variety of common conditions (e.g., pain and injuries) in a dramatically effective, cheaper, and most importantly safer manner than the existing therapeutic options.
  • Treat a variety of challenging and tragic illnesses that have few or no treatment options, in many cases producing recoveries so dramatic they are regarded as “miraculous” or “impossible.

US Officials Knew COVID Shot Safety System Was Flawed But Turned Aside the FDA Doc Who Alerted Them

“ONE OF THE GREATEST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THIS CENTURY”: The BMJ Exposes the mRNA Safety Cover-Up

The BMJ reveals federal health officials knowingly relied on a broken surveillance system to mask vaccine harms while ordering internal whistleblowers to “cease and desist.”

Lioness of Judah Ministry

Sep 18, 2026

Article Excerpts:

The foundational narrative of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout has collapsed.

A devastating investigation by The BMJ reveals that the CDC and FDA were not merely “incompetent”, they were actively deceptive.

Armed with the knowledge that their primary safety-monitoring algorithm was mathematically incapable of detecting harm, federal officials suppressed the truth to maintain an illusion of vaccine safety.

The facts, now exposed through internal emails and Senate investigative records, confirm a coordinated betrayal of the American people:

  • MATHEMATICAL MASKING: The FDA utilized an empirical Bayesian algorithm that they knew was broken. Because the system was flooded with reports for mRNA vaccines, it suffered from “masking”, effectively silencing alerts for heart inflammation, neurological damage, and sudden death.
  • DELIBERATE IGNORANCE: As late as 2022, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted the agency had not even performed standard PRR analyses for over a year. When those standard, functional analyses were finally run, they immediately flagged hundreds of severe safety signals that the government had previously claimed didn’t exist.
  • THE SILENCING OF DISSENT: When career medical officer Dr. Ana Szarfman and statistician William DuMouchel attempted to fix the flawed methodology, they were muzzled by FDA leadership. Dr. Peter Marks and others explicitly ordered them to “cease and desist,” fearing that accurate safety data would damage “vaccine confidence” and provide ammunition to critics.
  • A CALCULATED BETRAYAL: Officials knew their system had blind spots; they were warned repeatedly by their own staff; and yet they continued to cite the “lack of signals” to reassure the public and clinicians. They traded the bodily safety of millions of Americans for the protection of a government-mandated pharmaceutical campaign.

Americans were not just misinformed; they were systematically lied to by the very agencies tasked with their protection.

This report provides the documentation of a profound breach of trust, a calculated suppression of medical evidence that denied the public the right to understand the risks they were forced to take.

Before the first COVID shot, Sayer Ji warned that FDA’s own safety watchlist made rigorous post-market surveillance indispensable. A key detection system with a now proven and documented blind spot should have been a shot over the bow at the time, but senior officials instead worried about ‘public confidence’ in ‘vaccines’ and Meta records show pressure to restrict truthful side-effect information. ‘Vaccine” censorship was (and still is) prolific.

In 2021, Israel’s Ministry of Health sent out an alarm that they were seeing “a large number of reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people.”

These warnings went nowhere.

Pfizer, a private company and the manufacturer of the vaccine, received detailed case-level reports of hospitalizations and deaths. The public, and independent scientists, did not. The underlying record was never made public. The authors had to publish an anonymized version themselves as a supplementary file so that others could examine the evidence.

Five years. That’s how long this took to surface. Source

After These Young People Died, Postmortems Found an Unnerving Parasite Link

After These Young People Died, Postmortems Found an Unnerving Parasite Link

04 September 2026

ByEsra Öz

After These Young People Died, Postmortems Found an Unnerving Parasite Link (Breitschwerdt et al., Parasites & Vectors, 2026, CC BY 4.0.)

He had been athletic and healthy. Then came years of exhaustion, pain, memory problems, and psychiatric symptoms. Eventually, he had to leave college.

By the time the 27-year-old died, six years of illness and specialist care had failed to restore his health.

Tests performed after his death revealed DNA from two species of Babesia, tiny parasites that infect red blood cells, and Bartonella henselae, the bacterium that causes cat-scratch disease.

His was one of six cases in a postmortem investigation driven by families still seeking answers about their children’s illnesses.

Researchers confirmed DNA from one or both groups of microbes in five individuals.

The discovery left a crucial question unanswered: what role, if any, had these infections played in their illnesses?

The individuals were aged 14 to 30, and all had experienced chronic illness and suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

Four died by suicide, one through medical assistance in dying, and another from a severe disorder involving excessive immune activation.

Their parents contacted Edward Breitschwerdt, an infectious disease researcher at North Carolina State University, after learning about his team’s work on Bartonella and neurological illness. (See link for article)

**Comment**

This is the perfect article to follow up on the research on ‘PTLDS’ as it wonderfully shows how these pathogens are hard to find let alone effectively treat but are causing needless suicides and unbelievable suffering, due to an old faulty dogma that refuses to go away.

Important excerpt:

“They supplied medical histories and arranged for postmortem samples to reach his laboratory. Some had already been tested or treated for these infections while alive. The investigation was therefore not the first indication of infection in every case. At the laboratory, the initial search returned no clear answers. The researchers analyzed 125 DNA extracts from blood, laboratory blood cultures, tissues, and other body fluids. Initial quantitative PCR screening, which searches for selected genetic sequences, was negative throughout. Digital PCR, which divides samples into many tiny reactions, then produced faint signals in some samples. None reached the study’s threshold for a positive result. Additional targeted tests and DNA sequencing, which reads genetic material to identify organisms, provided confirmation.”

These poor folks would have been ignored by most researchers after the PCR screening, but Bart guru, Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt, is no dummy and kept digging. Notice they did additional ‘targeted’ tests AND DNA sequencing. Mainstream research simply quits looking after using tests that are wrong nearly 90% of the time.

In response to the question of whether the DNA points to an active infection at the time of death, Breitschwerdt said that detecting a known pathogen’s DNA in clinical specimens is medically accepted as evidence of “active infection.

Yet – for some reason, this ‘medically accepted’ evidence does NOT hold true for Lyme/MSIDS. It’s the perfect quagmire with no end in sight.

While this was an ‘observational study’, not a prospective case-controlled study, Breitschwerdt states:

“I think the best interpretation is that infections with vector-borne pathogens that have evolved to induce persistent infections in animals and human patients are not a current diagnostic consideration in patients with chronic illnesses or neuropsychiatric symptoms.”

Abstract

Infection-associated chronic illnesses (IACIs) encompass a spectrum of poorly understood syndromes often marked by significant neurologic and multisystem symptoms following an infectious event.

This review focuses on several diseases representative of the IACI spectrum. These are post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), long COVID, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Their clinical and biological complexity, combined with a lack of clear diagnostic criteria and objective available laboratory biomarkers, makes them difficult to distinguish from conditions with overlapping features. This presents challenges for research studies, as well as diagnosis and clinical management. This diagnostic ambiguity, coupled with heterogeneous patient presentations, has led to challenges in research, including misclassification of study participants and inconsistent or irreproducible findings. Some PTLDS research exemplifies these issues, which also extend to other IACIs.

To advance the field, we highlight key methodological refinements and approaches for studying IACIs, including rigorous participant selection, standardized sample collection protocols, and the use of appropriate control groups, including those with microbiologic proof of the initial infection when known and technologically feasible. We also address broader influences on research quality, such as stigma, historical neglect, and the urgency to find treatments, which have contributed to the proliferation of poorly controlled studies and questionable practices. Drawing lessons from past challenges, we propose a path forward grounded in fit-for-purpose methodological rigor to improve scientific understanding and support evidence-based therapeutic development for IACIs.

**Comment**

I’m not going to do a full write up of this, but am simply going to point out an error right away in paragraph two which states, “antibiotic therapy is effective for clearing the bacterium.” For years research has shown that this is simply not the case with a subset of patients. There are numerous reasons for this including the involvement of coinfections antibiotics won’t touch, and using an ineffective antibiotic, for the wrong duration of time as research has shown many of these pathogens have the ability to sequester in tissues in a dormant state when threatened by treatment only to reemerge later when conditions are favorable. Again, for a vast majority of patients who are infected with multiple pathogens simultaneously, an antiquated and ineffective CDC monotherapy simply will not and can not work.

As I’ve written previously, I take issue with the accepted post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) moniker since the ‘post treatment’ is based upon the entirely false premise that 10 days of doxycycline ‘cures’ Lyme disease. This tenet has been proven false again and again yet is regurgitated as an unquestionable rule. All you have to do is look around and see thousands still suffering after this supposed ‘gold standard’ therapy.

The authors also state that ‘Chronic Lyme Disease’ (CLD) is ‘used by some to describe individuals with a vague array of symptoms, frequently lacking documentation of exposure to Bb.

So, in paragraph two they already tip their hand that they are simply old school players who buy the clap-trap that Lyme is simple to identify, prove, and treat when everyone and their dog knows this belief belongs in the same category as pixie dust. A test that can be wrong nearly 90% of the time is no test that should be taken seriously by anyone. Diagnosis remains a ‘clinical’ one and anyone who says other wise is an ostrich with their head in the sand.

Important excerpt:

“In this review, we focus on and refer to PTLDS using criteria proposed and generally accepted by most academic and government agencies.4,9-11 Individuals with PTLDS had laboratory and clinically supported evidence of B. burgdorferi infection. They received appropriate early antibiotic therapy9,12 and continued to have or develop new symptoms within 6 months of infection that lasted for a period of at least 6 months, resulting in impaired or declining function.”

This is all I need to know. They will find nothing of value for sick patients. Zip. Nadda.

Until the world wakes up to the uniqueness of this complex illness, we simply circle the drain.

Unresolved Issue of Misidentified Viral Particles For COVID Still Exists

Top Medical Journals Label Images of Human Cell Structures as ‘Coronavirus’—‘Misidentified Viral Particles Are Used by Others to Verify the Presence of Viral Particles’: CDC

Years after CDC microscopists documented the misidentifications, the papers remain, raising questions about the evidence used to establish SARS-CoV-2’s physical presence in the human body.

Jon Fleetwood

Sep 08, 2026

Top medical journals published images of ordinary human cellular structures labeled as “coronavirus,” according to a 2021 review authored by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientists and collaborators titled “Difficulties in Differentiating Coronaviruses from Subcellular Structures in Human Tissues by Electron Microscopy.”

The researchers examined 27 reports that used electron microscopy to identify coronavirus directly in human tissue and found that 23 contained cellular structures misidentified as virus.

“In each case of erroneously identified coronavirus particles,” they wrote, “the structures mistaken for virus are common cellular organelles.”

More than five years later, several of the papers remain published without corrections withdrawing the disputed electron-microscope identifications, including studies claiming direct SARS-CoV-2 infection of the kidney, liver, heart, intestine, and other organs.

The development raises questions about how much of the historical record describing the purported virus’s physical presence and morphology rests on images that were never uniquely identifying. (See link for article and images)

This is a BIG deal. If everything is built upon false/fraudulent data the entire COVID house of cards falls down. This is true in the case of ‘vaccines’ as well as many other issues.
