Hello and great day everyone.  This blog is going to go completely rogue, not follow any of the traditional formatting you are supposed to use but just share four stories with you on using DMSO in the last 6 months that have made me carry around a bottle of this stuff everywhere I go.  
​
​First what is it?  Dimethyl Sulfide is the official name and is a byproduct of wood that was discovered back in the 1800s.  
​
​The amazing uses for this wasn't really explored again until around the 1950s and 60s when trainers started using it on professional athletes and people in extreme pain.  The ability to reduce inflammation to allow our body to heal itself was undeniable. 

If you would like to read about so much more history get the book, "DMSO, Natures Healer" and it goes into the history up to about the 1980s. 

For todays blog I would like to share how I found it.  

I was looking for someone to do some sales writing for my products and contacted a nice woman named Jennie.  

She asked me why I had created my website and workout program?  I told her about slipping discs in my neck, not sleeping and feeling like my body was attacking itself.  I described how I had been on a mission to reduce body inflammation to increase mobility and decrease pain.

It was at that moment she asked if i had ever heard of DMSO.  I told her I had and actually had some in my cupboard for a cleanse by Jim Humble(that's another blog).

She told me how she had healed her neck that had been broken in 3 places, healed her meniscus among many other ailments.  She also told me about the book I mentioned before.  

What she didn't know is that I had a separated shoulder and was contemplating surgery because I couldn't even pull my bow back and I was supposed to go on a hunt in 2 months out to Colorado.  

I decided to put in on my shoulders and neck that night before I went to bed.  The next morning all the pain in both shoulders and neck had disappeared!  I did this every night for a week and by the end of the week I was pulling my bow back and shooting 50 arrows a night.  

About a month later the gentlemen that I was supposed to travel to Colorado with called me and said he was pretty sure he was going to need to back out of the trip.  A women had fallen into his knee during a backyard volleyball game and the doctor said he had torn his miniscus.  

I told him to apply the DMSO 4-5 times at night, letting it evaporate each time for a week straight.  

Within a week he called me and couldn't believe it.  All the swelling and pain had gone away.  He joined me on the hunt to Colorado, no knee brace and we hiked for 7 days and covered over 60 miles.  

The third story was the same friend's son that had broken his arm in three places.  The parents asked not to put a hard cast on the young man's wrist because he didnt want to lose all the muscle in his arm and miss the whole basketball season. 

They applied the DMSO 4-5 times per night and then applied moistened gauze and wrapped it in syran wrap overnight.  By the end of the first week the young man was able to do pushups on the wrist that was "broken." 

 The fourth story again involves me and only happened a couple weeks ago.  My ankles have been bad since I was a young kid.  I have a natural tendancy to step on the outside of my foot so my ankles roll very easy.  I really have no ligaments left to hold anything the way they should be. 

As I was preparing to leave for a volleyball tournament on the other side of the state I was removing a backseat from my jeep.  As I was walking through the landscape towards the garage I stepped on something uneven and rolled my left ankle while holding the 100 lb seat.

It was pretty painful but we needed to get on our way.  I sat and watched all day Saturday and Sunday and by the time I returned home my ankle was a balloon. (see the picture).​
