Summary

Story at-a-glance

DMSO is an "umbrella remedy" capable of treating a wide range of challenging ailments due to its combination of therapeutic properties (e.g., reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and reviving dying cells)
One of DMSO's unique properties is its ability to enter through the skin and carry anything it dissolves with it as it rapidly travels throughout the body, greatly enhancing the potency and viability of many pharmaceutical drugs
Because of this, numerous pharmaceutical preparations over the years have combined DMSO with a commonly used drug, and in many cases, demonstrated significant safety and efficacy of the combination to drug regulators
These DMSO combination therapies are able to treat challenging illnesses, such as significant musculoskeletal injuries, antibiotic resistant infections, persistent fungal and viral infections, chemotherapy resistant cancers, and chronic pain
Many of the most promising uses of DMSO result from combining it with another natural or conventional therapy, as in many cases, a combination can do what DMSO cannot do alone for someone. This article examines the clinical evidence for specific DMSO combination therapies

0:38.3	I'm Alara Sky, here to unpack how DMSO's rapid skin penetration amplifies medicines for chronic pain,

0:57.0	First, DMSO isn't just an anti-inflammatory.
1:00.4	It revives struggling cells, clears swelling, and improves circulation.
1:05.0	Thousands of studies link those traits to relief in sprains, burns, nerve injuries,
1:10.0	autoimmune flares, and degenerative joint pain.
1:13.3	Yet its most dramatic results appear when you pair it with targeted agents that do what DMSO alone can't.
1:19.8	That synergy starts with transport. Once DMSO touches your skin, lab work shows it spreads throughout your
1:26.2	body in under an hour, carrying dissolved
