DMSO Myth Busting Series – Part 3: Answering Common Questions
DMSO Myth Busting Series – Part 3: Answering Common Questions
Can I Use DMSO? Video Overview
In Part 3 of her DMSO Myth-Busting Series, Amandha Vollmer (ADV) addresses a common question: Can I use DMSO for a particular condition or health concern? Rather than building the discussion around a list of diagnoses, ADV explains that her approach begins with understanding DMSO’s properties. From there, she considers how those properties might fit into a wider health protocol. She also points viewers toward her book, Healing with DMSO, as a resource for learning more about the substance.
ADV then works through the characteristics she considers most important, including membrane penetration and transdermal transport, connective-tissue effects, inflammation and pain, and what she describes as bacteriostatic and diuretic actions. She also discusses DMSO as a carrier that may influence nutrients and medications, followed by her perspective on acetylcholine and nervous-system function.
The final portion turns to circulation. ADV discusses vasodilation, muscle relaxation, platelet aggregation, cholesterol, blood clots and cardiovascular applications, before presenting her views on radioprotection and ischemic tissue injury. These therapeutic claims remain ADV’s statements from the video and should not be interpreted as established indications for DMSO.
What You’ll Learn About Using DMSO
- Why ADV answers “Can I use DMSO?” by first examining its properties rather than focusing only on a diagnosis
- How she describes DMSO’s membrane penetration, transdermal movement and transport characteristics
- Her discussion of connective tissue and cartilage
- How inflammation, analgesic effects and different types of pain enter her explanation
- ADV’s terrain-based interpretation of DMSO’s bacteriostatic activity
- Her discussion of DMSO as a diuretic, drug enhancer and influence on acetylcholine-related pathways
- How vasodilation, muscle relaxation, platelet aggregation and blood-clotting concerns enter the video
- ADV’s perspectives on radioprotection, EMF or X-ray exposure and ischemic tissue injury
Important Context & Safety
Educational context: This short video presents Amandha Vollmer’s perspectives, experience, clinical feedback and interpretation of DMSO research. It includes claims involving kidney concerns, memory and Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, heart attack and stroke prevention or recovery, blood clots, cholesterol, radiation or EMF exposure and ischemic injury. Current U.S. prescribing information identifies DMSO for intravesical treatment of symptoms of interstitial cystitis and states that it has not been approved for other indications.
ADV also discusses DMSO as an enhancer of nutrients and drugs. Current prescribing information states that topical DMSO is absorbed and that it may change the effectiveness of medications a person is already taking. The same labelling reports occasional hypersensitivity reactions following topical administration. Anyone using prescription medication, particularly treatment affecting blood pressure or clotting, or considering internal DMSO use should discuss individual risks and possible interactions with an appropriately qualified clinician or pharmacist.
Medical emergencies: Information in this video should not be used to delay emergency assessment or treatment for symptoms of stroke, heart attack, serious head injury or another medical emergency.

Introduction: Can I Use DMSO?
Amandha: Welcome to part three of my DMSO Education Series, and your questions are directing the play. I am listening to your comments and private messages, and I’m hearing where you have knowledge gaps that need filling, and I’m here to help you with that. The topic I wish to address today is the common question: “I have this particular condition or ailment. Can I use DMSO?”
Amandha: And the answer is yes. Because DMSO has so many healing properties, it can be used and incorporated into pretty much any healing protocol that you’re using. When it comes to DMSO, you just need a little bit of education to get you moving along. Once you have that information, knowledge is power, and you can begin to run with it.
Amandha: That’s one reason why I wrote my book, Healing with DMSO. Just be careful: there are rip-off copies out there, so make sure it has my name, Amandha Vollmer, on the bottom of it. I wrote this 10 years ago. It was published right before the COVID debacle. Ten years of making blends and using it and getting patient testimonies and feedback and clinical feedback, and it’s very, very, very effective for pretty much any condition.
Understanding DMSO Properties and Transport
Amandha: What’s important to understand are the properties of DMSO rather than the condition it treats. If you understand how it operates, then you best know how to apply it into your regimen. So I’m just going to go through the main incredible actions of DMSO so that you have a better understanding. I do cover this in my book, but I want to summarize it for you so that you are empowered with that deeper level of knowledge on the properties of this incredible substance that’s extracted from the lignin of trees.
Amandha: It’s literally what keeps the trees strong and upright. So I’m going to list them off for you. These are more technical terms, but I’ll do my best to help you understand.
Amandha: So the main one is that it penetrates membranes. It is transdermal, which means it goes across skin. It penetrates all membranes, whether you take it internally or use it topically.
Amandha: It additionally is part of membrane transport, so it enhances delivery of nutrients in the body. It has specific chemical properties to attract certain things, repel other things, and it uses its communication with water and its transport qualities in conjunction with water to propel itself throughout the body.
Amandha: DMSO has profound effects on all connective tissue. You can think of connective tissue as the glue that holds your organs in place, and there are many layers to it. There are four types of connective tissue that I won’t get into in this video, but it has a profound effect on it, for example, cartilage.
Inflammation, Pain, Microbes, and Medication Effects
Amandha: It is called anti-inflammatory, but I don’t like using the term “anti” really anything, because inflammation is purposeful in the body. The problem is when inflammation becomes stuck or runaway. Therefore, if you can address inflammation, which often is the cause of a lot of pain, and calm down those systems along with the other properties of DMSO, you can really get to the resolution of the problem.
Amandha: DMSO is an analgesic, so it actually is a nerve blocker and supports people who have a lot of different types of pain. That’s really one of its main claims to fame, that it helps with pain. That’s where it’s really known, for example, in the horse-racing industry.
Amandha: DMSO is considered bacteriostatic, although, as you know, I teach about the terrain and that the germ theory is false. We don’t really look at it as, “Oh, it’s killing or eradicating.” What it does is allow for the body to remove dead, dying, and damaged tissue without the need of multiple microbes in the area, and so it will down-regulate that need and take care of the problem without that particular bacteria species or any of those breakdown products being necessary.
Amandha: It is a gentle diuretic, and it’s very helpful for people who are having kidney issues.
Amandha: It is a drug enhancer. It will enhance what you are taking, whether it’s a nutrient or a drug. DMSO also offers a bit of wisdom where it seems to know when something needs to be in the body versus not, and so it will also up-regulate detoxification. DMSO is also a cholinesterase inhibitor, and cholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine.
Amandha: These are important chemicals, biochemicals, or neurotransmitters that help your nervous system function optimally in both nervous-system sets, and therefore it can help with learning, memory, recall, all sorts of things you would associate. For example, cholinesterase inhibitors are used in Alzheimer’s to help with memory.
Circulation, Platelets, Radiation Discussion, and Closing
Amandha: DMSO is a vasodilator, and this is why it’s so helpful for hypertension and its claim to fame when it comes to heart attacks and stroke prevention and recovery, blood clots, and so forth. It’s one of its most famous traits.
Amandha: It is a wonderful muscle relaxant, which is one of the reasons that my 50 percent enriched cosmetic solution with magnesium, so it’s a 50 percent magnesium and DMSO solution that I have on DMSO.Store, is one of my top sellers.
Amandha: DMSO is an antagonist to platelet aggregation, which is what I was alluding to when I’m talking about blood clotting. So if you have a blood-clotting disorder, this is a very, very effective remedy to help with this sort of platelet issue.
Amandha: Because of its inflammatory-modulating effects, it naturally has a cholesterol-stabilizing aspect because cholesterol is produced by your body when you’re in hyperinflammation states, which can cause secondary and tertiary problems. DMSO helps to relieve that issue and calm down the production of cholesterol because it doesn’t need to, because DMSO is doing the job.
Amandha: One of the lesser-known qualities about dimethyl sulfoxide is that it has radioprotective qualities. This means for EMF exposure or X-ray exposure, it is best taken in prevention, but it can also heal the tissues after exposure. So if you are going in an airplane or to an airport, or you’re getting a procedure done that involves radiation, or you’re just in a lot of EMF fields all the time, then using it on a regular basis can protect the cells and tissues from that exposure.
Amandha: And, of course, I can’t leave out its ability to protect and repair ischemic injury, which is basically any type of tissue injury, bone break. The rapid healing that it has provided for all sorts of conditions, from skin to organs to bones, is really quite incredible. Please follow along and learn more about DMSO.
