Summary

A thread documenting decades of evidence that DMSO, a solvent used by NFL players and veterinarians, effectively treats chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries with an 80-90% success rate and no recorded deaths, yet the FDA has refused to approve it despite Congressional pressure since 1980. The author argues DMSO is safer than NSAIDs and opioids while presenting athlete testimonials and medical studies supporting its therapeutic potential.

    NFL quarterback Jim Miller used DMSO from a horse farm to play seasons through injuries the league's painkillers couldn't fix. He's not the only one — pro athletes have quietly used it for decades while the FDA refuses to approve it. But DMSO isn't just for pro athletes. It has an 80-90% success rate for musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain, with thousands of patients documented across decades of clinical use and thousands more readers reporting identical results. Most importantly, unlike NSAIDs and opioids which kill tens of thousands of Americans annually, DMSO has never been linked to a single death.🧵

    Here I present the decades of evidence showing DMSO revolutionizes the treatment of chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries, including why the FDA buried it and how you can use it at home. midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-is-a-mi…

    In 1980, Atlanta Falcons quarterback June Jones told Congress his career would have ended without DMSO and that a man who hadn't walked in 6 years, within 2 weeks of DMSO. This is an interview he gave to 60 minutes about DMSO's underground use in the NFL after which the FDA promised to Congress they'd stop stonewalling DMSO...but 45 years later, nothing has changed.

    Athletes at every level have quietly used DMSO for decades. Here are a few of the many reports I've received from readers. These come from a collection of over 8,000 testimonials I've received of remarkable improvements from using DMSO: midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-remarkab…

    Full interview by @RebeccaTig with Jim Miller, the NFL quarterback who played 13 years in the league and used DMSO throughout his career. He retells finding it on a horse farm, how teammates reacted, & why he'd choose it over the Toradol shots the NFL gives players before games

    But DMSO doesn't just treat sports injuries. Jackson suffered the same spinal break as Christopher Reeve playing hockey. Doctors said he'd never walk, breathe, or move again. His mom secretly rubbed DMSO on him in the ICU. The side she could reach more recovered faster. He's now walking and hasn't used his wheelchair in weeks. His story was covered by six news stations but none of them knew about the DMSO.

    Vets have used DMSO for decades to get paralyzed animals back on their feet from severe nerve injuries. Yet it's never done for humans. Here I present a thousand studies and reader reports proving DMSO treats "incurable" spinal injuries and chronic pain. midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-hea…

    In 1980, Congress grilled the FDA on blocking DMSO. Dr. Stanley Jacob testified it has the widest therapeutic range of any single chemical in medical history. 45 years later, it remains unapproved while NSAIDs and opioids kill tens of thousands annually. midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-is-a-mi…
