How DMSO Supports Your Sensory and Upper Respiratory Health

In this guest article, A Midwestern Doctor explores the powerful benefits of DMSO for your vision, hearing and upper respiratory health.

[rcpmd]

I suggest you read A Midwestern Doctor’s substack ‘The Forgotten Side of Medicine’ from October 31, 2024 titled “How DMSO Cures Eye, Ear, Nose,Throat and Dental Disease.”(https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-cures-eye-ear-nose-throat.) About 2/3rd of the way down in the article is a discussion of use of DMSO for tinnitus. I believe that this article is the primary reference for Dr. Mercola’s article mentioned above.

How DMSO Cures Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Dental Disease

Many of those "incurable" conditions respond remarkably to DMSO

[schreib69]

Yes, the MW Doc has really put out a near “book” on DMSO and tinnitus is mentioned. Even though I have an interest, as my tinnitus has worsened recently, I don’t recall seeing much in there about specifics; just that DMSO could help. It would be great to know if others have actually USED DMSO for this.

Essentially, as I understand the science of this, the cilial hairs in the inner ear have been damaged somehow and regeneration of some sort would be necessary to “fix” the original cause. Certainly, not something allopathic docs would bother attempting to address. I just used it this year, as has my wife, for the first time(70%conc w/aloe) with “some” good results. Wife found that without applying a bit of water to skin first she had skin itching; I had some but it was very minor and went away.

If I do an experiment and apply some near my ear. . . ??? behind it?? I will post results.

How about you? Gonna’ try it out?!

[sally ferrell]

I have read the articles but don’t see anything specific. I will try

topical application behind the ear & let you know if I see any changes.

[schreib69]

an hour ago I tried the 70% concentration w/ Aloe(Walmart) all around my ear.

Got excessive “burning/ tingling” and wiped it off after only a few minutes with wet paper towel. That resolved the issue of tingling and probably disipated the DMSO . . . no change in Tinnitus hum, of course.

Will try again with some wetness before app next time!

[Mary Lovins]

Thanks to everyone for the information. It does seem difficult to find specific information. I would like to try something, maybe DMSO with aloe behind or around the ear. I need to research DMSO more. It’s description as a solvent concerns me, especially if taken internally. I have a good place to start.

[Tracey Holekamp]

I’ve used DMSO Ain my practice for a long time. Contracting COVID has definitely worsened the tinnitus issue for many. Oral DMSO has not helped with tinnitus so far

So, what is your standard protocol?
100% conc. in 2 or 3 oz of water? Source for purest DMSO? link?

[IMA-GregT]

Very interested in this discussion. Have read all the MidWestern doctors articles on DMSO, have bought DMSO here in the UK, and I know the FLCCC is also doing a review. Not sure when it’s going to be available, but soonish, and will update everyone as soon as it is.

Have Tinnitus, (brought it on myself cleaning my ears,) so just waiting to read what might be able to be done.

[Lorna]

I have used DMSO successfully on scar tissue. It definitely softened it. My husband successfully used in on plantar fasciitis. I have tinnitus that has gotten so that it doesn’t bother me much, but I will also try it behind my ear to see if there are any results. I suspect it will take at least a month. Will report back.

[Metta]

I’m also curious if we need to avoid taking DSMO within 4 hours of taking morning medications for hypothyroidism, like Levothyroxine and Liothyronine.

My understanding is that minerals need to be avoided during the first 4 hours b/c they interfere with the assimilation of the medication. Didn’t know if the same principle applies to something like DMSO.

Any insights?

[Metta]

For those who do not have success with using DMSO for tinnitus, neural retraining and a variety of somatic therapies have been used with varying degrees of success, some quite dramatic.

I’ve gathered quite a few related resources in a small online library related to tinnitus, in case they might be helpful:

Wishing you all the best with your recovery!

[schreib69]

Whatever the case, I would be extra careful taking advice from anyone on that who is not a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. You have likely done this but first, I would look up those drugs and learn about them and how they work and metabolize, then discuss with someone of knowledge.

DMSO is a very potent solvent, no doubt. It apparently assists the transport of any chemistry on the surface of the skin already present and if there, expeditiously moves that chemistry into the body. If the chemistry in DMSO is reactive with the chemistry of the chemicals you describe(thyroid meds) it could likely react and moreso as the time which they meet coincides closer to the time when the meds are freshest and have yet to be metabolized.

I am a mechanical engineer, so take that with some grain of salt!

[schreib69]

thanks METTA, will read over the site. . . Looks like lots of useful info. . .

I’m glad if the tinnitus resources look promising. As you’ll see, many people have had great success. However, proper diagnosis of the cause is crucial:

And, if the tinnitus was triggered by a C-19 “vaccine”, then it is well worth investigating the best of the jab recovery protocols:

Best of luck!

[Metta]

Thank you, schreib69. That’s pretty much the same conclusion I came to about DMSO. Will be talking with my MD about this further next month.

In the meantime, I’m taking the meds in the AM and the DMSO in the evenings.

[Metta]

The DMSO I’m taking is available at the following web site, and they have medical professionals on staff to provide support:

Just for reference: The FLCCC has addressed tinnitus—in the context of both Long COVID and post-vaccine syndromes. Their “I-RECOVER” protocols offer insights into potential treatments:

Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN): The FLCCC suggests LDN for managing tinnitus associated with Long COVID and post-vaccine conditions. LDN, typically administered in doses ranging from 0.25 mg to 4.5 mg daily, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and neuromodulating properties. Some patients have reported temporary relief from tinnitus symptoms with LDN, experiencing periods where the tinnitus subsides for 30 to 45 minutes daily.

COVID-19 Critical Care

Additional Therapies:

• Anticoagulation: For patients exhibiting microcirculatory disturbances, the FLCCC considers anticoagulation therapy. However, this approach requires careful assessment due to potential bleeding risks.

  COVID-19 Critical Care

• Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Treatment: Addressing MCAS may alleviate certain symptoms, including tinnitus. The FLCCC recommends treatments targeting mast cell stabilization.

  COVID-19 Critical Care

• Behavioral and Sound Therapies: Approaches such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and sound therapy have been explored to help patients manage tinnitus symptoms. These therapies aim to reduce the perception and distress associated with tinnitus.

  COVID-19 Critical Care

It’s important to note that individual responses to these treatments can vary. Consulting with healthcare professionals experienced in managing Long COVID and post-vaccine symptoms is crucial to determine the most appropriate therapeutic approach for tinnitus.

thanks for the details Helen.

Personally, although I have tinnitus and it worsened a bit after getting jabbed twice, it is still not as terrible as some folks have. I basically only notice it when things are quiet– bedtime mostly. So, I have a white noise generator running or the overhead fan. It would be nice to simply see it gone but I have no issues of life-bending nature. So, for example, taking LDN for a half hour of relief is not worth it to me. Others? Maybe worth ever second.

If I was motivated enough it would be good to have a doc check me out for both mast cell concerns and coagulated blood. Wondering how I would address this with a doc? Just say: Hey doc, check my blood for coagulation and mast cell concerns? My local doc would just laugh. Maybe the folks at FLCCC would be more likely. . .

[schreib69]

thanks, I will try that next time.

The specifics in the substack seem to state the safety of applying 5 drops at 50% in the ear on the eardrum rather than behind it<div>

“… fve drops of 50% DMSO (in water) or 60% DMSO (in glycerin) three times per day for 74 days. During each application, they first laid on their side (with the ear facing up) for 15 minutes, then had a cotton plug placed in the ear so they could stand up but not have the DMSO leak out (which was then removed an hour later). Various tests and examinations were performed, and no signs of toxicity were detected… “

[Lorna]

That is very useful information. However, I’d want to check that out more before I try it. My tinnitus is intermittent and not that bad. Many days I don’t even notice it. That doesn’t make any risk worth it for me. Besides, I am a little preoccupied doing the Cancer Care protocol. I see FLCCC also has another protocol.
