IV DMSO Treatment for Neurological Issues
Right after I started the IVs back in December was that all was,
I mean, my brain was, it, it, it, it, I, I felt like it was clearer.
Like it was, like thoughts came very easy.
I didn't have to search for words. I didn't have to search for, um,
names. I didn't have to search for different
things and, and, and go, "What was
that? What was that?" I just, it, it's amazing how
clear
after I got the IV DMSO my brain was again.
After we got done with the exam, he, he, he looked at me, and he, um,
he sat down with me and after the exam, and he goes, "Look, I would
never tell somebody this on their first visit.
I think you have, uh, a motor neuron issue, and, um, and I
think it's ALS." And especially last winter, um, I started
going downhill and started having lots of breathing issues.
Um,
I was, uh, it would happen during the day, but the worst was at night
where I would find that, um,
my,
uh, breathing in the middle of the night, I'd wake up
five, 10 times a night it seemed like, um,
in a complete panic as though I was drowning,
um, as if my diaphragm had just stopped and,
and wasn't moving my lungs anymore.
And, and at times I'd have to force myself to
exhale before I could
inhale. Last winter, I thought I was
actually on the way downhill. In fact, we actually ordered a wheelchair.
"Do you ever use DMSO intravenously on an animal?"
And, uh, she said, "Yes, uh, I do." And I said, "Well, when would
you do that?" And she said, "Well, if I had an animal that was down
and couldn't get up,
um, and it had a severe neurological problem."
And I stopped her right there, and I
go, "Severe neurological problem and can't get up." I said,
"That sounds an awful
lot like ALS." And she says, "Yeah, it kind of does." I said, "Well," I said,
"So
you give it intravenously." I said, "Does it work?" And she goes, "Yeah,
many times
it does. Many times I can get the horse up on its
feet or the animal, I can get it
on its feet and start working with it and start treating it." And I said, "Well,
that's amazing." I said, "So we're using that for a severe
neurological
problem, uh, on an animal that can't get up, but we're
not doing this for humans?" And she said, "Yeah." So I thought, "Well, let's
try putting the DMSO on my spine. Let's see if my
spinal issues could have something to do with, with this." And
the thing that I found that was amazing was that within three
days of
s- of doing that, those, uh, episodes of waking
up like I was drowning completely stopped.
I started sleeping better. I started feeling better.
I started getting strength back in my arms.
I actually was able to pull the trusses across the road, you know, so 30
feet across the road to where the, the, the crane could pick them up, and
each of those trusses weighed 340 pounds.
And, uh, and I, I told my wife that, that night, I'm like, "I,
I can't believe it.
It's the first time in years that I've felt my muscles work
correctly in my arms." It showed that I had gone from spending
90% of the night, um, with my oxygen levels at 89 or
below to only 42% of the night.
And my longest episode had gone from 13 minutes
down to four minutes, and the number of episodes had greatly
decreased.
I stopped using the DMSO on the 31st of October.
I didn't tell my wife. I didn't tell anybody what I was doing.
The, the weakness in the legs and the arms started coming back.
Uh,
I, I, I noticed, uh, I was-- my endurance was dropping
off.
Um, I, I had, I, I just, I had no
energy. My wife, um, she came up and asked me, and
she said, she said, "Todd, it, it doesn't seem like the, the DMSO is
working."
And, um,
she goes, "You're, you're, you're not doing well. I don't understand.
What happened?" Within that first 24 hours after using the DMSO,
I was amazed at how much better I was feeling.
Um, and then over the next week, things just started to-- kept
getting better and better and better.
For the past 10 years, one of the things that I, I, I,
I noticed when all this all
started was the issues with my legs. They felt like wet noodles.
They felt like they didn't have strength, and I, I, I called it
my jelly legs. And even applying the topical
DMSO, I never got rid of the jelly legs.
Uh, I mean, there was improvements, but I never got rid of it.
Um,
but with the IV DMSO, it went away. Uh, they felt
stronger than they'd felt in 10 years.
And I sat down on his table, and I said, "Doc, check my reflexes."
He just looked at me, and he goes, "Okay."
He walked over,
and he, he, he checked the reflex, uh, at my, at my right knee,
and, um,
and it barely moved.
It hasn't done that in years. And he looked at me, and he goes, "Todd,
that was almost normal." I cannot describe enough the difference
between, um,
the way I was yesterday morning
before I went and got the IV and then yesterday evening and
then even today, um, and how, how much clearer
and articulate my brain is. Um, it's,
it's, it's amazing to me.
And, and, and literally how much better I feel,
how much better I can talk,
how much better I can breathe, especially the breathing.
