Episode notes
DMSO's Unique Dual Role
- DMSO dissolves both water and fat-soluble compounds, ferrying them through cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier.
- It shields healthy cells by selectively acting as an antioxidant while leaving cancer cells vulnerable.
DMSO Overcomes Cancer Cell Barriers
- DMSO disrupts the fibrin-like mesh that cancer cells create to block drugs.
- This unraveling lowers drug resistance and increases cancer cell death across various tumor types.
Lower Chemo Doses With DMSO
- DMSO concentrates chemotherapy agents inside tumors, allowing up to 1,000-fold dose reductions.
- Lower drug doses reduce side effects like bone marrow suppression and neuropathy.
