Dimexide is a solution containing colorless crystals. When treating various joint diseases, applying a compress to the joints with Dimexide is indicated to relieve pain and inflammation.
The drug has unique properties. It easily penetrates skin tissue and acts directly on the site of inflammation. In addition to a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, the product helps to activate metabolic processes in joint tissues, which accelerates the regeneration of damaged areas.
Dimexide is used not only in the course of treatment for arthrosis and arthritis. For bruises, damaged ligaments, radiculitis, compresses using it will be very effective.
Before applying the compress, it is necessary to conduct an allergy test. To do this, apply a little solution to the skin on the inside of the elbow. After half an hour, you can evaluate the reaction. If redness or irritation occurs, do not apply a compress. Allergic reactions to the use of Dimexide occur quite often.
In addition to possible individual intolerance to the drug, there are other contraindications to its use:
Such compresses cannot be the only treatment for any indication. They are used as part of complex therapy.
With this disease, the compress helps slow down degenerative processes in the joints. As a result, the use of Dimexide can alleviate the course of the disease and improve the quality of life. In this case, the optimal concentration of the solution for the compress will be determined strictly individually, since it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the skin and tissues surrounding the joints.
If the compress is applied to the knee joint in front, then the optimal proportion of medicine and water will be 1:2
For use on delicate skin, for example, on the back of the knee, a sufficient concentration would be 1:3 or even 1:4. For a better effect, you can use not water, but a 0.5% Novocaine solution.
At least 10 sessions will be required. You can use gauze or a gauze pad filled with cotton wool for a compress.
When there is an inflammatory process in the joint capsule, it is necessary to get rid of unpleasant sensations in order to ensure a normal quality of life for the patient. Some forms of the disease cause severe pain. For example, Baker's cyst with arthrosis. To relieve pain, apply a compress of Dimexide with Novocaine.
To treat injuries and bruises, compresses often form the basis of treatment. But for open wounds, skin lesions, and infected areas, not all medications can be used. Dimexide is one of the few products that have unique properties that allow it to be used even in such difficult cases. The compress helps relieve inflammation and kills germs. Dimexide dissolves the microbial film, thereby acting against infection.
The most effective for rheumatoid arthritis is a compress of Dimexide with Novocaine, used during electrophoresis. This procedure can significantly alleviate the course of the disease:
To treat a rather rare disease, a solution of Dimexide, Novocaine and additional components is most often used. In each case, the medications used in combination with these drugs are selected strictly individually. With this disease, you should not self-medicate or neglect the body, as this can cause a complete loss of performance.
It is important to properly prepare the product for use. 1 tablespoon of the drug is diluted with the same amount of water. For the compress, gauze is used, which is folded in several layers and moistened in the solution. It is permissible to use only gauze cloth. A sterile bandage is best.
A bandage soaked in the solution should be applied to the sore joint and covered with plastic wrap on top.
A piece of cotton fabric is placed on the polyethylene. All this must then be secured with a bandage.
Depending on the degree of damage and localization of the pathological process, you can keep such lotions for 20, 30 or even 50 minutes on the sore joint. But holding the compress for longer than 50 minutes is strictly prohibited. The course of treatment can last 1-2 weeks. In this case, it is permissible to carry out the procedure once daily. You can apply a compress to your knees, elbows and any joints affected by the disease.
The exact dosage, frequency of application of the compress, as well as the duration of the course of treatment is determined in each case only by the attending physician. You should not prescribe treatment for yourself. This can be fraught with unpleasant consequences, the minimum possible of which is a severe allergic reaction.
The correct treatment is selected by a qualified doctor for each patient individually, depending on the diagnosis, the degree of development of the disease and the body’s tolerance to the drug.
It is also important to follow the instructions for use of the product. The solution cannot be prepared in advance. Only the solution prepared immediately before use is suitable for use. After a few hours, the effectiveness of the drug will completely disappear.
The need to use gauze fabric of maximum purity is explained by the fact that when Dimexide penetrates the skin, it promotes the penetration of dyes and other substances from the compress fabric into the tissue. The result can be a very severe allergic reaction.
For severe pain, prepare a solution for compresses with the addition of novocaine. But such compresses can only be applied under the supervision of a doctor. Only a qualified specialist will be able to calculate the dosage and properly prepare the solution.
A compress made from Dimexide allows you to get rid of inflammation of the joints with a variety of lesions very quickly. With its help, most patients almost instantly experience relief, as they are freed from pain that accompanies joint damage due to the inflammatory process of arthrosis or arthritis.
Doctors say that a compress for gout with Dimexide is one of the best ways to cope with joint disease. With the help of this procedure it will be possible to get rid of debilitating pain and speed up the healing process. How to use Dimexide correctly and how long treatment should last can be found out from your doctor by contacting him with symptoms of gouty arthritis.
The synthetic drug "Dimexide" is intended for external use and is widely used in the treatment of skin pathologies, pain in muscles and joints, as well as in combination with other medications to enhance their ability to penetrate the dermis and mucous membranes. Dimexide has a pronounced antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and it also promotes the dissolution of intravascular blood clots.
Often, compresses are made from Dimexide, which can be used by gout patients to relieve intense pain, reduce swelling and facilitate movement. Applying a lotion soaked in a solution helps prevent the deposition of uric acid, dissolve crystals and stop the acute period of the disease.
Usually the medicine is well tolerated, but occasionally the patient’s body may react negatively to the Dimexide medicinal substances entering it. Then the following undesirable effects arise:
Patients with individual intolerance to the substances contained in Dimexide are most susceptible to developing side symptoms.
The pharmaceutical preparation in question can be purchased in the form of a gel and a solution, which is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint odor. For the treatment of gout, a liquid form of the drug is used containing the active substance - dimethyl sulfoxide. The medical drug “Dimexide” owes its therapeutic effects to this component.
Penetrating through the skin and mucous membrane, “Dimexide” increases their permeability for the unimpeded penetration of other medicinal substances. But the described medicine has found wide application in various fields of medicine due to its therapeutic effects:

Doctors recommend starting treatment for gout with Dimexide at the first signs of the disease. The joints of the toes most often suffer from gouty arthritis, but the hands, elbows, and knees are also affected. It is in these parts of the body that redness, burning of the skin and severe pain appear. Emergency measures will help achieve a lasting positive effect and prevent the occurrence of acute attacks. Therapy can be carried out independently at home, but only after consultation with a qualified physician.
The effective remedy “Dimexide” copes well with gout if you make compresses from it. This method of therapy has practically no restrictions on its use, so it can be used by all patients who need to quickly relieve pain and stop the inflammatory focus. To prepare the medicine, take a tablespoon of the solution and mix it with the same amount of water. Soak gauze folded in 3-4 layers with liquid and apply to the problem area. Fix the compress on top with polyethylene, cover with a heated cloth and scarf and leave for half an hour. The duration of the course is one and a half weeks. To speed up recovery, it is recommended to additionally use anti-inflammatory drugs. Chondroxide and Dolgit are highly effective. They are applied 2-3 times a day until the expected therapeutic effect is achieved.
In the fight against gout, the combination of the solution in question with the pharmaceutical drug Novocain shows excellent results. This combination helps to quickly eliminate severe pain, so it is advisable to use it during an acute attack. To make a compress, buy Dimexide with Novocaine at the pharmacy and pour 30 ml of the first and 50 ml of the last solution into a container. The components are mixed and gauze is moistened in the resulting medicinal liquid. Apply the impregnated piece to the problem area, cover it with polyethylene, warm cloth and wrap it with a woolen scarf. The compress should be kept for no more than an hour.
Arthritis is the scourge of modern society; people are getting younger every year. Infants become patients with this diagnosis. Disease is understood as inflammatory processes occurring in the body, most often in connective tissues and joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis is treated with medications. Doctors recommend using complex treatment. Traditional medicine, in particular the use of external remedies, justifies its use.
Compress is an effective treatment method. Compresses for the treatment of arthritis will help relieve pain and block the development of inflammatory processes. Not everyone has information on how to apply compresses for arthritis.
Additional treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is carried out with the consent of the doctor, so as not to cause harm to health.
Most believe that compresses have no contraindications and do not cause complications. If you do not observe the temperature regime of the procedures, or use substances without the knowledge of the doctor, you can get:
Compresses for sore joints are made using various components.
Applications with dimexide are applied to the affected joints that cause the greatest discomfort and pain. Positive dynamics when used are observed in 70% of patients. Improvements are felt after a course of 2 to 6 days, the best option is 2 weeks.
When using compresses with dimexide, adhere to the following rules:
The procedures are carried out once every day. Your doctor will help you choose the correct course duration.
When treating rheumatoid arthritis, a combination with honey and cinnamon will have a great effect. Use honey internally and for compresses.
Interested in external use. To prepare a compress with honey, it is diluted with warm water in a ratio of 1:2. Half of the cinnamon is added to the solution and the mixture is rubbed on arthritic joints. To obtain maximum effect, use insulation, a kind of compress for damaged areas.
The following compresses are used:
Joints need collagen to function properly. There is a lot of it in edible gelatin. Gelatin-based compresses will strengthen the structure of the joints.
Doctors recommend applying compresses to joints for a month. The procedure requires 2 level teaspoons. This is filled with 100 ml of water at room temperature. Gelatin is left to swell overnight. In the morning, the jelly is applied to the fabric and placed on the damaged area, insulated. The duration of the compress is 20 minutes.
Since ancient times, damaged joints have been treated with oatmeal. Compresses help reduce pain in the inflamed area of the lower limb. For a compress, pour 5 tablespoons of boiling water and cook for five minutes.
Cool the porridge to body temperature. After application, the area treated with porridge is wrapped in film and insulated with a wool cloth. The duration of the procedure is no more than half an hour. After the porridge is washed off with warm water, the joints damaged by arthritis are again wrapped in wool. The compress is applied throughout the night; discuss the duration with your doctor.
Do not confuse vodka compresses with the rubbing procedure. They are united exclusively by the main component.
The main goal of procedures in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is to relieve inflammation and pain.
To prepare a vodka compress you will need the following:
The compress is left on the damaged joints overnight; the duration of the course of treatment should be agreed with the doctor.
A compress with vodka is a piece of material that is soaked in it. The fabric is placed on the damaged area and wrapped with compress paper. Vodka compresses are used warm or cold. Cold is understandable. But few people know how to make a warm compress from vodka. It's simple. A lighted match is brought to the cloth moistened with vodka; when burning begins, the compress material is extinguished and applied to the damaged area.
For vodka compresses, tinctures based on it are used. A tincture based on the mullein plant gives a good effect in the treatment of arthritis. The compress should be prepared in advance. For 0.5 liters of vodka, take 100 grams of dried plant flowers and leave in a dark place for three weeks. Compresses with this tincture are made in a similar way and left overnight.
When choosing an option, the compress made should be wrapped in a woolen cloth. You should not use compresses as the only method in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The use is justified and gives positive dynamics as a parallel means in the main drug treatment. Additional actions for the treatment of arthritis should be coordinated with the doctor; based on the studies and medical history, he can judge the effectiveness of the treatment. Otherwise, the patient assumes responsibility for the outcome of treatment.
Joint diseases require complex treatment. Therapy includes medications for oral administration, injection, and external treatment of the area where inflammation and pain have occurred. One of the local remedies is Dimexide: a compress with this liquid is very useful for sore joints. When mixing the solution for application to the affected areas, you must observe the proportions and follow the rules of use.
Dimexide is a liquid dosage form that has an anesthetic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effect. It has the ability to penetrate the membranes of pathogenic microorganisms, changing their sensitivity to antibacterial agents. Active ingredient: a substance called dimethyl sulfoxide.
The content of the active substance in the blood is detected within 10 - 15 minutes after application to the skin. It is excreted by the kidneys and after 30-36 hours it is no longer detectable in the blood.
This drug is compatible with heparin, NSAIDs, and antibiotics, which allows it to be included in complex therapy for severe lesions of the skin, tissues and joints. But, if the lesion is located deep under the skin (4 - 5 cm from the surface of the epidermis), a compress with Dimexide will not have any effect. In addition, dimethyl sulfoxide enhances the effect of some other substances, which leads to increased toxicity of other drugs. Therefore, before use, consult your doctor and inform him about the medications you are taking, if any.
This product is used only externally, locally. If accidentally ingested, it has a toxic effect on the body. This is manifested by nausea, vomiting, and severe disturbances in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
There are several ways to properly apply a compress with Dimexide to joints. To do this, this solution is mixed with other drugs. These are anesthetics (Novocaine), glucocorticosteroids (Hydrocortisone), NSAIDs (Diclofenac). Which medications to use depends on the disease and the purpose for which such a compress is used.
To relieve pain, a compress with Dimexide and Novocaine is suitable.
To prepare this mixture take:
A compress with Dimexide and Hydrocortisone will help relieve inflammation. It is also applied to the joint that is affected by the disease.
For this tool you will need:
30 ml of Novocaine is also added to this mixture to also obtain an analgesic effect.
For sore joints, a compress of Dimexide with Diclofenac is prescribed. It will require Diclofenac sodium in the form of an injection solution. Mix one ampoule of it with equal parts of water and dimexide (30 - 50 ml each). This composition is used for inflammation. If you add Lidocaine (1 - 2 ampoules) to the mixture, the product will also have an analgesic effect.
Like any drug, this drug must be used strictly according to the instructions so as not to harm yourself.
Dimexide is prescribed for the following diseases:
Compresses with this remedy should not be applied to joints in the following cases:
Important! This drug is not prescribed for pregnant women and women during lactation, children under 12 years of age.
The following reactions are possible as side effects: excessive dryness of the skin at the site of application, pigmentation, contact dermatitis. In case of hypersensitivity to the drug, nausea, vomiting, and bronchospasm occur.
In case of overdose (using a solution of inappropriate concentration, non-compliance with the treatment regimen), urticaria, swelling and other allergic reactions are likely. In this case, the drug is removed from the skin and treatment is stopped.
This solution is not used for applications in its pure form; it must be diluted with clean water. The pharmacy sells a concentrate of this substance; if you apply it undiluted to the skin, you can get a burn.
You need to prepare the solution for the compress strictly following the proportions.
Treatment with the drug should be carried out as prescribed by a doctor, who will determine what concentration is necessary in a particular case.
The weaker the solution is needed, the more water needs to be added to it.
To properly make a compress with Dimexide and novocaine, hydrocortisone or another agent, you must strictly follow the indicated proportions. You cannot immediately mix the compress solution for the entire course of treatment. For each procedure, make a fresh composition.
After mixing all the ingredients, soak a gauze pad in the resulting solution and carefully apply it to the painful or inflamed area. Cover the top with cellophane film or special paper, wrap it with a warm scarf or handkerchief. The compress lasts from 30 minutes. up to 1 hour. It is not recommended to hold the application longer to avoid skin irritation or even burns. These procedures need to be repeated 2-3 times a day, the course duration can be up to two weeks. But the treatment regimen for each patient is individual and is determined by the doctor.
Important! Before applying the compress, perform a susceptibility test. To do this, a 30% solution of the drug is applied to clean skin with a cotton swab. If after 4 - 5 minutes redness, itching or another reaction appears, the drug is contraindicated.
When treating joints with compresses with this solution, use only gauze or white cotton cloth. This rule is due to the fact that by penetrating through the skin into the body tissues, the product promotes the penetration of dyes from the material used for the compress into the body, and this will cause allergic reactions.
Dimexide is an effective remedy against pain and inflammation. Due to its high ability to be absorbed into tissues and quickly penetrate to the lesion, it is widely used in medicine. But this medicine has contraindications, and its use requires compliance with the rules. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it independently for treatment.
The product exhibits special properties, penetrating into tissues through the skin, and also acting on the area of inflammation. In addition to the indicated anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effect, the medicine helps to activate metabolism in tissues, enhancing regenerative processes.
But Dimexide therapy is not limited to arthrosis and arthritis. The use of such compresses shows excellent results for bruises, radiculitis, and ligament damage.
The medicine is used for a number of diseases, as well as to relieve obsessive symptoms, such as:
Treatment of joints with Dimexide is carried out mainly to reduce inflammation, which, in turn, relieves pain, swelling, discomfort, burning, and impaired mobility. Trauma infiltrates are also reduced. But the use of this drug is possible only if safety precautions are observed.
Before applying a compress with this remedy to the area of inflammation, it is necessary to do an allergy test to the drug. The product quite often causes side effects in the form of rashes, itching, swelling, and redness of the skin. Therefore, you cannot use this technique without an allergy test. Apply the concentrated solution to the inside of the elbow, and a day later evaluate the condition of the skin. If irritation occurs, do not use the drug in the form of a compress or in any other way.
Important! Dimexide quite often causes allergic reactions. It cannot be used even together with antihistamines, as there is a risk of developing angioedema.
There are also other contraindications to the drug:
Remember that compresses with Dimexide are not the only remedy in therapy. Only comprehensive comprehensive treatment can give good results.
This drug is excellent in treating injuries and joint diseases, relieving the main symptoms. In compresses the following are used as auxiliary means:
These components allow you to dilute Dimexide concentrate for safe use, and some substances enhance or complement the effect of the drug on areas of inflammation or damage. For the treatment of joints, Dimexide solutions with a concentration of 25–50% are used.
With this disease, degenerative processes develop in the joints, which accelerate tissue destruction. The use of Dimexide will make it possible to significantly slow down the process, relieve or reduce the severity of symptoms. The drug concentration is calculated based on the thickness of the skin and tissues that surround the joints.
Treatment of the knee joint requires on average the usual dosage - 2:1, where 2 are portions of water, and 1 is a portion of medication. This solution is suitable for treating the outside of the knee, where the skin is rougher than the inside. For the inside of the knee, the concentration is as follows: three parts water and one part Dimexide. If the skin is very delicate, then it is better to take four servings of water. To increase efficiency, Novocain (0.5%) is used instead of a certain amount of water. 10–15 sessions are carried out.
Bursitis, synovitis are pathologies in which inflammation affects the joint capsules. Mobility is significantly impaired, crunching or clicking sounds are heard when moving. Some types of disease can bring severe pain into a person’s life, for example, forms such as Baker’s cyst, which develops against the background of arthrosis.
In the treatment of bursitis and synovitis, Dimexide with Novocaine is used. This mixture quickly relieves pain and also reduces the area of inflammation. Compresses are applied according to the same principle as for arthrosis.
Dimexide is one of those rare medicines that can be used externally, even if there are wounds, infected areas, or skin damage on the skin. The product has an antiseptic effect and will relieve inflammation and swelling of the affected area.
To enhance the wound healing effect, lavender oil is added to diluted Dimexide.
For this diagnosis, a solution of Dimexide and Novocaine is best used during electrophoresis. This physiotherapeutic method will help to introduce beneficial substances into the deep layers of the skin and joints, providing a more pronounced effect on inflamed areas:
With this method of administering the solution, the disease recedes much faster, and the remission stage lasts much longer.
This rare disease is quite severe. Treatment is also selected based on the patient’s personal data. In addition to Dimexide, Novocain and other components are used in compresses.
You cannot self-medicate, as the consequences are difficult to predict. Most often, without adequate therapy, a person’s performance is completely lost.
Proportions must be carefully observed. Making a concentrated solution of the medicine is strictly prohibited, otherwise there is a risk of severe allergic symptoms. If a compress with Dimexide is applied to areas with rough, thick skin, then the proportions of water and medication are 2:1. If the product is applied to thin skin (inner parts of the knees, elbows, etc.), then, accordingly, the proportions increase - up to 3:1 or 4:1.
For a compress, a bandage and gauze are used, folded in several layers. You can make a layer of cotton wool. Other types of fabrics cannot be used. A bandage soaked in the substance is applied to the affected area, after which it is covered with polyethylene.
A cotton cloth is already placed on the film, and this compress is fixed with a bandage. She should hold, but not push. Colored fabrics cannot be used, since Dimexide enhances the transport ability of the integument, which leads to the rapid absorption of dyes into the skin. The result may be a severe allergic reaction.
If the degree of damage to the joint is high, then the product is left on the painful area for 50 minutes, in normal cases - for 20-30 minutes. Keeping the medicine on the skin for more than an hour is prohibited. The course of treatment usually lasts about two weeks - bandages are applied daily. Compresses can be applied to any areas of the body affected by pathological processes or injuries.
If you apply special ointments (Dolgit, Chondroxide) to the skin before the procedure, their beneficial substances will penetrate faster and deeper into the tissues of the skin and joints.
Your doctor will determine the more precise dosage of your medication. He will take into account the degree of damage, area of influence, severity of symptoms, and tolerability of the drug. You should also follow the instructions for this medicine. You cannot prepare the solution in advance, nor can you use the solution left over from the previous time. The diluted drug is effective only for the first few hours. After that, its effect decreases to almost zero coefficient. If the pain is severe, then part of the water is replaced with novocaine. Such compresses can only be done under the supervision of a doctor.
I’ve known about the use of dimexide for a long time, but I haven’t had to use it myself. Until 2 years ago, my knee joint became seriously ill. The ointments had a short-term effect. And I remembered about treatment with dimexide.
This is an oil solution with the smell of garlic. It is used externally in the form of applications. It is imperative to dilute dimexide with water 1:3 or 1:4. It is even better to dilute with a solution of novocaine or analgin. Then an anesthetic will be added to the anti-inflammatory effect.
Due to the fact that the dimexide solution penetrates deeply into the muscles and joints, its effect is compared to a physiotherapy procedure. Therefore, the course of treatment lasts 10-15 days.
The application is made like a regular compress - put cellophane on a napkin with a solution and wrap it warmly.
Start with 5 minutes and gradually increase to 30-60 minutes. It all depends on the sensitivity of the skin. Women have more sensitive skin, but they are also more patient. There is no need to endure anything. There should be a slight tingling sensation. Otherwise you may get burned.
I did the compress for 7 days, then it got better and I gave up on it. Of course there is an effect.
But it is quite troublesome and tiring to carry around with a compress every evening. And most importantly, it is difficult to wash off this oil solution with a not very pleasant smell. For some reason I didn’t think to wear gloves.
There are many indications - arthrosis, osteochondrosis, bruises, neuralgia. There are also plenty of contraindications.
I have been using Dimexide solution for a very long time. This solution has a very broad spectrum of action. Compresses with this drug are excellent for treating various pains in muscles and joints. And also tracheitis and bronchitis. But the most valuable thing for me is the use of the drug as a mouth rinse. Problems such as redness of the throat or sore throat with many ulcers go away very quickly after using Dimexide solution (a teaspoon of concentrate, a furatsilin tablet and a glass of water).
Dimexide solution can also help in case of tooth root inflammation. Simultaneously rinsing with the solution and applying a compress helped me save a tooth that most likely would have been removed, since the gumboil was very, very serious. Subsequently, the tooth was successfully cured.
Now about the unpleasant stuff. The Dimexide solution is very bad and smells very strongly, it’s not clear whether it’s garlic or something. Anyone planning to rinse their mouth should prepare themselves mentally. Personally, I can stand it calmly, but my older sister was constantly vomiting. Also, I noticed one interesting property of the solution. Wherever I apply the compress, after some time, the taste of Dimexide appears in my mouth.
Warning. Any compress cannot be kept for more than 15-25 minutes, as you can get a serious burn. Be careful and careful!
My mother has stage 2 arthrosis of one knee; surgery is not yet required, and the doctor prescribes some medications.
One of the prescribed drugs is Dimexide.
The drug is inexpensive, there are good reviews about it, it is inexpensive, it promises anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which is exactly what is necessary, because the mother does not sleep well because of her leg.
But in reality, the drug turned out to be simply useless. Every time, during the 10 prescribed sessions, my mother listened to her body, but she did not feel any relief from her condition.
And this solution is not easy to use. Part of it needs to be poured into a glass container, diluted with water, a tampon with the prepared solution should be applied to the sore spot, polyethylene on top, then a cloth, then a bandage, and sit like that for half an hour before going to bed. Plus, it smells terrible. Some say it’s garlic, but to me it’s just some kind of skunk. When you wash your hands after such a compress, they still stink all night, not to mention the smell in the room.
The only advantage is that dimexide has a warming property and relieves pain by about 20 percent, but by morning it returns in full. And my knee always turned very red after the compress.
I first heard the name “Dimexide” from a friend when I complained to her that after my second birth, my hair became completely “not very good”: thin and regularly falling out. Even though I’ve been trying to strengthen them for the last few years, I make masks, buy the “right” shampoos and conditioners. Then she advised me to make masks with Dimexide.
In general, “Dimexide” is a universal remedy. It helps with bruises, sprains, arthritis, osteoporosis; with purulent wounds; burns, as well as coughing. But be careful: this good drug also has contraindications! It is sold in a pharmacy (price approx. 60 rubles) in the form of a concentrate. Be careful and careful. Read about dimexide on the Internet. It can be very beneficial, but it can also be harmful if you add too much of it or don't mix it properly!
But to treat all of the above, I did not use Dimexide, but I have been using a hair mask with it for a month now (once a week), I see a positive result and therefore I want to share the recipe with you. The composition is completely natural. According to the volume of the resulting mixture: I have short hair, it’s enough for me (even a little too much), but for those with long hair, it’s better to double all the ingredients.
So: mix the yolk of one egg with one teaspoon of honey, add one teaspoon of olive oil, I add another 1 tsp. burdock oil (bought in Auchan, costs about 30 rubles) and 1 tsp. vitamin A in oil (bought at the pharmacy, costs 70 rubles). In general, I get 1 teaspoon of three types of oil. I heat this oil mixture a little in the microwave and add it to the mixture of yolk and honey. I stir it very thoroughly. Then I add 1 tsp. “Dimexide” and mix thoroughly again. Then I apply everything to my hair, put on a hat and a special cap to keep my hair warm. I keep it for one hour.
The girl who told me about dimexide warned me that her nail polish was damaged and her scalp felt burning. But I suspect that she adds more dimexide than I do. Nothing like that happened to me.
Dimexide really “works”! After a month of masks, my hair became much healthier, voluminous, and stopped falling out completely. I hope it helps you too!
We had to get acquainted with such a drug as Dimexide at the children's hospital, where we ended up after we had a sore throat (at 1 year old).
When the temperature from the sore throat subsided, in just half an hour the lymph node in the neck swelled to such a size that it was scary to look at... The pediatrician gave a referral for hospitalization. In the emergency department, my daughter was examined by a dental surgeon and literally drove me into hysterics, saying that surgery would most likely be required, but we needed to keep an eye on her.
From the very first day they began to inject strong antibiotics, which even brought tears to the eyes of children of 14-15 years old from pain, and twice a day they made compresses of dimexide with furatsilin water, and also smeared them with Heparin ointment.
A compress is allowed if the child’s body temperature is not higher than 37.5 degrees, because the compress has a warming effect and if there is a slight fever, it will certainly creep up, and this, as the doctor explained, threatens to fester in the inflamed lymph node. In case of suppuration, surgery is guaranteed. Therefore, I monitored the temperature very carefully.
For compass, dimexide is diluted with furatsilin or ordinary boiled water at room temperature in a ratio of 1:3 (1 part dimexide to 3 parts water). Gauze is soaked in many layers with the solution and fixed in the required place for two hours (my daughter was fixed with an elastic bandage). Then the compress is simply removed. Before the compress, ointment was applied to the baby's skin on the inflamed area, but it is applied only if there is no open wound. The freshly prepared solution has a strong chemical odor, which subsequently dissipates.
To our joy, after a few days of procedures, the lymph node began to soften and deflate. But nevertheless, in order to make sure that no pus had accumulated inside, the doctors took a puncture from the lymph node. No pus was found.
Treatment in the hospital lasted 10 days. During this time, the lymph node noticeably shrank, became much softer, but did not deflate completely.
At home, we should have continued making compresses until the lymph nodes returned to normal (it took us another week).
This is what the concentrate for preparing a solution for external use Dimexide looks like:
In a dark glass bottle, the liquid is clear, colorless, and has a pungent chemical odor. It should be poured out carefully. When Dimexide is added to furatsilin water, the solution heats up.
Store at normal room temperature, protected from light.
Dimexide is an anti-inflammatory drug and has a fairly wide spectrum of action.
In 1866, Russian scientist Alexander Zaitsev isolated an unusual and strange chemical compound (dimethyl sulfoxide). This substance had a crystalline structure, was odorless, non-toxic, and tasted like garlic. At that time, Zaitsev could not even imagine that his discovery would cause so much medical controversy in the future and that thousands of studies would be conducted, during which miraculous healings would occur in a huge number of patients.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DIM) is an organic sulfur compound that was initially used only as an industrial solvent until its medicinal properties were discovered in 1963 by a research group led by Stanley Jacob, MD.
Dimexide is a by-product of kraft pulp that converts wood into wood pulp, which consists almost entirely of cellulose fibers. The process involves treating wood chips with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. This breaks the chemical bonds that connect lignin (from the Latin word lignum, meaning wood) and cellulose.
The dimexide molecule is 10-sided, with a central sulfur atom. Dimexide contains two methyl groups - an oxygen atom and an unbonded pair of electrons.
Dimexide is a rich source of organic sulfur. It is an intermediate product of the global Sulfur Cycle that distributes bioavailable sulfur to all animals and plants. When salt-rich ocean water evaporates, it is oxidized into dimexide. It then dissolves in atmospheric moisture, is captured by clouds and falls to the ground as rain or snow. This mineral, a non-metallic sulfur compound, occurs widely in nature and is found in all cells of the body. Sulfur is vital for numerous chemical reactions associated with the detoxification of drugs and other harmful toxins. Sulfur compounds have potential for clinical use in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases such as depression, fibromyalgia, arthritis, interstitial cystitis, sports injuries, congestive heart palsy, diabetes, cancer and AIDS. Dimexide has about 40 pharmacological properties that may be useful in the prevention and treatment of many diseases.
Garlic is a powerful healing agent mainly due to the sulfur it contains. Dimexide is effective for the same reason. In fact, this colorless, oily-looking liquid has a garlicky odor due to its sulfur content.
The body uses sulfur to constantly create new healthy cells and replace old ones. Without it, the body will produce weak and dysfunctional cells. Sulfur is also needed to maintain the permeability of cell membranes. For detoxification, it is important to ensure that nutrients enter the cell and toxins and waste products leave it.
Sulfur is essential in the formation and maintenance of connective tissue, fighting inflammation, and maintaining a strong immune system.
Nowadays, sulfur deficiency is common due to the fact that sulfur is lost after food is processed. Sulfur deficiency leads to: slow wound healing, scar tissue, brittle nails and hair, digestive problems, inflammation, lung dysfunction, immune dysfunction, arthritis, acne, depression, memory loss.
According to the medical and pharmaceutical literature, dimexide has perhaps the widest range of therapeutic actions ever demonstrated by a single chemical substance.
Dimexide is useful for a wide variety of diseases and performs various functions. Dimexide has the following properties: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antiviral, antifungal, vasodilator, fights free radicals, stimulates various types of immunity, diuretic. In addition, dimexide is able to transport various drugs through cell membranes, fights blood clots, acts as a tranquilizer (sedative) when rubbed into the skin, stimulates wound healing, creates interferon (proteins secreted by the body's cells in response to a virus invasion), increases efficiency antifungal and antibacterial agents (if mixed with them), inhibits the release of cholinesterase (enzyme), smoothes collagen (the protein substance of connective tissues) due to its unusual cross-linking effect and has many other benefits.
Dimexide is a solvent with an uncanny ability to penetrate the skin. Dr. Jacob explains that dimexide is the “alter ego” (translated from Latin as “another self”) of water. Its molecular bond with water is 1.3 times stronger than the molecular bond of water with water. As a result, it displaces water as it moves through cell membranes, and transports with it substances that normally cannot penetrate the cell on their own. Dimexide hydrates cells, causing changes in the fluid structure of cellular water. Some believe that its main therapeutic principle of action lies in its ability to modify and repair damaged cells by hydrating them, changing their water structure and increasing cellular permeability - this allows the cells to more effectively nourish themselves and get rid of waste.
In his book Dimexide: Nature's Healer, Dr. Morton Walker states that people now have a new breakthrough in the fight against pain: Dimexide. Some researchers believe that dimexide "could become the aspirin of the 21st century." Despite the fact that all the mechanisms of the substance are not yet fully known, it is believed that its action is that it blocks the C fibers of the peripheral nerves, which receive pain signals.
The production of free radicals is a major factor in the process of any disease. Dimexide is one of the most powerful free radical fighters known today, and perhaps the most powerful. Some molecules in our body produce an unequal number of electrons and this instability causes them to destroy other cells. Dimexide attaches to these molecules and then they are excreted from the body with dimexide. Dimexide replaces water in cells and thus treats diseased cells by destroying free radicals inside it. Thanks to these properties, dimexide is useful in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, arthritis, and atherosclerosis.
Dimexide easily penetrates the skin, the blood-brain barrier (a semi-permeable barrier between the blood and nervous tissue that prevents large or polar molecules, as well as blood cells, including the immune system, from entering the brain) and other tissues and enters the bloodstream.
Dimexide applied to one area often results in decreased pain or various improvements in other areas due to its overall action.
Due to its ability to penetrate, dimexide can carry healing properties deep through the tissues of the body, where it has a beneficial effect on diseases such as: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, back pain, bursitis, burns, cuts and scrapes, fractures, gouty arthritis, herpes, musculoskeletal injuries, tendinitis, sprains and strains, back injuries, neck and spine injuries, and many other diseases. Another unusual property of dimexide, which greatly distinguishes it from other substances and drugs, is that it has a cumulative effect and does not require large doses.
Dimexide acts as a transporter for other substances or drugs, and it can also enhance their effects. In fact, certain drugs diluted with dimexide, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics and insulin, can be used in lower doses than usual without reducing their therapeutic effectiveness and in addition their unwanted side effects are greatly reduced. Drugs are also able to pass through the blood-brain barrier (a semi-permeable barrier between the blood and nerve tissue that prevents large or polar molecules, as well as blood cells, including the immune system, from entering the brain), which is usually impenetrable.
When exogenous forms of endogenous steroids (including Testosterone and Hydrocortisone form of Cortisone) are diluted in dimexide before use, their surface bioavailability is increased by 300%.
Dimexide strengthens the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells and macrophages, which destroy foreign substances and pathogens in the body. Dimexide activates macrophages, which makes them especially deadly against harmful microorganisms and cancer cells.
Dimextide reduces allergic reactions by opening cell membranes and allowing special antigens, substances that stimulate the production of antibodies in the body, to attach to more cell receptors. This process creates immunity to infectious diseases and the growth of malignant tumors.
Dimexide has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Dimexide also increases the permeability of cell membranes, allowing toxins to be flushed out of the cell.
Dimexide has been shown to have cholinesterase (enzyme) properties, in other words, it prevents the breakdown of enzymes into acetylcholine, increasing the level and duration of action of this important neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine is responsible for learning and memory and is also calming and relaxing. Acetylcholine is also a major factor in regulating the immune system and acts as a major inhibitor of inflammation in the body.
Dimexide has radioprotective properties against the lethal and mutagenic effects of X-rays on cells.
Radiation produces free radicals (“inflammatory molecules”) that damage the cells that make up tissues such as organs, glands, muscles and bones. In addition to cells aging faster, they also become distorted or mutated, causing leukemia, anemia, birth defects and other diseases.
Sulfur has a long history of use as an antidote against acute injury from radioactive materials. Dimexide is a classic sulfur compound. A Japanese study showed that even small concentrations of dimexide have radioprotective effects. They help repair DNA double-strand breaks, and thus provide protection against radiation damage at all cellular levels of the body.
Dimexide also has frost-protective properties. This means that it is able to protect against damage caused by frost.
Before dimexide, there was no way to preserve organs without forming ice crystals that killed the tissue.
In 1961, Dr. Jacob first became acquainted with the antifreeze properties of dimexide. Preserving organs for transplantation is still one of the many uses of dimexide. 100% dimexide will freeze at temperatures around 19°C, while a 50% solution of dimexide and water will not freeze at temperatures far below the freezing point of ordinary water.
Dimexide (injected intravenously) helps eliminate amyloid proteins (Amyloidosis), which are the cause of Alzheimer's disease.
Dimexide may help detoxify from heavy metals. Heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, nickel) are very difficult to remove from the body and they cause many diseases.
Sulfur is a mineral and the main ingredient of certain amino acids that binds to heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, nickel) and removes them through urine, bowel movements and sweat.
When 60-90% dimexide is applied to the palm, the skin may remain wrinkled for several days.
The garlic-like body odor and taste in the mouth is due to a specific metabolite (metabolic intermediate) of dimexide: dimethyl sulfide, a component of natural onion and garlic flavor. It can last from one to two days, and in a small percentage of people, especially men, the odor can be very strong. Drinking enough water will help dispel the odor.
Other side effects of dimexide - such as stomach upset, headaches, nausea and sedation - are related to detoxification reactions.
When dimexide is diluted with water, heat is generated. The bottle will be warm. This is a temporary, safe reaction.
Buy dimexide for medical purposes only from reliable suppliers.
A pure solution of dimexide will become solid (like ice) in the refrigerator within 2 hours. If you turn a frozen bottle over and small streams of water flow through the ice, then you most likely have veterinary grade dimexide. This is 90% concentration. 10 percent is distilled water.
Many commercial-grade dimexide solutions contain a certain percentage of acid or acetone impurities. Although this solvent is sometimes used for pharmaceutical purposes, there is a great risk in doing so. Acetone can cause serious medical consequences. Long-term exposure to acetone can cause liver damage and death. Beware of this problem when you buy unreliable dimexide.
Also remember that dimexide increases the effects of medications such as blood thinners, steroids, heart medications, sedatives, etc.
Dimexide is one of the safest products ever used in medicine. Although it has been used by millions of people in the United States and other countries around the world, there have been no documented cases of death or serious injury from the use of dimexide.
Now compare. The number of drug-related deaths in the United States is estimated at more than 200,000 per year, making drugs the third of the four leading causes of death. Even the common painkillers that are called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (such as Advil, Mortin, Aleve and aspirin) account for about 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations in the US annually. Taking this into account, it can be argued that dimexide is one of the safest substances in the world today.
The classic toxicity test, the LD-50 test, measures the lethal dose at which half of a group of test animals will die. This test for aspirin and dimexide shows that aspirin is seven times more toxic than dimexide.
First of all, these are the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) and large pharmaceutical companies.
Dimexide is sold in health food stores, online and in most of the world. It has been used by millions for the health benefits it provides, but in the US, dimexide is approved by the FDA only as a preservative for stem cells, bone marrow cells and organs for transplantation, and for interstitial cystitis, a painful inflammatory bladder disease that is very difficult to treat with other therapies. .
The fact that dimexide is not approved for other medical conditions is partly due to the fact that double-blind tests cannot be performed. Blind tests, as the name suggests, require that the study be conducted without knowing which patient is taking the placebo and which the drug. In the case of dimexide, blind tests cannot be carried out due to the specific taste and smell similar to garlic (regardless of the method of application).
If you search for information about dimexide in the US National Library of Medicine (pubmed.gov) you will find about 30,000 indexed results, making dimexide one of the most studied compounds of our time. However, we are led to believe that dimexide cannot meet the necessary requirements to be approved for other medical conditions, despite its effectiveness and undeniable low toxicity.
You see, dimexide is a common chemical that is very cheap to produce. No drug company can obtain an exclusive patent since it is also a natural compound, therefore these companies will not be able to make significant financial profits. The president of a major pharmaceutical company said: “We don’t care that dimexide is the main drug of our century and we all know it, it’s just not worth anything to us” (CBS TV show 60 Minutes with Mike Walesa, The Dimexide Mystery). If dimexide were approved by the FDA, it could compete with pharmaceutical companies. The director of the FDA's Bureau of Drugs, Richard Crout, MD, said: “DMexide is low toxic and is a safe compound (...) I think this is an existential issue for pharmaceutical companies. They won't invest in anything until they see that there will be significant financial gain." (CBS TV show 60 Minutes with Mike Walesa, The Dimexide Mystery).
Despite restrictions on the use of dimexide, thousands of Americans buy it on the black market every year, its popularity due not to advertising, but due to recommendations from other people who have benefited from dimexide. When you have something that cures all types of illnesses, including some incurable and life-threatening ones, people naturally recommend it to friends and family.
Dimexide is usually applied to the skin in the form of a liquid, gel or cream. It can be taken by mouth or through an intravenous injection (in many cases, along with other medications). It is also prescribed subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, intrathecally, through inhalation, to mucous membranes and into the bladder. Dimexide can also be instilled into the eyes. Concentrations and doses vary widely.
People with white skin, blond or red hair and blue eyes are more sensitive to dimexide. For these, surface, oral or intravenous concentrations should be 50 percent or less, especially around the face and neck.
Dimexide applied to the skin is completely absorbed after 4-8 hours. Dimexide taken orally reaches peak blood levels after 4 hours. In general, absorption through the skin is slightly less than through the digestive tract.
Dimexide cannot quickly penetrate nails, hair or tooth enamel.
The liquid form of dimexide is the most effective form of applying dimexide.
It is advisable to begin superficial treatment with dimexide with low concentrations until the skin gets used to it over time.
For any superficial use of dimexide, the skin must be clean, dry and undamaged. The face and neck are more sensitive to dimxide and therefore concentrations higher than 50% should not be used. In areas where circulation is reduced, surface concentrations of dimexide should be below 70%. If 60%-90% dimexide is applied to the skin, warmth, redness, and tingling may occur. This usually goes away within a couple of hours. To prevent this effect, you can use natural aloe vera, gel or cream. In general, after superficial treatment with dimexide, it is recommended to apply aloe vera cream to the area, regardless of whether there is irritation on the skin or not.
The usual dose of dimexide for oral administration is 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) per day.
Dimexide is usually mixed with tomato or grape juice to mask its unpleasant taste.
It is advisable to first start with half a teaspoon of dimexide and gradually increase (if any possible detoxification reactions are tolerated normally).
Up to 20 cc of dimexide at 25% concentration (dimexide must be diluted with sterile water) is prescribed via intravenous injection by a specially trained doctor for the treatment of more serious degenerative diseases.
Intravenous injection is done by slowly pushing the entire volume into the bloodstream at one time.
A slow intravenous drip is administered over 2-3 hour periods. 50-100 cc of dimexide added to 500 cc of glucose or saline solution is instilled into the patient’s arm vein. This method should only be performed by a qualified doctor.
Dimexide is very effective in treating the following diseases:
Amyloidosis, Alzheimer's and Dementia, Arthritis, Sports Injuries, Brain Damage, Burns, Cancer, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Liver Cirrhosis, Diabetes, Digestive Problems, Ear and Hearing Problems, Medical Emergency, Eye Problems, Fibromyalgia, Fungal infections, Hair and scalp problems, Headaches, Infections, Inflammation, Interstitial cystitis, Cutaneous tuberculosis (lupus), Mental illness, Mental retardation, Multiple sclerosis, Pain, Respiratory problems
Scleroderma, Shingles and Herpes, Spinal Cord Injuries, Skin Problems, Stroke, Teeth and Gum Diseases and many others.
One of the most striking areas of application of dimexide is the treatment of brain and spinal cord injuries. If dimexide is administered intravenously within 90 minutes of injury, the substance can produce near-miraculous results, including preventing paralysis. The sooner dimexide is used, the more tangible results the patient will have. Dramatic results appear even when using dimexide several hours after the initial injury. The following factors are responsible for this effect: dimexide relieves inflammation, fights free radicals, and also reduces cellular oxygen requirements.
When the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) are injured, the nerves and tissue in that area become compressed, causing swelling. While swelling occurs in the skull in a head injury and in the spinal column in a spinal cord injury, blood vessels are compressed and blood and oxygen are cut off from the damaged areas, causing cell and tissue damage or death. With timely administration of dimexide intravenously, swelling is prevented and blood flow to the site of injury is increased.
When a head injury occurs, water and blood accumulate in the skull, causing a buildup of pressure that eventually compresses the vital centers of the brain, resulting in permanent injury or death. Immediate treatment with dimexide significantly reduces intracranial pressure, helping the victim avoid long-term injury and possibly death. Dimexide binds to excess water and blood, takes it into the surrounding blood vessels and removes it from the brain. In fact, it dries out the brain of potentially harmful water and blood.
Accompanying brain and spinal cord injury is the production of free radicals, which increase the damage by killing surrounding cells. Dimexide is such a powerful antioxidant that it stops the oncoming wave of free radicals, and thus protects neural tissue. Although it is not known why, dimexide reduces the oxygen requirements of cells necessary for their healthy functioning. This is extremely important in cases of brain and spinal cord injuries, where lack of oxygen is a major factor in cell damage and death.
In one study, 24 mongrels had blood flow to the midline section of the spinal cord blocked for 30 minutes. 12 animals in the control group received a saline injection, while the experimental group of 12 animals received a dimexide injection. 11 out of 12 animals receiving saline solution experienced complete paralysis of the lower limbs. In 11 out of 12 animals who received dimexide, there was a complete recovery and they could walk and run normally. The twelfth animal in the dimexide group had only mild weakness. Microscopic examination of the tissues of both groups revealed that ischemic (lack of oxygen) changes and cellular damage were suffered only by animals from the control group.
The use of dimexide in humans has had equally impressive results. In one patient with paralyzed limbs who had no sensation or muscle activity below the neck, immediate administration of dimexide allowed him to move his fingers within two hours, and ultimately restored all function.
Dr. Jacob reported two cases at his Oregon Medical School in which dimexide was used within one hour of central nervous system injuries. These injuries could lead to complete paralysis of the arms and legs. In both cases, the patients left the hospital on their own after their full recovery. Dr. Jacob reported three other cases in which dimexide was given five, six, and nine hours after injury to the central nervous system, and where the probability of complete paralysis was about 100 percent. Although the 90-minute window of opportunity was significantly narrowed, two out of three patients were able to walk after receiving the IV.
When intravenous administration is not possible, rubbing a few tablespoons of 70% DM/30% water onto almost any area of the skin (except the site of injury) should help prevent tissue swelling and injury to the central nervous system including brain damage.
In the 1960s, human studies of dimexide were temporarily stopped after changes in the lenses of the eyes appeared in certain animals treated with dimexide. Research was gradually resumed after it was found that such changes did not occur in people's eyes. Daniel Haley reports in his book The Politics of Treatment: “Tests on rabbits, dogs and pigs (but not humans) showed some problems. When taken daily for six months at a dose of dimexide that is approximately ten times the maximum human dose, small changes occurred in the lenses of the animals' eyes. This caused the animals to become slightly myopic. The changes in the lenses were not sufficient to make it difficult for the dogs to run - they did not crash into obstacles - and in some cases, the changes disappeared immediately after the massive doses were stopped. In no tests at that time or since then has dimexide ever caused cataracts, either in animals or in humans.
In reality, dimexide is very effective in treating macular degeneration and retinal diseases. Its effectiveness was first discovered when patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a disease of the retina, took dimexide to treat certain musculoskeletal disorders. They felt their vision improved and some had amazing results.
When several patients treated with dimexide for muscle problems told Dr. Jacob that their vision had improved, he referred them to Dr. Robert O. Hill, an ophthalmologist at the University of Oregon School of Medicine. Confirming the beneficial changes, Dr. Hill began his own experiments with dimexide. His research showed that 50% dimexide drops were effective for rhitinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration (he presented a report on this to a symposium of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1971).
One drop of 25% dimexide (diluted in sterile physiological saline solution) once or twice daily is useful for eye problems including cataracts or glaucoma.
Most people with arthritis who visit hot springs resorts report positive results. The water in these hot springs usually contains large amounts of natural sulfur. While hot water can be beneficial, the most important health benefit of these hot springs likely lies in the presence of sulfur in the water.
Doctors treating arthritis with dimexide and their patients agree that dimexide is the best treatment for arthritis, regardless of whether it is osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. This treatment may include dimexide alone or dimexide in combination with other products. Also, dimexide can be applied: superficially to the affected areas, through injection or taken by mouth.
When applied superficially, dimexide dramatically reduces pain and increases mobility, and also reduces inflammation. Positive reactions can be observed within 5-20 minutes and they usually last 4-6 hours.
June Jones, a former football team executive, had bursitis calcification in his right shoulder. He received an injection of dimexide in the shoulder. After using dimexide for 30 days, the calcification completely disappeared.
Amyloidosis is a disease characterized by abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins in various tissues of the body. Proteins become amyloid if, when deformed in their secondary structure, they take on an assembled insoluble form similar to a beta-pleated sheet.
The two most common symptoms associated with localized amyloidosis are type 2 diabetes, where amyloid proteins accumulate in the pancreas, and Alzheimer's disease, where amyloid proteins accumulate in the brain.
In one Israeli study, amyloidosis was induced in experimental mice. The mice were studied for the next 60 days, then killed and autopsied. Almost immediately after starting to treat the mice with dimexide, broken amyloid fibers were found in their urine. And after their autopsy, it was revealed that their livers were completely cleared of amyloid deposits. The livers of mice that were not treated with DM were clogged with amyloid. This study showed that dimexide dissolves amyloid proteins.
One of the most important uses of dimexide is in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Dimexide has demonstrated the dissolution of amyloid proteins in brain lesions in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
The most significant improvement is observed in patients at an early stage of the disease. If the disease is allowed to develop to a certain point, then it will be impossible to reverse the process.
Dimexide has several properties that make it valuable in treating any problem related to the brain. One very important property of dimexide is its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (between the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid).
If taken immediately after a stroke, dimexide can dissolve the blood clot that caused the stroke, restoring circulation and preventing paralysis. Once dimexide enters the body either through the skin, intravenous injection or through the mouth, it penetrates the body and crosses the brain barrier, so that even if taken orally it can improve circulation. Ideally, an intravenous injection should be given.
Although 40% dimexide prolongs bleeding time, it is still recommended for the treatment of embolic or hemorrhagic stroke. A hemorrhagic (relating to bleeding) stroke is the rupture of a weakened blood vessel in the brain. An embolic stroke is a blockage of a blood vessel by a thrombus. Dimexide is an excellent remedy for the treatment of brain damage resulting, for example, from a bullet wound. The key to success in this case is to use dimexide as soon as possible after a blow or injury. The healing properties of dimexide bring tissues back to normal.
One man, who suffered a stroke at 7:30 a.m., refused to go to the hospital until his wife spoke to Dr. Stanley Jacob. I was able to talk to the doctor only at 18:30. Starting at 7:00 pm (the day of the stroke), the woman gave her husband one ounce of 50% DM in small orange juice every 15 minutes for two hours and then every half hour for two hours. The next day, her husband felt better and soon recovered. Such a substance that can stop a stroke should be in every home medicine cabinet.
Dimexide is useful in the treatment of mental retardation and Down syndrome. It can carry drugs into the brain through the blood-brain barrier, which is usually a major problem in brain treatment.
Children with brain damage are given dimexide 50% concentration by mouth. This is especially useful for underdeveloped children, who are given half a gram for every kilogram of weight by mouth. A cholinesterase (enzyme) inhibitor, a medication that can stimulate the central nervous system, is definitely worth trying to help a brain-damaged child recover.
Dimexide is very effective in the treatment of mental retardation. In some cases, only dimexide is used, and in some cases, dimexide is used in combination with amino acids, vitamins or other products. Dimexide is also used in various ways, which include: oral administration, when the patient drinks dimexide diluted in water, juice or milk, intramuscular injections or superficial application.
Dimexide is useful in the treatment of patients with the following diagnoses:
(1) overexcited states (acute schizophrenic reactions, manic phase of manic-depressive psychosis);
(2) some symptoms of chronic psychosis (autism, stereotyping, negativism, abnormal behavior or delusions);
(3) serious neuroses (anxiety reactions, obsession)
Of particular note is the extraordinary report provided by Dr. Eduardo Ramirez and Dr. Segisfredo Luza of the Ayetano Heredia University in Lima, Peru. After extensive testing in animals and then in normal humans, Dr. Ramirez reported: "Intramuscular injection of 50% - 80% dimexide was administered to patients with acute or chronic schizophrenia" and that "of the 14 acute cases, each was discharged from the hospital within 45 days after the beginning of treatment with dimexide... 4 of 11 chronic cases, one of which was sick for 14 years, were discharged over time, and the other 7 had very strong improvements... There was a sharp decrease in agitation... Decrease in feelings of persecution..., decrease in obsessions, return of vigilance, calmness instead of worry and anxiety"
Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which the myelin sheaths around axons in the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to demyelination (destruction of the myelin layer of nerve fibers) and scarring. The disease reduces the ability of nerve cells to communicate with each other.
After treatment with dimexide, patients experience remyelination (growth of myelin sheaths), decreased swelling and improved communication between nerve cells
Dimexide is very effective for vascular headaches and muscle tension, which so often accompanies headaches. Dimexide can be used both on hair areas and on areas near the eyes. A 90% solution is more effective.
Dimexide has several properties that may make it one of the most important products in the treatment of cancer. It is a powerful free radical fighter and detoxifying agent. It can penetrate body tissues and individual cells, transporting other drugs with it. Dimexide is anti-cancer on its own and becomes even more powerful when combined with other anti-cancer drugs.
Any of these important properties of dimexide may be effective in treating cancer. When all of these properties are combined in one product, we have one of the most powerful anti-cancer agents known today.
Treatment with dimexide in combination with Laetrile (Vitamin B-17 or amygdalin) also gives excellent results.
Dimexide in combination with antibiotics will remove bacterial resistance to these antibiotics. In order for dimexide to be clinically useful in this case, perhaps an 80-90 percent solution of dimexide will be required. Dimexide has been used with excellent results to transport antibiotics to hard-to-reach places in the body, such as the bone marrow and brain.
Dimexide can dissolve the protein shell of viruses, leaving their viral core unprotected with its nucleic acid exposed to the immune system. Applied superficially, it relieves damage caused by shingles.
Placed in the nostrils or superficially on the face, dimexide can open blocked sinuses within minutes. Dimexide has also been successfully used in patients with polyps.
Dimexide can cure gum disease, tooth decay and pain if applied to problem areas.
“In the evening, I pour about two teaspoons of dimexide into a glass, add 20 mg of doxycycline, 2 tablespoons of distilled water and then rinse my mouth with it for about 2-3 minutes and then swallow everything. I believe it's about a 50% solution and it really works. The inflamed area of my jaw completely calmed down in 2-3 days” - Laura, Toulouse, France.
Dimexide stops the spread of fungus. It has been shown to be effective in combination with the antibiotic griseofulvin in the treatment of ringworm, and especially fungal nails. Dimexide can also be mixed with other antifungal agents such as iodine. The solution should be 90 percent concentration. Dimexide transports various fungocytes deep into the skin affected by the fungus.
At lower concentrations of 30 to 40 percent, dimexide inhibits the growth of some bacteria. Dimexide at a concentration of 12.5-25 percent completely inhibits the growth of highly pleomorphic bacteria. Dimexide also makes antibiotic-resistant bacteria vulnerable again.
It is assumed that dimexide dissolves the protein shell of viruses and leaves their nucleic acid core unprotected by the immune system.
Dimexide is effective in the treatment of viral infections, including the herpes virus. Good results were obtained both simply from dimexide and from a combination of dimexide and various anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.
Some doctors, especially those who specialize in natural treatments, have used dimexide and lysine to treat herpes and shingles. From a scientific point of view, it has been proven that lysine slows down the development of the herpes virus and prevents the reproduction of viruses. Usually, along with oral administration and superficial application of dimexide, up to 3000 mg of lysine is also taken orally.
Dimexide 50-80% concentration applied two or three times a day will smooth out raised scars in a few months. It has a significant effect on superficial burns and if applied quickly to the injury, can remove any bruising.
“I applied dimexide to my face for two weeks... and cured an attack of acne, but what surprised me most was that my hyperpigmentation (cutaneous melanosis (excess black pigment in the skin) also decreased very much. This is simply amazing!" – HG, USA
“I applied a 50% dimexide solution to the inflamed lymph node. Then repeat again in the evening. It is amazing! There was a significant reduction in the size of the knot in just two applications! This node has been swollen for 20 years. – Melissa Madlock, Coldwater, Michigan, USA
Skin lotions containing dimexide have shown to be effective in treating burns. Severe burns covering large areas of the body can not only be very painful, but also fatal. In addition to tissue damage, the burn area may become infected.
A lotion of 50% dimexide and 50% aloe vera is very effective. Applying this lotion prevents the formation of blisters and scars.
Superficial application of dimexide can give a white color to telangiectasia (local excessive dilation of small vessels on the surface of the skin). Dimexide may also reduce inflammation and the size of varicose veins in the legs.
Dimexide has been used in the treatment of a large number of patients with various genitourinary disorders, including: fibroplastic induration of the penis, Peyronie's disease, interstitial cystitis, acute epididymitis, inflammation of the epididymis. Some experienced significant improvement in symptoms.
For a person with carpal tunnel syndrome, dimexide can be very useful. Firstly, dimexide is an anti-inflammatory drug without any of the harmful side effects that are usually found in traditional anti-inflammatory drugs. This is very important because inflammation in the wrist can cause compression of the median nerve. Dimexide may also help improve circulation and reduce pain.
Dimexide has shown excellent results in the treatment of liver cirrhosis. Patients were given one teaspoon of dimexide in one ounce of aloe vera juice twice daily for six months.
Patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes reported good treatment results when using dimexide. This does not mean that the patient can stop using insulin. However, some patients have been able to reduce their insulin use with daily use of dimexide. No patient should stop using their insulin without their doctor's approval.
Dimexide has certain properties that make it a very valuable agent in the treatment of victims of serious accidents or sudden serious illnesses such as heart attacks. Dimexide reduces swelling, is anti-inflammatory, increases oxygen supply, fights free radicals and helps protect cells from mechanical damage.
Fibromalgia is a relatively common rheumatic disease that mainly affects women. The likelihood increases with age and is most common in women over 50. Unlike arthritis, fibromyalgia affects the muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Good results in the treatment of fibromyalgia are achieved after using dimexide.
Inflammation is the body's complex response to injury or tissue destruction. In its acute form, it can be characterized by the classic signs: pain, swelling, heat, redness and loss of function. Dimexide works as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. It can minimize all symptoms of inflammation. Patients' tumors shrank and localized heat cooled to normal. Patients also often noticed an immediate reduction in pain.
Dimexide was originally approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1978 for the treatment of interstitial cystitis. The patient usually drinks one teaspoon of dimexide in cranberry juice once or twice a day. Patients often report almost immediate improvements.
Dimexide, in combination with other products such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, has proven effective in treating most respiratory problems.
Dimexide is effective in treating asthma without the side effects of cortisone and bronchodilators. Treatment is carried out in a very simple way, such as superficial application of dimexide or dimexide in combination with various drugs and herbs.
Dimexide mixed with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents gives excellent results in the treatment of ulcers caused by various causes, such as diabetes, infected wounds and burns.
Cutaneous tuberculosis is an inflammatory disease with a wide variety of symptoms that can vary from patient to patient. Dimexide has been proven to be a very important product in the treatment of lupus. It does not completely cure lupus, but it reduces symptoms so much that the patient can live with the disease.
Scleroderma is a disease of unknown cause that hardens the body's tissues and can attack various internal organs. For this disease, dimexide is the only effective treatment.
Dimexide may be effective in treating painful calluses, calluses, hard skin, ingrown toenails, bunions on the outside of the big toe, hammertoes, heel spurs, and gout in the big toes.
Dimexide is used to stimulate hair growth. Typically, patients with recent hair loss have the best results. When hair growth occurs, the areas that lost hair last will be the first to grow hair. Why does dimexide stimulate hair growth? The main reason is that dimexide is an excellent vasodilator. It dilates the small capillaries in the scalp. After this, blood delivery to the hair roots increases. Essential nutrients are delivered to the hair follicles, allowing hair growth to begin again.
