More Miracle Drugs: DMSO and Methylene Blue
A summary of miracle drugs
When aspirin came out, it was marketed as a miracle drug. Of course, it’s not, but are there any miracle drugs at all?
There is an old joke about the sucker cop and the little boy that can often apply to those who invest in miracle drugs:
This little boy is standing at the corner, apparently selling something. The cop goes over to him and asks him,
“What are you selling?”
“Cherry seeds.”
“What are they good for?”
“The make people smarter!”
“How much are they?”
“Two for ten.”
“Give me one.”
The cop walks away and returns after a few minutes,
“Little boy, you have cheated me! For five dollars I could have gotten a full pound of cherries.”
“See, Sir, Officer, you are already smarter!”
It’s been a while since I expressed my doubts about miracle cures, starting with the myth of healing:
Is Healing a Myth Altogether?
In this article, I cannot even hope for exhausting the topic, but it is so important that I cannot ignore it. In fact, I was up between two and four at night, trying to complete it in my mind. (I’m sure, Substack will be full of similar stuff anytime starting from tomorrow and spread out for the next three to six months, which is good, because this IS i…

Calling attention to bottom-feeders:
Preposterous claims have been made about ivermectin to cure “cancer”:
"Can Cancer Really Be Cured with Ivermectin and Other Safe, Old Treatments?"
Of course, Santa exists, but this DOCTOR doesn’t know that!
Whereas ivermectin was only a bait-and-switch operation:
Ivermectin As a Bait-and-Switch Operation
And they receive confirmation from their peers, so they must be right! There is nothing like the warmth of the pigsty!
Especially in the last few years, when fake “alt” sites kept cropping up, the deployment of bait-and-switch has far exceeded the realm of Madicine:
Bait and Switch for the Masses
Many readers noted that Substack is becoming less and less readable, because agents, bots, and marketers have been taking over the space that used to be occupied by authentic elements. What is happening and what can you do about it?
The latest miracle cures are DMSO and methylene blue
DMSO is particularly interesting, because MWD has been rabidly recommending it for months, which at least for me, raises a red flag. It’s been clear, at least for me, for quite a while, that the source publishes limited hangouts and red herrings, spiced up with decompartmentalized details1 and conclusions. Its very existence was founded on bait-and-switch with its first article on smallpox that happened to be excellent. Currently, MWD is promoting the substance as a “forgotten” cure for cancer. If that’s not a click-bait, nothing is.
MWD claims that
As such, I recently published an article on DMSO’s remarkable properties for treating cancer and cited hundreds of studies showing that:
•DMSO causes a wide range of cancer cells to transform back into normal cells.
•DMSO slows the growth of many cancers.
•DMSO allows the immune system to target and eliminate cancers it previously was unable to remove.
•DMSO treats many challenging complications of cancer such as cancer pain and amyloidosis from multiple myeloma.
•DMSO protects tissue from radiation and chemotherapy injuries.
•DMSO makes many cancer therapies (e.g., radiation or chemotherapy) more potent, thereby ensuring both a higher treatment success rate and far less complications (as less toxic doses are being used).
As you must well know that “hundreds of studies” are not done out of charity, your suspicion can arise immediately, and you might also wonder if DMSO can even file Chapter 7 bankruptcy for you, if needed2.
The MSDS (toxicity) report
on Fisher Scientific on DMSO reveals that the substance has not been tested for safety, which might sound better than “vitamins” and supplements, but it can also mean that it is a dark horse on the chessboard that has been waiting in the shade until now, when it’s being placed into action:
Dimethyl sulfoxide Revision Date 13-Oct-2023
In case of fire: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam for extinction
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool
Disposal: Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant
Hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC): None identified
Other hazards: DMSO readily penetrates skin and may carry other dissolved chemicals into the body.
While risks are not spelled out, “First Aid measures” clarify that something fishy is going on:
First-aid measures
General Advice: If symptoms persist, call a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects: Difficulty in breathing. Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically
All this doesn’t exactly sound like consuming cotton candy. “Treat symptomatically” raises another red flag.
I warned about such “cures” before, because some of them may even be in the depopulation plans:
What Do the Fake Cures Accomplish?
It’s happening. Well, by disliking flowers, Deltas may have something smart in them: https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/bring-me-flowers-while-i-am-still
DMSO is “normally” used for treating cystitis. The history of DMSO on Healthline states,
The story of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an unusual one. This by-product of the paper making process was discovered in Germany in the late 19th century. It’s a colorless liquid that gained notoriety for its ability to penetrate the skin and other biological membranes.
Scientists discovered that they could use DMSO as a transportation device to pass small molecules through skin in the 1960s. Since then, scientists have researched the potential benefits and risks of using DMSO to treat a variety of conditions. This research is ongoing.
As this liquid is taken by mouth, its membrane-crossing quality might come in handy for delivering stuff into the body that would otherwise stay in the digestive system until it’s discarded. And don’t tell me those secret labs have been idle in the last several decades, so the “research” is certainly “ongoing,” unless it has already been concluded, which might be the case, considering the substance is now receiving such publicity.
Methylene blue looks a bit less ambiguous on Fisher Scientific.

Somewhat remarkably, both hydrogels and methylene blue are used as photosensitizers3 in “photodynamic therapy.”
[you can skip this paragraph, if you don’t want to get into deeply technical stuff; the idea needs further development, anyway] If something can be used in therapy, it can be almost certainly used for doing harm… Either way, even according to Wikipedia4, photosensitizers act as catalysts that pass something along from one place to another. Notably, “Generally, photosensitizers absorb electromagnetic radiation consisting of infrared radiation, visible light radiation, and ultraviolet radiation and transfer absorbed energy into neighboring molecules.”… “While many photosensitizers are organic or organometallic compounds, there are also examples of using semiconductor quantum dots as photosensitizers.” So, nanotech and light technology are appearing on common grounds, which doesn’t promise much good, if any. “Photocatalysis is the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a photocatalyst, the excited state of which ‘repeatedly interacts with the reaction partners forming reaction intermediates and regenerates itself after each cycle of such interactions.’”5
Sigma Aldrich “recommends” the substance in four forms and generously offers another four alternatives. Bon appetite.
If anyone still has the inclination to consume DMSO or methylene blue, by all means, it’s their life.
The Highest-Level Operatives Are Using Compartmentalization
Workers in one compartment have no access to the rest. People finding scraps of facts can hardly ever compile them into a whole, but the details can confuse them enough not to be able to see the forest from the trees.
You might want to save that for medical emergencies, but once you file, you can add your tax arrears, too.
According to Wikipedia (a source that is most likely there to mislead),
Photosensitizers are light absorbers that alter the course of a photochemical reaction. They usually are catalysts.[1] They can function by many mechanisms, sometimes they donate an electron to the substrate, sometimes they abstract a hydrogen atom from the substrate. At the end of this process, the photosensitizer returns to its ground state, where it remains chemically intact, poised to absorb more light.[2][3][4] One branch of chemistry which frequently utilizes photosensitizers is polymer chemistry, using photosensitizers in reactions such as photopolymerization, photocrosslinking, and photodegradation.[5] Photosensitizers are also used to generate prolonged excited electronic states in organic molecules with uses in photocatalysis, photon upconversion and photodynamic therapy. Generally, photosensitizers absorb electromagnetic radiation consisting of infrared radiation, visible light radiation, and ultraviolet radiation and transfer absorbed energy into neighboring molecules. This absorption of light is made possible by photosensitizers' large de-localized π-systems, which lowers the energy of HOMO and LUMO orbitals to promote photoexcitation. While many photosensitizers are organic or organometallic compounds, there are also examples of using semiconductor quantum dots as photosensitizers.[6]
Very good Ray. Hope you will get to chlorine dioxide someday, also called Miracle Mineral Supplement, using your favorite word "miracle"! The MSM is quite against it suggesting it should be good in paradoxical way for the alt people but I wonder...
Hopefully I get my doctorate in chemistry so I can understand the MSDS in full. I get it, on the surface DMSO seems like something to avoid. I am considering it for use on my wife's back problems if the wacko neurologists don't have a practical solution by the end of the week. She really doesn't want another surgery as she has had many in her 79 years.
The pain medications her PCP have put her on have wrecked her eating habits, bloated her stomach and messed with her innards. But three months of pain and immobility cannot go on, I hope.
The problem is that apparently DMSO kind of amplifies any chemical substance it comes in contact with. Meaning that if you consume it, it enhances the affects of drugs, supplements and food in the body. Or if used on the skin, it can draw in whatever substance may be present. That is a bit spooky.
I am familiar with MSDS sheets because we consulted them once in a while when using certain materials in our fabrication processes. Actually this was with a company owned by Thermo Electron before it merged with Fisher Scientific (1980-90s).
I would consult the doctor about using DMSO but either she will say no way or won't even know what it is. I should probably stick to my guns and not change my thinking that the miracle cure is when you DO not use big pharma drugs.
