Aluminum cookware, non stick pans, plastics, etc. I stopped using aluminum in the seventies, and never cooked with anything except cast iron or stainless steel. Canned acidic foods, always buy bottled tomato sauces, lack of B12 causes cognitive decline, get those omega 3's into your system! No farmed fish!!!

There is a difference between senile dementia and alzheimers, alzheimers is a decline in all functioning, the person becomes passive, no interest in food or drink, language and the ability to be verbal goes away, incontinence of bowel and bladder towards the end. Dementia can be present up until death, the person may maintain verbal ability, there is confusion and paranoia, mood swings, nonsense speech, rage, loss of awareness, they may pick at unseen objects, strip in the dining room, yell about having to go somewhere, insist that they just talked with their husband or wife. To maintain cognitive accuity, the B vitamins, omega oils, Alpha Lipoic acid combined with L carnitine and fish oils are a great regimen.
Yup. Some now billionaire discovered a drug that lowered cholesterol in all cells. High cholesterol as a medical problem was then born. Our brains are cholesterol. Seems kinda obvious there would be issues. People need to be hung.
I read that book, "Healing with DMSO" by Amandha Vollmer and there was a story about a farmer who went into town to drink a beer or two (can't really remember how many but it wasn't a lot) and he went to drive back home, about a hour or so away from home. He was suddenly pulled over by the police. The police said he was swerving erratically in his lane. The farmer appeared to be drunk to the officer so they did a sobriety test. I believe the test showed his BACC to be way, way over the legal limit and the farmer claimed he only had two beers in an hour time frame. The bartender confirmed this.
It turned out prior to driving to the bar, the farmer was using DMSO on his livestock and he was applying DMSO barehanded. When he got to the bar, he was drinking beer and eating pretzels, licking the tip of his fingers. Apparently DMSO got into his system that way, by way of licking the tip of his fingers, it quickly carried the alcohol, intensifying the strength by 4x or so, throughout the whole body.
I may be a little off with parts of the story as I read that book about 3 years ago, but yes, DMSO can intensify the effect of whatever you use, i.e. alcohol, THC, steroids, Magnesium, Borax, etc.
This is also why you shouldn't use latex gloves or anything synthetic or man-made when handling/applying DMSO as it will both deteriorate the product (eating into latex) AND absorb the chemical properties of latex into your body. Use natural products like horse hair brush or bamboo if you need to apply something to your body like a paintbrush.
Response by Deaf MAGA Pede is a substantially accurate reflection of the episode detailed in the DMSO book mentioned.
My own experience- I had been taking 2 teaspoons full of DMSO daily for a month or so. Had a couple/3 shots of bourbon over a hour. Seemed to have no effect. Suddenly over maybe 10 minutes I was overwhelmed with drunkenness; as though I had consumed a bottle of bourbon. Inexplicable.
Since then- I will have a beer (one.). Or a bourbon (one shot.). That is while on a consistent DMSO regiment.
Here is GROK's response when I asked about DMSO being big in early '80s and then seemingly disappearing:
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) exploded into public attention in the early 1980s largely because of a perfect storm of media hype, celebrity endorsements, and a high-profile FDA crackdown. Here’s what happened, step by step, and why it vanished from the headlines almost as quickly as it appeared.1. The Spark: 60 Minutes and the “Miracle Drug” Narrative (1980)On March 23, 1980, CBS’s 60 Minutes aired a segment titled “The Riddle of DMSO,” featuring patients who swore the compound cured their arthritis pain, sprains, and even neurological conditions almost instantly when rubbed on the skin.
The show included dramatic testimonials (e.g., a woman who regained use of her hand after a stroke) and interviews with doctors who claimed DMSO was being suppressed by a conspiracy between the FDA and Big Pharma.
Viewers flooded Congress with letters—over a million in the following months—demanding DMSO be made available.
The Science (and the Hype)DMSO had been studied since the 1960s for its ability to penetrate skin and carry other drugs with it, plus its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
By 1980, it was FDA-approved only for one rare condition: interstitial cystitis (bladder instillation). Everything else—arthritis, sports injuries, stroke recovery—was off-label or experimental.
Early animal studies showed promise, but high-dose toxicity studies in the 1960s (especially lens changes in dogs) had spooked the FDA and halted human trials.
The Backlash: FDA Raids and Criminal Charges (1981–1983)As clinics began selling DMSO openly (some mixing it with unapproved drugs), the FDA cracked down.
In 1981, FDA agents raided clinics in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, seizing DMSO and arresting practitioners for “unapproved drug distribution.”
The most publicized case: Dr. Stanley Jacob (the “father of DMSO”) was investigated, though never charged. His clinic at Oregon Health Sciences University became a lightning rod.
A 1982 New York Times headline read: “F.D.A. Seizes ‘Miracle’ Drug in Raids on 5 Clinics.”
The Nail in the Coffin: The 1983 Congressional HearingsCongress held hearings in 1980 and again in 1983 to investigate FDA “suppression.”
But the scientific testimony was damning: No large, controlled human trials supported the miracle claims.
Toxicity concerns (especially eye damage) hadn’t been fully resolved.
Many “success stories” were anecdotal or involved DMSO mixed with steroids (the real active ingredient).
The hearings ended with no mandate to approve DMSO for broader uses.
The Quiet Fade (Mid-1980s Onward)By 1984, the media lost interest. No new approvals, no new scandals.
DMSO became a “health food store” staple—sold as a solvent (99.9% pure) with a wink: “Not for human use.” People still bought it to rub on sore joints, but it was no longer front-page news.
The FDA allowed topical DMSO for arthritis in veterinary medicine (e.g., horses), which fueled the black-market human supply.
Where It Stands TodayStill only FDA-approved for interstitial cystitis (as Rimso-50).
Available over-the-counter as a solvent, but any medical claim triggers FDA action.
Research continues (e.g., as a drug carrier or for scleroderma), but it’s niche.
TL;DR:DMSO was a media sensation in 1980–81 because of 60 Minutes and patient lobbying. The FDA’s aggressive raids and the lack of rigorous clinical trials killed the hype by 1983. It didn’t disappear—it just retreated to the gray market, where it’s stayed ever since.
Since FDA was instrumental in "killing it", you have to wonder if big Pharma was behind the curtain.

Most disease comes out of a needle.
This particular disease comes from statins, I suspect.

Anybody hear that you shouldn't use DMSO if you drink alcohol or smoke tobacco?
Viable?

Makes sense, since DMSO basically hastens the absorption rate.

Interesting how DMSO was big back in the early '80s, then it seemed you didn't hear about it. Meanwhile, alzheimers seems to have skyrocketed.
