If you thought what they did to ivermectin was bad, wait till you hear what they did to this drug.

In the 1960s and 70s, DMSO was hailed as a medical breakthrough for its ability to erase chronic pain and heal debilitating injuries.

But there was one problem…

Because DMSO couldn’t be patented, it threatened to replace lucrative NSAIDs and painkillers with a cheap cure.

Later, the FDA declared DMSO “dangerous” and let Big Pharma keep selling toxic painkillers instead.

DMSO has been shown to treat everything from pain and arthritis to nerve damage, inflammation, and even cataracts.

Find out how this one cheap cure became medicine’s best-kept secret.
