Abstract

It has been previously shown that positive electrification of the human internal environment contributes to its excessive hydration and, consequently, to the development of cancer. This alone allows understanding why DMSO, which binds water protons and removes them from the human body, is an effective anti-cancer agent. At the same time, other properties of DMSO may also contribute to its anti-cancer activity. Thus, it may be quite important that DMSO is able to remove HO radicals from 8-HO-Guanines, which are characteristic of cancer cell DNA, thereby converting them into unoxidized Guanines, which are characteristic of healthy cell DNA. Taking all this into account, it is appropriate to consider DMSO as an anticancer agent that can act at both the physicochemical and genetic levels. Therefore, specific examples of the use of DMSO in anticancer therapy deserve attention.
