Not by itself, but when combined with DMSO, yes it does.

"DMSO readily crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier (this property of DMSO allows its utilization as an effective vehicle for transporting other substances that may not normally cross the Blood-Brain Barrier)."

From the book, DMSO: Nature's Healer published by Dr. Morton Walker in 1993 which I personally took many hours spread over the course of several nights scanning my copy into a 20MB PDF. The following are quotes directly from book - word for word.

Page 5:

"Studies in Chile also show DMSO to be a penetrant across the blood-brain barrier. It carries drugs effective against certain forms of mental illness directly into the brain."

Page 39:

"The central nervous system has a response to DMSO different from that to other drugs because DMSO passes the blood-brain barrier, easily penetrating it and flowing out again. Other drugs will pass through this usually impenetrable blood-brain barrier along with the solvent when they are molecularly mixed with it."

Page 148:

"Neurological head and spinal cord injuries and stroke are complex medical problems. Nevertheless, DMSO's wide range of action makes it useful in many of these cases. Through a combination of increased diffusion of fluids across body membranes and dehydration, the solvent relieves the damaging swelling and pressure that often accompany head and spinal injury. This relief comes about by the substance crossing both the skin barrier and the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier is a protective mechanism that exists between circulating blood and the brain, which limits the number of molecules reaching the brain. It prevents certain foreign proteins, natural body proteins, and other substances from entering, some of which may be toxic to nervous tissue. "At first we thought that this property of DMSO might be a disadvantage," says Dr. de la Torre, "because we assumed that once it penetrated the barrier, it would simply accumulate in the nervous tissue and cause more swelling. What it does in fact is enter the tissue, pick up water madly, and then rush it out of the system, relieving the pressure." The ability of DMSO to rapidly cross skin and blood-brain barriers enables it to assist in the penetration of other drugs, as was pointed out earlier. "For example, some tumors in the brain must be treated with chemotherapy injections. Huge quantities have to be injected before the drug begins to work, and at that point the toxicity of the drug may kill the patient," said de la Torre. "If you have a drug, such as DMSO, that, can transport the anti-cancer agent into the tumor and the immediately surrounding area; you can use decreasing concentrations of the chemotherapy agent."

I strongly suggest you purchase DMSO directly from Dr. Stanley Jacob's Laboratory which is located in Portland, Oregon, USA.

I would think it probably does cross the blood-brain barrier, since it is a small molecule. Also, for about 3 weeks of my initial Miracle-Mineral-Supplement cleanse, I had a lot of brain fog, which I would think had to do with the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement acting directly on the brain. The brain fog went away while I was still taking Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , so I assume whatever it was got cleaned out.
