I think you will find that the inability of a solvent to convey a solute
which is greater than a certain molecular size is well documented. Look
at osmosis an reverse osmosis. That is the name given to this action.
Molecules greater than a certain size simply cannot cross a membrane
barrier and get left behind. The question is not if it will happen with
DMSO, but rather what sized molecules can penetrate the barrier, usually
the skin for what we are talking about.
It is easy to prove that large molecules in DMSO will not be absorbed
into the body. Take a really big molecule, such as a 1/4 carat diamond,
and put it into dmso. Then see if it will go through the skin. If you
try it, you will find that it will just sit there.

I used to work for a horse vet, and he told me that it is a potent
solvent, which is why it is so useful as a topical agent to carry
medications for horses and other animals. He suggested I use gloves to
handle it, as it carries lots of things inside the body with it when
it goes, and he felt it was necessary to clean the area of the animals
skin well before applying it. Since he had the practical experience
dealing with it on a daily basis, I believe him, I feel no need to
read up on it since I have no plans to use it at this time.
If you understand how solvents work, it is not just dependent on the
molecule size, but often on an oil/water basis, on occasion it is on
an acid/ base difference. Substances dissolve into it. Come to think
of it, it is probably water based, since we cleaned up with water, so
it may be dependent on the acid base balance, not sure. I am not sure
I believe that statement about molecule size, it may be just a theory
about how it works, similar to the candida theories, which are dicey.
I felt the candida people really had no sound basis for their beliefs
about how it worked or some of the protocol, but enough of it worked
that people felt some relief. In point of fact, many infections that
are called candida are actually caused by other pathogenic fungi, and
some of them produce potent toxins that can be disabling. Anyway, I
usually take some convincing before I will admit that a theory is
correct, even if the protocol works. The outcomes are often, in my
opinion, not so relevant to the theory of how it works. We humans love
to have explanations for things, and are very creative in coming up
with them- which is a good thing. Only in refining the theories by
trial and error do we usually come to know something.

DMSO only caries molecules that are smaller than itself. Most dirt
is not. Sol knows of which he speaks. Go read Jacob, please. He's
the primary DMSO researcher.

It is a solvent. It might kill viruses, though, dunno about that.
