Erica Drum was told her son Jackson would never breathe on his own again.

A hockey hit launched him headfirst into the boards. Broken neck & spine. Paralyzed.

Odds of recovery: 1 in 1,000,000

Jackson is now walking and has recovered every fine motor skill he lost.

What happened?

His loving mother took a chance on a substance called DMSO. And what followed was nothing short of a miracle.

ERICA DRUM: “[Doctors] said there was no hope of recovery… He is vent-dependent, feeding tube-dependent. We were told he is never going to eat or drink or be able to breathe independently.”

“I had a friend, and she’s like, ‘Hey, I know of this thing [DMSO] that’s supposed to help spinal cord injuries, and it helps reduce the swelling.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, well maybe we can try that.’ Because at this point, we didn’t have any options.”

“We decided to try [DMSO] topically. We bought like a little rollerball one… We started that on day four or five, and by day seven, I would poke his feet or his legs, and he would open his eyes [despite being on intense painkillers].”

“And then there was a PT working with him, and she felt his hip flexor fire. And they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ He went from an Asia A to an Asia C, which usually is not supposed to happen.”

“You’re either a severe spinal cord injury with no sensation, nothing, like an Asia A. You don’t go from an A to a C. From there, he was Asia C. And I’m still rubbing this stuff on him every chance I get.”

“I mean, I would rub that thing on him probably ten times a day. What’s interesting is I was able to rub it on the left side of his body more than his right side. His left side is definitely stronger.”

“The right side is slowly coming back. His hand grip on this side was like 1 pound probably four months ago. And now it’s up to 20 pounds. He literally has every single fine motor skill. It’s a matter of us now strengthening them.”

“He hasn’t used his wheelchair in three weeks… We moved to the arm crutches. And now in therapy, he’s working on walking without the arm crutches.”

“We were like ventilator-dependent, medication-dependent… And now we’re down to just the baclofen.”

“My son is one of the only people I’ve met that does not have the nerve pain with his condition. So he is off of all nerve pain meds.”

Jackson’s doctors can’t explain how he went from a quadriplegic to a walking, self-sufficient person again.

But his mother attests it was the DMSO.

The thing is, Jackson isn’t the only person with a story like this. 🧵
