@ Dirk from Vredenburg - you can try any vetinary supplier, they should stock DMSO. There are some veterinarians who also stock it - especially the saddleries and those who specialize in equine medicine. They may also stock hyaluronic acid.

Hi Steven,
Thanks for your interest in my post! I did try a drop of dmso mixed in with magnesium oil once or twice after writing my post. It worked quite well -- my knees felt so much better that I didn't need to do it again! I never tried the dmso mixed in with B-12 though. Sorry!
I have mainly used the dmso in conjunction with other remedies to treat nail fungus, which has proven to be a real pain in the you-know-what. I combined dmso with grapefruit seed extract this winter: twice a day, 7 days a week. My nail didn't appear to improve, so in February, I tried dmso with wild oregano oil to my toes. 2 months later my toes looked a lot better, but still not cured. In May I combined dmso with a drop of apple cider vinegar every day. Just when I thought the fungus was gone, it spread all over my big toe a few days after I filed down the nail. So I have had to start all over again on the remedies. I am skipping the dmso this time and simply soaking my toes in organic acv and distilled water for at least 1/2 hour a day. I am every hopeful, but who knows if I will succeed.
I also tried dmso with fresh aloe recently to treat a nasty oven burn on my arm. (As I mentioned in another post a few days ago, a hyaluronic acid supplement I was taking made me really out of it for about a week -- almost got in a car accident and then I got a nasty burn). The dmso and fresh aloe remedy combo didn't go so well. The application of the dmso on top of the fresh aloe caused an immediate and intense burning sensation followed by days of red skin... not on the burn, but on the area surrounding the burn. The "sunburn" is only now starting to go away.Well, not sure what went wrong there...
Sorry I don't have more positive feedback to give on the dmso!

Hey Deirdre,
An interesting bit I learned from a couple of the alternative lifestyle leaders is that dmso acts differently above the waist as opposed to below the waist. It seems to burn and cause the skin to get very red above the waist but not below. Just thought I'd pass that on. Daniel Vitalis says to dilute it if you use above the waist.
Maybe that's what happened.
Hope you're well, Lisa

Dear Hobart, I read your post on DMSO how when you applied it to your test areas and the skin puckered and felt dry. I have done the same thing on my finger where I have really bad joint pain. It took away the pain but left my finger puckered, pruned and sensitive to touch. Did it go away or is there still damage to the tissue where you applied it? I haven't seen an answer to your post. So I am hoping you can tell me if your skin went back to normal or not. Thank you

Posted by Stuart (Oklahoma) on 12/07/2014
Leo,
Tested 1.0 ounce Papain dissolved into 4 ounce of DMSO gel (90%) applied topically over the spine.
Papain mix applies very sticky; must let it dry before you put on shirt, or it will glue together.
More over, the mix liquifies to a amber goo after two days. I will dispose the prepared mix, and just make 'just enough' mix for daily use. It smells bad when the mix ages.
I may recommend using a salt shaker and apply papain powder directly to DMSO applied to spinal axis.
Results after three days is still unknown. No issues, positive or negative; none is expected until about two weeks daily application.

Ticks
Posted by Denise (ohio) on 08/25/2023
Hi..
At first your tick idea sounded good, then I thought, what about the fact that DMSO makes other substances enter the body through our skin? Anything we have on before, PR put on up to 30 mins? An hour? After, absorbs into our system. I wonder of this could backfire and take any tick borne infection deeper into the body? Or maybe the DMSO is so awesome that is kills all that on the spot, I am not sure.. Just wanted to through that out there for discussion.

JMHO, but I think using low grade DMSO from a feed or tractor supply store is VERY inadvisable. Internally or topically. Lots of impurities that the DMSO will take right into your blood stream, and across the blood/brain barrier.

DMSO Smell Issues
Posted by Donna Rabbitt (Denver, CO.) on 04/06/2021
My first question is how long can one keep DMSO? I have a gallon of Medical Grade that I forgot about and it has been stored in a dark closet for about 10 years. Is it still OK to use?
Secondly: Years ago I was using DMSO in an exterior manner and not really all that much but using daily. My friend and co-worker asked me if I was using it. I said Yes, she said that I stunk to high heavens and she recognized the smell because her husband used to soak his feet in it daily. I could not smell it at all and I have a really good smeller.
Is there an aromatic oil that will not be offensive after applying with the DMSO that anyone has used?
Love is....

You need to dilute it, of course... it still will taste horrible, but pure DMSO MUST be diluted. Use pharma grade/USP only.
Internally, I take it with apple juice... it is bearable.
