Re: DMSO Itching, burning, and odor

[Guest guest]

Anywhere the skin is thin you should dilute DMSO to 30% or

so as that

skin is more sensitive. The itching is release of Histamine

from Mast

Cells caused by DMSO. With repeated use in the same area the

Mast

Cells are depleted and the itching reaction ceases. Does not

seem to

happen in areas where the skin is thicker or just where

there are fewer

Mast Cells. It is also drying so moisturizing with Aloe, Emu

Oil or other

lotions helps.

Interesting about the honey! I wonder if we can mix our own

at home?

Honey is known to contain natural levels of hydrogen

peroxide which is

an oxidizing agent. DMSO being an antioxidant might be somehow

interacting and possibly neutralizing so that what comes out

of the 70%

bottle could be less than that. I don't know for sure, just

thinking out

loud here.

But if it controls the odor and still works you can't argue

with results!

Of all the different DMSOs I have, this one is also my favorite.

Sharon

After seeing this guys website, I decided to give his product a try.

http://dmso.bz/pages/1/index.htm

Purchased a 16oz bottle (it comes in a glass bottle, which I like).

He claims his DMSO formulation, which is a 70% solution and includes some amount of honey, causes very few if any of the "negative" effects of DMSO: itching, burning, and odor.

After trying his product, which I used several times on my back for a lower back sprain and on my knee for chronic knee pain, and on my tennis elbow, I have to say it looks like he is telling the truth, at least in my case.

The most I have noticed is, once, when I put it on my back, I got a lot of itching, but some skin cream put a stop to it immediately. The other times there was no itching. I also applied it to a sore calf muscle after running, and got a little itching and burning (very little), but topricin stopped that right away (and added to the healing effect).

The back and knee pain are now gone, and I am still working on my elbow.

I have found this product more effective than the 50% solution that I purchased from Labs.

I asked my wife if my breath or body had any DMSO odor, and she said no, so it is not just my opinion.

Pricey, but looks like a good product for the occasional user.

Way better than the 70% Gel or roll on they sell in the health food store.

$26 for 16 oz is pretty high priced. I pay $8 locally and

less if I order

it for 99.9%. I can put it in glass, add 30% distilled water

and a bit of

honey and still be well below $26.

Glad to know it works and that someone is making a good

living off

of it. Course there is the legal defense fund these people

no doubt

put some of their profit into just in case.

Sounds like you are onto something. I wonder if one could buy the lower priced "solvent" DMSO that is pure stuff. Then, dilute it 30% with distilled water, then stir in non-pasteurized honey and get same results? Could probably make a greater amount for the same money?

rheumatoid arthritis and Lyme

Hello group, I have RA and suspect Lyme disease as a cause. I live in Australia. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what might work ?thanks,Leonie

[Guest guest]

Their site said the somehow figured out the right amount of

honey to add.

I would be willing to bet it is the amount that will

dissolve and not make it

too much of a sticky mess. ;-}

Just bought some local wildflower honey and may have to try

making up a

batch myself. Might even make oral DMSO taste better. But if

it could do

away with the odor that would be wonderful news!

If you try that, let us know how it works.

I have already used about 4 of the 16 oz that I purchased.

I don't really want to continue paying that price for it, so if making my own is a possibility, I would like to do so.

I should mention that the stuff in the bottle DOES have an odor, although pretty mild.

But I don't appear to have any breath or body odor from it.

I have no idea how adding honey could achieve this, but it seems to.

It is supposed to be 70% solution of DMSO, and I have put it various places on my body without further dilution.

It caused a little itching and slight burning for a few minutes, all very tolerable.

When I tried 70% previously (in the form of a gel) it burned off a layer of skin pretty quickly (even after treating with aloe vera gel), so this is definitely different.

I've been using 50% DMSO:50% raw honey for an eye protocol and often

ingest it as well. Because I clean (via freezing) my inexpensive DMSO,

odor is minimized if not eliminated.

Since I know I can't smell DMSO on my breath/body, I don't use it

without taking chlorophyll. Chlorophyll in sufficient quantity and

frequency for one's body (likely different for each person) is

effective against the odor.

How well does the honey mix with the DMSO? Does it make it

thicker?

You are mixing it half and half right?

Thanks,

Hi:

I'm very new to the group. Just found out about DMSO a few weeks ago. I

purchased some 99.9% DMSO from Lucky Vitamin. I used it in myself and had

no itching or burning but when I put it on my husband his knees turned

red, there was the itching and burning, but no odd smell. I then mixed

the DMSO with some really good omega 3-6-9 oil. It completely stopped the

itching and burning and again, no smell. He also said that it was just as

effective as the full strength.

[Guest guest]

I would dilute the DMSO to 50% or less to use on thin

skinned areas like the

knees. I am constantly impressed with what lower

concentrations can do.

The oil is a great idea.
