Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 DMSO does have a characteristic and definite garlicky odor to my sense of smell. And some people seem to have that odor come out in breath and B.O. when they use DMSO. But some people do not get the odor........I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why some people don't give off the odor after using it and some do? TIA, paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 It's a funny thing, some people can not even taste it, others taste if for days. My husand is one of the latter. It can take up to three days for him to clear the taste even after very small amounts from nebulizing or spraying it in his nose and ears. Those who can not taste it at all are very rare. It may have something to do with how many taste buds you have, but I am just speculating on this. Some people are " super tasters " and actually have more tastebuds, many more, than others. Although my husband is a smoker of over 30 years he has a very sensitive sense of taste, so I suspect he is a super taster. It takes longer to clear it from your body after topical use than oral or injected. Because it is excreted in the oil and sweat it helps to shower more frequently. As for the bad breath, it is due to Dimethyl Sulfide, DMSO after it has lost the Oxygen atom. DMS is in coffee, corn, clams, tomatoes, milk - a variety of foods. I have heard of odorless DMSO that was devloped in Switzerland. It was in a book published in 1981. That book reported that it was not legal to import. I don't know what has happened since then. But I plan to follow up on it since my husband is so sensitive to the taste. Garnet > DMSO does have a characteristic and definite garlicky odor to my sense > of smell.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I have done the administration of DMSO in the bladder for the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis. I had surgical gloves for this procedure and to be totally honest I would smell the stuff all that day in the clinic and could actually taste it in my mouth while doing the procedure! I would feel so bad for my patients because this was the only available treatment and the effects of the DMSO were horrendous. These patients not only had to live with constant pain but also had carry the social stigma of the body odour that came with the DMSO. I have never witnessed a cure or the medical benefits of this treatment for interstitial cystitis. Has anyone here with this disease ever had any beneficial effects from the DMSO? I am a retired RN with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and was intrigued by the yahoo DMSO news group. What I was told is that DMSO was an industrial cleaner for floors!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I know someone who was treated for cycstitis secondary to his radiation implants migrating. Nothing else helped. reports a high success rate although it is not 100%. MSM had also been used. MSM The Definitive Guide by Stanley has info and scientific citations on the use of MSM and DMSO. It is available from Amazon and I highly recommend it. Proceeds go to research. It is a recent publication and covers many uses with supporting data.
