Re: Someone asked me if using the dmso from the feed store was safe

December 30, 2004

I generally say that is what the vet gives me for my horse and my dog,

uses IV and orally and it is good enough for me. Also many people have

used " vet grade " DMSO for the past 35 years and I have yet to hear of

any issues. Industrial grade is what I would personally a void. And as

always it is a matter of personal discernment.

As you point out even pharmceuticals are not 100% safe. Nothing is and

those who want gurantees might want to start with rethinking their food

supply or the next meal they eat in a restaurant. Not to be flippant but

the issues of acetone and heavy metals are the two risks that I know of.

As I have pointed out before acetone has a very strong smell in in very

small amounts. Think nail polish remover, which has acetone. Heavy

metals are an issue if it was made from an impure water supply, mostly a

third world country issue.

If they simply must have assurances then they can get a prescription for

Rimso-50, a 50% Pharmaceutical grade DMSO available from a pharmacy.
