Re: Problems with DMSO Useage.

[Guest guest]

Evening

I have never had any problems

taking DMSO orally or topically and question

that the DMSO would cause this kind of reaction.

How long have you been using it orally? How much, 1

tsp or 1tbs?

I need to buy a book on DMSO.

Did Dr. take a tbs every day for 32 years?

Hello Anndrea.

I'm new here too (hello everybody!), and have very limited experience with DMSO.

However, I know a lot about toxic chemicals. You were right to mention the other

stuff that you were in contact with -- because it's probable that the DMSO,

acting as the splendid carrier it is, brought something else into your system

and that other substance is what actually caused your reactions.

By " Bute, " do you mean PHENYLBUTAZONE ? Here's some information on its toxicity

from Environmental Defense.

http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/summary.tcl?edf_substance_id=50%2d33%\

2d9

Phenylbutazone is a suspected cardiovascular or blood toxicant. What caught my

eye was this:

" Cardiovascular and blood toxicity is defined as adverse effects on the

cardiovascular or hematopoietic systems that result from exposure to chemical

substances....Because the cardiovascular system is complex, adverse effects

resulting from exposure to chemicals can arise through a variety of mechanisms.

Toxicants can contribute to cardiovascular disease by directly damaging cardiac

and blood vessel tissue, initiating arteriosclerotic plaque formation,

stimulating the INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE... " [emphasis added]

Phenylbutazone is also a suspected carcinogen, gastrointestinal or liver

toxicant, kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant, and respiratory toxicant. The

neurotoxicity and respiratory toxicity could have accounted for your breathing

problems and numbness. Be aware that Environmental Defense is a little on the

*conservative* side regarding its mention of whether or not something is

dangerous. So when it says " suspected " toxicant, the chemical is pretty much

guaranteed to BE a toxicant.

Finally, a comment on the shampoo, conditioner, soap and deodorant: unless such

personal care items are homemade from very simple ingredients -- or bought from

a company like Weleda or Aubrey Organics -- all that stuff is highly toxic,

between the dyes and the heavy metals and the detergents, which can cause nerve

damage among other things. I would think that the DMSO would have to be used at

the same time as these chemicals in order to get the kind of reaction you

reported -- so my bet is with the Bute. However, I wouldn't use those personal

care products anyhow.

If you have access to a sauna, sweating out the chemicals would be a good idea.

Thank you Nenah for all of your great info! That is really scarey

about the Bute! I have been sweating like crazy all week at work so I

think I am getting a lot of toxins out of my body! It has been 80++

and extremely humid and I work at a boarding stable in addition to

having my own horses at home. Feeding, cleaning around 15-20 stalls a

day calls for a lot of sweating in a sauna type of weather/climate at

the moment.

Thanks again,

You're welcome, Anndrea. One more thing: make sure that your diet consists of

enough protein and not so many carbs. The liver needs a high-protein-to-low-carb

ratio in order to break down the poisonous substances in the body so that you

can then sweat or piss them out.
