DMSO vs Emu Oil as Medicinal Transport - was Mast Cell Cancer Question

[Guest guest]

Garnet,

I must say: you rock! You are like a walking holistic therapy

encyclopedia. :-) Such a wealth of information!

I was wondering how emu oil differs from DMSO in it's ability to

transport medicinals through the skin. It certainly is receiving a lot

of press

these days (emu oil that is) and I was wondering if using that as a

transport (instead of DMSO) might help to avoid the histamine release

associated with DMSO.

On the other hand, if the histamine is released slowly, in the

controlled manner you described, might DMSO actually eventually DEPLETE

the

histamine stores of the tumor, thereby shrinking it?

Emu oil is penetrating but it is not a solvent like DMSO and not AS

penetrating as DMSO. Emu oil reaches sub-dermal layers. DMSO reaches

blood, body tissues and can transport substances across the Blood Brain

Barrier in sufficient blood concentration, generally reached only with

IV administration.

I don't know how fast the tumor is producing histamine. Tumor cells grow

much faster than normal cells, in general. I would proceed slowly and

watch carefully with each dose.

Is there any reason you do not want to inject the tumor with CS? This

would avoid the histamine release and deliver high concentrations of CS

into the tumor.
