Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I can't think of any reason not to apply it. DMSO causes cancer cells to revert to normal in vitro (petri dishes). But I am not an expert in the treatment of cancer and I do not know everything there is to know about DMSO. I do know that there are many misconceptions about DMSO and that it is a very safe substance, used to transport human organs and keep them alive during the transplant process, so it puzzles me that it is thought of as a dangerous or harmful substance. I would be grateful if you do find any information if you would please post it to the list.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Have never had to treat and cancer, but I have read that DMSO will seek cancer cells for some unknown reason. So, if you mixed say bicarbonate of soda with distilled water and added that to DMSO for penetration, I do not see why you could not put that directly over the area with the tumor. It would carry the alkalizing agent into the tumor itself and raise it's pH. That would be a good thing. Just hang in there and someone more knowledgeable will weigh in on this subject and maybe tell us all why you should or should not. > > Hello, > > I have seen a few posts on this topic but still unsure of the best advice. > Does anyone know why there is some recommendation not to apply DMSO > for pain > directly to an area of cancer?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 , I remember reading this as well, although I can't remember the reasoning.I seem to remember you could still use it topically, just to apply it a certain distance away, or perhaps in a certain direction? I will try to see if I can find the original reccomendation, which my reccollection is, told why. 'Course, memories either the first or last thing to go,....can't remember which.I'll post it if I find it.
