Circumstances...Re: Betadine, Iodine.. ? How cheap are you?

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark & Members:

I was wondering if this would work and what concentration of DMSO would have to

be used safely?

I too am a chronic pain patient.... Rods in spine now.

I am also a certified aromatherapist and retired Massage Instructor.

I have personally been using an oil called Tamanu oil topically for pain and it

helps ALOT.

I was wondering however if dmso would blend with an oil and if so what

concentrations to use to make it safe?

Thank you

Willow
