Guest guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 hi bobbi...super industrial solvent from pulpwood manufacture used in animals not in humans not approved for human use by FDA available at most health food vet supply places...some athletes arthritics chronic pain folks uas a capful mixed up with lanacaine and cortaid as an all purpose penetrant salve...toxicity pretty low if used in small amounts...when applied it penetrates so well it gives a galic or onion taste...does not contain etoh not broken down in significant quantities by the liver therefore would not effect EtG..one medical use that is approved intesitial cystitis....regards,r As an aprotic solvent, DMSO strongly solvates cations, leaving a highly reactive anion. Thus in DMSO, basicity and nucleophilicity is enhanced, and it is a superior solvent for many elimination, nucleophilic substitution, and solvolysis reactions in which nucleophile and base strength are important. Nucleophilic substitution reactions in which halogens or sulfonate esters are displaced by anions such as cyanide, alkoxide, thiocyanate, azide, and others are accelerated 1000 to 10,000 times in DMSO over the reaction in aqueous alcohol. Dimethyl sulfoxide is also superior to protic solvents as a media for elimination reactions. Its high dielectric constant makes DMSO a useful solvent for dissolving resins, polymers, and carbohydrates. It is employed commercially as a spinning solvent in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. The apparent low toxicity and high skin permeability have led to extensive studies in numerous biological systems, including humans. Inorganic salts or small-molecular-weight organic compounds dissolved in DMSO can be transported across skin membrane, indicating a potential hazard in commercial use.lilibit007@... wrote: does anyone know the dangers or uses of this??

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hello everyone, I have seen references earlier on this forum to members' use of DMSO, but have not found a post with Bee's position on this. The only reference I could find on the website is in an article by Sally Fallon and Enig, PhD, Weston A. Price Foundation. I would like to know if you consider this acceptable for use, Bee. Thank you in advance, H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I myself consider that an extremely dangerous chemical. It can pull anything that is on the surface of the skin into the body. Unless you're very careful, it can pull poisons into the body that normally wouldn't make it through the skin.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Bee, I'm not sure how much reading you want to do, but here are a couple of links with info on DMSO: http://www.dmso.org/subLevels/what.htm http://www.dmso.org/subLevels/literature.htm On this forum, people referred to using DMSO in messages 58246, 52904, 41862, 11466, and 11444. On your website, in the article entitled " Hormones and Health " (http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/women2.php) the authors state: " In horses, endometrial fibrosis has been treated successfully with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which is approved for use in animals but not in humans.24 " The reason I'm asking is that, before I discovered how effective oregano oil and castor oil packs are for my frozen shoulder, DH wanted me to use DMSO for the pain and inflammation. Thanks for your feedback on this. H. > > > > Hello everyone, > > I have seen references earlier on this forum to members' use of DMSO, but have not found a post with Bee's position on this.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have used DMSO quite a bit over the years for sprains and bruises, but Zack is right - need to be sure your skin is really clean of anything else, because it is a solvent and will carry it all the way to your bones! With this though, you can use aloe vera, or arnica or herbal salves with stuff like comfrey (be sure the other ingredients are good!) and it will carry it all the way in. I also find that because it is a sulfur based solvent, it is really harsh for me with the Candida - I tend to get localized rashes from it, and feel kinda whoosy, because it gets in the bloodstream and releases from your lungs (hence the weird garlic-type breath!), which I feel fairly certain is from it killing yeast in me and/or releasing toxins. I think it is too strong of a medicine for me at this point in my healing, but if I had a broken bone (knock on wood, NOT!) I would go ahead and use it to assist the healing. Bee, there is a group on it at this link that I have found useful: DimethylSulfoxide-DMSO/?yguid=337790630 and some good information here: http://www.dmso.org/ I, too am super curious what your take on DMSO would be! When you have time, of course... I know you are super busy and I am grateful for all you do here!

However, I thought you had another reference from WAPF that recommended DMSO for humans, and I wanted to check it out, if that were true. Your references are to a medical doctor's site, so why would anyone trust a medical doctor's advice particularly when Dr. 's is selling it himself: " Ultra Pure DMSO & MSM can be ordered directly from Dr. 's Laboratory. " As Zack wrote, DMSO is an extremely dangerous chemical. It can pull anything that is on the surface of the skin into the body. Unless you're very careful, it can pull poisons into the body that normally wouldn't make it through the skin. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like any chemical it is poisonous and damaging to the body. Unrefined coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil will do the same thing as DMSO, as I wrote yesterday in reply to questions about castor oil packs: /message/106422 Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi Bee, I'm late in responding, but I can't keep up with my life right now.;-) Sorry. No, it was not a doctor who recommended using DMSO to me. DH is my Dear Husband. We have used DMSO in the past and found it very helpful. In the past, I have gone by a book written by Dr. Morton and articles I found on the Internet. I understand it is used extensively in sports medicine to help athletes recover faster from injuries. I understand your position, so I'm not asking for further discussion. Just wanted to explain the background for my question. Thanks again, H. > > > > Hi Bee, > > The reason I'm asking is that, before I discovered how effective oregano oil and castor oil packs are for my frozen shoulder, DH wanted me to use DMSO for the pain and inflammation.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi Susa,I have both endocrine and yeast problems and I am taking iodine among other things. I do have DMSO but i got it for topical use for my mother's arthritis which she uses in conjunction with magnesium oil. It seems to help lessen the pain a bit. I got my DMSO from Lab, i am in Europe, if you e-mail them they will tell you the website to get it in the UK which is where I got mine. I'm sorry but I forget the name of the website. Lab is a reputable brand. Let us know if you find it any help with your yeast problems.ValFrom: Susa <nata70fi@...>iodine Sent: Fri, 26 August, 2011 2:36:20Subject: dmso I recently joined the LDN group, and they seem to be using iodine also. I read about using dmso together with iodine if you have yeast problems. "If you are concerned about yeast die off, and you should be, I took a capful of dmso with my iodine cocktail, that will illiminate the die off problems. " is dmso beneficial to try if probable yeast and does anybody have experience with it here? I think yeast is very common in people with endocrine issues which many of us here have. so could it be that adding dmso would help the detox symptoms because some of it might be yeast die off? what would be the best place to buy dmso for European? iHerb does not seem to carry it.
