Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 This is information that has been posted previously on this group from Garnet. www.jeffersequine.com $4.95 pint vet market 99.9%, Roll on and Gel also. www.jacoblab.com more expensive but higher level of purity www.lifesvigor.com packaged for the human health store market instead of vet market For pharmaceutical quality you need a prescription. It is called Rimso-50, and is 50%. Some insurance companies will pay for it if you have things like Lupus. I have a friend who uses it with her physician's blessing. Got her off cortisone shots in the back for her Lupus. She mentioned it costs $50 for a bottle, not sure what size, probably 8 oz but maybe 16 oz. Also if it is used for cystitis of the bladder, but in that instance you don't buy it the attending physician or treatment facility will supply it. www.gaylordchemical.com is the only USP lab producing USP grade DMSO. It is not sold to the public. Some people can arrange to purchase it for specific purposes with signed purchase agreements. A 55 gallon barrel is $14,000.00 . Smaller quantities are more expensive depending on the amount and the purchase agreement. They will discount to some manufacturers depending on the arrangement. They support new businesses that want to use USP DMSO in their products but do not support someone wanting to rebottle and sell it OTC as pure DMSO. > > How to safely mix with water? Always add DMSO to water since it releases heat. Adding water to concentrated DMSO will produce a large release of heat. Never boil DMSO, it boils at over 320*, the vapors are toxic, lethal actually. This is not to say that inhaling nebulized DMSO is lethal, it is not because it is actually liquid in very tiny droplets. The droplets coming out of a nebulizer just look like vapor, they are actually not in a gas form. > > Safe internal doses. 4cc orally is what Dr Stanley states as a recommended daily oral dose. Although many have taken much more orally or by slow IV push. It is difficult to recommend a dose when dose response studies are lacking and when toxicity studies indicate that the lethal dose in animal models was not reached until 40,000 times the therapeutic dose. Dr is in the process of writing a 16 volume set on DMSO. There is more scientific literature on DMSO than on MSM its cousin, MSM being DMSO2, that is DMSO with two oxygen atoms. This set will be Dr 's "masterpeice" and many of us simply can not wait. > > How long can you take it internally? Indefinitely. It is naturally occuring in your food so you already take it in corn, coffe, oysters and other natural sources. It is extracted from trees, although it sounds like a chemical keep in mind that we are all made up of chemicals. The distinction is between naturally occuring, naturally extracted and synthetically altered or manufactured. Chemicals are not bad, it is the way they are used, how they interact with our bodies and how the artificial ones are designed, for what purpose and how they act in combination when they mix in our air or other mixtures to form new compounds or "cocktails" that have greater action in combination, some actions are good, some are bad, some are neutral. Remember too that herbs are chemicals. Everything in life boils down to a chemical and electrical interaction with living tissue. > > Can you take it with food - or on an empty stomach? Best on an empty stomach. It causes some queasiness and can cause a transient headache due to vasodilation. I have taken it with some food in my stomach and it did give me a slight nauseous feeling that passed in 20 mintues, but I would avoid doing this. I was just curious. > > Safe topical doses. Some people, a very few, are so sensitive that they claim they have never experienced a dose that did not bother them, they can not even work around it with gloves on. Others need to keep topical concentrations in the 10-30% range. Some like myself can use it full strength with no untoward reaction except a bit of drying effect and maybe some itching from Histamine release. With continued application Histamin stores are depleted from mast cells and there is no itching. I have compresed an are on my chest for over a week, keeping it constantly moist. It did dry the skin to the point that it did not rehydrate, although I did not apply Emu Oil or Aloe Vera Gel which is recommended, I just let it run it's course and it grew back new skin after a couple weeks. Again just curious. Now if I use full strength cause I am in a hurry to treat a burn or a trauma I follow up with Emu Oil. Best to keep dilution bottles around in the kitchen, workshop, barn, car etc where it is there when you need it. The faster you apply it the better it works to repair and avoid tissue destruction effects of the burn or trauma. > > How to deal with the smell. Is there anyway to not have the smell? Chlorophyll tablets, I take two 50 mg and that works for me. Each person's metabolism is slightly different. Chlorophyll tabs are cheap and are good for you, great blood cleanser and a magnesium source. The Chlorophyll molecule is almost the exact same as the Heme molecule that makes up hemoglobin. I also give it to my dogs when they are in heat and it takes the odor away. I have read recently that Mg can prevent body odor, so perhaps there is a connection. > > How to deal with the dryness. Pretreat area with aloe vera gel. I also use Emu Oil, mostly after the DMSO, but pretreating would not hurt either. What ever you pretreat with should be food grade since the DMSO will carry it in to your tissues. > > What not to mix with dmso. Anything toxic, some essential oils that should not be used internally, anything really concentrated that you would normally dilute before consuming. > > What is safe to mix with it? For diluting I use distilled water or CS made with distilled water. Filtered water would be OK too as long as there is no chance of cholorine or other toxins in the water. > > Can you spray it up the nose? > Can you use a rubber hose? Sorry, just had a Dr. Seuss spirit come > upon me. <Giggle> actually yes you can use a rubber hose! I do spray it up my nose, I use drops or a meter nasal spray bottle. I generally dilute to 20% but have used 30% drops when my sinuses were very stuffy and I had a bad migraine, it steps the migraine down to a tolerable level within minutes and the stuffy sinuses drain immediately and continue to drain for about ten minutes. > > If yes, what dilution? > > Can you use it in a urinary catheter? That is the one FDA approve used. To infuse into the bladder via catheter to treat cystitis of the bladder. > > If yes, what dilution? 30 or 50%, not sure, I have used both as infusion in my dogs who had a slight uterine metritis and would probably start with 30% since with DMSO just 2.4% to 4% is used to transport Stem Cells you just gotta realize that it does not always take high concentrations. I am sure the cocentration for bladder infusion is in the literature. Try a Pub Med search. > > Can you use it in your eyes? Yes, I use 10% but even 20% is well tolerated. There are some reports of improvement in eye disease. DMSO Nature's Healer by Dr Morton has more details and is a great reference, it is $11 from Amazon. You really will not regret buying it. There are other books but Dr 's has been updated in 1994. > > Safe dilution? > > Can you use it in your ears? Yep I use it in eyes, ears, nose and throat during flu season and I nebulize. For ears I can go to 30% with no problems. Nebulizing I use 20%. I recommend nebulizing and sprayin in eyes, ears, nose and throat to anyone who travels on airplanes a lot. > > Safe dilution? > > Well those are the things I want to know. Perhaps there are questions > I didn't ask and should? You can extract herbs with DMSO and apply the solution topically. Doug Cameron has the details and recently posted them somewhere, maybe on his Equine Herbal list, can't remember. Doug if you see this would you repost the instructions? It's a great idea for those who don't like the taste of herb tinctures or can't use alcohol. Slow IV push is one of the most effective ways to administer for heartattack, stroke or spinal cord injury. The details of how to do this are not complex but should be under taken with some training and understanding of the precautions. I can't really explain it fully here but it is something I would not hesitate to do. 100 ml DMSO in 1000 ml of sterile saline can be dripped in as well. Now with a new friend-happy design!
