I had not heard that about glycerine--disturbing and will look into it.

The formula should have read 75% CS instead of 70% anyway. This is

supposed to cure MRSA--haven't had that and haven't tried it for that. I

think it means topical need and use. Not internal. Any ideas on what

could substitute for the glycerine?? We need a good, natural humectant

that will disperse into the CS and DMSO. Would something like castor oil

disperse with the DMSO do you think? Will have to give various thingies a

try, but if anyone knows already, I hope you will be forthcoming with the

info. pj

There are many things besides mersa that can be helped with the mix... &

yes it os ment to be used topically...

Hi pj, I e-mailed Bradley with that question because one of the

folks wanting to use the mix for psoriasis was allergic to glycerin..{.I men

tioned some other oils that might be used also } I'm sure he won't mind

sharing the info. Here is what he said-----

There are, probably, other agents we could have used instead of

glycerin/glycerol.....but most had compromising

characteristics.....which eliminated them. Without belaboring the point

excessively, I offer----we desired a useful,non-toxic substance which was

water soluble (and thus very agreeable with DMSO).

Coconut oil, olive oil, etc., are not good choices for this reason.

Additionally, coconut oil solidifies at about 77 degrees F.----making it

unusable at room temperature (in this senario.), and neither coconut oil, olive

oil or sesame oil are water soluble---in their unmodified state.

Actually, glycerin/glycerol is a saponified member of the organic alcohol

family [....actually a triglyceride], called glycerol in its liquid state

and glycerin in its more solidified state.

Glycerol/glycerin is quite easily absorbed into the the external skin

tissues and furnishes excellent transfer characteristics. Uncombined, it does

provide a drying effect on moisture-laddened tissue.

The oils you suggest will, indeed, penetrate the skin....although MUCH

SLOWER than the mixture we employed.

Additionally, if you used the coconut oil or sesame oil they would impede

the absorption of the DMSO-entrained CS

solution .....simply because they are antagonistic to water.

Glycerol/glycerin has demonstrated to be quite non-toxic (in our

evaluations) and has performed (for us)

quite satisfactorily. At least in this application.

In answer to your question relative to the absorption of glycerin/glycerol

through the skin.....it would,

normally, be quite rapidly absorbed as a standalone.....as a component of

our protocol, the speed of cross-tissue transfer is greatly accelerated (by

almost an order of magnitude>. The hygroscopic nature of glycerin does not

compromise this protocol simply because of the large volumetric component

of the colloidal silver solution.
