Guest guest Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Alone and-or straight is not the best way. look to commercial preparations .. your Aloe idea is one of them. Another emollient something that will also absorb is the idea. Emu and Glycerin are others ---tls DMSO application on wound .. I had her put aloe vera on it, but have to think the aloe vera w/ DMSO would be better. Of course, maybe there's a better choice than that, if so would like to know. My main question is just applying DMSO directly to a wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Dianne's suggestion about colloidal silver is a good one. I have always heard that one is NOT to use DMSO directly on an open wound but it can be used around the wound (for swelling, etc.) My daughter owns and raises horses and works at the local vet parttime and uses DMSO on the horses all the time. We got into a heated discussion about the application of DMSO on open wounds (she says no.. I say why not? lol). I had stubbed my toe on a piece of furniture and scrapped off some skin. It hurt like fury too. I didn't care that you aren't supposed to use DMSO on an open wound and doused that toe with DMSO like crazy for a few days. No pain and no swelling two days later. One thing that is excellent and helps accelerate healing and is anti-bacterial is sugar. I just read somewhere in the last few days to use powdered sugar mixed like a paste and cover with gauze and tape it down etc. It should be reapplied every day or so. You could probably use vasoline or a & d ointment to make a paste too, right? I was in an auto accident years ago and scrapped my ankle down to the bone (about a 4 " - 5 " square area on the outside). The hospital applied neosporene powder because the ointment would just slide off. It took a long, long time to truly heal up and return to a normal color. Wish I had known about the sugar back then.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I would NOT use DMSO on open wound, it's irritating enough... CS, Yes. I have found two great products from Savvy Herbals, they are salves and have have great healing herbs in the products... ________________________________ To: DimethylSulfoxide-DMSO Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 11:40 AM Subject: Re: DMSO application on wound Dianne's suggestion about colloidal silver is a good one.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 you'd have to play around as to what is best. Even a zinc cream like plain Desitin for diaper rash. Those type of creams are pretty good overall. DMSO can kill pathogens on its own, but not everything, so the zinc cd prove very healing. To use as medicinal rather than just a barrier cream, you dilute it anyway, so just a dab makes a pound. DMSO roll-ons come with the igredients mentioned seperately to my knowledge. Go look how the roll-ons are made and you'll get the idea. Straight aloe for burn-wounds has to be from fresh-cut leaf is the way I heard it. ... so w/ DMSO just an emollient for sensitive skin ?? Straight on the wrong person turns the skin a burnt-red for awhile. Stings like the dickens too. Dilute you can avoid most of this. We used to put DMSO on cotton balls mized w/ a bit of lugol's overnight for trick knees. Wrapp up and just go to sleep so it cd do its magic undisturbed. A few of us had to dilute the mix or live w/ a nice rash for a couple weeks. --tls RE: DMSO application on wound Do you mean an aloe vera that is specifically meant for wound application with something like the emu or glycerin added to it?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 DMSO is used to transport organs and stem cells so I can not fathom why it would be unwise to apply it to an open wound. We know that it repairs cell membranes and prevents cell death after trauma so for me it is absolutely the treatment of choice in ANY trauma situation, including spinal chord, closed head injury, burns, scrapes, bruises and so on. Table sugar mixed with Betadine Ointment was found to be superior to known topical antibiotics in human trials. See the American Farriers Journal for the original article. Mix to the consistency of runnny peanut butter, it thickens over night.
