Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sandy, There is a product that helps bring instant relief to painful areas, but which has been controversial. My parents have used this product; I have not. It is called DMSO, or Dimethyl Sulfoxide, and is in certain topical creams. Here is a link for Soothanol X2: http://www.soothanol.com/ You might want to check into it and see if this is something you want to try. There is a doctor in Atlanta, Dr. Edelson, who understands silicone toxicity, and he has used this on his patients. You can read about DMSO and him here: http://www.digitalnaturopath.com/treat/T214785.html DMSO has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70% DMSO, 30% water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers. Several clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness, although in one trial no benefit was found. Relief is reported to be almost immediate, lasting up to 6 hours. When administration ceases, so do the analgesic effects of the compound. Chronic pain patients often have to apply the substance for 6 weeks before a change occurs, but many report relief to a degree they had not been able to obtain from any other source. DMSO also reduces inflammation by several mechanisms. It is an antioxidant - a scavenger of the free radicals that gather at the site of injury. DMSO also stabilizes membranes and slows or stops leakage from injured cells and is recommended for many inflammatory conditions not caused by infection or tumor. Edelson, MD, F.A.A.F.P., F.A.A.E.M., who practices medicine at the Environmental and Preventive Health Center of Atlanta, has used DMSO extensively for 4 years. "We use it intravenously as well as locally", he says. "We use it for all sorts of inflammatory conditions, from people with rheumatoid arthritis to people with chronic low back inflammatory-type symptoms, silicon immune toxicity syndromes and any kind of autoimmune process."DMSO was the first NSAID discovered since aspirin. Some believe it was that discovery that spurred pharmaceutical companies on to the development on other varieties of NSAIDs. Pharmaceutical companies were thinking that if DMSO can have anti-inflammatory activity, so can other compounds, which are patentable. It is ironic that DMSO is less toxic and has fewer side-effects than any of them.Some products contain DMSO as part of their formualtion. One such OTC topical product is called Soothanol X2.
