DMSO - Dimethylsulphoxide

[Jacques]

Hi Gandalf and 3D Student,

I bought my DMSO from DMSO.net also and it did not come with a safety seal. Did your bottles come with safety seals?

Sorry but i do not remember it. :(

I have a question for SAO, Divided by Zero, Hildegarda, Lilou, Regulattor, Shane, Shijing, Kniall and Herondancer... Can you guys send me a PM with your real name and current city, that is, if you approve of having your testimonial with DMSO in this thread published in the DCM magazine. If you don't want to, no worries!

:)

Thank you!

To the Europeans on the Forum.

I just tried to order some DMSO from dmso.net to be sent to Denmark. I was able to fill out the order form and even though the shipping was about $ 15 I though it was worth it.

Unfortunately, this morning I received an email from Robert Brock from dmso.net saying that they are very sorry but they are unable to ship to Denmark. :(

I don't know if this is a Europe-wide issue but thought I'd put the info out there. Also, if someone knows of a place to buy DMSO within Europe, I'd be very happy to know, as I've been unable to find this myself. I asked the same question in another thread but there it was somewhat off-topic so I am hoping that this thread is better :).

Hi Thor.

If you want it in gel form, we have a brand new spare one we can send you for the price we got it for from e-bay as we live in Denmark (88kr). But maybe you want the spray form? If you want it, you can just PM us your adress.

Hi Thor.
Got up for a nature calls morning thingy and seen the wifes message here.. I dont think it is wise to send your address via a PM and would ask a moderator to delete a PM from Thor if one has been sent. For every ones safety I think. And just to say Ebay uk is worth checking if you want gel dmso.They may have liquid also , cant remember.

Right back to that dream

Hi the_hammer,

Thanks for the offer :) Also, it is good to see that there are other people from Denmark on the Forum.

It hadn't occurred to me to check eBay but when I did, there it was. I have now ordered the DMSO and am waiting for it to arrive.

Hi AWTF (and mods),

I appreciate your concern (especially at such an early hour :)) but I must admit I was a bit surprised. I recall reading that engaging in PMs should be undertaken at one's own risk as it might be used as a vehicle for predatory behavior.

Thanks also for the suggestion to check out eBay. I did indeed find the DMSO there so in this case it turned out not be relevant to use the offer from the_hammer. However, I would like to ask the mods if it would be to go against Forum recommendations to engage in such a transaction as suggested by the_hammer. Personally, I appreciated it and found it helpful, but maybe that is naive?

I hope you had refreshing dreams :).

Hi Thor
In the sleeping world a transaction as suggested would be perfectly normal , but in the process of awakening one realizes that what was once normal is no longer so. One must watch each decision one makes with more care , and as paranoid as it may seem to some , always expect attack.

Via sending a PM with ones address and contact details to some one that one does not really know can indeed lead to problems/danger , and so on.The Mods and elders of this forum I am sure have stories that they could relate which would bring the point home. If one is taking part in this forum for the right reasons then it becomes fairly obvious that dangers exist in such sending of PMs. This forum , I hope you will agree is not like anywhere else on the www. And that is because great care is taken in protecting as far as can be done the members in this forum.

I am pleased that you have found the DMSO that you were seeking , and maybe one day , when the time is right we folks who reside in Denmark will meet.

Hi AWTF,

Thanks for making it clear to me. It has only been about four months since I started delving into the material covered on this forum. I am really thrilled and frightened at the same time and although mentally I understand much of what is being discussed I must admit that I am not currently at a stage where it has all sunk in. I can see the dots but they have not connected internally. I am looking forward to that happening while at the same time worrying how much more alienated to the "normal" (sleeping) world including the people therein, I will become. This brings me to your second point about potentially meeting up if/when the time is right. I do find it difficult that the only thing that really interests me (The Work) is something that I can't talk to people about. It's difficult to become more and more alienated from my friends, family and wife who see my interests and actions as verging on bizarre. The opposite is also true as I find most "normal" behavior anesthetizing.

Well, that was a short display of the "feeling sorry for myself" program" and I'm sure it's a phase that all here go through but I'm sure looking forward to having a feeling of somewhat firmer ground under my feet :)

I dont want to hijack this thread , though I will respond to you here.apologies to all. It all probably wont sink in , in this lifetime. In creation , creativity , there is no final product , it is a continual ongoing process , always something to learn new , based upon the knowledge we gain along the way, or so I think presently. The fear you speak of is quite natural , the truth can be a shocking awakening from the "normal" we knew. If you grasp it there is no turning back. No point in trying to hide it will always be there , so once that is realized the only way is onward , knowledge really does /can protect.

I can see the dots but they have not connected internally. I am looking forward to that happening while at the same time worrying how much more alienated to the "normal" (sleeping) world including the people therein, I will become.

I totally understand and relate to what you are saying here , as many in this forum will. If you dont look at the knowledge as something "special" and just a gift which is a natural birthright , it is there if you want to know .Look at it this way. If a car mechanic lived in a world full of people like me then he would feel alienated with his knowledge of engines and the such , especially if he could not make the world full of people like me want to understand.
If that makes any sense? You wil just have to continue talking of other matters that I can understand and accept it.

Poor old Leonardo maybe felt like a right fruitloop when trying to discuss a machine that could fly and carry a man. Can you imagine what the guys in the old pub must have been thinking when he spoke of these things?

There is a Walter Raleigh sketch by Bob Newhart , where we hear explaining what tobacco is back to the folks in england. Worth a watch

This brings me to your second point about potentially meeting up if/when the time is right. I do find it difficult that the only thing that really interests me (The Work) is something that I can't talk to people about.

Ha! Yes it is frustrating is it not , ask most members here , they wil agree with you. Truth is a very serious matter , it literally IS a matter of life and death , look at the world around you and how it runs with mankind asleep and accepting the rule of the psychopaths , liars and so on.

It's difficult to become more and more alienated from my friends, family and wife who see my interests and actions as verging on bizarre. The opposite is also true as I find most "normal" behavior anesthetizing.

Who´s life/potential soul is it?

Well, that was a short display of the "feeling sorry for myself" program" and I'm sure it's a phase that all here go through but I'm sure looking forward to having a feeling of somewhat firmer ground under my feet :)

AWTF,

Thanks for the response with pertinent points and the Bob Newhart link :D - I'd never heard of him before but relevant and funny.

Apologies to all for a mini-hijack of the thread.

About two weeks ago I received some DMSO from Gandalf to try and see if it would help my ongoing muscle spasms in my neck and upper back.

Since I have a few herniated discs in both my neck and lower back, even the slightest inflammation in my spine seems to put pressure on the nerves, which in turn refer the pain along the nerve pathways.

A couple of months ago my neck got so bad I couldn't move it in any direction without experiencing excruciating pain in the neck that would occasionally extend down my forearms.

Acupuncture and massage helped bring things down considerably, but I have had continuous tension issues in my neck ever since.

As well, I have been having difficulty with pain in the front of my right shoulder. It seems related to the neck as it is worse when the neck is sore. But it can also be sore all on its own.

I really notice the pain now that I've been away from inflammatory foods for several months which resulted in a huge decrease in both my fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis and pain is no longer a constant for me.

Unfortunately, money has been so tight that I was unable to explore kinesio taping or other approaches that might have helped. Were it not for Gandalf offering to send me a bottle of DMSO, I would not have been able to try it either.

I poured the DMSO into a sterilized spray bottle and mixed with distilled water to a 50 percent diluted solution.

I sprayed it onto the tense side on my neck as well as my right shoulder.

After a minute I started getting significant itching but was able to ignore it until it subsided 30 minutes later. However, I was surprised that within a few minutes of application I developed a taste in my mouth similar to bitter asparagus, almost a rotting taste. Rather nasty. I read about this phenomena in this thread and elsewhere but until i experienced it firsthand, I had no real frame of reference. I found it a little disconcerting as I have never experienced anything affect me like that.

As well, my partner noticed how my body overall was smelling something akin to rotting vegetables. Definitely not a form of foreplay :)

I was even more surprised how the pain in my shoulder subsided within 30 minutes (around the time the itching ended) and I was able to sleep without any painkillers.

I had also done an experiment the other night. I had some nerve pain in my lower legs and sprayed the DMSO on the areas. Within 20 minutes the nerve pain had been reduced to an almost unoticable level. I don't know if it is coincidence and the pain would have gone away on its own, so I will have to be a little more scientific and consistent in my approach. Although my diet has reduced such episodes, I still get bouts of nerve pain in my legs, so there will be plenty of opportunity for further exploration. I may start spraying my lower back, where the pain originates as well.

Although the shoulder problem keeps returning and I will probably have to save up for kinesio taping (I noticed they now sell pre-cut shapes for specific areas like the shoulder), I will continue trying DMSO and reading about its affects on both inflammation and neuropathies.

Thanks,
Gonzo

Thank you Gonzo for the update.

Glad to read that DMSO seems to give you some pain relief.

Keep on using it and keep us informed. ;)

Is the kind of pre-cut shape you mention above like this? If so, or if you have another suggestion, send me the details and your address in a PM and I'll see if I can get some sent your way. Oh, and the DMSO smell can be a bit to deal with -- but I'm glad to hear it's been working for you too.

 

[Gonzo]

Yes, that's the one from SpiderTech. A couple of websites mentioned that SpiderTech is the only company currently making precut kinesio tape, although I thought I saw other ones a couple of months ago when I was looking for solutions. I also noticed more and more of the various kinesio tape manufacturers are putting up How-To information on their websites, much to the charging of all those in the healing arts that spent thousands of dollars on their product application training, I'm sure.

Thanks for the offer. I was asking for that product as a Christmas gift, so I might be covered. But I really appreciate your generosity.

Thanks,
Gonzo
