DMSO - Dimethylsulphoxide

[Laura]

Yeah, it seems that eating carbs is one of the causes of stones in the gallbladder, and also messes up the pancreas. Since both of them share a duct, it's kind of hard to tell which it is.

One thing I learned about it is that, with a condition like this, you can't be just "pretty good" on the diet, you have to be almost fanatical for awhile. The main thing is to just let the pancreas sleep and that means don't eat anything that causes an insulin surge ever.

Eating plenty of meat and fat exercises the liver and gall bladder and helps them to detox the body. Have you read all of the Life Without Bread thread?

Thanks Laura, great advice!
I have read a lot of the thread but will review again.
I still eat plenty of salads, no bread, no rice, no corn or any grains for that matter, that's what I meant by "pretty good". I'm possibly not getting enough fat, I will definitely review again.
I read on another forum where a guy said he just stayed on a high fat diet until all the stones expelled.


thanks again. :D

I learned yesterday that acetone, one of the ketones, has the chemical name of "dimethyl ketone". This made me think of DMSO, "dimethyl sulphoxide" and wonder what the relationship was.

Wikipedia on Acetone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

Wikipedia on DMSO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_sulfoxide

Both are solvents, and according to the Wiki article on solvents, a few other chemicals ending with the word "ketone" are solvents as well, although it doesn't appear these are the same chemicals as the ketone bodies used for energy, just related compounds:

Apparently acetone and DMSO are only different by one atom: In acetone, (CH3)2CO, the sulfur atom in DMSO, (CH3)2SO, is replaced by a carbon atom. Interesting, no?

Apologies if this has been pointed out before.

That is interesting HowToBe. Thanks for posting it. I'm not sure what the implications of this may be, but good to know. I've had such good luck with DMSO on plenty of ailments, I never even looked into its chemical composition.

Me too. I think it is just amazing stuff. I would never leave home without it!

Recently, my son was prescribed antibiotics for an abcessed tooth. He can't take the darn things because of his IBS. So instead, he discussed it with the doctor who suggested he crush the tablets and make a solution to hold in his mouth. He did that, and used DMSO in the solution which helped the antibiotic penetrate.

When I get stiff from overdoing, I use arnica gel on my back followed by DMSO cream and it works like a charm.

Thanks Laura - I'll try both of those with my mother. She went to the dentist with tooth pain and he suggested Keflex Anti-B to see if it is a sinus infection causing the pain (tooth looks fine). Also, about a month ago she fell in the kitchen and now has vertebrae-related nerve pain running all the way down to the feet (osteoporosis). 50-70% dmso did not help much so I'll add the arnica.

I received my DMSO today. You guys didn't lied about the smell ! I planned to use it tomorrow morning, unfortunately I didn't find distillated water in my area. This will wait for a little longer.

Well I procrastinated long enough about ordering DMSO gel after years of hearing about it on the forum.

Amazon will not deliver it to Finland though. So I got some on ebay from Florida finally.

It came a bit later than I wanted: 2 weeks after I got an all too solid kick to my left back in Krav Maga that got intensely painful, and got even excruciating after I slept on a poor mattress one night. However this DMSO took the pain and inflammation away like expected. I used it once or twice on my left leg too that had a deep pain from another solid kick. That leg no longer bothers me anymore at all. I am now trying it on a toe fungus too and we will see how that goes.

It made my skin itch for a while after application and I got garlic taste in mouth for a short time, but all that is expected.

Note I was not able to get the 70% with Aloe Vera that I wanted, as that should have been reasonable mixture IMO, and ended up with 90% gel which is probably too strong. I may decide to dilute it too, in the future. For now I just used it as it is.

What I did for the toenail fungus was to put the DMSO on a bit of cotton, put it on the toenail, and then I put the finger of a latex glove over my toe and kept it there overnight. I had some weird ridges and stuff on my fingernails and I dipped my finger tips into pure DMSO in a shot glass and kept each one there for about 2 minutes. Boy, did it make a change in the appearance of the nails, eliminating the ridges, flakiness and splitting! But you have to repeat it every 3 or 4 months.

There's nothing that I know of better for lower back pain than DMSO. It's miraculous.

I have a question regarding DMSO. My 70+ year old father having some issues with body aches, neck pains and life long issues with piles etc. I thought of sending some DMSO cream ( orange aloe bottle ) to him and to my siblings. but their food is full of gluten and casein and there is nothing I can do to change it. Is it safe for them to use DMSO cream ?.

 

[Divide by Zero]

Seek10, I have given DMSO to a friend's mother who has rheumatoid arthritis and it has helped her a lot.

She eats a lot of gluten and dairy too, probably the original cause of the arthritis.

Thank you Divide by Zero . I heard some concerns of too much detoxing with DMSO when people are not ready.

That's usually if they take it internally.

I came across this forum, and coincidentally this topic, while searching for information related to DMSO & plastics. I'm a graduate student in biochemistry and work quite frequently with DMSO both as a reaction solvent and as a means for delivering compounds into assays.

I haven't read the whole thread, so this may have already been addressed, but I can confirm that DMSO will extract compounds from plastics, even when as low as 5% in water. Please be cautious if your DMSO comes in a plastic container. Also be sure that you're receiving it from a reputable source; the compound itself is not hazardous but, as mentioned in the initial post, it will carry anything dissolved in it into your bloodstream.

If your DMSO has an unpleasant order be cautious in using it. The only instance when I've observed this is when the compound has broken down because of heating or improper storage. Pure DMSO should only have the faintest scent, and it's very similar to garlic in odor.

If you have chemistry related questions, please feel free to drop me a message. All the best.
