DMSO - Dimethylsulphoxide

[palestine]

i am currently reading hartmut fischer's book 'the dmso handbook' and would like to try now that my cast is off my wrist and arm. to do an initial test he recommends a 70per cent mix and if any prolonged allergic reaction, liver pains or unpleasant symptoms not to use dmso. these reactions seem extreme but would not using lesser per centage solutions be o.k. excuse my ignorance on this.

i realise the stiffness i have at the moment needs to be exercised to improve movement but hoped maybe dmso would lessen swelling and help the muscles stretch with maybe less pain. at the hospital 3 days ago they just took off the cast and gave me a booklet of exercises to do and to go back in 4 weeks. at 72 i've no idea if the 6 breaks have even started to fuse so i don't want to go full bore against the pain.

when the cast was taken off i expected some pain on the release but the pain was so severe it was just the same as the night i broke it. i was unable to speak for for the 1st 10 minutes. needless to say i'm in a pity me mode at the moment but don't want to do anything silly. i would really be grateful if anyone used to using this substance would give me some advice.

on another note it says the expiry date on my dmso is may 2026. does dmso really have an expiry date.

Sorry to hear about your pain. I am sure that you already exhausted many leads. I have a wrist which hurts a lot. The only thing that works is putting it under cold running water. It provides one minute of respite. That's nothing, but it creates the opportunity for something else than pain. At that exact moment, the pain is gone. It does not last long.

Just started taking DMSO for less than a week. I'm getting good results and definitely would like to continue however, a coworker pulled me aside last Friday to inform me of an asparagus smell coming off me. I don't plan to stop taking it though. I'm reading through the PDF from a Midwestern Doctor on DMSO. He mentions Chlorine Dioxide as an antidote to the smell as it inhibits the pathway of the chemical breakdown that results in the odor. Does anyone have experience with that? I also asked Grok what scents would best mask a garlic or asparagus like odor coming from the body. It came back with (Lemon, Bergamot, Grapefruit) or (Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Spearmint) I have a Eucalyptus roll-on being delivered today. (hopefully)

Does anyone have experience with that?

I read that chewing a bit of parsley is helpful. I have also done it and my wife vouches for, that it helps. Other things which you mentions may also be useful.

I mentioned before this patent where it is claimed that MSM is a good antidote for DMSO smell:

There is also this product that claims the same:

Drinking plenty of water also seems to help if you are not doing that already. Keep us posted!

Chlorine dioxide is MMS. Maybe it works to counteract the smell, but I personally wouldn't drink bleach. Looks like Midwestern Doctor hasn't looked into the MMS conspiracy.
