I wouldnt waste your time with it b/c the tranferred amount of whatever your trying to get to pass through your skin is very minimal.

I'm only familiar with it as a treatment for endometriosis. Some old Gyn's use it transvaginally for that. It's expensive, insurance doesn't pay for it, and it doesn't work.

If you do decide to use it for anything, you'll need to get a truck if you have a family...because they will make you ride in the back.

If you have any friends, be prepared to lose them. Yeah, you'll smell that bad.

Some details of DMSO:

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in use as a commercial solvent since 1953. DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin.

DMSO has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70 percent DMSO, 30 percent water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers. Several clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness. Burns, cuts, and sprains have been treated with DMSO. Relief is reported to be almost immediate, lasting up to 6 hours. A number of sports teams and Olympic athletes have used DMSO, although some have since moved on to other treatment modalities. When administration ceases, so do the effects of the drug.

DMSO reduces inflammation by several mechanisms. It is an antioxidant, a scavenger of the free radicals that gather at the site of injury.

As for side effects, Occasionally, a patient will develop a headache from it, when used intravenously--and it is dose related. If you give a large dose, you will get a headache. The odor is a problem. That is basically the only problem.

DMSO as long been used to promote healing. People who have it on hand often use it for minor cuts and burns and report that recovery is speedy.

DMSO has been employed with human patients suffering severe head trauma, initially those whose intracranial pressure remained high despite the administration of mannitol, steroids, and barbiturates. DMSO lowers intracranial pressure faster and more effectively than any other drug. DMSO also stabilizes blood pressure, improves respiration, and increases urine output by five times and increases blood flow through the spinal cord to areas of injury. In humans, as well as animals, it has proven the first drug to significantly lower intracranial pressure, the number one problem with severe head trauma.
