i have researched this this chemical after a friend tried to get me to use it. anyone who has read the MSDS or reports done by doctors and chemists would know this stuff is BAD. your skin is meant to keep things out of your body, this stuff makes your skin...like its not even there. toxins can pour into your body. say you wash your hands with regular hand soap before use, do you know whats in the average hand soap? chemicals that may be ok to have on the outside of your body, but if they go right into you they are carcinogens. my friend that tried to get me to use it, hes used it for years, and he wonders why he is dying from lymphoma. i have no doubt this stuff is what caused it by letting in toxins for years.

I have never used DMSO, but my grandmother used it for years. Just be sure your skin is very clean before using. No only will DMSO pull lotion through your skin but any thing else sitting on your skin.

Thanks John for the help as to where to go to find the DMSO. I use the Stopain roll on and am impressed with that but to spray it on would be alot more convenient. Will look up Dr. Jacobs info too. Thanks again!! Diane

I agree with Bob I use DMSO and mix it with stopain just spray on almost immediate releive. Lasts for hours. I have used DMSO for 30 years with no problem it is a natural product made from tree bulk.Many Pro Sports teams use it.Go on line to Dr. Jacobs he has done years of study on DMSO. You can get DMSO at www.web vitiams.com get the 4oz bottle put 2oz in with the stopain which comes in a spray bottle and that is it.If you cannot get stopain at Walgreens go to www.I herb.com they have.

I came across a fantastic device for pain relief. I have never experienced side effects. It's a form of electro-therapy. All my friends and family have had a go with it for all their aches and pains and they all think it's great too, so I'm happy to recommend it to you. www.enart.co.uk
Good luck!

I've been using DMSO for years, because it is the only thing that takes away my pain. I have chronic tendonitis in my thumb, wrist and elbow that comes and goes. I've tried physical therapy to no avail, a TENS unit worked at one time but not long term. I mix DMSO with an arthristis pain relief spray called Stopain bought at Walgreens. The only time I have any skin irritations is when it is not diluted enough. I have seen no side effects from using this, other than immediate pain relief. I recommend this to everyone I know that lives with pain. My doctor knows about this and is fine with me using it.

I have just been told by my GP to stop using DMSO as the side effects are too bad. She has told me to use Elmore Oil which is 100% natural and won't cause me problems. I've looked on the site and read the testimonials and I've ordered a bottle as it gives a 14 day money back guarantee if not happy. Here is the testimonials page http://www.elmoreoil.co.uk/testimonials.html

Thank you

James
