I like to use it straight and not watered down. I use a thin layer of Castor Oil first as it is the only oil viscous enough to protect the skin. I started with 7 drops on each side, 2x per day. DMSO actually heals on a molecular level, so I needed less and less as time went on.
A few weeks ago I was telling a friend about what DMSO did for me, and suddenly realized I had not put any DMSO on my back in 2 months! So from now on, I will just apply a "maintenance dose" 1x a month to keep things good. So, know how much you started with and be prepared to cycle down by either using fewer drops per treatment or skipping days, etc. It's not like a big Harma med where you have to take it forever and usually need more to get the same result, DMSO is the opposite!!
Happy healing, everybody!

What brand and concentration of DMSO are you using? Only externally or internally as well?
Thank you.

I buy ANY kind of DMSO. They all work. If my problem is serious, like when I developed Deep Vein Thrombosis after cracking a shin bone, I do indeed drink it internally. It tastes terrible but it works faster this way. I also rubbed many drops on my whole leg for 2 days and I was 90% back to normal and all the way back on the 3rd. I hope this helps!I order my DMSO online, for whoever has it on sale, so a different brand every time, and it has never ever let down. As long as you get it, you're better off.
Whenever I experience mild stinging on say, a knee or my back, then I back off on my drops-dose or the frequency of the treatments. It's my body's way of saying "I'm doing better now, I didn't need that much", so I listen.
I only buy the 99% Pharma or Food Grade stuff. I don't buy the stuff with aloe gel in it as aloe needs alot of preservatives to keep from turning brown, and I don't want them running thru the cells of me. When I order 99% pure, I am in control of diluting it as well as with what.
Best of luck!

KATZIE, ORH here, and you are putting out some bad stuff and I'll tell you why. DMSO is one of the most powerful solvents there is. Like all manufactured products some have better quality and some even have contaminants as you know. Any contaminant in DMSO therefore is taken deep into your body. That is the reason you dang sure wash your hands before using DMSO because that will also enter your body. I cringe when folks get into turf that they have no clue. Your remarks can cause others grief. I speak plain, but you needed a talking to. 99 % pure is not 100% pure, so what is the 1%?====ORH====

I'm looking for food grade DMSO. Where do you buy yours from?
Replied By Selena (Toronto, Canada) on 06/10/2021
Hi!
I am not Katzie, but I live in Toronto too. I could not find it here, so I ordered mine from www.luckyvitamin.com.

I order mine by the gallon from The DMSO Store in Florida. I prefer their large glass gallon jars. While on vacay in Mexico, I have ordered it from Amazon and MercadoLibre before too.

I am in UK, I buy it off Ebay. It comes from Poland, 99.95% food grade I am sure it is. Been using it for a year or so. It works, sorted sore, teeth, and other aches and pains. No side effects, but it can be a bit stingy or mild burning sensation, that last 10 mins or so. Using Castor Oil first helps this. I aslo take it internally as well.

Hi Katzie -There is a Canadian website where I get mine (they also sell glass gallon jugs) and it's 99.995% pure. They are based in Ottawa, Ontario.
I don't use that much (yet) so I've been purchasing 16-ounce bottles. It's lasting me a long time.
Cheers,
Tessa
