DMSO Cures: DMSO for Herpes and More!

hi,

I 'd be careful with DMSO when using typical skin care products which most of the time have ingredients one doesn't want in its system.

DMSO is a good carrier Gri Court, that is why you should be careful.

Ted or anyone I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on my situation. I have dmso but afraid to use it because of the titanium and platinum in my back.

Hello Serenity,

Did you ever get a response to your question re. DMSO.

I have come to this forum with the same question. My son has a metal "cage" in his neck after an accident in 2013 which has left him a quadraplegic. I am using DMSO again on his neck but had the same thought. Is it dangerous for him? Will the DMSO connect with the metal in his neck and leech into his system. Does anybody know? Please!

As to DMSO leaching metals from implants, I would say unlikely. I don't say this lightly!

I have a 4-link stent in my LAD heart artery.

It is a "25 year drug eluting" stent.

I use a half to a full tablespoon ORAL DMSO (50%-50% dmso/water) every few days or weeks "as needed" for health reasons. So does my fiancee for her many medical problems that had no success with anything else.

What you MUST DO is use alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg., at least twice a day, during AND AFTER using oral/topical high dose/injected DMSO for, I would suggest, a week minimum.

That is to help detox your blood from the use of DMSO and Lugol's iodine and all the bacteria/virises/fungus/pathogens that DMSO and Lugol's has destroyed. If you don't, you will feel like you got hit by a truck!

Alpha Lipoic acid "takes out the trash" of all these dead nasty creatures etc..

Do it like that and you will feel great.

All evidence based suggestions.

Oh, yes, the Lugol's iodine mix will kill all those pathogens that can cause you back pain and damage. I just told you how to fix it too late unless you had mechanical injuries.

No matter what the reason you had the work done, you have iodine deficiency and a compromised immune system unless you are dosing with Lugol's solution.

All CYSTS are caused by IODINE DEFICIENCY!

Look it up!

You've surgery and almost everybody has "low-grade infections" that are a HUGE, but unknown problem for the general population.

High dose vitamin D, at least a thousand iu of D3 PER 25 lbs. of body weight - MINIMUM and 10mg. (4 drops) Lugol's iodine 2% solution a day, works for most everyone I know to feel more mentally alert, focused, CALM, and inflammation SUPPRESSED/immune system modulated and ARMED.

The research is impressive.

From what I read online (Very limited info on that btw) that it should not matter much and is ok to use.

Metals are not a problem! You can use DMSO and you'll be glad you did!

Pickle (Boston, MA) --- if DMSO does not have an odour, it is because it only happens to some people, not all. I do not get it myself. It stings in the upper body because it has to be diluted especially if used in the upper body.

It can be ingested. Please see Dr. Jacob's website. He is thought to be the "father of DMSO". There is also a section on DMSO here on EC.

I hope this will give you new perspectives and all the best.

Namaste, Om

Pickle: Two items comes to mind to help your painful back and soreness condition. A once weekly hot bath for at least 1hr w/ 1/4 cup Baking Soda, 1/4 cup Epsom Salt, 1/4 cup Borax. About halfway into your bath, you can add the liquid DMSO which works for me very well as there is no burn.

Magnet Therapy directly over the injured vertebrae should help noticeably. One could wear a magnet belt over the area for several hrs per day or sleep on a magnet pad at night.

As for the MSM and Vit-C, if I am not mistaken, MSM is readily absorbable and the Vit-C is not, but taken together they compliment absorption and utilization. I have used both these substances separately in the past w/ limited results for a bone infection until I read a Walter Last article stating that the antibiotic power of this combination is many more times greater than either alone; and I can testify this is so as I have finally, as of only recently, made some progress in my condition. So, from this, it seems highly likely that you also have infection issues.

You may also consider Zapping with a Don Croft Zapper to kill any local infection in that L4. The infection hypothesis is further validated as what appears to be maybe also a Kidney infection as evidenced by the chronic low back pain. Remember, injury/pain/inflammation/infection are conspirators in their ministry of one's misery. Low sugar Cranberry Juice or simply Cranberry softgels should provide immediate relief for the low back pain.

Hello Pickle,

I can sympathize with your low back problem. I've had low back issues for many years. You report many years ago your L4 was diagnosed as ruptured. Quite serious but if truly ruptured you would be suffering even more than you are. I can see how MSM could benefit but here is my take on your description...much like what I've experienced.

Your L4 is significantly displaced; likely your pelvis is a half Inch out of line and twisted. You likely have an S curve in your whole back. Most folks who have an S curve also have some neck issues. If left uncorrected over the years most people will begin experiencing not only hip issues from the pelvis shift but ultimately knee problems too...since the WHOLE frame is out of alignment.

When I work on "frame" issues I approach as a unit problem. There can be exceptions to this general rule...point specific as opposed to a unit issue. Maybe in your case ONLY the L4 is the culprit...from some injury and the entirety: neck/shoulder rotation/ S curve compensating for the upper frame injury/ and then pelvis shift as also compensating and then knee issues.

That sequence can be in reversed order: A pelvis injury effecting the spine and then that misalignment effects ultimately the neck and shoulder. Headaches, shoulder rotation and forward posture, numbness of hands and aching back at S curve junctions result. And hip joint and knee problems also result.

Well, to help correct I do a lot of things, but in your case, Pickle, lets assume the problem is JUST...L4 but from your description, the pelvis sounds shifted also. Again, I say that is unlikely because of how long the issue has been present with you.

If me, I'd find a chiropractor that could get the pelvis rotated. L4 would almost certainly have resulted in pelvis shift. This results in muscle contraction in the legs, especially inner thigh and sharp hurts in deep low back.

The MSM and DMSO treatment can help with pain but in my opinion based on what I personally experience, and on seeing others with similar problems; you'll not really be helped on a fundamental level until the FRAME issue is addressed or if more localized, your low back and pelvis are not adjusted.

Not all chiropractors are alike ... some are really good with low back adjustment. Go to more than one until you find someone who seems to really know how to help. A good chiropractor is worth his weight in gold!

If, in your experience, you feel the problem is aching in the pelvis area, you know the situation is way beyond the L4 issue. If you are experiencing mid back pain; neck and shoulder pain; headaches in the back part of the head around the neck; and of course neck pain... then the problem is fully S curve related with the corresponding frame resulting maladjustments.

With my low back pelvis issue, I'd have my wife, (like the Japanese do) stand gently on my beltline, while I pushed gently up like a push up; repeating a few times. So stationary pressure would be applied to pelvis while I pushed up from the other direction. THIS IS A FORM OF PRESSURE POINT THERAPY.

Also, I use stretches that address the atrophy problem associated with low back misalignment.

Pain that results in "limping" is often a result of atrophy. And inner thigh tightening pain.

Well, not an easy answer to your situation. But as much of an advocate for nutritionals as I am, I think on certain spine problems/ shoulder/ neck and pelvis/knee pain; the issue is a FRAME matter.

I hope some of my suggestions (low back) might help.

Thanks so much for all this input. Trying to sort through it all. Thank you Om, TimH, and Dave for taking the time to reply!

Pickle,

All this advice sounds good and most of it will probably be helpful but please check out mega dosing vitamin C (Liposomal) instead of taking by a pill. Keep up the use of DMSO. I know it helps me when I hurt.

I have the same question, is it safe to use with metal titanium as long as is far from the metal? Thank you.

It's difficult to ascertain the quality of DMSO that you buy but I basically tell my clients to start with small doses, drops directly on the skin below the waist and diluted above. Depends on your skin type too, there is no rule of law for using DMSO and I have not heard of anyone overdosing from it. I use it for everything...from 50% cream for capillaries, scars and healing wounds to dropping 5 drops in each glass that I drink. I can apply to all parts of my body without any reactions but my husband will get a red itchy reaction so I use the 50/50 gel. Don't be afraid to experiment in dosage, but be careful if you blend it. For instance, I used to take 2 caps of Zaldiar (tramadol/acetometaphine), with 10 drops of DMSO in glass of water, I only need 1 cap...I suggest that you do your research before you start using it; many of us here can only give you information based on our own experiences but that doesn't mean it will work for you. Like any drug, each body has a different chemical composition, same goes for these natural substances.

I made my first batch of Cannabis Oil, ingest 1 rice size dosage and it knocked me out yet when I was younger I probably could do a lot more and not get affected. So, slowly experiment and for direction skin application, do a test first. In my 20 years of using DMSO I have never had a negative experience with it. Good luck!

DMSO The Miracle Drug of the NW by Dr Jacob Stanley. The godfather in DMSO for 49+ years. The, your, pain comes from the excess inflammation ; Like cannabus =CBD oil, [Pot] best of the 3 for brain and mental handicaps, and turmeric, all are very similar. They do not "fix" ailments as DR does with chemicals = poison. They "cure" them. = cancer, = diabetes, = brain, = severe burns, = improve mental health, = blood pressure, = gun shot tp brain or elsewhere. DMSO is illegal for Drs to use yet it can be found in ER for bullet wounds, or whatever, and start immediate shrinking of the brain to normal and quickly starts healing. Now!!!

Please, for your gain, research of these 3 Natural Meds. They will "cure" anyone = thing = Grandpa, children, dog, husband? maybe will benefit and save much Med $$.

To me, the DMSO serves a better service. Put on ya big toe and taste it in 6-8 seconds,,,,,,,,,, while carrying any Medicine [ or poison. wash hands first.] through the skin directly into the blood streams. MXM! It is good. must be! Its is DMSO Crystal because it is unlawful Dr to prescription, or be sold off the shelf as a human Med. Multi $$$$ milliom NFL = MLB, jocks, Athletes have used it for 50 +years and is used for animals. $$$ Million horses? Is it safe? Yaaahhhh. I have used DMSO since '79 for cuts, burns, pain, cancer, [ after 4 surgeries. No cancer for one year after Turmeric and Canaabus Oil, many things and have gave 50=60 bottles over the years. Keep some in car. And. If you use it, sponge it on. It will take the oil from the skin after several "rubbins" and skin may itch. I could go on for ever about DMSO. So much pain, cancer, burns, etc, name it= has been the true miracle meds. After all, 6000 years ago God knew we would need His help. But. Do your own research. You will enjoy it. jim

PS You can mix many meds with DMSO and put it under the tongue with eye dropper. Sponge on skin. Instantly it is in the blood stream. You can take one T=spoon each morning as Dr Jacobs did. [ He did not have one day of sickness in 40 years. Or mix with juices, milk, coffee, tea, water, etc, anything ; Safe liquid, food. j

JEMMIEC,,,,,,,, worked for Crown Z when they produced DMSO in Bogalusa from black liquor from the paper industry. I have most of his books and still buy from Dr Jacob's Lab. One thing I did learn is that the company has moved their production facilities to Tuscaloosa, Al and it is now made from Methane Gas.

About the only good thing I can say about Ted Kennedy is that he tried to get DMSO accepted by the medical field with his congressional hearings. No way that was going to happen..... too cheap and too effective as you post.

I congratulate you on a post that will get folks attention to the product.

======ORH======

Hi R.Henry,

Please, what is the difference between the dmso derived from the black liquor, and the one that is made from methane gas? Which one to use.

Best regards,

jamal

JAMAL,,,,,,, first, a chemical compound is a chemical compound regardless of how it produced. The caveat is purity from the the process and I have confidence in the Jacob Lab people. The other thing is that the only DMSO produced in the paper industry was at the Old Bogalusa mill and it is closed. So, I don't think you have an option here in the U.S. I don't know about the rest of the world.

Folks post on DMSO full time about penny annie ails. What some may not know is that this compound can be a life saver, but you will almost have go it on your own. Hulda Clark was run out of the U.S. and had to practice in Mexico until her death. She is idolized in Germany and they are going whole hog with her radical protocols. That is how much we fight anything new, novel, natural and cheap. That goes for Ozone and Cuba is the place to be for that. Can you believe it? Driving our '50s cars and ahead of us on the use of Medical Ozone. Kidding me ..... right?

For those at life's end, I suggest you read this article about the Ted Kennedy's senate hearings to learn how the solvent has save many patients that were told to get their papers in order. If one of these testimonies fit your situation ...... then go for it.

DMSO - The Persecuted Drug by Dr - ResearchGate
https://www.researchgate.net/file.PostFileLoader.html?id...assetKey...
The Persecuted Drug - The Story of DMSO (from which the title of this chapter ... testified at a hearing of Senator Edward Kennedy's sub-committee on health:

What our the FDA has done to this miracle solvent is criminal for certain. We use 21 century technology to determine the problem and 17 century science to address what is found.

I am learning that from the PEMF book that I am now reading. I have health issues that I dare not allow the Allopathic's get involved except to get me the test's that I need and keep score with. For that I use a Nurse Practitioner. I have have been to Mayo's twice for physicals, UAB and Scott White in Texas. They too put their britches on one leg at a time.

I have cancer in my blood, prostate and pancreas. It is monitored quarterly with a $85 DNA test. I use the integrative doctor for counsel, but I hoe my own row. I doubt that any Oncologist test would tell them that I have Stage l cancer. I am using my own immune system to address my cancer. Regardless, I choose not to go down the Allopathic trail, especially at my age.

My church has had me on their prayer list for several years and since I have not died, they took me off. Don't want to waste the Lord's time with someone who's treating themselves. Guess who I talk to about my problems? Yep, The Lord.

Jamal, I wish you well. =====ORH====

Let's not forget that distilled water should be use with DMSO as regular tap water even filtered contains fluoride, chlorine, chloramine and inorganic minerals that your body accumulates over time. Putting vitamin C in the water neutralizes the chlorine and chloramine, something to keep in mind when taking a bath with DMSO. Also essential oils can be mixed with DMSO.

I just purchased DMSO 99.99% Pharma solvent grade which says it is odor less from a company named 21st Century Chemical on Ebay. I have not tried it yet. I must admit I never have heard of odor less DMSO. The company has been registered on ebay since 2006.

From my experience it seems that the people who are unhealthy, and smokers especially, find the odor of DMSO offensive the most.

I had very sore muscles in my back recently from labour and I applied the DMSO gel by hand to my lower and upper back, then I put on by a roller cayenne extract after about 5 minutes. The results: The best heat pad in on the earth. It felt wonderful all day long. It was like an electric heat pad that I could walk around with all day.

DMSO comes from trees.

Can anyone recommend a source for medical grade DSMO?

Thanks, Andrew

I found mine at swansonvitamins.com

I've used DMSO for years; I'm 73 now. The best is from Dr. Jacob's lab. He researched it for 50 years an F now is 93 and healthy. Make sure to put it on clean skin as it's absorbed and takes other things with it. I take it in my orange juice and externally. It is today modern miracle like aspirin was a century ago. I'm a retired chemistry teacher.so I am aware of chemical uses. I've read every book I could find and watched videos on YouTube. My dog jerked her leash and me and caused me some terrible back and arm pain. I'm getting better using the DMSO directly on the pain areas. It gets rid of inflammation which causes lots of pain. It is absorbed by cells and repairs them if they are damaged including precancerous ones. It's faboulous! Every ambulance should have it.

I found my 99.9% pure DMSO in the animal treatment area of the local farm supply store. Ignore the part on the label that says that it is not for human consumption. That is to keep you-know-who happy. It is very reasonable in price there, also.

My husband doesn't smoke and doesn't use DMSO and when I do use the 70% gel topically, he says that the whole room stinks like sulphur (garlic, onion smell) although I can't even smell it in my own breath, he can. He says it's a romance killer. Because of that I skip going to the gym when on it.

HI U GRI,,,,,,,,,,, it is a fact that your breath will smell like garlic when you do DMSO. That is the reason they never did a double blind test on DMSO. That is an excuse not to give the compound credibility. Too cheap and too effective. Just like Cannabis oil.

ATS =======ORH========

Perhaps if your husband would use a little also he wouldn't smell it on you. Like eating an onion, if both people eat a little neither smells it.

DMSO doesn't have an odor really....if you put it through your fingers it's slippery like an oil but not oily. I have taken up to 20 drops of DMSO per day and never experienced any negative reactions; but for someone else it might cause an intense detox reaction. DMSO doesn't have an odor though it has been reported that some people may smell like garlic from using it.

I got the 99.9% pure pharmaceutical grade on Amazon. It is very inexpensive for a big glass bottle.

I found my 99.9% pharmaceutical grade DMSO on Amazon.com. Then I just bought the distilled water from my local grocer. Hope this helps. I also highly recommend the book "DMSO Nature's Healer", by Dr. Morton Walker, which I also found at Amazon.com.

Gri Hola,

I don't know whether you check this site, notice your post is from 2016. Do you apply the gel with your hand, or what if I may ask do you use? Just trying to be careful with the application of DMSO, since it has a strong capability as a delivery system if one uses it topically on the skin.

Can I use a metal spoon to take some out of the container? Mostly what I have read, is that one should use a cotton, or q-tip.

Thank you,

Margeaux

I would NOT use a q-tip or cotton to apply DMSO as most cotton (if not organic) is loaded with pesticides!

Because DMSO carries substances into your skin you have to be careful about what you apply it with. I would never use a plastic roller as I do not want the chemicals from the plastic in my system. I also would not use my hands to apply it because if there is any DMSO left on your hands even after washing, then everything you handle with your hands all day long will be absorbed as well. I use a small glass bottle or jar to apply it! I just put a small amount on the outside of the jar and use the jar to rub it into my skin. Then I wash the outside of the jar with a pure soap and water and reuse it for next time. I am trying to think of something better that is made of glass such as a glass pestle or something.

Jam,

Thanks so much for the reply about what to use to apply the DMSO. I hadn't thought about the cotton having pesticides, interesting, and you're right!

Now using a small glass jar is quite a unique idea. I'm thinking that the glass jar would probably have to be kind of small, so one could have more control of it when applying the gel to the skin? The idea of a glass pestle is great. I'm going to look for one next time I'm in a store that has higher end kitchen acoutrements, I know I've seen these somewhere. I was thinking of a glass stir, like one of those to stir up a drink.

Thanks great ideas!

Margeaux

Great call Jam, who would have thunk it, you did.

I have done tons of research and just completed reading three books on the DMSO subject.

99.9% is sold in feed stores for use on animals, and 99.995% is sold as pharmacy grade - difference is that the purer grade has been sent through an additional charcoal filtering to remove any tiny contaminates that may remain after processing. Amazon sells the purest 99.995 grade very reasonable.

One of the most recommended ways to apply is with a natural bristle paint brush, or organic cotton balls. Never use water to mix with unless it is distilled water, otherwise what ever may be in the water will be also pulled into your skin; anything you mix with DMSO will be pulled into the skin and below. It is a very safe product if you use properly and very beneficial to many aches and pains.

Don't cover the application if you use it anywhere above the waist and dilute it further than any mixture you use below the waist. You may cover it if used below the waste but use clean white cotton material or towels so that the dye from the material is not also sucked through you skin. An application can be wiped off after 30 minutes as that is the longest it takes to absorb the benefits.

Always make sure your skin in very clean and dry before using. Never rub it on with your hand - it can cause skin irritation in that spot and if left on the palms of your hands, will also look like they've been soaked in water for hours. The skin will most likely turn a reddish color for a short period of time as the circulation is stepped up but will go away very soon. Slight itching may happen but do not itch it. It will stop soon. Not all experience these side affects but a lot do.

Hope this was helpful to those with questions.

First I would like to recommend the book DMSO: Nature's Healer. It is a must read for anyone wanting to learn more or use DMSO. Second the main side effect of DMSO is a oyster/fish like smell on the breath, within seconds of application. There is extreme importance in thoroughly cleaning the area where DMSO will be used, prior to use. DMSO is a solvent, therefore, whatever comes into contact with it will be absorbed into the skin very rapidly. So clean, clean, clean, then use. From my experience, DMSO can be mixed with many things, as it enhances absorption and transportation into the body. I personally use it with Arnica oil. Application is called "painting". Simply take the DMSO or mixture and apply in strokes, with a cotton tipped applicator. Good luck and feel free to email with any other questions.

To apply DMSO, I use various kinds of brushes I can buy very cheaply. Just dip the brush, and apply. Great to get at hard to reach places, and it doesn't get on your hands so much. Leo

Hi, I would like to ask how often can I apply DMSO in the affected area ( I have my arm swelling from gout) a day! Im quite afraid may overdo it, thanks

I have thought about using those cheap "chip brushes" from the paint store to apply DMSO but I am not certain what chemical are on those even if they are brand new. I have several here but am hesitant to use them for that purpose.

CRYSTAL,,,,,,,,, yep, DMSO is a miracle compound that I learned of first hand when I worked for CZ back in the 60's. At that time it was made in the CZ Bogalusa, La. paper mill. The Super was a friend of mine and related lots of stories about the employees that worked in that area. None ever had a cold or flu. Also, he related how DMSO cured steam burns to his wrists as you say in your post. Like the Good Book says, He has provided all you need.

======ORH=====

Hi Robert,

How you doing?

I was reading your post about DMSO and burns. That's quite amazing! I bought some recently, and quite honestly was somewhat reluctant to use on my BCC. I want to know more about usage, and dosage for various ailments. Could you or anyone tell me, since I keep reading how careful one must be what to use to apply it topically to skin. Should I use a cotton, q-tip to take some out of the jar?

The one I bought is 70%, a gel. My husband is currently really suffering from a bad neck pain he's had over a week now. I'm thinking that I could use about half a teaspoon of the gel, dilute it with distilled water. Then I would use a cotton/q-tip to apply to neck area and just a bit beyond-upper back, allow it to dry. Then, I would apply some aloe vera gel, just in case to prevent the sting. Wondering whether one can even apply it w/one of those wooden stirs for coffee? Of course I know I can use the fingers, but just trying to be careful, because of the delivery stuff.

I'm going to the store in awhile, and I intend to buy some beets. They're a good blood cleanser, so I can circumvent some of the toxins being released probably after the DMSO application.

Thanks so much for this very valuable information, I just love Earth Clinic!

Much Love & Light,

Margeaux

Nope, not Canada. I was burned second degree on most of my right thigh. ER did not use DMSO.

This comment is not about a burn persay, but I do want to second the healing speed of a cut on my finger just last week. Some how or another I had two shallow slices in my pointer finger on the pad of it and I put on a dab of DMSO and then put a loose bandaide on it. It healed so fast I was amazed. I seem to recall about 48 hours later the wound was healed. I have a patch of fresh new skin on my finger tip where the slices were. I keep finding new uses for this DMSO. But I don't know what you should do, I only know what I do.

Leo,

Tested 1.0 ounce Papain dissolved into 4 ounce of DMSO gel (90%) applied topically over the spine.

Papain mix applies very sticky; must let it dry before you put on shirt, or it will glue together.

More over, the mix liquifies to a amber goo after two days. I will dispose the prepared mix, and just make 'just enough' mix for daily use. It smells bad when the mix ages.

I may recommend using a salt shaker and apply papain powder directly to DMSO applied to spinal axis.

Results after three days is still unknown. No issues, positive or negative; none is expected until about two weeks daily application.

Something to consider: If your knees have been damaged, over worn, DMSO may be a painkiller which is awesome, but you may need either shark cartilage or chicken cartilage with absorbable calcium to repair the damage, NOT carbonate calcium. We must treat the underlying problem. I'm not sure DMSO repairs the cartilage, just relieves the pain, correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

Juiceman over n out

Dmso works great when paired with coconut oil which is a natural antibiotic

Hi Susan... The preferred method of using aloe vera with any DMSO topical protocol is to apply the DMSO protocol first, let it be absorbed into the skin and the skin is dry, then apply the aloe oil on the skin afterwards. The aloe vera helps to rehydrate the skin and prevents skin irritation which can sometimes arise with DMSO use. I have bought a DMSO solution that also contains aloe vera - it's all I can get in the Philippines -- this is the other way of doing it. But I still think that the first method I described is better.

If you're using DMSO on its own, say, to help against an injury or arthritis then you will be using it on the same spot over and over again -- snd this is where sloe vera is quite useful -- it will help to prevent skin irritation. But if you are just using DMSO as an internal delivery mechanism for a nutrient like lugols iodine, then you should try and use the protocol in different areas of the body -- thus also reducing the possibility of skin irritations.

Hi Bill from San Fernando, Philippines, where did you find your DMSO?

I have recently bought Aloe Vera juice and put it with DMSO I really haven't noticed that it helps do much of anything but it hasn't hurt anything either. Even if it is just an innert substance it still can play a role in my tinctures. Aloe vera juice is a way to cut the DMSO to a lesser strength and for all I know it may help something. So I am using Aloe Vera Juice in my blends now for topical application. It may help sooth the skin but I don't see that it stops the irritation when used with DMSO cut with it. My experiments with DMSO and Aloe Vera juice have been Straight DMSO with 30% Aloe; 40% and 50 % blends and I don't find any reduction in irritation. When I add this to the Cayenne extract and make a blend of that. I find no irritation at all but I get the side affect of warmth where the blend is applied and it feel quite good. So a bottle filled with 50% Cayenne extract and 25 % DMSO and 25% Aloe Vera juice and a tiny spot of glycerin has a really good affect, mild. I heated it up today by applying straight cayenne extract on top of the blend and it draws moisture and really heats up nicely on the skin. In summary, I can't tell what Aloe Vera does but I like what I read about it and it is a God made plant it is a leaf. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations from Revelation chapter twenty two.

Right on Man from America: The joint formula I use says right on the tube that the aloe vera base carries the herbal extracts into the joint. Like you I add cayenne for heat. Works great all the time.

Thanks Mike, I don't know if there is a better "heat pad" than cayenne extract. I love the stuff.

aloe is dead in any form but from a live leaf

I made a bottle of cayenne extract with coconut oil and a spot of kosher glycerin and I put it on the shelf. I picked it up yesterday off the shelf and have not yet used it. It is too late to try it today because I have already applied a blend I made yesterday and I don't want to confuse the experiment. I like yesterday's blend which is DMSO, glycerine, Aloe Vera juice and homemade cayenne extract in alcohol. So far I am liking the blend. It is mild, yet still generates a heat pad affect. I may try this type of blend with Extract of Bhut Jolokia extract. It will be very hot I am certain but for a bad flare up it would probably be perfect for the relief. Thank you, and I am going back to work.

Someone posted this in an Amazon review but I am having difficulty finding out much more about it and haven't tried it. Is it referring to 35% H2O2?

1 oz food-grade hydrogen peroxide, 7 oz organic, whole-leaf aloe vera gel, 1 oz DMSO mixed together in a spray bottle and applied topically after showering
