Asthma
In case you don't get the answer to your question, I have another idea for you to consider for the asthma, Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract (GSPE). In animal models of asthma, GSPE has shown the ability to to reduce airway inflammation through its potent antioxidant effects as well as its anti inflammatory effects.
Here is a link to a typical animal study utilizing GSPE for asthma :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22836658/
Here are two relevant quotes from the study :
' GSPE effectively suppressed inflammation in both acute and chronic mouse models of asthma, suggesting a potential role of GSPE as a therapeutic agent for asthma. '
' Compared to untreated asthmatic mice, mice treated with GSPE showed significantly reduced AHR (airway hyperresponsiveness), decreased inflammatory cells in the BAL fluid, reduced lung inflammation, and decreased IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and eotaxin-1 expression in both acute and chronic asthma models. Moreover, airway subepithelial fibrosis was reduced in the lung tissue of GSPE-treated chronic asthmatic mice compared to untreated asthmatic mice. Reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio was increased after GSPE treatment in acute asthmatic lung tissue. '
Here is a link to another typical animal model study of asthma and GSPE :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0968432812001370?via=ihub
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' Natural plant products offer promising alternatives for the development of effective and safe treatments. Grape seed extract (GSE) is one such phytochemical supplement that has been shown to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of GSE to suppress lung parenchyma pathology and inflammation in ovalbumin-induced murine asthma model. Ovalbumin exposure was associated with many pathological and morphometric alterations in the lungs of asthmatic mice. The alterations involved alveolar size reduction, alveolar wall thickening, cellular infiltration and blood capillary congestion, as well as significant increase in the number of type II pneumocytes and lamellar bodies. However, GSE significantly ameliorated of the pathological changes of ovalbumin-induced asthma. The results support the possibility of GSE as an effective, safe anti-inflammatory dietary supplement to attenuate the pathogenicity of asthma. '
When you look at multiple studies of GSPE as it relates to the lungs and the multiple methods of action of GSPE in the lungs, it becomes clear that GSPE should also be beneficial for people with COPD! The following human study using GSPE in current and former smokers tends to confirm that GSPE should also be quite useful for COPD :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11641731/
Here are some relevant quotes from the human study :
' Grape seed procyanidin extract (GSE) is widely used to promote cardiovascular health and has purported anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation in the lungs caused by environmental toxins such as tobacco smoking plays a pivotal role in lung cancer development. '
' Furthermore, post-LP-treatment BAL fluids significantly reduced migration/invasion of various human lung neoplastic cells in vitro. Our findings support the anti-inflammatory effects of GSE/LP in the lung microenvironment and its potential utility for reducing cancerizing forces, as well as driving forces for other common respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, in the lungs of heavy former and active smokers. '
Another point of consideration with COPD is lung fibrosis or pulmonary fibrosis, which is a scarring of the lung tissue that can sometimes appear alongside of COPD or asthma. This fibrosis results in lungs that can no longer function properly or optimally because of all of the scar tissue. The following animal study suggests that GSPE may be beneficial for pulmonary fibrosis :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10510488/
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' In rats, oral administration of N-succinyl chitosan-coated liposomes containing grape seed extract at the 400 mg/kg dose ameliorates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. '
When you combine the above information and then include the fact that GSPE not only has a good safety profile, but also has potential benefit in other health issues, it seems like it is worthy of your consideration as part of a treatment plan for asthma/COPD. You can do more, but GSPE is a great starting point. I use the following product at the suggested label dosing of 1200 mg/day for general health :
WARNING
You will absolutely have to get your doctor's approval and supervision in order to make sure that GSPE will be safe for you to take and also be compatible with all other medications you may be taking!

Do you diffuse with DMSO? I want to see what it might draw out of cayenne but haven't gotten around to that. Cayenne and castor oil seem to have some sort of electrical activity to them that I don't think survives the process of a tincture whereas cayenne doesn't seem at all affected as a tea, which is strange...with the amount of actual heat used to make tea...but I can't actually be sure of that. DMSO seems to have an electrical aspect to it as well but I don't think it's the same. Cayenne and castor oil seem alike but DMSO seems..."deeper" or...something like that. Even to the point of incompatibility with a lot of things. Like MMS, which seems to be on the other, high side of what seems like a scale and also not very compatible with much...I don't know...

Strangely, men seem more susceptible to a fear of death. I suspect, due to a life of pumping testosterone, creating instances of not always "doing the right thing" and the judgement angle.
I'm glad to know that a woman took it as intended. It was interesting and a hoot but wasn't actually a "big deal". Which was sort of...I don't want to say "disappointing" but I would have thought it would have been more...exciting...I guess. Anyway...lol - I was young and an explorer and so...everything was exciting.
And, you're welcome.
DMSO Side Effects
One morning, I added a lot more of the DMSO by mistake (maybe a teaspoon or more?), but since it was external, I didn't think it mattered. I then took guaifenisin (mucinex), and had all of the reactions of dosing too high on it. Thankfully, it wasn't timed release, but the effects still took about 4 hours to wear off, so mostly annoying, and guafinesin isn't toxic. It seemed the only difference that day was the amount of DMSO. I tend to be sensitive, and maybe it was because everything was taken closer together, but DMSO is pretty powerful.

DMSO Smell Issues
Secondly: Years ago I was using DMSO in an exterior manner and not really all that much but using daily. My friend and co-worker asked me if I was using it. I said Yes, she said that I stunk to high heavens and she recognized the smell because her husband used to soak his feet in it daily. I could not smell it at all and I have a really good smeller.
Is there an aromatic oil that will not be offensive after applying with the DMSO that anyone has used?
Love is....

I believe it's helping! So for your foot, soak and wash really thoroughly, let it sink in and dry on your skin for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off keeping in mind that if you use soap to wash it off, it could possibly take the soap through your skin...? I'm not sure if that's over-cautious, but better safe than sorry! Then use a white sock to be safe, I've read it can take clothing dyes right through the skin as well...
But I have been rinsing and putting my hand into a black thumb brace to keep it from bending and have had no issues...Good Luck!

DMSO + Lugol's Iodine

After a detoxing bath filled with epsom salts and borax, I mixed some DSMO cream I had with iodine and applied it to my lower back, and then kind of smeared more iodine on my chest. It couldn't had been more than 3 droppers full of 2% lugols and within about 5 minutes I became aware of a slight pain which I realized was my thyroid. It kind of scared me, it didnt really hurt, it was just that I was very aware of it, and had never felt it before. Anyone else experience something like this? I know DSMO acts as a carrier and allows things to be absorbed, the whole blood brain barrier thing..?

Also, I have not dared to take this internally but I guess a lot of you do. I will have to read more about it.
I have enjoyed reading so many of your posts. I also read that DMSO should not be used daily but some of you have used it daily, and internally, for decades. And there you are: alive!

However, I have also recently found a website where the price of DMSO is much cheaper:
DMSO Combinations
It seems as if I have seen it said that you can't mix DMSO with other things ahead of time and must mix right before using. Is that correct? I was wanting to try DMSO and Colloidal Silver in a spray bottle for bug bites.
I appreciate your opinions. Thank you.

At first your tick idea sounded good, then I thought, what about the fact that DMSO makes other substances enter the body through our skin? Anything we have on before, PR put on up to 30 mins? An hour? After, absorbs into our system. I wonder of this could backfire and take any tick borne infection deeper into the body? Or maybe the DMSO is so awesome that is kills all that on the spot, I am not sure.. Just wanted to through that out there for discussion.

I have no opinion on the injection because I have never used chlorine dioxide.
What can add to the healing potential of borax lotion and melatonin lotion is mag oil which is available as a spray on Amazon. All three should be useful for a torn meniscus to heal if it hasn't. For more pain relief, you can test Naproxen lotion. Here is how to make it :
You can test naproxen lotion by filling a shot glass 3/4 full with body lotion. Take 4 naproxen soft gel capsules and poke a hole in the end of each capsule with a large needle. Squeeze the punctured soft gel's liquid into the lotion in the shot glass. Stir the lotion very, very well with something like a coffee stir stick until the naproxen is well blended into the lotion. Apply the lotion all the way around the knee and see if that offers enough pain relief. Cover the naproxen lotion with a jar lid or small saucer in between uses. Naproxen lotion is only for pain relief, not healing. The other three are for longer term healing with daily application.
On the outside chance that this is a nerve related issue, in addition to the knee applications, apply the melatonin lotion and mag oil to your lower spine, from the bottom of the tail bone up about 10 inches. Apply to the lower spine whenever applying to the knee. If that extra step adds more relief, there may be a nerve component to the knee pain and that will take time to heal with daily applications to both the lower spine and knee.
If application to the lower spine adds relief to the knee pain, icing that lower spine area can help speed the healing process.
As always, get your doctor's approval and supervision for all of the above in order to be as safe as possible and to be sure it will be compatible with any meds you are taking.
Let us know if this is helpful for you.

I forgot to mention, that the "movement in the joint" doesn't sound normal and warrants another scan of the knee.
The Naproxen gel avoids stomach damage from NSAIDS.
My friends who have had TKR had very good results and said they wish they hadn't waited to have it done.

Hydrocodone does nothing for me either and it causes constipation in many people.
If ibuprofen is helpful for the pain, I think you will like the naproxen lotion and it should be useful post TKR also. Make a shot glass up of the naproxen lotion or use ibuprofen soft gels if you prefer, but either way this lotion is easier on your body. Some people find a slightly better effect from Naproxen over Ibuprofen.

Haven't tried either, as I don't seem to get the garlic odor from my Nature's Gift DMSO I can get at local coop. Although now that I have started oral use after years of external use only; I am realizing that Nature's Gift is not as careful and pure as I would like, so considering other brands myself.
I read that sometimes you get more garlic odor from a less pure product also that some folks are detoxing more and so get the odor more.

That said...I suspect DMSO, applied topically, doesn't go straight to the blood stream but, rather, the LYMPHATIC "stream". Which is why I think some can taste it when they apply it topically and some can't or application to one spot creates the taste but another spot doesn't. At any rate...I don't know enough about the lymphatic system to say, either way.
I don't use it as a "carrier" because it can't carry anything through the skin that can't get through on its own so...why waste it when a couple of drops of tincture under the tongue - which I suspect is a direct route to the lymphatic system - would work just as well. Or even tea, due to the salivary glands' connection to it. All you'd have to do is swish it around your mouth before you swallowed it. Even if it tastes bad, if your body wants what's in it, it'll take it. If it doesn't, it'll gag, spit it out, throw it up or otherwise reject it because a lot of elements of remedies the body only occasionally needs are merely toxins, when it has no use for them. Like muscle testing - which would be a whole lot less...uncomfortable, LOL.
Which is also why compounding - I.e. mixing a bunch of stuff together - is...well...not a good idea. The remedy might be in there but the first order of business for the body is going to be wrangling the toxins - I.e. the stuff it doesn't need - and a lot of the good "babies" are probably going to be thrown out with the bathwater.

It should not be used by anyone who has not first educated themselves on the strength of the product they are using, the safeguards & how to dilute it. It normally is diluted with water or aloe vera gel at different percentages according to its intended purpose.
Many books on Amazon are now being printed since its current revival of its benefits with the main stream health community. Youtube also has many videos offering advice and personal experiences, but use caution to validate the information.
I am still learning, but have bought both the 99% pure liquid in a dark glass bottle (never plastic, as it can leach into the liquid) and also a 70%/30% gel with aloe vera. The aloe avoids your skin becoming too dry and the temporary burning that occurs naturally. It has helped my lower back pain & inflammation.

I heard that it doesn't have a scent, or very little. But this stuff has a chemically smell (not sulfur or garlic or other things described as normal). How would I know if it's actually what it claims to be?
I have been using it for a few days, straight on the skin, sometimes with coconut oil after application. There's only a fleeting and mild heating-up sensation. Haven't experienced any garlicky taste. Some itching later, but not more than I get from using transdermal magnesium chloride, which is really itchy to me. Except that with the DMSO I sometimes get itching in places where I had not even applied it to (like the back of my neck, which broke out in itchy bumps like mosquito bites after sweating).
Another question: I had also dropped some in my mouth with iodine, as Walter Last suggested on is website for possible deep tooth problems (may have a problem with a root canal from over a year ago, which never fully stopped hurting). But then I thought about the 3 fillings I have left, made up of the old style mercury amalgam. Not to mention whatever material it is that filled the root canal.What's the probability that the DMSO would leech the mercury and other materials quickly and directly into my blood (even across the blood-brain barrier)? And more so than would happen anyways without it?
I have been drinking a bit of DMSO too, in mint tea (with a shot of Borax dissolved in purified water, and sometimes a few drops of Lugol's, and ACV which had eggshells steeped in it for calcium). Probably not more than a quarter to a half teaspoon of DMSO yet. I'm undecided as to whether I should be doing this or not, but seemed to be worth a try.
I will be getting magnesium chloride, and a bottle of colloidal mineral liquid, ascorbic acid powder, and MSM powder. Maybe to make a mixed solution with, to add some DMSO to and drink.
Any suggestions or potential reasons this may not be a good idea?
Thanks.
Thank you..
