DMSOGel with Aloe Vera, 4 Ounce

Somehow I developed a lazy eye on my right eyelid. It would go away and then come back every 3 weeks to a month and last about 2 weeks and this cycle went on for 6 months. I have had DMSO forever but was skeptical about using the gel on my eyelid. I said to myself " try just a little tiny bit" So I did. The usual burn effect happened (which tells me it's working). I did it for 2 weeks (twice a day) and then while I was driving in car, my right eye watered up big time. All the fluid that was in my eyelid was gone forever. It's been 5 years since that incident, and never had that lazy eyelid again. I have been using DMSO on many many occasions and passed it on to everyone I know. Watch 60 Minutes DMSO 1980. 45 years ago is when I got Hooked!

Excellent. Works like a charm. It does have a scent— smells like something in the nightshade family. A little goes a lot way and it’s super easy to apply. I wash my hands before and after use. I’ve used this for a variety of dermatitis, bug bites, etc.

The product appears to be ok, but for me, it burned after applying it to my skin.

People need to research this product and see what potential benefits it has. I am totally in tune with this product and what it does.Why did you pick this product vs others?:It was suggested by a friend and I will definitely get more of this item.

It relieved my pain, but there is no recommended dosage anywhere that I could find for osteoarthritis. I ended up using too much and ran a fever for a few hours, and had terrible stiff muscle aches for 24 hours after that. I can live with the garlic taste it gave me, if it meant easing my pain without taking Aleve every day, but I clearly OD'd on it and I'm not interested in trying it again.

Item arrived quickly, is helping my husband with his knee pain. Doesn't have a smell.

The warning on the label is not mentioned.I am returning this because I bought it for my dogs skin condition and I don’t trust it.It reads as follows:“Sold as solvent only. This product is intended as a solvent only. The choice of the process used in the various applications is the sole responsibility of the user. It is unlawful to represent in any way that this product is useful or safe to use for medicinal purposes.”!!!!!!!

I've enjoyed using DMSO for myself, family, and patients since the mid 1990's. It's likely one of the best household personal pharma items in the bathroom cabinet.Recently I noted some people saying you can use DMSO together with wintergreen oil as a local analgesic. Well, time for me to try it!According to Wiki references, Thirty ml (about 1 fluid ounce) of oil of wintergreen is equivalent to 55.7 grams of aspirin, or about 171 adult aspirin tablets (US). This conversion illustrates the potency and potential toxicity of oil of wintergreen. [1]Patients should definitely be aware that excessive use of DMSO together with Wintergreen oil applied to the skin could have an outcome similar to the excessive use of aspirin, (note: aspirin is not methyl salicylate, but rather acetylsalicylic acid), such as bleeding and so on. In other words, it might not be a very good idea for patients to relentlessly apply large combinations of DMSO and Wintergreen Oil, day in and day out, or over vast surfaces of the skin.So on the one hand, it appears that DMSO together with Wintergreen oil is no more dangerous than aspirin; but on the other hand, it can be just as dangerous as aspirin for those that are relentless in its excessive application. I hope I haven’t scared anyone away. The fact is that DMSO used with other medicines is extremely powerful & useful. In some instances, such as the treatment of poisonous spider bites, the combo of DMSO with other meds is the best medicine available (per the empirical studies I have read). And like all powerful medicines, you have to be intelligent in its application. Thank God the corporate-sponsored US FDA was unable to bar its use!Regarding safety: Is there a difference between taking aspirin pills and applying methyl salicylate transdermally (note: transdermally means DMSO carrying the medicine across the skin)? According to one peer-reviewed study, there is no difference; “No significant difference was detected between baseline and 6-hour thromboxane levels for either aspirin.” [2]Does Wintergreen oil mix well with DMSO? I don’t know, but will give it a try. For DMSO to effectively carry medicine across the skin barrier, two conditions must be met:1) The molecular weight of the medicine must about 350 moles or less, [Molecular weights of everything can be gleamed by online search or Merck index – If the medicine weighs more, then the chemical is just too big to pass through the skin barrier];2) The medicine must be able to fully dissolve into the DMSO, [Vitamin C for instance does not dissolve well at all – wherein many hormones from testosterone, estrogen, to corticosteroids, dissolve and are carried across the skin very well by DMSO].My personal experience has found a great deal of success in using DMSO to transdermally carry many antibiotic ointments and corticosteroids across the skin – Hence, vastly improving their effectiveness!SUNBURN: I have never seen anything work nearly to the degree of DMSO (particularly with aloe gel) on preventing sunburn! I cannot begin to recall the innumerable successes of patient-use whose skin turned Beet Red under the Caribbean sun. I have never seen an instance of ‘sun burn’ occurring in a single patient provided they applied it soon and frequent! I am not endowed with a great deal of eloquence. Even if I had the skill, I do not believe I could adequately describe the remarkable achievements of this physician in using DMSO (and aloe gel) in preventing sunburn among over-exposed patients in the Caribbean.The caution for people is to realize that DMSO has the ability to carry many chemicals across the skin and into the capillaries, and blood stream. Patients are advised to keep this in mind. It might be extremely harmful to apply DMSO and then work with poisonous chemicals you don’t want in your blood stream; [examples: gardening chemicals such as glycophosphates, insect killers (including mosquito spray), certain cleaning products, and maybe even sun screen]. The great news is that this is a wonderfully powerful & useful medicinal tool; and you are a grown adult that does not need some government bureaucrat to hold you by the hand, and do everything for you!Power to the People![1] Johnson PN: Methyl salicylate/aspirin equivalence: Vet Hum Toxicol 1985; 26:317-318[2] Tanen DA, et al., Comparison of oral aspirin versus topical applied methyl salicylate for platelet inhibition.
