This is taken from Dr. Weil's website in a list of remedies for tendonitis: DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide): Made from wood pulp, this chemical penetrates the skin and promotes healing. You can buy it at a health food store. Paint a 70 percent solution of DMSO on the sore area with cotton and let it dry. You may feel warmth or stinging, and experience a garlicky taste in your mouth. Try it three times a day for three days. If there is no improvement, stop using it. If you do feel some improvement, apply DMSO twice a day for three more days, then once a day for a final three days. (If you can only find more concentrated products, dilute them by adding distilled water.) http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA123924 This is taken from Dr. Weil's website in a list of remedies for tendonitis: DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide): Made from wood pulp, this chemical penetrates the skin and promotes healing.

For the past 3 months I have used 1 teaspoon DMSO and 1 teaspoon MSM pure powder together in about 2 oz of my favorite juice every morning before taking my dog on a 4 mile walk. If I experienced pain in the evening, I would repeat the same amount. I dilute the DMSO 50% with distilled Water and keep it in a glass bottle. I handle the DMSO and MSM (99.9%) with plastic spoons only. I have not experienced any side effects beside being free of pain. Sometimes when experiencing a headache or even migraine, DMSO helped within minutes. O plan to keep using this amount also as prophylactic for Alzheimer. Before DMSO, I could only walk for about 10 minutes. Today I do 5 miles and feel energized. Good luck and please feel free to connect with me again.

I don't really know. But it doesn't make any difference if this particular version of DMSO doesn't work. The FDA has had over 60 years to evaluate DMSO with no definitive result. (Typical Gov't. agency) However, horse trainers and Vets use it sucessfully every day on animals If you decide to try it, buy it from a Vet. or horde tack supply. Don't make the mistake I did by buying it online.

DMSO is a solvent. It will dissolve all most anything. Putting on skin is dangerous because ANYTHING on your skin (or anything dissolved in the DMSO) will be absorbed into the body. This includes things that you might not think of such as deodorant, perfumes, lotions, germs, etc... Merely touching your finger to the liquid will cause it to smell on your breath within only a few minutes. I do not believe that DMSO is approved for use on humans in this way, although it may be approved for veterinary use ( I am not certain). Not sure of your your purpose or goal, but I would suggest that you read up on safe use of this material. DMSO is a solvent. It will dissolve all most anything.

Every day initially. 15 minutes a day to avoid sensitivity. After a few weeks usage can be reduced to 15 mins once a week to maintain.

i use it daily; it saves on excessive pain medication. I use a kitchen tong holding cotton or cloth. i carefully refresh (pour on) the dmso and am able to reach spots on my shoulder blades, etc. I have learned the skin areas where full strength cannot be used to avoid a mild rash. I treat upper arms, shoulders, back and neck, lower back, hip joints and knees without rash.

http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm It's from the wood industry. The link takes you to a great article on DMSO. Very important, dilute to 70%.

While using DMSO, I asked friends if they could smell garlic; they all replied "no," but perhaps body chemistry may create that odor. Nope--no garlic smell on me, and the DMSO works beautifully. I have no knowledge of what MSM is, so I'm not sure about the transformation of DMSO. Ask a chemist. :-)

I've only used DMSO for muscular aches and pains - for which it is excellent.

I will try. I don't think "pure" can be detected in DMSO. I've used it for years and have never experienced any kind of a problem with it; only success. "Concentrate?" I've never heard of it-concentrate that is. The DMSO bottle has always advertised 99% purity. I've believed that meant a little water was added to it. I know a number of people who use it - no side-effects whatsoever!!!!!Chet <><

I believe they recommend once a year. These can cause sensitivity and shouldn't be over used.

It depends on how often you use it and how much you use each time. I haven't used it that much as I'm into double edge shaving and I use an Arko after shave lotion, but when I do use it, I only spray out a small amount which cover my face and neck. I usually use it at bedtime when I remember..I would think a once a day user would probably have it last 2-3 months..but that's an educated guess.

It claims every 4-6 months but I'm sure they are just talking up their product. I'd say every 3 months if you use the recommended amount to begin with.

I usually go 18-24 months under normal use (<5 gallons/day). They typically will advise a year or less so you buy more. Never have a changed one that is visibly dirty. I also bought an inexpensive total dissolved solids (TDS) meter to monitor monthly.

I have not used it for that purpose; however, DMSO used on top of whatever liniment or pain cream that you normally use will help that remedy to penetrate deeper into the soft tissues. DMSO by itself is great, and combined with another cream (such as one with capsaicin) is even more effective.

Depends on how many times a day you use it...recommended dosage is twice a day.
