Hey Dee, I received a private email suggesting the use of Miracle II gel. It's been highly spoken of in the past on this list and I think it's a great idea, but it is pricey. Just thought I'd pass the idea along in case you have some on hand. I'm going to try a local health food store, but I'm thinkin I'll probably have to order it somewhere online. Good luck and hope something works for your hubby soon!

IF we decide to use DMSO in any mix or straight, I'll be sure to dilute it to probably 30% or so and test it in one area before proceeding. My dad said he's on his second round of some kind of steroid pill and the eczema seems to be getting worse. It sounds pretty severe, so I'm hoping to have lots of suggestions before I leave work tomorrow afternoon (as I said earlier, I'm off work and off-line Thursday thru Tuesday). Dad says his spots are patches of red, itchy, scaly skin areas, but the area on his leg is one huge solid "patch" from knee to ankle. I know that MSM is good for the skin and am thinkin this might be something to try first, but not sure as to how much to use, how often, etc. I will have to take/deliver anything that doesn't come from a drug store up to him (2 hours away) as he's just not gonna go buyin stuff from the tack and feed stores up his way. He's leery of my "doctorin" anyways! LOL But at least he's willing to go along to get along if I bring him what he needs. Hopefully someone will suggest something to help my dad as well as your hubby. I'll be happy to forward any suggestions to you that I may get from the DMSO list if you'd like. Thanks! Ruth
