As to veterinary grade DMSO I hardly think horse owners would use an impure 
product on their million dollar race horses and I think I'm worth at least that 
much so have no fears using it.  :)

When one takes into consideration DMSO is used for preserving frozen human 
embryos and frozen transplant organs the boogeyman scare tactics about it's 
dangers to the human body fall somewhat flat. Dr. Stanley Jocobs who has done 
extensive research on DMSO and it's many benefits has found it does no damage 
to any human systems. He in fact takes DMSO as a preventative measure everyday 
and has done so for many years without any damage.

There is no doubt that before one uses DMSO they should research and find out 
the proper ways to use it and should use a reliable authority [Dr Stanley 
Jacobs] to gain their knowledge from. DMSO is to be respected but so should CS, 
Vitamins and certainly any chemical drugs and foods etc. one puts in or on 
one's body.

I personally pay very little attention to what the naysayers have to say about 
DMSO.

Christopher Scipio's objections seem to fall into the following
arguments:

* Only pharmaceutical grade DMSO (USP) which is 99.9 pure is safe for
use with humans
* Industrial and veternarian grade DMSO which is only 99% pure is impure
and unsafe to use
* There are no studies showing DMSO is effective against herpes 
* It is dangerous because the solvent properties of DMSO allows
contaminants to be absorbed through the skin and transported into the
bloodstream.
*On exposure to air it forms a very high and toxic level of peroxides.


Personally, I find nothing alarming in his arguments. Yes, you need to
take care when using DMSO to not contaminate the DMSO or the skin where
the DMSO is applied. Ok, so be careful. I found nothing online regarding
the "formation of very high and toxic level of peroxides". Actually, I
often combine DMSO with hydrogen peroxide so I guess that would not
bother me. 

Seems alarmist to me but each to his own.

Has anyone heard of Christopher Scipio?  Just that I have just read a
damning indictment of DMSO by him in the treatment of herpes and
wondered if anyone has any knowledge of him--or is he just another
Quackwatch crank?  dee
