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.

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. - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: Dorothy Fitzpatrick [mailto:d...@deetroy.org] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2010 5:47 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>DMSO Has anyone heard of Christopher Scipio?
