Hi Gayla, The mix is to be used topically-- Because  DMSO is a carrier used 
to carry the CS, (EIS)  to the problem I remind  those that I give "the 
Mix" to that they should be sure their skin is clean  before they put it 
on..(the DMSO will carry what ever is on the skin along with  the CS. )  I also 
suggest that they put it on a very small area first to  make sure there is not 
a reaction to "the Mix", It may smart a bit when it first  goes on but that 
seems to go away fast... ( the glycerin is to keep the skin  from drying..)
    The CS (EIS) is what they take by  mouth... The 2 people with shingles 
took 1 tsp CS at a time.  after awhile  they didn't really measure...Just 
took a swig 1 or 2 times a day. After awhile  they didn't even need it every 
day..   
    I know you can take DMSO orally  with CS but I doubt the glycerin is a 
good idea to take by mouth... Maybe  someone on the list can answer that ???
