Hi Brooks,
I remember doing something like this some years ago and getting quite sick.
It was explained to me that many of the chemicals in the moisturizing lotion
were designed to be absorbed by the body at very low levels and when I used
DMSO with them I was carrying in substances that were toxic at the levels
the DMSO was carrying in. Do you have a way around this? Or to determine
what would be a good lotion to use?
Thanks.
PT

Only if they are water soluble fractions.
Best Regards, Brooks.

Would the DMSO/urea combination also help transport antifungals through
the nails?
Thanks for the info.

Having to address a number of recurring inquiries relating
to difficulties/inconveniences/frustrations relating to brittle/splitting
finger nails, imposed over recent years....prompted one of us to evaluate
for a simple methodology that would offer some acceptable solution.
Early-on it was determined that....contrary to common
belief.....special additions of gelatin/collagen to the existing diet do
not---of themselves--- solve the problem. One can obtain just as
effective a result through eating a piece of chicken----as by consuming
gelatin concentrates. (This troubled me, especially since I had been
operating under the misconception [principally based on the very high
protein percentage of gelatin/collagen fractions] that chitin-based cell
structures would respond most favorably to gelatin supplements.)
The truth of the matter seems to be that the principal causes of
nail brittleness/splitting is the dehydration effect....especially as we
age. Without boring you with ancillary
details, I simply state that we confirmed that nails dehydrate just as
does the skin (they are both constructed of the same type material).
Additionally, we determined that using skin conditioning
substances containing urea were the most effective protocol for addressing
the dehydration insult. Products such as Eucerin (not recommending as a
specific purchase)contain acceptable levels of urea.
We found a little modification to that recommendated by the
various skin care companies....increased the effectiveness of their
re-hydration procedures-----by almost an order of magnitude....in time.
It was, simply, just through mixing the gel or liquid moisturizing agent
(containing urea) at a concentration of 70% (by volume) with DMSO (full
strength) 30% (by volume).
The overall suppleness improvement of the nails was quite
dramatic....manifesting within (sometimes) hours. However, do remember
that fingernails, generally, grow at about about 2 or 3 mm per month.
Therefore, complete correction via regrowth requires
a one-to-one relationship between the crack length and the time for
regrowth.
We determined that daily application was the preferred interval.
However, once every 2 days proved acceptable...especially if the subject
used gloves when washing dishes and did not display a fetish for
over-frequent hand-washing. Additionally, the improved tissue flexibility
around the nail-bed was dramatic (in some cases).
While not of great health import, I did feel this simple
procedure recommended itself sufficiently to be posted for membership
reading.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
p.s. No wisecracks accusing me of being a cosmetics hustler.
