I am going to change my recipe from glycerin to Aloe Vera now as an alternative. Lois Dear Lois, We now utilize Liquid Aloe Vera and/or gel......in preference to Glycerin, as aloe vera yields superior response to a majority of external insults----excepting skin related insults. (At least this has demonstrated to be the case in our experimental research prosecutions). Do remember, we are a pure experimental research organization and DO NOT GIVE ANY FORM OF MEDICAL ADVICE OR PRESCRIPTION FOR ANY pathogenic challenges. Be Well, Brooks. P.s. One limitation of coconut oil is that it is, essentially, fat soluble---not water soluble.....in the forms which we use. We have had no experience with allantoin or urea......as an entrained companion of DMSO.

The question has come up in it's topical use on shingles...The inquiry is can coconut oil be used in place of glycerin ?? I remember you answered the question of what could be used but I can't find it in my "Brooks archive" This is one other post & question that just came up-----
