Hi Zoe, Melly & all. I got the answer to the  questions you sent concerning 
"Brooks Mix".. 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.

Hi Brooks, sorry to bother you but----I have lost your  reply to a person 
who wanted to use your "Brooks Mix" {{75% CS--10% DMSO  & 15% 
glycerin.....The person was allergic to glycerin & wanted to  know what could 
be used in 
it's place....
   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-----
