Morning all, just looked up a bit about Brooks Mix & use of coconut oil
--Here are a couple bits from my Brook's archive --1.- One limitation of
coconut oil is that it is, essentially, fat soluble---not water soluble..
2. Glycerin seems to evince equally beneficial, topical effects
on the skin surfaces......as does Aloe Vera. Not a major thing, but
Aloe liquid is considerably less costly than is glycerin and it adds an
anti-irritant component not found in glycerin.
No claim to be a medical specialist but it sure works.. :-) Lois

Lena, I've been battling shingles since January this year. CS is now being
used effectively , someone gave me a recipe for Brooks Mix which is
essentially, CS,DMSO and glycerine. s I substituted Coconut oil for the
glycerine and it works OK, just have to shake it up since oil and water (
you know the drill). Later Brooke spoke up and said he was now using Aloe
gell instead of the glycerine and it was much more effective.
