Hi Dee, My concern about aloe is that it is an allergen for many... and personally, I cannot use glycerin either. PT

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 On Oct 24, 2012, at 5:01 PM, Zoe W wrote: 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.
