>I have DMSO gel at 99.5% . I want to use it topically for back pain. Does anyone know to what ratio I should mix it with Aloe Gel. I do not want it to irritate the skin. Thanks, CK
Hello! I use a mixture of 1 part 90% DMSO liquid, 1 part 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (available at health food stores), and 4 parts Aloe Vera Gel (NOT the green stuff, the natural clear stuff without all the additives. Check the label for ingredients). This solution is a bit on the stong side, but effective. If it's too stong for you, just cut it with more Aloe to suit. Try just a little at first! The face is particuarly sensitive, so try a little on, say, your hands first, then a little dab on where you actually want to apply it. If you want just DMSO in it, and not the Hydrogen Peroxide, between 10% to 30% Aloe in the mixture should do the trick for most people. The Hydrogen Peroxide will help the back pain more, though, than DMSO alone. The amount that you can apply to an area, is also stongly dependent on how many applications a day you put on the area. A little trial and error should let you know what's right for you. Karl Kristianson -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
