I had a bandaid on for days recently with this mix on to see if it would remove a strange wart-like thing on my leg. Didn't work. But it didn't hurt at all. > I would like to try a solution, 50% CS and 50% pure DMSO for my wife as well > for arthritis, and > would appreciate your suggestions to the following questions: > > 1.- How do you apply the solution pls ? with a spray or pour it on bandages > ?

It doesn't have to stay on long, as it penetrates right away. It does what pain relief it is going to do within minutes. And it won't injure you if it gets on other areas (unless you have some other chemical or something on your skin.) > 2.- Do you rub it on the skin with your fingers ? If so how long ? Just spread it on. > 3.- How long do you leave the solution on pls ? minutes, hours, all nite ? My husband just stays put for maybe five minutes to give it time to penetrate.

(if you apply the solution only for a few > minutes...) Just let it dry on. If it is mostly CS it may stay wet for a while, or get wiped off on clothes, doesn't matter. Won't hurt anything. > 5.- How many times a day do you apply this solution ? Sometimes we have applied it a second or third time during the day. Many people find that the pain relief that they get is long lasting--even months or more, from a few applications. If there is no relief after two or three applications I would forget it. Some kinds of pain do not respond. With others there can be almost miraculous relief. > Any other info for the application of the solution would be much appreciated. I had a neighbor who was a truck driver. He had arthritis in his hands from driving. He also kept goats. He said that He got it for his goats, and just "accidentally" splashed it over his hands. He got relief that lasted for months. That was how I first learned of it. I used it for a bad back. I had to apply is several times, but also got long-lasting relief. The only time I have cleaned the skin first is if I had some kind of chemical on my skin--like hand lotion or makeup. I accidentally splashed some on my face once where I had makeup, and it burned my skin. But that was from making the makeup penetrate, as it doesn't usually hurt the skin (when it is mixed like that.) But I have read that it will also carry viruses through the skin. (I don't know if that is true.) This is one reason I always mix with CS instead of water, as some others do who use DMSO. > Gaston Good luck. Let us know if it works for her.
