As far as I have known, DMSO is DMSO. 99% should be the same wherever you get it. But then, I don't know the process they use to make it, or whatever. The reference won't do you any good. It was from some printed material on arthritis my husband had that his nurse-sister sent him email. I can't see on the material where she got it. I just happened to read it right after sending the recommendation to the list that they could get it at the hardware. So I thought I had better pass on the information that at least whoever wrote the material thought it had some kind of problem if bought from the hardware. I have been using it from there for years, but they could know something I don't. > > I wonder who is going to foot the half million dollar bill for the studies > after all > these years . . . unless perhaps it's Hoffmann LaRoche or Glaxo?
