And it certainly would not damage anyone to try. (Although if the skin is irritated, I would not use more than about 10% DMSO, since it can irritate the skin if strong. But I don't have scientific papers to prove it, only years of experience dealing with animals, and people too. (Not patients, merely friends and relatives.) And that kind of knowledge doesn't usually mean a thing to scientific types, who have to have expensive double-blind studies to believe anything. The problem is no one is willing to pay for the studies, because they can't make money on things so cheap and available as CS and DMSO. So if your friend is not open-minded to just try things, he may have to go without the benefits.
