Wow, what a reaction.  So you are in constant pain?  How can you tell that 
the GSE is doing any good?   Anyway, if you prepare GSE, watered down of 
course, and add some DMSO and put this on the joint area, it will penetrate to 
the bone.  At least, that is what I understand DMSO will do--take everything 
directly in down to the bone.  So that will get more into the tissue in that 
area.  If this is not correct, someone on this list will surely say so.         
      Re the oil of oregano---be very sure you dilute it with some other oil 
like olive or flax.  Water will not dilute it.  A woman I know put some pure 
oil of oregano in a plastic container, doubled, and it melted the plastic.  I 
saw the plastic and it had been melted through.  It got in her purse and 
smelled loud.  So be careful with it.  It will do a lot of good though, just 
don't get it too strong.  The plastic was one of those little things a 
restaurant will send salad dressing home in.  She used two--melted both.   Hope
 you feel much better very soon.    pj
