Weng: I would not recommend combining DMSO and bentonite for topical application. DMSO reacts with bentonite, and I do not, at this point, know the exact reaction, but it is possible that the aluminum silicate bond may be broken, which may result in depositing metallic and/or ionic aluminum directly into the body.
Furthermore, except on rare circumstances, bentonite never actually enters the bloodstream. The rare circumstances account for a very minute amount of the smallest possible clay particles entering the blood stream. The effect is beneficial, but an over-abundance of clay particles in the blood is likely to result in extremely negative consequences; possibly the destruction of red blood cells. Barring further research, there are too many unknowns to truly predict a positive experience. It is likely that any risk associated with use is negligible; I myself have experimented with the DMSO clay combination. Extreme circumstances may provide reason for such experimentation, however... Such as conditions like "jungle rot" and other non-responsive and illusive skin conditions ( of course, DMSO would have to be used very carefully as well ). In such a situation, I certainly wouldn't neglect to include CS in the mixture. Thanks for the comments!
