My problem is that I am highly "allergic" (can't think of any better word) to all forms of garlic. If a food has even a molecule of garlic, I can detect it immediately and it makes me sick. If my wife eats anything with garlic, I can't go near her for three days. I don't know why I have this aversion to garlic, but it has made me very reluctant to attempt to use DMSO, since I have read that it results in a garlic smell and taste. That would be intolerable to me.
So, instead, I am taking MSM, to which I have no reaction. I take about 3000 MG per day (three scoops a day) in juice, and I understand that this will give me most of the benefits of DMSO anyway since it is extracted from DMSO, but is deodorized in the process. How would you "distill" DMSO? Does this do away with the breath odor and garlic taste? Does anybody sell this?
