Hi,

Thanks for all the replies in the thread on DMSO regarding it's odour.

From my original post: "Also, my mother, who is an energetic 83 year-old,
has recently learned that
she has osteoporosis, and is experiencing a lot of pain due to a fractured
vertebra.  Any thoughts on using DMSO in a case like this?  Would one use it
straight (diluted with distilled water) or perhaps mixed with some other
beneficial ingredient?"

This evening I mixed a 70% solution of DMSO using 24ppm CS. I applied it first to my own wrist to see what kind of reaction I would have, applied it a couple of times and allowed it to dry in-between applications. I wanted to be certain that it wouldn't burn too much before applying it to my mother's lower lumbar region.

We both felt only a mild prickly feeling on the skin... nothing major, and the bad odour never materialized for either one of us... perhaps because we used so little, or because we both smelled bad and couldn't tell the difference! ;-) I left my mother's about an hour after the application, so I don't know if it was of any help to her, but I told her to re-apply it tomorrow.

What I'm wondering about is mode of application for the lumbar area. Is it enough to apply a single, thin coating of a 70% solution and expect positive results (reduction of inflamation, pain reduction, etc) ? What about soaking a gauze pad and keeping it in place for an hour, or more? Would that burn too much? Any ideas?

Elle

PS: I think I'll make a batch using Richard's recipe of CS, MSM, and DMSO for my mom. I really hope it helps her 'cause she's so energectic and the only way she gets any relief currently is taking Advil.

thanks again.
