Emu oil is penetrating but nothing even close the what DMSO does. So it
depends on your target tissue. If it is just wound care and subdermal
layers Emu Oil is adequate and does not have some of the draw backs of
DMSO. I would use DMSO for internal use myself. I do love Emu Oil for
preventing the drying effect DMSO has on the skin though.

Were you under a physician's care or guidance when you did the
instillations? 

I have not heard that CS is alkalizing, but that does not mean it is
not. We have ideas about how it works but it seems to have far reacting
health benefits that are not fully explained. And it is unlikely that
anyone is going to fund the research to find out. 

The urinary burning could have simply been a highly acid urine. That can
happen just with dietary changes so it is difficult to say if it was
caused by the DMSO. You could contact www.dmso.org or www.jacoblab.com
and ask them if it has this effect. There should be information out
there though since it is the only FDA approved use of DMSO.

Here is the link for the DMSO list I moderate:
