Dear Garnet
I have been reading your information for awhile I would like to ask you a 
question can using dmso with emu oil or coconut oil help me with my extreme dry 
skin?  I have been going to drs. for 40 yrs for this and all they say is that 
it is from my father and it cannot be reversed.
Can you please advise?  Also serium vit c on the face with dmso will the vit c 
penatrate deeper? or will it cause problems?
thanks
mary lou
