Thanks, Ray. A simple DDG search of "dimethyl sulfoxide MSDS" (referring to the manufacturer's safety data sheet regarding the product) reveals easy data to refute the "health-promoting properties" of DMSO. Here's one from FischerScientific, which shows quite clearly, this is A POISON. There are very few studies on DMSO, but the manufacturers definitely recommend keeping it away from water (aren't we mostly water?) and OUT of the environment!

As always Ray , you are a source for consideration . I do have some DSMO and like everything maybe it can have some good effects and maybe not; I think we know so little about anything , particularly the mystery of the human body itself, that trying a bit out and if it doesn't work , at least you can stop it if applied topically . For an example , my husband had a sore and stiff wrist area from using his hands re woodworking tools etc.. he applied it topically - careful to wash the area and careful with the amount . He reported a slight stinging sensation and viola - no issues since . I suppose with this result / perception it makes it seem like it works - with no pharma required . However , he did do something to his knee - and no luck with that re DSMO , but he was applying his "many methods of topical treatments " that I think he may have overdone that and made things worse . In many ways, if you make choices to take your own health into your own hands , it's worth a try and no matter what , you take the responsibility for it . I do like reading and listening to other opinions in order to make my own choices.
