The last year my shoulder and wrist joints seemed to age 10-15 years over night. It happened ever since the 5G towers went up on a building near us. Nothing was helping the arthritis so I started on DMSO. I do 10 drops topical on both shoulders and wrists twice a day plus 10 drops in water to drink twice a day.
In about 2 weeks I got good improvement on shoulders and wrists and now 2 months in they are about 80% better. Plus as an unexpected side note, I had a spot on my scalp that I had my doctor look at because the blotch scabbed up and it won't heal. It was scheduled to be removed in April as a potential cancer spot. Well it healed over and is gone.
Also the toenail fungus on big toes is healing after years of trying everything. Can see the clear nail growing out now.
Yup - it can irritate the skin in general.
More importantly, it can carry anything that is on your skin directly into your bloodstream. E.G: if you had bacteria or chemicals (soap, lotion etc.) on your skin - it can get carried in microscopically.
Wash the area of application, before application. Use a sterile cotton to apply to the area - not hands. If you apply it with bare hands and fingers, skin those areas are and will be permeable to substances for some time.
Imagine applying some DMSO with your hands to your leg and then an hour or two later you use sunscreen or petroleum based hand cleaner...whatever...those chemicals may now go into your bloodstream through contact.
Benefits can be had for sure!
Anyone using needs to RESEARCH and use with caution.
