well there's a minor risk with DMSO if not applied properly. kind of caused a panic in the medical community apparently
See, DMSO will not only travel through the skin, but carry anything dissolved in it under the skin as well, so you have to be extremely careful to clean the application area before applying, so you don't drag toxic chemicals or dirt, germs, etc. into the body along with whatever good chemicals you want it to carry.
basically, a few people had toxic reactions after treatment, and the whole medical community panicked, so the government banned its use in humans when all they really needed to do was make sure people were cleaning the skin properly and letting any isopropyl alcohol or whatever was dried before applying a DMSO solution.
I have used DMSO for local pain after injuries like muscle strains, and once torn ligament. It helps, and seems to speed the recovery. But yes, you have to be careful when it comes to cleanness.
Fiance has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I found Gregg's website while hunting for solutions when we didn't have insurance.
couldn't find DMSO at the time, so we went with another form of the same chemical, MSM. that and lysine helped a lot with symptoms. he's been a lot better since we found out he could take those when the CFS hits hard...
There's a whole treasure trove of info, shame the man passed away in 2009, though...
