DMSO - Page 1

I first used DMSO in 1970.  It relieved sorness in muscles and joints.  Any competitive lifter, body builder, track athlete etc knew about DMSO.  Same for trainers of non human athletes.  I thought about posting this as I just applied a large amount of the liquid to my knee.  DMSO comes in liquid, lotion and cream.  Liquid is the best for absorbtion.

For enhanced absorbtion it's also good practice to look into the following procedures when going TD:
Make sure skin is completely dry.
Make sure you are in a warm area (heat opens up the pores between skin cells)
Make sure application area is completely shaven.
The greater the application area, the greater the absorbtion.
 

Since DMSO is a transdermal (enters the system through the skin pores).  It was discovered that one could purchase the cattle implants Finaplix, Synovex etc OTC from Vet Supply Stores, Tack and Feed stores, internet Vet sources etc.  One would mash up the pellets into a powder then rub into the skin to get the highly anabolic and androgenic steroid "Trenbolone" into their systems.  This method has been, and is in fact still used on some canine athletes.

For the past 7 to 8yrs fina kits have been around.  These kits are used to make an injectible form of "Trenbolone" from the Cattle Pellets.  It is a much better method than going the Transdermal route.

DMSO Penetrates Membranes and Eases Pain

The first quality that struck Dr. Jacob about the drug was its ability to pass through membranes, an ability that has been verified by numerous subsequent researchers.1 DMSO's ability to do this varies proportionally with its strength--up to a 90 percent solution. From 70 percent to 90 percent has been found to be the most effective strength across the skin, and, oddly, performance drops with concentrations higher than 90 percent. Lower concentrations are sufficient to cross other membranes. Thus, 15 percent DMSO will easily penetrate the bladder.2

In addition, DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. This property would enable DMSO to act as a new drug delivery system that would lower the risk of infection occurring whenever skin is penetrated.

DMSO perhaps has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70 percent DMSO, 30 percent water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers.3 Several clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness,4,5 although in one trial, no benefit was found.6 Burns, cuts, and sprains have been treated with DMSO. Relief is reported to be almost immediate, lasting up to 6 hours. A number of sports teams and Olympic athletes have used DMSO, although some have since moved on to other treatment modalities. When administration ceases, so do the effects of the drug.

Dr. Jacob said at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Health in 1980, "DMSO is one of the few agents in which effectiveness can be demonstrated before the eyes of the observers....If we have patients appear before the Committee with edematous sprained ankles, the application of DMSO would be followed by objective diminution of swelling within an hour. No other therapeutic modality will do this."

Is it as good as Bag Balm?

missbeeb, The second the DMSO touches the skin one tastes and smells something similar to garlic.  I have been around guys who sweat a garlic/oyster odor from so much DMSO use. 

As a rule, I like to give off an odor of Fahrenheit Cologne, while my lips and hands are soft account of the Bag Balm.  The DMSO on the lips would be a nasty experience for all concerned.
