Has anyone tried using DMSO as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? Arthritis? Were you successful? > Has anyone tried using DMSO as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? > Arthritis? Were you successful? DMSO does nothing. It is a carrier of pain relievers etc. and is great at carrying them into the muscles and nerves. > Has anyone tried using DMSO as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? > Arthritis? Were you successful? DMSO produces topical thermogenesis and is very therapeutic to muscle tissue, which is why its use in veterinary care has been longstanding. As Vernon said, it also carries whatever chemical might be present, however it works very well on its own. It may work best on injury- as opposed to systemic-related inflammation, but it's worth a shot. Anyone with arthritis should be sure to get plenty of quality cod liver oil.

And what "natural" source do you use for DMSO? That is to say, what is the concentration in nature of DMSO? After all, we wouldn't want to be ingesting something for which our bodies have not evolved.

[ref. > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9 537081&dopt=Abstract] Experiments have been done with purified DMSO applied with stainless steel applicators. Results, not considered beyond placebo. Most people, when using DMSO in any normal fashion get a taste in their mouth. It is an indication that something was carried in with the DMSO. It is one of the reasons why many will have great results and others say none. DMSO is not expensive and not normally dangerous. If someone wants to play around, get some and just pick up a peeled garlic clove, drop it, wipe your fingers, place a small dab of DMSO on the finger (careful not to contaminate the DMSO in the bottle), rub it on your wrist. Take note of taste and wrist feeling. > >> Has anyone tried using DMSO as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? > >> Arthritis? Were you successful?

If you'd like some actual research reviews that are in English (not that I'm knocking articles in Dutch per se)...

Veterinary science disagrees. I also disagree, in light of many positive experiences with it personally. > Most people, when using DMSO in any normal fashion get a taste in their > mouth.

Smooth skin areas can also be very sensitive to it, so one should test carefully. >> >> Has anyone tried using DMSO as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? >> >> Arthritis? Were you successful?

Note, pure and carefull application. DMSO experiments are a marvelous source of questions as to the power of human touch (physical emminations). Oh, yes, it is very difficult to get dogs to tell you if they taste anything different (an indication of purity) >> Most people, when using DMSO in any normal fashion get a taste in their >> mouth.

That's probably true in terms of actual healing time, however its anti-inflammatory properties are a way to get horses back on their feet (very important if you're a horse.) > Oh, yes, it is very difficult to get dogs to tell you if they taste anything > different (an indication of purity) So that's why every dog I've known kept quiet about his brushing habits. ;) > >> Most people, when using DMSO in any normal fashion get a taste in their > >> mouth.

I don't know the mechanism in your example, but I do know that a human can "pet", not rub, an inflamed leg muscle of a horse and it will heal faster. DMSO works. What we need to know is the mechanism. Want to try something almost miraculous? A slightest trace of Arnica with DMSO. Arnica gel / ointment by itself is great, but don't tell anyone that it's homeopathic because EVERYONE knows that homeopathic doesn't work. Hey, that reminds me. A surgeon bought some Arnica and some DMSO for his carpal tunel problem a couple years ago. He said he couldn't stay in business without it. This same surgeon came from a hospital where most of the surgeons told patients to get Arnica to keep the bruising down. But, homeopathic doesn't work. >> Oh, yes, it is very difficult to get dogs to tell you if they taste >> anything [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> > Smooth skin areas can also be very sensitive to it, so one should test >> > carefully. > Has anyone tried using DMSO as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? > Arthritis? Were you successful? My first answer SHOULD have been. Try it. Let us know. |
