DMSO (topical)
DMSO is a very strong topical anti-inflammatory which will also carry other anti-inflammatories like alpha lipoic acid that is mixed with it into the body. The DMSO store has pharma grade DMSO that won’t smell like garlic after use & a 70% DMSO 30% Aloe vera mix (prevents drying) for when not using DMSO as a carrier for another medicine. When using as a carrier 90% appears to be the top concentration to mix with the medicine (higher has less absorption).
DMSO appears to be very effective used intravenously or topically for rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, head injury, stroke, sprains, strains, any swelling, strokes, & antibiotic resistant bacterial infection.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
MSM is a major anti-inflammatory/painkiller that is found in many foods that also helps hair & nails. Once in the body DMSO works the same as MSM. DMSO converts to MSM in the body. Most users take 2-8g per day.
MSM appears to improve reduce allergy symptoms, constipation, dementia symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s, muscle spasms, scar tissue (topically), giardia infections, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis/lupus/scleroderma.
When taken with organic frozen or freshly ground flaxseeds MSM appears to reduce cancer significantly.
