Although there are rare individuals truly sensitive to DMSO
it is not at all a common occurrence. Always a good
idea to patch test *any* new substance though.
The subject of sulfur allergy has come up and it depends on
the form of sulfur. It is a common misconception that
allergy to sulfite or sulfa drugs is a "sulfur" allergy.
This is a misnomer.
Sulfur is a component of all protien containing foods. One
can not live without sulfur. It is in fact the most abundant
mineral in the human body.

"Being told that one is "sulfur allergic" commonly causes
confusion, as many people wrongly assume that they will be
allergic to multiple sulfur-containing medicines or sulfite
preservatives. It is important to know that sulfur is an
important building block of life, and that allergic
reactions to sulfonamide (sometimes called "sulfur")
antibiotics do not increase the likelihood that a person
will also be allergic to sulfur powder, sulfite
preservatives, or non-antibiotic sulfonamide medicines like
some pain killers or diuretics ("water tablets"). "

If it were me, I would use EIS or cs in the nebulizer, with no DMSO at
all. Some allergic people are very sensitive to sulfers, so I would not
chance it.
I would really really talk to the doctor about the use of the steroid
inhalers. They all seem to love them, but they are of no use for
wheezing. They say they are to be used to reduce the inflammation in the
long run. However, if asthma is related to fungal infections as more
recent research indicates, it might only serve to increase the
infection, if there is one. Steroids can not be stopped cold turkey,
though, since the body becomes adapted to them.
My home made CS helps my asthma a great deal. I grew up with asthma from
the age of 2, so I know what your daughter is going through.
Best Wishes,

I've given her CS twice in the nebulizer. I succumbed to giving her
some of
the asthma drugs too. Ugh. Xoepenex and Bud
esonide. I prefer 'natural'
stuff, but she was really wheezing/retracting and I know that stuff will
make that stop. I didn't know what else to do. :-(
She does seem to be doing better now. She was worrying me this morning.
But the CS and drugs in the nebulizer seem to be working now. Ugh. Just
trying to stay out of the hospital! Will be nebulizing more CS in a few
minutes. Is giving CS nebulized every 3-4 hours sufficient? Someone
