Re: CS>arthritis MSM DMSO

[Sara Mandal-Joy]

My "garden cream"  - what I use on my hands, under my gardening gloves, 
to make it possible for me to keep gardening, is a cream made of coconut 
oil, dmso, and msm.  It doesn't fully "dissolve", at least not in the 
concentrations of dmso I have tried so far, so the cream is "sandy" in 
texture, but rubbing it in finishes the dissolving process.  Heat might 
as well, but I don't want to heat the coconut oil, and not sure what 
effect that would have on dmso either.  Not really wanting to try that.  
But it works fine this way.  Coconut oil alone helps some, when I've run 
out of the "good stuff" - but doesn't fully keep the pain and swelling 
at bay.  But the dmso and msm do - basically keep me from being 
crippled.  I also use the msm orally, but find the topical use right on 
the worst area (hands, when exposed to soil/water while gardening) is 
extremely helpful.  Sara
I find the taste so horrible my a large jar never diminishes.  I have 
been wondering more and more about putting it in DMSO and simply 
applying it topically.

Sorry Carol - I missed this! I put a teaspoon in 2L water (a quart) 
otherwise DH can taste it - but more than that is recommended I think
