Yes you are correct Mike but what John was alluding to was the breakdown products resulting from DMSO's action on scar tissue. Since DMSO does not actually break down collagen to detritus, but simply breaks cross linked collage fibers, resulting in a flattening but not elimination of scars there is no basis for concern that a breakdown product is produced. He implied that "toxins" would be produced and this is not in fact the case.
While DMSO will carry anything under 1000 daltons molecular weight into the body, there is simply are not that many products of concern on the skin in most cases. Unless one is exposed to such agents and applies DMSO to the skin without cleansing. Most people are not so exposed and most people exercise due care in cleansing an area before applying DMSO because the FDA has put the fear of God into them that DMSO is so "dangerous". If it were this "dangerous" to human tissue it would not be used for organ and stem cell transport. DMSO is in fact safer than aspirin requires 40,000 times the therapeutic dose to produce a Lethal dose. It can not carry bacteria, viruses or fungi into the body. Additionally it is one of the best anti-oxidants known to man. That is WHY it is used for organ transport. The work of Dr. Stanley Jacobs, Robert Herschler, PhD and others in the development of DMSO in the 70's is one of the century's and may well prove to be one the milleniums's most outstanding medical developments. It has been called the Third Medical Revolution of the 20th Century with Antibiotics and Corticosteroids being the other two. DMSO Nature's Healer by Dr. Morton Walker available from Amazon for ~$11 is fully referenced with thousand of journal articles and private communications. Garnet On Tue, 2004-11-16 at 11:14, M. G.
