The active ingredients of cansema are soluble in water. Water is miscible with DMSO. DMSO is miscible in at least some oils (e.g. jojoba.) Therefore the active ingredients of cansema might be dissolved in VCNO using DMSO as an intermediary solvent. The DMSO would also act as a penetrant. Has anybody tried this possible enhancement? Matthew Hi Matthew -- I have not used DMSO, but from what I have read, if you add some (not too much) DMSO to the black salve, it will help carry/penetrate the salve deeper through the skin, and "possibly" even reach internal tumours. I always add Emu Oil to the salves that I make, as this oil penetrates through the skin and acts as a carrier. Also -- a black salve that has been stored for a longish time tends to dry out, and emu oil is very good for making it moist again. Regards, Gunar
