First of all, I bought a 2 lbs can of it from the feed store. I dissolved one scoop of it in half a glass of water to which I added a little apple cider vinegar to mask the taste. It was still bad but it was doable. Maybe someone else can tell you if it is OK to mix it with vinegar because I don't really know. Great that yu are of of the hospital, Pete :) Barbara Hi, and again, thanks for all your support thru 2005 with my "nose" and "Emphysema". I just recently got out of the hospital having spent half of this year already in IC, critical care and then to the floor, followed by "out the door"( got to onery for the docs &nurses!<G> I plan to head out to our local animal feed store this afternoon and get some DMSO and MSM. My question is, how much would a daily dose compromise, and how does one normally take MSM? I've got 500mg capsules from Walgreens which state, take 4 daily. Do I buy empty capsules, mix in water, or what? I sit here at my computer daily as long as I can, ingesting 12PPM EIS from my Walreen's "ultrasonic mister". I heard someone say that if you are on O2 (24/7) that you should not add Dmso to the EIS as it is very dangerous healthwise. All, and any help would be welcome as I cherish each and everyone's input! Happy New Year you all! Pete
