The Fraud Squad----Medical "Practice":

[Gyp Rosetti]

I'm sort of, sort of, with Babe here. Any of you ever heard of or know about DMSO? I myself never used it but my dad (who was a legit marathoner--2:39 was his PR I think) told me about it and said some of his running buddies, one of whom held the world record for Masters marathoners, used it and some swore by it. Like it was a cure all. But that one person died using it in the 70's or something and so the FDA shot it down or something and that's that. You can buy it online via the internet I think from Canada and I've considered it. I'm not in anyway saying go ahead and buy it but from I've heard it sounds like a remedy that is amazing for aches and pains, illness, a bunch of stuff. One side effect he said was that your breath evidently becomes God awful.

DMSO is a powerful solvent for many things. I had a bottle of it in one research lab, the anti-cancer research group where I worked for some years. It absorbs through skin and into the bloodstream almost instantly, and can carry some other active pharmaceuticals with it. It could serve as an alternative to popping pills down the hatch and hoping they get absorbed, maybe help in some cases "target" an active agent to the exact site where you want it, as a skin cancer or an organ. Just inject the medicine in situo using the quickly absorbed carrier. Speculative possibilites that could be researched. . . . . if research funds were directed at the possibilites. At first blush it could hugely hurt the pill pusher folks but I don't see why they couldn't profit from that method just as well as the pills.

And yes, within seconds of letting it contact your skin, you can smell it on your breath.

As Babe mentioned, DMSO is great at getting substances into your body bypassing the need for oral or injectable methods. It also allows the substance to be utilized by the body without passing through the liver rendering it more potent in smaller doses. Again, to use the steroid analogy, mixing certain steroids with DMSO and then applying it to the skin is much more effective than taking that same steroid orally.

Also as Babe mentioned, it gives you horrid breath. Akin to someone having eaten raw garlic.
