Further down in this article is a bit about the use of DMSO for prevention of colds and flu, so it seems ok to take internally:-

Will take a tsp a day, and see what happens or not! Will I reek of garlic!!!

Right, thank you - I've been looking at MSM for ages [in my am*zon basket] and still not sure? But at least I now know that it is this.

Have you used it before, reallyfedup123? I am now trying to stop my tendency [which stemmed from trying to 'fix myself' for years] to hear or see something, claiming something, and then adding it to the pile of stuff I take. Now I'm going to rely on reports from people, along with the 'claims' Thank you x

I agree with another poster who suggested MSM instead of dmso for ingesting. I find I can only take a tsp or so of dmso (diluted in 4 - 6 ozs of distilled water, then another 4 - 6 ozs of distilled water to wash it down because it is really foul tasting) because it will bind me up. Even if I drink plenty of fluids, it has that effect on me. I guess since dmso can be drying to the skin when applied topically, maybe the same thing is going on in the digestive tract? And I can only take it a few days x week... not everyday. And yes, you may smell of garlic or old gym socks. Some folks (depends on individual body chemistry) have no odor and with some it can be extreme.

Most interesting Thank you too

[LindaC]

Thank you! Personal recommendation, although we are all different, is still better than 'just trying it'

Thanks reallyfedup123

Now I wait until things go awry again before adding something new into the mix. If feeling pretty OK, I leave well alone; this could, however, be my next go to.

Hi reallyfedup123, without reading up again, from what I have learned, it is a very tiny question, that in animals, it affected temporarily the short sight, but that was with mega doses of dmso.

I am now taking 2 x 1000mg msm daily since yesterday, with half a lemon in water, and now take my iron with it is as well, for better absoption.

Still haven't got the DMSO, was really only intending it for use as a carrier agent, to take the l'carnitine tartrate into the scalp hair cells, to see if my hair got thicker again, like it was.. It's ok, but would love to see if this works. Will keep posting about it..
