I've been using MSM for probably close to 10 yrs or so. A person on an RA support group told me about his use for calming pain...I started using it for the OA I deal with.

Later on I came upon a DMSO support group and learned more on controlling pain with DMSO. These two are related. And there is talk about controversary of these two. They work good for me.

Remember James Colburn and his story on the delibetating RA he dealt with. He worked with MSM.

Right now I'm using a solution of DMSO/Collodial Silver/Clove Oil in a dark dropper bottle to keep a tooth area that flares up on occasion and it's keeping the infection down.

I thought I posted it here but I can't find a post on these.

I've been buying my DMSO at Vitacost online and it's 99.99% purity and what I do is save bottles that are empty and dilute the solution 70/30 approx with distilled water...so it's not as strong and no skin burn or irritation. I know many use it for cataract control and some members do take small doses internally and add honey to their dose to cut the smell. I took it internally a couple times but decided I was not going to anymore. Maybe it would be helping the OA pain more but I don't.

Right now I'm working with the solution I mention above for a tooth infection and so far it's working good today. No pain. So that is promising, we'll see how tomorrow is. Time for a tooth dose and to bed. C
