====== DMSO for Interstitial Cystitis ======


[[http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Overview&DrugName=RIMSO%2D50|RIMSO-50]] is the medical grade version of Dimethyl Sulfoxide, commonly known as DMSO.

Per the FDA: "[[http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia/importalert_169.html|At present, the only human use for which DMSO has been approved is for interstitial cystitis, a bladder condition]]", and [[http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/03/briefing/3975b1-04-Drug-review.pdf|Drug review/P030004]].  Googling "[[http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dmso+interstitial+cystitis|DMSO Interstitial Cystitis]]" brings up several related items.

DUSA SAL Gel created by the late Dr. Stanley W Jacob is also, unofficially, considered medical grade.  There is a company on Internet as [[http://www.jacoblab.com|http://www.jacoblab.com]] selling the stuff.  I do not know that companies connection with the late doctor.

that talked about some miraculous cures from using DMSO.  I contacted Dr. Jacob. whom supplied us with some RIMSO-50 and DUSA SAL Gel, to see if it would do anything for Karen's neck pain.  Dr. Jacob had no idea if it would help such a condition so he sent us a few bottles of each.

In the end it did not help Karen.  Most of this took place pre[[http://kpaddock.com/doku.php/resources/fluoroquinolones|floxing]].  Tried it a couple of times after floxing for unrelated things, it never helped the tendon issue.

In playing with DMSO we found that you can put a few drops of it //anyplace// on your body and then taste it in your mouth within seconds.  This is why doing double-blind studies have been impossible to-date.  While the taste is not sickening it is not something you really like to be tasting, can't think of anything that it might taste like.

Anything that you mix with DMSO will //imediatly// be absorbed in to your blood stream and distributed throughout your body.  Hence it is very import to work in a **clean** environment when dealing with DMSO.

DMSO can be found at Health Food stores.  This is //not// the medical grade stuff.  When playing with this we found it caused redness at the site of application, which did not happen with the stuff from Dr. Jacob.  The redness is caused by impurities not being completely removed from the solution.

For intreavious use, such as Interstitial Cystitis, supervision by a doctor is required.
