 i'm familiar with DMSO, thanks to Jello Biafra's famous song about it

i know that it is a very interesting material for very specific uses because of the way it increases membrane permeability in living tissue and i have strongly suspected this condition had something to do with permeability... and that it is connected with alzheimers in that part of what causes the problem is the response of the immune system to polymerise glucose into amylose and this turns into mass that is blocking ion transit and in general congesting things

i'm gonna go look for a source for this, i'm sure it won't be that difficult to acquire, it's not flammable or corrosive, or poisonous.

also, maybe you were aware of this but MSM also has some connection to this, in fact i think when you take MSM one of its metabolites is DMSO

the feeling that stuff is blocked is undeniable, and i am constantly flexing and stretching my hands and feet in response to the sensation of poor circulation, and indeed it's also colder, i have definitely noticed in the last two years that especially my hands and feet have become colder

probably it works by helping to promote the movement of the agglomerated starch polymers such that they bump into enzymes and other materials that decompose or break it up

Praise the Lord for sending you to mentor me in these various things, it's putting me onto paths that are helping me progress.

DMSO with magnesium!

i'm pretty sure that magnesium being blocked from circulating in the periphery is part of this, so this could be a double whammy 
 Glad I can help.

It does look like DMSO also effects water because it binds to water more than water.

Yes, MSM is a metabolite and has some benefit as well. 
 yeah, i see it mixes badly with alcohol so i will take it first thing in the morning to be sure, and maybe it will encourage me to wait until later to partake
