After posting my last one, I started reading and reading.... then a real crazy idea began to gel. I used DMSO a few years ago for another issue, then forgot about it. I did remember at the time that I had to be real careful with it as anything mixed with it, intentionally or not, will be absorbed into the skin. The reason I've been sticking to orals and avoiding pinning can be obvious to some that are in the family way. There is a perception issue to some wives out there that having needles in a household with children is less than ideal. Yes, I could pin covertly. But sneaking around is also not good, ya know? And at my age, the crap I hear is like "what, ya wanna be a body builder?" So pinning for me is problematic, which is why orals, although less than ideal, for me is better than nothing. But I digress....
.....DMSO, when used at full strength, as a carrier, has an absorbtion rate of almost 100% (or so I've read). As with anything, there are sides, but minimal. Even pinning leaves scars and the works have to be dealt with. So my base test (powder - 10 grms) will be here next week, and I've decided I'll spread the 10grms over a 14 week period at 100mg/day.
....transdermal patches only have an absorbtion rate of something like 25% - 50%. But only 5mg per patch. That can be improved by introducing some DMSO, but still only 5mg, and very expensive!
....DMSO gel has an absorbtion rate of something like 50 - 75%, mainly due to the other ingredients included in the gel. Which means you still lose 25 to 50% of the test you mix with.
My game plan is to weigh out the 100mg in a shot glass, mix with 1/2 oz 99% DMSO, and apply directly to the skin by hand. As it evaporates very quickly, no need to cover after completely dry (less than a minute.) This can be done after the morning shower when the pores in the skin are dilated to their fullest, to maximize the absorption rate, and the skin is at it's cleanest. this will be done 1 hour pre workout. As there may be some skin irritation, I have a bottle of 100% aloa vera handy, and can apply after the DMSO is absorbed.
The reason for this post is threefold:
1) To document this technique for others to see
2) To see if anyone else has tried this technique and hear about their success and/or failure
3) How should I PCT after? Immediately after last day of dosing, or wait two weeks?
(by the way, a pack of gum to cover up the garlic smell on the breath for the 2 hours after applying is helpful)
Here's a copy to one of the few articles I've found to support my idea. If you have found others, I'd be interested....
DMSO Instead of Hypodermic Needles
- Roger Mason
The idea of injecting anything into your body is intrinsically unsettling and very unnatural. Some drugs and hormones are not orally available however. Testosterone, progesterone, estriol, growth hormone, and insulin come to mind. There is just no reason to inject people (or animals) with hypodermic needles. What can you do?
Well, you can use transdermal versions of any of these hormones. The problem is that often you only get 20% penetration into the bloodstream. You can use nasal sprays but the FDA has outlawed these in their infinite wisdom. Why can’t we buy hormones in nasal sprays at the pharmacies? Why can’t doctors prescribe nasal sprays? You can use sublingual versions, but these are just not offered generally. Sublingual delivery is very effective but just not used much at all. Patches are very expensive, for no good reason than to make the pharmaceutical corporations even richer. Suppositories are just a poor idea and unnecessary.
DMSO is another answer. You can also dissolve any of these substances in the common solvent DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). This is a naturally occurring sulfur compound that penetrates the skin and takes in any substance that is dissolved in it, thereby putting it into your bloodstream. The effectiveness usually approaches 100%.
Diabetics can dissolve powdered insulin in DMSO and quit being human pincushions.
Women can put progesterone, estriol, estrone, or estradiol in DMSO instead of using overpriced patches, ineffective oral forms, or low penetration creams and gels.
Men (and women) can use testosterone in DMSO in very small amounts. Men can use about 3 mg a day and women about 150 mcg a day. Please read my Testosterone Is Your Friend.
Growth hormone is now only about $100 a month for Chinese GH. No more needles! You can dissolve this in DMSO and use it transdermally or sublingually (for double absorption).
But you can’t buy DMSO solutions. The doctor can’t write you a prescription. Even the compounding pharmacist isn’t allowed by law to make them. There is no good reason for this other than ignorance. You can’t even find clinical studies using DMSO delivery as this is not considered proper medical protocol. Science is hindered by such ignorance.
So, make them yourself. DMSO is sold as a, “solvent, not for human or animal use” inexpensively on the Internet. Get an eight ounce bottle of 99% liquid for ten dollars.
You can also add an equal amount of DMSO to your current transdermal cream or gel and make it last four to five times longer. Save money! Let’s say a man has a 100 g tube of 3% testosterone cream. He has to use a half gram a day (15 mg) and hope that 3 mg (20%) gets into his blood. If he adds 100 g of DMSO to this he now has 200 g of 1.5% testosterone, but it is four to five times more effective in getting into his blood. If he uses a quarter gram (4.25 mg of testosterone) of this new enhanced cream he will probably get about 3.5 to 4.0 mg in his blood. Instead of lasting over six months, it will now last over two years. You can do this with progesterone cream, estriol gel, or any other drug or hormone you want.
DMSO has been used in large amounts topically for inflammation. This is not recommended for several reasons although you can get superficial relief. You are using far too much DMSO and this gets into your bloodstream. This is allopathic and only covers up the causes of your inflammation, arthritis, rheumatism or whatever condition you have. Do not use DMSO for pain or inflammation.
You can take melatonin, DHEA, pregnenolone, T3 and T4 orally with good absorption.
When you use natural, bioidentical hormones in natural ways there are never any side effects whatsoever. People who talk about “side effects” from natural hormone supplementation know nothing about the subject. Using DMSO is a natural way to use hormones that are not orally available.
