DMSO revisited

[cornfedboy2000]

Bringing up an older topic I saw on here. I was reading a few threads on DMSO and gels, and the possibility of it helping transport the T into the blood. I have just started using DMSO on my knee and ankle to help get them moving for rehab, but has anyone continued to use the DMSO with androgel, or has anyone had any adverse effects? I'm not gonna use it for my androgel simply for the fact that I'm so new on the program and there's no use adding things till I see my numbers after 6 weeks or so, but I'd be interested to see if anyone has continued using them together or tried it. I know it's been a miracle for my ankle and knee.

DMSO is great stuff. Never used it as a transport agent for gel's though. If you want to improve absorbtion of gels without DMSO just apply moisturizer to the same area as the gel approximately an hour after gel application. Suntan lotion works as well. It will improve levels by 14-17%. It's actually on the gel insert (or used to be.) But I would not do this until after you've dialed in your protocol.

Another great supplement for joints is MSM Powder.

yeah, I've been using moisturizer an hour after I put the gel on since I started... I used to swing a hammer in northern wisconsin, so I got wind burn on my upper arms during the winter all the time, and now I'm prone to extremely dry skin even without an alcohol based gel being applied daily lol. From what I know MSM and DMSO are derivitives of each other (I think). All I know is my ankle was immobilized for 7 months and was locked at 30 degrees, I finally got it to 0 degrees, but it hurt all the time, I applied the DMSO and could almost instantly tell a difference. With pain like mine it's definately not in my head lol. I just thought it was interesting reading that some people had started using it in conjunction with the gel.

My take is if you need more testosterone then take more testosterone... no need to fool around with other stuff...

Personally, I didn't like applying the gels in the morning and really wouldn't want to reapply something else like an hour or so later... just gets too inconvenient IMO.

I've experimented with DMSO many times, and always keep a good quantity on hand.

did you know if you mixed it with LSD, and splashed a drop on their shoe without their knowledge, they would get higher than a kite in a fairly short period of time?

which is why you have to be absolutely careful with it. it will draw in things you don't intend. like the soap you washed your hands with.

I experimented with using it as a carrier for test base several years ago. it worked, but to maintain a stable blood serum level, you are applying regularly throuughout the day. DMSO can cause rashes and skin irritations. it will also give your breath a god awful garlic smell.

if you really want the most effective, lowest cost approach to your therapy, then you want to inject weekly.
