DMSO and HPQR freeze gel

[dav4463]

DMSO and HPQR are pain relieving freeze gels that are used on sore joints for horses. I know someone who uses it as a pain relieving gel. Does anyone know of these products and are they safe for human use ?

Use carefully; check with FDA or a large manufacturer's website or WEBMD.

Dave, the FDA & FTC put together what's know in the industry as the GRAS LIST. Stands for "generally regarged as safe". You may want to check their sites to see if either ingredient is on this list.

Dave,

I've used DMSO etc.. frequently in years past when I was hands on, with no ill effects what so ever. Of course don't drink the shit..:cool:

I seem to remember DMSO makes you smell like garlic.

Makes your knees bend better AND keeps vampires away!
Good product. Call Ron Popeil.:)

Once applied, it gets into your blood stream and you can actually taste it.. a little like garlic, if I remember. Should keep the Vampires away, or maybe the wife or girlfriend too.

I once had a secretary who had some Lasix on her desk. When I told her they give that to race horses, she first called me a liar and then told me how distressed she was if it was true. She finally started believing me when I explained to her the effects of the stuff.

DMSO worked well on my knees and elbows. I wouldn't call it a freeze gel though. Burns like hell for about 15 minutes!
Make sure you use it after a shower, it goes right through the skin and can carry impurities along with it right into the blood stream.

salicylic acid, active ingr. in ben gay, icy hot, etc., is the best. 30% or greater is good @ least for muscles.
