We were considering adding a new DMSO product which had some advantages over the DMSO we had been carrying, and then we found out that our old DMSO supplier had discontinued the old item anyway. So that development made the decision for us and instead of adding it, it has now become the replacement product.

Although more expensive than the old DMSO product, it has some definite advantages. The DMSO for the formulation starts out as a purer product making it safer. Then it is formulated in a ready-to-use dilution of 70% DMSO and 30% distilled water plus a little pure honey to help lessen the undesirable effects (breath odor, etc) of DMSO and to symbiotically enhance its good effects. And finally it is contained in a glass bottle to eliminate any possibility of contamination from plastic.

We know this is not a huge-selling item, but we think this will be a very good replacement for those of you who do use DMSO.

Since it is that time of year again for ticks, mosquitoes and other pests, I thought it would be good to discuss Lyme Disease and the horrible effects it can have. What is Lyme Disease? It's a bacterial infection usually caused by a bite from a deer tick and gets its name from the initial outbreak in Lyme, Connecticut. And while it is near epidemic proportions in the northeast, it has spread across the country and even the globe. The bacteria itself is spiral in shape and looks very similar to syphilis. And some say that the effects are as bad or worse than that sexually transmitted disease.

Since the bacteria is in the shape it is in, it can invade nearly every biological system in our bodies, so symptoms can be wide-ranging from gastric and joint problems, to neurological problems. And it often goes misdiagnosed for months or even years giving the infection a foothold that is difficult to eradicate. Patients are even often told that it's all in their head until things get so bad that it's often too late and they die from it.

So what can be done? If caught very early a course of strong antibiotics will usually take care of it in just a few weeks. But since most cases go so long before treatment, then most doctors that are successful in treating it (and there are not many of them) use strong antibiotics intravenously over a period of two or three years.

As far as supplement recommendations, I have seen people claim to get relief of their lyme disease-related pain using 8 grams (2 teaspoons) of MSM a day. Personally, if I were trying to deal with it, I would work up to around 8 or more teaspoons a day in an effort to eradicate it similar to MSM eradicating other parasites, as reported by still others. However, that being said, I have no info on MSM "curing" lyme disease and would be most interested to hear of people's efforts to try to do that with MSM. So if you or a loved one is dealing with this disease, and you're willing to try it, please let me know either way what your results are. Thanks!
