That & ivermectin will cure what ails ya

The powers that be certainly have not in for those two. Hmmmmm

I got these two, but in my experience, one’s pretty much the same as another. I do prefer the gel to liquid and I like the ease of the roll on

I had no idea that DMSO took care of so many things. I just remember using on my horse back in the early 80s. Definitely have to read up more on it.
I do essential oils as well - another thing that the “official “ peeps discount.

There are many links to studies on that site, lots to read!

I have an unopened roll on, have been using the gel. This afternoon I managed to get into two of my cars, started he engines and put defrost on full blast while I worked on the outside. I did a bit of ice chipping, made my arthritic thumb hurt, ow. Rubbed DMSO into the joint area, and my feet. No pain in thumb, though fingers are a little stiff. No more cramping in my feet at night, either.

I'm sold.

I've just ordered a roll on like the one you posted.
Do you think it comes as a bath oil??? Can you OD on it?

I noticed when I closed up the coop this evening that a few of my older girls aren't doing so good. Not up on the main roost with the rest. Feel skinny when I picked them up to put them up there.
I'll add supplemental protein & fats to the diet & worm them all over the next few days.
I was considering replacing the whole aging flock.... this cold weather might make some of the decisions for me.

Old laying hens make yummy chicken soup and the broth is so much better than broth made from Cornish cross.
When we lived in town years ago, I added 6 chicks each spring. By fall they were laying and I had eggs for the winter. Hens going into their second molt at 3 years old were butchered. After their second molt, they still ate as much but production dropped a lot.

Each spring I got chicks of a different color so I didn’t get them mixed up.

I was at the feed store this AM getting chicken stuff & decided to pop over to the horse meds isle. They had a little bottle of DMSO gel.
After I got home I put some on my knee & foot - after a shift in the creel, both were killing me.
I didn't notice much difference.
I coated them both again this evening before heading in. Still, not a huge difference.
Maybe it's a cumulative effect???
