Essential oils

With DMSO, essential oils are topical only, never above 4% of the blend, and a patch test comes first. Never nebulise an essential oil, or an essential oil with DMSO.

• 

  Plant Therapy Top 6 Organic set

  A set of six organic essential oils. Keep any DMSO blend inside the limit above.

Other supplies

  Aloe vera gel — Seven Minerals, 12 oz

This is a medical nebuliser for prescribed liquid medication only. Never put DMSO, a DMSO blend, or essential oils in it.

Books

Five books. A short note on each one is below. The links go to Amazon. They are not a promise that a protocol in the book is right for you.

• 

  DMSO Handbook — Hartmut Fischer

  A practical reference, written in German and translated into English. Fischer, a practitioner with a research background, sets out how he uses DMSO, including strengths and ways of applying it, for readers and for therapists. ISBN 3981525558.

• 

  The Ultimate DMSO Healing Handbook — Tom Ralston

  A short home guide. Ralston explains dilution, which grades he looks for, what he mixes with DMSO, and a day-by-day plan he calls a reset. ISBN 919901033X.

• 

  DMSO: The Complete Guide — Davis M. Fiedler

  A plain-language look at what DMSO is, where it has been studied, and how to handle and dilute it. Fiedler, a retired chiropractor, stays with published research and precautions rather than one fixed home routine. ASIN B0H9P5RHRJ.

• 

  Healing with DMSO — Amandha Dawn Vollmer

  A home handbook for use on the skin: how to dilute, what to watch for, and recipes that combine DMSO with carrier oils and other ingredients. Much of the protocol library on this site follows this book. ISBN 1646040023.

• 

  The DMSO Handbook for Doctors — Archie Scott

  A short handbook aimed at clinicians. Scott gathers published reports and notes on how he has seen DMSO used in a clinic, including with other substances. It is a professional reference, not a step-by-step home manual. ISBN 1475997922.

Studies and references

These are the numbered sources behind the library. An entry shows the same numbers, like a paper: [4] opens reference 4 on this page. A citation is a reading pointer. It is not proof that a home routine works, and it is not medical advice. Shop links for the handbooks we already recommend stay under Books. Nothing below is a new Amazon link.
