question diluting 99.9 % dsmo

i plan on diluting 99% dsmo with equall parts distilled water to get 50% however
i went to the pharmacy and got a graduated eye dropper to use in mixing up a small batch but then i noticed the eye dropper is plastic of some sort

can i still use it with the dmso? the dmso comes in a platic bottle....hmmmm

any ideas...

DMSO is stored and shipped in HDPE plastic - should be fine - however, you don't want the dropper with the rubber squeeze bulbs - it will melt those over time.

ok.. so even the fumes of the dmso will melt the rubber ball, even if the liquid never comes into contact with it? What do you suggest to produce droplets? Will that rubber end up in the drops? thx.

Get one with an HDPE dropper.

I was wondering what happens when diluting down the DMSO?
I noticed when i mix down the DMSO with water (sterile) to 70 percent there comes a reaction.
The solution immediately starts to get warm and after a while it cools down again.
But after this i am afraid the solution looses its reaction? Can i other wise just use the 99.9 percent solution for my daily drinking dosages?

At the moment i just mix pure DMSO with the MMS1...

Jim says 70%, if you want to use 99%, I'd just use fewer drops - don't ask me to give you a chart - haven't one here. You'll need to wing it. BTW, if you're using DMSO on the body, Dr. Morton Walker recommends 70% above the waist and 50% neck up -

I just tried to dilute 99.9995% DMSO with distilled water. 50/50 and it started to smoke and get really hot!

Is this normal!?

i was unable to reproduce this. I used a new amber spray bottle.. wonder if there was something in there that caused it?

Yes, it will get warm when you add water.

I'm also wondering about this. I've been using DMSO with a dropper, but the DMSO never touches the rubber bulb. Is this ok?

Also, I'm a bit confused about dilutions (for topical use). I'm seeing a wide range of recommended dilutions...

Jim's latest book, for example, suggests in one place: 1 part mms1, 1 part water, 6 parts dmso (protocol 3000). In another place (patch protocol) it's 2 parts mms1, 1 part water, 1 part dmso. In a third place (spray protocol) it's 1 part mms1 to 75 parts water. And the children's topical protocol is even more diluted mms1 in water, with a large (proportionate to mms1) amount of DMSO.

Outside of that, I read a study where cancer was successfully treated in rats using a solution of 1 part tea tree oil (TTO) to 9 parts DMSO. Other places have suggested 1 part TTO to 1 part DMSO, and even others called for 6 or more parts TTO to 1 part DMSO.

These ratios are all over the place, and I'm not seeing any rhyme or reason as to which is optimal for which circumstances (other than the obvious, like more diluted for children), or what specific effects changing the ratios has.

Any clarity that can be provided on this topic would be helpful.

Also, Jim supports the use of undiluted DMSO (even though water is still often involved) as do others I have found, while I have read that 50-70% DMSO is superior for topical use.......
