I am still trying to find a solution to the DMSO smell problem as my family refuses to be around me. Right now I am using a DMSO product from a seller recommended on the Jim Humble website who h is labeled PHARMASOLVENT grade.

Jim Humble says in his latest book that PHARMACEUTICAL grade DMSO hardly smells at all, that it can be purchase on the internet, and that it is considerably more costly. I looked on the internet; there are many Pharmaceutical Grade DMSO products and they do not seem to be very costly at all. However, when reading the customer reviews, the smell still seems to an issue.

Has anyone purchased PHARMACEUTICAL grade DMSO and found that the odor has lessened or was eliminated?

Thank you.

Addendum to my question: I was now told by the owner of Keavy’s corner that there is no such thing as Pharmaceutical Grade DMSO, and I am confused because Jim Humble specifically mentions that term in his book. The “odorless” products I researched say Pharma grade but they still appear to cause an odor. Could you tell me what Jim Humble was referring to when he mentions that there some products that greatly reduce the offensive odor.

Product description
Pharma Grade DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is a very distinctive dipolar highly aprotic organic solvent with a freezing point of 64 Deg F. DMSO by itself is actually odorless, what makes Dimethyl Sulfoxide smell and taste like onions or garlic is DMS (Dimethyl Sulfide).

Industrial grades of DMSO will contain DMS and therefore give off an offensive odor. Pure Pharma Grade Dimethyl Sulfoxide is distilled and purified to remove DMS and any other contaminants leaving it odorless. Dimethyl Sulfoxide, once considered a medical curiosity and now used in many regulated drug delivery and healthcare applications.

The Toxicological aspects of DMSO have been studied extensively over a long period of time and it has been concluded to be a very low toxicity hazard in humans and animals via oral and parenteral routes.

One of the highest concerns surrounding DMSO is that it can take everything through the skin. While DMSO by itself can penetrate fairly easily through the skin and does enhance the adsorption rates of some chemical compounds, it does not have a universal ability to take just anything through the barrier properties of human skin.

Despite the past history, Dimethyl Sulfoxide is proven to be a safe versatile material. It should also be understood that when water is present as a cosolvent in DMSO the penetration kinetics are much lower.

Yes, I was researching the same product and had read that description. I was just wondering if the Dmsos labeled “pharma grade”. are different from the DMSO that Keavy’s Corner and WPS4SALE offer,. I have purchased DMSO from both in the past and it has always caused body odor. I have spent many hours on the internet and just can’t get clarity as there are no labeling standards.

I have used that DMSO listed on Amazon and so has a friend. His wife did not mention any smell when he used it.

Would be interesting if you would buy that product on Amazon and let us know if you have the same smell problem or not.

Thanks.

Amazon sells Phama Grade DMSO from two companies. I've purchased both, but only tried one so far. And so far NO smell (and do complaints from others about smells.

DMSO is a great solvent. So, it you have a great toxic load, which the DMSO dissolves and the body eliminates out of the skin and lungs, that could be the smell?
Have you done the liver cleanse?
