Choose an option8.6 oz.2.3 oz. DMSO 8.6 oz is 99.9% pure Dimethyl Sulfoxide an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2SO. This colorless liquid is an important polar aprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and nonpolar compounds and is miscible in a wide range of organic solvents as well as water. It has a distinctive property of penetrating the skin very readily, so that one may taste it soon after it comes into contact with the skin. Its taste has been described as oyster or garlic-like. Use of DMSO in medicine dates from around 1963, when a University of Oregon Medical School team, headed by Stanley Jacob, discovered it could penetrate the skin and other membranes without damaging them and could carry other compounds into a biological system.
In medicine, DMSO is predominantly used as a topical analgesic, a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals, as an anti-inflammatory, and an antioxidant. Because DMSO increases the rate of absorption of some compounds through organic tissues including skin, it is sometimes used as a delivery system.In a 1978 study at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, researchers concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority of the 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders that were studied. They recommended DMSO for all inflammatory conditions not caused by infection or tumor in which symptoms were severe or patients failed to respond to conventional therapy. DMSO has been examined for the treatment of numerous conditions and ailments, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only approved its use for the symptomatic relief of patients with interstitial cystitis. DMSO is commonly used in veterinary medicine as a liniment for animals, alone or in combination with other ingredients.
In the latter case, often, the intended function of the DMSO is as a solvent, to carry the other ingredients across the skin. Also in horses, DMSO is used intravenously, again alone or in combination with other drugs. It is used alone for the treatment of increased intracranial pressure and/or cerebral edema in horses.

The book recounts the story of pioneering doctors, such as Dr. Frederick Klenner, of South Carolina who practiced and documented the use of high doses of intravenous Vitamin C to “cure” viral diseases such as polio. The book also describes Vitamin C used as a therapy for bacterial diseases and inflammation. Why Vitamin C therapy has not become central to the practice of human medicine is a mystery. Since 2004, an effective new way of delivering high doses of Vitamin C has become available, i.e., liposomal Vitamin C. This is technology makes use of lipid molecules that bind to lipids on one end and water on the other. These molecules form protective spheres around the Vitamin C that enable it to pass through the digestive tract and into the system without reduction in bio-availability. Livon Labs makes this stuff. I have begun to use liposomal Vitamin C to successfully treat chicks with the viral disease fowl pox. It is vital that the chick receives supportive care such that it is adequately nourished and hydrated throughout the treatment.
For chicks that start treatment early enough, lesions, on and around eyes and mouth, drop off within 2 days and no new lesions develop. With any other treatment I have tried, lesions take up to 2 weeks to resolve and new lesions appear until the disease resolves. About 25% of the birds survive. Apparently survival rates are higher in other areas. Most signficantly, for treating bacterial infections, such as bumblefoot, I have also tried using liposomal Vitamin C for a chicken that had an infection in her throat. Her throat was blocked so that food and water would not pass, and the airway was partially blocked. I gave her Vitamin C and honey, every 12 hours, through her vent. She was able to stand and move around, for five days but the lack of adequate nourishment weakened her and I was not able to save her despite being able to poke a hole in the material to allow me to insert a catheter down her throat to crop feed hers. I did a post mortem examination and found that the yellow solid material was about 50% disintegrated.
If I had been able to insert the catheter before she became weakened, I think that I would have been able to save her. By comparison, in a similar case several years ago, oral antibiotics available to me, did not have the same effectiveness and speed in disintegrating the yellow solid material in the bird’s throat. In addition, in talking to our local feed store chicken guy, he said that he was successful in saving a chicken with this condition by massaging the neck and using long, think forceps to gently pull the cheesy material out of the throat. I also intend to try the Vitamin C therapy in the next case of bumblefoot. As in human treatment with vitamin C, the most important thing is to get the dosage high enough to be therapeutic. I will be trying to establish appropriate dosages. I will also be using the vitamin C for any birds that get respiratory conditions. I hope this information is helpful. HISTORY: Imelda, our first Pekin duck, seemed to have a tendency to get bumblefoot when the weather get cold and mucky.
The first year, Dr. Tom (a lovely vet who now work for a zoo in Poland) treated her with antibiotic and the infection slowly responded. When the problem reappeared the next year, I couldn’t face another expensive course of antibiotics. I decided to try something else, and hooray, it worked. First I made her a duck boot out of neoprene. See the pictures below. For a few days I gave her a daily oral dose of Tylan 50 antibiotic (1 ml) I also did something I learned from the game cock people, I dribbled some Tylan right into the boot and on the wound. I also daubed her foot with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to try to reduce swelling and increase circulation. So the foot was in a moist, clean boot. The callous covering the wound became soft after a day or two and I kinda dug at it each day till the wound opened up. Then I’d sluice Tylan and DMSO in it and wrap it up again. Finally, the callous came out altogether and there was a nice clean hole in her foot. At that point the wound seemed to shrink rapidly over the next few days.
I decided to discontinue oral antibiotic and just treated the wound. The swelling and inflammation which had been large, hot and angry looking was deflated to less than a third of the size with no redness. The scab area is about a 3/16” in diameter. All of this happened in about a week and a half. So it has been a much faster recovery than the previous 2 month treatment with oral antibiotics. I’m not afraid of bumblefoot any more. Imelda, is gone now, but her son, a handsome Muscovy/Pekin, is one of the select few ducks who roam freely by the stable and come into the barn to mooch at feeding time. Mostly the stable ducks are those that I treated for broken legs or the very rare illness. My patients seem to like it at the stable, because when I take them back to the duck yard they fly back over to the stable. I need to add something here about lead. At one point, in 2012, folks on the farm were shooting rats with a pellet gun in the duck yard. I began to have healthy ducks and geese getting very sick and dying very quickly.
This was very unusual because ducks are so healthy and trouble free if you feed them properly and make clean water available, and give them proper sanitation. I looked at symptoms and what was different about what we were doing. Then one day it hit me that there must be pellets left on the ground. I looked up lead poisoning in water fowl and of course the answer was obvious. I put a ban on shooting and ducks stopped getting sick. I was able to save a number of the ducks who got sick with good nursing care – mainly, lots of hydration delivered via a catheter. The sickest duck that I was able to save, came to me virtually unconscious with her head lolling down. She has since returned to the duck yard and had ducklings. So, be aware of what gets introduced into your environment. Lead is terribly toxic for both humans and animals. I don’t understand why lead pellets would be legally available. One little story about Imelda – we used to take her over to the pond area by the pavilion, a good 400′ away from the duck yard.
