Was reading thread on Sticky on topical skin cancer treatment remedies and following the links on the vit c for skin cancer followed this link
http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/DMSO.html

which talks about precautions for using DMSO including:

"Fourth, do NOT let the DMSO come into contact with any type of clothing or anything else.

In short, it should go straight from the bottle, into a mixing glass (made of glass, wood, ceramic or metal) and then the mixed product should be put on the skin, but not above or touching any cancer cells."
NOTE the last line!

Hi sunsetgal,
try this link
www.dmso.org
remember google (as in google.com search) is your friend - so if you're not sure "google it" and see what you come up with.
dmso is a solvent that has a variety of uses beyond a mere solvent. Another thing i find handy is to click on the underlined word search at the top righthand side of the forum page and then type in something - for instance bloodroot - and you can see what people have posted on this forum about bloodroot or whatever else you search for. i think with a little "searching" and "google it" -ing you will catch on quickly! May God bless us and help us and guide us as we deal with skin cancer!!!
I am so grateful for all the people who post here and share their experiences and what has worked for them. It has given me hope and help. I can't thank all of you enough. I thought in 2004 when the 1st one on my nose was taken off via Moh's surgery that would be it. When had 3 more carved off my nose as well as a couple of "bad" spots frozen off i started to get very worried and upset. I got on the web and found this forum and now i have a new perspective and hope. Again, thank you to everyone who has taken time to post and share. You are all in my prayers.

Hi Ridgebackdogs

Pikirimy here....

I used DMSO in the past on hardened skin because DMSO
is known to soften hard skin. I have an autoimmune dis-ease and one of the issues I faced from time to time was thickened skin on my hands. I would mix DMSO with water and rub it into my hands to help the skin. I dabbed a little onto my bcc on my nose, but it is highly corrosive, strongly alkaline irritant and my bottle says not for therapeutic use.

It has an aweful smell.

What type of skin cancer do you have ridgebackdogs. Hope you don't mind me asking....

Kind Regards Pikirimy
Sydney, Australia

Hi Pikirimy,

No, i don't mind your asking - Have had 3 bcc carved off and 1 scc - i have some suspicious spots that a derm said were ak's and adivsed me to use aldara but after research on the web decided didn't really want to try it as the spots are on my face. I have been using extra virgin unrefined coconut oil on these spots - one has disappeared, one has shrunk and now is not scaley but still is pigmented light tan, another one looks like it is shrinking. I was thinking about using the dmso w/vite c but not sure about using this.
Thanks for sharing your experience with DMSO
Best Regards,
RidgebackDogs

Although more skin cancers are seen than malignancies involving any other organ, this is least commonly a cause of cancer death. Inasmuch as the lesion can be seen with the naked eye in an early stage, the potential for cure is well over 90%. It is thought that the single most important factor in the cause of skin cancer is chronic exposure to ultraviolet light of the sunburn wavelength (UV-B). Individuals who are intensely pigmented are quite well protected from these rays.http://doctorfinders.com/endovenous.php
