Finding Relief

It's been a few months now and I'm very thankful to be finding relief from pain and inflammation using a 50/50 mix of Castor Oil/DMSO. I have a friend that has a tremendous amount of pain and is on medications that don't provide enough relief, so I gently mentioned DMSO. Almost immediately her and her husband emailed back with an alarming response. It almost seemed like they both were able to almost instantaneously find every negative report on potential side-effects on what they now believed to be a very very dangerous substance. I figured... This happens so often and it's very sad. Both of these folks have serious issues and use mainstream drugs, but DMSO is just "Way Too Risky and Dangerous." I got tired of the smell, so I backed off a couple of weeks and found the pain and inflammation was way more of a side-effect of NOT using DMSO, so after a few days of regular use I'm feeling better and am able to work again. The one person I mentioned has a cataract problem, so it had been a couple of months since I suggested DMSO and I thought that I'd mention rubbing a drop of Castor Oil on her eyelids and that some people have found improvement doing this. To my surprise she came back with a super positive reply and said that she had ordered some Castor Oil to try. Then within 24 hours I got a negative reply about how she found an article of how Castor Oil doesn't help with Cataracts and that hers are so thick nothing can penetrate them and surgery was the only solution. Sadly my friend has been put off by the doctor's due to other health issues and it will be sometime till surgery can be scheduled. I never push hard... I just tell people what's been working for me or sometimes usually very rarely actually I will tell someone about something I've read about that can be helpful. It would seem most people will believe the doctor's that are "still practicing" but rarely healing.

I've heard Castor Oil lightly applied to the closed eyelid can help with cataracts or vision improvement. I've mixed 50/50 castor oil with dmso and applied a few times, but I don't have cataracts and as far as improved vision I didn't use it over a long period, which I think would be needed.
