Amazon has it and I believe you can get it at a feed store. I believe DMSO is used for horses, for painful ligaments. I got my PEA cream from Vitalus. They also have 100% pure PEA capsules packaged individually in sealed packets. I purchased that also. That you can get on Amazon but one has to order the cream directly on-line from Vitalus..Vitalus has free shipping too. .I am not going to take the DMSO until I see if the PEA works. Want this to be a "clinical trial of one" - me!! Anyone else want to participate? Pam

Hi, Pam... for what it's worth, I found the following on WebMD regarding DMSO, and it was enough to keep me from giving it a try:
"There is concern that some non-prescription DMSO products might be "industrial grade", which is not intended for human use. These products are POSSIBLY UNSAFE, as they can contain impurities that can cause health effects. To make matters worse, DMSO readily penetrates the skin, so it carries these impurities rapidly into the body.

"Some side effects of taking DMSO include skin reactions, dry skin, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, breathing problems, vision problems, blood problems, and allergic reactions. DMSO also causes a garlic-like taste, and breath and body odor."

There also is a lengthy warning about its interactions with other drugs taken.
