sorry if I missed it, but what is DMSO?
DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) is a polar aprotic solvent. What it does is take the drug across the integument (skin) barrier. It is a delivery agent that topicals need. I used it with distillate to treat a basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis. Turns out it could not tumor reduce but it did stop tumor growth and it was effective on all actinic keratosis which was the precursor to basal cell CA.

Me, too. One doctor mentioned that all it takes is a tincture sprayed on the basal cell and let the alcohol dry. He said the sticky that is left is what's needed. That wasn't what the article was about so that's all he said. Been looking for more info on that but haven't found it. If anyone knows something about it I'd sure like to know.

When I was doing mine I put a little DMSO my finger and rubbed it in. Anyhow, twice it got a little hard scab-like bump that finally came off. It felt a little like a bite and then was gone.

Had some vb ghani/ skunk back around 2000 after major lower back surgery and it was 10x better than any of the narcotics I was given. No comparison really. The skunk Actually allowed me to get up and walk around pain free which was amazing. Good luck, hope you fou some relief!

if you are a new grower i would seriously suggest picking up a grow book and giving it a read. the book i love is ed rosenthal's cannabis growers handbook some of the sponsors of the growers handbook by ed rosenthal are Apogee Instruments, EYE Hortilux, Green House Seed Co, Grodan, Horticulture Lighting Group, Humboldt Seed Company,
Plant Success Organics, Royal Queen Seeds and many more :) good luck with your new grow.

That's excellent to hear it was at least partially effective. I have heard a lot of great successes using full-extract cannabis oil on BCCs, it's possible the distillate was only able to stop the tumor growth because it was lacking other cannabinoids and terpenes, but that's only a theory and some BCCs are resistant to all kinds of cannabis products. The AK response is promising though. Do you happen to know the cannabinoid/terpene profile of the distillate you had?

Not specifically, this was years ago but I grow, hunt and breed pain relief strains so it was a high THC strain that I was using back then. Likely either Kosher Kush, Pre 98 Bubba Kush or GG#4 or possibly even a Jack Herer or C99.
