[extropy-chat] Nutraceutical advice needed

[Extropian Agroforestry Ventures Inc.]

Hi Mike:

One thing that comes to mind is dimethy-sulfoxide, a common aprotic solvent and lab
catalyst.  It has the interesting property of facilitating the transport of small
and medium sized molecules accross physical barriers such as skin , blood-brain
barrier and colon.

I have not reviewed this site completely but it summarizes some relevant
literature.

As a personal note I consumed about a teaspoonful of 100 % DMSO- spectro  grade for
about 4 years from 1973-1977.  It tastes like bitterish  garlic.  It has a warm
taste as it dilates surface blood vessels.  After a few days you get used to it.
It does have one downside, your breath will contain dimethysulfide so you will reek
of garlic.  There is a 90% solution available in the veterinary use area.

A lot has been said about this compound, but it falls in the orphan drug category ,
and it has never caught the financial fancy of any pharma company

Having said all this, I think you may find it quite useful overall.

product review articles one of which has focused on colon health.
