Abstract:

A unique topical treatment for diseases of joints and soft tissues with a proven scientific basis. The carrying agent is DMSO or (dimethyl sulfoxide) in purified form. This has ability to carry molecules of molecular weight 1000 Daltons or less through the skin. DMSO is also a proven anti-inflammatory for the treatment of joint and soft tissue diseases. By adjusting the acidity one can prepare a unique stable topical gel containing 5% glucosamine (molecular weight 200 Daltons) for the treatment of joint and ligament diseases. By adding 5% MSM we include a powerful anti-oxidant of sufficient low molecular weight to also be delivered through the skin. No other topical application presently available for the treatment of joint and soft tissue disorders can make such claims with scientific fact. No other topical can claim glucosamine, MSM, an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant in sufficient concentrations through the skin to have a beneficial affect on joints and soft tissues.
