OK, I've just purchased some TyroMax! I was reluctant, because I know Ray has said that desiccated thyroid has to be ingested, and that topical application won't work—but people seem to be getting great results from it.
Maybe he meant that not all of the desiccated thyroids content would be absorbed?
Also, DMSO is a potent skin barrier transporter. We use it A LOT in equine medicine. Topically, IV and via GNT (naso-gastric tube). Horsemen use it topically all the time on their horses and themselves. I am always warning them to carefully wash the skin off with warm water before applying.
"Don't want bug repellent getting drug into that horses joint do ya" Tex? Didn't think so..."
I don't use it on myself that much because of the nasty garlic after-taste I get. And the smell reminds me of death. When we had a huge outbreak of west nile virus, every horse in the hospital got liters of DMSO. Many did not make it (mostly through lack of funds to continue treatments). The smell of exhaled DMSO hung in the air for a quarter of a mile all around. Ugh.
