Way back when, The Vet-grade stuff was considered unfit for human use - they allow higher concentrations of toxic stuff (hydrocarbons, or toluene, or something) in that. I'm not sure if USDA regulation has changed that - you might want to check.

In the 80's DMSO mixed with cortisone was applied to an
injured area, and then ultrasound head was run over top of
it, supposedly driving the cortisone deep into the tissue.
Check out Jim Ferstle's articles from the 80's on steroids in the Minneapolis paper after BJ got busted - if you have a library, you can track them down.
BJ...as in Garry Bjorklund????
Where the heck did you see this? I have some serious doubts! Bjorklund was an old school 70's runner, Shorter and Rodgers type. He was pretty much done by the mid-eighties when AW/Salazar/Malmo etc. were around and the drugs were everywhere, except for a calculated shot at the 84 Olympic team.
Bjorklund ran a 4:05 mile in high school, faster than Pre their senior year. Then he whittled away at his PR's for some 15 years. NOT EXACTLY THE DRUG RESULTS!
Either give a specific source or apologize for screwing with the rep of one of the great and well-respected ones in the sport (not to mention Ferstle as a writer!).
I believe he means Ben Johnson.
ya, on that note, has anyone read the book by Ben Johnsons coach, Speed Trap?
Ive used DMSO back in the 80s..and it worked great ..The only thing it did was help me heal from torn ligaments in the shoulder..it worked..with no side effects..I dont think it should be discussed with roids...
Got some DMSO right in fornt of me you can get it in lot's of heath food stores. In comes in gel or liquid form and is diluted with water..100% DMSO is very powerfull stuff and yes it can burn and give you really bad breath and when you sweat it comes out of your pores.
If you use it has a contductor with the ultrasound head it drives to the tendon if you mix it with Cortisone cream same result. Guess, I should pull out my AW shirt and relive me youth as my hamsting is killing me!
Ah! Mystery solved, thank you. I got confused because Ferstle is a Minnesotan and has written about Bjorklund many times. Thanks again.
Hey asshole. Don't group me in with the AW of Salazar. I got out of AW when they started talking about "East German style training camp" - long before Alberto came around.
Did Carl ever use?
Hey asshole! Did you or did you not admit you had briefly taken drugs while on the AW team? That, buddy-boy, gets you an honorary mention in that group I referenced, timeline notwithstanding. Whether you like it or not.
What is the threshold that separates a "hobbyjogger" from a "sub-elite" runner?
