Hey Summerthyme - something I have been meaning to ask you, or others - though, a bit off-topic from the thread, but related in the following sense - HOW we might administer supplements non-orally, for a better/useful effect than when they pass through the gastrointestinal tract, perhaps being reduced in effectiveness because this path of administration can cause unneeded counter-effects with gut bacteria, or uncomfortable or health-threatening auto-immune reactions versus the intended and ultimately helpful supplemental dosages getting through all of the potential gut or gut-induced roadblocks to actually produce positive healthful benefits?
What about the use of DMSO or other carrier agents, to aid in absorption of supplemental/allopathic substances/medicationis, bypassing the gut activities entirely? Along this same line, what about certain supplements/medications being prepared in a form that can be dissolved under the tongue, to be naturally absorbed in the mouth areas?
I am aware that their can be significant dangers in this approach - what can you/others tell us, or point us to, that might address this question at a beginner's level?
