Customs opened and sampled the package, but were unable to seize it as it is not a registered therapeutic nor is it subject to importation bans in Australia (or maybe they just stuffed up).Hi Bill,
So you now have the pure DMF. Indeed there are no bans anywhere, as it is a normal substance which we all have in our bodies, and which is already so old that it cannot be patented by some moron.
Bill Wrote:A word of caution though: It is a very strong drug with the potential for unpleasant side effects. And dont take it with bananas. I had a headache for 14 hours the last time I did that, and there wont be a next time.
Good luck,

Here you are exactly pointing at the disadvantage of using DMF in its pure form. Already 40 years ago dr. Schweckendieck did a lot of research on this.
From this research it follows that it is absolutely not good to use DMF in it's pure form. You can get heavy stomach-aches and the pure concentration of it in your intestines are not nice for them.
This is also why Fumaderm has additives to prevent the problems in stomach and intestines.
Therefore in the Netherlands, dr. Kunst, developed Psorinovo. A Fumaric Acid ester, in the form of pills that are coated so they will pass your stomach without doing harm there, and in a slow release version so during the day/night it will gradually release the DMF. This appears to be a very nice approach as is revealed by research of dr. Kunst himself. So here the Netherlands we are already aware that dimethylfumarates work very well for most of psoriasis patients (not all !. I just read a mail from someone with whom it does not work).
