Questions About DMSO for RA

after only finding out about the many benefits of this "solvent" I purchased it a few weeks ago...;I find many articles here also on Dr Mercola's website BUT can find NO nooks on mainly the applications..and protocol... even here many opinions BUT also I read that when applying D' for Rheu Arthritis as it gets absorbed it also "heals" other .... problems??? HOW long does one need to apply onto hands and heels, knees... for R Arth to see any change... I am applying 2 droppers full into my hand and applying it to the problem areas... Mini changes>>> yes I know how long is a string...BUT some indication to how many times a day or not more than.. and a time frame for us more impatient readers...?? Thanks
