Here’s what I’ve been using and planning to use.
I’d be interested in hearing any advice
on modifications, too. I’m still typing so I’m
guessing there is a pretty good chance that
my efforts to keep things safe so far have
been successful 
I’d be concerned about not increasing the DMSO
or Lithium compound concentrations much. I’ve
read that DMSO is very good absorption enhancer
and that it can increase the absorption of other
topicals you may be using, ingredients in
shampoos, and other environmental compounds you
may get exposed to, etc. Also I expect significant
systemic absorption of the Lithium is to be avoided.
I think it can cause liver problems and probably
other less obvious psychological effects as well.
I would do some research on these things to make
sure you are confortable about what levels of
exposure would have insignificant systemic effects.
I wouldn’t take these compounds orally (maybe if
you are using the lithium orotate you could feel
comfortable with the regular supplement dosage). The
milk-thistle extract probably can’t hurt to supplement
orally, since that’s what it’s sold for in the
first place, too.
Originally I just used just topical application
of the milk thistle extract directly from the
1000 mg gelcap (after piercing it and using some of
the contents) followed by a few drops of a WNT
promoting solution of 2% LiCl, 5% DMSO in distilled
water, applied with a glass dropper. I was mixing
this in a small sample vial and applying a couple of
times daily. The milk thistle extract was a brown,
oily fluid with traces of solid residue. The solution
was a clear liquid which was similar to a common 5%
minoxidil solution. After the first couple of weeks
I stopped the application of the milk-thistle extract
and just continued with the solution for a couple of
weeks. This is the method I’ve used so far and
appear to be seeing some positive results with the
light sanding wound.
Later I made up the following 2 solutions for possible
future use, which I labeled EGFR- and WNT+. The EGFR-
solution is intended to inhibit EGFr and promote WNT
for the first couple of weeks. The WNT+ solution is
intended to be used after that for a few weeks.
EGFR-
2% LiCl, 5% DMS0, contents of 25 1000 mg milk-thistle
extract caplets, all mixed into a solvent made
up of a 50/50 mixture of 5% rogaine and distilled
water. This turns out to be a yellowish, milky
solution which can be visible on the scalp until
massaged in. I made up 60 ml and used a 60 ml
minoxidil container for storage. I’m intending
to use about 1/2 to 1 ml of the stuff a couple of
times daily depending on the size of the area I’m
testing with.
WNT+
(same as above but without the milk thistle)
2% LiCl, 5% DMSO all mixed into a solvent made
up of a 50/50 mixture of 5% rogaine and distilled
water. This turns out to be a clear solution which
seems to behave pretty much the same way as 5%
minoxidil. I also made up 60 ml of this and used a
60 ml minoxidil container for storage. I’m intending
also use about 1/2 to 1 ml of the stuff a couple
of times daily depending on the size of the area
I’m testing with.
I dont fancy paying the extra cost of having it imported from the US
