Hello Terry.
In answer to your inquiry, I offer the following:
DMSO was isolated by a Russian named Alexander Saytzeff,
in 1866. The real seminal work with this substance was conducted by two
Americans; Stanley W. Jacob, M.D., and Robert J Herschler (former
Applications Research for the Chemical Products Division of Crown
Zellerbach Corp., Camas, Washington (circa 1960-1971).
Without going into great and/or excruiating detail, I will
simply say that; to my knowledge NO HUMAN BEING HAS EVER DIED AS A DIRECT
RESULT OF TOXICITY FROM DMSO! I am familiar with dozens of inuendos,
spins, slanted journalism, etc., articles in the alleopathic press
outlets----but not one actual, proveable, documented case involving a
post-mortem substantiation. Do understand, we do not have access to all
of the medical journal literature, world-wide, but to a large part
thereof. Only one case of published "documentation",
so-called.......have I seen personally. It was a reference in "Lancet",
the respected British journal; and the article claimed that an Irish
woman had died of complications caused by the use of DMSO. Strangely,
however, there was no corroborating medical documentation of an objective
nature.
Dr. Jacob was involved directly, and indirectly, in
observing the effects of DMSO on----literally----thousands of patients.
He reports NOT A SINGLE CASE of toxic-induced death. Actually, he
reported NO CASES of toxic reaction----at all----from the DMSO itself.
I am totally bewildered by the, almost, total absence of
knowledge by the lay-public, about what DMSO ACTUALLY IS and what its
mechanism of action is........and its TRACK RECORD as a benign substance
in a --SOLITARY--setting.
There are a number of books on DMSO; one by Dr. William
C. Douglass, M.D. is quite good. However, the most informative (but
somewhat dated in portions) is a 1973 publication, "The Persecuted
Drug--The Story of DMSO ", by Pat McGrady, Sr. The book can,
frequently, be found at Half-Priced book stores and is well worth
reading....it is well-written, accurately informative and
well-documented. It will reveal the true---and complete---history of
DMSO up to 1973.
Due to continuing institutionalized resistance since that
time, very little constructive research has transpired within the
conventional medical community (NONE).
It is difficult for me to be completely objective about this
situation, as my feelings become quite visceral when I reflect upon the
past occurrences/treatment of this substance----and its
derivations......by the FDA, AMA, The Captive Press, etc.
I make no personal recommendations as to the efficacy of DMSO,
MSM, or
related compounds; but will inform you that in nearly 35 years of use,
both in vitro and in vivo, on a wide variety of mammals.....including
myself.....I have never observed ANY toxic reactions directly attributable
to DMSO as a "stand-alone substance". It can, however, enhance the
toxicity of other substances, simply because of its nature as a superb
transporter/solvent/surface-tension reducer and organic emulsifier.
Our research has indicated that the mode of operation for
DMSO and MSM is identical. Additionally, the purity standards are
identical for veterinary and human useages. We use it on "our animals",
both externally and internally----primarily as a carrier for other
substances and in joint-lubricant enhancing protocols.
A departing admonition, if I may----the next time someone
relates an off-hand, "sidewalk-consultation" about ANY controversial
substance, just ask them to produce the data or to identify their
source......in some detail. You will, in most cases, be met with a
deafening wall of silence.
Please forgive the "over-kill" in my response; but this,
particular, subject does strike a nerve in my psyche.
I do hope there is some useful information within
this epistle.
Sincerely. Brooks Bradley.
