As I recall from Dr. Jacob's book, or another I read, the cause of the FDA's action was that DMSO was starting to get too popular. People were starting to use it in large numbers outside of clinical control and the FDA, which had just received new powers to regulate things decided to flex its muscles. It was a political action motivated by power and control issues at FDA rather than pharmaceutical company greed. I believe the FDA director at the time was personally involved and made stopping DMSO one of his pet projects. It was a grudge issue for him. That's what I remember from my reading a couple of years ago, anyway. Be well, Mike D.
