                                      Dear Jules, 
                                  I will attempt to address your question 
through the following explanations. 
                  However, before I address the issue of possible toxicity, I 
wish to make an observation relative to the unbridled attacks taken against 
DMSO...demonizing it as a virtual pariah in chemical clothing.  Both I and 
several staff members, have, during the past several years, observed posts by 
several different individuals proclaiming "dire threats" against human 
health---resplendent with direct (but undocumented) claims of liver and kidney 
afflictions.  I hereby go on record to the extent that ----neither I, nor any 
of our staff,  have during the past nine years of research involving 
DMSO....become aware of a SINGLE fatality due to the effects of DMSO.  This, in 
light of the millions of people world-wide, who have utilized this substance 
both internally and externally.........for the past 35 years.  A contention 
shared by Dr. Stanley Jacob. 
                      I will not dignify such irresponsible statements as your 
tormentor issued......by offering such blatant ignorance any form of 
explanation.  All persons (we have had any correspondence with) who have made 
such scurrilous statments, have in EVERY case failed to supply a SINGLE 
authoritative study substantiating such untruths.  I am not contending that 
there are not instances where compromising consequences arose from protocols 
involving DMSO as a participant----just that WE are unaware of them. 
                      As I am sure you are aware, anyone can say almost 
anything on the Internet (that is not directly libelous) without fear of being 
brought to consequences.  In your own case, I would just politely ask for the 
person's substantiating citations which bulwark his comments. 
                      Having to consume useful time and effort to rebut the 
effects of such inflamatory nonsense always dismays me.  But duty demands I 
must. 
                          The modus I choose is to give you a quote from none 
other that the acknowledged  world-class "expert" relative to the use, effects 
and SAFETY, of  DMSO----Stanley Jacob, M.D.  Dr. Jacob has made an intensive 
study...and implementation of DMSO over the past 35 years.  In the face of 
overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the FDA...to this day....has refused to 
endorse DMSO....suggesting that it  "may have LONG-TERM side effects in 
humans".  This in face of 
  the fact that we know of NO currently approved (within the past 35 years) FDA 
drug which has been utilized by even a fraction of this extensive a 
population----BEFORE BEING APPROVED. 
                          I will shorten this diatribe by quoting a passage 
from Robert Herschler and Dr. Jacob's own book  "DMSO, The Pain KIller".    
Starting on page 124:  "I don't blame anybody for being cautious about any new 
substance, says Stanley Jacob, "and this includes DMSO.  But we have to look at 
the record.  No drug that I know of has been subjected to more studies designed 
to determine how safe it is, and the bottom line is:  in nearly twenty years, 
with millions of people using DMSO throughout the world, there has yet to be 
one well-document instance of DMSO producing a lethal toxic effect.  I've been 
taking DMSO myself nearly every day since 1963.  I've given it to my chlidren.  
I'm not saying that DMSO doesn"t have side effects," he explains.  "There is no 
drug that doesn't have some side effects.  But the side effects of DMSO are 
very mild compared to most other drugs---including aspirin.  I will match the 
safety record of DMSO against any therapeutic substance in medicine" 
                                  I hope my prejudicial comments have been of 
some value to your ruminations over your dilema. 
                                                      Sincerely,  Brooks 
Bradley.

    Guys, 
    I'd like to try some of the DMSO based protocols I've seen here for various 
    maladies....BUT - I want to know why I should use a chemical solvent that 
is 
    known, based on the MSDS, to cause liver and kidney damage?  I've heard 
good 
    reports, but I need some reassurance.  Brooks, please comment! (Everyone 
else 
    too) 

    May the best of what you wish for be the worst of what you get, 

    Jules
