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.
