As a Pharmacist since the advent of FDA, I've been around and attempted to understand some of their terribly mistaken Bureaucratic Abuses. I agree with your observation and assessment that our FDA has harrassed Dr. Jacob for years without any understanding or mercy. The FDA Director and a couple of MD henchmen passed inhuman rulings and influenced our legislators to kill DMSO in these United States. The Pharmaceutical Companies who took part in researching DMSO were told by the FDA Director in so many words, "Forget about DMSO if you EVER want to get another New Drug Approved!" Extreme Pity! I recognize DMSO and CS as 2 special Gifts from God to help mankind without impoverishing them. I sincerely believe that there has never been a death from responsible use of either. Most of the rest of the world have been enjoying the health-giving benefits of DMSO & CS. Sincerely, Richard Harris, 56 yr FL Pharmacist -----Original Message----- From: M. G.

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.
