... for the combatants to return to their corners, lick their wounds, 
and maybe actually crack a book or visit the library -- or make proper 
use of Google.

I don't own a copy of Walker's book, though I think it was one of the 
ones I read a year or two back (from the library) when I was getting 
familiar with DMSO.

So, does the book give actual journal references to back up the claims? 
Anybody actually *looked* to see? Called them up on Medline or ordered 
the journals up via inter-library loan? It might require some work, 
since most of the "good stuff" is likely to date from before the FDA 
got stupid about it.

Apart from that, I expect that most of us have outgrown our insistence 
on double-blind controlled studies on statistically significant 
populations. If that were the only trustworthy standard we might as 
well close down this list right now and give up on colloidal silver... 
'Cause there just aren't many people in the world willing to shell out 
many millions of dollars to "prove" that CS does what we all know that 
it does.  

Given the way DMSO has been treated by our government, it would hardly 
surprise me that few large scale studies have been done in this country 
over the last 40 years since the FDA squashed it. I do wonder about 
activity in other countries, however...

Lastly, I'd appreciate it if you folks would keep your attitudes and 
keyboards in check. The resentments you're expressing seems to have too 
much to do with personal dislike and too little with our mission of 
seeing people get help for what ails them.

You don't have to like each other. You do have to treat each other with 
respect on this list. That goes of *all* of you, Nina, "Stuff", Garnet, 
and whomever else I've forgotten to mention.

Be well,
