No...one person did go blind and almost caused DMSO to be taken off the market totally. This all happened when they first learned of its properties to relieve inflammation (and pain) in arthritis which is how it was usually used. People would rub it on sore joints. It wasn't rabbits. However since there have been few if any problems with DMSO in the last 30 years it suggests that DMSO wasn't the etiology of the blindness anyway.
This is much like the study of Ivomectin in animals. In the studies of 10,000 or so dogs...1 collie died. So it is not approved for collies. However...the average age of the whole group was higher than that expected for the number of animals studied and the length of the study...so in effect they could have added the wording "Extends lifespan" if they so desired and would have been correct as far as the research was concerned. And, the collie might well have died a natural death rather than it being caused by the drug. This is a problem with any study, is it not? ======================================================= I believe that is oncorrect, I don't recall that any human has ever had eye problems from DMSO let alone gone blind. I think that info was actually from a flawed study in rabbits. But I'm going from memory here, I can look it up if you don't have the book. sol David W Kenney wrote: >When DMSO first became popular years ago...as a local treatment for >arthritis...they did some preliminary studies...and one person went blind. >I haven't heard that anyone repeated these studies to find out whether that >person was going blind anyway or whether it was caused by the DMSO. > > > > -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
