It can happen. DMSO & MSM both can cause rapid intense detoxification. My initial detox from taking MSM 5 years ago was a really wild ride, 3 months long. After it was over and my life began to improve dramatically, I was filled with evangelistic zeal for it and began to proselytize everyone in sight. I wrongly assumed it was the thing for everyone to jump into headfirst. One Saturday I gave some to my middle daughter, who was 14 at that time. Within minutes she was partially blind- but it was a graying out, not a blacking out of her vision. We freaked and got our Eye Doc to meet us at his office. That took an hour and it was all over by then. I never gave her MSM again, I don't know if she's ever taken it again yet. Fast forward to last year: She moved out to an apartment (musty) to go to college 45 miles away. She began having partial blindness spells. Long story short- It was Opthalmic Migraine. We cured it with an M-state preparation, no episodes now in about 8 months after having had them once or twice a week for 2-3 months. A cyber-friend sent me his (non-medical) opinion that migraine is an allergic reaction. I have edited that document and will send it to anyone who wants it. Remember folks- taking responsibility for your own health is not always a bed of roses. Roses have thorns. Daddybob
