Question:
Have a look at the book DMSO, Nature’s Healer by Dr. Morton Walker. I’ve used DMSO for acute injuries, such as sprains and tendinitis with incredible success. This is the most miraculous substance I know of and it works instantaneously on injuries. It is used as a matter of course in veterinary medicine. Unfortunately, the FDA has only approved it for interstitial cystitis (and probably never will).
Isn’t that because it can also cause cataracts? There’s no way to do double blind studies as it’s quite obvious what’s being used because of the taste you get in your mouth as it’s absorbed into the bloodstream.
There are other ways to test effectiveness, even when you can’t do a double-blind study. These are my opinions only, but they’re almost always correct. "After all, this is still the land of opportunity. If you know where to look." – Jack Douglas

There’s no way to do double blind studies as it’s quite obvious what’s being used because of the taste you get in your mouth as it’s absorbed into the bloodstream. There’s also the problem that it’s incredibly cheap and effective, so no pharmaceutical companies stand to make a huge profit on it. DMSO is made from trees and is a by-product of the paper making industry. It’s also a solvent. The downside is that it can itch while it’s being absorbed (about 20 minutes) and can dry out your skin (temporary). It gives you garlicky breath, so it’s wise to keep your distance while using it! One of the problems with DMSO’s acceptance is that it’s just too damn good, making a lot of people skeptical. Also have a look at these two linked web sites. One of them is by Dr. Stanley Jacobs: http://www.dmso.org/information/index.html and http://www.dmso.org/index.html It contains an enormous amount of information on DMSO and quite a bit on schleroderma. Dr. Jacob is mentioned frequently in Morton Walker’s book and is one of the leading researchers in this field.

Hi, Dave — - Andrew Weil in "Spontaneous Healing" describes a patient who apparently healed himself, taking enormous doses of Vitamin E among other things; worth reading about. - There’s a link at my site (http://www.wellnow.com/there.html, and look for the Scleroderma heading) to information on Dr. Stanley Jacobs’ work with DMSO and benefits to scleroderma. If you’ll click on the "mailto" link at Jacobs’ site, you’ll likely find yourself corresponding with the woman who handles his mail — and who has scleroderma herself so can speak from her own experience. - There have been several recent reports of significant benefit to scleroderma with the liquid shark cartilage extract made by Allergy Research company; results have been such that a double-blind study is being proposed, in which, probably, the material would be given by IV or injection rather than orally (though oral supplementation is what’s involved in the case reports so far). Well Now(sm) Health Information & Ferret Corps(sm) Services have no fees, but they’re not "free". We ask that each pay according to the value of what s/he receives, based on what s/he feels s/he truly can afford. In this way we need never turn anyone away, and folks who can pay more may know they have helped their neighbors who can pay just a little.
