Is DMSO a miracle drug? Some very persuasive case histories here, but no evidence that medicine or Big Pharma are willing to accept (maybe because it isn't patentable?). Widely used in Europe for a variety of ailments. Interesting enough for me to get some (it's inexpensive) and experiment on myself. Definitely helped relieve longstanding itching in my ears, and relief of minor burns.

Well written and referenced. Dr. Morton Walker is a medical doctor, and the book is written from that perspective. Meaning lots of information on the history and legal status of DMSO in the US, and its use in treating various conditions. While not so much on the biochemistry side.

Could not find the information I needed or wanted to help me and provide me information on how to use DMSO and dosages.

What an amazing substance, with so many attributes that can aid in so many things. And of course, some diving into the dubious practices of the FDA, never a surprise there. I planned on reading multiple books on this particular subject, but this book is so very thorough on history, clinical trials, uses, dosages and compounds, I might be able to primarily use this one.

Easy to see why the FDA and the big Pharma boys don’t want DMSO available across the board!!!

Excellent book. Explains the history of DMSO, uses for multiple ailments. I recommend it if you are open to going beyond the medical system.
