(1993, 340 pages, softcover) - DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a simple by-product of wood. DMSO has been called a "miracle" drug capable of relieving pain, diminishing swelling, reducing inflammation, encouraging healing, and restoring normal function. In this new work, award-winning health science writer Dr. Morton Walker examines the powerful and compelling case for the use of DMSO in the treatment of many debilitating diseases and health-related problems. Dr. Walker traces the history of DMSO, citing documented cases of its near-awesome use in the healing and prevention of a host of health disorders including arthritis, stroke, cancer, mental retardation, and sports and auto injuries. Dr. Walker also recounts the dramatic story of DMSO's long struggle for FDA approval.
