These are the New YorkAcademy of Sciences and TheCancer Control Society. Both ofthese organizations are known forproviding honest, have known Archie Scott since1976. He did not introduce us toDMSO, but he did provide practicalknowledge in how to use DMSO toimprove daily life. Further, heprovided the inspiration to share theknowledge with family, friends the years since we met, wehave increased our knowledgeexponentially from discussions andcollaboration with Archie.

5 Hisknowledge of the compound istremendous. His practicalapplications in the clinical settingare well-known to physicians in theUnited States and Mexico, plusnumerous other countries around theglobe. Archie is among the top twoor three world-wide sources forvaluable, accurate informationrelated to DMSO, its properties, itsuses and its applications in theclinic, home and work volume is designed to be ofbenefit to clinician, researcher andultimate consumer. It contains thereferences necessary to satisfy themedical professional and technicalinformation so the practicingphysician can administer DMSO tohis patients. Every emergency roomshould have this book in order tosave lives from a wide variety ofmedical conditions. The use ofDMSO in veterinarian medicine iswell-known and accepted.

6 It is timefor human medicine to adopt its nearmiraculous benefits without thenegative effects associated withtoxic and potentially fatalpharmaceutical bottle of DMSO should be in thelocker room of every athletic facilityand First Aid Kit of every athleticCoach and Trainer.

His raisond etre is to alleviate suffering andadvance scientific knowledge. Webelieve this compact volume will doboth. Frank CousineauPresident, Life SupportPresident, Cancer Control SocietyPresident, International Associationof Cancer Victors and FriendsMay 2013 Chapter 1 IntroductionDimethyl sulfoxide, commonlycalled DMSO, has been describedby its supporters (nearly everyonewho has ever used it) as a truemedical miracle.

7 It has been used inthe treatment of hundreds of ailmentsthat afflict people throughout theworld. In fact, by itself, or incombination with other medications,DMSO has proven useful in thetreatment of practically everymedical problem is DMSO? It is a naturalchemical compound derived fromtrees as a by-product from themanufacturing of paper. It iscomposed of two methyl groups(CH3) and a sulfur and an oxygenatom. It was first synthesized by aRussian chemist, Alexander Zaytsev,in 1866. For over eighty yearsDMSO was basically the late 1940s industrialchemists started investigating thesolvent capabilities of solvents were needed, andthere was interest in utilizing treederived waste development ofDMSO was started in the Zellerbach, a large Americanpaper manufacturing company,started producing DMSO during thistime and became the largestproducer of DMSO in the world.

8 Atthis time Robert J. Herschler was thesupervisor of applications researchin the chemical products division ofthe Crown Zellerbach plant inCamas, Washington, which is acrossthe Columbia River from OregonHealth Sciences University. As achemist Mr. Herschler conductedresearch on DMSO and other treederived W. Jacob, was headof the organ transplant team at theUniversity of Oregon MedicalSchool which is now called OregonHealth Sciences University. Heneeded a way to preserve transplantorgans at a low temperature withoutthe formation of ice crystals. Variousproducts and procedures were triedwithout success. Before DMSO there was no way to preserve organswithout the formation of ice crystalswhich killed the 1961 Dr. Jacob and RobertHerschler met for the first time, andDr. Jacob was introduced to the anti-freeze capabilities of DMSO.

9 Thepreservation of transplant organs isstill one of the many uses of 100% DMSO will freeze at66 degrees, a 50% mixture ofDMSO and water will not freeze attemperatures far below the freezingpoint of straight Jacob soon discovered thatDMSO had many other propertiesthat would later prove to makeDMSO one of the most importantmedical products ever a few of these properties, oreven one by itself, could makeDMSO an important product in thetreatment of a wide variety ofconditions. When all theseproperties are combined in onesubstance, we have a truly has been described by as a new medical principle. Itis a substance that is totally strangeto medical science. Its mode ofaction is not completely understood,and it is used to treat some ailmentsthat have long been considered asuntreatable.

10 Also, because of itsdistinctive odor, it is very difficult toconduct double blind studies withDMSO. However, it is alwayspossible to have studies involvingDMSO where the results arecompared to current treatment. As anexample, if a disease at a certainstage has an expected mortality rateof 80% within one year, and there isa 10% mortality rate for thosetreated with DMSO, it shows thatDMSO is a successful treatment. Ifthe mortality rate stays in the 80 %range, it shows no , commonlycalled MSM, is a product that isderived from DMSO. MSM hasmany of the properties of DMSO, butis generally regarded as a foodsupplement. It has not been subjectto the medical studies of DMSO andis not considered to be as effectiveas DMSO in treating most , it also does not cause thepatient to have the garlic-like is one of the mostpowerful free radical scavengersknown.
