ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENTS

DMSO

DMSO, used extensively by arthritis sufferers, is an anti-inflammatory that has been shown clinically to relieve pain, increase circulation, repair tissue damage, stop the growth of bacteria and fungi, soothe burns, enlarge small blood vessels, soften scar tissue, and fight degenerative diseases. The FDA has banned its use in medicine, though we are told that some physicians do employ it.

In tests on rats with cancer, DMSO was mixed with hematoxylon, and because the admixture was dyed, they were able to show that it had an affinity for the tumors only. A lymphosarcoma is surrounded by a protoplasm intended to feed the tumor, and it was discovered that the DMSO-hematoxylon mixture wiped out this protoplasm thus starving the tumor.

DMSO aids in the penetration of any substance to which it is added.

DMSO is used by Dr Donsbach at his Hospital Santa Monica (www.hospitalsantamonica.com) for much more than cancer, and he reports his patients respond quite well. [Donsbach, Kurt, DC, ND, PhD. Wholistic Cancer Therapy. San Diego: The Rockland Corporation, 1993] Donsbach feels that DMSO assists all the other therapies and agents he employs, and it is one therapy he administers to everyone with cancer: DMSO and hydrogen peroxide infusions. He also mentions a study at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital where mice with leukemia were injected with DMSO and the leukemic cells began for function normally.

The FDA outlaws DMSO for two reasons: the first being that it is a solvent, and they do not know how to handle a substance that can be both a medicine and something you use to clean engine parts; the second reason , according the book DMSO—Nature's Healer by Dr Morton Walker, animal studies showed that injections of DMSO caused dogs to go blind. The FDA jumped on this and stopped its use. Later it was discovered that only in dogs does it cause blindness, but like the ban on L-tryptophan, once it's there, heaven and earth will have to be moved to clear it.

We should mention here that there is an organization of physicians who, though they might or might not recommend DMSO therapies, are up on the latest studies on its use and can provide you with this information. The organization is the American College of Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) and you can reach their main office at (800) 532-3688 or visit their web site at http://www.acam.org.
