Claim:
1. A method of decreasing protein-aldehyde adducts in a human animal diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, said method comprising: administering to the human animal an organosulfur composition comprising an effective amount of a mixed disulfide of a lipophilic mercaptan disulfide bonded to N-acetylcysteine, wherein the mixed disulfide is bonded as a two to one salt with a divalent cation; said lipophilic mercaptan selected from the group consisting of propyl mercaptan and propenyl mercaptan; wherein said lipophilic mercaptan reacts with an aldehyde within the myelin sheath of said animal, said aldehyde being in the form of an aldehyde or in the form of a protein-aldehyde adduct, to produce a molecular conjugate of said lipophilic mercaptan and said aldehyde; thereby decreasing protein-aldehyde adducts in the human animal.
