DMSO, like hydrogen peroxide and EDTA, is almost too good to believe. To be fully accepted, a therapy must have the general support of doctors. We have given over to these people the responsibility to know the difference between legitimate medicine and quack medicine. What we fail to take into consideration is that doctors are business people and, as such and correctly so they are interested in the bottom line. Income minus expenses equals profits.
Profits allow the business of medicine to go forward.
If you go out of business, it doesn't matter how pure your motives are, you cannot do good for many people. DMSO, like hydrogen peroxide and EDTA , are not big money makers. So doctors, with some exceptions, do not spend much time learning about or recommending them. People who benefit from these therapies are those who take the time to educate themselves and who think for themselves. Thinking for oneself is not exactly the national pastime.
