The FDA's War Against DMSO and America. The Forgotten History That Led to the FDA Again and Again Keeping the Things We Most Desperately Need Away From Us. By A Midwestern Doctor (10/27/24)
From AMD’s Introduction
Over the last month, I have been diligently working to alert the public to the decades of evidence demonstrating the remarkable therapeutic potential of DMSO. In turn, quite a few of my colleagues have shared patients are now asking them about DMSO, and a few are shifting their practice to focus on it (e.g., Pierre Kory has done so and is already having numerous amazing results).
The article briefly reviews (and links) the many benefits of DMSO such as:
Could have spared millions from a life of disability or paralysis had it been adopted.
Works for chronic pain, wounds (e.g., burns or surgical incisions), injuries (e.g., sports injuries) and all types of chronic pain.
Highly effective for treating challenging autoimmune disorders.
Highly effective for treating connective tissue issues such as scars and adhesions, collagen contractures, scleroderma, FOP.
Can treat otherwise classically untreatable protein misfolding diseases (e.g., amyloidosis) and genetic disorders (e.g., Down Syndrome).
Incredibly safe, has only a limited number of known and manageable side effects, and no risk of toxicity or death when used appropriately.
One of the most researched medical substances in history, with thousands of studies demonstrating both the safety and efficacy.
AMD then focuses on how the FDA conducted a war against DMSO. Those who read this lengthy chronicle — which is well worth your time — will see the FDA has used the same playbook against DMSO that it used against safe and effective treatments like Vitamin D, Zinc, antibiotics, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine while pushing unsafe and ineffective COVID19 jabs, remdesivir, and Paxlovid — to name just a few COVID-era examples.

What Can Be Done?
Don’t give FDA people too much power as it will always be misused.
Get a good balance between keeping dangerous products off the market and not cutting the public’s access to questionable products they want. (Very challenging due to lobbyists and media.)
Realize that the FDA's task (ensuring all food and drug products on the market are safe and effective) is too much for them to do properly. This creates “selective prosecution” where the FDA focuses on what’s easy (attacking natural products) or delegating drug evaluation to a large pharmaceutical company.
FDA justifies its existence and power by saying it protects the public from harmful substances. They failed in this role by injecting two egregiously harmful products — mRNA and HPV vaccines — into massive numbers of people, to name just two examples.
The recent Chevron defense Supreme Court ruling — which removed court support for Federal Agencies interpreting ambiguous Congressional laws as they saw fit — may be our best defense against FDA over-reach in the future.
Conclusions
We now exist in a society where anyone who deviates from the established narrative is quickly cut off from their economic livelihood (e.g., dissidents simply cannot get the grants they depend upon for research and doctors will often lose the ability to practice medicine), and like Goddard envisioned, they are all frightened into compliance.
In turn, much of the science we create now isn’t that useful; rather its just small refinements of an existing paradigm (which won’t upset anyone) rather than a new therapeutic (or scientific) principle that radically improves our lives.
…many doctors believe the biggest mistake their profession made was giving their power away to corporate medicine where they are forced to prioritize how their employer wants them to treat their patients over what’s actually it their patient’s best interests (e.g., consider what we saw throughout COVID-19). Here, I would argue that shift actually began with Goddard’s work to whip the entire medical profession into line, and that what we saw throughout the pandemic was simply the next escalation in a multi-generational plan.
