COURIER-POST, Sunday, October 19, 1380 Word of 'miracle customers disagreed. "Dr. Jacobs has said there are no serious side effects," saidTCen Doney fronj-his University of Oregon Medical School of ice in Portland. He said much of the FDA's hesitancy ij) approving DMSO is because "DMSO do ByRICHARDO PIMENTEL Gannett News Service CABAZON, Calif. The people flocking to Sonny Miller's Morongo Indian Reservation smokeshop near here have something in common.

They are in intense pain or know someone for whom available remedies have not brought relief. Mostly old people or relatives of the elderly, they have come seeking dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). They've been spurred by media coverage of the industrial solvent that has been both heralded as a "miracle drug" and blasted as quackery. Many say they are here as a last resort. The Federal Food and Drug Administration has withheld approval of the substance's use for arthritis and bursitis treatment, but that hasn't stopped the cus tomers from traveling many miles to purchase DMSO.

Miller sells it as a degreaser a substance used by auto mechanics and other workers to clean grease from their hands. What people do with their degreaser after they buy it is their own business, the FDA has said. "I tried acupuncture," said a 73-year-old Cathedral City woman who suffers from osteoarthritis and didn't want her name to be used. "And I've spent a lot of money." She thinks DMSO is a bargain. She said she was limping and in pain because of an arthritic knee.

Shortly after applying DMSO, she said, she felt less pain and was able to move around freely. Miller said he's deluged with such testimonies all day. But he still insists he's only selling a degreaser. "A lot of them complain that the treat ment they get at the doctor's is worse than the arthritis pain," he said. "It costs them $30 to walk in the door, $15 for a shot and $15 or a prescription." Miller warns customers to be wary of unscrupulous dealers.

He said several people have told him that they saw DMSO advertised in magazines, sent away for it and never got any response. The Arthritis Foundation in Atlanta, meanwhile, is issuing strict warnings against the substance. In a paper titled "DMSO: A Look at the Facts," Dr. Frederic C. McDuffie, the foundation's senior vice president for medical affairs and a rheumatologist, said that use of the suBstance is risky.

"DMSO has been hailed as a miracle treatment for conditions ranging from sprains to arthritis to black eyes, but there is no adequate scientific evidence that it has any effect beyond being a mild pain reliever," he said. DMSO generally comes in foilr strengths 50, 70, 90, and 100 percent solutions. The 50 percent solution is used by doctors conducting approved arthritis and bursitis treatment tests, McDuffie said. The 90 percent solution is used in veterinary the 100 percent solution is an industrial solvent. The two strongest solutions are what is generally sold on the street, he said.

Highly concentrated DMSO potentially contains impurities that could also be carried into the blood stream. McDuffie cited incidences of nausea, headaches, skin rash and the possibility of eye damage he said can come from DMSO use. But a spokesman for Dr. Stanley Jacobs, who has done a great deal of DMSO research, not lend itself to the traditional blind- study." 9 He defined a blind study as one in which neither the doctor nor the patient knows', what is being administered the real or a placebo. DMSO's odor is a dead away.hesaid.

Doney added that the FDA is working with -1 two drug research nrms to aevelop guide? lines for some sort of control study. The only negative effects from DMSO. which Doney dismisses. as minor, are bad breath and possible skin irritation if the is strong enough. 2A flocking drug brings liberal ACLU rates Congress less The Delaware Valley and South Jersey TODAY: Mostly cloudy with occasional showers.

"During the last two years Congress has reflected the increasing insecurity of a public pressed by inflation, confused by foreign affairs and longing for simpler times," John Shattuck, the ACLU's legislative director, said in releasing the ratings yesterday. Shattuck said this insecurity has resulted in "hostility to minority rights, the drive to put prayer in public schools, the revival of draft registration and the move to unleash the CIA." The ACLU, which rated senators and representatives on the basis of votes on measures of importance to liberals, gave perfect scores of 100 percent to 17 House members but no senators. Scores of zero were given to two House members and one senator. The ACLU gave 89 members of the House and 17 senators liberal ratings of more than 80 percent The 100 percent scores in the House went to Reps.

The second most frequently cited problem was that the business community, financial institutions and potential customers have difficulty taking women business owners seriously, she said. She noted that almost half the respondents were single, widowed or divorced. Some of the businesses owned by the 140 women who responded were a marina, an oil company, a sewage disposal design firm and an escort service for oversize highway loads, Ms. Weathersby said. She said about 63 percent of those who responded started their business after 1972.

She said 60 percent employed from one to four people, about 5 percent employed 30 or more.
