In December 1999, Kansas, a high school football coach was charged by the board after a whistleblower reported him for using something called "Dave Meadow's Special Ointment" on his students. He was accused of rubbing it on his state championship players after practice. The board launched an investigation. The local press covered it as a scandal. But Coach Dave Meadows didn't deny it. Because the truth was, it worked. "Dave Meadow's Special Ointment" was a nickname for 'DMSO' — a compound stamped "not for human use" on every bottle. Sold at Tractor Supply as painkillers for horses. ==== But Kansas was just the small end of the story. Because at the exact same time, in NFL locker rooms across the country, professional athletes with access to the best sports medicine in the world were doing the exact same thing. Going to veterinarians or farm supply stores to get it. Because they couldn't get it from doctors. Tony Casillas — defensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl teams of the 1990s — admitted DMSO was standard in NFL locker rooms during his career. Players sourced it from vets. Kept it in their lockers. Used it on sports injuries the team doctors couldn't fix fast enough. Frank Wycheck — tight end for the Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans — used it in 1995 to manage injuries through training camp when nothing else was keeping him on the field. Oakland Raiders players Daryle Lamonica, Jim Otto, and Ben Davidson all acknowledged using it throughout their careers. Said the only side effect was the smell. Rotten garlic on your breath for a few hours. A small price to pay, for the best pain relief money could buy. And then in 1981, Atlanta Falcons quarterback June Jones walked into the Georgia House of Representatives — not to talk about football, but to testify before the state legislature that DMSO should be legalized for human use. He'd used it himself. He'd seen what it did. And he was angry enough about the FDA ban to go on record before a state government and say so. ==== But here's the thing. It wasn't just athletes. By the 1970s and 80s, DMSO had become one of the worst-kept secrets in America. Construction workers keeping a bottle in their toolbox for the knees at the end of a long week. Horse trainers who noticed their own arthritis felt better. Coaches passing it down to other coaches. Athletes using it for their own joint pain & muscle stiffness, years after retirement. Something sold next to the horse feed worked better than any patented painkiller their doctor gave them for joint pain. Surgeons used it. Arthritis patients used it. Veterans with joint damage from years of service used it. Farmers, construction workers, anyone whose body had taken a physical beating over decades. Not because a doctor recommended it. Because someone they trusted handed them a bottle and said try it. And it worked. This was an open secret that the medical establishment couldn't fully suppress because it wasn't coming from doctors or researchers anymore. Just a raw passion & appreciation for this organic mineral, relieving joint pain & stiff muscles that painkillers just couldn't beat. ==== So what the heck was DMSO anyway, that it had to be kept hidden!? DMSO is natural, organic sulfur - a byproduct of wood pulping. Nobody could patent it. Nobody could own it. Nobody could make billions from it. Under the justification of eye damage in animal testing, after giving beagle dogs 100 to 500 times the dose that would ever be given to a human — the FDA halted all clinical use in 1965. Millions who had their lives changed lost their greatest source of relief overnight. DMSO disappeared from medical education. Erased from textbooks. Declared outdated and unscientific. While 125 countries, including Canada, Germany, Great Britain, and Japan — prescribed it openly for arthritis, joint pain, and musculoskeletal conditions. And over 11,000 scientific articles confirmed its effects. Meanwhile, the FDA quietly used it off-label in brain surgery and organ preservation, when truly nothing else worked. They know it works. They just won't let your doctor mention it for your joints. ==== However, 3 weeks after the Kansas school board launched their investigation into Coach Dave Meadows in 1999... Dr. Stanley Jacob responsed - he published a book, called "The Miracle of MSM". Published in 1999. For those who don't know, Dr. Stanley Jacob was the primary researcher at the University of Oregon - the main authority on all things organic sulfur, such as DMSO. And he published a book on MSM -- also known as DMSO₂, the oxidized, stabler form of DMSO - right as it fell into the crosshairs of the law. What was this? Well, it turned out Dr. Stanley Jacob discovered 2 things. 1️⃣ Firstly - that when you rubbed DMSO into your joints, the same way athletes did - it oxidized into DMSO₂ (MSM) in your body. Unlike DMSO, MSM is naturally used in the body to store sulfur, in the joints & muscles. That's where the long-term relieving benefits came from. 2️⃣ When this reaction happens, it also produced a foul, putrid gas called DMS - which would be expelled from the body, through your mouth. That was the "awful garlic stench" when it was used on your joints. ==== Dr. Stanley Jacob decided to try the oxidized product MSM, and administered it directly to the joints, the same way he did DMSO. He discovered the following advantages of MSM, over DMSO: 🧴 It didn't risk leaching chemicals or dyes if your skin was unclean. 👃 It didn't stink due to the absence of the garlic-smelling DMS gas. ⏳ MSM lasts for 480 hours (20 days!) inside the body - 4 times longer than DMSO, binding and replenishing the joints & cartilage. He had spent years watching what DMSO did in patients - and finally, MSM was a form that could deliver the same benefits while being safe enough for everyday use. And the studies kicked in: 🔬 A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published on PubMed confirmed it improved knee quality of life in patients with mild knee pain. 🧪 A Japanese research team confirmed it suppressed the cellular process that causes joint cells to die. 🟢 Its ability to inhibit inflammatory enzymes inside joint cells became one of the most documented mechanisms in topical joint research. MSM is the modern evolution of the DMSO that NFL players, coaches, and ordinary Americans were quietly reaching for since the 1970s. All the benefits, without smelling like garlic or accidentally burning yourself. ==== While DMSO was largely used for pain relief, MSM was an entirely new thing altogether. Dr. Jacob and his colleagues had stumbled onto an new category of pain relief. 🧴 A "topical supplement". Topical MSM didn't just relieve pain the same way DMSO did. Over extended periods of time, as quoted from "The Miracle of MSM", Dr. Stanley Jacob himself observed cases where long-term pain subsided due to continued use of MSM. -- (The Miracle of MSM, p. 13) "My mother started taking the pills and also applied an MSM lotion to her knees. Within two or three months, much of her pain was gone and she was able to kneel again in church. She hasn't complained about pain since." (The Miracle of MSM, p. 18) "Well, I didn't have to take any more medicine," said Sherrick, who had been taking pain medication continually up until then. Two months after her treatment, Wallace and his camera crew revisited Sherrick at her home. "The pain is gone," she told them. The pain is totally, completely gone from my neck." -- A little known fact - over 50% of those with as late as stage 4 osteoarthritis - actually experience ZERO pain. Beginning with just 90 days of MSM... These people opened a gateway to long-lived, pain-free mobility & joint health. ==== And then researchers asked the next question. MSM penetrates the skin - but unlike DMSO, it doesn't let everything else penetrate indiscriminately, such as chemicals, dirt or contaminants. This means combination therapies & remedies can finally be applied with it, without the same worry that made DMSO potentially dangerous. For joint health, this changes everything. 🌊 Magnesium chloride — arthritic joints are measurably depleted in magnesium as well as sulfur. Magnesium activates the enzymes responsible for cartilage repair. Relaxes muscles. Promotes sleep. Restores the joint environment that inflammation has disrupted. 🏵️ Arnica montana — the European herb studied to rival ibuprofen gel for topical pain and swelling relief. Without the gut damage. Without the kidney strain. 🌳 Frankincense essential oils — shut off the inflammatory signal at the source. Aromatic and therapeutic for consistent at-home relief. 🌸 Lavender — calms the nervous system. Promotes deep restorative sleep. Reduces the cortisol that amplifies pain signals overnight. ==== What happens if you use MSM with magnesium and other soothing botanicals for your joint pain? Here's what to expect in your first 90 days: 🌙 Week 1 — The nights get quieter The 3am wake-up from the aching starts to settle. Not gone. But noticeably quieter. 🚶 Week 2 — The mornings change The stiffness that used to take an hour to work through starts clearing in 10 minutes. You start getting out of bed without the ritual. 📉 Month 1 — Painkiller use starts dropping Morning stiffness is measurably reduced. Movement is less painful. Most people have already reduced their painkiller use without consciously trying. 🛌 Month 2 — Sleep and flexibility return Flexibility improves. Sleep is consistently better. The joint that used to announce itself with every step goes quieter. 💊 Month 3 — This is where it compounds Three months of consistent mineral replenishment. The sulfur and magnesium stores in your joints are rebuilding what years of arthritis depleted. Most people at this point have either significantly reduced or completely stopped their daily painkiller use. ==== What people are saying: "I was facing a cortisone injection every eight weeks just to walk. After two weeks on the cream my doctor cancelled the next one. My pain is gone. I'm back in the garden. It gave me my life back." — David T., 64 "The throbbing in my hands was so bad I couldn't cook or knit. I thought I was heading for wrist fusion surgery. The cream eliminated the swelling. I feel 20 years younger." — Margaret S., 59 "I was taking four Advil every morning. My doctor warned me about my liver. This cream is the only thing that actually melts the stiffness. I stopped the pills and I'm walking two miles a day." — Linda P., 71 ==== How to use it? Apply a small amount directly over the affected joint morning and night. Ideally after a warm shower when your pores are most open and absorption is most efficient. Massage in until absorbed and let it air dry before dressing. Because it's a topical supplement, consistency is key to let it build up in your joints over time. If you're still using ibuprofen, taper slowly rather than stopping cold turkey. The cream works alongside whatever you're currently doing. Don't buy everything separately from Amazon which'll cost you upwards of $50-60 every month.

Dr. Jacob, who started all of this at the University of Oregon in 1961, spent the rest of his career advocating for the therapeutic potential of transdermal MSM sulfur delivery. ==== PS: Here's something most people with arthritis have never been told. A 1995 study measured the actual sulfur concentration in arthritic cartilage and compared it to healthy tissue. The results show that arthritic joints contained as little as one third of the sulfur found in healthy cartilage. When this happens, your joints are much more susceptible to morning stiffness, 3a.m. flareups, and progression of arthritis (since inflammation is primarily controlled by the presence of sulfur). Your joints aren't just inflamed. They're running on empty. This suggests MSM might be a stronger long-term strategy for lasting joint health. Primarily because MSM lasts for 480 hours in the body, which is 4 times longer than DMSO - binding with joint and cartilage tissue the entire time. That's the difference between short-term relief and actually getting your joints back. → https://outfieldorganics.com/pages/sp2
