DMSO FAQs
Nature's Answer to Cancer
DMSO is an alternative cancer treatment. Years of research studies have proven it is safe and effective. It is legal. But because it has to be prescribed "off-label," (the FDA approved it, but not as a cancer treatment) patients' insurance companies cannot be billed for it. It is not available through most cancer treatment centers for this reason.

What is DMSO?
Short for Dimethyl Sulfoxide, DMSO is a natural substance; a byproduct of the lumber industry, which supplies it to the pharmaceutical industry for veterinary and human use. In its crude form, this carrier solvent is often used by veterinarians and athletic coaches in the treatment of muscle sprains and various injuries. It promotes healing by increasing the blood supply to the area of the injury. The pure pharmaceutical grade is FDA approved for treatment of interstitial cystitis (bladder inflammation). DMSO is a gentle but powerful healing substance. There is extensive medical research literature, extending back decades and covering thousands of patients, proving the safety of DMSO uses and also its effectiveness as a cancer treatment. Links to that evidence may be found on this website.
Can you provide survival statistics/response of my type of cancer to DMSO treatment?
That specific information may be available but we at Camelot do not compile it within our own files for cross reference, for good reason. First of all, Camelot would not be able to maintain its place as the least costly alternative oncology clinic in the country, if we employed statisticians and insurance clerks. We see more than our fair share of miracles, sometimes resolving advanced stage cases, which are provable using pretreatment and post treatment imaging scans. But statistics, as they are often compiled by mainstream medicine, are biased and misleading, because no case is typical.
For example, we could pull a dozen charts of former patients who were all diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. But when examined closely, the staging or degree of disease progression might range from very early to very advanced. And some patients may have still had an intact immune system, having declined traditional chemo and radiation, and were thus more able to respond to DMSO based treatment, whereas others never learned about alternative treatment until their tumors had metastasized into vital organs, and they were stage IV, with deeply damaged immune systems from prior chemo and radiation. How do you compare, when there are no two cases which have identical factors? The data would be misleading and meaningless.
Many sets of statistical data, compiled by mainstream medical researchers, fail to withstand close scrutiny, because of the manner in which those research trials were conducted. For instance, say a patient was given a certain chemotherapy agent which is known to be toxic to the heart muscle. The resulting damage caused the lower ventricles of her heart to quiver in what is known as "atrial fibrillation," instead of contracting with force to eject the blood, as it did before the toxic chemo. Consequently, a clot formed in her heart ventricle, slipped out and traveled through her circulation, causing a pulmonary embolism when it hit the lung, which killed her instantly, long before progression of her cancer would have done so. That patient was simply removed from the study data base, and her death chalked up to "natural causes unrelated to cancer." That way, the researcher/statistician's study came out biased more favorably towards the pharmaceutical firm which hired him. This sort of thing happens all the time, and it makes study statistics "suspect" at the very least. Camelot's founder/administrator once had a patient's primary care physician make the absurd statement to her that "Statistics don't lie." She replied, "Yes they do, sir. There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics. With statistics, you can 'prove' that trailer parks attract tornadoes. PET scans don't lie, and that is the gold standard proof that Camelot relies on, not statistics."
Having said that, Camelot will gladly put its treatment up for comparison alongside that of mainstream oncology, in any two cases in which the cofactors are identical. A patient asking the survival statistics question will get an honest answer; one that is based on evaluation of all of the variable factors in his case, as compared with others which were similar, bearing in mind that no case is typical.
Are there any side effects associated with DMSO treatment?
A few patients have reported a mild headache or a spell of chills. This is rare, and disappears when the IV drip rate is slowed. DMSO has a slight odor like garlic and oysters. This fades away within two days after the final treatment. DMSO is gentle and non-toxic. It does not ordinarily cause nausea and vomiting, nor does it routinely destroy healthy tissue or blood cells, unlike standard chemo. It won't cause anemia, except in cases where disease progression has damaged the pancreas or gallbladder, or in cases where prior standard chemotherapy and/or disease progression has damaged the bone marrow's ability to regenerate replacement red blood cells. When this side effect anemia arises in a patient receiving DMSO it can be offset with a blood transfusion, or the patient may be switched over to another alternative treatment. Patients who are warned of the risk of anemia are often willing to accept the trade-off and the possibility of a transfusion becoming necessary, when weighing it against the likelihood that the DMSO is also working to destroy their tumors. Despite occasional anemia, DMSO has none of the miserable side effects common to most standard chemotherapy agents. Research indicates that it protects against common side effects of standard chemo and radiation. It also improves circulation, thus protecting against blood clot formation; which is a risk of surgery and a common complication of advancing malignancy.
Is DMSO effective as a cancer treatment?
YES. Response varies among patients, depending upon various factors, but we are generally able to buy quality time for patients in cases which are too far advanced to reverse. In the documented research literature and in actual cases we have witnessed firsthand, evidence shows that it has brought about total remission on many high grade, aggressive tumors which had progressed (metastasized) to the lymph nodes and other areas of the body. Our greatest success has been against the lymphomas, glioblastoma, melanoma, prostate and colon cancer.
How does DMSO work?
According to the Encyclopedia of Medical Breakthroughs and Forbidden Treatments (published by Medical Research Associates LLC) DMSO was known as a medical wonder product, "the aspirin of the 21st century," before briefly falling out of favor with the FDAwhich ultimately approved it, but limited its treatment usage. We use only the purest, vacuum-distilled pharmaceutical grade DMSO. DMSO has a molecular bond with water that is 1.3 times stronger than water's molecular bond with itself. Because of it, this unique solvent substitutes for water as it moves through the cell membranes; pulling substances through cells that ordinarily would not penetrate them. Some believe its basic therapeutic principle is its ability to alter and restore damaged cells by hydrating them, changing their water structure, and increasing cellular permeabilitywhich allows cells to nourish themselves and dispose of wastes more easily.
Although all of the mechanisms of this substance are not fully understood (neither was aspirin, until fairly recently), it is known that DMSO, acting as a carrier solvent, mixes readily with dextrose, and acts as a "Trojan Horse," when pulled across the cell walls of tumors, which feed upon the dextrose (Sugar). The DMSO then invades and destroys the most metabolically active (cancer) cells without affecting nearby normal tissue.
"Supporters believe that DMSO can cut through a protein shell surrounding cancer cells and so may assist medications and the immune system in attacking cancer cells. It is also believed that DMSO can decrease the energy level of cancer cells and cause them to become benign."1
"DMSO stimulates various parts of the immune system and scavenges hydroxyl radicals, the most potent of free radicals. Since free radicals promote tumor growth, this may be one of the mechanisms by which DMSO interferes with the development of cancer. It may also explain why patients who receive DMSO while undergoing either chemotherapy or radiation (both of which generate free radicals in order to kill cancer cells) are far less prone to such side effects as hair loss, nausea and dry mouth."2 "There is evidence that DMSO can also protect against radiation damage."3

What about accommodations? Where will we stay while receiving treatment in Tulsa?
Our patients are able to lease comfortable guest suites or efficiency apartments by the week for about the same nightly cost they would ordinarily have to pay for a hotel or motel room. Photos to be posted soon. Please click here to see a list of extended stay hotels near our facility.
Why isn't DMSO available through most cancer treatment centers?
Two reasons: Medical bureaucracy and economics. They fear that offering it could make them vulnerable to attack (AMA, FDA). Also, institutions cannot bill patients' insurance companies for DMSO treatments. The claims would only be denied, because, even with the evidence that DMSO is an effective cancer treatment, the FDA never approved it for that purpose. It must be prescribed "off-label." The information on effective, natural, non-toxic alternative cancer treatments is "out there," but it is not widely available. Other alternative cancer treatments (besides DMSO)available by doctors order through Camelot Cancer Care in Tulsa, Oklahomacan be read about on the following internet web sites: www.cancerdecisions.com, www.cancer-coverup.com and www.fact55.com. ("Foundation for Alternative Cancer Therapies.") There are others, which keep such a low profile they declined a link. This confidential information on availability of alternative treatment options, is disclosed to our patients on an as-needed basis, in private consultation. If a patient could benefit by a treatment option which is not available legally within the US, s/he will be directed as to where they can obtain it.
Your oncologist (perhaps out of honest ignorance, or fearful of political pressure or ostracism by peers within the mainstream medical community) may not feel comfortable endorsing DMSO, but will generally respect your decision to receive it. Sadly, many mainstream physicians tend to be automatically "down" on any alternative treatment they are not "up on," and are only up on treatment information brought to them by visiting drug reps, or presented at seminars hosted by Big Pharma. The pharmaceutical industry also holds powerful influence over medical school curriculums. Most mainstream oncologists are deeply invested in conventional medicine.
There is no level playing field to get the alternative treatment knowledge out there. There are no reps paying calls on doctors to educate them on the natural, nonpatentable alternative treatments, which are in direct competition with the lucrative "standard of care." This treatment choice; DMSO and the other elements bound with and delivered by it (Vitamin C & B17, also known as amygdalin or Laetrile) are ultimately the patient's decision, but be prepared to either keep that decision to yourself or expect that your doctor may oppose it.
No one has the right to discourage a patient from an alternative treatment choice that could save his life. But many doctors are either uninformed or misinformed about DMSOor they are quick to emphasize its only drawback. It does have a slight odor, like garlic and oysters, or clams. There is no denying the fact that DMSO DOES make the patient smell like "the beach at low tide." Most, who are educated, regard it as the smell of life. (Which sure beats the smell of death.) The odor from DMSO is temporary. It passes within two to three days at most after the intravenous treatments are completed. Most patients agree that the odor is a small price to pay for an effective, non-toxic cancer treatment which does not cause nausea and vomiting and only rarely causes anemia.
Will DMSO conflict with my standard chemotherapy?
YES. DMSO, being a carrier solvent and also a chelating agent, (helping cells to rid themselves of waste, by making the cell membrane more porous) can boost the effectiveness of whatever else is given in combination with itbut can also "chelate OUT" and diminish the damage done by standard chemo. We prefer not to treat patients who persist in continuing with toxic standard chemotherapy. Years of experience and observation have given us cause to believe that immune system damage from radiation and toxic chemical agents invariably forecloses the patient's options for survival. DMSO can often heal damage done by toxic standard chemotherapy, but not if the patient persists in continuing with it.
What is meant by the medication must be prescribed "off-label?"
The FDA approved DMSO for another medical purpose; treatment of bladder inflammation, and to reduce brain swelling in traumatic head injury, but not as a cancer treatmenteven with all the research evidence, extending back several decades and thousands of patientsproving its safety and effectiveness.
Is it legal for a doctor to prescribe a drug off-label?
YES, it is done all the time. Once a drug is FDA approved for any purpose, it may then be written off-label for another condition. For example, the drug Rogaine was originally developed for treatment of hypertension, (high blood pressure), but most patients have it prescribed for them off-label to treat baldness. That is just one of many drugs which have beneficial off-label uses. The point being that a patient does not need to be suffering from a bladder inflammation in order to legally receive DMSO, which may put his cancer into remission. But no medical facility can bill a patient's insurance company for a drug treatment which has been administered off-label.
Why hasn't the FDA approved DMSO cancer treatment?
It would take pages to try to speculate why the FDA does what it does, and neglects to do what it arguably should have done. One possible reason is because DMSO is a natural substance, not patentable by big pharmaceutical interests, which would not gain huge profits by its approval as a cancer treatment. To quote Dr. Stanley Jacob, the foremost researcher and authority on DMSO, "There is no placebo effect in dogs or horses!" There is undeniable evidence that DMSO is a powerful, effective tool against cancer in both animals and humans.
Are there any other DMSO clinics in the United States?
Only one. The most well known operates at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center. That's where we found Dr. Stanley Jacob, Professor Emeritus and co-discover of DMSO. He dictated our original formula proportions and treatment protocols. That clinic declines to treat cancer patients. Camelot Cancer Care is the only dedicated DMSO clinic in the country which accepts cancer patients, as far as we know.
How do I make arrangements to receive DMSO treatments?
First, go to our Request a Consultation page and submit your information through our secure online form. The process begins with signing and faxing an Informed Consent Waiver/Records Release to us at Camelot Cancer Care. Our fax number is 918-493-6589. The form may be found by clicking on the Patient Resources button in the right sidebar, then under Patient Forms click on Consent Waiver. When we receive your consent waiver, the information you submitted on the "Request a Consultation" form will be reviewed by our medical staff. They will evaluate your case to determine if you are a good candidate and could benefit by DMSO-based treatment. (Not all patient applicants are accepted.) If your case is approved for treatment, our intake coordinator will contact you to schedule an appointment. We ask that you bring a copy of your medical records with you to your first appointment.
Can you guarantee a cure?
NO, that would be irresponsible. Many patients have experienced tumor regression and even remission after receiving the series of 20 intravenous treatments, but each case is different, depending on staging or degree of disease progression and many other factors. Cancer is not just one disease, it is many, and DMSO may not be effective against all forms of it. The medical research evidence indicates it is most effective against hard tumors and lymphomas. We have also had great success against glioblastoma, melanoma, prostate cancer and colon cancer. We have other weapons in the alternative treatment arsenal for forms of malignancy which require a different approach other than DMSO. (Home page lists these.)
We do our best to ensure that the patient has the best chance for survival, but we cannot guarantee a cure. No reputable doctor or clinic can. There are charlatan cancer clinics out there, which are really in the business of offering cruel false hope to desperate people. We welcome questions and can show the medical evidence that DMSO is an effective cancer treatment. Our patients are monitored by an excellent supervising physician, overseeing their progress. Our patients receive complete and comprehensive care, including periodic lab work and diagnostic imaging scans to gauge their response to treatment.
Camelot Cancer Care offers DMSO as a primary, off-label natural chemotherapy and delivery agent, which combines well with other ingredients in our intravenous formula, such as vitamin C and Vitamin B17, also known as Laetrile. Although our core formula is a powerful weapon, it shouldn't be regarded as a sole substitute for the complete arsenal of cancer weapons. Some conventional treatments have merit and should be continued. (For instance, at Camelot we regularly administer intravenous Cancidas; a Merck product which is a powerful antifungal agent, triggering die-off of systemic candida found in virtually all cancer patients.) We also offer bio-oxidative therapy, given alternately with DMSO. Cancer cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment. We hope to offer patients "an edge;" an extra treatment that may help make the difference in their survival. But we make no claims that DMSO or intravenous oxygenation therapy are stand-alone cancer "cures." They are effective treatments, known to bring about remission in many, but not all cases.
When I tried to research DMSO on the Internet, I found some bad information claiming it to be harmful. How do you explain this?
You can "google" any treatment on the Internet: either orthodox or alternative medicine, and find posted entries both pro and con. The simple truth is that anyone, however unqualified or mistaken, can post without proving accuracy of his source. A lot of disreputable critics post false or misleading informationsometimes out of spiteful or political motives. Scientists who know better can sometimes challenge and rebut to clarify and set the record straight, but egos get involved, and no one has the authority to delete the false postings.
One such entry cites that DMSO causes hemolysisbreakdown of red blood cells, also liver damage etc., according to "the Donnsbach booklet." We contacted the medical researcher who had been hired to write that booklet (FOR Donnsbach), and the author himself (Dr. Morton Walker) said that the cite simply doesn't existsomeone made it up. Yet the bogus cite remains posted online, causing needless worry and discouraging patients who could benefit from DMSO, despite the risk of anemiawhich is easily manageable, if it happens.
One oncologist, newly hired at a well known Tulsa cancer treatment facility, actually told a patient the preposterous falsehood that DMSO would indeed dissolve his tumorbut would then spread it to other parts of his body! That doctor may be sincere in her erroneous belief. (Who knows where she read such a wild, scary claim, and chose to believe it.) We have put that doctor on notice that if she can prove that charge to be true, we will absolutely cease our operations immediately. (So far, there has been only silence in response, leading us to conclude that "the evidence" does not exist.)
Many proactive patients, distrustful of mainstream medicine, have ordered the book by Kevin Trudeau: Natural Cures "they" Don't Want You to Know About. Here is a direct quote from page 407, what Mr. Trudeau has to say about our treatment: "I encourage you to go to the Internet and type in DMSO and start reading about its powerful effects. Also type in hydrogen peroxide and start reading about how it is used to cure and prevent all types of diseases. Please know that most of the information is being suppressed, and the pharmaceutical industry has set up a host of front web sites talking negatively about these two products. I can assure you that all of the negative discussion is misleading and untrue. These are miracle products. They can help you cure and prevent cancer and virtually all types of medical diseases. They must be used correctly, and I advise you to use them under the supervision of a licensed alternative health care practitioner. They are also very effective in helping to get rid of candida throughout your entire body, as well as detox your body from toxins. These are miracle products. Let me say it again, these are miracle products. Proper use can change your life."
I've had an organ transplant. Can I receive DMSO treatment?
Unfortunately, no. It is Camelot Cancer Care's standard policy not to accept patients who have undergone an organ transplant. The reason for this policy is that transplant patients must maintain a regimen of immune-suppressant drugs to prevent their immune systems from rejecting the donor organ. Because many of the treatments administered by Camelot are based on improving and strengthening the immune system, this makes treating patients whose immune systems are intentionally suppressed impossible.
Are you available for patient consultation?
YES. Patients are always welcome to call us and schedule a private appointment to address their case or any concerns they may have about DMSO treatment. We welcome visitors to our alternative medicine library, where you will find such books as "The Cancer Industry," "Questioning Chemotherapy" and "Cancer Therapy" by Dr. Ralph Moss, to name but a few controversial and revealing books on cancer treatment, or watch the videos "Cancer Scandal" and "Why Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore," by Dr. Lorraine Day.
Many former patients owe their survival to having searched out the truth. We also recommend reading: 1. "Killing Cancer, Not People" by Robert Wright, President of the American Anti-Cancer Institute 2. "Natural Cancer Remedies" by Dr. Morton Walker 3. "Cancer: Step Outside The Box" by Ty Bollinger 4. "Cancer Free," Your Guide to Gentle, Non-toxic Healing, by Bill Henderson 5. "Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About" by Kevin Trudeau 6. "Tomorrow's Cancer Cures Today" by Alan Spreen all of which can be purchased through our web page by clicking on "Books" in the sidebar and choosing the title(s) you wish to purchase.
Patients seeking a complementary, no obligation consultation of their case (or that of a loved one, providing they have health care proxy or decision making power to act on the patient's behalf) are asked to first complete the online form under the tab for "Request a Consultation," so we can review the medical history information and provide the best possible case evaluation, before you call. To schedule a case consultation, please call (918) 493-1011 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Case consultations are best scheduled after clinic hours, generally after six PM central time.
What cost is involved, and how many treatments will I need?
Effective June 1st, 2011, the program enrollment cost is $12,000 for the initial series of 20 intravenous treatments. After the initial 20-day program, the cost is reduced to $3,600 per 20-day round (to cover reimbursement for supplies) to accommodate any patients who may require additional treatments. If the patient does not already have intravenous access (a port or a picc line) we have a skilled doctor who can place a picc line (tiny catheter which goes into an arm vein) at an additional cost of $1,000. Patients are given a paid invoice to submit to their insurance company for reimbursement for their picc line costs. The picc line allows patients to receive intravenous treatment in total comfort, without any needle punctures. It also makes it possible for the patient to return home after 20 days with supplies to continue their treatments at home, if necessary.
Payment is due when treatment begins. DMSO is administered daily, including Sundays. After the treatments are concluded, a P.E.T. scan is scheduled to evaluate the patient's response to treatment.
What is a PICC line?
PICC stands for "Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter." It is a tiny catheter placed in an arm vein, which makes it possible for patients to receive all their intravenous treatments in total comfort, with no needle sticks, ever. Weekly labs may also be drawn through it.
How long does treatment usually take?
Treatment is administered intravenously through your picc line or port and usually takes one and a half to two hours each day.
How often is treatment administered?
We administer treatments 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It is recommended that you receive your treatments at approximately the same time every day.
Will I see a doctor while I am at your clinic?
Absolutely. You will have a one-on-one consultation with one of our doctors, who will oversee your care while you are in Tulsa receiving DMSO treatment.
Did you say that my health insurance won't cover the cost of DMSO treatment?
That's true, most health insurance won't. We agree it is a sad state of affairs when insurance will cover the standard cancer treatments (which have toxic side effects and are often ineffective), yet a natural chemo alternative, which is far less costly by comparison, proven effective as a cancer treatmentbut not FDA approved for that usagecan only be administered "off-label" and is therefore not covered by insurance.
Here is what insurance will usually cover:
- A. The initial doctor's visit, which includes an exam and medical records review
- B. Any checkups needed with the doctor during the course of treatment
- C. Lab fees, to monitor the patients blood and urine during treatment
- D. Placement of a PICC line (needed for ease and comfort of IV treatments)
Insurance generally covers all of the above (minus your co-pays and/or deductibles), but it does not cover the $12,000 for the series of 20 intravenous treatments..
Unfortunately, there is no getting around the fact that the primary alternative chemotherapy agent we administer, DMSO, has to be given off-label and is not covered by insurance, so it is an out of pocket expense. But many patients lose sight of the fact that standard mainstream chemo, covered by insurance, is NOT FREE. First of all, the patients insurance is billed many thousands of dollars for it much greater cost than the non-toxic alternative treatments. Secondly, regardless of whether the patient himself pays the premiums for the insurance coverage or his employer withholds it from earnings, he is not only paying for his (often useless) insurance coverage, but by the time the deductibles and copays are figured in along with those premiums, he will have easily paid over the $12,000 cost of DMSO which is more effective than the toxic treatments covered by insurance, and without any of the miserable side effects.
Do you take credit cards? What about financing for this treatment?
Yes, please call for more details. Financing will soon be available, although independently, not through Camelot. Please take note that payment is due before treatment begins.
Please note that Camelot accepts the following forms of payment:
- Cash
- Cashier's checks, Traveler's checks
- Postal money orders
- Direct wire transfer (email sam [at] camelotcancercare.com for wiring instructions. This is the best method for international patients.)
- Turn your life insurance policy into cash today, relieving you of financial burdens and giving you the choice to focus on life and what matters. Click link below for more information.
- Lending Tree Personal Loan: If you don't own a home and need quick access to cash, you might consider a personal loan or line of credit. Click link below for more information.
Please indicate which payment method works best, and be prepared to cover this issue prior to or upon arrival, so that treatment can begin immediately.
Patients wishing to reserve a slot on the treatment schedule can call the clinic at 918-493-1011 for instructions on how to arrange payments and to discuss payment options.
Some patients choose to get a cash advance on their credit cards. Each family's situation is different, but we have noticed that some patients take out a loan, just as you would when purchasing a car. (Except that this treatment costs less than half of what the average car costs.) Camelot cannot become involved in the finance business, or anything which would take time away from patient care. But we will do anything we can to help the patient get financing for his treatment, such as verifying his cancer diagnosis and his need for alternative chemotherapy treatmentwhich is what DMSO is. We are also happy to provide receipts for tax purposes. DMSO treatment is, of course, 100% tax deductible as a medical expense.
Do you offer any other alternative or complementary cancer treatments besides DMSO?
Yes, we do. Several are listed on our adjunct treatment page, including oxidative therapy and hyperthermia. We always begin with our core formula, based on DMSO. But we also formulate an alternative/complementary treatment plan which is customized to the individual patient, according to his diagnosis and staging (degree of disease progression). Almost all cancer patients have systemic fungal issues (Candida). In order to thrive, cancer requires an acidic, anaerobic (low oxygen) environment. Treatment at Camelot includes alkalinization, antifungals, detox and addressing of nutritional issues for stabilization and to guard against recurrence of the malignancy.
Steve Loeffler â Glioblastoma This patient came to Camelot in January of 2011 with a glioma – a brain tumor – measuring 4.8 x 3.7 x 3.8 cm.

Furbearer Trapping And Hunting Seasons Begin In November
Annapolis, Md. (October 24, 2011) - The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the opening of the trapping and hunting seasons for several furbearers including coyotes, fishers, gray foxes, opossums, raccoons, red foxes, skunks, and weasels. The season for these species will open on November 1, west of the Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River, and November 15 in the remainder of the State.
Furbearer trapping and hunting seasons are important wildlife management tools that help to keep wildlife populations balanced with our current land uses, said Harry Spiker, DNRs Game Mammal Section Leader. These pastimes also provide valuable sustainable outdoor recreation for thousands of Marylanders each year.
In many counties, trapping season for aquatic furbearers such as beaver, mink, muskrat and otter, opens on December 15, while nutria may be trapped or hunted year-round with a few exceptions on certain DNR Wildlife Management Areas.
Trappers and hunters are reminded that a Furbearer Permit is required for individuals that hunt, chase, trap or pursue furbearers. Individuals who wish to trap furbearers must complete mandatory trapper education requirements unless they possess a Furbearer Permit or Certificate of Trapper Education prior to August 1, 2007. For more information about Marylands trapper education program, visit dnr.maryland.gov/nrp/education/trappered.html.
Hunting seasons for furbearers vary by species and region. Complete bag limits, season dates and other hunting, trapping and chasing information can be found online at dnr.maryland.gov/huntersguide. The 2011-2012 Maryland Guide to Hunting & Trapping issued with each hunting license contains detailed information about all of Marylands hunting, trapping and chasing seasons.

Before Haloti Ngata signed his franchise tender with the Ravens this year, I had dreams of two of the league's most dominant big men playing together, side by side on the line of the Patriots. I thought maybe there was some way Ngata could find his way here. This morning my daydream has been fulfilled, just not in the way I'd have imagined it to be.
While most remember Albert Haynesworth for his refusal to be a part of Mike Shanahan's system in Washington, or perhaps for his inability to pass a basic conditioning test last summer, but before all of the hulabaloo in Washington what many don't remember is that Haynesworth was easily one of the most dominant players in the league before Shanahan did everything he could to emasculate the man in Washington.
See here's the thing, if you look at the Haynesworth situation on it's own, it's very easy to assume he was in the wrong, to assume he was a fool who wasn't dedicated and couldn't pass a basic conditioning test, but when you pair his situation with that of former Redskins QB Donovan McNabb (traded to the Vikings yesterday for a 6th round pick) you begin to see a different story. McNabb has always been known as a class act, the guy who always did the right thing and said the right thing, and yet Shanahan found reason to have a problem with him as well. Knowing that, it's easier to think that perhaps the issues with Haynesworth weren't all Albert's fault. Very likely Coach Shanahan deserves a great deal of credit for how things went down as well.
Regardless of where the blame lies, Haynesworth is an interesting acquisition, reminiscent of the acquisition of Randy Moss prior to the 2007 season. Who knows who's to blame, but one thing that is certain is that Haynesworth refused to play nose tackle in the 3-4 system that Shanahan planned to run-the same 3-4 system we run here in New England. We have a nose tackle of our own right now however, so I imagine Haynesworth fits in at the RE position, with Ty Warren returning from injury to the LE position. Otherwise we can only really expect to see him play during passing situations, along a 4 man front perhaps as part of the nickel or dime package.
Whether it's Corey Dillon or Randy Moss, Coach Belichick has become known to be a man willing and able to give what many consider a troubled player a second shot-and to do very well with that player. Now while the past performance of such players doesn't really matter at all in this situation, it does show a pattern from which you can draw the conclusion that if Bill can't do it, who can? This very well may be Haynesworth's last opportunity to show the league he isn't a joke, The last real chance for him to return to the dominant form that once earned him a $100 million contract and the designation as the highest paid defensive player in the history of the league.
He's always been a guy known to take plays off, a guy that didn't give his all every moment of the game, and a player who could let his emotions take control. While it doesn't exactly make my heart warm that the Patriots have now signed someone who once stomped on an opposing player's face, I am encouraged by our history with such players, and do believe that next to Wilfork and opposite Warren is a place Haynesworth could succeed. I look forward to watching him overcome the obstacles he's built for himself here in New England, and believe that if he plays to his potential the cost of a 5th round pick in 2013 is low. The team will pay him $5 million this season, and surely isn't afraid of cutting ties with him entirely should things not work out. Keep an eye on this situation as it develops through the preseason, it'll be interesting to see how Haynesworth fits in here.

These are wandering journeys of a thoughtful mind, a passionate eye, a fey wit and an earth loving heart through the landscape with camera, paintbrush, pen and field notebook in hand.
I'm a freelance photographer, artist, graphic designer and wordsmith by calling, someone with her roots planted deep in the good dark soil of the eastern Ontario highlands. After chalking up a whole bag of experience in telecommunications, the legal sector, graphic design, freelance writing and marketing, I dreamed of flying on my own wings and opened the KerrdeLune Design Works in 2006. I've never been happier, and I've never looked back, but sometimes I wonder how I lasted as long as I did, toiling away in the entrails of large urban corporations for years and years.
There is a wildness to these eldering days that feeds me, and I couldn't live without it. Nature is my canvas, and the north wind is my brush - the turning seasons compose the symphony, orchestrate the score and write the choreography of fond seasonal wanderings in the Great Round of time. My happiest hours are spent rambling the woods and hills and fens of the Lanark Highlands, and the camera is my third eye - it is the clear and ever present lens through which I see earth and the heavens, connect with them in a profound, painterly and elemental way and filter my experience of the living world. Call it simply an ongoing study in Mono no aware (物の哀れ).
A naturalist all my days, I'm an ardent devotee of twilight, untrodden landscapes, full moons, liminal spaces and the wild wisdom which sustains the cosmos. I'm passionate about old trees, quiet ponds, meandering streams, weathered rail fences and starry, starry nights, and I believe right down to my blood and bones and gnarly roots that pen and lens and paintbrush are mightier than the sword.
It would be grand to be considered compelling one of these days, and I entertain hopes of authenticity, wildness, rude good health and enlightenment somewhere up the trail too. For now, I am content to ramble and wonder and just breathe in and out...

Signs and symptoms of conjunctivitis include:
Serious complications of conjunctivitis are very rare.
If someone's eye is bloodshot and inflamed, they may have conjunctivitis. If a person has a cold and suddenly develops red eyes with little or no discomfort, it may be viral conjunctivitis. If the eyes get red and itchy at the onset of pollen season, it is probably due to allergic conjunctivitis.
Both viruses and bacteria tend to start in one eye and make their way across to the other after 2 to 5 days. However, if the irritation stays in one eye only, it's possible that a foreign body or chemical is causing the irritation.
A doctor or health care professional should be consulted if:
Treatment of conjunctivitis depends on the original cause. Applying cool or warm compresses 3 to 4 times a day and using eye drops such as artificial tears can help viral conjunctivitis. Anyone with suspected viral conjunctivitis should see their doctor.
Artificial tears or antihistamine eye drops can relieve allergic conjunctivitis. Antihistamine eye drops include levocabastine* and emedastine. Eye drops containing mast cell stabilizers (medications which prevent the release of histamine) have also been found effective in preventing and treating allergic conjunctivitis. Examples of these medications include nedocromil, sodium cromoglycate, and lodoxamide.
Eye drops containing olopatadine or ketotifen have antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and mast-cell stabilizing properties. Steroid eye drops such as dexamethasone, prednisolone, or fluorometholone can be used sparingly for extreme allergic reactions. Antihistamines taken by mouth may be useful in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for appropriate recommendations.
If bacteria are the cause of conjunctivitis, antibiotic eye drops or ointments are usually given. Non-prescription products can include a combination of polymyxin B, bacitracin, and gramicidin as eye drops or eye ointment. Talk to your pharmacist before using this medication and make sure you consult your doctor if the condition worsens or does not improve within 2 days.
Many prescription products are available for treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. Examples of prescription antibiotic eye drops or ointments that may be used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis include gentamicin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin, fusidic acid, moxifloxacin, and ofloxacin. All children with conjunctivitis should see a doctor before any medication is used.
People who are around someone with infectious conjunctivitis should avoid touching the person's face, hands, or any items they have handled. They should wash their hands frequently and avoid sharing towels, pillowcases, washcloths, or soap with anyone who is infected. People with conjunctivitis should wash their hands, towels, washcloths, and pillowcases frequently; this will help the conjunctivitis clear up faster. For people who use eye makeup, they should throw it out and buy a fresh supply – makeup is likely to cause a reinfection.
Children should be taught to blow their noses carefully and to cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Some children have a habit of wiping their nose with an upward motion of the palm. Try to discourage this.
Conjunctivitis caused by allergens or irritants isn't contagious but it's difficult to avoid. People can't anticipate everything that might bother their eyes. Steering clear of obvious irritants is the best solution; for example, wearing goggles when swimming or avoiding smoke-filled rooms. Prevention of allergic conjunctivitis is best achieved by avoiding the offending allergens. Keep windows closed over the warmer months to keep out pollens and molds.
*All medications have both common (generic) and brand names. The brand name is what a specific manufacturer calls the product (e.g., Tylenol®). The common name is the medical name for the medication (e.g., acetaminophen). A medication may have many brand names, but only one common name. This article lists medications by their common names. For more information on brand names, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.

Cynthiana Police are prepared to make arrests following the break in at Flora Shropshire Animal Shelter two weekends ago.
"We're getting ready to make arrests," said Cpl. Walter Tapp of the Cynthiana Police Department.
Tapp said he is in the process of obtaining three arrest warrants for individuals from Lexington, to be charged with third degree burglary and second degree criminal mischief.
In addition, a complaint for receiving stolen property will be filed against a Harrison County resident, Tapp said.

Three Harrison County individuals are behind bars for their alleged connection in multiple church burglaries.
Laura Bailey, 18, and Kevin Northcutt, 20, were arrested around 3:45 a.m. last Thursday by Sheriff's deputy Robert Peak on charges of third degree burglary.
Peak said he was called to Robinson Christian Church after a member noticed an unidentified vehicle in the parking lot on his way home from work.
"They took off running out the back door," Peak said about the suspects upon his arrival.
t's rare. So rare, in fact, that only one in 100,000 babies are affected.
However, two Harrison County babies were diagnosed with MPS I within a month of each other.
"It's more uncommon than lightning striking in one place 10 times," said Patricia Stillwell of the two cases MPS 1 in Harrison County. Her son is one of the babies who has been diagnosed with the disease.
The second largest crowd in KHSAA wrestling history attended the 2010 State Wrestling Championships and saw Harrison County junior Brandon Barnett win the championship in the 189 pound class.
Barnett was the only state champion from Region 7, which is central Kentucky.
The Harrison County junior did his imitation of Rocky villain Ivan Drago, encouraged by Coach Mitch Mattox, and went for the blond hair style from the movie.
Fortunately, he wrestled more like Rocky and brought home the state championship.
Frank Henson is announcing his running for the magistrate seat, District 1 on the Republican ticket. Henson is a 1971 graduate of Harrison County High School and a 1971 graduate of Morehead State University as a board certified medical technologist.
Henson and Debbie, his wife of 33 years, have two sons Jon and Joe Henson.
A Cynthiana police officer is suspended after a private employee hearing with city commissioners Thursday afternoon.
Joe F. Warden, 34, was cited by Chief Ray Johnson for failing to stop at an intersection and colliding with another vehicle while responding to an emergency call on Dec. 26 at 7 p.m., according to the city's final order of disciplinary action.
The final order was read by city attorney John Lair following Thursday's hearing.
Warden will be suspended without pay for 16 days.
Coach Christine Garnett will field a team of veterans for the 2010 softball season at Harrison County High School. This is a team of veterans that can really hit the ball for power and a high average that also has senior leadership.
Sure, gone from last year's team which finished 29-5 are two talented players, Brittany Murphy and Charley Hatfield, but seven starters return.
Murphy and Hatfield were players with experience from their middle school days forward and both good batters and team leaders.
There was plenty of warning for last weekend's winter storm that blanketed Harrison County in three to four inches of snow.
Road crews working in Cynthiana and Harrison County made good use of that forecast by putting down salt brine and generally bracing for the wallop.
Since it was the weekend and essential travelers were at a minimum, road crews could hold to their task without too much traffic interruption.

When I first approached the idea of reviewing Toeplitz's book, I felt a mixture of curiosity and apprehension about giving my opinion on a book written some 80 years ago. What type of book would it be, how did the author and the public think then, and how would I — and the modern audience — receive it now?
First of all, as both Alfred Putnam, the writer of the preface of the first American edition, and David Bressoud, the author of the current edition's foreword, mention, this is not a textbook. I would like to argue the point even further and say that it is not even a Calculus book, in some sense. This I will explain in a moment, but until then let me just say that it is not a history book either, even though it does incorporate significant moments of the history of calculus.
The book is comprised of four chapters, which deal respectively with the development of the concept of limit, the definite integral, differential and integral calculus and applications to physics.
I personally found the first chapter the most interesting. I have to confess to having a soft spot for limits and I found the detailed history fascinating. This is not a book in which the author inserted a few historical snippets, just to take us in a few pages to the modern definition of the concept. On the contrary, this first chapter takes almost a quarter of the book and presents the development of the idea of convergence as it arose from specific problems. Two examples are the development of trigonometry by Archimedes (section 5) and Bernoulli's question about defining continuously compound interest (section 7).
The reason I said that this is not really a calculus book is that to me this whole chapter, which sets the foundation for all that will follow, is a chapter on real analysis. And to support this thesis even further, after giving us a historical and at the same time rigorous foundation on limits, the author goes on with a treatment of sequences, series, special limits (such as ), and limit theorems.
The second chapter deals with areas and definite integrals. Toplitz leads us carefully from the classical works of the Greeks (again, presented with full proofs), to more modern results of Cavalieri and Fermat, which together with Napier's work on logarithms give us a preliminary glimpse into what will be the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. And then he points out that to define an area concept in a rigorous manner it is in fact equivalent to defining a definite integral. He defines the latter, not as a Riemann integral, but by means of left and right sums, which in the case of monotonic functions that he chooses to deal with is the same as using Darboux sums. One delightful bit of this chapter are the area paradoxes presented in section 14, which arise from non-rigorous applications of infinitesimal methods.
The centerpiece of the third chapter is the development of logarithms by Napier and Bürgi, and the discovery of the Fundamental Theorem by Barrow, Newton and Leibniz. It is after this presentation that the book really turns to "calculus" and talks about differentiation rules and techniques of integration.
The author makes a very deep comment about the development of the function concept in two distinct forms. One concept he calls "geometric", and it is the one that views a function as a rule, and allows us to think of such abnormalities as the Dirichlet function. The "computational" functions, on the other hand, are our daily polynomials, radicals, exponential and trig functions. These are much better behaved and don't necessarily require all the analysis care in handling them. At the same time, they help us understand the fundamental ideas without having to deal with pathological distractions. These two concepts are, according to Toeplitz, what made the difference between the progress made by the works of Barrow (a purist), and Newton (a computationalist).
The final chapter feels closer to physics than mathematics, and it does a historical presentation of the laws of planetary motion in parallel with Newton's laws, as expressed in the Principia.
Finally, a very short section of exercises follows, which is yet another reason for which this is not a textbook. It does not contain either a complete collection of techniques, or enough problems to practice them.
One remarkable feat accomplished by this book is that even though it is not a history book, as its focus is obviously the mathematics, it is made out of history. It does not fall into the pattern of all other "historical approach to…" books that I have seen, which start with a bit the history and then get down to business as it is done now (or 80 years ago, for that matter). This difference makes Toeplitz's book both interesting and challenging at the same time.
So who is this book for? (I must address this question now!) I would say it is for people who already have some notion of calculus (or even real analysis). This was agreed upon before me, by the authors of both forewords. It is definitely a wonderful resource, but most of all, a source of enjoyment for the individual reader.

I was just approached in the office to buy a raffle ticket for $10, three for $25. The prize was a trinket that I'd never keep. The reason for the raffle: a guy who works here was just diagnosed with prostate cancer and was headed into surgery today. One of his friends/co-workers was collecting money for his family, just a bit extra to cover take-out and gas back and forth to the hospital. It probably won't amount to much, but it'll help. I'm sure it'll be really, really appreciated too.
It's Movember this month and I didn't carve a moustache from my beard. I probably should have and now feel a stab of guilt for not raising money for finding a cure. Prostate cancer. Life's great kick in the balls. I'm really lucky; I haven't been forced to think about cancer very much. All my friends who have had cancer have survived and are still surviving. Invincibility is still attached to my aging youth. But cancer, or whatever fate, is out there and none of us know if or when we'll have to face our battle. Will your community be there for you when it happens? Is giving now just flimsy good-karma insurance?
When I consider the raffle, my mind moves to the big campaigns – the posters and runs, pink ribbons and testimonies from survivors. All this to encourage society to search for a cure. I'll admit to not giving as much money as I should. Logically, I know how important it is. Emotionally, I feel for the millions of people this affects. But when I see the campaign by the Canadian Cancer Society I don't feel connected. I don't know the people.
Ah, and there it is.
There's the problem.
My problem is the problem so many face. We don't know people in Mogadishu who are struggling with drought and joblessness. I don't know anyone in the favelas of Sao Paulo either who don't have clean running water. There are so many people in need, so many folks on the street in urban Canada, struggling communities in our north…the list is overwhelming. Who gets my charity dollars and how much should I give?
I've chosen to buy the raffle ticket this time. I felt moved to do so. It was direct. It was for a guy who works with us. If I didn't give, I don't think I'd be doing justice to my community. It was real.
But what of the others? Where do I go for these answers? I feel like I'm there, ready to give. Now what?

Diana Goodman is going through a rough patch.
Which means that her family is going through a rough patch, too.
Truth be told, the past 16 years or so have been one very long rough patch, as Diana and her doctors have struggled to get her bipolar disorder under control.
Her husband Dan has become increasingly isolated. And both parents frequently neglect their teenage daughter Natalie, who sometimes acts out. Son Gabe is a problem child, as well, though not in the typical sense.
The Goodmans' travails come to a head in "Next to Normal," making its San Antonio debut under Greg Hinojosa's direction at the Woodlawn Theatre.
The musical paints a vivid picture of mental illness. In "You Don't Know," Diana (Beth Erwin) tries to explain what she endures to her husband (Josh Harris), singing, "It's like living on a cliff side not knowing when you'll dive/Do you know, do you know what it's like to die alive?"
Scenes with Diana's doctors (all played by Robby Vance) explore the difficulty of finding an effective treatment — one song includes long lists of the side effects ("I now can't feel my fingers or my toes/I sweat profusely for no reason") she suffers as dosages are adjusted.
Erwin captures Diana's growing confusion as her illness worsens — her facial expressions convey her fears as the line between reality and fantasy blurs. In a few memorable sequences, she imagines her new doctor, who had been described as a medical rock star, bursting into song as he asks her about her history. Vance is especially strong in those scenes, easily slipping into rock god moves then snapping back to the guise of an authoritative doctor.
The scenes between Natalie (Conley Wehner) and her friend Henry (Ben Carlee are well done, too. And Matthew Lieber is solid as the Goodmans' son.
The cast and music director Hector Serna, who leads the six-man band, handle the music skillfully.
The family's emotions are reflected in the shifting color palette of Chris Muenchow's lighting design. The action plays out in a three-story house, complete with picket fence, the well-thought-out handiwork of Kurt Wehner.
Sound is still sometimes an issue at the theater. There were a couple of bursts of feedback Saturday night, and, in a few places, lyrics weren't audible. But sound was much less of an issue with this show than it has been in the past.
"Next to Normal" can be seen at 7:30 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays through July 29 at the Woodlawn Theatre, 1920 Fredericksburg Road. Tickets cost $15 to $22. Call 210-267-8388 for reservations or visit woodlawntheatre.com to buy tickets online.

Product description
This is the first edition of "Huckleberry Finn" ever to be based on Mark Twain's entire original manuscript - including its first 663 pages, which had been lost for more than a hundred years when they were discovered in 1990 in a Los Angeles attic. The text of the "Mark Twain Library" edition (first published in 1985) has been re-edited using this manuscript, restoring thousands of details of wording, spelling, and punctuation that had been corrupted by Mark Twain's typist, typesetters, and proofreaders. The revised "Mark Twain Library Huckleberry Finn" is sure to become the standard edition for all students and readers of Mark Twain. The authoritative new edition of this beloved work includes all of the 174 first-edition illustrations by Edward Windsor Kemble, which the author called 'rattling good'. It also contains a new gathering of manuscript pages, photographically reproduced, and an appendix of passages from the manuscript, including the long-lost 'ghost story', which illustrate how extensively Mark Twain revised his work. The editors have also revised and updated their explanatory notes, the maps of the Mississippi River valley, and the glossary of slang and dialect words. The story of Huck and his companion Jim, a runaway slave, as they travel down the Mississippi to escape from slavery and 'sivilization' has been delighting readers around the world since Twain first published it in 1885. Simply put, it is a masterpiece: revolutionary in its narrative method, surpassingly funny, and at the same time deeply perceptive about human nature. No other American novel of the nineteenth century still commands so vast an audience, and certainly no other retains the capacity to stir controversy with its sharp satire on American racism. A responsible critical text to produce this authoritative critical text, the editors studied all aspects of Mark Twain's manuscript, working notes, proof sheets, and letters. To judge the authority of every variant, they created a unique electronic database that made it possible to analyze - by speaker and date of composition - every word in the manuscript and first edition. This title presents an inside view of how Mark Twain wrote "Huckleberry Finn". The new appendixes of "Three Passages" and "Manuscript Facsimiles" will give teachers and students as well as the general reader a close-up view of Mark Twain's writing process. They can follow the evolution of three key passages, as the author searched for the right word, the truest dialect, and the most telling description.

To supply honey that is both tasty and nutritious, the hives are kept far away from urban and intensively farmed areas where polluting factors would damage it. Furthermore, the honey is processed at very low temperatures - a technique created and patented by the Rigoni family. A further assurance that the nutrients are unharmed. Laboratory certification tests are a further guarantee that the honey is free of any chemicals. Acacia Honey is a very delicate and transparent honey that crystallizes very slowly. It has a fresh and spring like flavor of the Piedmont hills of Northwest Italy where this particular honey is from. It is ideal to sweeten drinks, cakes and fruit desserts. The sweet flavor is also popular with children.
