Unknown to most of us, sulfur
is one of the basic elements of life. In fact, sulfur is the fourth
most abundant mineral in the body. The proper acid alkaline balance
of the body cannot be maintained without it. Msm can lower your
pain levels by 50% or more, msm reduces inflammation and helps
to restore your mobility. Sulfur is vital to the creation and
regeneration of the body's tissues. Sulfur is an indispensable
component in human nutrition. MSM is found in every cell in the
body. Sulfur itself is held mainly in the muscles, skin, bones,
nails and hair. MSM provides the essential sulfur necessary for
a number of body compounds.

nails and hair. MSM provides the essential sulfur necessary for
a number of body compounds. Veterinarians became interested in
MSM and found that it worked on pets suffering from arthritis
and lameness. When people saw the effect it had on their pets
they began to buy MSM for themselves. Claims from individuals
using MSM supplements has been reported to relieve acne, acid
reflux, alertness, allergies, Alzheimer's, arthritis, asthma,
back pain, blood circulation, bursitis, cancer, candida, carpal
tunnel syndrome, cholesterol, chronic fatigue, colon cancer, chronic
headaches, concentration, constipation, detoxifies the body, diabetes,
diverticulosis, emphysema, eye health, Fibromyalgia, gerd, heart
burn, gastrointestinal problems, leg cramps, lung dysfunction,
lupus, memory loss, migraines, muscle pain, nail and hair problems,
parasites, reduces scar tissue, snoring, stress, TMJ., Tendonitis,
ulcers. MSM supplementation can help the body replace bad cells
with good healthy elastic cells. Over time, wrinkles will go away,
and brown and black spots and skin tumors can flow away as new
cells replace the bad. MSM is found in raw fruits, vegetables,
nuts, and seeds. MSM is destroyed by cooking, and is extremely
water soluble. MSM evaporates quickly, and is destroyed during
storage. MSM is sulfur and sulfur is found in eggs, cheese, and
meats. A deficiency in sulfur may cause slow growth or fatigue.
Dr. Stanley Jacobs, M.D. Director of the DMSO Clinic and Professor
of Surgery at Oregon Health Sciences University, has conducted
clinical studies on MSM and used it with his patients for over
20 years and has documented his findings in the book entitled
"The Miracle of MSM". In the book Dr. Stanley Jacobs
lists MSM's most significant actions to be: an analgesic (pain
controller), MSM reduces inflammation, MSM passes through cellular
membranes of the body, including the skin, MSM dilates blood vessels
and increases blood flow, MSM blocks the action of cholinesterase,
thereby helping to restore normal bowel activity, MSM reduces
muscle spasms, MSM alters the cross linking process in collagen,
therefore reducing scar tissue, MSM has anti parasitic properties
(particularly for giardia), and MSM has an immune normalizing
effect, as observed in some autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma. One of the essential components
in all life forms, sulfur is involved in amino acid production,
connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, (in animals, hide and hooves),
enzymes, hormones, and immunoglobulins. Dr. Jacobs lists the following
as the most frequent applications of MSM Degenerative wear-and-tear
arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic back pain, Chronic headaches,
Muscle pain, Fibromyalgia, Tendonitis and bursitis, Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome, TMJ problems, Post-traumatic pain and inflammation,
and Heartburn. Normal dosages for MSM range from 2 to 8 grams
daily, but larger amounts may be needed in some situations. In
some cases loosening of the stools may occur, which may be remedied
by taking smaller amounts spread out over the day or by reducing
the dosage.
Sulfur and Allergies
Over 40 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from allergies.
An allergic response occurs when the body's immune system reacts
to otherwise harmless substances we call allergens. Your body
produces antibodies to fight the allergens. These antibodies then
attach themselves to special cells in the respiratory and gastrointestinal
tracts where they eventually explode, releasing chemicals including
histamine, a powerful compound that actually causes allergic symptoms.
Once our immune system decides that a particular type of pollen
is a hostile invader, it becomes sensitized to it and can react
with allergy symptoms for years, and perhaps a lifetime.
Allergy drugs only suppress symptoms rather than treating the
cause of the allergy and often result in uncomfortable side effects.
Dust, pollen, mold or animal dander in the air results in sneezing,
runny nose, tearing eyes, sore throat, ear infection, stomach
cramps, itchy skin, hives, headaches, urinary frequency, stuffiness,
fatigue, diarrhea, and possibly asthma. Allergy symptoms are your
body's reaction to something foreign in your system. Symptoms
are caused by an antibody called immunoglobulin E, or IgE, a protein
that the body produces to fight the foreign substance. When there
is sufficient MSM in your system, your cells become more permeable,
enabling your body to quickly flush out any undesirable foreign
particles. If you body is sulfur deficient, the cell walls become
hard and stiff, hindering the flow of fluid through the cell walls.
There are claims that MSM softens the cell walls, allowing allergens,
foreign proteins, and any free-radicals to be moved out of your
system.
MSM Tablets:
It is recommended that you start out by taking 2-3 tablets of
1000 mg. a day the first week. Then the next week take up to 3-6
1000 mg. tablets per day. The optimum effective dosage would depend
on the body size, age, the MSM blood level prior to administration,
and the nature and severity of the condition you are treating.
MSM Powder:
MSM powder form take at least one full scoop (10 grams) per day
(remember one level teaspoon of MSM equals 5 grams and one tablespoon
= 10 grams). For best results build up to at least 20 grams (two
full scoops) of MSM a day. MSM has a bitter taste to it so I dissolve
mine in warm water and chase it down with another drink. Or mix
it in a small glass of chocolate milk to disguise the bitter taste.
Studies show that MSM declines with age, so you would want to
boost your supplementation as you get older. Remember 1 tablespoon
= 10 grams or 10,000 mg and one teaspoon = 5 grams or 5,000 mg.
MSM Side Effects:
Your hair and nails will grow and it will increase your energy
level.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) has been shown to be equally effective
in clinical studies as anti-flammatory drugs, without the adverse
side effects!
Pure MSM can easily be tested at home by pouring a little MSM
powder or crystals into a glass of warm water. If you have MSM
capsules just break one open and pour it into a glass of water.
If the MSM falls to the bottom and does not float on top of the
water, then you have pure MSM. Fillers in MSM will stay on top
of the water. When buying MSM supplements be sure and look for
the OptiMSM logo on each label. You will not find any additives,
fillers, binding agents, or anything else in our product. Our
products all have the OptiMSM logo manufactured from Cardinal
Manufacturer, patented by Robert Herschler and exclusively used
by Dr. Stanley Jacob, M.D., author of The Miracle of MSM. OptiMSM
is always guaranteed to be 99.9% pure methylsulfonylmethane.
There are a lot of manufacturers who claim to sell pure MSM when
indeed they do not. So be sure and check your labels yourself.
Remember look for the OptiMSM logo. Be careful of MSM products
made in India or China. Dietary supplements and herbs imported
from China and India have a poor track record on quality. Ask
for a certificate of analysis and check the melting point of the
msm. A recent review in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics
documents numerous reports of mislabeling and contamination, and
deliberate adulteration of Chinese dietary supplements. Lead contamination
is of particular concern. Also the water conditions in other foreign
countries are of poor quality. Only the United States has the
better capabilities of making pure MSM because of our water control
and its controlled purity form. MSM sulfur supplements are known
by many names including such misspellings as surfor and sulfor.
The correct spelling is sulfur... Statements on this page are
only claims by individuals who take msm regularly.
