CHRONIC PAIN KILLER

MSM-A Miracle Supplement

       This is a bit of a long article, but I ask that you go through it carefully – everybody knows somebody who needs this information.  That is why I have highlighted certain words to try and catch your attention.  As a supplement, it could not be less expensive- I purchased 2 pounds on Amazon for $19.00.  

MSM is methylsulfonylmethane, an organic, biologically active form of sulfur.  Biologically active sulfur has amazing preventative and therapeutic properties.  It is a waste product from the paper/wood pulp industry.  Following calcium and phosphorous, sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in the body, and half is found in muscular tissue, skin and bones.  Sulfur is critical for connective tissue, not just for structure, but for communication.  The lack of elasticity and flexibility as we age is due to a lack of adequate sulfur.  Sulfur pulls toxins out of our cells and allows for greater absorption of nutrients and oxygen. (1)

MSM binds to mucus membrane surfaces, so that means allergens and parasites are prevented from attaching to it, toxins are trapped and oxidized and free radicals are eliminated.

Some miraculous benefits:

1.    MSM is a pain killer.  Drs. Jacob and Lawrence published “The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain”, based on their 20 years of experience.  The types of pain treated with MSM are:

·         Personal injury due to accidents, burns, etc.

·         Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

·         Fibromyalgia

·         Lower back pains

·         Headaches, migraines

·         Muscle aches

·         Bursitis

·         Tennis elbows and other sports injuries

·         Carpal Syndrome

·         Sclerosis

·         Whiplash

·         RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)(Think carpal tunnel)

·         SCARS due to burns, operations, accidents, etc. MSM slows down and restores cross-linking in collagen, which is a natural process of scar formation causing hard and painful scar tissue, particularly in case of burns.  People who have treated burn scars with an MSM ointment have seen them virtually heal.

2.    MSM is known as the “beauty mineral”, because sulfur is crucial for the production of collagen and keratin, components of skin, hair, and nails.  Oral dosages have shown to be effective against acne, rosacea, while topically it is used against acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, scabies, and scarring. (1, 6)

3.    MSM is a master-antioxidant.  The spin-offs of MSM create powerful antioxidants such as glutathione, methionine, cysteine and taurine. (2)

4.    POWERFUL DETOXIFIER - MSM drastically increases the ability of cells to excrete toxic waste products, including heavy metals; AND to absorb nutrients.  Many health practitioners working with MSM will state that it is the most powerful detoxifying nutraceutical or pharmaceutical agent they have ever worked with. (1)  So if you begin taking this, start low and slow - you do not want to trigger a Herxheimer (Detox) reaction, which is a temporary overload of toxins released into your system.  You may suffer from mild headaches, nausea, chills, sweating, fatigue, aching muscles, mucous, body odor, rashes, dizziness, weakness or even foggy brain for a few hours or in some cases, a few days.  If this happens, lower your dosage but keep taking it – clearly you need to detox!

5.    Speaking of heavy metals, MSM is one of the few antioxidants that can PENETRATE THE BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER (think Aluminum/Alzheimer’s) it prevents and repairs oxidative damage and RESTORES cell membrane elasticity and permeability.  There was an example of a woman who hadn’t spoken and was bedridden FOR SIX YEARS due to Alzheimer’s. A naturopath suggested two TEASPOONS of MSM daily and after TWO WEEKS, the woman smiled and said, “I feel better now” and it took a few months, but she got back to a normal life.

6.    ALLERGIES – MSM alleviates all kinds of allergies, including FOOD ALLERGIES, CONTACT ALLERGIES, INHALATION ALLERGIES and others.  A direct correlation between concentration of MSM used and resistance to allergens has been established. It also acts as an antihistamine(3, 4, 5)

7.    AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE – MSM is very effective against arthritis (both kinds), reducing JOINT DEGENERATION and INFLAMMATION, as well as pain and stiffness.  Also, very effective with ALD and SLE.

8.    PARASITES -The major antiparasitic property of MSM stems from its ability to bind to the mucosa (mucus membranes) and present a natural blocking layer between hosts and parasites. It's as though MSM puts down a coating on the mucosa, which parasites find impenetrable and can't cling to. Unable to stick, the parasites are simply flushed out of the body. (5, 6) If you like sushi or pork, this is one to remember!

9.    DIABETES -Studies indicate that MSM improves cellular glucose uptake by improving cell permeability, thus balancing blood sugar level and returning the pancreas to normal functioning (5). The sulfur-containing B vitamin biotin is a critical part of glucokinase, the enzyme involved in the utilization of the sugar glucose. Sulfur is also a component of insulin, the protein hormone secreted by the pancreas that is essential to carbohydrate metabolism.

10. Especially in combination with vitamin C, MSM has demonstrated remarkable ability to reduce or eliminate the incidence of muscle soreness, leg and back cramps. MSM is particularly successful with geriatric patients who have such cramps during the night or after long periods of inactivity. Many people with stiff muscles and joints have reported a marked improvement after using MSM for some time. Several cases have been reported of people who suffer from CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME, who have been cured by using MSM. An elderly woman was slated to have an operation performed on both wrists. On the advice of the author she started using MSM. A month later her symptoms had all but disappeared, and the operation was no longer necessary.   Also, the physical fatigue syndrome following intense athletic activity in competitive sports, which usually persist for 8-10 days in athletes, was gone in 2-3 days in individuals who had ingested 1-2 gram MSM per day for the preceding six months (3)

11. MSM gives relief from constipation and stomach acidity.

12. MSM has no known toxicity.
