What is MSM?

MethylSulfonylMethane Biological Sulpher

MSM is organic sulfur, and is found in all living organisms. It is also contained in raw plant and animal foods. MSM is not found in any foods, which have been either stored during shipping, refrigeration, or cooked. MSM bonds with moisture, and is therefore carried away when dehydration occurs--this is why stored, refrigerated or cooked foods no longer contain MSM.

In the body, MSM is used to repair cells, which have been damaged, as well as promote growth of healthy new cells. MSM also makes cell walls more permeable, thus able to allow more nutrients in-- and to allow waste materials to pass out of cells.

Every day the body actually uses up to 750mg of MSM naturally. MSM is natural, and is actually found in the water we drink, as well as in fresh, unstored and uncooked foods. It is found in fruits and vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Unless you mostly consume raw foods, you are likely not receiving enough MSM to realize its tremendous health benefits.

What are MSM's Benefits?

MSM has a cleansing or "detoxifying effect" on cells within the body. It allows the body to remove toxins that have been accumulated in all types of cells, including fat cells. The suggested usage is about 1 gram per day-- about one half gram in the morning and another half gram in the evening.  Vitamin C and Calcium should also be taken each time that MSM is used. They work together synergistically to provide maximum cellular benefit.  Some people get better results with more, while others find that less works well for them. MSM is not a drug or prescription medicine, it is actually a nutrient, or food that the body consumes.

MSM increases enzyme production within glands in the body, substantially increasing overall resistance to illness.

MSM increases flexibility in tissues within the body, and increases blood circulation.

MSM reduces muscle inflammation, promotes healing in muscles and prevents them from becoming sore and to the degree there is soreness, your recovery and return to normality is quickened.. Athletes, in particular, benefit from this health benefit after working out, intake of additional MSM can dramatically reduce soreness in muscles.

MSM eliminates so-called "free radicals" in the body. Allergies to pollens and certain foods can be reduced or eliminated by its use.

MSM promotes healthy, increased growth of hair and fingernails.

MSM has been studied for possible anti-cancer effects.

MSM aids in healthy skin production.

MSM helps the body properly regulate insulin production. Adequate MSM in the diet can reduce the need for insulin injections.

MSM helps in reducing and often eliminating diverticulosis. Parasites living in the colon are unable to remain attached to the colon's walls, on which MSM forms a smooth, resistant coating.  Hatching worms having nothing to "grab on to" and are flushed out.

MSM helps alleviate emphysema. It provides the body with material to manufacture new, healthy cells on lung walls.

MSM, because of its ability to make cell walls more permeable, causes the body to rapidly release alcohol "hangover" toxins, removing them as waste from the body. The process happens far more rapidly than it normally takes to recover from a hangover, often as quickly as 20 minutes. MSM helps alleviate chronic headaches. Increased circulation in brain cells promotes proper blood circulation within the brain. Less pressure and pain result, reducing tendencies for headaches.

MSM reduces hypoglycemia in the body, because it has made it easier for the body to introduce blood sugar through more permeable cell walls. Less insulin is demanded for the process, resulting in less overuse of the pancreas. Several months of consistent MSM usage can reduce or eliminate hypoglycemia entirely.

MSM helps alleviate PMS. Glandular production is enhanced by MSM to have more "normal" levels of production. Acid levels, enzyme levels, hormonal levels all are more evenly balanced with MSM. Cramps, headaches, and nausea from the monthly cycle can be reduced or eliminated through its use.

MSM helps promote better kidney function. It helps the body replace bad cells with good ones so the kidneys can start function more efficiently. Water retention problems due to bad kidney function can be alleviated.

When Should MSM Not Be Taken?

Pregnant or nursing women should not take MSM unless otherwise advised by their physician. MSM causes rapid detoxing which causes toxins, which have been stored up, to flush through the cells and into the bloodstream and cardiovascular system. MSM itself is not harmful, but the toxins flowing through the system can be too strong for an infant since they are flushing out at a rapid rate. MSM can be continued after the pregnancy term is over and nursing is no longer occurring. Always consult with a doctor before taking any kind of supplement while pregnant or nursing.
